Bai Fengqing originally wanted to follow Bai Zhi’er.
However, the little one said, "Fifth Brother, you stay here."
"When Third Aunt’s medicine is ready, you send it over, so these two troublemakers won’t mess around again."
Bai Fengqing was five years older than Bai Zhi’er.
But, after the earlier incident,
he had long been obedient to his sister’s every command.
"Don’t worry!" Bai Fengqing patted his chest. "Leave it to me here. I guarantee they won’t dare to act up again!"
Only then did Bai Zhi’er follow Qing Lan to the courtyard of Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu.
Qing Lan bowed. "Your Highness Princess, I will go report to the Princess Consort first."
She thought for a moment and still advised, "At this hour, Third Young Master is definitely not awake."
"Princess, you might as well play in the side pavilion for a while, and later, I will bring Little Shitou from the Princess Consort’s side to wake the Princely Heir."
Perhaps fearing Bai Zhi’er wouldn’t understand,
Qing Lan whispered, "Otherwise, if Third Young Master doesn’t sleep well, he will scold people!"
"So every time, the Princess Consort lets the servant Shitou call him. Shitou is used to being scolded. Your Highness Princess, don’t go provoke and upset him; otherwise, the Princess Consort will be distressed."
After listening, Bai Zhi’er’s delicate, long lashes blinked twice.
She smiled sweetly, "Sister Qing Lan, you go ahead~ Third Brother won’t be fierce with me~"
Qing Lan hesitated to speak, but finally said nothing and bowed out.
Bai Zhi’er stopped her small feet at Bai Yaoyu’s door.
She reached out and knocked "knock knock" twice on the door.
"Third Brother!" the little one called, lifting her fair face.
However, there was no sound from inside.
Bai Zhi’er pushed open the door, her small head peeking in to check.
She saw a faint silhouette still lying on the bed.
She quietly stepped inside.
Reaching the bedside, Bai Yaoyu was indeed sleeping soundly.
He lay flat, one hand on his forehead, revealing part of his handsome long brows.
Bai Zhi’er puffed out her rosy cheeks.
She reached out her chubby little finger and poked Bai Yaoyu’s cheek.
Bai Yaoyu, very impatiently, turned over.
"Don’t bother me!" he scolded irritably with his eyes closed.
Bai Zhi’er immediately opened her big, watery eyes wide.
Third Brother, actually scolded her!
The little one pouted her lips in grievance.
Both of her little hands pushed Bai Yaoyu’s shoulder again.
"Third Brother, why aren’t you paying attention to me?"
Bai Yaoyu was known for his bad mood when woken up, something well-known in the Mansion.
On top of that, this Third Young Master was known for his fiery temper.
The house servants didn’t dare approach his courtyard while he slept.
Even those close to him would stay far away.
To avoid making any noise that might wake up Bai Yaoyu, surely resulting in a scolding or beating!
Such prodding like Bai Zhi’er’s was indeed a first!
Bai Yaoyu originally wanted to shout "Get lost!"
But after hearing Bai Zhi’er’s soft little voice, he was startled and opened his eyes, suddenly sitting up!
"Sister..." His hair was a mess from sleep, his eyes not entirely free from drowsiness, already replaced by surprise.
Realizing what was happening, Bai Yaoyu patted his forehead.
"Zhi’er, Third Brother was wrong. I just fell asleep less than an hour after finding a doctor for Lord Xu last night."
"Brother forgot you were coming. Don’t be mad at Brother, okay?"
Bai Zhi’er sat pitifully on the edge of the bed.
Her big eyes filled with grievance.
"Sob~" She covered her eyes with her little hands, as if saddened by the scolding.
Bai Yaoyu immediately panicked!
"Zhi’er, don’t cry, don’t cry! Third Brother won’t scold you again!"
He hurriedly hugged his sister in his arms, patting her little back to comfort her.
