“There will be gains and losses,” Shadow Six comforted. “Besides, I believe you can defeat them one day.”
Young Master Manor.
After Yu Wan, Bai Tang, and the three fat little fellows had lunch, Bai Tang suggested bringing the fat little fellows to take a walk on the streets. A new snack shop had just opened opposite the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and the taste was very good. Coincidentally, at this moment, Zi Su entered the room with a box of newly made snacks from the kitchen. “Young Madam, I’ve prepared something for Young Master Yu.”
Second Brother?
Yu Wan patted her head. Her second brother had been in the Directorate for more than a month. Today happened to be the day of the Directorate’s monthly examination. She had said that she would visit him, but she had forgotten everything after the incident with Helian Qi.
“How could I have forgotten such an important thing?” Yu Wan murmured.
“Don’t tell me you’re pregnant?” Bai Tang leaned over and looked at her flat stomach. “You’ll be stupid for three years when you’re pregnant.”
Yu Wan said strangely, “How could I get pregnant in the first month?”
“First month?” Bai Tang gave Yu Wan a look. She could get pregnant on her first night, was an entire month not enough for spring plowing and autumn harvest?
Yu Wan touched her stomach. Her appetite had not been good these few days. Could it be that she’s really pregnant? Her period did not seem to have come either, but her period had always been irregular. It was not too strange to have it a few days earlier or later.
Was she pregnant or not?
She was already the mother of three sons. Although the children were very cute, she was really not prepared to get pregnant with a second child.
Bai Tang chuckled when she saw her pale face. “Alright, alright. I was just scaring you. How can it be so easy to get pregnant? Children are a gift from the heavens. They’ve already given three of them to you. It’s time to give them to others! Hurry up and visit your second brother. You don’t have to accompany me.”
Logically speaking, they could go to the Directorate together. However, Bai Tang was not married into the family. If she went to visit her future brother-in-law like this, it would inevitably attract gossip.
She had also agreed to bring those little fellows to shop.
Yu Wan looked at her sons.
Bai Tang understood and smiled. “I’ll bring them to buy snacks.”
“Can you do it?” Yu Wan asked.
Bai Tang widened her almond-shaped eyes. “Why can’t I? Don’t underestimate me! Besides, they’re so obedient. They definitely won’t run around, right?”
As she spoke, she smiled and pinched the cheeks of the three little fatties. The little fatties nodded adorably, indicating that they were really obedient.
Bai Tang was her future sister-in-law, so there was nothing to worry about letting her sons follow her on the streets. However, in case the little fellows were naughty, Yu Wan left Jiang Hai and Zi Su behind and let them follow her.
Then, Yu Wan brought the snacks and newly picked fruits to the Directorate. Bai Tang pulled the three little fellows into the carriage heading to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion.
Bai Tang was in a good mood after finally abducting the three little fellows!
“You’re mine today!” Bai Tang pinched their faces excitedly.
Soon, the carriage arrived at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Since everyone was here, it would be rude not to greet Master Qin. Bai Tang held the little fellows’ hands and alighted from the carriage. However, Master Qin was not around today. The shopkeeper knew Bai Tang and knew that she was the second-in-charge’s best friend. She also brought the second-in-charge’s children, so he quickly welcomed her to Yu Wan’s accounting room.
Jiang Hai went to buy snacks.
After the reputation of the Drunken Immortal Pavilion spread, the business of the entire street prospered. Although the shop had not been open for long, there was already a long queue.
Bai Tang sat quietly in the room and waited, but the little fatties could not hold back their burning loneliness. They lay on the windowsill and kept looking out.
“Aiyo! Be careful of falling!” Bai Tang quickly walked forward and dug the three little fatties down one by one.
But after a while, the three of them climbed onto the windowsill again.
Bai Tang glared at the three of them helplessly. “Alright, alright. I understand. I’ll bring you down for a walk.”
The three fat children slipped down the windowsill and grabbed Bai Tang’s hand.
Bai Tang and Zi Su led the three fat children downstairs.
The three of them had not been on the streets for a long time. Their eyes were wide open as they looked around.
“Candied hawthorn—sweet and big—”
Not far away, a hawker walked past.
The three fat children looked at the strings of beautiful candied hawthorn and drooled. “Slurp~”
Bai Tang laughed loudly.
Zi Su also smiled and said to Bai Tang, “I’ll go buy a few.”
Bai Tang couldn’t help but laugh. “Go.”
The hawker selling candied hawthorn was not far away. Zi Su took small steps and went over. Although the wind was strong today, the sun was also scorching. Bai Tang felt a little hot after basking in the sun for a while. She fanned herself with a handkerchief and inadvertently looked down to see that the three little fat fellows were already sweating profusely.
