Chapter 1151: Question

After Fan Zijin sent Little Madam Xia and Little Fu back to the Fan Residence after lunch, he came to the King’s Residence to pick up Little An. At this moment, the children were still immersed in the excitement of tricking Andre and Antonio.

Seeing that his son was so excited that his face was red and he was in high spirits, Fan Zijin couldn’t help but turn to ask Qi Haoran, “What mischief are the kids up to? Are you sure they were the ones who tricked outsiders and not the ones who were tricked?”

Qi Haoran said smugly, “Are our children that stupid? Don’t worry, Ah Ling and I are here to watch over them.”

“Then I’m even more worried…” Fan Zijin said faintly.

Qi Haoran glared at him angrily. Mu Yangling said from the side, “Little Treasure and Little Bear took the lead in this matter while Little An perfected it.” She told him what Little An had said to Tiger Head and the others.

Fan Zijin looked a little proud. “Although he’s still lacking, it’s already rare for him to be so capable at this age.”

Annoyed to see his smug look, Qi Haoran emphasized again, “Little Treasure and Little Bear were the ones who suggested it first. I wonder how they came up with these ideas.”

Ignoring the two childish men, Mu Yangling called the children into the house and said, “Little Treasure, Little Bear, Little An, this is your suggestion. Since you already have a rough idea, each of you can write a memorial and send it to His Majesty. I’ll suggest that you two participate in the negotiation with Spain. Even if you aren’t allowed to speak, you can just watch and learn.”

The other children immediately lined up and looked at Mu Yangling with bright eyes, hoping that she would look at them quickly.

As expected, Mu Yangling looked at them and said, “Wensu, Tiger Head, Little Lion, since you’re not young anymore, you guys should write an article too. There’s no limit to the topic, but it must be an external theme. Just write whatever comes to mind.” Mu Yangling smiled. “I won’t show your teacher this article and will just review it myself.”

The three children were happy upon hearing that they could write whatever they wanted. They wouldn’t be slapped in the palm of their hands, and their teacher wouldn’t bear grudges and settle scores with them at a later date.

The three little heads quickly gathered together to discuss.

Only Qi Wenqian and Qi Wenmi were left. They raised their heads to look at Mu Yangling. Looking at the two tender-aged children, Mu Yangling rubbed their heads and said, “You guys can write an article as well. Since you are still young, I will not limit the topic or set the scope. You can write whatever you want, only that it must be related to what happened today.”

The two of them lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.

The boy-girl twins squeezed in from behind and clung to their mother’s knees as they said anxiously, “There’s still us, there’s still us.”

Mu Yangling hugged them and said with a smile, “You guys also have homework. Let your father teach you to recognize everyone’s names and the names of the two foreign guests tonight, okay?”

Little Leopard and Baozhu felt that their mother was belittling them, so they said unhappily, “We want to write an article too.”

“Can you write?”

Little Leopard and Baozhu were depressed. “Why are we so young?”

When Qi Haoran heard this from behind, he laughed out loud and went forward to carry the two of them. “That’s because the Guanyin of Child-giving likes you, so she kept you by her side for the longest time. If not for Father and Mother’s sincerity, we wouldn’t have been blessed with you two.”

As soon as these words were spoken, before the boy-girl twins could express their joy, Tiger Head, Little Lion, and the others had already scrambled to shout, “No, Imperial Physician Wang clearly said that a child is born from a combination of sperm and eggs. Children aren’t sent by the Guanyin of Child-giving at all. Daddy, you’re so stupid. All that talk about goddesses and buddhas is obviously a lie, yet you actually believed it.”

Qi Haoran: “…” For the first time, Qi Haoran felt that Ah Ling’s lessons were so annoying.

Fan Zijin glanced at a certain stupid father and stood up to speak to his son. “We’re going back. Tomorrow, your Fourth Uncle will come to our house as a guest. As the little master, you have to prepare the things to entertain the guests.”

Mu Yangling stopped the father and son and waved at the children with a smile. “Come, line up. Fourth Aunt will ask you one last question before you leave.”

Mu Yangling asked Little Bear first, “Little Bear, what kind of wife do you want to marry in the future?”

Little Bear replied without thinking, “Someone like Mother.”

Mu Yangling smiled in satisfaction and turned to Little Treasure. Little Treasure was a little shy and whispered, “I fancy someone like Fourth Aunt too.”

Afterwards, there was no need for Mu Yangling to ask. Tiger Head and Little Lion scrambled to answer that they, too, wished to marry someone like their mother. Even Wenqian and Wenmi shouted loudly at the side that they would like a young lady like their Fourth Aunt.

Qi Wensu stepped forward very seriously. “Fourth Aunt, I like girls like you. Are there any nieces or nieces like you in your maternal family?”

Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin were stunned.

Mu Yangling smiled and said that there wasn’t one yet, but there might be one in the future, if he could wait.

Tiger Head and Little Lion were already whispering into each other’s ears. “Mother, you’re really strange today. Why are you asking us this question?”

Little Lion said firmly, “She must be afraid that we won’t love her when we grow up. Imperial Physician Wang said that women will be anxious and insecure when they reach a certain age.”

Tiger Head patted his chest in relief. “Fortunately, I’m quick-witted. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be at peace if Mother gets angry.”

Little Lion nodded sadly. “Mother is very fierce when she gets mad.”

The two children hid in the distance and whispered to each other. Coincidentally, not far behind Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran, Fan Zijin turned around and asked them, “Then what kind of young lady do you like?”

Tiger Head shushed her and stole a glance at his mother. He said in a low voice, “I like someone like Second Aunt. She’s very gentle to Brother Little An.”

However, Little Lion said, “I haven’t thought about it yet, but I definitely don’t fancy girls like my mother. I’m afraid of being beaten up.”

Fan Zijin could not help but laugh out loud and look at Mu Yangling. Considering her hearing was excellent, there was no reason for her not to hear it.

Mu Yangling did hear it. She looked at Little An and asked, “Little An, what kind of woman do you want to marry in the future?”

Little An glanced at his father and braced himself against his gaze. “I like girls like Fourth Aunt.”

This time, it was Qi Haoran’s turn to laugh out loud. “I was wondering what you were talking about to your Fourth Aunt today. So it was about this. If you like her, so be it. However, it’s impossible for you for there to be another woman who’s just like your Fourth Aunt.”

Fan Zijin raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Yangling. “What did Little An say to you?”

Mu Yangling raised her eyebrows and looked back at him. “What do you think?”

Fan Zijin gritted his teeth at his son. “This brat!”

Mu Yangling stood in front of Little An and provoked him. “Little An was just being honest. It’s not gentlemanly to bully children.”

Fan Zijin snorted. “When did I say that I’m a gentleman?”

The children held their breaths nervously as they watched the two of them retort against each other. Qi Haoran looked at his brother and then at his wife, then decisively went forward and pulled Fan Zijin away. He put his arm around Fan Zijin’s shoulder and walked out. “Let’s go. Don’t be in a hurry to go home. Let’s go have a drink first.”
