Chapter 267 - 113: Heavy Responsibilities, Long Road Ahead

How did it get stolen?

Lady Yun and the siblings were briefly startled. This matter, it’s a long story to tell, luckily all ended without danger.

Looking at the little one’s eyes full of confusion, Yun Wanchen suppressed the urge to explain things to her and gently cleared his throat.

"Mother, let’s not stand here, I’ll escort you back to your room. Little sister hasn’t had milk for quite a while, she must be quite hungry now, you’d better quickly feed her."

With his reminder, Lady Yun realized how negligent she was to have overlooked such an important matter.

She quickly wiped her tears and urged, "Yes, yes, Xiao Si must be starving, hurry back to feed her, it’s all my fault for not remembering this."

[That’s because you were too worried today, upon suddenly seeing me, your emotions went up and down, that’s why you forgot.]

[Usually, you never forget such things, you always take very good care of me on ordinary days.]

The brief conversation between Lady Yun and Yun Wanchen caught all of Yun Wanqing’s attention.

She instantly forgot the questions puzzling her, clutching Lady Yun’s sleeve, responding in her heart.

But soon, her brow furrowed, with a distressed look she silently confided.

[But I really am very hungry.]

[Mother, those guys, they didn’t even give me a drop of milk, and even disdained my loud crying, so detestable.]

[If they were denied food at mealtime, they’d surely fuss as well, wouldn’t they?]

[When second brother leads people to bring those guys back tied up, hopefully, he won’t let them eat, making them go hungry for a few meals.]

[...]

Hearing these words, Lady Yun’s heart ached deeply, inwardly cursing that group several times, her pace quickening, eager to return to the room immediately.

As for Yun Wanchen, he secretly noted her words in his heart.

Since it’s what little sister desires, he would fulfill her wish.

Once those people are brought back tied up, he’d personally instruct not to feed them for today and tomorrow, letting them go hungry.

Soon, the group returned to Wan’an Garden.

With Yun Wanyao holding her, Lady Yun personally fed her milk, and within moments, Yun Wanqing’s tummy was round and full, finally satisfied.

Unaware, Lady Yun continued to feed her, spoon approaching her mouth, she reached out to push the spoon away gently, accidentally knocking it over, spilling milk onto her clothes.

Yet she didn’t mind at all.

[Mother, that’s enough, enough, can’t eat anymore, if I eat more I’ll end up spitting up milk.]

"Has Xiao Si had enough?"

Lady Yun smiled slightly, placed the bowl and spoon down, picking up a cloth to gently wipe her mouth, then proceeded to clean the milk off her clothes.

[Yes, Mother, I’m very full.]

Yun Wanqing immediately responded in her heart, even helpfully letting out a milk burp.

"Oh, Xiao Si burped, looks like she’s full."

Lady Yun smiled, pulling her closer, turning to Yun Wanyao, "The hour is late, you’ve been worried and tense all day, you’re probably tired too, tonight, don’t go back, sleep here with me."

"Okay."

Yun Wanyao happily agreed, getting up and cheerfully diving towards the bed; it’s been a long time since she last slept with Mother.

She took off her shoes and rolled into the bed, joyfully arranging their sleeping positions.

"I’ll sleep on the inside, little sister in the middle, Mother on the outside."

Lady Yun immediately rejected her arrangement.

"No way, who knows if you’ll be restless after falling asleep? What if you crush Xiao Si? You cannot sleep beside her."

Yun Wanyao: "..."

The joy she felt moments ago suddenly plummeted.

The main reason for her excitement about staying to sleep was the thought of finally being able to sleep beside her little sister, but Mother refused, fearing she might be restless in her sleep, what kind of situation is this?

"Mother, I’m very settled in my sleep, I won’t crush my little sister, please let me sleep beside her. I want to sleep next to her."

Yun Wanyao held Lady Yun’s arm, shaking it, tearfully, imploringly looking at her, strategically trying to be sweet.

Seeing her like this, Lady Yun’s heart softened, but she ultimately bit her lip and refused.

"No, Xiao Si is still young, what if you roll over and cover her with the blanket while asleep? That could cause a problem."

And a very serious problem at that.

These years, she’d heard several tragic incidents where young couples smothered or crushed their child due to restless sleep.
