Chapter 608 - To Become Your Harbor
Zhu Junyang hugged the little lad's chubby body as he patiently instructed him, "You need to remember this lesson clearly; you can only dote on your wife! She can hit you, but you can't lay a finger on her. If your wife beats you, it means that you didn't perform your husbandly duty well enough. You have to correct your mistakes until she's happy, do you understand?"
Fang Haolin looked confused as he looked up at him. How could a three-year-old child understand his words? Zhu Junyang said this mostly for his future mother-in-law and wife to hear.
Lady Fang's teeth ached when she heard his sappy speech. She pulled her son over, put some warm clothes on him, and handed him over to the wet nurse standing to the side. She smiled and said, "Since the two of you have some official business to discuss, I will take Lin'er to the main courtyard first. Junyang, you should stay for lunch. You can ask Xiaocao to make something you like!"
"Linlin wants to eat cream puffs!" Fang Haolin was unwilling to leave her sister, he immediately reached out his claws.
Yu Xiaocao stuck out her tongue at him and snorted, "You a little traitor! There's no cream puffs, cakes, or biscuits for you today!"
"Older Sister--Older Sister is the best! Sister is the prettiest! You're the most amazing sister in the world!" Fang Haolin threw himself into her embrace. Xiaocao was startled by his sudden action; she quickly put away the needles she was holding in her hand and patted the little lad's chubby bottom. That was too dangerous. If the knitting needle had accidentally stabbed the little lad's face or eyes, then the consequences would've been unthinkable.
Lady Fang broke into a cold sweat. She glared at the stunned wet nurse standing to the side and rebuked her son harshly, "In the future, when someone has something in their hands, then you are not allowed to throw yourself into their arms. What if that needle has accidentally poked you?"
"I'm not afraid because Older Sister has a lot of medicine!" Fang Haolin grew up drinking Xiaocao's medicine concoction. He stared at Xiaocao with his big round eyes and seemed to be a little confused.
Yu Xiaocao had a solemn expression on her face, "It's no excuse to be careless just because I have medicine. Did it hurt when your hand was cut by a knife last time? Your wounds would still hurt if you get punctured by a needle, even if you have medicine. In a more serious case, if you were blinded by a poisonous needle, then you will never be able to see me or your parents anymore!! Do you know what's wrong now?"
When he heard that he might never be able to see his sister and parents again, Fang Haolin immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He cried out, "I don't want to never be able to see my sister again. Linlin still wants to be able to see my parents. Wah wah waahh...Linlin knows that Linlin is in the wrong. I will never do that again!"
Yu Xiaocao watched as the little lad cried so much that his face flushed red. She felt distressed for him, so she embraced him in her arms and comforted him softly, "Linlin, be obedient, and stop crying! As long as you know that you were wrong and learn from your mistake, then you'll still be a good boy!!!" Then, she took this opportunity to tell the little lad a few cautionary children's fairy tales. The little lad listened to the fairy tales with great interest and soon forgot about crying.
Seeing that the little lad was lively and full of energy again, Lady Fang hurriedly asked the wet nurse to take him away. Didn't you see how restless and helpless Royal Prince Jun looked by the sideline? They should stop acting like bad guys and leave the two for a chance to be alone.
"Tell me, what important matter did you come across that made you come running here instead of staying at home and resting?" Yu Xiaocao picked up the knitting needle again and skillfully started to knit again.
