"Yes, your subordinate understands!"
After being reprimanded, he finally understood and quickly agreed to Baili Xi's words.
"It's good that you understand. Be smart when you're doing things. Know what to say and what not to say."
"Yes, General!"
After Baili Xi's subtle reminder, he continued to walk forward. If Gu Beichen dared to obstruct him, he would only meet his death.
...
"Young Madam, the wet nurse has arrived and is waiting outside the door. As per your instructions, she has a clean background."
Feng Jin carefully placed the sleeping child in her arms into the cradle. Although this child was a bit frail, he ate a lot and was very easy to care for, sleeping when he ate and eating when he slept. He rarely fussed.
Raising him was truly a relief. Compared to Da Bao and Er Bao's fussiness when they were young, this was simply an angelic baby.
"It's good that she has a clean background. Please instruct the kitchen to be extra attentive to the wet nurse's meals and ensure there are no mistakes."
"Yes, Young Madam, this servant has noted it." Chu Qing kept everything Feng Jin said in mind. She didn't understand why the Young Madam was so concerned about this child, even more so than the two young masters.
If the young masters found out, they might get jealous.
"Young Madam, you've been dedicating all your attention to this child these past few days. You haven't seen the young masters for quite some time."
Chu Qing hesitated before speaking up to remind her. Yesterday, Da Bao had complained that he hadn't seen his mother for several days, and it seemed he missed her.
After this reminder, Feng Jin came to her senses. It was her fault for being so focused on taking care of this little one that she had neglected Da Bao and Er Bao. She was truly an unqualified mother.
"Young Madam, I'll watch over him here. You should go and see the two young masters, otherwise, they will be heartbroken."
"Alright then, but this child's body is weak. You must be careful."
Feng Jin turned to look at the child still in the cradle, speaking with a hint of worry. This child was indeed born with insufficient vitality, and after going through so much, his body had become even weaker, unable to withstand even the slightest bit of stress.
It was all her fault for being soft-hearted and causing so much trouble. She didn't know how she would explain to the Empress Dowager if she couldn't take good care of the child.
"Young Madam, please rest assured. This servant will take good care of him. You should go and see the young masters first."
As soon as she finished speaking, Chu Qing hurried Feng Jin to leave.
"Why hasn't Mother come yet..."
Da Bao eagerly looked towards the door, expecting to see Feng Jin's figure. He wished he could look up every minute, but it was almost noon, and his mother still hadn't come. He estimated she wouldn't be coming today.
"Alas... Mother has the new little brother, so she doesn't want us anymore..."
Sighing in disappointment, Da Bao felt that his mother was no longer as concerned about him now that she had a new little brother.
She had been accompanying that new little brother for so many days and hadn't visited him for a long time. He figured she had already forgotten about him and didn't love him anymore.
He was also a pitiable child, about to become unloved. Thinking this, Da Bao's mood became even more dejected, and he couldn't help but sigh.
Er Bao, annoyed by his grumbling, rolled his eyes and said, "Shut up!"
He couldn't be quiet for a single day, always making so much noise. Couldn't he give others a moment's peace?
"Mother doesn't want you anymore!"
Da Bao stood up, put his hands on his hips, and shouted at Er Bao. Anyway, no matter what, Er Bao would accompany him. If his mother didn't want them, Er Bao would also become a child without a mother's love, just like him. At least he had a companion, so he wasn't *that* pitiful.
Ignoring Da Bao, Er Bao simply rolled his eyes and didn't take Da Bao's words to heart at all. He believed his mother would never abandon them. It was just that she was too busy taking care of the little brother these past few days.
That's why she hadn't paid attention to them. Besides, they were already grown up and should be taking care of their younger brother. When his mother was done being busy, she would definitely come to see them.
It was absolutely absurd, unlike what Da Bao said, that their mother didn't want them anymore just because she had a new little brother.
"Why aren't you talking?" Da Bao noticed Er Bao's silence, walked over to him, and sat down, staring intently at Er Bao. "Brother is asking you a question, why aren't you talking?"
He felt that Er Bao had no respect for him as an elder brother at all. This was all because he hadn't educated Er Bao properly. When the little brother grew up, he would need to be educated well. The first point was to learn to respect his elder brother.
He absolutely couldn't let him be like Er Bao, who didn't put his elder brother in his eyes at all.
Er Bao impatiently rolled his eyes, finding Da Bao extremely noisy. He had only been born a few minutes earlier than him, yet he always maintained an elder brother's demeanor.
He even thought of using his elder brother status to suppress him and lecture him on everything. It wasn't that simple, and he wouldn't listen to Da Bao.
Er Bao picked up a book and stood up, walking towards the window and sitting down directly.
"Who told you to leave!"
"Don't come over. You're too noisy."
Er Bao's tone was very firm, not allowing Da Bao to come near him again. He talked too much and would disturb his reading.
Da Bao stomped his feet in anger. He was already learning to read at such a young age, and he still couldn't recognize all the characters.
With a 'creak,' the door was opened from the outside.
Upon hearing the sound, Da Bao immediately rushed towards the door. When he saw Feng Jin's figure, he even flew into her arms, tightly hugging her neck and refusing to let go. "Mother... Mother, you're finally here."
The moment he fell into Feng Jin's embrace, Da Bao felt extremely wronged, and tears began to stream down his face.
"Okay... okay, don't cry, Mother is here now..."
Feng Jin also felt that she had indeed let her children down. She hadn't visited them for such a long time, and she felt even more guilty.
Especially Da Bao's crying felt like a sharp knife piercing her heart, making her chest feel extremely uncomfortable.
Although Er Bao wasn't as excited as Da Bao, he also walked over with a hint of apprehension, standing beside them and watching quietly. He took a step forward, stood beside Feng Jin, and respectfully called out, "Mother."
"Er Bao, come here, let Mother hug you."
Seeing Feng Jin extend her hand, Er Bao no longer held back and directly rushed into Feng Jin's embrace.
