"If you co down, we can go find Daddy tomorrow, but if you don’t, we’ll leave you at ho and Mum and your brother will go find Daddy, okay?"
Alright, to get the little rascal moving, Yang Chuxia resorted to using threats.
"No, no!" Little Lele’s head shook like a rattle drum.
"So, are you coming down or not?" Yang Chuxia asked again. Seeing that he still didn’t move, she said to her younger son, "Yangyang, tell Brother to co down."
"Co down, co down!" When Yangyang heard his mother speak, he waved to his brother.
Yang Chuxia then told him, "Yangyang, call for Brother."
"Brother, Brother, co down, co down..." Yangyang obediently called out to his brother while waving.
But Lele just sat on the bed, watching his mother and brother, seemingly with no intention of moving. Yang Chuxia was almost ready to give up; this stubborn child was too obstinate.
Just then, Yangyang wobbled over to the soft bed, reaching out his little hand to Lele, "Brother, Brother..."
Initially he had no plans to move, but seeing his brother’s hand stretched out continually, he pouted his lips and also lifted his hand. The brothers held hands, and Lele smiled at Yangyang, who smiled back even more joyfully, not forgetting his objective, "Co down!"
This ti, Lele didn’t hesitate. He let go of his brother’s hand, rolled off the bed, and when he got to the floor, he took his brother’s hand again. They looked towards their mother and inched closer, and when they were just a step away, the two brothers lunged forward at once.
"Wow..." Embracing her soft, sweet-slling sons, Yang Chuxia’s heart lted, "Lele and Yangyang are so good! When Daddy sees this, he will be really happy!"
"Happy, happy..."
"Daddy happy..."
Listening to Yang Chuxia’s words, the two little ones clapped their hands and echoed.
She then read with the children for a while longer.
"Madam, there is a letter from Mianyang." A servant brought in a letter. Yang Chuxia was puzzled since the letter sent to Brother An back in March should not be due to arrive at this ti.
"Who brought it?" Yang Chuxia asked.
The servant replied, "Soone from town brought it, said another person had asked them to deliver it."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chuxia waved the servant away.
She ripped open the letter and could not help but twitch at the corner of her mouth from start to finish!
"Madam?" Seeing an odd look on Yang Chuxia’s face, Mother Li quickly showed concern and asked, "What’s wrong?"
"Heh, a woman claiming to be our son’s Concubine Cao sent this letter," Yang Chuxia clicked her tongue. It was said that Cao Lingling could not read or write, so for such a letter, she must have had soone else write these barefacedly shaless words on her behalf.
"Concubine Cao? The girl from the Cao Family?" Mother Li was shocked. The madam was ho with the children, how could the son in Mianyang have truly taken that woman as a concubine?
"Madam, don’t take it too hard. Perhaps there is so misunderstanding in this matter; it’s not necessarily as she claims," seeing her staring silently at the letter, Mother Li thought she was angry and saddened, and hurried to comfort her, "Madam, no matter what Concubine Cao is like, or whether she is currently favored or not, you have two little masters, and your position is absolutely secure. She won’t be able to lord over you; she’s rely a concubine. You are the principal wife, and when the ti cos, how you deal with her is up to you. On normal days, have her co and serve you, pour tea, fetch water, however you like. In a big household, a concubine is nothing but soone to serve the lady of the house."
