“No.” Lu Jie said with a frown, “Yan’er is in the wrong, but Qi Wenjin has already hit him and Qi Haoran has also taken revenge. It’s fine for Yan’er to apologize, but his son has to apologize to my son too.”

Grand Tutor Lu pointed at Lu Jie and was so angry that he could not speak. “Do you think Qi Haoran will let his son apologize?”

“Then drag it out.” Lu Jie said in a low voice, “Father, we can’t lose the dignity of an aristocratic family. Yan’er is my eldest son. I definitely won’t let him be criticized.”

Grand Tutor Lu was furious. “Yan’er is only six years old, and it’s a trivial matter of children fighting. What dignity is there to speak of?”

Lu Jie snorted and looked at his father in understanding.

Grand Tutor Lu felt his face burning. He said helplessly, “Yan’er is only six years old.” He wanted to categorize this matter as a fight between children. Wasn’t it normal for children to quarrel and fight?

“If the masses start gossiping about it, it won’t be a a trivial matter of fighting among children. In any case, I don’t agree.”

“Then don’t go out.” Grand Tutor Yan flicked his sleeves and said, “If you don’t go out, surely Qi Haoran can’t show up at our house to accost you? Lay low for now and only go out to meet your friends when the matter blows over.”

Lu Jie’s face twitched as he nodded reluctantly.

As Lu Jie was rather fond of going out to meet his friends, making him stay indoors was almost like taking his life. However, when he thought of how Qi Haoran kept tormenting him so indifferently, Lu Jie could only grit his teeth and agree.

For two consecutive days, Lu Jie stayed at home and did not go out. As expected, Qi Haoran did not find trouble with him anymore. The people in the capital who had been waiting to watch the show were slightly disappointed.

Since Lu Jie did not appear outside, Qi Haoran also stayed in the Qi Residence. Even Grand Tutor Lu’s place became much quieter.

Grand Tutor Lu heaved a sigh of relief and felt that the peace had finally returned.

Just as everyone thought that the matter was over, the Emperor got someone to pack up the Eldest Prince’s things and send him to the Qi Residence. Then, he summoned the Crown Prince’s Junior Tutor, Fang Zhiyuan, and sent him to the Qi Residence to teach the Eldest Prince. For the time being, the Eldest Prince’s study companions could study at home and enter the palace to study with him again after he returned to the palace.

The Emperor’s interference was different from Qi Haoran’s trivial antics. Everyone held their breaths and waited for his next step, and even Grand Tutor Lu was worried. But seeing that the Emperor only did this one thing, everyone could not help but feel a little confused.

When an appropriate time came, Qi Xiuyuan made known what had happened at Upper Wood Park. Now, everyone finally understood why Prince Rong suddenly targeted the Lu family. It turned out that he was standing up for his son.

They did not think that Qi Haoran was going overboard. If their only son was pointed at and called a fool and a mute, they would also be furious. Moreover, Qi Haoran only made things difficult for the Lu family’s father and son based on the facts and did not target them in government affairs. Everyone could not help but admire him.

It had always been difficult to separate public and private matters. In this era, many officials’ personal grudges would spill over to official matters, causing them to go head to head in political matters. On the other hand, Qi Haoran’s handling of this private matter had won him a lot of praise. Some reclusive court academicians even had the thought of becoming officials when they heard about it.

As Prince Rong’s elder brother, Qi Xiuyuan should not be inferior to him.

Qi Haoran, who was unaware of all of this, was running around the courtyard with a child on his back. Little Treasure and Little Bear grabbed Qi Haoran’s hair tightly, and the courtyard was filled with the laughter of the two children. Little Bear pointed to the left and shouted, “That way, that way.”

Unable to see the top of his head, Qi Haoran asked, “Which way is that?”

Little Treasure patted his head and said, “Left.”

Little Bear imitated him and shouted, “Left, left.”

“Alright.” Qi Haoran ran to the left and the two children laughed happily.

Mu Yangling took out a plate of watermelons and waved at the three of them. “Come and eat the melons. Take a break first.”

When Qi Haoran ran over with the two children, Little Treasure’s face was rosy and he looked up to let Mu Yangling wipe his sweat.

Little Bear had been having crazy fun with Qi Haoran for the past two days and was determined not to let Mu Yangling wipe his sweat. He ran to Qi Haoran and asked him to serve him. With a smug glance at Mu Yangling, Qi Haoran wiped Little Bear’s face with a towel, then threw it away and said, “Alright, let’s go eat melons.”

A babyish voice replied, “Alright, let’s go eat some melons.”

Little Treasure was anxious. “Brother, wait for me.”

“I’m not waiting for Brother. I’ll go with Daddy.” Little Bear said a long sentence in one breath.

Elated, Qi Haoran educated him with a smile. “As brothers, you should love each other. You should wait for your brother.”

Little Bear tilted his head and asked, “Brother, would you wait for me too?”

Little Treasure nodded fiercely. “I’ll give you a share of everything wonderful.”

Only then was Little Bear satisfied. He carefully compared the pieces of watermelon before finally choosing a medium-sized one for Little Treasure. Then, he picked the largest piece for his father and even gave him a fawning smile. Then, he picked the smallest piece for his mother from the plate and hugged the plate containing the remaining pieces.

Stunned by this sight, Mu Yangling asked, “Son, how much do you dislike Mother? You actually gave me the smallest piece.”

Little Bear looked at the remaining two pieces of watermelon on the plate and said hesitantly, “I like it.” After which, he turned his body to block Mu Yangling’s gaze, indicating one piece was all he was willing to give his mother.

Mu Yangling looked at the bigger piece on the plate and said, “You can give me a bigger piece.”

Nearly in tears from anxiety, Little Bear protected the watermelon for a while. Seeing his mother looking at him eagerly, he could only reluctantly give her a bigger piece and watch helplessly as she ate the watermelon.

Qi Haoran’s heart ached and he handed the watermelon to him. “You can have mine.”

Mu Yangling originally thought that Little Bear would happily take it. Unexpectedly, Little Bear shook his head and pushed the watermelon to his father. “Daddy, eat. Daddy likes it.” He even moved the watermelon towards his mouth.

Then, he looked at his mother aggrievedly. “Mother doesn’t like it.”

His words were a little unclear, but Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran understood. The two of them felt as if their hearts had been hit. They felt a sour and bitter sensation, but which also carried a tinge of sweetness. Mu Yangling couldn’t help but hug Little Bear and say with a smile, “Silly boy, we don’t just have one watermelon at home. There’s a lot more. I’ll get someone to bring you a big one.”

Little Bear had to hold his favorite things in his arms. When he saw something he liked on the streets, he had to get his hands on it. He also often asked them for those shiny gems, and would get vexed if they didn’t give them to him. Not to mention the extremely doting Qi Haoran, even Mu Yangling couldn’t bear to reject him. She was often worried that they would spoil too much and cause him to become an overbearing person who didn’t know how to share. But now, it seemed that she was thinking too much. Her son was indeed a little possessive of things, but it wasn’t to the point that he didn’t know how to be filial and share them.

He had a benchmark in his heart.

Previously, when they ate watermelons at home, Mu Yangling felt that they were not sweet enough, so she didn’t enjoy eating them. However, Qi Haoran loved the cold taste and ate the remaining pieces of watermelon every time he came back.

Little Bear took this as a cue that his mother didn’t eating watermelons, which was why he had given her a small piece. On the other hand, his father loved watermelon, so he gave him the largest piece. Although he craved watermelon, he didn’t want to take his father’s share.

Tears flashed across Qi Haoran’s eyes. With his eyes lowered, he kissed his son’s forehead. He said with a smile in a low voice, “You’re really my good son.”

Little Bear knew that kissing meant liking him, so he raised his head and kissed his father’s cheek.

Little Treasure watched from the side, confusion flashing across his eyes. When the brothers were alone, Little Treasure asked Little Bear, “Why did you kiss Uncle?”

Little Bear replied matter-of-factly, “If you like someone, you have to kiss them.”

Little Treasure lowered his head and stood at the side in silence. When Little Bear saw this, he thought that he was sad that no one had kissed him, so he went forward, hugged his head, and kissed his forehead. Then, he wiped his mouth and said, “Brother, I like you.”

Little Treasure immediately grinned widely.
