Chapter 1191: Fan Zijin’s Education
"Do you think everyone is like your son?" Mu Yangling chided him. "Go outside and ask around. Who can so quickly guess that these pranks were designed by a group of children? Only the few of us who are used to engaging in a battle of wits with them can tell at a glance."
This was an era where fathers were strict and sons were filial. No matter how mischievous the children were, they would not dare to tease their biological uncle.
Only their family had always indulged their children.
Qi Haoran immediately pushed the blame away. "That’s because you spoiled them!"
"Don’t push the blame on me. I’m still considered a strict mother. On the other hand, are you a strict father or a kind father?"
"It’s not that I didn’t want to hit them with a stick, but you’ve never allowed me to do that. Why are you always stopping me?"
"I’m giving you face. You can’t even bear to kick the children’s butt and here you are, talking about hitting them with a stick? If you retract your leg after raising it, you can still say that your leg is short and your aim is not accurate enough. But if you raise the stick and retract it without hitting them, let’s see how the kids will mock you."
When Spring heard the couple bickering outside the house again, she hurriedly coughed lightly and raised her voice. "Your Highnesses, His Highness Prince An is here. He’s going to fetch the young masters to stay at his place for a few days. Shall I go and pack their things now?"
Qi Haoran turned to Mu Yangling and said, "Look, I said that Bowen has become stupid. Even Zijin, who is two streets away, knows the inside story and specially came to fetch them to avoid trouble. Meanwhile, Bowen only just realized it."
Mu Yangling said, "... Your children are naughty and you forbid the children of the Mu family to be obedient? Considering Bowen has been sensible and obedient since he was young, how could he have thought that Tiger Head and the rest did it on purpose?"
