Chapter 1238: Coincidence
Little An felt aggrieved. Seeing that Fourth Uncle had submitted to his father’s tyranny, he immediately felt that there was no hope in life. He could only let out a few dry cries, hoping that someone would save him.
Mu Yangling and Little Madam Xia rushed over after hearing the news. However, when they saw the furious Fan Zijin, the two of them cowered like Qi Haoran.
The three adults stood at the side and watched as Fan Zijin sent the five children into the ancestral hall to kneel as punishment. "Think about what you did wrong. Only come out when you realize your mistake!"
Qi Haoran met the children’s pitiful gazes and said meekly, "Aren’t we going to the palace to celebrate tomorrow..."
Fan Zijin said faintly, "I’m not stopping them from going. But if they go with injuries, it won’t be my fault."
Qi Haoran immediately shut his mouth. Mu Yangling looked at the five children and sighed. "This is a classic case of extreme joy turning into sorrow."
The dazed children were quickly escorted to kneel outside the ancestral hall.
As the five children knelt together, they reflected upon themselves. After looking around, Tiger Head asked softly, "Yes, we shouldn’t run around with our younger brothers on our shoulders. But what does this have to do with Brother Little An?"
Little An pouted.
Little Lion sighed and said maturely, "Well, it’s because we listen to Brother Little An usually. Besides, he’s the oldest, so Second Uncle blames him for not dissuading us."
