Chapter 1829 – Beautiful Disaster (Part 2)
In an instant, the contrasting cries of two children echoed outside the hall, startling Wei Ci, who had come to give a lesson.
“What happened?”
As soon as Wei Ci approached, the Eldest Princess, who had just been loudly wailing and overpowering the Second Young Master, immediately silenced and rushed toward him.
Unfortunately, she could only manage short phrases and repeated words, and was unable to accurately convey that someone was trying to snatch her sister away, her small face flushed with urgency.
Wei Ci looked up and saw an unfamiliar boy in the hall, his expression immediately turning serious.
“Who is this child?”
The Lady Official replied, “It’s the Second Young Master of the Feng family.”
Wei Ci frowned.
“Second Young Master Feng? Feng You? What is he doing here?”
His gaze fell on the chubby little dumpling slowly crawling toward the Second Princess, his calm eyes hinting at a brewing storm.
Sensing it, the little guy shrank his shoulders, trying to bury himself in the Second Princess’s arms like an ostrich.
However, dressed warmly and plump, the two-year-old was not able to hide behind the Second Princess.
“How did he end up here?”
The Lady Official remarked with a strange expression, “Today, for some unknown reason, the Second Princess insisted on going out to the front hall. As soon as she stepped out, she found the dusty and disheveled Second Young Master Feng at the street corner. If it weren’t for the Changsheng pendant around his neck identifying him, I wouldn’t have known who he was. It seems the Second Princess found him interesting and brought him back. When the Eldest Princess returned, she probably suspected Second Young Master Feng was a bad person, and that’s how the fuss started.”
Wei Ci lowered his eyes and asked, “Have we sent someone to notify the Feng residence?”
The Lady Official answered, “Yes, someone has gone. It turns out the Feng residence is indeed missing the Second Young Master.”
The servant who was supposed to pick up the child was waiting in a small room off to the side, yet the Second Young Master refused to let him go.
Wei Ci scoffed, “For such a large estate, they can’t even keep track of a two-year-old child. What incompetence!”
Hearing the word “incompetence,” the Lady Official was taken aback.
She wouldn’t be surprised to hear that from anyone else, except for Wei Ci.
Wei Ci was notoriously easygoing, well-known for his gentlemanly demeanor; when had he ever said something like that?
The Second Young Master seemed to sense something, pointing at Second Young Master Feng, declaring, “Mine!”
The Eldest Princess looked even more upset; the tears she’d just managed to stop flowed down her cheeks again.
The Second Young Master came over, patted her head, and comforted her like the scoundrel he was, saying, “You are mine too!”
The Eldest Princess’s tears were like a faucet turned on—just a twist and they flowed freely.
She hugged the Second Young Master tightly and bared her teeth at the now-cowering Second Young Master Feng, tilting her chin slightly, as if to boast.
“Look! This is my sister!”
Wei Ci watched this scene, his head pounding with frustration, the veins on his forehead bulging.
His own second daughter was troublesome, and the Second Young Master Feng was just as much of a headache.
The distance from the Feng residence to here was four streets; how did a two-year-old make it here?
Did he roll over?
Surprisingly, he actually did roll and crawl here, grabbing a ride on a bus at some point.
“Let’s start class!”
Today’s lesson was a bit chaotic.
Second Young Master Feng clung desperately to the Second Princess, determined to share the same seating mat with her.
The Eldest Princess, seeing this, demanded her own spot as well.
Being possessive by nature, she directly pulled the Second Princess into her embrace, threatening with bared teeth and fists if Second Young Master Feng dared to come close.
The three children turned into a ruckus, and nobody cared about what Wei Ci was teaching today.
As the so-called “beautiful disaster” the two little rascals were fighting over, the Second Princess wore a look of utter resignation.
Honestly, these two little tots were indeed adorable, but their behavior was terribly disruptive; they simply looked most pleasant when they were being good.
Thus, she patted Second Young Master Feng’s head, and the boy who had just been trying to resist immediately became obedient.
“Stop making a fuss. It’s class time.”
The Eldest Princess shot a glare at the feigning obedient Second Young Master Feng and cuddled up close to her sister, listening to the class together.
Unusually, the Eldest Princess didn’t doze off until Wei Ci finished teaching; instead, she continuously guarded against Second Young Master Feng with her fierce little eyes.
Throughout it all, Second Young Master Feng maintained an innocent, pure, and compliant expression.
Wei Ci waved away the surrounding maids and servants, and the Lady Official also sat outside the hall waiting.
Wei Ci coldly asked, “Is Feng Zhen aware?”
Second Young Master Feng blinked, and the Second Princess sat up straight, while the Eldest Princess remained her usual vigilant self.
Wei Ci: “…”
Not a single one responded. Was he performing a solo act here?
After a long pause, the Second Princess finally shifted her bottom, adjusting to a more comfortable sitting position.
“He, is, mine…”
The Second Princess stared directly into Wei Ci’s eyes. Although her speech was not fluent, her enunciation was very clear.
Wei Ci clenched the book in his hand.
The Second Princess swallowed hard. Speaking long sentences often made her drool, so she paused in the middle to inhale, to avoid embarrassment.
“…child!”
Did you hear that?
Her precious little brother!
Meanwhile, the seemingly innocent Second Young Master Feng puffed out his chest, but as he tilted back too far, his balance faltered, and he fell backward, rolling twice.
After a while, Wei Ci sighed and asked, “Is there any danger?”
The Second Princess replied, “My person!”
My person, there’s no danger!
Wei Ci then asked, “Does the Lord know?”
The Second Princess nodded.
Wei Ci concluded, “Very well, let him come every day to keep the princess company.”
Speaking of which, his life has indeed been full of ups and downs—he was reborn, had a wife who was an Emperor in his past life, his eldest daughter was also the Emperor, and his second son even played at staging a coup. In this life, his wife was still the Emperor, and the eldest daughter would eventually become the next Emperor; the secret of the second daughter was tucked away, while Yan You’s CP wasn’t the original. Hearing the Second Princess’s affirmative answer, Wei Ci’s first reaction was unexpectedly relief?
Feng You switched cores; his former eldest daughter wouldn’t have to be cuckolded anymore:з
What a joy!
The Yan You CP was also stable and on the rise… just kidding!
Though he knew that the current “Jiang Yan” couldn’t truly be called his daughter, she did share his blood, so counted as half.
He had only kept watch over this half-daughter for a short while, yet Feng You’s official match still haunted him endlessly.
Don’t think you can change your core and stop being called Feng You!
“Teacher?”
Seeing Wei Ci’s expression turn sour, the Second Princess couldn’t help but ask.
If something happened to Wei Ci, Jiang Pengji would chop him into ten or eight pieces upon her return.
:з
“Nothing, my heart just aches a bit.”
He was merely reminded of the psychological shadows Feng You had left on him in his past life.
Wei Ci waved his hand, causing Second Young Master Feng to shiver, afraid, he shrank his shoulders, and felt the urge to hide behind the Second Princess.
The Second Princess declared, “He’s very cute.”
Wei Ci: “…”
He couldn’t see it; all he felt was he looked repulsive.
The Second Princess patted Second Young Master Feng’s head, giving him a look.
Second Young Master Feng could only pitifully walk over to Wei Ci’s side, tucking his head down and remaining silent.
“He wants to stay with the teacher for a while.”
It was about to get intense; protect my side character who’s utterly useless.
Otherwise, if the enemy takes out the useless character for first blood, our main force would collapse:з
Wei Ci, confused, looked down, locking eyes with Second Young Master Feng.
The shy little fellow gingerly nodded, trying to muster some courage.
“What’s going on?” Wei Ci asked.
The Second Princess gently stroked the Eldest Princess’s head, marveling at the softness of her hair.
“It’s starting,” the Second Princess said meaningfully. “He can protect you.”
Wei Ci: “…”
Suddenly, he reached out, catching Second Young Master Feng by the back of his neck.
The innocent-looking Second Young Master Feng widened his big, innocent eyes: “…”
Wei Ci was lifted up, questioning if he had heard wrong.
“He’s going to protect me?”
Daily existential crisis jpg.
All the conspiracy theories and analyses Wei Ci had conducted over the past few days now seemed to lead to such a ridiculous start.
