LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 697
Chapter 697: Extra Limbs (7)
The Wei family was chaotic again. Wei Pi wanted to beat his son, but he raised his hand and remembered the letter he wrote to Uncle Ping, and finally he endured it.
While gnashing his teeth in anger, he pretended to be gentle and asked him why he ran away from home, how he ran away from home, and where and how he spent his time.
Although Wei Pi thinks he is gentle, Wei Xiang shook involuntarily when he looked at his distorted father, and then sold Pingping Lele with no sense of loyalty.
I didn’t expect that this incident also involved Gu Jingyun’s two sons, and the two children who were two months younger than their own sons not only played the role of counselors, but also personally took the initiative to have his sons packed and carried to the front yard.
The one who carried the box was a servant of the Wei House, and the few straw bags didn’t find anything unusual. Wei Pi was both aggrieved and angry.
But the other party is not only high and powerful, but his uncle should not be underestimated. Now their family lives in Qin Mansion.
Wei Pi was so cowardly that he didn’t dare to ask questions, so he could only go to his eldest brother. Who made his eldest brother and Gu Jingyun senior brothers, and he was more kissable to Gu Jingyun than himself?
Wei Cong is not here, and he doesn’t know when he will be back, so Wei Pi can only entrust this matter to Grandma Wei. He has only one meaning, does Gu Jingyun know what Gu Jingyun’s two sons did?
Okay, after explaining the matter, everyone’s eyes returned to Pingping and Lele. The two children knelt down on the blanket in dejection, noticing that everyone’s eyes could not help but straighten their backs slightly.
He Zipei was embarrassed. She also felt that the two children were too much. They hid people in boxes. If something went wrong in the middle, they might die. Not only should they be punished, but they should be punished severely!
But she couldn’t bear to see their uneasy appearance, sweating on their foreheads. She looked at Grandma Wei, then at Baolu, and finally closed her eyes, so she didn’t bother.
“It’s over!” Seeing this, Pingping He Lele couldn’t help moving his butt, and secretly aimed at his mother.
Li Baolu looked at them seriously and said nothing. Grandma Wei got up and said, “Brother and sister, it’s getting late, I’ll go home first.”
She took Li Baolu’s hand and said in a low voice, “Although the two children have done something wrong, at least their hearts are good, and the result is not bad. You hit hard enough just now. Let me tell my second uncle, Let this be over.”
Li Baolu shook her head slightly, “Thank you, Sister-in-law, I will personally come to the door and tell Second Master Wei about this.”
Grandma Wei was stunned for a moment. Wei Pi asked her to mediate the matter to help the Gu family go down the stairs. Why did Baolu go there in person?
Li Baolu didn’t notice her expression, so she sent the person to the second gate before returning to the flower hall.
The two children were still kneeling honestly. Li Baolu stood behind them and watched for a while, and finally raised her head and said to He Zipei, “Auntie, you go to rest first.”
He Zipei hesitated for a while, but got up and left. The corners of his mouth pursed tightly without saying a word. She knew that repetition was the worst thing in educating children, and it was even more forbidden for adults to deal with disagreements. Although she always prevented Qing and Chunxi from physically punishing children, it was under unethical conditions.
He Zipei pursed his lips about what the two children committed this time, and couldn’t help thinking: Is it really because Junde and I dote on them too much?
Li Baolu circled them twice before sitting down at the top, leaning his head and looking at them without saying a word.
But this put the most pressure on the two children. The two of them couldn’t help sweating on their foreheads, and looked at their mother more anxiously.
Li Baolu just stared at them quietly, the last two children were defeated and looked away with a guilty conscience.
Li Baolu sat for half an hour. It was the first time for the two children to kneel for so long. In addition to the psychological pressure, the two of them felt like a mountain was on their backs, and their backs almost bent.
But there is a little insistence in the heart of the two of them. They feel that they did nothing wrong. It is a fact that Brother Xiang is having a hard time in Weifu, and he is not happy at all. What’s wrong with leaving?
Li Baolu is also thinking about this question, are the two children really wrong? Where is your fault? Where can she teach them?
But thinking about it again, apart from using the wrong method, she was reluctant to admit that the two children had other faults in the bottom of her heart.
Because it was her, she might also try her best to help Weixiang, in order to achieve the wishes of friends, all the consequences are not in their consideration. Because he is only five years old, he is not old enough to consider the consequences.
The method is wrong because they are young and inexperienced. But even in this way, the three of them still deceived so many adults, and she also believed that she couldn’t think of such a series of methods when she was so old.
But she was still angry.
Li Baolu looked at the two who were carefully moving their knees and asked, “Is it hard?”
Pingping He Lele replied in a low voice, and Li Baolu said quietly: “I asked about the size of the box, a child as big as you can’t lie flat at all, so he can only curl up on his side, you only kneel for less than an hour before you die. I feel uncomfortable. I used to sit in a spacious carriage, and I had to stop and do some activities after only half a day, otherwise not only would my waist and legs hurt, but I would also be irritable. But brother Xiang spent a day and a night in that box alone.”
Pingping Lele was taken aback.
“He may be so obsessed with leaving the Weifu that he can endure the pain, but,” Li Baolu looked at them and said, “This is not the kind of pain a child of his age should endure.”
“However, this is not what makes me the most angry. Do you know how dangerous it is to be locked in a box alone?” Li Baolu said softly: “If the iron pieces you press on the mouth of the box don’t work, the box is still tightly closed. He might not be able to push the opening of the box with the rope tightened.”
“He screamed, but the sound of the wheels of the wheel, the sound of horses’ hoofs, and even the sound of the wind blowing leaves might cover up his cry for help; maybe the servants of the Heike family changed the box for one reason or another. The location made him buried under layers of boxes; more likely, someone in the Heike family brought personal belongings and piled some things on the boxes…”
Pingping and Lele turned pale with fright.
Li Baolu squatted in front of them, held their hands and said softly: “You guys are young, we adults will forgive you when you are doing a lot of things without causing great harm, but my mother doesn’t want you to indulge yourselves because of this. Don’t think about the consequences. It’s luck that Brother Xiang didn’t have an accident this time, and you owe your friends an apology.”
Pingping and Lele lowered his head.
Li Baolu saw the annoyance on their faces, so she pulled them up and sighed: “I wanted to beat you all again…”
Pingping and Lele raised her head with tears in her eyes, and hugged her by one arm and said, “Mother, beat up if you want, we won’t cry this time.”
Li Baolu looked down at them with regret on her face, she thought too, but her hand hurt.
When Gu Jingyun returned home, the two sons were already sitting on the thick cushions and writing large characters. Their mother didn’t beat them. In order to express their sincere remorse, they had to punish themselves for writing big characters, hoping that their father would stop punishing them for being so obedient.
However, this is impossible. After drinking tea, Gu Jingyun also learned what happened from Bao Lu. He raised his eyes and glanced at his two sons lightly, and said, “Just punish them not to go out for a month.”
“Don’t-” Pingping He Lele dropped the pen and rushed up to hug their father’s leg, crying, “Father, hit us, or you can kick us, punish us for reading and writing, we all Punishment.”
Gu Jingyun smiled, reached out and touched their faces and said, “That’s all a small mistake. This time, you will be fined not to go out for a month.”
Pingping and Lele were about to cry, struggling to ask, “Can we go out on the Dragon Boat Festival?”
“If it happens to be within a month, no!”
“Father, you are so unreasonable,” Pingping couldn’t help jumping up and said, “You promised us before that you would take us to watch the dragon boat race up close.”
“Yeah, I was waiting for you at the door that day, as long as you can come out.”
“You’re grounded, how can we go out?” Lele felt that his father was really making trouble.
Gu Jingyun looked at them with a half-smile and asked, “If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you knew that today, why should you be in the first place?”
Pingping and Lele couldn’t help crying. They couldn’t go out on the Dragon Boat Festival. What’s the point of life?
Gu Jingyun let them cry, calmly watching while drinking tea, Li Baolu propped her head up and watched, actually a little gloating.
The two children were about to roll, but there was no sign of softening in their parents’ expressions, so they could only bear the bitter fruit with tears.
They didn’t dare to complain to their uncle (grandfather), because they had a faint feeling in their hearts, they really did, and their father would definitely let them live in dire straits for a long time.
It seems that they really can’t get out of the Dragon Boat Festival. The two children left with their heads drooping in love, and they didn’t have the heart to write and pretend to be well-behaved.
Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth when he saw this, waved the hearts waiting by the side to follow the two, and sent them to the main room.
Hong Tao hurriedly chased after the two young masters with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Gu Jingyun then looked at Bao Lu, raised his eyebrows and asked, “What, your hand hurts?”
“No!”
Gu Jingyun was funny, he turned around and went into the inner room and took out a bottle of medicinal wine. He sat down on the couch with his legs crossed, and waved to her, “Come here, I’ll rub it for you.”
Li Baolu’s face was red and she stretched out her hand to him.
Gu Jingyun smiled while helping her knead: “Master and his old man must not know about this, or he will definitely regret accepting such an apprentice as you.”
Li Baolu rolled her eyes and said, “They are my sons, not my enemies. Do I still need internal strength to beat them?”
“Then you don’t have to seal your internal power.”
“At that time, my anger came up immediately, and the sticks made me more and more angry, so I could only use the palm of my hand, but I was really afraid that one could not control the use of internal force, so it was sealed. Where did I expect to get sore hands?”
Li Baolu said this for a while, and whispered: “I just finished beating them, so it’s not good to look at their butts. You can go and see if it’s serious in a while, my hand hurts when I beat them…”
Seeing her distressed appearance, Gu Jingyun couldn’t help secretly exerting force, and when she saw her “hiss” in pain, he eased his efforts.
