Having called her that for so long, she felt quite helpless and no longer had the desire to correct them.
With Little Baby, always cute and innocent, she genuinely hoped that he would be the first one to call her Sister Qingluo.
“Xuan’er, be good, call her Sister Qingluo.”
She pinched a small piece of dried sweet potato, tempting Little Baby, “Call her Sister Qingluo, and she will give you dried sweet potato.”
“La, La, Sister.”
Little Baby was too young to pronounce the words clearly, the trembling sounds he made had a soft, milky voice that made people’s hearts tremble. “Not La La, follow your sister, Qing, Luo, Qing, Luo.”
Su Qingluo playfully pinched Little Baby’s tender cheeks, continuing to shake the dried sweet potato, tirelessly teaching him.
Helpless, Little Baby couldn’t learn it right away and could only repeatedly make the same sounds.
“Qing, Qing. Repeat after your sister, green, green grass.”
Su Qingluo didn’t want to give up and patiently taught him over and over again.
“Eat, eat…”
Little Baby stared eagerly at the dried sweet potato. Noticing that his sister kept holding it without putting it in his mouth, he pouted and expressed his protest.
“Ah, you only know how to eat, you little glutton.”
Su Qingluo was amused by his silly and cute expression, pinched his cheeks again, and stuffed the dried sweet potato into his mouth.
“Qingqing, Sister.”
As if a light had been switched on, after eating the dried sweet potato, Little Baby clearly uttered the word Qing.
“Oh my, my good Xuan’er, Sister really likes you.”
Su Qingluo was overjoyed, affectionately cradling his chubby cheeks and rubbing them eagerly.
“Hee hee.”
Little Baby seemed to enjoy her touch, giggling nonstop.
“Good baby, call her Qingluo, connecting Qing and Luo.”
Su Qingluo rode on the momentum, and while Little Baby was happy, she picked up another piece of dried sweet potato and continued her instruction.
“Qingqing, Luoluo.”
Little Baby’s cute, milky voice echoed in the quiet, peaceful night.
“Master, as you expected, someone tried to assassinate that woman. There were three waves in one night, and more than a dozen officers from the county government were injured while protecting her. Fortunately, they were in the medical hall, and the timely treatment by the physician saved their lives.”
While two little ones were playing happily, the situation at the medical hall was tense and dangerous. Little Kingfisher had been monitoring the assassins’ movements and promptly relayed the message to its master.
“What about the child the County Magistrate found? Was he injured?”
Su Qingluo’s heart tightened, losing the mood to play with Little Baby. She picked him up from the bed, patting and coaxing him to sleep.
“No, with this divine beast baby protecting him, no one can hurt him.”
Little Kingfisher held its head high with pride, and also brought back another shocking piece of news.
“Master, guess whose child the County Magistrate found?”
“I was just about to ask you.”
Su Qingluo’s eyes dimmed, involuntarily worrying about the child.
“It’s Mingshui County Magistrate’s own child.”
Little Kingfisher casually dropped a bombshell: “He is a ruthless man, willing to sacrifice his own child to protect his position.”
“His son?”
Su Qingluo’s breath caught, her eyes flickering with a momentary confusion.
She never expected that the Mingshui County Magistrate would be willing to risk his own child’s life.
“It’s a child born to his concubine, a child who has never received much affection from him, and in a critical moment, has been abandoned by his cruel father as a means to further his own career.’
Little Kingfisher had witnessed the whole scene of the Magistrate snatching the child from his concubine’s hands and was deeply disgusted by his ruthlessness.
Su Qingluo sighed, “He wants to give up his own child in exchange to free himself from his previous wrongdoing..”
