Reborn Lady - Chapter 183

The white-hoofed crow was guided to the martial arts training ground by Chang Feng. Wei Luo mounted the horse first and then asked Chang Feng to lift Xiao Heng onto it. Chang Feng held Xiao Heng in one hand and the reins in the other, riding the horse slowly.

Perched on the high saddle, Xiao Heng sat obediently. It wasn’t until the white-hoofed crow walked halfway around the training ground that he tentatively touched the reins in his father’s hand.

Wei Luo handed the reins to his son.

Xiao Heng tugged and stared at the end of the rein with big eyes, but his strength was too weak for the white-hoofed crow to notice, so nothing happened naturally.

“Dad, I want it to run,” Xiao Heng raised his head and said.

Wei Luo replied, “Okay, but we’ll go back after running a lap.”

Xiao Heng agreed, “Okay!”

Wei Luo hugged him and let the white-hoofed crow run. The setting sun elongated the shadow of the slender legs of the white-hoofed crow, while Xiao Heng’s small shadow was completely blocked by Wei Luo, only appearing briefly when turning a corner.

At the end of a lap, the sun was about to set. Wei Luo dismounted, still holding Xiao Heng, and led him back.

On the way, he remembered something and asked unhappily, “Dad, I’m I sent to the studying hall because Mother only likes Qi Lang?”

Wei Luo frowned, “No, who told you that?”

Xiao Heng replied, “Third Brother.”

Wei Luo silently noted San Lang’s words in his memory and said, “He is talking nonsense. Other than me, your mother, and grandfather, other people may lie to you, so you have to learn to judge the truth by yourself.”

Xiao Heng asked, “How to judge?”

Wei Luo advised, “Look with your eyes and listen with your ears. Just like San Lang said that your mother doesn’t like you anymore, which is a lie. She gives you braised pork, do you think she doesn’t like you?”

Xiao Heng smiled, “Yes, Mother came to pick me up, Sang Lang lied!”

Wei Luo rubbed his son’s head.

When the father and son returned to Chengxin Hall, Yin Hui was sitting on the couch, teasing Xiao Xun. Although Xiao Xun was only over a month old, he responded.

“Mother, I’m back!” Xiao Heng took off his shoes, climbed up, looked at his younger brother, and sat down on his mother’s lap.

Yin Hui put her arms around the little guy and kissed him.

Xiao Heng asked quietly, “Mother, do you like me more or Qi Lang?”

Yin Hui smiled and said, “I like both; you are both my children.”

Xiao Heng twisted, “Choose one.”

Yin Hui glanced at Wei Luo, who was standing not far away and observing their conversation, thought for a while, pointed to the tree outside the window, and said, “Xiao Heng, I am like that pagoda tree. You and your brother are the branches that grow on my body. It will hurt whoever is taken away, so I like you both equally.”

Xiao Heng looked at the tree and said, “But some branches are long, and some are short.”

Yin Hui said with a smile, “That’s because some branches grow out first, and some branches grow out later. The longer ones are the elder brothers, and the shorter ones are the younger brothers and sisters.”

“If Xiao Heng and I are branches, what is dad?”

Yin Hui looked at Wei Luo again.

After taking a sip of tea, Wei Luo turned his gaze over, with a cold look on his face. He was like a master waiting for a student to answer a question; he should answer correctly and be criticized by him if he answers wrong.

Fortunately, Yin Hui was a tactful “student,” knowing what to say would satisfy him, the “master,” and said with a smile, “Dad is the earth and has to hold us firmly, so we won’t be blown down by the wind.”

Xiao Heng turned his head and said worriedly, “What if someone comes to chop us?”

Yin Hui: “Grandfather will protect us. Grandfather is the sky. If someone comes to chop us, grandfather will strike him with lightning.”

Xiao Heng was not worried anymore.

Wei Luo: “Okay, let’s eat dinner.”

His son had eaten braised pork in advance, but he was busy in the guardhouse for half a day and was still hungry.

Dinner was set up quickly. Xiao Heng ate another bowl of rice. After the meal, he recited a section of the “The Three Classics” for his father before going back to rest.

Yin Hui and Wei Luo entered the inner room.

After lying down, Yin Hui asked him, “Will you drop Xiao Heng tomorrow morning?”

Wei Luo thought about it and said, “Yes, I’ll drop him for a few more days, and wait for him to get used to it.”

Yin Hui smiled and said, “Okay, I will pick him up for a few days, and the other children have brothers and sisters in the same studying hall. Xiao Heng is the only one alone. When I went to pick him up today, the little guy cried when he saw me.”

It was his first day of studying. Both were all thinking about it. Wei Luo came to Yin Hui’s side, told her what San Lang said, and reminded her, “Be careful, don’t just take care of Xiao Xun and ignore Xiao Heng.”

Yin Hui said angrily, “San Lang is good at everything else, but he likes to irritate his younger brothers with words. This is not like the elder sister-in-law, but like the second sister-in-law.” 

Wei Luo snorted, “Maybe the second sister-in-law acts open-minded in front of the children; he got fascinated by it and learned it. If the second sister-in-law comes over in the future, you can ask the wet nurse to take Xiao Heng and Xiao Xun to play elsewhere.”

Yin Hui looked at his stern eyebrows, thinking about how much effort she had to make to make the two children be more like her and not like Wei Luo.

Seeing her still distracted, Wei Luo stretched out his hand.

He seemed to be in a good mood. He had just gone riding with his son in the evening and wanted to ride with her again.

Yin Hui was too lazy to bother.

Wei Luo whispered in her ear, “You said it yourself, a wife is a tree, and a husband is her earth.”

Suddenly, Yin Hui felt a fire burning from her ear, spreading all the way to her whole body, and then he pinched her, making her say, “What does that mean?”

Wei Luo only pulled her up.

The next morning, the couple went out with Xiao Heng, and all three members of the family took a look at the tree in the courtyard.

Yin Hui didn’t know what the father and son were thinking. She just wanted to call someone over, cut down the tree, and then plant Wei Luo in it.

Wei Luo dropped off Xiao Heng for two consecutive days, while Yin Hui picked up Xiao Heng for two consecutive days, and on the third day, Ji Xianxian came to the door.
