Reborn Lady - Chapter 347
Ba Lang objected, “He hasn’t done what we agreed on yet!”
Xiao Xun replied, “Are you as strong as him? If he doesn’t want to carry you, what can you do?”
Ba Lang pursed his lips, staring at Liu Lang, who was still making faces there, his small chest bulging.
Xiao Xun pulled him to the side of their bedding and said while spreading the quilt, “He didn’t keep his promise. You don’t need to trust him anymore, or you should practice martial arts well. When you are stronger than him, he will respect it.”
Ba Lang snorted and got into bed angrily.
Xiao Xun looked at Liu Lang and lay down too.
Liu Lang eyed the quilts of the two of them and suddenly came over, intending to lie in Xiao Heng’s quilt and sleep next to Xiao Xun.
Seeing his movements, Xiao Xun sat up and covered his brother’s quilt, not allowing Liu Lang to move.
He sullenly looked at Liu Lang with cold eyes.
At that moment, Liu Lang seemed to see Xiao Heng.
“What’s wrong with sleeping together?” Liu Lang muttered.
Xiao Xun replied sternly, “You can sleep anywhere else; this belongs to Fifth Brother.”
Remembering Xiao Xun’s strength when he was pulling him, Liu Lang didn’t dare to confront him head-on. He hummed and went back to his bed.
Ba Lang observed this, and when Xiao Xun lay down again, he whispered to him, “You are so powerful; Sixth Brother was afraid of you.”
Hearing his words, Xiao Xun was startled. Was Liu Lang afraid of him?
However, as he looked at Ba Lang’s big eyes filled with admiration, he smiled.
After finishing their studies in the afternoon, Liu Lang went back to the East Hall, and Xiao Xun and Ba Lang went out together.
Ba Lang got into the carriage first, then poked his head out of the window and waved to Xiao Xun.
Xiao Xun looked at Ba Lang’s smiling face and thought to himself, even Ba Lang could come to the palace alone, so surely he, as an elder brother, could do the same.
Sitting in the carriage, Xiao Xun opened the book and recited silently as before.
Back at the Shu Mansion, Yin Hui estimated the time and went to the gate. After a while of waiting, she saw the carriage.
“Mother!” Xiao Xun exclaimed happily upon seeing his mother coming out to pick him up.
Yin Hui helped her son out of the carriage with a smile, giving him a once-over, but found nothing amiss. As they walked, she inquired about his day and learned about what happened between Liu Lang and Ba Lang at noon.
Yin Hui was surprised by Xiao Xun’s handling of the situation. He had intervened to separate Ba Lang from Liu Lang but hadn’t escalated the confrontation further. He not only protected his younger brother but also avoided embarrassing Liu Lang too much.
However, when it came to Liu Lang wanting to sleep on Xiao Heng’s quilt, Xiao Xun remained firm.
“If Liu Lang insists on sleeping on your brother’s quilt, what will you do?” Yin Hui asked softly.
Xiao Xun made a determined expression and replied, “I will stop him. He can’t beat me.”
Yin Hui smiled proudly and remarked, “Our Xiao Xun is truly remarkable!”
She had worried that Xiao Xun might become meek and easily bullied, but instead, she found him to be a young man with a strong backbone and the courage to stand up for what was right.
When Wei Luo returned in the evening, Yin Hui shared the matter with him with a smile.
Wei Luo was also surprised and pleased. His mood lifted, and when he checked Xiao Xun’s homework after dinner, his expression was naturally a bit gentler than usual.
Facing his father alone for the first time, Xiao Xun was inevitably nervous. Whenever he got stuck, he looked at his father anxiously. Seeing that his father didn’t frown but smiled at him, Xiao Xun gradually relaxed.
At the XiangMansion, as soon as Wei Xuan returned, Ba Lang rushed to him and complained about Liu Lang.
When Wei Xuan glanced at Fu Shan, she snorted.
In the past, Ba Lang had also gotten into fights with several cousins due to his lack of strength. Fu Shan had taught her son to be ruthless, advising him to speak up if he couldn’t win, like a little wolf cub on the grassland not afraid to defend himself against bullies. Wei Xuan had overheard this teaching and reprimanded Fu Shan, instructing her not to impart such lessons if she couldn’t teach her children properly. Hence, that day, when Ba Lang complained to her, Fu Shan instructed her son to wait for his father to come back and hear what he had to say.
For the time being, Wei Xuan ignored his wife and focused on questioning his son about the specific situation at that time.
Ba Lang recounted the incident precisely.
Wei Yan agreed with Xiao Xun’s perspective, believing that individuals who couldn’t be trusted shouldn’t interact with each other casually. Alternatively, if one trained well in martial arts, their fists would be stronger than their opponents, making them less susceptible to cheating. Wei Xuan reiterated this wisdom to his son.
Ba Lang took heed of his father’s words.
Wei Xuan pinched his son’s chubby arms and snorted, “Look at your body. Starting tomorrow, when you wake up in the morning, head to the martial arts field and run two laps.”
Ba Lang grimaced at the prospect.
Wei Xuan added, “I’ll run with you.”
As a general, he didn’t want to raise a child who would turn out like his eldest or second brother.
Thus, the matter of disciplining his son was settled.
That night, Wei Xuan spoke to Fu Shan privately, “Find an opportunity to thank the Third Sister-in-law and then ask her to remind Qi Lang to take care of Ba Lang.” He expressed concern that Ba Lang might be bullied while in the palace.
Fu Shan replied confidently, “I know, but depending on others is worse than relying on oneself. I will also teach Ba Lang how to wrestle with others.”
Wei Xuan raised his eyebrows curiously. “Can you wrestle?”
Fu Shan nodded assuredly. “Of course. In our upbringing, boys and girls are raised together from a young age. Boys wrestle, and girls wrestle too.”
In Wei Xiao’s mind, a vivid image of a seven or eight-year-old Fu Shan aggressively pinning a boy to the ground surfaced.
She could teach him wrestling, but even biting was fine.
