Chapter 231 “Against a Common Enemy”

“Auntie Xiao Wan, wouldn’t Baddie Father be sad if you say it like that?” From those blinking eyes, a hint of compassion could be seen in the little steam bun’s face.

“As if he would,” Di Xiao Wan refutes the claim outright. “My old bro always say I’m annoying and stupid. Not only that, he would always go on and on about marrying me off early so he won’t have to deal with me so often. As if I would want to see him. No way! State Teacher is so much kinder than he is.”

In honest truth, Di Xiao Wan really don’t know what sort of sins she’s committed to have such a brother. For that reason alone, she’s been suppressed for many years under that tyrannical rule.

“Little Xiachen, let’s go home, your mother is waiting for us.” Ignoring the conversation, Chu Yi Yi (Holy Land Princess) led the way by holding the baby boy’s hand.

Naturally, Di Xiao Wan wouldn’t just ignore this and continued to follow them from behind in silence.

“Why are you following me?” Chu Yi Yi shot her head around to glare at the unwanted tagger.

“Of course to go home,” she pricked her brow, unsure why the need for the question.

Now its Chu Yi Yi’s turn to be stumped. She really didn’t know whether to be angry or to laugh. “That is our home, your home is over at the Cang Manor. I will have someone send you over there.”

“Bai Yan is my sister-in-law and Xiachen is my nephew, so of course their home is my home. How can I be a hinder to you when I’m going home?”

No other way, that’s what happens when Xiachen was her nephew. Just that connection alone gives her the right to tag along.

“This…” Unable to grasp onto the situation, Lan Xiaoyan (girl cousin) weakly chimed in, “Weren’t we doing very well just now, why are you two quarreling all of a sudden?”

These two were clearly doing so well, why are they trending towards an open brawl?

“That’s what happens when she tries to snatch away my nephew,” Di Xiao Wan stabs her fists against her hip to emphasize her point, “My little nephew is mine, as well as my sister-in-law! I won’t give either of them up to you!”

“Hoho, you want to fight eh? Alright, come on, let’s go!”

Chu Yi Yi has had it now. Letting go of the baby boy’s hand, she knocks her chin up in preparation for the fight.

Its likely safe to assume the most clueless one here had to be Lan Xiaoyun. Scratching her head anxiously, the girl’s eyes suddenly lit up at an idea: “Yi Yi, Miss Xiao Wan, there’s been no shortages of people talking behind my cousin’s back while she was away during all these years. She…”

In a blink of an eye, the two raging lionesses were longer glaring at each other. Instead, their eyes were solely focused on the poor girl who only wanted to help.

“Xiaoyun, tell me, who are the people talking behind Bai Yan’s back? I’ll go after them!”

“Those thugs sure are bold to talk ill of my nephew and sister-in-law!”

Their angry voices were nearly in sync, causing a resonance effect across the street.

Smiling right up to her eyes, Lan Xiaoyun was very pleased with this reaction: “This wasn’t all of it. Right after they learned of little Xiachen’s existence, they also started to talk ill about Lord Cang and that he’s taking care of another man’s child. I’ve already compiled a list for us to get them back one at a time.”

“The first one, hmm, let’s start with that sixth princess of the Royal Family. She not only mocked my cousin behind her back, she even bullied little Xiachen and attempted to set the Cang Manor ablaze. We should make an example of her for starters.”

Bringing out the list she’s been keeping on her at all times, Lan Xiaoyun was very proactive when it came to these sort of things.

“Let’s go, we’ll go find those bitches to settle the score!” Pulling up her sleeve, Di Xiao Wan was showing off the perfect image of someone ready for a fight.

Nodding in approval, Chu Yi Yi was the same in every way: “Lead the way Xiaoyun, we are going to pay them back in full force today!”

Seeing how easily these two are joining up for the task, the confused girl can finally exhale a sigh of relief. In her view, the main priority was to stop their heated bickering before it devolves into something serious.

As for that sixth princess… the girl can only consider herself unlucky.

“Sister Chu, Auntie Xiao Wan, we….” Bai Xiachen had wanted to say they should return home first, but before he could, the raging figures had already disappeared like wind and fire.

And thus, a flabbergasted child was left behind without his consent.
