The children were very shrewd. Whether it was intelligence, knowledge, or physical strength, they were all far superior to their peers. But no matter how powerful they were, they were still young. They didn't pay attention to their words and were all heard by Pang Xiao and Huzi, who were hiding not far away.
Huzi lowered his head and silently suppressed his laughter.
The children's childish voices spoke like little adults. They were worried about the relationship between mother and daughter-in-law, and worried that their father would take a concubine to bully their mother. It was so cute that it made his heart itch. When could he and Bing Tang have such a lively and cute son?
Pang Xiao also didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who would have thought that in their eyes, he was the kind of person who would bully his wife?
However, Pang Xiao wasn't angry because of this. Instead, he was reflecting on himself. The children lived with Qin Huaiyuan in Xi Yue. They had only been reunited with the couple for a short time. There was no such thing as being biased towards their mother after being with her for a long time.
So, he accounted for 80% of the reason why they had this kind of thinking.
The two children didn't plan to go back immediately. Instead, they held hands and found a corner with no wind. They looked at the palace servants standing guard in the distance and whispered in each other's ears.
"We just ate and mother was bullied until she cried. She didn't eat much. "Zhao Ge 'er lowered his head and pulled at the white rabbit fur on his sleeve with his fingers.
"Mother didn't cry because she was bullied. She cried because she was anxious. Grandfather said he wanted to leave. You also said you wanted to leave. Mother is the kind of person who wants the whole family to be together the most. " Brother Han sighed like a little adult. "But grandfather is a person who wants to do great things. You are also a person who wants to do great things. You can't always be with mother."
Brother Han sighed and suddenly leaned close to Zhao Ge 'er and whispered:
"Actually, it's grandmother's fault. Whenever grandmother saw mother, she would pout and glare. The words she said were also unpleasant. She always said we were bastards. I heard that before we were born, mother was kidnapped and suffered a lot outside. So some people suspect that we aren't father's biological children. "
"Really?"
"Of course it's fake. We are Father's biological children. Otherwise, Father wouldn't like us so much. I don't know what Grandmother is thinking. Why doesn't she like us?"
Seeing Brother Han's troubled frown, Brother Zhao shook his head. "It must be because Mother gave birth to a beautiful daughter. Grandmother is jealous of Mother, so she doesn't like us."
…
Pang Xiao, who was eavesdropping from a corner not far away, gradually darkened his face. His whole body was filled with anger.
Seeing that Pang Xiao was really angry, Huzi was anxious. He was afraid that Pang Xiao would beat his son. After all, it was wrong for a young child to talk about his grandmother behind her back.
However, Pang Xiao was not angry about this.
How dare the Yao Clan say such things in front of their children!
He didn't know what the Yao Clan and Yao Chenggu were thinking. He was the father of the children. How could he not know whether the children were his or not?
However, the Yao Clan insisted on this point. They insisted that the children's bloodline was impure and insisted on making him a cuckold. That wasn't all. They slandered Sister Yi and dared to say such things in front of the children!
This was because the children had been taught well by Qin Huaiyuan and had their own judgment. If it was an ordinary child who was disliked by his biological grandmother and was always called a bastard, what kind of child would that child grow up to be?
Moreover, a housewife who didn't see the big picture always said such strange things in front of the children. If the children were to follow her, what would they learn in the future? A gossipy woman?
Pang Xiao clenched his fists, and his joints made cracking sounds. Although his expression couldn't be seen clearly in the night, the terrifying aura he exuded was hard to ignore.
Huzi was worried and didn't know how to persuade him.
However, Pang Xiao walked out of the shadows with large strides, and went straight to the two children.
Zhao Ge 'er and Han Ge' er were still whispering when they heard footsteps approaching. They immediately turned around and saw their biological father striding over. They looked up at their tall and mighty father. They felt as if they were standing under a mountain and felt an unprecedented pressure. The children nervously pursed their lips and even forgot to greet their father.
When he got close, Pang Xiao asked, "Why don't you go back to Kunning Palace to rest?"
"Father, we'll go back after talking for a while." Han Ge 'er grinned and grabbed Pang Xiao's hand.
Zhao Ge 'er immediately grabbed Pang Xiao's other hand. He raised his head and said, "Father, is Niangqin crying? Are you going to deal with court affairs and don't want to accompany mother? "
Pang Xiao originally wanted to ask the two children, but before he could say anything, he was stumped by the question.
He hadn't reacted before. Just now, Sister Yi was crying so sadly. Now that she was left alone, wouldn't she be even sadder? He originally wanted to accompany Qin Yining, but who would have thought that he would encounter the two children whispering and forget about it.
Now, his expression turned cold, "It's getting late, let's all go back."
The children nodded together.
When Pang Xiao raised his head and strode in the middle, Zhao Ge 'er proudly winked at Han Ge' er from behind Pang Xiao. The beauty mole between his eyebrows set off his beautiful and delicate facial features, making him look a bit playful.
Han Ge 'er grinned and grabbed Pang Xiao's hand while moving his short legs to catch up with his father's pace. He anxiously said, "Father, if the Empress Dowager bullies mother in the future, will you help your mother or my mother?"
Pang Xiao choked and helplessly said, "I won't let your mother be wronged."
"But mother has always been wronged ah." Han Ge 'er didn't seem to understand where Pang Xiao's confidence came from, "They all said that even if mother is the Empress in the future, she will still be controlled by the Empress Dowager. My mother will do whatever the common people's daughter-in-law does. Also, the Empress Dowager also said that my mother feels guilty towards the Pang Family, so everything she does is what she should do. Father, what exactly is the guilt? Are we really not your sons like what the Empress Dowager said? "
Pang Xiao suddenly stopped and lowered his head to look at Han Ge 'er, who was looking up at him.
Han Ge 'er had a pair of eyes that were very similar to Qin Yining's. His eyes were big and bright, and when he smiled, the corners of his eyes curved, making him very pitiful.
Han Ge 'er didn't show any weakness despite being oppressed by his father's imperial majesty. He still tilted his head and looked at Pang Xiao: "Father, why aren't you talking?"
Pang Xiao was silent for a moment before he said, "You are very smart. You also learned how to beat around the bush and complain about your grandmother in front of your father?"
"Of course not. Father knows everything. He doesn't need us to complain. "
Han Ge 'er stuck out his tongue and pulled Zhao Ge' er's hand to run forward. The small body's speed wasn't slow.
Pang Xiao looked at their backs, feeling both angry and amused. Han Ge 'er was most likely mocking him just now. He knew everything, but he wasn't willing to help their mother vent her anger?
The child was only five years old, but he already knew how to speak like this. Obviously, he had inherited his father-in-law's power. What would happen when he grew up like this?
Pang Xiao's heart was a lot happier. At this time, he was incomparably grateful to Qin Huaiyuan for his efforts in raising his two children to be so sensible. They dared to speak in public, and they had their own ideas. They had the ability to think independently and didn't submit to other people's views. They could even quote the classics to explain their own point of view. They could also play tricks in front of their own father.
This kind of child, even an ordinary adult might not be able to compare.
