Chapter 430: Filial piety leads to strength

Chu Li's smile deepened. "Go and have a look. These are gifts from your aunt, grandmother, grandfather, and great-grandmother."

"Wow, we have so many relatives?" Xiao Ming's face was full of excitement.

Chu Li nodded.

"Then why hasn't our father come back?" Xiao Yueyue asked curiously.

Chu Li was about to answer when four masters came in.

"You two go and play, mother will talk to the masters." Chu Li pointed to several large boxes.

"Let's go play." The two filial and strong kids immediately forgot about their father.

Chu Li told the four masters about her experiences in the Great Xia Kingdom.

Xue Jinghuai smiled and praised: "My disciple is really amazing. You can cure eye diseases that Master can't. Master, if you don't work harder, it won't work."

Situ Yichen joked, "It's not shameful for the disciple to be better than the master."

Xue Jinghuai sneered, "You are so thick-skinned."

Chu Li touched the rabbit's shell. The rabbit narrowed its eyes and let her touch it.

Luo Changhe's smile deepened. The two disciples were finally together. The next step would be to talk about marriage.

Ye Qingwu sighed, "I didn't expect your handsome husband to have such a powerful background."

"Master, you are making fun of me again."

Chu Li warned, "He is my husband in Da Chu. Our relationship will definitely not be accepted by the world. Therefore, there will be no Ye Hanting in Da Chu from now on. He can only die. I will announce tomorrow that Ye Hanting died while suppressing bandits. You should not tell the children about this for the time being."

From now on, Ye Hanting will appear as Jun Ling.

Then, I will tell Xiaoyueyue and Xiaoming the truth.

Xiao Ming, who was eavesdropping not far away, retracted his head, his eyes filled with tears.

Xiao Yueyue pouted and said, "Handsome big brother, no, her father is dead."

The next day, the two little guys waited until their mother left and then climbed out of bed.

Xiao Ming said sensibly, "Mother must be afraid that we would be sad, so she deliberately kept it from us."

Xiao Yueyue nodded, "Well, let's pretend we don't know, so that mother won't be sad too."

"But I miss Daddy so much."

Xiao Yueyue patted Xiao Ming's hand and said, "Brother, in order to make mother less sad, let's find a husband for her."

Xiao Ming frowned, "Will this really make mother happy?"

Xiao Yueyue said seriously, "Mother likes handsome brothers the most, she will definitely be very happy."

"But where can we find a handsome brother for our mother?"

Xiao Yueyue thought for a moment and said, "I got it. Last time my uncle took us to Jinghua Pavilion, there were many good-looking boys studying there."

"Okay, let's go there."

Xiao Ming was tricked by his sister into sneaking out of the house. From afar, the two of them saw white lanterns hanging in front of the Taifu Mansion and many people gathered in front of the door.

"Alas, Master Taifu died young, what a pity!"

"Yes, the Grand Tutor is not a treacherous minister. He has dedicated his life to the country and has great principles in mind."

Common people kept coming to the gate of the Grand Tutor's Mansion to mourn Ye Hanting, and many young ladies from aristocratic families who admired Ye Hanting hid in the carriages and cried with red eyes.

Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming both hung their heads and wiped their tears, their father was really dead.

Then they quietly came to Jinghua Pavilion not far from their home and saw many elegant students reading.

"Wow, that brother is handsome." Xiao Yueyue held her chin with her eyes shining.

Xiao Ming looked at his sister. How come his sister was just like their mother, both liked to look at their handsome brother.

Xiao Yueyue saw another handsome scholar in white. She pouted her lips and looked thoughtful. "This one is also good-looking. It's so hard to choose."

Suddenly, a silly voice came from behind the two of them, "Little bastards, I finally found you!"

Xiao Ming looked back alertly and saw the fat boy who had bullied his sister.

When the King of Qi's concubine saw the two little kids, her brows furrowed.

The King of Qi was beaten with a stick and got angry at the mother and son for no reason. She took the child out of the house in a rage. How come they met these two little jinxes when they went out to play?

"Son, you came back to me the last time he hit you!" Prince Qi's concubine looked at Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming viciously.

The little bastards are all so pretty, it really makes people jealous.

When the little fat boy heard his mother support him, his fat face smiled and his eyes disappeared.

"Mother, I will teach them a lesson today!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his bean bun-sized fist at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming was not afraid to fight against the little fat boy, and Xiao Yueyue cheered on the side, "Brother, come on!"

The fat boy gradually lost the upper hand and immediately asked the guards for help.

"Beat him to death for me!" the fat boy shouted, covering his cheek which was hurt by Xiao Ming's beating.

Xiao Ming yelled, "Sister, run."

"Brother, I won't leave." Soon Xiao Yueyue was also caught.

Xiao Yueyue snorted coldly: "Our mother is very powerful. If you dare to hurt me and my brother, you will be beaten!"

The little fat man said with pride: "Let me tell you, I am the only son of the King of Qi. You are bastards without parents. Where are your parents? Call them over if you have the guts!"

The fat boy pushed Xiao Yueyue to the ground, and Xiao Ming was pinned to the ground by the guards.

Xiao Yueyue cried. She remembered what her mother had told her that if she encountered danger, she should shout loudly to attract people's attention.

"There's a fire! There's a fire!" Xiao Yueyue shouted.

My mother said that we should not shout for help, but shout "the fire is burning" to attract more people.

The concubine of Prince Qi immediately covered Xiao Yueyue's mouth. She took a closer look and wondered why this child looked so much like His Majesty.

And that boy is so handsome and looks like Taifu Ye Hanting.

She immediately denied the idea, thinking that she was overthinking it. If these two children had such noble status, how could they not have the protection of the Royal Guards?

Xiao Yueyue's grape-like eyes were swollen from crying. Xiao Ming threw the mist ball that their mother gave them for self-defense, and ran to a crowded place with his sister.

Pei Ye and Mu Feng went out of the city to pick up Ye Hanting's coffin. The two did not speak a word along the way.

Mu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Master Ye, is he really dead?"

Pei Ye was not clear about this either. Chu Li had already told the court that Ye Hanting had dedicated his life to the country in the fight against bandits, and he also conferred the title of Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery on him.

Didn’t Ye Hanting ascend the throne in Daxia?

Pei Ye replied angrily, "He should be dead."

"There's a fire! Help!"

Suddenly, they both heard the child's cry for help.

"Little bastard, don't run!" The fat boy's eyes were stinging from the mist ball, and he chased after the two men.

Soon the guards surrounded the two kids.

The little fat boy pushed Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming down in one go.

"You two little bastards, don't even think about running away, beat them to death!"

"Don't hit my sister." Xiao Ming protected Xiao Yueyue under him.

The moment the fists and feet landed.

Mu Feng and Pei Ye said in unison: "Stop!"
