I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 728 - Chapter 728 Protection

Chapter 728: Protection Chapter 728: Protection Editor: Atlas Studios When Qi Haoran and Fan Zijin learned that the mastermind behind the poisoning of the East Hall couldn’t be found, their expressions darkened.

However, the two of them knew that the most anxious person should be the Emperor, so they did not say anything.

Still, the two of them began to slowly investigate in private.

The two of them seemed to know what the other party was thinking, so they did not waste any resources.

They directly put their heads together and investigated together.

However, even Qi Xiuyuan couldn’t find anything after two to three days, let alone them.

Qi Haoran returned home later and later, and his expression increasingly darkened.

Not only Mu Yangling, but even Little Bear had become much more obedient.

He no longer pestered his father to piggyback him around all over the garden, nor did he mess with his weapons.

Instead, he turned his attention to the small garden and brought his three little friends to climb trees, dig out birds’ nests, and dig for insects in the ground.

It could be said that they were up to all sorts of mischief.

In just two days, the Qi Residence’s small garden seemed to have undergone a huge disaster.

Mu Yangling’s head hurt when she saw this.

She tried to reason with him, but Little Bear didn’t seem to retain much of that reasoning.

When Mu Yangling beat him up, this child cried loudly and even complained to his father when Qi Haoran returned.

He followed behind him from the entrance and muttered aggrievedly, “Mother hit me.

Mother hit meaEUR|” He didn’t stop until they entered the Zhaohua Courtyard where they lived.

Qi Haoran replied, “You were naughty, right?

You deserve it!” Little Bear tried hard to get his father on his side.

Seeing that he failed, he could only pout and look for an alliance.

He decided to shift to a different base and was determined not to eat with his parents that night.

Carrying his small bowl of rice, he walked through the small garden and through the passageway, heading straight to Fan Zijin’s house.

He said pitifully, “Uncle, I want to eat with you.” Fan Zijin and Qi Haoran returned one after another.

Having just sat down, Fan Zijin did not know what had happened in the West Manor.

He blinked in confusion and found that Little Bear looked really pitiful, so he nodded and said, “Come here, come to Uncle.” Little Bear ran to Fan Zijin’s side with his little legs.

When he looked behind him and saw that he was running over alone, he frowned and was about to flare up.

Just then, a figure dispersed at the door and then continued to disappear into the shadows outside.

Fan Zijin snorted in his heart and stopped pursuing the matter.

He lowered his head to look at Little Bear and stroked his head.

He asked, “Why did you come to Uncle?” Little Bear pouted and complained, “Mother hit me and Daddy refused to help me, too.” Fan Zijin did not even ask why Mu Yangling had hit him.

He directly concluded that it was ridiculous for an adult like Mu Yangling to be calculative with a child and force the child outside in the middle of the night.

And that brat, Haoran, was actually on her side.

At this thought, Fan Zijin pitied Little Bear even more.

He picked him up and placed him on his lap.

“Since your parents didn’t treat you well, we won’t be friends with them anymore.

Tonight, you’ll eat and sleep at Uncle’s place.

Let’s see if they get anxious.” Little Bear nodded fiercely and handed his bowl to Fan Zijin.

This was the bowl he had been using since he was eight months old and belonged exclusively to him.

When he came to seek justice from Fan Zijin, he didn’t forget to bring it with him.

However, Fan Zijin misunderstood.

In his eyes, Little Bear was holding a bowl pitifully and handing it to him, looking like a little beggar on the street who was starving and begging for a bite to eat.

His eyes were filled with desire and anticipation.

Coincidentally, Little Bear was also famished, for he typically ate at 5 pm every day.

After all that complaining and anger, and having walked all the way from the West Manor to the East Manor, he was super hungry by now.

That was why his wet eyes were filled with anticipation.

Fan Zijin felt that his heart was about to melt.

As he gently carried Little Bear to the dining room, he instructed the servants, “Prepare the food immediately.” At the same time, he was chastising Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling in her heart for being inept parents.

Even if they wanted to educate the child, they shouldn’t starve him.

Who was going to be responsible if the child’s health suffered from being starved?

Little Bear’s appetite was huge to begin with.

When he was two years old, he could already eat a large bowl of rice, comparable to an adult.

Now that he was three years old, his appetite was comparable to Qi Haoran’s.

Considering his immense strength, Qi Haoran and his wife were not surprised.

Mu Yangling had also said that she ate a lot when she was young.

When she was five years old, she was already eating more than even Mu Shi.

However, Fan Zijin had no idea of Little Bear’s huge appetite.

He was only aware that Little Bear was strong, but why would Qi Haoran tell him something so trivial like how much he ate at a typical meal?

Therefore, after adding two bowls of rice in a row, Little Bear, who was wolfing down the vegetables, became an abused child in Fan Zijin’s eyes.

His initial anger towards Qi Haoran and his wife instantly more than doubled.

This was simply absurd!

Brimming with motherly love at this time, when Little Madam Xia saw Little Bear’s teary eyes, she gently stroked his head and looked up at Fan Zijin.

“Master, why don’t you speak to Fourth Brother?

He shouldn’t starve the child no matter what.

I’ll go talk to Ah Ling, too.

Usually, if Little Bear only suffers a little knock, her heart would ache immensely.

Who knew that she would be so ruthless this time?

Just how much trouble did Little Bear cause?” The livid Fan Zijin regained some of his rationality and lowered his head to ask, “Little Bear, what did you do to make your mother so angry today?” Little Bear rattled off the things he had done, but Fan Zijin didn’t reckon any of those things justified Mu Yangling’s punishment.

Wasn’t it just climbing trees and drinking water, fishing out birds’ nests, catching insects, and lazing around?

When Haoran was so young, he was even more mischievous than Little Bear.

He even dared to grab a small snake and throw it at Fan ZixiaoaEUR| At this moment, Fan Zijin had completely forgotten that he was actually the mastermind behind this matter.

In fact, he was the one who brought Qi Haoran to find the snake and instructed him to aim it at Fan Zixiao’s neck.

Otherwise, with Qi Haoran’s personality, he would just have casually tossed it in Fan Zixiao’s direction.

Fan Zijin felt that he needed to teach this pair of parents a lesson.

He wanted them to know that they could lecture their children, but they could not torture them like this.

Hence, he got someone to tidy up Little Bear’s room.

He did not believe that the two of them could really sit still.

But, Qi Haoran and Mu Yangling actually could sit still.

The two of them were happily having an intimate conversation about Little Bear’s education.

After reaching a unanimous conclusion, they ate in peace.

As for Little BearaEUR| Qi Haoran: “This brat actually knows to look for his Uncle Zijin.

What a bright kid.

But I can’t let him get used to this habit.

Is Zijin pampering Little Bear too much?

What if my son turns into a silkpants?” Mu Yangling: “He ran away from home after quarreling with his parents.

If we compromise this time, what if he uses this trick again next time?

Fortunately, he only went to Zijin this time, but what if we move next time?

I have to correct this dangerous habit of his.

Wasn’t she worried that her son was with Fan Zijin?

Hurry up and stop joking.

Considering Zijin and Haoran’s brotherhood, she would only be worried that he would pamper Little Bear too much.

Oh dear, her son had only been gone for less than an hour, and she was already starting to worry that he’s being spoiled.

The couple was calm, but Little Bear was not.

This was because it was time for the parent-child interaction.

He paced around the room uneasily.

Even though he was in Fan Zijin’s arms, he still missed his father and mother.

A three-year-old child wasn’t one who could hold in their feelings.

At the thought of his parents, Little Bear raised his head but couldn’t see them anywhere.

Instantly, he opened his mouth and burst into tears.

Then, he climbed down Fan Zijin’s leg and ran out.

As he ran, he wailed, “FatheraEUR”MotheraEUR””
