Chapter 563: Chapter 563 They Are Superfluous_1

Luckily, the house was surrounded by ice, so An Jing didn’t really feel the heat.

The doors to the main hall were open, and An Jing sat inside, where the cradle had also been moved. The four little ones were lying in the cradle, and most of the time, An Jing would watch these tiny tots, occasionally glancing at the brightly sunlit outdoors.

Like her, the four little ones had always stayed in the inner rooms and hadn’t been exposed to bright light. Fearing their eyes couldn’t handle it, An Jing and Xiao Changyi decided to let them stay in the main hall, which was much brighter than the inner rooms.

An Jing and Xiao Changyi had already planned that when the children grew a bit older, they would take them outside for a walk.

Doctor Jiang had said that it’s not good for children to always be cooped up inside.

"My lord, the eldest young master looks exactly like he’s been carved out of the same mold as you." Meng Zhuqing exclaimed in surprise.

Before, Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing had never entered the inner rooms. Today was the first time they saw the four little ones, and even though they had heard that Su Yi Jing resembled Xiao Changyi quite a bit, they hadn’t expected him to look this strikingly similar—virtually a mini version of Xiao Changyi.

However, even though Meng Lanqing was extremely surprised, he didn’t show it.

On the other hand, Meng Zhuqing couldn’t master his emotions as Meng Lanqing did; upon seeing how much Su Yi Jing resembled their lord, his astonishment couldn’t help but escape his lips.

At this moment, the main hall contained only An Jing, Xiao Changyi, the four little ones of Jing Xingqingyun, and the Mengshi Brothers.

To Xiao Changyi, he truly felt that the Mengshi Brothers were superfluous in their family of six.

So, Xiao Changyi, as if he hadn’t heard Meng Zhuqing’s exclamation, ordered expressionlessly, "Go make more ice."

"Yes."

Meng Zhuqing and Meng Lanqing didn’t question why more ice was needed and immediately went to produce more by using nitre.

While waiting for the nitre to turn the water into ice, Meng Lanqing suddenly spoke up, "Zhuqing, you should get married. If you can have four sons in one go like the lord, I’ll give you all my family wealth."

"...Brother, have you forgotten? Your money is mine. I even buy your clothes for you. When they tear, I’m the one who mends them." Meng Zhuqing responded in a very, very low voice.

"Is that so?" Meng Lanqing pretended as if he knew nothing about these matters.

Meng Zhuqing immediately nodded vigorously, "Yes!"

His brother actually had the ability to make money, far sharper than him, but he spent it like water; no amount of money was ever enough for his own expenses. Thus, he would regularly hand over a sizable portion of his earnings to his brother to spend.

Meng Lanqing didn’t feel embarrassed, instead looking at Meng Zhuqing with an injured expression and saying, "I’m your brother; it’s not too much to use a bit of your money, right?"

Meng Zhuqing grit his teeth and nodded, "Yeah, it’s nothing!"

"That’s good then." Meng Lanqing smiled, his stunningly gorgeous face looking irresistibly charming and bewitching, as he reached out for money from his twin, "I’m a bit short on cash recently, give me five hundred taels to spend."

"...Brother, I’m not a Money Bank; I don’t just have money whenever you want it." Meng Zhuqing protested in a very, very low voice.

Meng Lanqing simply stroked his handsome face, lamenting, "This face of mine, oh, why did it, back in our mother’s womb—"

Once Meng Lanqing started speaking, Meng Zhuqing knew what was to follow and immediately gave in, not waiting for his brother to finish his speech, he interjected, "I’ll give it! Don’t say anymore."
