The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket!-Chapter 1203 - 1025, Illness

Outside the house, seeing Daohua and her son reconciling, Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang both sighed in relief.

Xiao Yeyang noticed that it had gotten dark, so he helped Gu Jian back to Nanshan Hall.

Daohua had dinner with Daozi, tucked him into bed, and then returned to the main courtyard.

In Nuan Pavilion, Xiao Yeyang was sitting in front of the rocking crib, gently swaying it to lull the twins to sleep. Seeing Daohua enter, he made a motion to be quiet.

Daohua immediately lightened her steps, walked over to check on the two sleeping children, adjusted their blankets, and then left with Xiao Yeyang.

Xiao Yeyang saw the exhaustion on Daohua’s face, pulled her down to sit on a round-backed armchair, and stood behind her to massage her shoulders: "Is Daozi asleep?"

Daohua nodded her head: "Recently, I’ve neglected Daozi’s feelings. Previously, everyone at home doted on him, but now with the twins, our attention has shifted to the little ones, inevitably making him feel emotionally unbalanced."

Upon saying this, she looked at Xiao Yeyang.

"When you have time, you should also spend more time with Daozi, so he doesn’t feel like our love for him has diminished with the arrival of his younger siblings."

"Nor should we let him feel like he needs to sacrifice a lot because of his siblings, as that would not be good for their relationship."

Xiao Yeyang immediately responded: "Alright, in a few days when I have a day off, I’ll take Daozi and Moreng out riding."

The next morning, as soon as Daozi woke up, he excitedly directed his nanny and maid to pack his things, ready to move back to the main courtyard.

Once Daozi was dressed, he couldn’t wait to return to the main courtyard. Just as he stepped out, he saw Xiao Moreng, and immediately shouted: "Fourth brother, my mother told me, she loves me the most, I’m going back to live in the main courtyard."

Seeing the joy in Daozi’s demeanor, Xiao Moreng found it somewhat amusing. Children indeed.

"Fourth brother, I’m going to meet our parents first. Let’s go to our great grandmother’s together for a meal later."

"Alright."

Daozi hopped and jumped back to the main courtyard, and just as he entered, he sneezed.

"Achoo~"

Seeing Daozi constantly rubbing his nose, Daohua quickly pulled him close to check.

His nose was blocked, and Daozi had rubbed it red.

Daohua touched Daozi’s forehead with her hand, feeling it was rather hot, and her heart suddenly sank.

Yesterday Daozi had been swimming in the river and was exposed to the wind for a while; he must have caught a cold.

Daohua picked Daozi up and sat him on her lap: "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Feeling his mother’s concerned embrace, Daozi, delighted, leaned into her: "I feel dizzy and sleepy." He said, and sneezed again.

"Mother, I had the nanny help me pack my things, I’m moving back here."

Confirming Daozi had caught a cold, Daohua, holding him, went into the inner room: "Alright, you can live wherever you want."

Xiao Yeyang was just getting up, sitting by the bed getting dressed, and seeing Daohua carrying Daozi in, he smiled and took the little guy to place him on the bed: "Little lazy pig still wants to sleep?"

Daozi nestled in the blanket carrying his parents’ scent and retorted: "I’m not a little lazy pig."

Daohua said to Xiao Yeyang: "Daozi has caught a cold; I’m going to prepare some medicine for him, you watch him for a bit."

Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang quickly reached out to touch Daozi’s forehead, felt its heat, and instantly became worried.

Since his birth, their son, having been well taken care of, had never fallen ill before.

When Gu Jian learned Daozi had caught a cold, he also hurried to the main courtyard, looking at Daozi rubbing his nose and showing a pained expression, he felt both distressed and angry: "Let’s see if you dare to go swimming in the river again."

Daozi muttered, "Eighth Brother and the others said, if father and mother still care about me, then if I jumped into the river to swim, they would definitely rush over themselves." Speaking of which, he grinned, "Mother went personally, she still cares about me."

Hearing this, both Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang were shocked, followed by a surge of anger.

It turned out that Daozi was incited by Xiao Mobao and others to go to the Hucheng River!

Thinking of the divisive words Xiao Mobao and the others had said, Gu Jian was extremely angry: "These children who grew up in Beijing, each of them has so many thoughts? They’re only six or seven years old, yet they know how to sow discord and fan the flames."

Xiao Yeyang remained silent, not saying a word. What was the reason these young Imperial grandsons came to Xiliang? It was for the lordship of their uncle, now that the lordship has been given to the younger son, they would surely harbor dissatisfaction.

The children of the Imperial Family, who have lived amid struggles for power since childhood, have seen a lot and naturally understand a lot. Under the influence of those around them, animosity towards the Prince Residence can be stirred up in a minute.

Inciting Daozi to go swim in the Hucheng River...

It’s unclear whose idea it was? If it was an adult’s idea, then that would be it, but if it were children’s, their thoughts are indeed deep.

Waiting until Daohua fed Daozi medicine, Gu Jian stood up and returned to Nanshan Hall. After returning, the grandfather immediately wrote a letter to the Emperor to have Xiao Mobao and the others summoned back to Beijing.

...

Daozi’s health was good, and after taking two doses of medicine, the fever receded. By the third day, he was lively again.

During the two days he was sick, other than the times the twins cried and Daohua went to comfort them, she spent all other time with Daozi.

Gently telling stories, patiently administering medicine, Daozi felt he was the most important in his mother’s heart, and suddenly felt happy, sticking close to Daohua again.

After Daozi recovered, Xiao Yeyang took both Daozi and Xiao Moreng to Hucheng River.

Looking at the Hucheng River, Daozi felt uneasy and tugged at Xiao Yeyang’s sleeve: "Dad, why are we here?"

Xiao Yeyang smiled and lifted Daozi into his arms: "To show you why your mother and I don’t allow you to swim in the Hucheng River."

With that, he looked towards Defu.

Defu, understanding the sign, hurriedly had the bodyguard throw a prepared wooden dummy into the river.

Xiao Yeyang explained: "There are many undercurrents in the Hucheng River, which form whirlpools. Once a person falls into a whirlpool, they can never come up again."

As if to prove Xiao Yeyang’s words, a small whirlpool appeared on the surface of the river. After the dummy drifted along the river, it was firmly sucked into the vortex.

Then, Daozi watched wide-eyed as the dummy slowly disappeared beneath the water surface.

Xiao Yeyang looked at Daozi, then at Xiao Moreng: "Now you know, you can’t casually enter the river, right?"

Daozi, frightened, nodded his head, his hands clutching tightly onto Xiao Yeyang’s robe.

Xiao Yeyang took this opportunity to teach: "In the future, don’t act rashly on whatever others say, always think things through carefully first."

Daozi, resting on Xiao Yeyang’s shoulder, stared at the river’s surface, his chubby face scrunched up anxiously.

Xiao Moreng appeared thoughtful, thinking about the behavior of several of his cousins that day, his brows slightly furrowed.

Father is right, in the Imperial Family, there are no real brotherly affections.

Upon thinking this, Xiao Moreng looked up at Xiao Yeyang, wondering if uncle also intended to teach Daozi this lesson with this visit?

Xiao Yeyang noticed Xiao Moreng’s gaze and smiled, asking: "Since it’s rare for you to come to Xiliang, is there any place you’d like to visit?"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Moreng paused for a moment, then quickly realized, was uncle telling him that they were going back to Beijing?

Xiao Yeyang smiled: "As a man, one should aspire to see the world. Only by seeing more can one better understand oneself. Think about it, if there’s any place you want to go, let your uncle know later, and I’ll take you there."

Moreng is a decent kid, after coming to Xiliang he has got along well with Daozi, and I too am willing to spend more time with him, considering it as an investment for Daozi’s sake.
