Chapter 576: Dunlun
Editor: Atlas Studios
Spring stood outside the door and hesitated for a moment before interrupting the family of threeâs interaction. âFourth Master, Fourth Madam, the hot water is ready.â
Qj Haoran looked regretfully at his son, who despised him, before pulling Mu Yangling towards the bathroom.
Mu Yangling quickly retracted her hand and said in a low voice, âWhat? Go wash yourself.â
Qi Haoran looked as if she was abusing him. Gritting his teeth, he said, âAre you going to walk over yourself, or do you want me to carry you over?â Seeing Mu Yangling glare at him, he said aggrievedly, âHow long has it been since I last saw you?â
Mu Yangling looked at their son hesitantly.
Qi Haoran immediately picked up his son and handed him to Spring, who was outside the door. âBring Third Young Master to Second Young Master.â Little Bear was still in a daze when Spring brought him to Zhaode Hall. However, the trace of grievance he initially had dissipated when he saw his brother. He struggled to crawl out of Springâs arms and ran to hold Little Treasureâs hand. Then, the two of them played with mud in the courtyard, picked grass, and picked flowers. Soon, their faces became dirty and they even barged into Qi Xiuyuanâs study hand in hand, shocking the servants behind them.
Looking up, Qi Xiuyuan saw the two children whose faces and hands were covered in mud. He waved his hand to dismiss the servants and personally got up to carry the two children to sit on his knees. He took out a Three Character Classic and said, âCome, Iâll teach you how to read. âMan at birth is fundamentally good in nature.1 â
Little Treasure recited seriously, âMan at birth, good.â
Qi Xiuyuan laughed and taught him again seriously. âMan at birth is fundamentally good in nature.â
After repeating it three times, Little Treasure learned it. At least there were no more missing words. Qi Xiuyuan looked at Little Bear. The child was tilting his head and studying the pen wash on his table. Seemingly attracted by the drawing on it, he reached out to take it, but he couldnât because his arm was short.
Qi Xiuyuan passed it to him and coaxed him. âLittle Bear, can you study with me? âMan at birth is fundamentally good in natureâ.â
Probably because he had taken something from Qi Xiuyuan, Little Bear cooperatively made some noises in accordance, but they were all âah ah ahâ words. He did not even manage to pronounce a proper word.
Frowning, Qi Xiuyuan took the pen wash from his hand and said seriously, âStudy first, then Iâll let you play. âMan at birth is fundamentally good in nature.â â
Stunned, Little Bear looked up at Qi Xiuyuan seriously. He tilted his head and thought for a while before letting out two âah ah ahâ sounds. Seeing that Qi Xiuyuan still didnât give it to him, he slapped the book in front of him angrily with his tiny hand, leaving behind his little imprint upon it.
Qi Xiuyuan was speechless. Just as he was about to educate Little Bear, he saw Little Treasure snatch the book excitedly and leave his own imprint on it. Little Bear stopped thinking about the pen wash and started competing with Little Treasure to see who left the most handprints.
However, there was only so much dirt on their hands, hence they couldnât print anything after a few seals. Both of them were very sad. In the end, Little Treasure looked at his palm and seemed to have thought of something. He struggled to slip off his fatherâs leg and ran outside. Under the surprised gazes of the servants, he squatted down and rubbed his little hands on the ground. Then, he raised his dirty little hands and rushed back He struggled to climb up again to leave his handprint on the book. However, he didnât have enough balance, so he couldnât raise his hand. So in the end, he simply grabbed his fatherâs clothes and left dirty little handprints on them.
This time, Little Treasure was no longer afraid. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at the claw mark on his fatherâs sleeve. As if he had suddenly realized something, he pressed his small hand against Qi Xiuyuanâs chest.
When he moved his hand away again, there was a faint handprint on Qi Xiuyuanâs chest.

Little Treasure laughed happily. Little Bear, who had been watching, couldnât sit still anymore. He hurriedly broke free from Qi Xiuyuanâs arms and ran out with Little Treasure to get some mud before returning to imprint it on Qi Xiuyuanâs clothes.
Qi Xiuyuanâs face was as black as charcoal. In the end, he took a deep breath and suppressed the reprimand that was on the tip of his tongue by telling himself that the children were still young and insensible.
When Li Jinghua came over, she saw the two boys laughing and tugging at Qi Xiuyuanâs clothes. Li Jinghua smiled knowingly and was about to say that Eldest Master and the children were getting closer when she saw the dense little handprints on Qi Xiuyuanâs clothes. She swallowed her words.
The corners of her mouth twitched. She should get someone to take the two children downstairs to bathe and change.
At this moment, Mu Yangling was scrubbing Qi Haoranâs back.
Mu Yangling said with heartache and disdain, âHow many days has it been since you took a bath?â
She had already changed the water twice for him. It was only on the third try that the color of the water appeared a little more normal. She almost rubbed his skin raw.
Qi Haoran lay comfortably in the wooden bucket and said contentedly, âI couldnâ t even drink a mouthful of hot water, so where would I get the water to take a bath?â He counted in his heart and said, âThe last time I took a bath was after I saw Big Brother. The two of us found a small stream nearby to take a cold bath. Because it was such a cold day, we only took a quick bath.â
Mu Yangling was stunned. âHasnât it already been a month?â
At the thought that the weather was getting hotter and that Qi Haoran had been traveling and fighting a war, sweating was inevitable. So he had not washed himself for a month?
Seeing that Mu Yanglingâs disdainful look coincided with his precious sonâs disdainful look just now, Qi Haoran instantly flew into a rage out of humiliation and said, âYou still dare to despise me?â
With that, he reached out and pulled Mu Yangling into the wooden barrel.
Mu Yangling screamed. When she came back to her senses and saw that she was wet, she pinched him angrily, âwhat are you doing? Look, my clothes are wet!â Infuriated, Qi Haoran reached out to tug at her clothes and said, âItâs good that itâs wet. Bathe with me and save water. You donât know how precious water was when we were on the march. We even had to drink water sparingly.â With Qi Haoranâs words, Mu Yanglingâs disdain turned into heartache, and her attitude inevitably softened.
Seeing this, Qi Haoran hugged Mu Yangling even tighter. His breathing gradually quickened, and hot air gushed onto her neck and ears. He whispered, âAh Ling, Iâve missed you.â
Mu Yanglingâs hand that was pushing him away paused slightly. She said in a low voice, âLetâs not do it here. Weâll be laughed at.â
There s no one outside. Besides, who would dare to laugh at us?â As Qi Haoran spoke, he quickly stripped Mu Yangling clean and groped her up and down. Embarrassed and timid, Mu Yanglingâs face was flushed red. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and let him do whatever he wanted.
Liking it even more, Qi Haoran hugged her tightly and whispered in her ear, âIâm so happy⊠That youâre so obedientâŠâ
Mu Yanglingâs face flushed red, but Qi Haoranâs kisses fell like raindrops. While Mu Yangling was in a daze, he lifted her leg and rushed in. Then, he started a fierce battleâŠ
Mu Yanglingâs head was buried in Qi Haoranâs chest. After he carried her and placed her on the bed, she directly pulled the blanket over and buried herself in it. With a satisfied look on his face, Qi Haoran patted the blanket and said, âIâll get someone to come in and clean up.â
Mu Yangling shrunk like a quail and pretended not to hear him.
