Chapter 563 Outrageous, utterly outrageous!
Chapter 563 Outrageous, utterly outrageous!
The little child clearly didn't know what his father wanted him to do, but he still obediently walked forward, held up his little hands, and called out sweetly, "Father!"
Prefect Chen patted his young son's head, then turned his gaze to his daughter, who was about the same age, and said, "Shu'er, come here too!"
The little girl named Chen Shu was clearly much more lively than her younger brother Chen Yu. She ran up to her father and snuggled into his arms, asking sweetly, "What does Daddy call Sister Shu for?"
Prefect Chen laughed heartily and said to the two little ones, "This is your great-uncle's little aunt. Your father is too busy to take care of her, so I'd like to ask Shu'er and Yu'er to help me look after her. Would you be willing?"
Chen Shu: "..."
Chen Yu: "..."
The siblings exchanged a glance. What was their father saying?
Are they still babies who need a wet nurse? How can they take care of their aunt?
Lin Chang'er was also stunned. She really didn't expect that her cousin would be given such a companion. It was outrageous, simply outrageous.
Just as she was about to politely refuse, Prefect Chen spoke first, "Little sister, don't refuse so soon, let your elder brother finish speaking."
"Brother, when I went to Linshui Village last time I saw your children, little sister, you taught them very well. The elementary school you taught them was also very practical. Shu'er and Yu'er are at the right age to start their education."
"That's why my brother is bringing this up with you."
Children in the family naturally have no trouble going to school, but how boring are all the same students?
It was also a good time for these two children to go out and gain experience, and to learn from their aunt.
"No matter how well they learn it, I just want to trouble you, little sister, to choose a practical skill for them to keep them company."
He had previously asked someone to examine Yu'er's bones, and the doctor said that Yu'er had excellent bone structure and was suited for martial arts.
My younger sister's adopted son has been raised very well.
It's not that he can't find a good martial arts instructor, but children need an environment to learn.
My younger sister's place is great; she teaches the same things to both men and women.
The two little ones seemed to understand their father's expectations, and turned to look at Lin Chang'er with bright, sparkling eyes. "Auntie, Yu'er/Shu'er is very well-behaved."
Lin Chang'er looked at the two adorable little children. There were already many children in the family, so having two more wouldn't make a difference.
Although it's unclear what her adoptive older brother was thinking, he always seemed to want to build a relationship with her through the children.
In the future, when she and Wu Qingfeng got into trouble, they would inevitably need the support of this older brother. Although he was mercenary, he was also realistic.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "If you don't mind that my place is a poor and remote area, then let the children stay there for a while."
She's still too young; what if she can't adapt?
When Prefect Chen saw that she agreed, he completely ignored the words "staying for a short time" in her words. His smile widened, and he instructed the wet nurse, "Go, pack the luggage for the young lady and the young master."
Because they were going to travel with Lin Chang'er, the two little ones were arranged to sit next to her.
After the banquet, Prefect Chen had someone take the two children to say goodbye to their respective aunts.
Chen Ming happened to return home and, upon hearing his father's arrangements, beamed with joy. He patted his chest and assured him, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely escort my aunt and sister-in-law back to Linshui Village safely."
As the three were talking, a steward hurried over, ran up to Prefect Chen, and whispered a few words in his ear.
Prefect Chen's relaxed brows furrowed tightly. He turned to Lin Chang'er and said, "Little sister, I have some trivial matters to attend to. Let Ming'er keep you company for now."
Lin Chang'er watched his hurried departure and looked at Chen Ming, "Is your concubine usually this troublesome?" She had just heard the steward say that Concubine Liu was going to hang herself.
Chen Ming chuckled, "Father likes Aunt Liu, so he's usually a bit spoiled. Maybe he's just being stubborn with Father because he can't bear to part with Yu-ge'er!"
Those who are easily swayed by appearances don't realize that their father is doing all this for Yu-ge'er's own good!
With her temperament, what good can she possibly raise? It's a waste of Father's hard work!
