Having a Baby Before Marrying a Wicked Husband - Chapter 136

Not reciting means not reciting, Keke signaled with a roll of his eyes. With his mouth tightly shut, he really got on Zhu Yang’s nerves.

So arrogant!

It had been a long time since he had seen someone so arrogant.

He had to be taught a lesson. Zhu Yang had already figured out a plan since it wasn’t a good idea to do anything at school. When he found him alone, he would give him a good beating to make sure he wouldn’t be so arrogant again.

After school, Zhu Yang and a few cronies followed Keke all the way. To avoid too many people knowing about this, and to prevent anyone from gossiping, they didn’t bring any of their servants along.

Who were they kidding? They were planning to wait for Jiang Qingke to be alone. With so many of them, Jiang Qingke wouldn’t stand a chance against them alone. If word got out, it would be hilarious.

So, these cronies were all students who couldn’t stand Jiang Qingke’s usual aloofness, so they gathered together.

Unfortunately, the servant next to Jiang Qingke was sticking too close. After walking for such a long distance, almost reaching Jiang Qingke’s house, they still hadn’t found an opportunity.

Really not wanting to miss the chance, they were already thinking of ways to distract the servant.

“What if we send someone to steal his money and then let him discover it and chase after the thief?”

“Or we find a woman to pretend to have an affair with the servant, causing a scene on the street. When he gets distracted, Jiang Qingke will definitely stand aside. Then we can secretly kidnap him?”

“How to kidnap?” Zhu Yang asked.

The person who came up with the idea proudly took out a small bottle from his pocket and grinned, “Look at this, what is it? This is a great treasure. Just a little bit of it can make people dizzy. When the time comes, won’t he be at our mercy?”

The group nodded in agreement. However, their plan was not put into action.

Suddenly, Jiang Qingke said to the servant who had been following him all the way “Uncle Lan, Father suddenly wants to eat the braised goose leg from Chunfeng Restaurant, and I forgot to buy it. Can you help me run an errand?”

Not wanting people to see his missing tooth, Qingke spoke with his mouth covered the whole time, making his speech unclear.

Lan was a bit puzzled. How could he not know that the young master and Master Manyue had mentioned wanting to eat braised goose legs?

“But the two masters asked me to stay close to Young Master …”

“It doesn’t matter. Won’t we be home soon? What’s the big deal? When I take my little brother out to play, we often come this far. It’s not dangerous. Uncle Lan, go ahead. Chunfeng Restaurant is about to close. Hmm, I also want to try their braised duck feet and heads!”

Upon hearing that the young master also wanted to eat, Lan didn’t hesitate anymore. Chunfeng Restaurant had an elegant name, but in reality, it specialized in braised meats, and he also liked their braised beans. However, it was expensive; the beans were sold at the price of meat.

He only tasted them when the master bought them. He couldn’t bear to buy them himself.

“Then, Young Master, please go home early and don’t linger outside.”

“Okay okay!” Qingke waved goodbye to Lan. When Lan’s figure disappeared from view, Qingke turned around and didn’t go home but instead turned into an alley.

Chunfeng Restaurant was more than half an hour away from here. That should be enough.

Seeing him alone, Zhu Yang and his friends didn’t bother with trying to distract anyone and quickly followed Qingke into the alley.

The alley was winding and not many people ventured in. This street wasn’t very bustling; it was a residential area.

After the family moved back from their hometown, they soon moved out of the house at the foot of the tea mountain. This was done with the children in mind. They didn’t mind living in a quiet place, but children needed playmates, so they moved back to the city.

After searching for a long time, they chose the current house to live in. It was a bit far from the commercial street, but not too far. It was convenient to go out and buy things; it only took a couple of streets. The neighborhood was residential, so it wasn’t too noisy. And the academy wasn’t too far away either.

This was definitely a “school district house”! Yan Cai, who hadn’t received an education, thought to himself. Actually, he was a bit envious. He was illiterate himself and had relied on self-study to make up for his lack of cultural knowledge, so he had always felt a bit bitter.

Now, the dream of enjoying a good education was placed on his son. As a father, he naturally wanted to choose the best education for his son!

Yan Cai even looked into the neighbors nearby. They were all good families with children of similar ages! Just after arriving here, Yan Cai received a basket of fresh green-skinned plums with a layer of white powder from the kindly old lady next door.

When they first returned to Qingqu, it was summer. The neighbor next door had a yard full of plums, and their own household was already tired of eating them; with each bite, their teeth would start to feel soft. What’s more, this old lady didn’t have any soft teeth at all – the old lady had no teeth at all.

The old lady was hospitable, and several households nearby had received plums from her. Today, she happened to be taking a stroll nearby and noticed Qingke entering the alley alone.

At first, she didn’t think much of it, but then she noticed a group of young gentlemen following Qingke into the alley.

Immediately, the old lady thought of something bad. Qingke was a good child, and he must have been bullied by those older kids. Even with her failing eyesight, she could see that those people were much older and taller than Qingke.

This was unacceptable!

She had to go and see, but as she started to walk, she realized that she was an old woman and simply not a match for them physically. So, she hesitated and instead went to Qingke’s house to find his parents.

Qingke had keen ears; he had long noticed those people following him. To create an opportunity for them to be alone, Qingke didn’t hesitate to speak up and send Green away.

These past few days, he had been struggling hard to avoid speaking in front of people, and now he had broken his resolve just at this moment.

As they walked into the deserted alley, Qingke stopped and turned to the side. Zhu Yang and his friends, who had been following closely, suddenly found him missing.

“Where did he go?” Zhu Yang shouted, only to feel a vine strike him from above.

It hurts! A red mark immediately appeared on his skin, and the few people were dizzy from the beating, and there was a smell in the air, which made everyone’s eyes start to be blurry and they couldn’t see anything clearly.

With a thud, they all fell to the ground. Qingke, sitting on the wall, casually withdrew the vine. Alas, he couldn’t show his face to them because of his vow of silence. If he did, he might not be able to resist mocking them. But speaking with a tooth gap was too embarrassing.

Qingke endured it.

After doing all this, he jumped down from the wall directly to the other side. From the other side of the wall, he could take a shortcut directly to the back door of his house.

As a result, when the old lady came with Yan Cai and Jiang Manyue, they just missed Qingke.

Yan Cai stared with wide eyes at the people lying on the ground. Using a father’s intuition and the keen eyesight to find his young cub, he quickly determined that his son was not here.

He pinched his second son’s paw, feeling slightly relieved. It seemed like his eldest son hadn’t been bullied.

Don’t ask him how he knew, the appearance of these people clearly indicated that his son had given them a good beating. After kindly sending them to the clinic. Yan Cai explained to the old lady who had kindly come to report, saying that nothing had happened, Qingke wasn’t here, and this matter had nothing to do with him.

An excellent father who helped his son clear his name early!

Although the old lady was puzzled, she wasn’t too persistent.

However, when they returned home, Qingke still had to be reprimanded. He truly was a principled son; no matter how his two fathers taught him, he simply refused to speak.

Yan Cai was puzzled. Who did he inherit this stubbornness from? He definitely wasn’t like that!

Yan Cai cast his suspicious gaze at Jiang Manyue. He always felt that only Jiang Manyue, the original young master, had the chance to pass on such a stubborn personality to their son.

Jiang Manyue: “…”

In the end, those people couldn’t say who had attacked them. Not only was there no evidence, but they also felt embarrassed to say anything. Seven or eight big kids couldn’t even beat a seven-year-old.

How shameful.

Congratulations to these students. After experiencing the harsh realities of society, they have finally gained the keen instincts of animals regarding danger. They now know how to seek advantages and avoid harm, learning to stay away from Jiang, and enjoy each day in happiness.

Congratulations!

On the thirty-ninth day of his vow of silence, Qingke finally grew his teeth back.

Unfortunately, Qingke’s teeth fell out quickly and grew back just as fast. While others lost their teeth gradually, Qingke’s fell out day by day in quick succession.

The rate of loss and growth remained consistent until one day, during class, Qingke raised his hand to answer a question.

For both of his fathers, Qingke’s rapid tooth replacement was remarkable, but for Qingke himself, it was an agonizingly long period.

Thus, the pain came to an end.
