Chapter 414: 207 Tormenting Scum (First Update)
The Yao Family had moved to Bishui Alley, and everyone was very happy, all warmly welcoming her arrival.
Madam Yao didn’t bring any maids, only Nanny Fang came with her.
Gu Yan gave up his room and moved in with Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Xiaoshun didn’t mind, after all, the bed was big enough for three people! Besides, the two went to school together, learned arts together, and their relationship grew stronger by the day. They really were like brothers.
Madam Yao and Nanny Fang lived in Gu Yan’s room.
The old tavern keeper stayed next door. The old lady was annoyed that she had to walk so far through the main entrance every time she wanted to steal a private fund, so she simply let Gu Jiao knock down the walls between the two houses, turning them into a combined quadrangle courtyard. there was enough room.
The reason Nanny Fang lived in Madam Yao’s room was mainly to take care of her.
The news of Madam Yao’s pregnancy was not kept from them, and everyone knew that there was a little baby in Madam Yao’s belly.
Gu Yan stared at Madam Yao’s belly for a long time, finding it hard to believe that he was going to be a brother.
Little Jingkong approached Madam Yao, with his little hands behind his back and cocked his little head, “Madam, is the baby in your belly a brother or a sister?”
Madam Yao smiled and asked, “Does Jingkong want a brother or a sister?”
Little Jingkong thought about it, his eyes spinning, and with Xiao Liulang not at home, he tiptoed up and whispered into Madam Yao’s ear, “A brother. A brother just like the bad brother-in-law.”
That way he could beat that bad brother-in-law into submission!
Mwahahaha!
Little Jingkong still regretted that the bad brother-in-law didn’t turn into Xiaoba, so he pinned his hopes on the little brother in Madam Yao’s belly.

He had a peculiar logic: as long as his brother is born, the bad brother-in-law will become his brother.
How could Madam Yao guess such a wild thought of a child? She thought Little Jingkong wanted a brother to play with him.
Given her physical condition, it was difficult enough to get pregnant. As for whether it was a son or a daughter, she felt both would be great.
Little Jingkong carefully cared for Madam Yao and the little brother in her belly, and then he went about his own business.
Xiao Liulang was a bit busy lately. There was some trouble with Fen Lin — he was from Song County, and after he passed the imperial examination, someone had used his name to put up fields.
The fields under the name of a scholar in Zhan Country could be exempted from taxes.
Fen Lin’s parents did not farm, but his clan relatives hung fields in Lin’s name everywhere, and accepted quite a bit of tribute silver, and Fen Lin was completely unaware of this.
Unfortunately, the court was currently rectifying the practice of hanging fields, and they just took Song County as a typical example.
This matter could be big or small – the big deal could make Fen Lin lose his status as a scholar and would not be able to participate in the imperial examination.
Fen Lin was very anxious.
Xiao Liulang asked if his parents were involved in the matter. Lin told Xiao Liulang that his parents were not involved, but the clan relatives gave his parents a tribute. When the tribute was given, they only said it was a little sentiment from everyone for Lin’s study. They insisted the tribute was a bonus from the hanging fields after the event happened.
His parents could not clear their names even if they jumped into the Yellow River. To avoid implicating their son, they nearly committed suicide by hanging. Fortunately, Lin’s sister found out in time and stopped them.
This matter would not be difficult to deal with sooner or later. Lin could confront them face to face if he went back once, but now it was the time for the spring imperial examination, and Lin could not leave.
Xiao Liulang made many inquiries and learned that the local governor in charge of this matter was a half-student of Master Feng. When Master Feng was the Minister of Honglu Temple, he had promoted him. So Xiao Liulang, as a student of Master Feng, wrote an urgent letter to the governor.
When Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Alley, Little Jingkong, who should have been doing homework in his room at this hour, was actually sitting on the doorstep with a puppy, seven chicks, and a somewhat grown eaglet by his side.
The formation was very neat!
Xiao Liulang could not help but laugh and feel annoyed, “You all came out to welcome me?”
Little Jingkong glared at him, proudly showing him a gold card in his hand, “A gift from Jiaojiao!”
After all that, it turned out he was waiting here to show off to him.
Xiao Liulang treated it as a regular toy, but when he held it in his hand, it felt heavy, making him feel something was not right. Then he took a closer look and was stunned.
Wasn’t this the royal family’s golden life-saving medal?
Wasn’t she just took the life-saving medal during his absence?
What the hell was going on?
“Jiaojiao gave it to me! You’re not allowed to take it!” Little Jingkong tiptoed to snatch the golden card back and hugged it in his arms.
“Petty.” Xiao Liulang ruffled his little head and stepped into the courtyard.
Bitten and unable to fight back, Little Jingkong went crazy!
See, this is why he must grow up quickly! He wants to grow as big as the bad brother-in-law, shrink the bad brother-in-law, and then rub him hard! Rub him!
Xiao Liulang saw Madam Yao in the backyard.
Gu Jiao had mentioned to the family a long time ago that she wanted to bring Madam Yao over, so he was not surprised to see her.
Xiao Liulang could clearly feel that when Madam Yao was there, Gu Jiao’s mood would become better.
Perhaps Gu Jiao herself was unaware of this.
Xiao Liulang greeted Madam Yao and went to the kitchen.
