EBE Chapter 566 Towering Flames
Chapter 566 Towering Flames
After a few howls, the wind suddenly shifted, and the woman, who had been heartbroken, suddenly burst into a tirade, "You heartless little thing, you ungrateful wretch, so young and already so disobedient and unfilial! Don't come back..."
After a while, several servants came out of the mansion and carried the man back, and the main gate of the prefect's mansion returned to peace.
Of course, Lin Chang'er and her group, including little Shu'er, were completely unaware of all this.
Chen Shu heard her father say that her aunt was very powerful, so she wanted to get close to her powerful aunt.
So when they got into the carriage, he insisted on riding with Lin Chang'er.
Chen Ming figured his younger brother and sister-in-law would most likely stay in Linshui Village for many years, so he might as well let them get to know each other as soon as possible.
Chen Yu was also placed in Lin Chang'er's carriage, while the wet nurse was kept in her original carriage.
His aunt seemed like a very amiable person, but he had also seen her when she wasn't.
His father came up with this idea not only for the sake of his children, but it was also a burden on his aunt, who hadn't even properly married or had children herself yet, but was already taking care of her cousin's child.
However, thinking about the children from Linshui Village and other villages who usually flock to the Gu family's home, it didn't seem so difficult.
But children should avoid it, and adults should also refrain from getting too close to people.
Chen Shuke didn't have so many worries. As soon as she got on the bus, she grabbed a great spot and snuggled into Lin Chang'er's arms.
Not only did she pat her formidable aunt on the shoulder, but she also patted another spot next to her, saying, "Yu-ge'er, come here quickly."
Chen Yu originally thought that since he was a boy, he couldn't cling to his aunt like a girl.
Moreover, the older sister seems to really like her aunt; he's a boy, so he can't compete with her for her affections.
Hearing Shujie call him, he grinned and moved closer to Lin Chang'er.
Chen Shu, though young, was quite precocious. She sighed and scolded him, "Why are you so mature for your age?"
"We are still children, and children should do what children should do."
"What's wrong with a child acting cute and affectionate towards adults? Your skill lies in making adults feel sorry for you."
Chen Yu held up his little hands and said, "Yu-ge'er is a man."
Chen Shu pouted, "Well, you're a little man now, and you still need your wet nurse to take care of you."
Chen Yu was clearly not as eloquent as Chen Shu, so she lowered her head and remained silent.
Chen Shu found it boring, but out of consideration for her younger brother, she kindly reminded him, "Being bad at talking can be a big problem. You should learn from your older sister."
Lin Chang'er laughed out loud at the little girl's antics, although she didn't think the little girl was wrong.
Perhaps hearing her laughter, Chen Shu pouted and asked, "What are you laughing at, Auntie? Did Shu-jie say something wrong?"
Lin Chang'er shook her head, "Shu'er is right. Shu'er also knows how to take care of her younger brother and is very responsible as an older sister."
Hearing herself praised, Chen Shu instantly became happy again, giggling and covering her face.
Lin Chang'er patted the two children's heads on either side. "Alright, we still have a long way to go from the city back to Linshui Village. Shu'er and Yu'er, take a nap first. Your aunt will wake you up when we get to town."
Otherwise, what if the two kids are grumpy when they get home and we wake them up?
The journey was smooth. Lin Chang'er had been traveling all day, and after the two children fell asleep, she also dozed off. When they arrived outside the town, it was Liu Zi who called her.
It was already late, and Lin Chang'er originally intended to pass through directly outside the town without entering. However, when she lifted the carriage curtain, she saw that the sky above the town had inexplicably turned red. Lin Chang'er was stunned for a moment before she realized that it wasn't just a patch of red, but rather a raging inferno...
