Chapter 249 He is younger than you
Mu Yuxi stiffened, she didn't know that the incident that she caused yesterday was seen by the third Chu sister, not only did she see Mu Yuxi chasing Fang Chi, but she also witnessed the scene where Mu Yuxi was slapped by him. Third sister Chu was disdainful of Mu Yuxi just like her elder sisters, though it was true that Mu Yuxi was a smart woman when it came to business strategies but being smart wasn't enough to start a decent business, a capital was also important and that capital was given to her by them on the promise that she will treat their brother Chu Chang properly and will never take another husband in her backyard. How can they sit still once they found out that Mu Yuxi was actually breaking the promise she made to them?
They not only sent a letter to Chu Chang to warn him to take proper care of his wife but they also sent a letter to Mu Xuan in which they asked her to take care of Mu Yuxi and remember the promise that their family made to theirs. After receiving such an explicit warning, how can Mu Xuan not understand what they were trying to tell her?
But before she could have a chance to talk to Mu Yuxi, the latter was beaten up by someone and now she was insisting that the person who did this was Yu Dong. If her daughter was speaking the truth then going by Yu Dong's temperament she would not sort about trouble for no reason at all, and if her daughter incited trouble that pushed Yu Dong to make a move then the only thing that she can think of was - " Did you sort out Fang Chi when you were at town yesterday?"
" So what if I did?" Mu Yuxi understood that there was no way she would be able to lie to her mother now that the Chu family sent her a letter. Those three bitches were still just as same as before always poking their noses in her business, was she their sister in law or their dog? Even the Empress allowed the women to take several husbands despite their title or living standards, so why was it that she was being kept on such a close leash? "It's because of you mother that I couldn't marry Fang Chi back then, if you didn't stop me from marrying him then I wouldn't have to do what I am doing now!"
Mu Xuan stared at her daughter who was blaming her with an expression of extreme stubbornness on her face and sighed as she pinched the bridge of her nose and chuckled, " if you are going to blame me for this then you should at least remember that I refused to let you get married to Chu Chang either, when you brought your father and me to meet him, the first thing that his sister said to us was that we will never let you get married to another mer except him no matter what, only on that condition were they willing to marry their brother to you, at that time I refused but you came and begged me to let you marry Chu Chang since he hailed from a family that had powerful relations in the capital. I told you back then that you won't be able to keep your promise, you are my daughter and I know you the best but you insisted." Glancing at Mu Yuxi with a cutting gaze that was enough to make her shiver Mu Xuan further added, " this was your decision and not marrying Fang Chi was also your decision, if you have further insisted as you did in the case of Chu Chang would I have refused? Yet you didn't its true that I found him not worthy of you but I wasn't fond of Chu Chang either the first time. It's just because of the insistence that I allowed you to get married to him…how is that my fault? If you are going to blame. I am afraid that you have to can only blame yourself."
Pausing she pondered about it for a second and then added, " You know what, it's better for you to forget about the matter altogether since you can't do anything about it anyway."
After finishing off what she has to say, Mu Xuan glanced at Mu Yuxi and turned around to leave, there was nothing else she could tell her daughter, it would be best if she would just take her advice and just let go of this matter and not commit mistakes like her.
Mu Yuxi clenched her fist and screamed in frustration. How can she just forget about this! There was no way she can leave the matter as it was!

" You want me to leave?"Yu Dong polished all the rest of her breakfast and gulped a glass of strawberry milk. Ever since the strawberries in the backyard bloomed, this has become her favourite.
" Yes," said Chen Mi as he fed little bun the goat milk. His expression was full of determination as little bun has learned to smack things that he found annoying as he did a second later since he didn't get his promised milk pudding and was being fed boiled milk. Staring sourly at the spoon that was filled with goat milk, little bun banged his tiny fists on the high chair that Yu Dong had custom ordered and babbled a number of incoherent words which Chen Mi correctly translated.
" I told you, it's too early for you to eat milk pudding."
" Waba daba boo."
" I know I promised but I don't want you to get an upset stomachache!"
" Ahbu baba dabaa,"
" You think you know your body but I am your daddy, I know about your body better than you do! Don't fight me on this!"
" Auuu!"
" oh daddies are just a different species" mused Yu Dong as she stood up from her chair and wiped her face with a wet towel, " I can never understand a thing he says as you do."
Chen Mi proudly grinned as he dodged another attack and successfully fed little bun another spoonful of milk, " Well, of course. He came out of me, so if I don't understand what goes in his head who will?" Then he took the spoon away from the little bun and handed him a milk candy that of course came from Yu Dong's space, " anyway, don't take me wrong. But Brother Chi is coming today if you stay here, then the villagers will once again gossip, it won't be good for us!"
Yu Dong saw his serious expression and almost laughed, she pinched his chubby cheeks and teased, " Look at you, you have grown so much. Now you are even taking care of someone."
Chen Mi pulled back as he rolled his eyes and said " well, of course, I am getting a younger brother so I will have to grow up too right!"
"Younger brother? Your daddy is pregnant? Why didn't you tell me?"
( daddy Chen: that's not it, that's not it!)
Pulling a long face, Chen Mi pouted. " What do you mean by this? Isn't brother Chi my younger brother? He is marrying you after me- that means he is younger than me! Since he will be your fourth husband while I am the third!"
Thunderclap resounded in the background as Yu Dong's smile turned stiff. ' but he is older than you by three years!'
