Chapter 471 One person does the work and one person takes the responsibility
When Yu Shui saw the empty cabinet, she turned around and reported to Wen Shubai with tears on her face.
It was all his fault. Yesterday he thought that if he took the things from the second young lady's room and put them in the cabinet, everything would be fine.
But last night the master stayed in the young master's room and didn't come back, so the second lady took advantage of the opportunity. She sneaked in at some point and took all the snacks back!
After hearing his voice, Wen Shubai walked forward to take a look, and indeed saw an empty cabinet and a chair with two footprints left on it.
Only then did he remember that he had asked Yu Shui to confiscate all of Xixi's snacks yesterday.
But he was in a good mood at the moment and didn't want to argue with the girl.
"It's okay, let her take it."
Yu Shui doubted his ears when he heard Wen Shubai say this. He asked in disbelief, "Master, is this matter just over like this? Are you really not going to punish the Second Young Miss?"
Wen Shubai flexed his wrist and said, "Then cancel her pocket money this month."
Originally, Xixi had one or two taels of silver in pocket money every month, which she could use to buy whatever she wanted.
But now, Wen Shubai felt that perhaps he shouldn't let her hold so much money anymore.
So that she won't buy random things.
At this moment, Xixi, who was sleeping together with Xiaonian, suddenly sneezed.
On the floor were the remnants of her snacks from last night.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Hearing Xixi sneeze, Xiaonian asked worriedly.
Xixi rubbed her nose and said, "I'm fine. Maybe I caught a cold last night."
She jumped out of bed and tried to clean up the debris on the ground before the rain noticed it.
But suddenly, she felt a pain in her teeth. She reached out to touch them and found that her front teeth were shaking.
"Ah, am I going to start losing my teeth?"
Xixi let out a wail.
An An is one year older than her. He hasn't even started to change his teeth yet, so how come he has started losing his teeth?
She felt that she didn't eat much sweets.
I just ate most of the snacks I secretly brought back.
When Xiao Nian heard her say this, he got up and walked in front of her.
Xixi opened her mouth again and said to Xiaonian, "Help me check my teeth."
Xiao Nian carefully scanned her mouth and said, "Sister, you have several broken teeth."
Xixi quickly covered her mouth.
"Shhh, don't let Dad know, or he will definitely not let me eat snacks."
Xiao Nian nodded more seriously, "Okay, I will definitely keep it a secret for my sister."
After quickly getting dressed, Xixi called Xiaonian over to clean the floor.
Just then, the door opened from the outside and Xixi quickly hid the broom behind her.
Xiao Nian followed her example and hurriedly hid the broom behind her.
But she was not tall, and when she put the broom behind her, it was taller than her, and the head of the broom suddenly appeared behind her.
Seeing this, Yu Shui asked curiously, "Are the Second and Third Miss sweeping the floor?"
Xixi took a step forward, trying to block the garbage on the ground, and nodded: "Yes."
But it was too late for her to stop him.
Wen Shubai, who came in with Yu Shui, had already seen the debris on the ground.
He looked at the table again and found that Xixi and Xiaonian had almost finished all the food last night!
Xixi threw the broom away and was about to pounce on Wen Shubai's thigh.
However, before she could get close, she was pushed away by Wen Shubai.
He called Xiao Nian over, and Xiao Nian walked forward nervously.
Xixi tried her best to wink at her, hoping that she would not betray herself.
Wen Shubai lowered his body and asked Xiao Nian, "What did you and your sister do last night?"
Xiao Nian's eyes were a little vague, and it was obvious that she was lying.
"I...I went to bed early with my sister last night and didn't do anything."
Xixi quickly agreed: "Yes, that's it."
Wen Shubai ignored Xixi and stood up.
"Good children don't lie, so Xiao Nian, what did you do last night? And what's going on on the ground?"
In fact, he knew it very well, but he just wanted them to admit it themselves.
Xiao Nian hesitated for a long time between "good boy" and "promise your sister". She finally chose to shut up and say nothing.
The air in the room seemed to be stagnant.
It was Yu Shui who spoke first: "Second Miss, I just saw you open the cabinet in the master's room and take something away. There were also footprints left on the chair."
Xixi's face immediately fell, and she muttered quietly: "I should have moved the chair away and wiped it."
After she finished speaking, she pinched herself to squeeze out a few tears.
"Daddy, I was so hungry last night that I secretly brought the food back. I did all this, and little sister Nian doesn't know!"
She takes responsibility for her own actions and will never implicate her sister.
"If you're hungry, eat well. You always buy so many snacks every time you come back. This time you're so bold that you even dare to steal things from my room."
Xixi was nervous and held up three fingers, "I promise, I won't do it again!"
"Heh." Wen Shubai sneered.
"It's too late now. You have no pocket money for this month."
"No wow, wuwuwu daddy you can't do this to me."
Xiao Nian lowered his sense of presence.
Wen Shubai glanced at Xiao Nian again and said slowly, "And Xiao Nian, don't let me find out that you're secretly giving your sister pocket money."
Xixi felt like the sky was falling when her last glimmer of hope was shattered.
She didn't have much money to begin with, and she was planning to buy some toys when her pocket money came in.
Gu Qingyuan, who learned about this, simply said that Wen Shubai did the right thing.
She began to reflect on whether she had spoiled Xixi too much.
Anyway, her mother has nothing to do after training at the general's mansion, so it would be better to send Xixi and Xiaonian to learn martial arts.
Gu Qingyuan did what he said. After lunch, he sent the two children to the general's mansion.
General Gu was about to take a nap when he saw Gu Qingyuan bringing the two children over. He asked her, "Qingyuan, what are you doing?"
Gu Qingyuan explained: "Xixi is on vacation recently, so I wanted her to learn martial arts with her mother. Besides, she is so naughty that even Ah Bai is so annoyed by her at home."
General Gu thought for a moment and said, "It just so happens that I don't have anything to do on weekdays, so I can help you take care of these two children."
She called Xia Zhi, who had previously taught Gu Qingyuan martial arts. Now, when she saw Gu Qingyuan's two children, she felt that time passed very quickly.
After leaving the two children behind, Gu Qingyuan went back.
One of her mother's concubines was the brother of Weiwei Lin, so in terms of seniority, he was still Xiaonian's elder.
After Gu Qingyuan left, General Gu picked up both children.
She asked Xixi and Xiaonian: "Have you eaten yet?"
The two men nodded.
