After I traveled through the book, I was spoiled by five little villains

"steamed stuffed bun?"

Qin Yaoguang looked at Madam Deng in confusion and asked, "Were there buns in the breakfast I just had?"

She also marveled at the complexity and exquisiteness of the breakfast at the princess's mansion. Each of the exquisite little plates contained a snack that she couldn't name, and there were definitely no buns in it, she was very sure.

"To answer your question, Your Highness, those buns are made for servants who do heavy work. They will have strength after eating them." said Madam Deng.

Qin Yaoguang was speechless and laughed at himself in his heart: How come I have become extravagant, corrupt and out of touch with reality in just one day?

Her diet must be prepared in a separate small kitchen, which is different from that of others. And from the tone of Madam Deng, even the servants are divided into different levels and their diets are different.

And the fifth child, no matter what, was the eldest princess's illegitimate son, but he was reduced to stealing food from the lowest-ranking servants. One can imagine what kind of life these five children led in the princess's mansion.

The "Fifth Young Master" as the servants called him could even lock up the guards in the woodshed without any permission.

What young master? His status is even lower than that of a slave.

Seeing that Chunfen was still waiting for her reply, Qin Yaoguang said, "I'll go take a look."

After the embroiderer had measured her body, Qin Yaoguang and her maid sat in a sedan chair, and the group headed towards Zhufeng Courtyard in a grand procession.

Zhufeng Courtyard, which means "walking on the waves and chasing the wind", was originally a very elegant courtyard, but now it is in ruins. Only the cold stream water, jagged rocks, and a few clumps of Xiang bamboo with yellow branches and leaves are left, swaying weakly in the autumn wind, and weeds are growing wildly from the cracks in the bluestone.

I didn't expect there would be such a dilapidated place in the princess's mansion.

Qin Yaoguang thought to herself: When she was touring the garden yesterday, Nanny Deng led her around the Zhufeng Courtyard but did not enter. These five children must have been a thorn in the original owner's side, and if she could avoid seeing them, she would not be allowed to see them to avoid any trouble.

Seeing the eldest princess appear at the gate, the drowsy old woman leaning against the wall was startled and quickly stood up and knelt to greet her.

In the yard, there was not even a servant sweeping the floor.

The guard stepped forward to lead the way, and Qin Yaoguang walked towards the woodshed. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lao Si hiding behind the pillar, secretly watching the movements here.

She looked calm, but she was actually going crazy inside: since she couldn't get rid of Zhou Qinghe immediately, she had to focus on the five children.

But who can tell her how to improve the relationship with them when the original owner abused the children for a long time? Waiting online, very urgent.

With zero parenting experience and being a newbie, he immediately took on a difficult challenge script.

If I had known I would travel through books, I should have read more parenting books in modern times.

Now that things have come to this, there is no point in regretting. I can only take one step at a time and cross the river by feeling the stones.

With a "clatter" sound, the guard opened the iron chain on the woodshed, stepped aside and said respectfully: "Your Highness, please step back a few steps."

The wooden door opened, and dust mixed with the stale smell in the house blew in, choking Bai Lu, who was standing at the front, and making her cough several times. Only then did Qin Yaoguang understand the guard's intention.

She was about to step inside, but then she realized that this was not in keeping with her status as the eldest princess, so she stood still and said, "Bring him out."

"Yes."

The guard strode in, but soon reappeared: "Your Highness, please forgive me, the fifth young master ran away."

Ran?

Qin Yaoguang tried hard to recall the plot of the original book. This shouldn't have happened. The fifth brother became a poison doctor only after he ran away from the house, but he didn't run away the day after the third brother was injured.

"Look around."

After giving the order, Qin Yaoguang looked around himself.

The firewood room is in the corner of the Zhufeng Courtyard, and the outer courtyard is just across the wall. Could it be that Lao Wu ran to the outer courtyard?

However, the wall in front of him was estimated to be two meters high, and an ordinary adult would need someone to help him climb over it. Qin Yaoguang thought about the small body of Lao Wu he saw yesterday, and he didn't have this ability at all.

It's almost like digging a dog hole.

Thinking of this, Qin Yaoguang moved his gaze downwards.

It would have been fine if she hadn't looked at it, but once she did, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Help him quickly."

Qin Yaoguang pointed at the wooden hole where the woodshed met the ground. The hole was not big. Lao Wu's head was already out, but his shoulders were stuck so tightly that he could not move.

He didn't know how long he had been stuck. He was exhausted and fell to the ground. When Qin Yaoguang found him, his face immediately turned red and he struggled hard.

"Don't move."

Qin Yaoguang was afraid that he would hurt himself, so he squatted down and said in the most gentle voice: "There are thorns on the board. I'll ask them to help you open it, but don't move."

She squatted down and realized that the hole was really small.

A stream was brought into the Zhufeng Courtyard as a landscape, but due to neglect, the long-term damp ground eroded the wooden walls of the woodshed. The wooden boards near the ground were damp and black, and covered with dark green moss.

I think the hole that Lao Wu crawled out of was made by him finding the most corroded place and smashing it open with firewood. The holes were filled with fresh wood stumps.

He is so smart, he deserves to be a poison doctor in the future.

Qin Yaoguang thought about it and touched his head, but Lao Wu shuddered in return, and his face, which was originally red due to the force, lost all its color.

Oh, sorry, she forgot that in the children's minds, she is still the evil stepmother.

She withdrew her hand somewhat awkwardly and warned him again, "Don't move."

Facts have proved that as long as it is her words, it doesn’t matter whether they are gentle or not, no one dares to disobey.

Lao Wu lay on the ground motionless. Two guards stepped forward and quickly enlarged the original hole with their swords. Lao Wu rolled out from inside and knelt on the ground to apologize: "Xiao Wu knows his fault. Please punish me, Your Highness the Princess."

A child who was only five years old, with such a thin body that he looked only three years old, knelt on the ground obediently to apologize, his little hands with frostbite shaking constantly because of fear.

Then think about the naughty kids she sees in modern times. They are full of energy and will make a fuss if they are not satisfied. The difference is even greater than that of the Mariana Trench.

Even though Qin Yaoguang had no experience in getting along with children, his heart melted when he heard him admit his mistake in such a baby voice.

She squatted down, stretched out her hand to help him stand up, looked into his eyes and said, "Tell me what you did wrong."

What went wrong?

Lao Wu's eyes were full of confusion. He only knew that if anything went wrong, he should admit his mistakes immediately, and perhaps he could escape punishment. He never thought about whether it was his own fault.

"His Highness is asking you a question, answer it quickly!" the guard shouted.

Lao Wu's body trembled. If Qin Yaoguang hadn't pulled him back, he would have knelt down again after just standing up.

At a corner not far from the crowd, three children hid behind the wall, sticking their heads out to look at the fifth child who was surrounded.

"Second brother, what should I do?"

The fourth child asked the second child with a pale face: "Will Xiaowu be beaten?"

The boss clenched his fists and panted heavily: "No one of you can stop me this time!"

He had all the strength, but every time he could only watch his younger brothers and sisters being punished and was unable to do anything.
