Chapter 1492: Let’s Talk

Colonel Ye’s wife had just finished speaking when the other military wives nodded in agreement. They looked angry too.

“That’s right, Colonel Lu. That wild child had swindled all of our children. Yes, he is a child, but he is too infuriating,” one of the military wives said.

“He has been beaten and scolded. That should be enough, right?” Jiang Yao looked at the child’s red, swollen cheeks; she pitied him.

The child had no parents and was wandering on the streets. He was too pitiful.

Even though he had done some bad things, he was still a child. No one should be so ruthless toward a child.

As soon as Jiang Yao opened her mouth, the people around her realized her presence. They guessed that she must be with Colonel Lu, though no one knew her identity. Perhaps she was his sister. So, no one dared to talk back to her.

Lu Xingzhi said, “Go and get a set of my clothes.”

Jiang Yao sighed, nodded, and went back with the two apples in her hands. She took a set of clothes that Lu Xingzhi rarely wore. She guessed Lu Xingzhi’s intention and brought a pair of scissors with her.

When Lu Xingzhi saw that Jiang Yao had an extra pair of scissors in her hand when she returned, he praised Jiang Yao with his eyes. She was really smart.

Lu Xingzhi took the clothes and compared them with the child’s height. Then, he cut them up before he told the two soldiers to release the child. He helped the child out of his clothes and into the new one. Then he returned them to Colonel Ye’s son.

“Colonel Lu, you are too kind-hearted. Those clothes still look so new, and you cut them up just like that,” Colonel Ye’s wife said sourly. She did not envy Colonel Lu for throwing away such a good set of clothes. However, she had to suppress the anger in her heart as that man had obstructed her from teaching that wild child a lesson. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ ɴo(v)elꜰɪre.ɴet

After the child had changed his clothes, Lu Xingzhi led the child away. He led the child by the collar while his other hand held Jiang Yao’s hand. Without saying anything, he left Colonel Ye’s courtyard.

Jiang Yao did not quite understand why Lu Xingzhi wanted to bring the child home. However, she still closed the courtyard door. She did not want anyone to follow them home.

“Go inside the house and rest for a while. I’ll talk to him.” Lu Xingzhi led Jiang Yao into the house before taking the child to a corner to lecture him.

“I have nothing to say to you!”

The little boy straightened his back and shouted. Then, the angry eyes that glared at Lu Xingzhi instantly calmed like a rabbit.

One should not underestimate the ability of a vagabond to observe a person’s words and expressions. With so many people in the courtyard, the little boy immediately ran toward Jiang Yao and hid behind her. He raised his head and said, “Sister, I don’t want to talk to that uncle!”

Zhou Weiqi burst into laughter. “The lady you called Sister is that uncle’s wife. Do you know what wife means?”

Lu Xingzhi’s patience ran thin. He was not prepared to discuss anything with the little boy. He dragged the boy behind Jiang Yao to a corner.

There was no need to be gentle with a wolf cub, and that little boy was undoubtedly a wolf cub in Lu Xingzhi’s eyes.
