I want to make progress

Chapter 36: Chicken Baby
"But you, you ignored the expectations of your elders, didn't study hard and learn the rules, and even sneaked out to make trouble. The servants in the yard were looking for you everywhere. I was almost going crazy looking for you!"

"Other people's children are obedient and sensible, but why are you so disappointing? You don't learn serious things, but run out to eat, drink and have fun. Do you want to be a fool or a playboy when you grow up?
"You are the eldest son and daughter of the Duke of England. Whether it's me or your father, or your grandparents, we all have high hopes for you. Since you have enjoyed the wealth and power of the Duke of England, you must safeguard the dignity and interests of the Duke of England. You are not qualified to be willful. Tell me, who are you being worthy of by just thinking about playing around like this!"

"Mom, don't be angry. We were wrong."

"Mom, it's Qiuyi's fault. It was Qiuyi who ran away with her brother. Don't be angry."

Faced with such a hideous-looking mother, the two little guys were terrified. They grabbed their mother's clothes and apologized in fear and trepidation, like two frightened little animals. They were so weak and pitiful, yet they desperately begged for forgiveness.

This scene also made Shu Yunfu stunned. They just ran out to play for a while. Was it necessary to make such a big deal about it? Was it so serious? People who didn't know would think that the Duke of England's mansion was destroyed because of the two little guys sneaking out to play. Is it necessary to be so strict?

This is very much like those parents who are obsessed with pushing their children to do more. They put so much pressure on their children, using all kinds of moral kidnapping and self-admiration. If she remembered correctly, these two little kids were only four and three years old. Even if they were pushing their children to do more, it was too early.

These two little things look smart and clever, but I didn’t expect they were under so much pressure.

"That... Madam, it was indeed wrong for the young master and young lady to sneak out, but they are still young, there is no need to be so..."

"Aunt Shu!"

Feeling sorry for them, Shu Yunfu could not help but speak up and plead for the two little creatures. They looked so pitiful and not as cute as before. But she was interrupted by Liu's impatient frown halfway through her words.

"Thank you Aunt Shu for taking care of the two children today. I am very grateful. However, Qiuyi and Wenyu are my biological children. I am doing all this for their own good. Aunt Shu is still young and has never given birth. Naturally, she doesn't know how to teach children. Aunt Shu should not interfere."

Good guy, he said thank you, but the tone of his voice clearly told her: Mind your own business!

Although, this attitude was indeed not good, and she really didn't like this attitude, but after opening her mouth, Shu Yunfu still didn't say anything else.

These two little guys really looked pitiful, and she was overwhelmed with maternal love when she saw them, but, she is their mother. Although her tone was not very nice and her words did not sound very polite, but still, she is their mother!
Even if he was beaten, it was only natural. As an outsider, she had no right to interfere.

"My dear wife, don't be so angry. You've frightened the child."

However, outsiders could not interrupt, but the grandfather, the old Duke, was able to take care of it. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two little grandchildren, the old grandfather felt distressed. It is said that grandparents are closer than grandchildren. The old man was not so kind to his son back then. Now that he is very old, he can't bear to see his grandson frown.

"Father!"

At this moment, Liu's angry expression subsided a little, and she bowed respectfully to her father-in-law, "I was really too angry just now, I'm sorry."

"It's okay. I know you're worried about the two children."

The old Duke smiled and pulled the two children to his side, patting the two little guys' heads soothingly, "'Parents love their children and plan for their long-term future'. This anger is also for their own good. We all know that you have raised these two children very well over the years. Your mother and I have seen it, and Changting also agrees."

"But the two children are still young, and it's not a big deal if they play around occasionally. After all, the men in our Duke of England work so hard for nothing else but for our descendants to live freely." "Don't be too anxious. You should stop and rest occasionally, and don't tire yourself out."

The old Duke of England also attaches great importance to his grandson's education. After all, he is the eldest grandson and the only grandson, so how could he not pay attention to him.

However, his grandson is only three years old now and is still young. He is not in a hurry to learn anything. It is enough for his mother to arrange his enlightenment in literacy. Besides, his son is not a decoration. He still cares about Wen Yu and Qiu Yi. Although he doesn't care much about their food, clothing, housing and transportation, he does not give up on their reading and literacy.

Changting had carefully investigated and understood the enlightenment teacher and the nanny mentioned by his daughter-in-law, and they had also been approved by him. When the child grows up, he will have his own son to teach him personally. Changting's son is indeed better than his father.

So he understood Liu's desire for her son to become successful, but he also truly loved his two little grandchildren.

"Yes, thank you for your understanding, father. Your daughter-in-law knows."

Liu could ignore Shu Yunfu, but she dared not raise any objection to her father-in-law who was highly respected and had great power.

What's more, the old Duke gave Liu enough face and affirmed and praised her efforts, which made Liu very happy and even a little excited.

"Then... then Qiuyi can still go fishing with grandfather today?"

Although the little girl was small, she was very smart. When she saw her grandfather speaking, her mother's anger melted away and she immediately seized the opportunity to seek benefits for herself.

"And Wenyu! Wenyu also wants to accompany grandpa, grandpa~"

The little girl was smart. As the eldest grandson who was being cultivated and valued as the heir, it was impossible for Gu Wenyu to be inferior to her sister. She immediately hugged her grandfather's arm and squeezed into his arms to act coquettishly.

"Okay, okay! Let's all go fishing with grandpa, together!"

"That's great! Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Mom!"

"Thank you, Grandpa! Thank you, Mom!"

The two little guys' happy faces were as happy as flowers, and the little girl even blinked at Shu Yunfu imperceptibly.

Shu Yunfu was stunned for a moment, then was amused by the little girl. She responded by winking at her. This little thing is so cute!

With his grandson in his arms, the old Duke smiled from ear to ear, "My eldest daughter-in-law, why don't you go fishing and have some barbecue with us? You've worked hard managing the Duke's Mansion, so take a break. The barbecue made by Miss Shu is really good, you should try it too."

"Thank you for your understanding, father. However, I can't help my daughter-in-law. I still have a lot of things and accounts to deal with. I'll trouble you to pay more attention to Wen Yu and Qiu Yi."
