Chongfei Manual [I]

Chapter 34

He had such a big appetite.

Wei Luo held her check as she silently thought. She had seen Wei Chang Mi, so there wasn't a reason for them to stay. Just as Ah Luo decided to go back with Chang Hong, a person with phoenix eyes that was wearing deep purplish-red clothes and suede boots suddenly came inside the room in a rush.

It was Wei Zheng.

Wei Zheng's face was pale. Ah Luo didn't know if it was because of the windy weather outside or another reason. Wei Zheng stayed by the door as she huffed and puffed until she regained her breath, and then she looked around the room. Her eyes stopped at the infant held in Qin-shi's arms. Without saying a word, she ran over to them.

Qin-shi asked why Wei Zheng why she was here. Wei Chang pursed her lips and reached out to grab Wei Chang Mi!

In surprise, Qin-shi held the child tighter. However, Wei Zheng wouldn't let go.

Qin-shi was worried that they would accidentally injure the child by their tug of war, so she could only temporarily loosen her hold, but her tone of voice was strict, "Ah Zheng, what are you doing?"

After Wei Zheng had snatched away Wei Chang Mi, she wrathfully glared at the people in the room, "He's my younger brother. He's my mom's child, not yours! I'm going to bring him back to my mom.

Since Wei Zheng was still young, she didn't know how to properly hold a baby, so Wei Chang Mi was very uncomfortable. He was only an infant. When he was uncomfortable, there was only one way he could express it. Crying. Wei Chang Mi loudly cried without stopping in her arms. His cries were heartbreaking.

Qin-shi hurriedly walked forward and said, "Chang Mi is crying. Give him to the wet nurse quickly. Be good Ah Zheng. Your younger brother is still small. If you hold him like that, he'll get hurt..."

Wei Zheng shook her head, tightly held the infant, and said, "I won't. I won't give him to you. My mom is very heart-broken without my younger brother. She was crying!" After she said this, she turned around to go outside. Wei Chang Mi had cried until he was out of breath. He impatiently looked at Qin-shi with a pitiful expression.

Qin-shi hurriedly gestured for the servant girls to stop Wei Zheng. But, Wei Zheng's body was small and her movements were nimble. She ducked her head and avoided the servant girls' hands.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was about to reach the porch, Qin-shi became angry. Just as she was about to tell a servant to go inform Wei Kun, she saw Wei Zheng suddenly stopping.

Qin-shi questionably walked forward. When she reached Wei Zheng, she saw the reason.

Since Wei Chang Mi had just finished drinking milk and was held uncomfortably, he had vomited up the milk. This little fellow's vomited milk was all over Wei Zheng's neck and clothes. Knowing that Qin-shi was near, he babbled and cried.

Qin-shi took Wei Chang into her arms and looked at the completely dismayed Wei Zheng.

Without a better option, she told the servant girls, "Bring fifth miss inside and change her clothes. In the future, when fifth miss visits Plum Courtyard, notify me first."

The servant girls led Wei Zheng away.

From not far away, Ah Luo couldn't hold back her laughter anymore as she was leaving. She held her stomach as she laughed. Her laughter was melodious and clear and her smile was bright.

Wei Zheng turned around to fiercely glare at her in humiliation and anger.

When Wei Kun returned from Imperial Hanlin Academy, it was dusk. The multicolored sunset was brilliant. The red and orange radiance was scattered over the glazed roof tiles. The entire Duke Ying's residence was enveloped inside the rising, rosy clouds.
