The Comeback of the Charming Farmer's Wife-Chapter 2367 - 23069: I Rely on Connections

"Hey!" Yangyang laughed, yanking him up by the back of his collar, "What’s your name?"

"Let go of me!" Luo Hongjun struggled desperately, his feet kicking wildly, "Big guy, let go of me. Do you know whose son I am?"

Yangyang raised an eyebrow, "Oh? You want to compare dads with me? Compare with my dad, Ye Batian?"

"I’m not comparing dads, I’m comparing connections. My grandfather is a State Duke, my father is a Lord Marquis, my uncle is the Emperor, my eldest uncle is a Lord Marquis, my eldest cousin is a prince, my second cousin is a General..."

"I am your second cousin!" Hearing the little guy list off, Yangyang already knew who he was. "Considering I’m your connection, I won’t hold this against you, you cheeky rascal."

Luo Hongjun’s eyes widened suddenly, "You’re my second cousin? But why aren’t you wearing armor?"

"Why would I wear armor when I’m not in the army?"

Yangyang disdainfully threw him to the ground and went over to support Yang Chuxia, "Mother, have you been well these past years?"

"Good! Everything’s good!"

"You’re always so quick to slip away, aren’t you?" Ye Zi’an came back, smiling, in a very good mood.

"Handsome Dad!" Just like when he was little, he rushed over the moment he saw Ye Zi’an.

Ye Zi’an, however, found his clinginess annoying, and pushed him back with one hand, "The Emperor asked about you after the morning court session, wanted to have a few words with you, but you slipped away."

"I was in a hurry to come back and see my mother." Yangyang hugged Ye Zi’an’s arm, "He’ll only ask about the military camp anyway; we can talk about that later."

"You finally want to see your mother now? What were you doing before?" Ye Zi’an gave him a sidelong glance.

"Handsome Dad, please don’t bring that up, or Mother will twist my ear again."

"Serves you right!" Lele laughed and scolded, "Who told you to disappear for four years!"

Lele was in the study earlier, and only knew Yangyang was back when a servant told him.

"Brother!"

The brothers embraced, "Brother, did you miss me?"

"Not bad!" Lele looked him over; there’s something inherently different about those who have been through the bloodshed. His gaze was sharp, and his stance firm.

"Brother, you haven’t told me if you missed me." Yangyang pressed him again.

Lele rubbed his forehead; why did he feel like he was back in childhood?

"You’re all grown up and still talking about missing someone, isn’t that embarrassing?" Lele was still comparatively reserved, too shy to say such things.

Yangyang burst out laughing, "Brother, you’re so bashful, how will you ever help me find a sister-in-law in the future?"

Inside the house, Yueyue and Qingqing came running over too.

"Second Brother, Second Brother..." Qingqing, now a thirteen-year-old boy, still carried a bit of admiration for Yangyang, staring at him continuously. Yueyue, on the other hand, was very calm, sitting quietly to the side, listening to them talk.

"Yueyue, Qingqing."

"Second Brother, are you leaving again?"

"Why do you ask?" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

"I want to go with you too," Qingqing said, "Can I go catch bandits with you?"

Before Yangyang could reply, Yang Chuxia interjected, "Don’t even think about it. It’s enough that one from our family went to the battlefield, there’s no need to bring another."

"Mother..." Qingqing pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Even if you call for your father, it won’t help." Yang Chuxia snorted, "If it weren’t for your second brother running fast, he wouldn’t have made it! And if it weren’t for his current reputation, he wouldn’t be able to leave the Capital City this time either."
