Long Have I Heard That You and the Crown Prince Are Quite Close-Could You Two Be, Ahem Ahem!!

"Uncle!"

Little Huzi came running over at full speed.

After Zeng Rongyu returned from the Dao Sect, she had gradually grown accustomed to living at the Duke's Mansion.

During this time, Huzi's master, Xu Mingxin of the Profound Formation Division, had followed the Imperial Court's army to the border to attack Myriad Demon Mountain.

Thus, Huzi's lessons at the Profound Formation Division had fallen upon Sai Chuxue during this period.

"Huzi!"

Zeng Anmin smiled as he scooped Huzi into his arms, teasing in his gaze.

"Did you miss Uncle?"

"I did!!"

Huzi nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice.

"Hehe."

Zeng Anmin gently rubbed Little Huzi's head, then looked at Zeng Rongyu beside him with a smile.

"Cousin, you truly know how to teach him. Huzi looks much more obedient than before."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Rongyu's expression darkened slightly. She first shot Huzi an unfriendly glare, then looked at Zeng Anmin apologetically.

"I only learned recently just how lawless Huzi used to be in the manor."

"Fortunately, I did not return too late. If we waited until he grew up before disciplining him, it would have been too late."

It was not easy for someone who was not his birth mother to be harsh with him.

When Concubine Lin had raised Huzi, she had treated him as her own son. Yet she was not his birth mother after all, so indulgence had always come first.

Now that Cousin had returned and seen how wildly Huzi behaved in the manor, she had not hesitated to whip him with a leather lash dipped in cold water. She had finally corrected some of his bad habits.

"If Cousin had been around earlier, Huzi probably would not have dared to knock a monk on the head with a wooden sword."
