Her Tyrant Scumbag Dad Wanted Her Examined, and So Did Her Mother-She Really Wasn't Sick!

This is way too fast! My legs are about to snap! Do you think everyone has long legs like yours? What's so great about having long legs, anyway?

It's the middle of the night, and you won't even let me enjoy a nice bath.

Listening to Ye Tangtang's inward grumbling, Jun Yuyuan gradually slowed his pace. He said nothing along the way and led her all the way to the entrance of the Palace of Gathered Elegance.

"Go inside and sleep."

Ye Tangtang pointed at the hand on her arm. Jun Yuyuan was still holding the girl's arm.

Jun Yuyuan immediately let go and turned away, placing one hand behind his back.

"I'm going to bed. Thank you for bringing me back."

Ye Tangtang's voice was soft and sweet, making her sound like a harmless little girl.

"Wait. Is... is there something wrong with your head?"

Jun Yuyuan suddenly turned back to ask. If there was nothing wrong with her head, why would she go bathing in such cold weather?

The little girl looked perfectly normal, too.

Ye Tangtang wore a beaming smile, while inwardly cursing up a storm.

Jun Yuyuan, you're the one with something wrong with your head! Your whole family has something wrong with their heads!!

Jun Yuyuan: "..."

She was definitely the first woman who had ever dared to curse him.

"I'm perfectly normal. I'm not sick," Ye Tangtang said quietly.

"Mm, that was presumptuous of me. Go inside and rest. Don't come out to bathe in the middle of the night again."

Jun Yuyuan couldn't help adding that reminder. He sighed, turned, and left, his figure vanishing into the darkness in an instant.

Ye Tangtang's lovely dream was shattered outright. She secretly climbed in through the window, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep the moment her head hit the pillow.

After running herself ragged for half the night, she was back to square one overnight.

It was all Jun Yuyuan's fault!

Tang Tang, it's not as though you came away empty-handed. You drew lots of things this time: ice skates, a barbecue grill, and all kinds of snacks.

True. I'll go sell barbecue at the Royal Academy tomorrow.

Ye Tangtang kicked off her shoes, couldn't even be bothered to take off her clothes, and simply rolled over to sleep.

Not long after Ye Tangtang fell asleep, the door was pushed open, and Shen Qingqing tiptoed inside.

She slowly took off Ye Tangtang's clothes and tucked her blanket around her.

She remembered Tang Tang having her clothes off when she left earlier. Had she put them back on while sleepwalking in the middle of the night?

When Ye Tangtang woke early the next morning, she felt her little body and abruptly sat up. Where were her clothes?

Where had her clothes gone?!

She remembered not taking them off when she came back yesterday.

No way! Did some flower-plucking fiend sneak into my room and take off my clothes? Heaven help me, my innocence is gone!

Boohoo, waaah! Little Useless System, my innocence is gone! It must have been a flower-plucking fiend! He must have fallen for my peerless beauty!

Ye Tangtang lay on the bed, crying and making a fuss as she tossed and turned. Her innocence was gone, her innocence...

"Tang Tang."

Shen Qingqing pushed open the door, and Ye Tangtang threw herself at her, crying.

"Tang Tang, what happened? Why are you crying? Tell Mother. Who bullied you?"

"Mother, someone took off my clothes! Is my innocence gone? Did a flower-plucking fiend fall for my peerless beauty?"

Shen Qingqing: "..."

With that tiny body of yours, you don't even have a few ounces of flesh. Nobody would give you a second glance, silly daughter.

"Tang Tang, don't panic. Mother took off your clothes. I came to see you last night. Why had you put them back on?"

Ye Tangtang instantly stopped crying, her big, dark eyes darting around.

"Mother, I probably put them on while sleepwalking. Yes, sleepwalking! I had a dream, and I even went out for a run."

Shen Qingqing's brows knitted tightly. "Sleepwalking? Tang Tang, you were sleepwalking? Mother will have an Imperial Physician come examine you in a little while."

"No! Mother, I'm really not sick!"

Ye Tangtang was on the verge of tears. Her tyrant scumbag dad wanted her examined, and so did her mother. She really wasn't sick!

"All right, no examination. Today is your first day of school. Mother has already prepared your clothes and your little cloth bag."

"Huh? I still have to go to school?"

Ye Tangtang flopped flat on her back on the bed. Just let her die.

In the end, her own mother still dragged her out and dressed her in a pretty little white-and-pink padded jacket and skirt, with a fluffy scarf and a little white cloth bag on her back. She really did look like a beautiful little princess.

Ye Tangtang looked herself up and down in the bronze mirror. She actually looked all proper and respectable.

Was this really her?

Shen Qingqing combed her daughter's hair and made her look lovely.

"Tang Tang is so pretty. Once you're at school, study hard and listen carefully to the Grand Tutor."

Ye Tangtang nodded. "I know, Mommy dearest. I'll behave."

"What a good girl."

Shen Qingqing cupped her daughter's pretty little face and kissed her, only to have those words slapped right back in her face the next second.

Hahahaha! I'll start fights when I get there and make the Grand Tutor cry with rage. Then he'll definitely expel me! Hehehe, I'm such a little genius.

Then I won't have to go to school anymore. I can stay home eating, drinking, having fun, and sleeping.

My ultimate dream! A salted fish!! A salted fish!!! A salted fish!!!!

Shen Qingqing: "..."

While Ye Tangtang was happily imagining it all, she received another smack on the bottom.

"Mommy dearest, why did you hit me?"

Looking utterly aggrieved, Ye Tangtang burrowed into her mother's arms and nuzzled against her vigorously.

Waaah~ So soft~ Snuggles with Mother.

Shen Qingqing pulled the little girl out of her arms and looked at that innocent face. Just what was going through her head?

"Tang Tang, could you behave yourself? We've only just left the Cold Palace, and so many eyes are watching us. You mustn't fight at school."

Ye Tangtang blinked her big eyes innocently. "Mother, I'm so well-behaved. How could I possibly get into fights?"

"Mm, Mother believes you. I'll take you there after breakfast."

"Okay."

Ye Tangtang swept through the meal like a gale scattering clouds, leaving almost nothing on the table. Shen Qingqing, who had only taken two bites, said, "..."

"Tang Tang, Mother is worried you'll get hungry. Take all the little pastries the kitchen made."

Still worried about her daughter, Shen Qingqing prepared several more packets of pastries and put them in the little cloth bag. The heavy bag was full of food, without a single book.

Ye Tangtang glanced at the ugly little cloth bag with some disdain. Next time, she absolutely had to draw a cute little bunny bag!

Then she headed to the Royal Academy with a huge bag of food on her back.

The Royal Academy, also known as the Imperial Academy, was the most prestigious school in the entire imperial capital. Only members of the imperial family and the children of officials of the fourth rank or higher could enroll.

"That's her. I heard she just came out of the Cold Palace and was even granted the title of Princess Chaoyang. She stole our Third Princess's thunder."

"Right. Let's teach her a proper lesson for the Third Princess first. She's so scrawny I could send her flying with one punch."

Two youths approached from ahead. One wore white, looking refined and handsome. He was Lu Wuyou, the third son of the Lu family.

The other wore a blue robe and looked somewhat rough-hewn. He was Song Jinshi, the second son of the Song family.

"You're the one who bullied the Third Princess?" Song Jinshi blocked Ye Tangtang's path aggressively.

Ye Tangtang nodded, looking delicate and frail, though inwardly she was already blooming with laughter.

Well, well, well. If it isn't the Third Princess's number-one bootlicker, Lu Wuyou, and her number-two bootlicker, Song Jinshi. Your endings are each more miserable than the last.
