Transmigration Of Mian [Reluctantly] Becomes His Man [Wife] (穿越之勉为其男)

Chapter 171: Commandery Prince Mu

Qin Mian's heart almost jumped to his throat. It might be cruel to say this to the children so early, but it was really a problem that two children have to face.

Yuanyuan raised his little face, disapprovingly, "Old Dad, we know we don't have a mother. We've known that since we were one-year-old."

Qin Mian was so amused that he thought to himself: Son, are you sure you're sensible when you're one-year-old?

"So what? Old Dad and Dad are so powerful. Other people can't have two fathers even if they want! We don't need a mother. It's enough to have Old Dad and Dad." Manman stuck out his small chest with a proud look.

Yuanyuan went to Qin Mian and stood on tiptoe to kiss his cheek. The small paralyzed face was dyed with a layer of blush, "Dad, don't worry."

Manman, unwilling to be outdone, kissed Qin Mian on the other cheek.

Qin Mian was instantly cured by his two sons. He gathered them in his arms and laughed, "Good, as expected of my sons! You remember this: if someone calls you names, you will return it with no swearwords!"

Lei Tie shook his head slightly and didn't interrupt.

"If someone hits you, hit back without being polite!" Qin Mian looked angry as if his sons had been beaten.

A smile flashed past in Lei Tie's eyes.

Yuanyuan patted his agitated Dad placatingly and said with a calm manner, "Dad knows what is 'subdue the enemy without fighting'? Rest assured."

"Fighting is a disgrace to the educated class." Manman waved his hand and said, "Dad knows what is 'murder a person with a borrowed knife'? Rest assured."

The corner of Qin Mian's mouth twitched.

Lei Tie patted the two small ones' shoulders in compliment and held the big one in his arms. "I've said it: the sons are very smart."

Qin Mian was quite at a loss for a reply, but he finally laid down his worry.

Early the next morning, just after the rabbit hour began [5 AM], Qin Mian heard the sound of Lei Tie wearing clothes. He half-opened his eyes in a daze, but his brain still hadn't woken up. "A-Tie, what..."

Lei Tie leaned over him and gave him a kiss on his lips. "Sleep on. Going to Court today."

"Oh, take care..." Qin Mian obtusely remembered that Emperor Xiaohui only gave Lei Tie three days off. He hooked the man's neck and kissed him on the lips. After he wriggled into the quilt, he closed his eyes. His foot was exposed outside the quilt.

Lei Tie put it back into the quilt, finished dressing, and went to the outdoor training ground to practice two sets of boxing. Then, he went back to the washroom to bathe and change clothes, put on his court dress, and went out with his two attendants.

Qin Mian listened to his steps gradually distancing, opened his eyes, lifted the quilt, and got up. After he had washed up, practiced [martial], bathed, and changed clothes, it was already the beginning of the dragon hour [7 AM]. Afterward, he went to the two children's rooms.

Although the two children were young, they developed good living habits just like their fathers. When Qin Mian arrived, they both had gotten up, dressed, and finished washing up.

Qin Mian watched them finish practicing [martial] with the four study-attendants. After they bathed and put on clean clothes, he had breakfast with them.

By this time, the sky had already brightened.

Considering that the boys were to be raised roughly, Qin Mian only sent them to the carriage. The carriage was allocated by the Imperial Court to the State Defender Duke Establishment according to the regulations. Afterward, it was especially used to transport Yuanyuan and Manman to and from school. When passers-by saw the carriage of the State Defender Duke Establishment, they would step aside and not likely affront it. It was kind of a safeguard for Yuanyuan and Manman.
