Chapter 1045: Reluctance Chapter 1045: Reluctance Editor: Atlas Studios By the ti Governor Yan gathered the five children together, sweating profusely, the sun was about to set.
He was so tired that he couldn’t even straighten his back.
However, the five children giggled happily, treating this as a ga of hide-and-seek, making Governor Yan almost vomit blood.
After playing hide-and-seek alongside the kids and his father for a long ti, Yan Ying was no longer afraid of his father.
Seeing that he was so tired that he was massaging his legs, he even went forward to massage him in an act of filial piety.
“Father, do rest for a while before continuing to catch us.” Governor Yan moved his hand, but he did not pinch his son’s ear to teach him a lesson.
Instead, he said kindly, “Go ho first.
Your grandmother and mother haven’t seen you for the entire day and are worried about you.
I’ll send the four Young Masters back.” Yan Ying looked at his friends reluctantly and asked, “Are you still coming to play with tomorrow?” Although Little An and the others also had fun running around, they didn’t forget that their original intention was to rescue Yan Ying from the place.
Seeing that Yan Ying couldn’t tell friend from foe, they rolled their eyes at him and said, “We’re not playing.
We’re saving you.
If you go back with your father, you won’t be able to see us again.” Seeing that they were publicly sowing discord between father and son, Governor Yan was so angry that he picked up his youngest son and stuffed him into the attendant’s arms.
“Hurry up and bring the young master back.
Get soone to keep an eye on him.
Don’t let him go into the garden again.” ‘If you can’t even leave the room, let’s see how you can sneak away.’ Yan Ying was stunned for a mont before he reacted.
Leaning over, he was about to grab Little Lion when the attendant hurriedly carried him away.
Yan Ying started wailing.
“Little Lion, save quickly, save —” He cried miserably.
Tiger Head was furious and was about to rush over to save him.
Seeing this, Governor Yan hurriedly called for the servants to stop him and advised earnestly, “Young Master, I’ve already asked soone to inform His Highness.
He’ll be here soon.” Tiger Head stomped his feet.
“Then why aren’t you letting Yan Ying go?
Else, I’ll get my Father King to beat you up when he’s here.” Governor Yan’s lips twitched.
“Young Masters, Yan Ying is my son.
I won’t hurt him.
If you want to play with him, you can co again tomorrow.
However, you have to walk through the main door.
Also, you’re not allowed to bring him out of the residence without our permission.” Stunned, Tiger Head looked at him and then at Yan Ying, who was getting further and further away and crying miserably.
He didn’t know if he should believe Governor Yan.
Governor Yan said helplessly, “Could it be that your Father King will hurt you?” Tiger Head shook his head.
“Exactly.
I treat Yan Ying the sa way that your Father King treats you.” Little An went forward and pulled Tiger Head back.
“Don’t believe him.
Would Fourth Uncle stuff you into soone else’s arms when you’re crying so miserably?” Tiger Head, who had just been convinced, looked at Governor Yan covetously.
Governor Yan heaved a long sigh and looked behind the four children, tears almost flowing down his face.
“Your Highness, you’re finally here.” The four children hurriedly turned around to take a look.
Qi Haoran got off his horse and pinched the indignant Tiger Head.
With a smile, he asked, “What’s going on?” Seeing the identical smiles on the father-and-son duo, Governor Yan was even more furious.
However, knowing he was of a lower status, he could only suppress his anger and smile.
“Your Highness, you ca at the right ti.
I’ll leave the four Young Masters to you.” Governor Yan wanted to turn around and leave, but when he thought of the outco of the discussion with his colleagues today, he felt stifled again.
He was really muddle-headed from anger to have nearly forgotten about this important matter.
He could only turn around and say to Qi Haoran seriously, “Your Highness, let send you and your sons back.” Qi Haoran blinked and smiled.
“Don’t worry, Lord Yan.
I’ll keep an eye on them.
I won’t let them run out again today.” Governor Yan’s lips twitched.
‘So your promise is expiring by the end of today?
But seeing as the sun is about to set, isn’t this day almost over?’ “Your Highness, I happen to have sothing to report to Magistrate Fan.” “Oh, let’s go together then.” Qi Haoran didn’t ask what trouble the four children had gotten into today and directly dragged them back.
If there was anything, he would deal with it when they returned ho.
Punishing the kids on the streets would only give others a show to watch.
Although he said that he had sothing to discuss with Fan Zijin, Qi Haoran was actually involved.
Governor Yan expressed that they were willing to take the initiative to make up for the tax, but they could only make up for it for two years at most.
Any more than that and he feared people would die of heartache.
He silently gave the na list to the two of them and said that it would take so ti to tidy up the accounts, at least three to four days.
This being a favorable situation that neither Fan Zijin nor Qi Haoran had expected, they happily promised that they would protect those officials on the list.
At the very least, they would not lose their positions and lives in this political storm.
Governor Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
This was all they wanted for their proactiveness.
Governor Yan was about to leave after discussing so details with the two of them.
After thinking for a mont, he said to the two of them, “My youngest son has been pampered by my mother since he was young.
It’s inevitable that his body is a little weak, so I’m afraid he can’t play with the Young Masters very well.” Fan Zijin blinked, not understanding.
However, the corners of Qi Haoran’s lips twitched.
He understood that Governor Yan did not welco the Qi children to play with his son.
Qi Haoran felt disdain in his heart.
‘Countless people are eager to play with my bubbly and adorable sons.
It’s your son’s loss.’ With this ntality, Qi Haoran waved his hand and said, “Lord Yan, don’t worry.
I’ll definitely keep a close eye on my kids and not let them disturb Young Master Yan.” Governor Yan heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed before retreating.
He was afraid.
He was afraid that his son would only know how to climb walls and trees after hanging out with the Young Masters for too long.
However, Governor Yan miscalculated.
Even without Little An and the others, his youngest son had already beco obsessed with climbing trees and walls.
Every day, when Governor Yan went to work, the boy would run to the foot of the wall to practice with the manservant.
Obviously, Qi Haoran could not make the decision for his sons.
After expressly ordering that they were not allowed to play with Yan Ying again, Qi Haoran asked Xiao Ting to keep an eye on them, then simply left them alone.
The four children applied the words ‘obedience on the surface but disobedience on the inside’ to the extre.
When Qi Haoran told them not to do sothing, they agreed obediently.
But once Qi Haoran left, they went running around the streets.
And since Xiao Ting couldn’t keep an eye on them all the ti, the four children could always find an opportunity to sneak to the vicinity of the Yan Residence.
After continuous efforts, Yan Ying, who was within the walls, finally received a letter from the four children, telling him to sneak under the wall at a certain ti on a certain day.
Thus, he instructed the manservant to set up a ladder for him.
Seeing the boy climb to the top, the manservant thought that he would just lean against the wall and sigh before coming down like the previous two days.
Unexpectedly, this ti, the young master climbed to the top of the wall.
The manservant hurriedly shouted, “Young Master, you can’t climb up.
It’s dangerous!” Under his gaze, Yan Ying not only climbed up the wall, but also slid down it and disappeared from his sight.
The manservant was stunned for a mont before he let out a cry and climbed up the ladder.
When he reached the top of the wall, he only caught a glimpse of his young master before he disappeared from sight with the four children.
However, the manservant heaved a huge sigh of relief at seeing that his young master didn’t fall.
That was close, that was close!
