In fact, most boys of Fu Nian’s age are over 1.2 meters tall, but because of long-term malnutrition and being often ordered by Chu Rong to do rough work before dawn, Fu Nian is less than 1.1 meters tall due to poor eating and sleeping. His arms and legs combined are not even as thick as an adult’s arms.

　　Chu Rong understood that Fu Nian hated her deeply, but she knew that it took a lot of courage for Fu Nian to bite her. If it was the original owner, who knows how she would torture him after biting her like that. He would definitely know this, but the little guy still chose this method of venting that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.

　　Chu Rong just let him vent his anger. At worst, the worst that could happen was that the kid would bite off a piece of her flesh. It was better than being sent to a mental hospital by his father in the end.

　　But Fu Nian did not really bite off a piece of her flesh. After he bit Chu Rong until she bled, he loosened his teeth.

　　”You’re not my mother.”

　　A weak but stubborn voice firmly expressed his thoughts. After biting, Fu Nian hugged his knees and curled up. He knew he might face a beating, but he accepted it calmly. He took a defensive posture like a little hedgehog, waiting for Chu Rong’s judgment and punishment.

　　Chu Rong’s arm was already covered in blood, but the bite she suffered was not as severe as the damage inflicted by the original owner on the two brothers Fu Nian and Fu Yu. She could cry out in pain, but she could not cry out for injustice.

　　Fu Nian hugged himself and waited for Chu Rong’s beating, but the slaps and nails he imagined did not fall as he imagined. No one slapped his head or pinched his arms. After an unknown amount of time, Fu Nian suddenly felt a slightly cool body pressing against him. He clenched his teeth to suppress his trembling, but the expected pain did not come. Instead, he was gently picked up by someone.

What?

　　Fu Nian, who had not been hugged for a long time, was stunned. He looked up subconsciously, only to see the most familiar pointed chin. He would never make a mistake, because many times, when he looked up at the woman scolding him, he saw this chin, just like a witch.

　　It was Chu Rong, Chu Rong picked him up.

　　It shouldn’t be a hug, to be exact, it was picking him up.

　　Fu Nian’s thin face was full of disbelief. What was she trying to do? Why was she still hugging him?

　　Fu Nian’s first reaction was that Chu Rong had come up with some new way to torture him, such as picking him up and throwing him downstairs, or…

　　Although Fu Nian was young, he had already been matured because of Chu Rong’s long-term abuse. He had thousands of guesses about Chu Rong’s behavior, and each guess was that Chu Rong would do something crazy to him. However, when Fu Nian guessed the fourteenth possibility, Chu Rong put him down, because they had unknowingly reached the dining room on the first floor. Chu Rong had achieved his goal, so there was no need to hold Fu Nian any longer.

　　There was steaming hot breakfast on the dining table. The cook was keeping the food warm, waiting for the two little masters to be released by the lady so that they could have a bite of the hot meal right away.

　　Wu Can came down one step ahead. He followed Chu Rong’s instructions, put Fu Yu on the chair, and stood aside without saying a word.

　　Little Dumpling Fu Yu was waiting at the dining table feeling very uncomfortable because Wu Can was standing next to him and he didn’t dare to reach out to eat.

　　Seeing Fu Nian appear, Fu Yu jumped off the stool in surprise and wanted to look for his brother, but when he saw Chu Rong standing with his arms folded behind Fu Nian, Fu Yu stopped as if he had suddenly braked, and the excited expression on his face immediately disappeared without a trace.

　　”Ah! Mom…” Fu Yu hid behind Fu Nian’s arm, obviously afraid of Chu Rong.

　　Chu Rong looked at the exquisite and delicious pastries on the table and said lightly, “Heat two cups of milk and bring them over.”

　　The cook, Aunt Yunsao, sighed and went into the kitchen to heat the milk.

　　”Let’s go eat.” Seeing that the two little guys were still standing there motionless, Chu Rong patted their shoulders gently and pointed to the dining table.

　　She could feel that when her palms touched the two little guys, they obviously flinched. Although the original book mentioned that Chu Rong always asked the servants to beat the children, after all, Chu Rong was the culprit, so even if Chu Rong did not actually do it herself, her body movements would bring great psychological fear to Fu Nian and Fu Yu.

　　Chu Rong withdrew her hand and repeated, “Go.” She felt helpless. Damn Chu Rong, the shadow was too heavy. How could she change the image of a vicious stepmother?

　　Fu Yu raised his little head and looked at Chu Rong quietly. He couldn’t believe that the person in front of him who spoke so softly and gently was Chu Rong. Was her mother possessed by a kind little monster?

　　Fu Nian only knew that if Chu Rong was really possessed by a monster, then it must not be a kind monster.

　　Because he didn’t know what Chu Rong meant, Fu Yu didn’t dare to move even though Chu Rong told them to go eat.

　　Fu Nian looked at the dining table quietly for a while, and finally moved.

　　He walked calmly towards the dining table, pulled out a chair without hesitation, then grabbed a steamed bun and started to nibble on it. He ate very quickly because he was extremely hungry, and more likely because he was afraid that Chu Rong would change her mind halfway and not let him eat. In short, Fu Nian buried his head in his food. No matter what Chu Rong wanted to do, at this moment, he just wanted to fill his stomach.

　　Seeing his brother start to eat with relish, Fu Yu, who had been staring at the meat buns for a long time, couldn’t help himself. He took a last look at Chu Rong, then trotted over, picked up the buns and started to eat them, imitating Fu Nian’s behavior. At this time, Sister Yun came out with two glasses of milk. She wanted to give them to Fu Nian and Fu Yu, but she didn’t know what Chu Rong meant, so she could only stand by awkwardly, waiting for Chu Rong’s instructions.

　　Chu Rong walked over and stood in front of Fu Nian and Fu Yu, “Stop eating.”

　　Fu Nian seemed to have expected this result. He put down the bun in his hand and looked up at Chu Rong.

　　The younger Fu Yu hadn’t eaten enough yet, but when he saw his brother stop, he reluctantly put down the meat bun he had not finished eating.

　　”You haven’t even washed your hands, so you’ve taken in all the germs.” Chu Rong looked at the two little guys’ hands full of oil stains, and her expression was a little subtle, “Go wash your hands.”

　　Fu Nian was shocked and looked at Chu Rong speechless. Because he was familiar with every malicious expression of Chu Rong, Fu Nian could see Chu Rong’s subtle disdain at once, but Chu Rong’s disdain for them was only revealed when she called them “bastards” and “little bastard” in the past, and along with her disdain, she often showed undisguised disgust.

　　But Chu Rong’s disgust just now was actually because they didn’t wash their hands?

　　And most importantly, this time Fu Nian did not see disgust on Chu Rong’s face.

　　Did she really just dislike their dirty hands?

　　Fu Yu didn’t think as much as Fu Nian did. He looked at his greasy hands and suddenly felt embarrassed. In fact, there were etiquette teachers who had taught Fu Nian and Fu Yu dining etiquette. It’s not that they didn’t know how to do it, but they were so hungry that they were about to pass out. If they didn’t eat quickly, there might be nothing left, so no one cared about dining etiquette.

　　”Sister Yun.” Seeing that the two little guys were still stunned, Chu Rong could only ask someone to help them wash their hands. “Take Nian Nian and Xiao Yu to wash their hands.”

　　The reason why she didn’t call Wu Can was that she could see that except for Wu Can, the other servants in the room still loved the two children, but they were afraid to be nice to them openly because of Chu Rong’s tyranny. Wu Can was too rough with Fu Nian and Fu Yu, and Chu Rong was worried that if Wu Can took them to wash their hands, they might break their arms.

　　As expected, Aunt Yun quickly put down the milk and said, “Okay, come on, young Master, little Master, Aunt Yun will take you to wash your hands.”

　　Fu Nian and Fu Yu were taken to wash their hands, and Chu Rong finally relaxed from her nervousness. She pulled a stool and sat down. The moment she sat down, Chu Rong’s straight back relaxed slightly.

Damn it, as a typical “vicious villain”, please don’t be too nervous when facing your own sins and retribution!

　　Chu Rong was really afraid that if she was not careful she would cause greater harm to Fu Nian and Fu Yu’s already fragile bodies and minds.

　　In order to avoid making more mistakes by talking too much, Chu Rong simply spoke less to avoid making things worse.

　　Seeing Chu Rong was about to collapse, Wu Can thought she was not feeling well, so he came over to show concern, “Madam, are you okay? Did that little beast… Fu Nian do anything to you just now?”

　　Because he had just been scolded by Chu Rong for calling him a little beast, he reacted quickly now. He knew that saying this would make Chu Rong angry, but he was not very polite.

　　Chu Rong looked at Wu Can like an idiot, “He is only six years old, what can he do to me?” she really didn’t know what was going on in Wu Can’s train of thought.

　　”Madam, your hand is bleeding!” Wu Can noticed the place where Chu Rong was bitten by Fu Nian, and his eyes were instantly filled with anger, “Did Fu Nian bite you? I’ll help you teach him a lesson!”

　　At this time, Fu Nian and Fu Yu were just brought back by Sister Yun. Hearing Wu Can’s fierce words, the two children were so scared that they stopped where they were.

　　I don’t know if I can continue eating.

　　Sister Yun also took a look at Chu Rong’s forearm and saw a deep tooth mark that was bleeding. She was worried and anxious, fearing that the hostess would not let the two children go.

　　Fu Yu looked at his brother nervously, wondering if it was true that his brother had bitten his mother. Would his mother have his brother beaten to death? He was so scared that he wanted to cry, but he didn’t dare to cry, so he could only hold Fu Nian’s arm, his shoulders twitching.

　　Fu Nian lowered his head, his clean hands tightly grasping the clothes.

　　Will Chu Rong let Wu Can beat him? I don’t know why, after what happened just now, he actually had a little expectation for Chu Rong.

　　However, Chu Rong just waved his hand impatiently, “It’s not him. You don’t need to be violent, and you don’t need to stand here, or the two children will be scared by you and dare not eat.”

　　Wu Can was stunned. “But…” But it was clearly Fu Nian who bit her! Why did Madam deny it? Did Madam have a head injury? And Madam actually wanted to send him back to his room? The reason was that she was afraid that he would scare these two bastards?

　　Wu Can was a man of steel, but at this moment he felt so wronged that he wanted to cry.

　　Chu Rong waved his hand, “Go quickly.”

　　It only took Wu Can’s expression a dozen seconds to change from disbelief to grievance and loss. Although his lips moved many times, he didn’t say a word and went back to his room.

　　Wu Can’s miserable back looked like a hunchbacked old man, a villain at the end of his rope.

　　Sister Yun watched the whole process with fear and trepidation. After Wu Can disappeared, she whispered, “Madam, the two young masters have washed their hands.”

　　Chu Rong immediately put on his full energy to deal with his two retributions, “Drink the milk and continue eating.”

　　Fu Nian and Fu Yu were both stunned. They had just seen Chu Rong’s indifference towards Wu Can, and also heard Chu Rong’s defense of them. The huge difference made the two kids think they were dreaming.

　　Seeing that they didn’t move, Chu Rong raised his eyebrows: “Why, are you full?”

　　The two brothers, whose stomachs were growling with hunger, stopped lying in a daze and climbed onto chairs. This time they didn’t use their hands, but picked up forks to eat.

　　”Drink the milk while it’s hot.” Chu Rong knocked on the glass.

　　The little ones who hadn’t drunk milk for a long time couldn’t wait to pick up the warm cups and gulped down 200 ml of milk in one breath.

　　”Is it delicious?” The two little kids looked like two cute baby animals when drinking milk. Chu Rong was so touched that she couldn’t help but ask them with a smile.

　　”It tastes good!” Fu Yu licked his lips, “It would be nice if I could drink it every day.”

　　Fu Nian silently pulled at the corner of Fu Yu’s clothes, signaling him not to talk nonsense.

　　Fu Yu was young and would be fooled by Chu Rong’s smiling face, but Fu Nian would not. He remained vigilant towards Chu Rong. Chu Rong had done similar things before. At the beginning, when she didn’t dare to torture him so blatantly, she would always give him something good first, then stage a scene to break the thing, and finally say that he was ungrateful and take the opportunity to punish him.

　　Fu Nian has gotten used to it.

　　He didn’t know what Chu Rong wanted to do, but he knew that he couldn’t respond to Chu Rong’s words, otherwise Chu Rong would definitely use his words to cause trouble for them…

　　”You really have to drink it every day,” Chu Rong nodded calmly, sighing, “Drink more milk to grow taller. You two are too short.”

　　Fu Nian thought Chu Rong would say something terrible: “?”

　　Are you serious about that sigh?

　　Is Chu Rong humiliating him in a different way?
