Chapter 1057: Sending Xiaobao to Military Camp

such a distinguished scholar's bow"Since you're young, I'll respectfully call you by your given name."Fan Jinshu nodded repeatedly."Jinxiu, this bow is not for anything else. You not only saved the l...Chapter 1057: Sending Xiaobao to the Military Camp

Zongyu did not agree immediately, letting out a soft sigh.

"A country has its own laws, the army has its own regulations, and city defense camps do not allow outsiders to enter."

Fang Jinshu let out a mocking laugh. Even such a flimsy excuse was used to dismiss her.

How did that treasure get in here

"Could it be that you really sent him to join the army"

Yuan Bao is not old enough, either.

Zongyu knew that when it came to arguing, he was no match for his daughter-in-law. He could only speak less and make fewer mistakes.

"Zhongyu, you wouldn't really be serious, would you"

Fang Jinshu thought more and more that something was wrong. Yuanbao was only a few years old, how could Ayu really send Yuanbao to the military camp.

"Yuan Bao is barely four years old! Sending him to a military camp, isn't that going too far"

Zongyu, seeing Jinxiu's knowing expression, could only speak the truth.

"I didn't tell you because I was afraid you'd worry."

The city guard camp is just the guards of the capital. There's nothing dangerous inside.

"Four years old, not too young anymore, time to toughen up."

Fang Jinxiu kept telling herself not to get angry. Although Yuanbao's father, Zongyu, had never participated in his son's upbringing since birth, they were still blood relatives after all. As a father, Zongyu wouldn't really let anything happen to his son, right

But Fang Jinshu couldn't help but feel heartache when she thought of her four-year-old son training in the harsh military camp.

"Alright! You're his father, you get to train your son. I have nothing to say about that."

But I have one requirement, my son is still young and his body is still developing. He can't accept too harsh training!

"Once he's hurt, you have to bring him back. He also needs a few days off every now and then. A guard dog still has some fun in the day, you can't keep your son from breathing."

With a helpless expression, Zong Yu said to his wife, "Honey, this isn't just a small request."

Fang Jinxiu glared at him angrily.

"My requests aren't too much, are they"

"Don't you even think about it! If your mother and Jade Lotus found out that you sent the precious jewels to the military camp for training, you wouldn't have a good day in this house!"

Zhong Yu furrowed his brows, pondering the question seriously.

"Mother, don't worry."

Fang Jinxiu let out a hearty laugh.

Now the treasure is the root of her life, she won't...

In the late afternoon, Yuanbao's absence from home finally came to light. It was a secret that could not be kept forever.

Even if Yuan Bao could stay at Jingwangfu forever and never come back, Mu Shi and Yulian would still visit him from time to time.

This time, it was Yulian who went to Jing Wangfu and found that the treasure wasn't there. After returning home, the two of them immediately cried like the sky was falling and came to find Fang Jinshu and her husband.

"Oh no, Jinshiu, Yuanbao, Yuanbao is missing!"

Hearing her mother-in-law's gasp, Fang Jinshu silently glanced at Zong Yu, as if saying with her eyes, "Let's see how you explain this."

Zongyu's face darkened, and his scalp felt numb.

"Jinxiu, people from the Wangfu said that Yuanbao was taken away by our people from the mountain villa a few days ago."

"But how could we possibly go fetch Yuanbao What if he's been kidnapped again"

"Is it Yuan Xiang again He sent someone to steal the ingots."

Fang Jinshi saw her mother-in-law anxiously flustered and quickly soothed her to sit down, "Mother, don't worry, Yuanbao hasn't been kidnapped."

Jade Lotus felt that her brother-in-law and sister-in-law's expressions were off. Logically, they should be more anxious than them upon hearing that Yuan Bao was missing, yet they remained so calm.

Do they know where the treasure is

"Sister-in-law, could it be that Yuanbao was arranged to go somewhere by you"

Hearing her sister's words, Zong Yu frowned and sighed. Whatever, one person does the job, one person takes responsibility. At worst, he'd just be scolded by his mother.

He was about to stand up and admit it when suddenly his sleeve was pulled by Fang Jinshu.

"Right, you see my memory."

"Before, King Jing mentioned a very famous academy to me. They don't usually recruit students easily. By chance, Yuan Bao met a teacher from that academy when he went to the Prince’s mansion those days."

"I'll just have Yuan Bao sign up."

"It's possible that due to the previous injury and coma, this memory has always been inconsistent, causing me to forget about it."

"I'm sorry, mother, I made you worry. Yuanbao only went to school, he's really fine."

Zongyu watched his daughter-in-law seriously weaving a story to deceive his mother and Yulian, feeling incredibly astonished.

The daughter-in-law's lies were so convincing.

Had he not personally delivered the treasure to the Citadel himself, even he might have believed otherwise.

"Huh Did Yuanbao go to school"

"How come so suddenly."

Jade Lotus also found this a bit strange, “Sister-in-law, you’re sending Yuanbao to the academy, why didn’t you tell us in advance”

Fāng Jǐnxiù smiled apologetically, “At that time, I was a bit pressed for time, and I wasn't quite myself those few days, so I forgot about it.”

"Yuán bǎo was also very willing to go."

Mu listened to her daughter-in-law's explanation. Although she found it a little strange, knowing where her grandson was and that he was unharmed, she felt much more at ease.

"It's alright, it's alright."

"So, what's the name of the academy on the golden treasure When can we go and see it"

"When can he take a vacation and go home"

Fang Jinshu paused for a moment before saying, "The academy is called... New Oriental."

Mu frowned, "Xin Dong Academy I've never heard of that academy."

Yu Lian always believed wholeheartedly in the other party's eloquent words.

"Well, there are so many academies these days, it's understandable if you haven't heard of them all."

"As long as Yuan Bao is alright, that's all that matters. Sister-in-law is such a cautious person, could she possibly harm Yuan Bao"

Hearing this, Fang Jinshi lowered her head somewhat guiltily.

Son, mother is sorry.

Don't worry, Mother will save you sooner or later.

"Well, since it's Yuan Bao's favorite academy, then let him go there."

"But you guys didn't give me any time to prepare. Xiaobao went alone He's never suffered anything in his life, and he's still so young. He can't possibly manage without someone looking after him."

"Oh, and clothes, bedding, socks, things like that. Little Bao has delicate skin. If the bedding in the academy isn't comfortable, he gets rashes."

"I, I should still make a few new sets of clothes for Xiao Bao, and new bedding."

"Jinxiu, when the time comes, make sure someone brings it to Xiao Bao, or tell me where that New Oriental Academy is located, and I'll deliver it to him personally."

Fang Jinshi smiled and nodded slightly.

"Understood, Mother. You can rest assured. Yuanbao is my biological son, and of course I've prepared these things for him too."

"If you're still not comfortable, you can go back and prepare some more. I'll have someone send them over."

Mu nodded. "This is Xiao Bao's first time leaving home, of course I'm not at ease."

"Okay, then I'll go prepare some more of his daily necessities. I'll also stock up on food."

After Mu and Yulian left, Fang Jinxiu could finally take off the smile that had been so strained it couldn't be more fake.

"Haven't you heard Yuan Bao is my lifeline, and you must agree to the few conditions I just mentioned. You have to let Xiao Bao take a break and go home for a few days after some time."

"If Mother knew you sent Xiao Bao to the army, she would probably faint right in front of you."

"That boy was spoiled rotten by you lot," Zong Yu frowned.

Fang Jinshi was speechless. As a mother, she admitted that there were many women in their family and she had spoiled Yuanbao. The boy did have many arrogant habits.

But the son is still a good boy at heart.

Just as she had thought of a reason to retort, Yu Lian suddenly returned and appeared at the door, her expression beyond shocked.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, you guys just said that you sent Xiaobao to the military camp!". I know it wasn't easy for you to build the peaceful life you have now.""But," Wang Yan'er choked up when she thought of Zong Hu lying on the bed, half dead.“But, I'm really at my wits' end and don't...
