Chapter 602. About to Give Birth (2/2)

Snow Scar was not in the mood to appreciate the little fellow’s foolish demeanor. The pregnant mare in the stable was still waiting for the little human girl to save its life! It eagerly stepped forward and pushed aside Black Whirlwind so hard that the little fellow staggered a bit. It followed a familiar smell straight into Xiaocao’s courtyard.

The servants in the courtyard, who were currently sweeping the area clean of snow, saw that their frequent visitor, Black Whirlwind, had brought along a beautiful white horse along today. They all revealed admiring looks in their eyes. Almost everyone who had worked a long time at the stud farm was able to differentiate between different horse bloodlines. This white horse was an absolute divine steed and was in no way inferior to the fine steeds that their masters rode!

Yu Xiaocao had just finished washing herself up and was wearing a pink dress paired with a pink coat. She was sitting by the kang bed table and eating a delicious breakfast. Across from her sat a pair of handsome fellows who were respectively dressed entirely in black or white. Being able to eat at the same table with two handsome and stunning looking men, who each had their own merits, truly made her appetite better! Yu Xiaocao felt as if the plain white congee in front of her was more fragrant than before.

Suddenly, a ruckus could be heard in the courtyard and she heard the small cry of an animal. Yu Xiaocao looked inquiringly out but her line of sight was blocked by a thick door curtain. Zhu Junyang placed down the bowl in his hands and hollered out to ask, “What’s going on?”

The sound of Yingchun’s voice from the outside transmitted back, “In reply to Your Highness, a white horse has entered the courtyard. The servants are about to drive it away!”

“A white horse? It wouldn’t be Snow Scar, right? Is it about to leave with the herd of horses and came by to say farewell?” Yu Xiaocao pushed another spoonful of congee into her mouth and then used the handkerchief Zhu Junyang handed over to wipe her mouth before she put on her fur boots and jumped off the kang bed.

“Put on your mink fur overcoat. It’s cold outside!” Zhu Junyang couldn’t help but nag a bit. Only when he saw the little lass obediently allow Wutong to wrap her up tightly in the warm coat did he finally relax.

“Tsk tsk!” Su Ran used a handkerchief to wipe the corner of his mouth, revealing an ambiguous looking smile, “I never would have expected the cold hearted and tyrannical Royal Prince Yang, who’s like a fierce lion, had such a considerate and sweet side to him. A fierce lion becoming as docile as a kitten. This truly has opened up my eyes!”

Zhu Junyang smiled faintly and didn’t think that he was doing anything improper as he struck back, “Hasn’t Chief Steward Su, who has always been a loner and never bothered to make close relationships with other people, also changed quite a bit recently? You make it sound as if only this prince treats that lass well!”

He was already feeling unhappy about the way Chief Steward Su treated that little lass. Ever since Xiaocao had knitted a white wool sweater for the other man, Chief Steward Su seemed to dote on the little lass without any restraint. Zhu Junyang had seen everything from the side and always felt like the other man was treating Xiaocao as if she was his own daughter!

That damned old eunuch was trying to steal the little lass away from him since he couldn’t have his own children! Zhu Junyang silently cursed the other man. This absolutely could not continue! Clearly, in the future, his road to woo his little wife now had another ‘father-in-law’ who was there to bar his way. Zhu Junyang truly wished he could pack that fellow up right now and send him back to the capital!

“That lass Xiaocao is worthy of being doted upon. If I don’t favor her, who else should I favor?” Su Ran deliberately revealed the white woolen sweater that Xiaocao had knitted him——he really wanted to infuriate that little brat to death!

Su Ran felt his heart lighten when he remembered the constipated look on Royal Prince Yang’s face when Xiaocao had given him the sweater. He deliberately asked the little lass to also make him a pair of gloves and a scarf to complete the set. The more he could irritate the other fellow, the happier he felt!

Didn’t Xiaocao say that she regarded him as an older brother ah? It was right and natural for an older brother-in-law to make things difficult for his younger sister’s husband, right? Right? After all, wouldn’t anyone feel a bit upset seeing such a lovable little girl being taken away by a big bad wolf, right? The Yu Family didn’t dare to make things difficult for this son-in-law, so he, Su Ran, would help them in their stead! Did the other guy really think it’d be easy to swindle away someone’s daughter, who they had painstakingly raised for over a decade?

The two handsome men in the room stared at each other with pointed eyes. Sparks of fire seemed to be coming off of them. If Xiaocao, this crazy fangirl was around, she might have started imagining a romance between the two of them!

With the little divine stone translating for her, Xiaocao discovered that the white stallion had come by to tell her about a pregnant mare who was about to give birth. Thus, she sent Yingchun to inform Doctor Wang and bring him over. Although she had a cheat item in her hands, it was only useful in decreasing pain for the horse. As for helping the horse give birth, that was out of her abilities.

She brought along her own medicine box and climbed onto the white stallion’s back before the two of them sped towards the outskirts of the stud farm, where the stables for the wild horses were located. There truly weren’t a lot of horses who gave birth in the middle of deep winter within the herd. Xiaocao was a bit worried about this, so she felt that it was for the best that she also be present for this.

When Little Black Whirlwind saw that its master had completely ignored it and had her entire attention taken up by that ‘little thief’, it felt quite unhappy. It threw a little temper tantrum in the courtyard and only calmed down after Wutong gave it two pieces of rock candy.

This was not okay! It could not allow that little thief to take its master away. It needed to keep an eye on that uncouth fellow. Despite the cold, Little Black Whirlwind trotted outside in the direction of the outskirts of the horse farm. Before long, it caught up with the old veterinarian who was also headed to the stables there.
