Seeing that Xiao Lingyu was clearly showing signs of anger, Xiao Letong immediately restrained himself. Then, he avoided Xiao Lingyu’s gaze and gave Xiao Ling a look, hoping that he would be smart enough to deal with Mommy’s alertness this time.

Xiao Ling was simple but not stupid.

When he received Xiao Letong’s gaze, he immediately shivered.

Facing Xiao Lingyu’s questioning, he said, “Mommy, don’t worry. We didn’t use any spells to deal with them. This was just a common trick of the eye. We won’t suffer any backlash.”

When Xiao Lingyu heard this, she still asked suspiciously, “Oh, is that so?”

Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Yes, that’s right.” At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing to explain, “Mommy, I’m connected to you as one. If I suffer a backlash, you’ll definitely sense it.”

Xiao Lingyu believed him. She checked her body and found that nothing was wrong. She believed Xiao Ling.

Xiao Lingyu then patted Xiao Ling’s head and said, “Xiao Ling, I know that you have already grown up and have your own ideas. But Mommy wants you to protect yourself first, understand? You don’t need to come to solve Mommy’s problems, and mommy will naturally have a solution!”

Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Yes, Mommy, I understand.”

Actually, all of this was done by his brother, Xiao Letong. His only role was to help cover for him. Of course, Xiao Ling could not tell Xiao Lingyu about this.

Xiao Lingyu hugged Xiao Ling and released him. Then, she sighed softly and said, “Ling ‘Er, you’re really a good child.”

Then, he let go of Xiao Ling and turned to Xiao Letong, and shouted sternly, “Xiao Letong!”

Xiao Letong’s body trembled, and he immediately stood up.

Xiao Lingyu said, “Xiao Letong, have you forgotten that you’re still a child who’s not even four years old?”

Xiao Letong immediately said seriously, “No, I haven’t forgotten!” That fact bothered him daily.

“Oh?” Xiao Lingyu said, “Then, why are you ordering Ling ‘Er to do your bidding?”

Xiao Ling would never have thought of letting a ghost scare people, so the idea must have come from her son.

Xiao Letong touched his little head and then answered very seriously, “Mommy, I think it’s fun!”

“Fun?” Xiao Lingyu was almost amused by her son’s words. Then, she said seriously, “Xiao Letong, you made Xiao Ling because you thought it was fun? Have you considered things from Xiao Ling’s perspective? Do you know how much trouble or even danger it will bring him?” Xiao Lingyu paused for a moment and said very seriously, “Xiao Letong, I didn’t expect you to be such a selfish person. Just because you want to have fun, you can risk your brother’s safety.” As she said this, she felt a sense of guilt in her heart. “No, it’s my fault. As a mother, I didn’t educate you well. I have made you into this selfish person.”

Xiao Letong had been brought up by his family since he was young. Ever since he was born, she had been busy with work and neglected to educate him.

Now, Xiao Letong had become someone who would risk his brother’s safety for the sake of fun.

Xiao Letong suddenly felt wronged when his beloved mommy criticized him for being selfish. His eyes immediately turned red.

When Xiao Ling saw that her brother was criticized, she immediately explained anxiously, “Mommy, it’s not like that. You’ve misunderstood my brother!”

Her brother was the most powerful person in the world. He did not harm him at all.

However, Xiao Lingyu waved her hand and said, “Ling ‘Er, Mommy knows that you’re a good and sensible child. However, don’t cover for your brother.”

Xiao Ling was too naive and easy to fool. Although her son was only three or four years old, he was exceptionally smart. He could speak eloquently and sweet-talk adults to make them happy. He could also fool children easily.

Therefore, she believed that Xiao Letong had fooled Xiao Ling. Her son was simply too smart.

Even Xiao Ling was reprimanded. This time, Xiao Letong felt so wronged that he couldn’t help but cry. Xiao Lingyu’s heart ached terribly.

This child had never cried like this since he was young. Furthermore, he looked so sad and wronged. However, she still had to educate him. If he really thought that he could risk someone else’s safety for the sake of fun, Xiao Lingyu had to educate him. She was thankful that she had discovered this issue now. Otherwise, he might grow up to be someone vicious and selfish.

Due to her previous life, Xiao Lingyu felt guilty toward Xiao Letong. However, behind that guilt was immense love.

She knew that no matter how many children she had in the future, her eldest son would always be the one she loved the most.

But this didn’t mean that she would abide by anything he did.

She hoped that her son could be a healthy and happy person in this life, and at the same time, he had to be an upright and kind person.

Seeing her brother cry, Xiao Ling was so anxious that his face turned red. However, he was not good with words. He had promised his brother that he would keep everything they did a secret. Therefore, when his brother was crying, and his mother was angry, he didn’t know what to do.

The commotion in the room quickly alerted Gong Tianhao, who was instructing his subordinates outside.

He quickly came to the room and saw his son crying with red eyes, Xiao Ling, whose face was flushed red, and his wife, whose expression was unusually serious. The atmosphere was a little tense.

Gong Tianhao’s heart ached for his son, and he was also anxious.

However, he did not comfort his son immediately. Instead, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and asked in a low voice, “Wife, what’s wrong?”

Xiao Lingyu pointed at Xiao Letong and said, “This child just risked Ling ‘Er’s safety because he thought it was fun. I need to educate him.”

“It’s not like that.” Xiao Ling also cried, “Brother didn’t force me, and it wasn’t dangerous. Mommy, you can’t blame brother.”

Gong Tianhao sighed and comforted Xiao Lingyu first, “Honey, don’t be so agitated. Don’t we understand our son? He loves Ling ‘Er so much. How could he hurt her?”

Xiao Ling nodded and said, “Yes, yes, that’s right. Brother is very good. He won’t hurt me.”

Xiao Lingyu and Gong Tianhao, “…”

Xiao Lingyu sighed and softened her tone, saying, “Okay, son, tell me what’s going on.”
