Father, Mother Escaped Again Chapter 10

Shao Zitang broke out in a sweat . “What’s she looking at us for? I have a bad feeling about this,” Shao Zitang said stiffly .

“How should I know? Didn’t you know that women are from Venus and men are from Mars?” Yan Ran replied sardonically .

“Really now? If she heard those words, she’d be wounded by your callousness . ” Shao Zitang sneered . “Isn’t that right, beautiful . Grand . Tutor . ”

Yan Ran’s smile cramped . He glowered at Shao Zitang’s cocky face .  This brat really isn’t cute anymore!

“How is yours any better? Little . Boy . ”

This time Shao Zitang scowled . Ever since he was ten, he’d hated being called a little boy!

Shao Zitang sized up Xia Yuqing . His glare turned vicious .  As I thought, we should take care of her immediately . Otherwise there’ll casualties, he thought .

Xia Yuqing had the two in her sights .  As a qualified fujoshi, I can’t allow these two ukes to go down this route . Two ukes simply have no future together, so this sort of masochistic love triangle should be strangled in the cradle!

Xia Yuqing reckoned . Her gaze became even more vulgar .

“Then since you know this little boy, will you introduce us?”

Yan Ran rubbed his nose . He dimpled, “Consort Qing, this rascal isn’t any little boy . He is the current Chief Strategist of the Ministry of War, Sir Shao Zitang . And I am Yan Ran, the Grand Tutor . Milady may call me Sir Yan or simply Yan Ran . The name beautiful Grand Tutor… I’m afraid I can’t accept it . ”

Xia Yuqing didn’t register Yan Ran’s complaints . Her mind was wholly occupied by Yan Ran’s opening statements .  This moe shouta is the Chief Strategist of the Ministry of War, as in the head of the sixth Ministry of War? Uwah, I must have heard wrong . To appoint a boy as commander-in-chief, Seme-sama must have lost it .  Isn’t he afraid of the tyke ruining the country?

And… and he’s still underage . Seme-sama! Exploiting minors is illegal!

Xia Yuqing couldn’t help but throw shade at Feng Tingye and also sympathize with Shao Zitang . She adopted an enigmatic air . “Forgive me for not realizing that both of you are prominent members of the court . May I ask why the two of you have come to the palace for?”

Yan Ran flicked the folding fan in his hand, smiling coyly . “Of course, it’s to discuss important affairs with the emperor . ”

“Oh, to see His Majesty!” Xia Yuqing glanced up craftily . “His Majesty is currently occupied at the empress dowager’s palace . If you two don’t mind, then how about accompanying me to my palace until the emperor is done?”

Much ado about nothing, indeed .  Only earlier, she’d been troubled about supplying Seme-sama with quality ukes . Who knew that two moe ukes would come knocking shortly after? Ohohoho, beautiful Grand Tutor, it’s time to face the consequences for cheating on Seme-sama .  She’d drug them with the sleeping pills that she’d prepared for Seme-sama two days ago!

And she’ll have nothing to do with him when she delivered those two to Seme-sama’s bed .  Kyah, I’m so smart .  Xia Yuqing almost placed her hands on her hips and exulted at the heavens before she banished her inner braggart .

Alas, the best-laid plans of mice and men .

Yan Ran and Shao Zitang were both shocked by her boldness . To invite men to her palace in broad daylight, was Consort Qing ingenuous or not?

Their thoughts turned to Xia Yuqing’s gaze, which seemed…vulgar . It appears they had to re-evaluate Feng Tingye’s special woman .

The three were absorbed in their schemes when a freezing voice interrupted .

“Looks like my love is still hankering for some panky after yesterday, to dare to…dally with others in front of me!”

Xia Yuqing’s expression froze at his voice . Her neck creaked as she turned to look at that glaringly handsome face . Tears mentally rolled down her cheeks like running blood .

Xia Yuqing didn’t need to understand his words to know that she was in a pickle . Uwah—Who has it out for me! Why am I getting caught by Seme-sama whenever I try to solicit an uke?  

She waved docilely at Feng Tingye, forcing a laugh . “Please excuse me, I have something to do . ”

Then, to everybody’s astonishment, she…ran like a little bitch .

Shao Zitang broke out in a sweat . “What’s she looking at us for? I have a bad feeling about this,” Shao Zitang said stiffly . .

“How should I know? Didn’t you know that women are from Venus and men are from Mars?” Yan Ran replied sardonically
