Rebirth: I'm a Daddy's Darling in the Qing Dynasty

Chapter 363 Sixth Brother, how can you be so sure this alt account isn't another troublemaker?

Hongxu was mischievous and disobedient, but he was not incapable of understanding. Although his father's tone was calm and seemingly without any ripples, it was precisely this calmness, which should not have appeared at this time, that made the little guy sense danger. Just as Yinreng was about to hand him over, the little guy quickly grabbed his neck.

"Second Uncle, let's get out of here quickly, okay?"

The reason Hongxu was so anxious to urge Yinreng to leave was because he had finally realized that his father wasn't actually trying to help him pack his clothes; his real target was him...

Yinreng's talent is beyond doubt. If Hongxu can understand it, there's no reason why he wouldn't. The reason he's not giving in now is just to see what the little guy will do next. Children are most sensitive to adults' emotions. Once he senses an opportunity, the little rascal will naturally seize it again. After all, whether he can keep his little bottom today depends entirely on his second uncle.

"Second Uncle, please let's leave here quickly, okay? I heard from Brother Hongxi that his new house has a big lake with lots and lots of red fish. I've always wanted to catch one to feed my mother. Please take me to catch some fish now, okay? Please..."

The adorable little nephew, with his tiny paws tucked in his hands and starry eyes, begged him to take him away. In that situation, who could resist? Yinreng certainly couldn't. He raised his hand and patted the little guy's bottom soothingly, then picked him up and turned to walk towards Kangxi.

"Don't rush, you're still sitting in your second uncle's lap. Do you think your father would snatch you away from me and beat you up? Even if we're leaving, we should at least go and say sorry to your grandfather first. Father, Hongxu is in a hurry to go to my residence to catch fish, so I'll take him back first. Don't worry, sixth brother, I'll take care of this little rascal's homework. I don't have anything to do right now, so teaching him won't hurt, it'll just pass the time..."

With Yinreng's knowledge, teaching Hongxu would be more than enough. Yinzuo naturally had no worries about entrusting the child to him. Looking at the little guy who was smiling smugly at him, Yinzuo walked a few steps to Yinreng's side and flicked Hongxu's forehead with his finger.

"What are you so smug about? If you keep acting like this, do you believe I'll teach you a lesson right now? Let me tell you, your second uncle isn't some distant, remote place. Once you get there, you absolutely must listen to him. If I find out you dare to misbehave, you'll see what I do to you..."

After Hongxu was taken away by Yinreng, the once noisy and bustling Qingxi Study quickly returned to its usual tranquility. Yinzhen and Kangxi discussed political affairs in the flower hall, but Yinzuo was not interested in them. He simply wandered to the study, picked up a book from the bookshelf, and sat on the couch by the window to read while basking in the sun. The afternoon sun was already intense, and as he was feeling drowsy, Yinzuo vaguely felt that he had forgotten something. But since he was in a drowsy state, he simply let it go.

Yinzhuo had let it go, but Yintang, who had been waiting for him in Shufeng Pavilion since morning, was getting impatient. If he hadn't really come to see his sixth brother, he probably would have gotten up and left by now.

When did Yinzhuo remember his unfortunate younger brother, Yintang? Well, he had dinner at his father's place before returning to his own Shufeng Pavilion. Yintang was completely worn down by the teasing. When he saw Yinzhuo return, he weakly raised his hand to greet him before curling back into his recliner.

"Are you angry? Oh, I'm sorry, but I really didn't mean to leave you hanging here. I was just so angry with that brat Hongxu today. Xiao Jiu, you have no idea how outrageous he was today. It's one thing for him to cling to Fourth Brother's leg and call me 'Father,' but he even dared to provoke me! Humph, if he doesn't want to be my son, I don't want to be his father either! You wait, I'll create a new account later and see if he dares to be so arrogant then..."

Although Yinzhen didn't understand what his sixth brother meant by "little name," he wasn't stupid. He quickly figured it out by considering the context of Yinzhuo's words. It seemed that his sixth brother was quite angry with that brat Hongxu today. Otherwise, why would his father, who had been urging him for so long, suddenly arrange for a second child? But he had one question now.

"Sixth Brother, how can you be so sure that the offspring won't be another troublemaker?"

Well, you know what, you really can't be sure whether this second child will be a sweet and adorable baby for him, or the perfect partner for that kid Hongxu. Well, maybe it's best to postpone the second child for now...

"We'll talk about the 'small' thing later. Let me ask you, what important matter do you have that has kept someone as hot-tempered as you sitting here all day?"

Despite his usual carefree and arrogant demeanor, Yinzhen was quite capable when it came to serious matters. He casually placed the teacup he was holding on the low table beside him, sat up straight, reached into his robes, took out a black lacquered wooden box, and pushed it in front of Yinzuo.

"Sixth Brother, you were right before. After spending so much money, someone took the bait. Look, this is the map of Japan you've always wanted."

When Yinzhuo saw Yintang push the wooden box over, he thought it was just another trinket Yintang had found for himself, so he didn't pay much attention. But when he heard that it contained the map of Japan that he had been longing for, he seemed to tremble as he held his teacup. He hurriedly put down the cup and looked at Yintang. After Yintang nodded slightly in confirmation, he grabbed the black lacquered box on the low table and opened it.

"Xiao Jiu, have you had someone verify the authenticity of this map?"

It is said that you only realize how little you know when you need to use it. This is exactly how Yinzhu feels now. You know, he used to go online every day and he had seen maps of this world before, but why didn't he pay attention to memorizing them back then? Now, he has spent money to get his hands on this map, but after looking at it from left to right for so long, he still can't tell whether it is real or fake.

"Sixth Brother, what are you saying? Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't do things properly? Before I sent you this map, I compared it with several other maps. I even went to the foreigners I've been negotiating with to find out more. I can't guarantee that this map is 100% accurate, but I can guarantee that it's 99% accurate."

Yin Zuo trusted Yin Tang's abilities. Since he dared to make such a guarantee, it meant that he had carefully verified the map before sending it to him. Yin Zuo carefully folded the map, which was now many times smaller than before, and put it back into the box, then pushed the box back to Yin Tang.
