Chapter 150: Who Dares To Arrest Her?
Shang Wuyang told Qin Wanwan to stay in the room and went out to find someone to urgently make a fluffy little rabbit-shaped hat.
He designed the hat’s style.
It would take some time before the hat was ready, so he personally brought food into the room.
“Eat in the room before the hat is finished.”
Women in this era basically didn’t wear hats; for the sake of appearance, even in winter, they mostly wore exquisite jewelry on their heads.
As for children, the cloaks they wore had hats.
But that wouldn’t cover Qin Wanwan’s forehead.
Qin Wanwan was starving and sat on a stool, holding her bowl and starting to shovel food into her mouth.
Shang Wuyang propped his chin and watched her, occasionally scooping some steamed egg custard or fish balls into her bowl with a spoon.
“Eat slowly, no one is fighting you for it.”
“So hungry, is it related to the horns that popped out?”
Qin Wanwan nodded while eating, “Yesterday, wanting Daddy to be warm, Wanwan worked super hard to circulate spiritual charm, then felt super tired and hungry, and the little horns popped out.”
With food in her mouth, her cheeks were puffed out round.
A flicker of heartache flashed in Shang Wuyang’s eyes.
“Silly, don’t do that next time.”
Qin Wanwan shook her head, her tender little face serious as she admonished him with righteous indignation.
“Daddy, how can you say that? You’re having a relapse from the poisoning. If I don’t save you, I’ll feel so uncomfortable. If Daddy’s gone, Wanwan will cry herself to death.”
Shang Wuyang: “Don’t talk nonsense!”
Dying, dying, he was a menace to society and would live for thousands of years, how could he possibly die.
Qin Wanwan continued to eat, “Oh right, Daddy, why are you having a relapse from the poisoning?”
Shang Wuyang’s expression turned a bit unpleasant when he thought of that guy Yu Wuyou.
“Fought with someone and got poisoned.”
Qin Wanwan immediately put her little hands on her hips, menacingly, “Who! Wanwan will bring Keke to settle the score with him!”
Shang Wuyang glanced at her, “That guy is surrounded by all sorts of poisonous insects and is covered in poison. Think before you speak.”
Qin Wanwan’s little neck, which had perked up, shrank back.
“I’m not afraid of poisonous insects, they don’t dare come near me.”
But poison, she was a little scared.
“I’m so small, I might not be able to win, but… but when Wanwan grows up, she’ll become super powerful.”
Shang Wuyang: “Then we’ll talk when you grow up.”
Qin Wanwan: “I’ll ask Father Xie for help. Father Xie can probably fight.”
“Him being able to fight doesn’t mean he won’t get poisoned.”
Qin Wanwan: …………
Fine, then she’d get revenge when she grew up, or when her fathers were all gathered.
The little Qilin understood the saying “the wise know when to withdraw,” she wanted to get revenge for her Daddy, but she wouldn’t do anything that risked her own life if she couldn’t win.
Qin Wanwan was truly hungry and ate twice her usual amount. Shang Wuyang repeatedly asked if her belly felt full.
“I can still eat!”
The little Qilin heroically placed her bowl on the table, looking not at all strained.
Suppressing the urge to call Doctor Xu in to check her pulse, Shang Wuyang patted her belly.
Her little belly was a bit bulging.
Just then, a “dududu” knocking sound came from outside the door.
Just from the sound, he knew it was a bird outside.
And the sound of claws scratching the door.
No need to guess, it was definitely a group of animals outside.
After not seeing Qin Wanwan for a morning, the animals in the house couldn’t sit still.
Shang Wuyang went to open the door, and Keke rushed in first.
“Cub, what’s wrong with you? Why won’t that Shang guy let you out!”
Flying to Qin Wanwan’s side, Keke exclaimed, his shrill voice hitting a high note.
“Cub, why did your horns pop out!!!”
Qin Wanwan smugly touched her beautiful little horns.
“Aren’t they good-looking? They popped out on their own.”
“They’re good-looking, yes, but how can you go out to see people with horns like that? You’ll be taken for a monster and captured, and the consequences will be dire!”
Hearing this, Qin Wanwan also became a little sad.
With such beautiful horns, why would those people capture her?
She was indignant!
Shang Wuyang: “Who dares to capture her?”
At this moment, Shang Wuyang was somewhat fortunate that this little one had more than one father.
Although his commercial development was powerful, he was not originally from Shangjing, and in the class structure of Shangjing, commerce ranked last.
If Qin Wanwan’s appearance were truly discovered, he might not be able to protect her in Shangjing.
But with Xie Chong and Rong Zhi, it would be different.
One of them commanded heavy troops, and the other held immense power in the Imperial Court, with most of the important decisions in court being made by him.
The current Emperor Tianqi had a rather mediocre mind; if he couldn’t learn something, he’d just slack off, but he also had a good trait: he was obedient, yes… obedient to the Imperial Chancellor Rong Zhi.
With these two, one military and one civil, plus himself, he was confident that even if Qin Wanwan’s appearance was discovered, he could protect her.
He could guide public opinion, artificially create some auspicious omen or celestial phenomenon, and perfectly position his daughter as a divine beast or auspicious omen. Then, who would dare touch her?
However, this also had its drawbacks. The human heart was a very complicated thing, and with greater ability came greater responsibility.
If Wanwan truly became an auspicious omen, the common people would pray to her for every natural disaster. If she could solve the trouble, it would be good, but if she couldn’t, she would easily suffer backlash.
Therefore, in Shang Wuyang’s heart, he still felt it was best if Wanwan’s condition was not exposed.
To be a happy and peaceful ordinary little girl, without having to bear too much pressure.
Keke looked at him, and then thought of Xie Chong and Rong Zhi.
It was no longer flustered, landing on Qin Wanwan’s shoulder with its wings akimbo.
“Yes, who dares to capture my cub? She has three fathers!”
Qin Wanwan’s eyes sparkled, “Having more Daddy means there’s more delicious food.”
Keke proudly said, “That depends on the quality. Your three fathers now, one controls heavy troops, one is immensely wealthy, and the other holds immense power. Who would dare provoke you?”
Qin Wanwan also puffed up her chest with a proud expression.
“My Daddy is amazing, hehe…”
Listening to the conversation between the person and the bird, Shang Wuyang couldn’t help but twitch his mouth.
The other animals nuzzled up to Qin Wanwan. The Great Lion, transforming from a fierce beast into a kitten, not only let out a pampered meow but also lay on the ground, exposing its fluffy belly for the little Qilin to step on.
It was extremely fawning.
They already liked Wanwan very much normally, and now the cub with little Qilin horns popping out was even more appealing to them.
Even Little Red, who was supposed to be in the stable in the backyard, “escaped” and ran out. Its half-tall, sturdy body poked into the room, its large eyes staring at the little Qilin, grinning widely.
The servants couldn’t hold it back.
Looking at this chaotic scene, Shang Wuyang rubbed his temples.
“All of you… get out!”
Shang Wuyang’s imposing presence was still effective. Although he was currently in human form, his soul was, after all, one-fifth of an adult Qilin.
He drove the group of animals crowding into the room out, leaving only Keke to play with Qin Wanwan.
He went to get the hat.
The embroiderers under him were quite skilled, even comparable to those in the Imperial Palace, especially since he paid them well.
The embroiderers were nimble and quick. Although the small hat was a bit complicated, it was finished within an hour.
It was a snow-white, fluffy little hat with soft, floppy rabbit ears hanging down on both sides, adorned with two small red pom-poms at the base of the ears.
It was beautiful and warm.
Shang Wuyang brought it back for Qin Wanwan to wear. The fluffy hat made the little girl’s face appear even more delicate and exquisite.
It looked great!
