286 It Wasn’t Me, I Didn’t!

Yun Ran wondered, “What other baby? This little packrat is the youngest baby.”

The little packrat shook its little head happily and told its father, “Sweetcake is not a little evil spirit. Sweetcake even told the children that Sweetcake’s father is also a good person and not a big evil spirit. They all believe Sweetcake’s words now.”

Mo Beiyuan looked at Yun Ran, who was at the side. The meaning in his eyes was probably to ask if something had happened in the academy today. Why was there talk of a little evil spirit? A big evil spirit?

Yun Ran explained to him briefly. Because of the matter at the Prime Minister’s Estate, at first, those children ostracized the little packrat and were even afraid of her. They said that the little packrat was a little monster with a super heaven-grade spiritual root.

However, after that, there was a sudden earthquake. The little packrat stood up and protected all the children. The event changed the children’s thoughts about her.

When Mo Beiyuan heard that his little packrat lift the roof with her bare hands, his eyelids trembled twice. “Is your little arm alright?”

As he spoke, he picked up the little dumpling’s lotus root-like arm to see if it was injured.

Yun Ran smiled and said, “She just used another crosswood that fell from the roof. When we found her, she was posing with this little arm on her hip.”

At the mention of the packrat holding a large piece of crosswood with one hand on his waist, Yun Ran still found it funny.

How could there be such a cute little ball of rice?

“She even had candy in her mouth.”

At the mention of this candy, Yun Ran remembered to ask the packrat, “Little Sweetcake, where did the candy you just ate come from?”

Yun Ran had always had the intention to control the little packrat to eat sweet food. Therefore, she would usually replace candy with with fruits when the little packrat wanted sweet things.

The little packrat covered her mouth and shook her head at Yunran. “Sweetcake didn’t eat candy! Mother, the candy ran into Sweetcake’s mouth on its own.”

Yun Ran raised her hand and gently pinched the little packrat’s puffed-up face. “Mo Yunnian, The candy won’t run into your mouth on its own. It doesn’t have legs either. So, who gave you the candy?”

The little packrat rolled her big black eyes and blinked at its father.

Yun Ran followed her gaze.

Mo Beiyuan quickly cleared his throat and said seriously, “It wasn’t me. I didn’t!”

At most, he had only bought candied hawthorn for the little packrat once or twice.

“Father…”

The little packrat secretly reached over and shook his father’s sleeve.

Mo Beiyuan looked at her pitiful appearance and wanted to speak up for her.

Unexpectedly, Yun Ran coughed heavily. “Mo Yunnian, it’s useless to look for Daddy now. He can’t help you. So, who gave you the candy? Grandfather?”

Yun Ran pondered for a moment. Mo Beiyuan was no longer good at secretly buying sweet food for the little packrat. The secret guards were also afraid of her reprimanding him. The only one left was probably Xuanyuan Yu, the biological grandfather who doted on the little packrat without any bottom line.

The packrat’s eyes lit up. “Wow! Mother, you’re so smart.”

This was not the time to listen to the packrat’s flattery.

She took the little packrat’s small pouch over and checked it. Only then did she realize that it was filled with candy cubes. The small pouch was so full it could not be stuffed anymore.

It seemed like she had to talk to Xuanyuan Yu about this.

The little packrat was a child. How could she have any self-control? Although she was nodding her head seriously now, she would probably forget everything she said when she turned around and saw the candy.
