Gu Mengmeng felt a headache and even her gaze at her son was strange.

She finally understood why Elvis had not allowed her to teach her sons. If she continued, all of them could even act in “Empresses in the Palace” without memorising a script, and their impromptu performance would definitely meet the standards of “Beyond the Realm of Conscience”.

“Son…”

Jialue was smart but in terms of judging other people’s expression and understanding them, he was obviously not as good as Chixuan.

Cole kicked Jialue at the back of his leg, before he realised that Gu Mengmeng’s expression did not seem right and stopped his bragging. He cleared his throat and said carefully, “Mum don’t be angry, I am not really plotting against mother-in-law. I was just afraid that something might happen in the tribe while you were gone, so I used this method to keep the powers stabilised. Second brother used his own life to threaten Cole but if the Wolf Clan and Fox Clan were to really fight, even if Cole had not done anything, it would still be a situation with both parties badly harmed. After all, this was not just a battle between two tribes but between two races – the complete races with two Beast Kings. You let Elder brother and I guard over Sauder, I can’t possibly let you return to only see a devastating mess left behind, right? Moreover, I only taught the seven wolves to treat mother-in-law extremely well to earn her favour. I did not do anything else, I swear.”

Gu Mengmeng already had a phobia about swears.

Previously Snakel’s ‘open his chest and take out his guts’ came true, followed by Gregory’s ‘break a wing and turn blind’ also came true.

Now, whenever she hears ‘swear’ she would feel her heart skip a beat.

Using the back of her hand to slap onto Jialue’s head, Gu Mengmeng said with widened eyes, “The first family rule is our family’s males are not allowed to swear! Not at all!”

“I won’t swear, won’t swear, don’t be angry.” Jialue was really afraid of Gu Mengmeng. After all, he only had this mother, what could he do if she was really enraged? Seeing her glare, he hurriedly smiled and tried to coax her, “Mum, seeing that I have come clean with you, can you give us a light punishment?”

Gu Mengmeng also realised that her reaction had been too extreme. After all, her children did not know about her phobia of ‘swear’, so she did not continue harping over it. She only sighed, and poked his head, pushing it to the side, then asked, “What about the Fox clan? Who was the one who told them?”

Indeed, the Fox clan was skilled at making use of people’s minds and pretending to be peaceful, but if there was no one pushing for the idea, the entire clan would not be this well-behaved.

It was not surprising for the Fox clan to target Sandy but with both the Fox Clan and Wolf Clan targeting their plans on her, and using the same strategy, it was really strange.

Three of them looked at one another, laughed and step back slowly, without intending to say anything.

Gu Mengmeng narrowed her eyes and was about to force the reply out of them when Lea swaggered in with his tail and laughed, “Alright. Stop it, the idea is mine, and I was the one who told the Fox clan. Before I left, I instructed these three fellow to never let others know that I was the mastermind, otherwise it would not succeed. So, no matter how you ask, they won’t say it. The pride of a wolf would not allow them to go back on their promises.”

“Lea Daddy, you are back, we almost could not hold it any longer…” Jialue heaved a sigh of relief, as though he had seen his saviour.

Lea stroked Jialue’s head and laughed, “You guys have already done very well. Since we are back, leave the remaining matters to us. You three should get a good rest.”
