Chapter 242 Harmony
The three Tyers couldn't bear to see their sister being bullied, so they grabbed the little boy and pushed him aside.

The three Harvis had never been able to stand their arrogance, and since it was Vanessa who mocked Lilia first, the three lion boys also joined the "dispute".

Soon the room became noisy.

Qiao Susu was totally unable to cope with this group of kids, especially those who were in the orcs' restless period, which was a bit similar to human adolescence.

She sighed, took Lilia's hand and led her aside to avoid being accidentally hurt, then waved to Bellini to come over. He was small and would definitely not be able to beat his brothers and sisters.

Luka's expression turned cold, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry. He didn't say a word, but when his eyes swept over everyone, the boys and girls who were just about to quarrel fell silent, not daring to say a word.

"Is this what I taught you all these years?"

The children all lowered their heads.

Because of the war, Luka did not send the children to school, but invited teachers to teach them in the imperial court. Anyway, there were many children, just enough to form a class. The four little snow leopards were taught some basics by separate teachers, and the ten older ones spent more time together, but they still didn't get along. Only Luka could scare these children.

Qiao Suisui knew that she had failed in this regard, and there was nothing to explain. After all, she had to do it for the sake of points. She did not have a particularly deep affection for these children. In addition, her own life had just begun, so she would not be tied down by the children. The men knew this very well and never blamed her. After all, they were very grateful and guilty in their hearts for giving birth to cubs for them.

But now she really saw her grown-up child expressing his dissatisfaction with her directly, which made her feel somewhat complicated.

Karl noticed her mood and stopped playing with the three little ones. He walked over quickly, hugged her in his arms, and coaxed her softly: "They are all little debt collectors, always saying things that are unpleasant to the ear. Plus, they are now at an age where even dogs hate them, so they are very annoying. Be good, you play with these four, these four are obedient. You see, if you tell them to go east, they dare not go west."

Then he kicked Tata's butt and said, "Change one for mom."

Tata covered his butt, his eyes rolled around, and the next second he turned into a little snow leopard. He walked over with his tail up and rubbed Qiao Susu's calf with his head.

The other three followed suit, and then four snow leopards appeared at Qiao Susu's feet. They were cute and fluffy.

She had no resistance to this and reached out to touch their fur. Klein was the best. He just rolled on the ground, turned over on his belly, with his little paws dangling, and his dark round eyes seemed to say, "Mom, touch me."

It's impossible to say that she is not biased.

She was partial to the four little lions when they were young, and now that she has four little snow leopards, she is even more partial.

Harvest looked at me with jealous eyes, and whispered, "My mother touched me like this when I was a child."

Tyer felt bad. The six fawn cubs had only seen their mother a few times since they were young, let alone such intimate interactions. It was no wonder Vanessa said such sharp words. In fact, she had cried secretly under the quilt several times, saying that she missed her mother.

Luka knew what these children were thinking, and he understood that they missed Qiao Susu as much as he did. But no matter what the reason, it was wrong to speak to her in that tone.

"Each of you will go back and copy the classics thirty times. You are not allowed to sleep until you finish copying."

Vanessa's eyes widened. A book weighing one pound, so thick, with so many words, to be copied thirty times? They couldn't finish it even if they copied it till dawn.

When she wanted to talk back, Taier glared at her and she pouted unwillingly.

"Any objections?" Luka's voice became even colder.

Everyone hung their heads and said, “No.”

Qiao Susui was a little hesitant about whether to intervene in Luka's education. You know, couples are prone to disputes over the issue of educating children, especially when one party is trying hard to educate the child while the other party is trying to persuade the child. She fully respected Luka. No matter what Luka's intention was, she had to at least maintain a united front with him.

But thirty times is a bit too much.
"Well, how about giving them another choice?" Qiao Suisui asked for Luka's consent and said, "I need help with something. If they are willing, helping me do one thing can offset one copy. What do you think, Luka?" Luka naturally had no objection, but Karl interrupted casually, "What is it? I'll do it for you."

Qiao Susu glared at him unhappily.

What an unreliable father.

Karl's back stiffened as he received her warning. The look in her eyes told him to shut up. He pouted in grievance and picked up a baby from the ground like Xianglin Sao. He didn't see which baby it was, but just started acting pretentiously.

"Well, fine. I have no status in this family anyway, don't you think so, Klein?"

Bellini in his arms glanced at him, speechless and almost written on his face: "Dad, why don't you see who I am before you act?"

Qiao Susu held her forehead with her hand in amusement and looked at Luka, who smiled and nodded at her.

"Who among you is willing?"

Before she finished speaking, Harvest was the first to step forward, with a determined look as if he was about to join the army, and said, "I! I can do it!"

Then Tel, Dikun and others also stood up, Lilia also raised her hand, and Lei An silently followed his eldest brother and took a step forward, indicating that he was willing too.

Vanessa and her two sisters saw that everyone else was eager to help their mother. In fact, they had wanted to stand up for a long time, but they felt embarrassed to do so. At this moment, they stood there in a dilemma, and they were so anxious that they wanted to stamp their feet.

Qiao Susu knew that girls are shy and she was spoiled like a little princess by Libery when she was a child, so she took the initiative to offer a way out.

She said, "But I have a lot to do. How about you all help me?"

The children nodded in unison.

So, in the following time, she asked the girls to help her organize her jewelry and dresses, tidy up her dressing table, and choose clothes to wear tomorrow. She asked the boys to help her buy flower seeds and fertilizers and re-care for the abandoned garden in the imperial court.

In fact, they are not a big deal, but feelings are cultivated little by little from such small things.

For example, when she noticed Vanessa looking envious while sorting her jewelry box, she took the initiative to put a necklace on her.

"This is a gift from Ash." She helped Vanessa put on the necklace clasp and said, "At that time, your father said that he was looking forward to your arrival, so he asked someone to pick the most lustrous pearls and string them into this necklace. I don't have any particular preference for these, but I thought I could give it to you when you grow up."

Vanessa's little face was now full of tears.

She suddenly hugged Qiao Suisui and sobbed, "Mom, Dad and I miss you so much."

"I know, don't worry, I will get dad back."

Vanessa didn't understand why her father would come back, since he was clearly dead.

Then, Qiao Susu picked out suitable jewelry for the other three girls, and the atmosphere became very harmonious.

But the boys' situation is not so good.
