Both eldest and second elder brother were startled, and they cast a reproachful look at their father, Xiao Chifeng.
Xiao Chifeng quickly raised his hands and said, "I didn't spill the beans! Your mommy just happened to come looking for me, and just by chance, she ran into you guys…"
Before Xiao Chifeng could finish his sentence, Sikou Yao sternly rebuked him, "Silence! Helping these two scamps sneak off the mountain and not informing me about it! I'll deal with you when we get back home!"
Xiao Chifeng looked helplessly towards his two little precious sons, shrugging his shoulders, adopting a "I can't manage your mommy, you guys are on your own" attitude.
The eldest and the second son exchanged glances, realizing that they would not be able to hold their ground facing mommy's wrath, all they could do was admit their mistake and play the emotional card with mommy.
The brothers stepped forward in unison, each of them holding onto one of Sikou Yao's arms.
