In reality, the two people within the spatial realm were not holding back at all; they expressed their emotions as they pleased, a fact well known to the animals within the space.
Hmph Hmph and the others had already retreated far, far away. Occasionally, strange sounds could still be heard, those uniquely human noises. Tonight, for instance, they heard them several times again.
At this moment, Bai Sheng was like a boneless, four-limbed fish, lying limply on Zuo Ye’s chest. She wanted to do nothing but breathe.
If only she hadn't said, "Husband, let's have another little one." Zuo Ye had gone mad, and it was endless.
However, apart from the physical exhaustion, her body and mind were extremely comfortable, so comfortable that she didn't want to move at all.
A smile played on Zuo Ye's lips, his eyes shining as he looked at her. Seeing that her hair had covered her forehead, he gently brushed it aside with his fingertip.
After resting for a while, Bai Sheng said lazily, "Husband, I plan to go to Da Xia to see how Wen Second Brother is doing, and if he's encountered any difficulties.
Also, I want to take Xiao Hua to see Yan Shuo at the Yan family. I've noticed Xiao Hua has been looking rather worried lately."
"Mm, I'll accompany you," Zuo Ye said softly.
Bai Sheng shook her head. "No need, I'll go alone. Your camp is very important. We still don't know Beiqiang's intentions, whether they will attack our Qinghuang or Da Xia first, so you are needed here."
"Then, my good treasure, you must visit me often, don't forget about me," Zuo Ye kissed her lips, his voice carrying a hint of childish coaxing.
"Mm, don't worry. Whom I forget, I will never forget my husband," Bai Sheng winked and smiled.
Upon hearing that her sister-in-law was taking her to the capital to see Yan Shuo, Zuo Hua maintained a calm demeanor, but her heart was filled with excitement. She woke up early to wash and dress up.
The capital was indeed in a state of chaos. Many shops had closed, and the city was extremely desolate.
Bai Sheng and Zuo Hua, wearing veiled hats, walked along the street.
From time to time, people carrying luggage, with their entire families, or pulling carts loaded with their belongings, passed by them.
It was evident that these were people fleeing their homes.
Both of their hearts began to feel a little tense, and they couldn't help but quicken their pace.
The Yan family's gate was tightly shut. Bai Sheng and Zuo Hua stood before it.
Bai Sheng looked at Zuo Hua and whispered, "Xiao Hua, do you... want to knock and ask about the Yan family's situation?"
Zuo Hua clenched her fingers tightly, her expression somewhat complicated. "Sister-in-law, what if... he doesn't want to see me? Should I not have come?"
"Whether he wants to see you or not, you must first ensure you have no regrets and clear your own mind.
Instead of thinking about it constantly and suffering every day, it's better to go forward and ask for clarity," Bai Sheng said softly, gently patting her shoulder.
Zuo Hua pursed her lips, nodded, took a deep breath, and walked forward to knock on the door.
The gate creaked open, revealing an old man's head in the gap. "Who... are you looking for?"
Bai Sheng gave Zuo Hua an encouraging look. Zuo Hua asked, "Sir, I am a friend of your young master Yan Shuo. I... want to ask, with the capital so chaotic now, is your family still staying in the capital?"
The old man cautiously sized up Zuo Hua. "Which friend of my young master Shuo are you?"
Zuo Hua paused, then instead of answering, she asked, "Sir, could you trouble yourself to call for young master Shuo? I have something I want to ask him."
The old man said indifferently, "My young master Shuo has gone out to purchase gifts for his wedding."
"Wedding?!" Zuo Hua felt a sudden tightness in her chest, a pain that came from nowhere. "Yan Shuo, he... is he betrothed?"
Zuo Hua couldn't believe it. It had only been two or three months, and with the current unrest in the capital, how could he get betrothed at this time?
And which young lady was he betrothed to?
"My young master Shuo is already betrothed to the daughter of the General Who Pacifies the South," the old man said, glancing at Zuo Hua. "Perhaps you could state your names, and I can inform the master and madam to see if they have time to receive you?"
"No... no need, thank you, sir," Zuo Hua said weakly, then turned and walked down the steps in front of the gate.
Bai Sheng stepped forward and took her hand, saying softly, "Why don't we find Yan Shuo and ask him directly what's going on?"
Zuo Hua held back tears, bit her lip, and shook her head. "No need, sister-in-law. Let's go... let's go see Brother Wen."
Bai Sheng looked at her steadily. "Are you really decided? Not going to ask Yan Shuo personally?"
"I've decided," Zuo Hua nodded solemnly. "The timing of our meeting was wrong. I can't bear to leave my family, and he won't leave Da Xia. Actually, on the day we parted, we already... already..."
Zuo Hua was so choked with emotion that she couldn't speak.
Bai Sheng gently hugged her, patting her back. "Hua Hua, you are not even fifteen yet, you are still young.
In life, some people will come and go, and some will stay and never leave. That person is the one who will accompany you for a lifetime.
So, I believe that in the near future, you will definitely meet someone who cherishes you like a treasure and is willing to accompany you for a lifetime."
"Will it really... happen? Sister-in-law?" Zuo Hua asked, sobbing.
"It definitely will. Trust your sister-in-law. When has your sister-in-law ever lied to you?" Bai Sheng took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
Zuo Hua cried, "Mm, I believe... sister-in-law."
Bai Sheng linked arms with her and headed towards Wen Zhimuo's jewelry store.
To their surprise, the shop was closed, as were the Wei brothers' entertainment venues not far away.
Bai Sheng asked Hmph Hmph to check if the goods in the shops had been collected.
Hmph Hmph said the shops were empty.
It seemed that Brother Wen had already returned to Tasha County.
Bai Sheng then took Zuo Hua and teleported to Wen Zhimuo's home in Tasha County.
The servants in the Wen mansion were busy packing their belongings, appearing to be in a hurry to flee.
Upon seeing Bai Sheng and Zuo Hua, Wen Zhimuo was extremely excited. He shouted from afar, "Little sister, why have you come? I was just thinking of defecting to Qinghuang and seeking refuge with you!"
Hearing this, Bai Sheng was overjoyed. "Brother Wen, I heard the capital is in turmoil, and I wanted to come and see you. If you are truly willing to follow us to Qinghuang, that would be wonderful!"
"We definitely have to go! Da Xia is like mud that can't be plastered onto a wall," Wen Zhimuo sighed. "Little Sheng, during this chaotic period, why did only the two of you come? Where is your brother-in-law?"
Bai Sheng smiled. "He is now the Protector General of Qinghuang and is currently guarding Qinghuang's western border. He cannot get away. Don't worry, my martial arts are not bad now, and I can also use蛊 and poison. Ordinary people cannot do anything to me."
Wen Zhimuo breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. Are you doing well in Qinghuang? Have those people in Qinghuang troubled you?"
"We are doing quite well," Bai Sheng said with a hearty laugh. "Brother Wen, Qinghuang still has a position for Minister of Commerce reserved for you. You'll have to be an official when you get there."
Wen Zhimuo laughed heartily. "Oh, little sister, what you're saying makes me impatient."
