If Elder Qin had heard these words, his eyes would have reddened again.
She comforted them a few sentences, saying that Elder Qin was fine now.
Normally, the three little ones were very talkative, but today they were all quiet.
Especially when they got out of the carriage, the three little ones were very well-behaved.
They followed Yun Shu into the Qin mansion.
She must have arrived a step earlier than Zhan Tianye.
Upon seeing Yun Shu and the three little ones, the servants of the Qin mansion rushed to greet them, "Second Miss Yun!"
"I've come to see the Elder Master."
The servant immediately led the way, "After the Elder Master finished his breakfast, he went to see the newly purchased ducklings. All these ducklings were bought for the little heirs to play with."
Hearing about the ducklings, the three little ones' eyes lit up, ducklings!
"Grand-grandfather bought us ducklings? That's great!" Yun Xiao Jing loved little, fluffy ducklings the most.
The little snake in her arms seemed to feel that its favored position was threatened and moved restlessly.
Yun Xiao Jing noticed and immediately grabbed the little snake with her small hand.
She didn't say anything.
But the little snake knew its little master was angry and immediately became obedient, not daring to act out again.
"I want to see the ducklings!" Zhan Xiao Feng eagerly wanted to see the ducklings.
They had told their grand-grandfather before that they liked ducklings, and then their grand-grandfather actually bought them!
"Hahaha, the Elder Master said you would all like them. The servants picked them out carefully. All the ducklings look exactly the same!" the servant said excitedly.
The three sons of the Night King were truly adorable.
Lately, Elder Master had been talking about Xiao Li, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Jing constantly. Even before sleeping, he would mention whether the three little ones had slept and if they missed him.
These three were now truly the apple of Elder Master's eye.
And Second Miss Yun, whenever Elder Master mentioned her, he was filled with pride and self-satisfaction, saying it was their family's accumulated virtue that allowed Second Miss Yun to fall in love with the Night King.
Unconsciously, they arrived at the backyard of the Qin mansion.
The backyard not only housed ducks but also other small animals.
There was also a small fish pond stocked with many goldfish.
Dogs were also kept in the yard.
This was Yun Shu's first time visiting the backyard of the Qin mansion.
She knew that Elder Qin was old and often felt lonely. Even with a grandson like Zhan Tianye, he still seemed solitary and isolated.
Therefore, he kept some cats and dogs.
"Grand-grandfather!"
The three little ones ran towards Elder Qin, full of excitement.
Hearing the crisp "Grand-grandfather," Elder Qin was overjoyed beyond measure.
He turned around and opened his arms to the three little ones, "Oh, come here quickly, let Grand-grandfather hug you. I missed you so much yesterday that my heart ached!"
Last night, he dreamt that someone was trying to take them away. He tried to bribe them with money, but he couldn't get them back. Even recalling the dream now made him feel heartbroken.
They were the apple of his eye now.
After hugging the three little ones, Elder Qin said with a wide grin, "Look, I bought you three ducklings. Aren't they lovely? I dare say these ducklings are the most beautiful in the entire capital! Ducks from other households definitely can't compare!"
"They are the most beautiful ducklings I've ever seen!" the three little ones said in unison.
Elder Qin smiled contentedly, "As long as you like them, that's good, that's good."
Yun Shu watched from the side as Elder Qin played with the three little ones.
After playing for a while, Elder Qin clearly got tired. When he walked over to sit down, Yun Shu also walked over and sat down.
Then she gently asked, "Who was the person who abducted the Elder Master on the street yesterday?"
Yun Shu knew that Elder Qin was a shrewd person and that she could ask him directly what she wanted to ask. There was no need for pleasantries between them.
If it happened once, it could happen a second time. If the kidnapping was unsuccessful once, there was a possibility of a second attempt.
Elder Qin was stunned at her question. He seemed to have just noticed Yun Shu's presence. He said indifferently, "You don't need to worry about this matter. The Night King can handle it, and I can handle it. If you have nothing else to do, you don't need to stay here. I'll have someone send them back when they're done playing and want to go home."
His words conveyed a certain coldness.
It was a clear contrast to his usual demeanor, where he had no secrets from Yun Shu.
He was very cold.
Yun Shu noticed it.
Her expression shifted, and she glanced around. Seeing no one, she asked in a low voice with doubt, "Does Elder Master have any unspeakable difficulties? Now that I'm here, Elder Master, you don't have to hide any unspeakable difficulties. You don't have to bear them alone."
Elder Qin heard this and seemed to find it amusing. He frowned and sneered, "Unspeakable difficulties? You're overthinking it. You can leave now. From now on, if you can avoid coming to the Qin mansion, don't come."
His words were very resolute.
So resolute that Yun Shu was shocked.
She had never seen Elder Qin speak to her so harshly!
This was absolutely the first time!
What had Elder Qin experienced during the time he was abducted yesterday?
Why had his attitude towards her completely changed after he returned?
For a moment, a cloud of doubt spread in Yun Shu's heart.
Seeing Yun Shu's puzzled expression, Elder Qin became even more impatient, "I won't tell you anything you ask. I misjudged you before! Yun Shu, hurry up and leave. I don't want to treat you too badly in front of Xiao Li and the others."
Seeing this, Yun Shu knew that further words were useless. She stood up and instructed the three little ones who were playing with the ducklings, "Mommy has something to attend to, you can continue playing here."
"Okay, Mommy!"
The three little ones responded in unison.
Before leaving, Yun Shu took a deep look at Elder Qin, her heart filled with even more questions.
What exactly happened?
Why had Elder Qin's attitude changed so drastically?
As Yun Shu walked away, Elder Qin's face returned to its usual smiling, amiable look as he watched the three little ones.
The three little ones, while playing with the ducklings, talked in low voices.
"Did you guys feel like Grand-grandfather argued with Mommy? I saw it when he was talking to Mommy just now. He was very unhappy," Xiao Jing said.
Xiao Li nodded, "I saw it. I thought I was mistaken. It turns out Grand-grandfather was really angry."
Xiao Feng asked curiously, "Why?"
"I'm not sure. I'll go and ask!" Yun Xiao Jing's eyes darted around. He immediately put down the duckling and ran to Elder Qin on his short legs.
Elder Qin picked him up, "Xiao Jing, why aren't you playing with the ducklings anymore?"
"Grand-grandfather, are you angry with Mommy?" Yun Xiao Jing blinked his big eyes, his tone innocent.
