The three little ones each expressed their opinions.
"I want to go find great-grandfather."
"Me too, I heard them talking. Great-grandfather doesn't want Daddy and Mommy to be together!"
"We finally have Daddy and Mommy, I can't lose them again!"
"But, should we tell Mommy before we go?"
"Mommy is sleeping, she definitely hasn't woken up yet. Let's not disturb Mommy! When we've dealt with great-grandfather, Mommy and Daddy will both be happy."
"That's right!"
As the three little ones were talking, they had already made up their minds.
And they were ready to leave immediately.
Yun Shu, hearing the sounds outside, was about to stop them when her gaze suddenly shifted. She said softly, "Mommy is awake. You can come in now."
The little ones heard this and quickly pushed open the door to come in.
Their small heads poked out one by one.
"Mommy!"
Yun Shu smiled. "Did you sleep well last night?"
The three of them nodded together.
Their exceptional features and little faces looked incredibly adorable.
Seeing them first thing in the morning instantly brightened her mood.
"Mommy just heard you talking about going to see great-grandfather, is that right?" Yun Shu asked gently.
The three little ones thought Yun Shu was angry.
Yun Xiao Jing quickly explained, "Mommy, we want to go tell great-grandfather clearly. Mommy is the best Mommy in the world. If Daddy is going to marry another woman, we won't pay attention to Daddy anymore!"
"And we won't pay attention to him either!" Gu Xiao Feng added.
Zhan Xiao Li frowned, his seriousness beyond his years. He also nodded, "We are all on Mommy's side!"
Yun Shu's heart suddenly felt incredibly warm. She reached out and stroked their heads. "Mommy will handle this matter. You don't need to worry."
"We can help Mommy," Zhan Xiao Li said very seriously.
They didn't want to always be protected by Mommy.
They really wanted to protect Mommy.
Looking at the three children, Yun Shu's heart was filled with complex emotions, be it happiness or sentimentality. They had grown up and could now help and protect her.
Thinking this, Yun Shu smiled. "You've all grown into young men. Since you're young men, you should help Mommy too. Then Mommy has a task for you."
"A task?"
The little ones' eyes lit up.
They all showed expectant gazes.
"You will go see great-grandfather later..."
The little ones listened attentively, all saying they would definitely be able to do it.
...
A peaceful morning.
Breakfast had just finished.
The servants swept away the scattered leaves and dust in the courtyard.
Old Master Qin lay on a rattan chair, yawning and basking in the sun.
The servants found it strange, why did the old master seem so sleepy these past two days?
It was still morning, and after breakfast, why was the old master feeling drowsy again?
Old Master Qin yawned, feeling drowsy and also somewhat puzzled. He usually liked to go for a walk at this time, but he had been very sleepy yesterday and today.
It seemed like he could fall asleep just by closing his eyes.
He seemed to hear a bell ring.
A very ancient bell sound.
He suddenly woke up again, his sleepiness vanishing.
The gatekeeper hurried over.
He approached and reported, "Old Master, a Miss Jiang wishes to see you."
"Miss Jiang? I don't know her. Ask her what it's about directly," Old Master Qin said impatiently.
He didn't have time to see any miscellaneous people.
A while later, the gatekeeper ran back. "She says she's from the Night King's manor, has met Old Master before, and that this is a gift for meeting you."
Old Master Qin remembered. He had met that girl at the Night King's manor yesterday.
That girl seemed to have some improper intentions.
She had designs on his grandson.
He casually glanced at the item in the gatekeeper's hand.
It was a bell.
The gatekeeper was puzzled. He had seen people give money, jewelry, and ginseng, but never a bell. Fortunately, the bell looked like it was made of gold.
The moment he saw the bell, Old Master Qin's eyes suddenly became vacant.
He stared intently at the bell.
The servants were puzzled by Old Master Qin's gaze. What was wrong with him?
The bell looked quite ordinary, at most it was made of gold. What treasures didn't they have in the Qin Manor that would make the old master look at it so intently!
While they were confused, they heard Old Master Qin give an order, "Please invite Miss Jiang in."
"Ah, yes!"
The gatekeeper immediately went to invite her.
But as he took a step back, he heard Old Master Qin's command, "Put down the bell."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes. Look at this old servant's memory." The gatekeeper quickly put down the bell and then nimbly went to invite the person in.
A moment later.
The three little ones arrived at the Qin Manor.
Yun Xiao Jing's eyes darted around. He saw a carriage parked nearby and exclaimed, "Great-grandfather must be meeting a guest."
"Meeting a guest? Then let's go in and take a look first, without disturbing great-grandfather," Zhan Xiao Li said.
Zhan Xiao Feng nodded. "Okay."
Seeing it was the three little ones, the gatekeeper let them in, but he still reminded them that the old master was meeting a guest.
Zhan Xiao Li then asked who it was.
The gatekeeper said it was a Miss Jiang.
Zhan Xiao Li's face instantly turned cold.
"What does she want seeing great-grandfather?" Yun Xiao Jing asked, hugging his small arms, full of confusion.
Zhan Xiao Feng pursed his lips. "She definitely doesn't have good intentions!"
"Let's go take a look," Zhan Xiao Li immediately decided. Others wouldn't be disturbed, but Jiang Luo Xi must be seen. They couldn't let Jiang Luo Xi deceive great-grandfather!
Soon.
The three little ones saw Jiang Luo Xi talking with their great-grandfather.
Jiang Luo Xi wore a fake smile, chatting with her grandfather animatedly.
Zhan Xiao Li suddenly narrowed his eyes and his lips pressed tightly together. He suddenly had a strong feeling that Jiang Luo Xi was doing something bad. If Jiang Luo Xi's conversation with great-grandfather wasn't stopped, great-grandfather would be in trouble!
"Xiao Jing, your snake! Quickly make the snake bite Jiang Luo Xi!" Zhan Xiao Li said quickly to Yun Xiao Jing.
Without a word, Yun Xiao Jing grabbed a small snake from the cloth bag on his person and threw it out.
The little snake slithered rapidly towards Jiang Luo Xi.
At this moment, Jiang Luo Xi was holding a bell.
A silver bell, exuding an ancient aura.
She said softly, "Old Master Qin, I am the most suitable person for the Night King. I need you to ask the Night King to marry me as his concubine. If the Night King refuses, Old Master Qin must find all means to make him agree."
She spoke these words very softly.
Zhan Xiao Li and the others were too far away to hear.
There were no servants around, they all seemed to have withdrawn.
Old Master Qin's gaze was on the bell. He was holding a golden bell, while he looked at the silver bell in Jiang Luo Xi's hand.
After hearing Jiang Luo Xi's request, he hesitated.
