"What did you say? Three children?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Yueyin's expression changed drastically, and she immediately looked out the window.
"Over there. Although I can't see clearly, it seems one child is the Night King's youngest son. Is she taking the Night King's youngest son out to the temple fair?" Yan Qi was utterly astonished, frowning as she added, "Why would Yun Shu bring the Night King's youngest son out? Has Yun Shu already succeeded in seducing the Night King? Then the other two children..."
Yun Yueyin looked in the direction Yan Qi pointed and indeed saw Yun Shu.
She also saw three children surrounding Yun Shu.
One of them was Zhan Xiaoli, and the other was... Gu Xiaofeng!
Even from a distance, it was evident that Gu Xiaofeng and Yun Shu were very close.
How dare he be so intimate with Yun Shu!
Had he completely disregarded her words?!
Wait!
The other child...
Who was it?
Could it be the child who fell off the cliff with Yun Shu at the end? That child didn't die?
Regardless of the stranger child's identity, Gu Xiaofeng's actions at this moment infuriated Yun Yueyin.
"How audacious!" Yun Yueyin gritted her teeth in anger. Didn't Gu Xiaofeng fear she would know and get angry? He dared to be so close to Yun Shu!
Yan Qi was surprised, "Who is so audacious?"
Yun Yueyin gritted her teeth and watched for a moment longer, but Yun Shu had already led the three children into the crowd and moved away, becoming indistinct. Her voice was cold, "I'm talking about Yun Shu. How audacious of her to ruin my plans time and time again!"
"She's smarter now than she was five years ago, and with her father protecting her, it might be difficult for us... to harm her! Moreover, she actually succeeded in seducing the Night King! This shows she's cunning, targeting the Night King's children first." Yan Qi said hatefully, her brows tightly knitted.
When Yun Yueyin heard the words "Night King's children," a hint of smugness flickered in her eyes. She knew all of Yun Shu's secrets, but Yun Shu knew nothing of hers!
Therefore, she still held the initiative and control over Yun Shu's life and death.
Just then, Meng Jiatong arrived.
"I apologize. There's a temple fair today, and it's too crowded, so my carriage couldn't get through," Meng Jiatong said as she walked over, full of apologies.
Yun Yueyin withdrew her thoughts and smiled, shaking her head, "It's fine."
"May I ask why Young Miss Yun is looking for me?" Meng Jiatong asked in confusion.
In the past, she had really wanted to befriend Yun Yueyin and her companions because she had no opportunities to make friends in the capital. Seeing Yun Yueyin surrounded by others, she also wished to be Yun Yueyin's friend, but Yun Yueyin had always kept her at a distance.
It was quite a surprise for her that Yan Qi had sent someone to the Meng residence today, stating that Yun Yueyin wanted to see her.
Yun Yueyin got straight to the point, "I know the Meng family has always been skilled in disguises, especially your grandfather, Old Master Meng, whose disguise techniques are extraordinary. Could you please take me to meet Old Master Meng?"
"Ah? Meet my grandfather?" Meng Jiatong was a little surprised.
She had initially thought Yun Yueyin wanted to be friends with her, but unexpectedly, she wanted to meet her grandfather.
In the capital, many people approached her precisely to meet her grandfather; few genuinely wanted to be her friend.
Despite a slight sense of disappointment, Meng Jiatong still nodded, "Alright, I'll go back and speak with my grandfather today. You can come directly to my home tomorrow..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yun Yueyin interrupted her, "Please take me to see Old Master Meng now. I have an urgent matter. I'd be grateful!"
"Huh?" Meng Jiatong was a bit stunned. So urgent?
...
Furong Restaurant.
Yun Shu took the three little ones to the restaurant.
They went directly to the third floor.
By sheer coincidence, this restaurant was also the property of Old Master Qin. Old Master Qin, by chance, felt a craving today and didn't want to eat at his mansion, so he came to his own restaurant.
He happened to be on the third floor, and they met!
"Shu girl!" Old Master Qin exclaimed.
Yun Shu said in surprise, "Old Master Qin, you're here for a meal too?"
"Yes!" Old Master Qin nodded, then looked down at Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng. Why were they with Shu girl?
Suddenly, he looked at Yun Xiaojing.
"Why are those two with Shu girl?" Old Master Qin asked.
"Because they went to the General's mansion for a visit! They are all my brothers! Grandpa Qin!" Yun Xiaojing replied first.
He knew Grandpa Qin.
"Grandpa?" Zhan Xiaoli looked at Yun Xiaojing, who was clearly their great-great-grandfather!
Gu Xiaofeng was also bewildered.
"Yes, I've known Grandpa Qin for a long time," Yun Xiaojing explained with a grin.
Old Master Qin laughed, "You mischievous little imp, why don't you call me Grandpa anymore? Call me Great-Great-Grandfather like Xiaoli and them!"
"Right!" Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng nodded simultaneously. They couldn't have the wrong generation!
They could be brothers.
But they couldn't be uncles!
Yun Shu didn't think much of it at first, but after hearing Old Master Qin's words and seeing Zhan Xiaoli's reaction, she couldn't help but laugh.
Unintentionally, the generation had been mixed up.
"Grandpa Qin is their Great-Great-Grandfather?" Yun Xiaojing was shocked and surprised.
Great-Great-Grandfather?
If he was the great-great-grandfather of Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng, wouldn't he also be his great-great-grandfather?!
"Yes!" The old man and the two youngsters said almost in unison.
Yun Xiaojing immediately understood, his starry eyes shining as he rushed towards Old Master Qin, "Great-Great-Grandfather!"
"Hahahaha! It sounds so pleasant to my ears, as if you were born to call me Great-Great-Grandfather!" Old Master Qin's eyes crinkled into slits as he laughed.
He was overjoyed by these repeated calls of Great-Great-Grandfather.
These were Shu girl's sons!
If Shu girl took a liking to his grandson...
Then this Great-Great-Grandfather would sound even better, even more legitimate!
"Come, come, come, I'm treating you all today! Eat whatever you want," Old Master Qin said generously to Yun Xiaojing and the other two.
Oh my!
These three, not to mention, looked so alike.
They were all so handsome!
After ushering the three inside, Old Master Qin paused at the door and said to Yun Shu, "Shu girl, look how happily Xiaojing and my grandson's two sons are playing together. They seem to be brothers by nature. Why don't you consider my grandson?"
If his grandson were fortunate enough to marry Shu girl, then he could finally be at ease.
He wouldn't have to worry about who would threaten his grandson's life in the future.
Seeing that Old Master Qin had hit the nail on the head with his words, except for the last sentence, Yun Shu smiled and shook her head, "I have no plans to get married."
Although Old Master Qin was a little disappointed, he still beamed, "When you do decide to get married, you can prioritize my grandson!"
Then, without waiting for Yun Shu's reply, he quickly entered the room and called out to the three little ones, "Quick, see what you want to eat!"
Yun Shu smiled inwardly, looking at the three sons in the room, and thought to herself that their identities wouldn't be able to be hidden for much longer.
...
Meng Residence.
Meng Jiatong led Yun Yueyin to the door of Old Master Meng's room.
