"It's for you!" Yun Xiaojing nodded.
Gu Xiaofeng looked at the candied hawthorn being handed to him, and his heart suddenly warmed.
Seeing that Gu Xiaofeng hadn't taken it yet, Yun Xiaojing directly grabbed Gu Xiaofeng's hand, making Gu Xiaofeng hold the candied hawthorn.
"I love candied hawthorns the most! Try it quickly!" Yun Xiaojing said, and without waiting for Gu Xiaofeng to say anything, he bounced and skipped back to the General's Mansion.
Gu Xiaofeng lowered his head, looking at the candied hawthorn in his hand, and blinked his eyes.
He licked it.
It was sweet!
This was his first time eating candied hawthorn.
It was very sweet.
He took another bite.
It was sour and sweet.
His heart felt as if it was filled with sour and sweet.
He was very happy.
Then, bite after bite, the candied hawthorn was quickly finished.
He felt a sense of lingering desire.
Looking at the gate of the General's Mansion, he still couldn't see the bad woman.
He was a little disappointed, unable to avenge his godmother.
However, he looked at the candied hawthorn in his hand and began to lose himself in thought.
…
Zhan Xiaoli proposed to visit his great-grandfather, and Zhan Tianye agreed.
However, he made a three-chapter pact with Zhan Xiaoli, forbidding Zhan Xiaoli from thinking of visiting Yun Yueyin.
Seeing that his father still didn't know the truth, Zhan Xiaoli sighed in his heart.
But he couldn't say it now.
He put on a cold little face, "Okay."
"Qiu Lu, you go with him," Zhan Tianye commanded.
Qiu Lu immediately agreed.
Then he took Zhan Xiaoli to the Qin Mansion.
At this moment, Old Master Qin was listening with great interest to the servant recounting what he had found out.
All about Shu Yatou.
One by one, piece by piece.
Indeed, it was even more than what his grandson-in-law had shown him yesterday.
And even more shocking.
Shu Yatou really dared to do anything to hide her abilities in the past!
In full view of everyone, she pestered her grandson-in-law and even said she wanted to have children with him!
This!
If this were true, how good would that be!
He would wake up laughing in his dreams.
However, his grandson-in-law didn't seem to have that fortune.
As he was sighing.
The servant reported that his great-grandson had arrived.
"Quick, quick, let Xiaoli in."
Soon, Zhan Xiaoli appeared before Old Master Qin.
Old Master Qin already liked Zhan Xiaoli very much, and as soon as he saw Zhan Xiaoli, he couldn't stop smiling. "Oh my, my darling, are you missing your great-grandfather? Come, come, come!"
He beckoned to Zhan Xiaoli.
Zhan Xiaoli ran over quickly.
He threw himself into Old Master Qin's arms.
"Great-grandfather," Zhan Xiaoli said.
His voice was tender and milky, with an inherent coolness that couldn't be removed.
He was very, very much like Zhan Tianye.
Old Master Qin smiled and said, "Xiaoli, Great-grandfather has many fun little things here. I bought them on the way to the capital. I was going to give them to you the day before yesterday, but Great-grandfather is old and forgetful and forgot! Fortunately, you're here!"
Zhan Xiaoli nodded absentmindedly, "Thank you, Great-grandfather!"
Old Master Qin sighed in his heart that Xiaoli was good in every way, except he was too taciturn.
Zhan Xiaoli wanted to escape, but he found that Uncle Qiu was staring at him, and there were many guards in his great-grandfather's mansion. He couldn't find a chance to run out.
He was very anxious in his heart.
He really wanted to see his mother.
"Great-grandfather, I want to sleep with you tonight," Zhan Xiaoli's eyes rolled, and he came up with an idea.
Old Master Qin initially thought he had misheard. After he reacted, his eyes widened in shock. "You said you want to sleep with me?"
"Yes!"
Old Master Qin was immediately touched, his eyes welling up with tears. He never expected to be so important in Xiaoli's heart.
He had always thought that Zhan Xiaoli didn't like his great-grandfather very much.
Who would have thought!
It was truly that Xiaoli was too reserved. It seemed that he must have missed him terribly over the past year, and now he had taken the initiative to say he wanted to sleep with him!
Qiu Lu, standing beside them, was greatly surprised by Zhan Xiaoli's words.
The young heir had disliked sleeping with others since he was ten months old, and he didn't need anyone else in his room.
Now, he was actually asking to sleep with Old Master Qin!
It was too astonishing!
…
It was not until dusk that Yun Changfeng returned from the military camp.
Yun Shu was having dinner with Yun Xiaojing, and a premonition of unease arose in her heart.
For Yun Changfeng, the matters in the military camp should have been easy to resolve.
But not returning by now meant that something very tricky had happened.
"Is Mother worried about Grandfather?" Yun Xiaojing asked.
Yun Shu hummed, "I am indeed worried about your grandfather."
Jing Heng, who was beside them, said, "Master, I'll go out of the city to take a look!"
Yun Shu's eyes flickered. She glanced at the sky outside. It wasn't dark yet, so she could go out of the city. She nodded, "Go ahead."
"Okay!"
Jing Heng left immediately.
Yun Xiaojing thought of the little beggar he had seen outside today. The more he thought about it, the more he felt a sense of camaraderie with the little beggar, a special sense of familiarity.
So he said, "Mother, I saw a little beggar outside the General's Mansion today. That little beggar looks quite like me, and I feel like I've seen him before! But he said he hadn't seen me. I thought about it carefully, and I also feel like I haven't seen him, but I just feel like I have."
Upon hearing this, Yun Shu didn't think much of it and smiled, "It's normal for people to look alike."
Yun Xiaojing nodded, his star-like eyes sparkling, "Yes! Mother, I miss Brother. Can I go to the Night King's Mansion to see Brother?"
Yun Shu curled her lips, "You want to go to the Night King's Mansion?"
"Brother is alone and very lonely! I stayed at the Night King's Mansion these past few days and saw with my own eyes that Brother is eccentric and rarely leaves his room. Even if he leaves his room, he only says a few words to others. Even if I talk to him a lot, he doesn't say two words back. Mother, Brother is really pitiful! Did Mother treat a child before? She said that children who don't speak or interact with others at several years old have autism?" Yun Xiaojing blinked his big eyes, making Zhan Xiaoli sound extremely pathetic.
He actually just wanted to see Zhan Xiaoli!
He was afraid that Zhan Xiaoli would be bullied by the bad woman.
The scumbag father was going to marry the bad woman. If the bad woman married into the Night King's Mansion, what would happen if Zhan Xiaoli were bullied?
Yun Shu heard this and narrowed her lazy, cold eyes.
Autism?
She suddenly remembered that Zhan Xiaoli was indeed reticent.
And his personality was cold.
He barely spoke a few words even when facing Zhan Tianye.
Suddenly, a hint of frost appeared on her brow.
Just then, the gatekeeper ran over.
He announced loudly from outside the gate, "Miss, Old Madam Yun has arrived and is making a fuss at the mansion gate, demanding to see Miss."
Yun Shu withdrew her thoughts and glanced coldly towards the outside of the gate, "Tell Old Madam Yun that it's dark, and the General's Mansion does not receive guests."
Seeing this, A'cha took the initiative to say, "Miss, I'll go take a look."
In the past two days, she had learned a lot about the General's Mansion from Yu Le.
She also knew what kind of person Old Madam Yun, who had once lived in the General's Mansion, was and how harshly she had treated Miss.
