n

nShe guessed that An Jiuyue must have arranged for her children to live somewhere.

n

nThough none of them knew where the children were, they knew it would definitely be a place they could not find.

n

nShe might be too afraid to provoke the furious An Jiuyue, but she had indeed done her wrong. She had to apologize. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards An Jiuyue.

n

n“Sister-in-law—”

n

n“Drink your tea.”

n

nBefore she could say anything, An Jiuyue handed her a cup of tea.

n

nQian Yiyun was speechless.

n

nThis is definitely not the time to drink tea. Is this farewell tea? Will she chase us away after we drink this cup of tea?

n

nIf that’s the case, then I won’t drink this cup of tea! I refuse!

n

nHowever, her hands did not obey her thoughts. She took the teacup and took a small sip.

n

n“Mmm.”

n

nWhat a strong medicinal smell!

n

nShe almost vomited. Is this tea? Or medicine?

n

n“Qian Jiyun, come and drink too. Yan Nuo, you too.”

n

nAn Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun after she saw Qian Yiyun drink it. Yan Nuo had also returned after settling Wang Xing’er’s corpse. He had set a large fire, which burned Wang Xing’er to ashes.

n

nAfter the four of them drank the medicinal tea, An Jiuyue took out a large porcelain bottle and handed it to Yan Nuo.

n

n“Scatter this all over the paths we’ve taken before, especially the one Wang Xing’er took. Don’t miss a single corner,” she instructed.

n

n“Yes, Master.”

n

nYan Nuo obeyed and went to do it happily.

n

nHe was relieved she was willing to send him on an errand. It meant she did not treat him as an outsider.

n

nQian Yiyun heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Yan Nuo leave. She was also thankful her sister-in-law did not treat them as outsiders.

n

n…

n

nAfter dinner, An Jiuyue dragged Qian Jiyun out the door after some thought.

n

nAlthough she had raised Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong, they were still Qian Jiyun’s sons. She could not hide them from him, right?

n

n“Let’s go. I’ll take you to them.”

n

nAfter walking for a while, An Jiuyue stopped and turned around to speak to Qian Jiyun.

n

nQian Jiyun stopped in his tracks and looked at An Jiuyue in surprise. He thought she would not let anyone learn her secret. He did not expect her to reveal it to him so easily.

n

nAlthough he was very happy, he still frowned slightly.

n

nThe young lady is too honest. She might suffer in the future. I’m a soldier and can’t protect her all the time.

n

n“Jiuyue…”

n

nAn Jiuyue did not have the time to listen to him. She brought him into the residence in the Microcosm.

n

n“Greetings, Master.”

n

nServant One bowed and greeted them when he saw them enter.

n

n“This is Young Master Qian.”

n

nAn Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and introduced him to the servant.

n

n“Greetings, Young Master Qian.” Servant One bowed to Qian Jiyun.

n

n“Jiuyue, they are…”

n

nQian Jiyun was surprised to see a male servant beside An Jiuyue.

n

n“They’re—”

n

n“Mother, Uncle Qian.”

n

nQian Yizheng and Qian Yirong were studying the mechanical bird toy their mother had given them in the courtyard. They turned around when they heard the commotion and ran over immediately when they saw them.

n

nAn Jiuyue was interrupted and squatted down to pick up Qian Yirong.
