n“Be careful. Don’t fall.”

n

nQian Jiyun picked up Qian Yizheng and shelved his questions regarding the male servant temporarily.

n

nThey coaxed the two children for a while before Servant Three arrived carrying Lu’er.

n

nZheng’er and Rong’er could not keep still in their arms any longer and wriggled down to play with Lu’er.

n

nThey were still playing with the mechanical bird toy as they had yet to figure out how it could fly.

n

nAn Jiuyue knew what Qian Jiyun wanted to ask, so she explained, “They’re not humans. They’re paper effigies I got at the Points Mall. I can’t explain it to you in a short time, so I won’t.”

n

nIn ancient times, no one would question a man if he had thousands of female attendants.

n

nHowever, people would not accept a woman with a male attendant. They would point fingers and say bad things about her.

n

nThat was the present situation.

n

nFortunately, her servants stayed within the microcosmic space. Only the warrior-servants could leave and accompany Zheng’er and Rong’er.

n

nBut then again, she was not afraid of what people would say. It was not like she would lose anything because someone said something.

n

nQian Jiyun understood. He was not surprised because An Jiuyue had many strange things.

n

n“You can raise the two deer in this residence. That way, Zheng’er and Rong’er won’t feel bored,” he suggested.

n

nAn Jiuyue was planning to raise not only the deer but also a nest of long-haired rabbits and a few pheasants in the courtyard. Her small children could raise small animals.

n

n“I will.” She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. “I didn’t expect Wang Xing’er to really do such a heinous thing. I was too careless.”

n

nShe was the one who rescued Wang Xing’er from the flood. Back then, she did not know this woman was so vicious.

n

nWang Xing’er even thanked her sincerely. Who would have known she deemed An Jiuyue a hateful woman in her heart?

n

nIndeed, one should not judge a book by its cover or judge another by an incident.

n

nAny incident could change someone and change them beyond recognition. The selfishness and viciousness within Wang Xing’er were instantly unveiled during the epidemic.

n

n“It’s not your fault.” Qian Jiyun did not know what to say.

n

nThey were not at fault. No one would have expected someone to boldly drag her unwell body to seek revenge from someone who had never offended her!

n

nHe parted his thin lips. He wanted to say that arranging for the children to live here was not a long-term solution.

n

nHowever, he could not say it out loud.

n

nEven he was a little afraid after what had happened this time, let alone An Jiuyue, who had been with the children all day and night. It was safest to keep the children here.

n

nOf course, An Jiuyue knew keeping the children here was not a long-term solution.

n

nBut she had no choice. Given the raging epidemic, she would not be able to find a house and buy it.

n

nAn Yilu, An Yizhou, and An Yixing were still young and could be raised in the Microcosm for a few years.

n

nMeanwhile, Zheng’er and Rong’er could be allowed to leave the Microcosm every day. She could rest assured as long as Warrior-Servant One and Warrior-Servant Two accompanied them. Their combat abilities were beyond the people of this era.
