Yun Shu's eyes also deepened, "Indeed, it's not simple."
"Be careful with everything. The situation in the capital has changed, and the Emperor..." Yun Changfeng frowned as he mentioned Zhan Tianhong.
The Emperor's growth was a good thing.
However, he always had a premonition.
This premonition was somewhat inexplicable, so he didn't tell Shu'er.
"We can talk about these matters slowly later, there's no rush. Go, take the three little ones to eat roast duck," Yun Changfeng put aside some unbelievable thoughts and said with a smile.
Yun Shu didn't elaborate either. The situation in the capital would indeed change with Zhan Tianyu's arrival.
Thinking more and being more cautious was not a bad thing.
Half an hour later.
Yun Shu brought the three little ones to a roast duck restaurant.
The restaurant didn't just serve roast duck; it also offered other specialty dishes, famous in the capital.
Many people came by reputation.
There were a total of three floors.
When Yun Shu arrived, she took them to the second floor.
They were a step too late; the private rooms on the third floor were already gone.
However, sitting on the second floor was also good. From the second floor, one could see some of the bustling capital scenery, with people coming and going and traffic flowing like water.
"I can already smell the delicious roast duck!" The foodie Yun Xiao Jing took a deep sniff. It smelled so good!
He was almost drooling from the aroma.
Yun Shu looked at the little glutton Yun Xiao Jing, "It does smell very fragrant."
"Mother, there's something I forgot to tell you." Zhan Xiao Feng picked up a piece of mung bean cake and ate it, which reminded him of something.
"What is it?" Yun Shu asked softly.
Zhan Xiao Feng frowned, "The day before yesterday, when we went back to Father's place, I went to the outhouse alone and met Jiang Luo Xi. She said she made mung bean cake and asked if I wanted to eat it."
"She has malicious intentions. You shouldn't talk to her," Zhan Xiao Li said coldly.
"Mm! I ignored her, but she asked me if I missed my godmother." Zhan Xiao Feng knew very well that Jiang Luo Xi was a bad person, and one who wanted to break up Father and Mother. But why would she mention his godmother?
Yun Shu's gaze sharpened sharply at this, "She asked about Yun Yue Yin?"
Since the fire at the Yun Mansion, Yun Yue Yin had escaped using a maid and had been missing ever since. Zhan Tian Ye's spies had been investigating in secret.
Perhaps Yun Yue Yin had become smarter and had not revealed her whereabouts.
Not only were they looking for Yun Yue Yin, but Zhan Ming's people were also secretly searching. It was likely that Zhan Ming had some secrets that Yun Yue Yin knew, and to prevent these secrets from being leaked, Zhan Ming was probably more anxious to find her than they were.
But Jiang Luo Xi suddenly mentioning Yun Yue Yin in front of Xiao Feng must mean something.
Just then, the waiter brought the roast duck, and its fragrant aroma wafted over.
Yun Shu said gently, "Alright, Mother knows about this. Xiao Feng did very well!"
"If that bad woman looks for you again, use the poison powder you have to poison her to death! Why didn't she come looking for me? My little friends haven't bullied bad people together for a long time." Yun Xiao Jing drooled over the roast duck while advising Xiao Feng on how to deal with bad women next time.
Suddenly, a snake's head emerged from Yun Xiao Jing's sleeve.
Fortunately, no one noticed.
But Zhan Xiao Feng and Zhan Xiao Li saw it.
They were startled by the sudden appearance.
"You!"
They had known for a long time that Yun Xiao Jing always had some small animals on him, but seeing a small snake unexpectedly, they couldn't help but be startled.
"Make your little friends behave, or Mother will stew them all," Yun Shu whispered to Yun Xiao Jing.
Yun Xiao Jing blinked his big starry eyes, "Mother, I am the most obedient baby. I promise they will behave!"
Yun Shu's mouth twitched. She knew Yun Xiao Jing too well. At just a few years old, he was already glib-tongued and full of mischief.
The mother and four children quietly ate the roast duck.
Amidst the aroma of roast duck,
they suddenly heard people nearby discussing Gu Zhi Ruo.
Hearing Gu Zhi Ruo's name, Yun Shu suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Gu Zhi Ruo for a while.
"Did you hear? Miss Gu's family and Young Master Qu are said to be engaged tomorrow."
"What? Are you talking about the two people we know? Didn't the Gu family break off the engagement because Young Master Qu had an outside mistress, and the mistress caused trouble at the Gu family?"
"Yes, it's them. In this world, there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome. Surely both families feel that an outside mistress is nothing and not worth paying too much attention to, so they've reconciled!"
"Hush! Keep your voices down, there are too many people here! I'll tell you, I even saw him at a pleasure house a couple of days ago! He was embracing two courtesans, enjoying himself. I don't know if Miss Gu knows."
"What's that? What man isn't a bit of a rogue! Moreover, the Qu family is a noble family, and they naturally can't be devoted to just one woman. If Miss Gu is smart, if she marries into the family and turns a blind eye, she'll have wealth and status for the rest of her life."
"What you said makes some sense."
"..."
In fact, their voices were very low, but they happened to mention Gu Zhi Ruo, which is why she noticed.
Gu Zhi Ruo was going to remarry Qu Shu Jie?
Lord Gu and Madam Gu had always doted on Gu Zhi Ruo. They would rather have no future connection with the Qu family than let Gu Zhi Ruo suffer any grievances.
How could they easily agree to this marriage again?
Unfortunately, the group treated it as gossip and soon moved on to other topics.
Yun Shu pondered for a moment and decided to go to the Gu mansion to see after she sent the three little ones back to the General's Mansion.
A moment later.
The mother and four children left the roast duck restaurant and got into the carriage back to the General's Mansion.
As the carriage left the restaurant, a seven or eight-year-old boy appeared from the side.
The boy stared at the departing carriage and asked his attendant expressionlessly, "Are those the three sons of the King of Night?"
"Yes, Young Master," the attendant replied respectfully.
The boy sneered, "Are those three still drinking from a wet nurse?"
The attendant was stunned, "This... this, this servant doesn't know. They're already four or five years old, they shouldn't be, should they?"
"My father said those three are very smart, much smarter than I was at five. I don't believe it. At five, I could hunt in the mountains and compose poetry. What can they do? Can they come to a roast duck restaurant to eat roast duck?" the boy retorted angrily.
The attendant wiped the sweat from his brow and flattered, "The Young Master is right. They only know how to eat and eat. How can they compare to the Young Master?"
"You're right. When Father sees the three of them, he won't say they're smarter than me anymore," the boy said proudly.
The attendant dared not speak rashly, only nodding his head repeatedly.
