"Are you arguing again?" Yun Xiaojing asked.
Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng had never seen such a scene before. They exchanged confused glances.
Zhan Xiaofeng said, "Are you going to fight?"
In fact, they didn't mind arguing in front of Yun Xiaojing, because he had seen it so many times. They used to pretend well in front of him, but later found out that Xiaojing was very cunning and had long seen through their superficial harmony.
But Xiaoli and Xiaofeng were different.
They had never seen this before.
They couldn't leave scars on their young hearts. If they thought that people only communicated through sarcasm and arguments, wouldn't that make Yun Shu resent them?
So, they were now smiling more innocently than ever.
Like kind and amiable uncles and aunts seen outside.
"Uncle Ruan, Aunt Yi Qing, your smiles are like those of the human traffickers I've met. That's how they smile." Yun Xiaojing couldn't help but expose them.
Seeing them smile like this gave him nightmares.
Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng strongly agreed.
The description was extremely accurate!
They really looked like human traffickers!
Qin Yi Qing immediately glared fiercely at Ruan Xi, "It's all your fault!" You ruined my image in front of them.
Ruan Xi rolled his eyes speechlessly, "What does it have to do with me? You're just showing your true colors."
"You! Your grandma is not done with you today!" Qin Yi Qing, angered, drew her sword and slashed at Ruan Xi.
Ruan Xi, skilled from practice, dodged quickly, "You shrew!"
The flashing blades and sword light left Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng dumbfounded.
Yun Xiaojing was unfazed, "Don't worry, they just have itchy hands and want to fight."
The two little ones looked at their mother again.
Yun Shu smiled gently at them, "Xiaojing is right."
The two little ones nodded. In fact, they were not scared at all, because even though their smiles were fake earlier, they were good people.
Xiaojing had told them.
They were very good to Xiaojing.
Yun Shu looked at Ji Rong and asked, "Will you come to the capital again?"
Once they left, they might not return to the capital for a very long time.
Ji Rong glanced at Qin Yi Qing, who was fighting fiercely with Ruan Xi, and smiled, "As long as you are still in the capital, we will visit you again after we have traveled the world."
Yun Shu nodded gently, looking at the people before her, she felt a sense of having passed through different eras. The past few years flashed through her mind like a movie.
"Ji Rong, only by letting go of some things can you truly redeem yourself." Yun Shu looked at the dark circles under Ji Rong's eyes, knowing that Ji Rong, who had lost his divination abilities, could not truly let go deep down.
If he were to leave the capital and his situation were known to everyone in the world and the Ji family,
Then, it would be another inevitable upheaval.
Ji Rong was slightly stunned, then smiled as if he had a sudden realization, "Everything is destined by fate. I understand. Don't worry."
"Yi Qing appears carefree, but in reality, she has thought of everything we can think of," Yun Shu said softly.
Ji Rong's lips tightened slightly.
Yun Shu said no more.
There are no eternal banquets.
The capital was never a place for them to live long-term.
However, there was some reluctance in their hearts.
They would leave at dawn tomorrow. Ruan Xi, because he was fighting fiercely with Qin Yi Qing and they had exchanged harsh words, originally planned to leave with them tomorrow. But after the fight, Ruan Xi decided to leave in a couple of days.
Jing Heng said Ruan Xi was childish.
Ruan Xi said Jing Heng was cold-blooded and heartless.
Yun Xiaojing, gnawing on a watermelon, said to Zhan Xiaoli and Zhan Xiaofeng, "They are arguing now, but they'll be fine in a while! Don't worry."
"We're not worried," Zhan Xiaofeng said.
Zhan Xiaoli nodded with a cold expression.
Seeing that his two older brothers were as brave as him, Yun Xiaojing was immediately gratified. His luck in his previous life must have been very good, otherwise, how could he have brothers as smart and brave as him in this life!
...
After being driven out of the Night King's mansion, Jiang Luoxi went to a place first. She came out two hours later and returned to the palace.
She arrived before the Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager never expected such a result.
"Didn't you say you would have good news soon? Would the Night King marry you soon? How is it that you've been kicked out of the mansion by the Night King?" The Empress Dowager was furious.
Jiang Luoxi, already looking pale from the snakebite, could only furrow her brows and say, "Things happened suddenly. If it weren't for those three children causing trouble, the Night King would never have driven me out of his mansion."
"Three children? Those three children born to the Night King and Yun Shu are indeed detestable! Because of them, the Geng family's children don't want to be seen in public." When the Empress Dowager mentioned Zhan Xiaoli and the others, her eyes were full of displeasure.
Jiang Luoxi lowered her head, "If those three hadn't come out to cause trouble, there would still be a chance for a turnaround."
Those three children might be more troublesome than Yun Shu.
She had not wanted to deal with those three children before, but now it seemed it was time to take care of them.
Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, "Alright, you stay in the palace for now. I will send word to the Regent."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Jiang Luoxi replied.
Jiang Luoxi lowered her head, concealing the cold glint of disdain in her eyes.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager and the Regent being somewhat useful, she would have handled this matter herself.
At this moment.
In the imperial study, a palace servant informed Zhan Tianhong about Jiang Luoxi being driven out and the message sent by the Night King's men.
Zhan Tianhong was reviewing memorials.
He looked up upon hearing the news, his eyes revealing an unfathomable light.
The palace servant, feeling fearful, continued, "I just saw Miss Jiang return to the palace and was kept by the Empress Dowager."
Hearing that Jiang Luoxi was staying in the palace, Zhan Tianhong's expression became even more unfathomable, "Fifth Brother seems displeased with my arrangements."
Upon hearing this, the palace servant's knees weakened, "It seems, it seems that Miss Jiang hasn't done much at the Night King's mansion these past few days, and the Night King doesn't need her care, which is why he sent her back to the palace."
Zhan Tianhong glanced at the palace servant.
The palace servant's heart trembled.
The next moment, Zhan Tianhong gave an order, "You may go."
"Yes, Your Majesty, this servant takes his leave."
Seeing that Zhan Tianhong said nothing more, the palace servant breathed a sigh of relief.
However, as the door of the imperial study opened and closed, Zhan Tianhong's eyes became even deeper and more inscrutable.
...
Qin Residence.
Old Master Qin went back to his room to sleep after dinner.
However, he lay in bed for a long time, tossing and turning, but still couldn't sleep.
Instead, he was bizarrely unable to sleep no matter how he tried.
He couldn't lie still.
He pushed open the door and walked out of his room.
The guards patrolling outside widened their eyes when they saw Old Master Qin not sleeping but taking a walk.
In the last three to two years, the old master had almost gone straight to sleep upon returning to his room and never came out.
Old Master Qin ignored the guards and went for a walk.
After the walk, he returned to bed, but still couldn't sleep.
This repeated.
He tossed and turned all night.
Still no sleep.
At the same time, not far from the Qin Residence.
