As the words fell, a voice echoed in Yun Changfeng’s mind.
Did he think he hadn't noticed?
They were all men.
Though he was old now, he had been young once and knew that men of this age were full of vigor. His daughter was incredibly beautiful, so of course, the other man had entertained improper thoughts.
He had previously treated his daughter with indifference.
Now, he wanted the Night King to suffer the consequences, unable to reach her.
He would absolutely not allow the Night King any opportunity to get close to Shu'er.
He had secretly screened every man in the capital. The only young man who could be worthy of Shu'er, who could truly treat her well, and make promises to her was Young Master Yi.
However…
Regardless, the Night King before him had no chance. He had already caused two women outside to have two sons, and that was only what was known. Who knew how many women he had entangled in secret?
Seeing Yun Changfeng watching him with the wariness of a thief, Zhan Tianye’s gaze shifted. He withdrew his eyes. “Thank you for your trouble.”
Yun Shu watched as Yun Changfeng stepped forward to escort Zhan Tianye out. A smile curved her red lips. Excellent!
Only after their figures had disappeared from view.
Yun Shu said to her three sons with a smile, “Come, shall we go to Mama’s room?”
The three little ones all nodded.
As Yun Shu led her three sons towards her courtyard.
Zhan Tianye suddenly turned back, his dark eyes as sharp as an eagle’s, sweeping unerringly towards Yun Shu.
The woman's figure was graceful.
Her waist was slender.
Although she was indifferent when facing him, she was extremely gentle towards the three children.
Suddenly, he remembered her treating Zhan Tianhong and taking his pulse, so decisive and confident. It was as if this woman had a hundred faces.
Which one, in the end, was the real her?
Sensing Zhan Tianye’s gaze, Yun Changfeng felt it was necessary to state his position. “Your Highness the Night King, please do not overthink things. Shu'er has always liked children, and Xiao Jing also likes making friends with young lords. Shu'er would never want to approach Your Highness through Young Master Xiao Jing. Please rest assured, with me here, Shu'er will absolutely not have those improper thoughts towards Your Highness as she did five years ago.”
Upon hearing this.
Zhan Tianye’s sword-like eyebrows rose.
He looked up at Yun Changfeng.
Instantly, his aura became somewhat fierce.
However, in the next moment, Zhan Tianye retracted the aura he had accidentally released and said with a slightly lowered voice, “This King has forgotten what happened years ago.”
Yun Changfeng was stunned. What did he mean?
Forgot?
“In the future… General Yun will understand everything,” Zhan Tianye withdrew his gaze.
Once Yun Shu told General Yun that Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng were their sons, everything would become clear.
Yun Changfeng was even more confused. What did he mean?
“General Yun, please go back and play with them. This King can leave on his own,” Zhan Tianye added.
Yun Changfeng hadn't intended to escort Zhan Tianye in the first place. Seeing him off at the manor gate and then returning would be a waste of time. Although he was confused at the moment, he still nodded, “Alright.”
Then, he immediately turned back to find Yun Shu and Xiao Jing.
As Qiu Lu pushed Zhan Tianye towards the manor gate, he couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, “Your Highness, it seems Miss Yun Er hasn’t told General Yun that Young Lord Xiao and Young Master Xiao are her sons.”
“Given General Yun’s way of doing things, it is better not to know the current situation,” Zhan Tianye said in a deep voice.
Qiu Lu initially couldn’t understand, but he quickly realized.
If General Yun knew the identities of Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng, he might…
“Does Your Highness need to make preparations in advance? Given General Yun’s temperament, if he knows the identities of Young Lord Xiao and the others, he might use various methods to force Your Highness to marry Miss Yun Er,” Qiu Lu suggested hastily without thinking.
However, after saying it, he felt that the words were not quite right.
Because…
Zhan Tianye’s icy eyes were deep, as if holding myriad stars within them, making it impossible for anyone to fathom.
But it gave Qiu Lu a feeling.
At some unknown time, His Highness’s attitude towards Miss Yun Er had undergone a seismic shift!
Calming down, he lowered his voice and asked, “Does Your Highness intend to marry Miss Yun Er?”
Zhan Tianye’s gaze was indifferent.
Qiu Lu quickly shut his mouth tightly.
Only after they left the general’s manor and got into the carriage.
Did Zhan Tianye say in a deep voice, “Before, I investigated Yun Xiao Jing, and still, there is nothing?”
“Your Highness, there is still nothing,” Qiu Lu replied.
It was rare for such a situation to occur. Yun Xiao Jing was just a child, it was impossible for him to leave no trace.
Yet, like Miss Yun Er, there was almost no trace of them for the past five years.
Zhan Tianye raised his eyebrows slightly. “Perhaps… Xiao Jing is this King’s son.”
This guess had been lingering in his heart for a long time.
It wasn’t until just now when Yun Xiao Jing called Yun Shu “Mama” that, although he had previously explained why he called her Mama, but…
Yun Xiao Jing and Yun Shu gave off the same feeling as Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng did when facing Yun Shu.
“What?!” Qiu Lu was extremely shocked.
Yun Xiao Jing was also His Highness’s son?
“So, did Miss Yun Er give birth to them all?”
“Ten to one,” Zhan Tianye replied to Qiu Lu, his long, jade-like fingers lightly rubbing the white jade thumb ring on his thumb.
He made a decision in his heart.
In the coming days, when the time was right, he would have a showdown with Yun Shu.
He wanted the sons.
The woman…
His dark eyes were as deep as ink.
But they could not hide his resolute expression.
…
Yun Shu brought her three sons to her room.
Upon arriving at the room.
Yun Xiao Jing said to Yun Shu, as if seeking merit, “Mama, I’ve already told Xiao Feng that he’s my second brother! And, I also told Xiao Feng that Mama went through a lot of hardship back then! In Mama’s heart, all three of us are extremely, extremely important!”
Gu Xiao Feng’s large eyes were slightly red, and he softly called out, “Mama.”
“Mama!” Zhan Xiao Li quickly called out, finally able to call her Mama!
Seeing the three little ones, Yun Shu’s heart was also filled with warmth. The four of them, mother and sons, were finally reunited.
“You are all Mama’s good children!” Yun Shu said gently.
Then Yun Shu looked at Zhan Xiao Li and Gu Xiao Feng. “Xiao Li, Xiao Feng, come here. Mama has a small gift for you.”
“It’s a small bracelet. Inside the bracelet are hidden weapons that can protect you at crucial moments. Come, Mama will teach you how to use them.” Yun Shu’s voice was soft as she explained the use of the bracelet’s hidden weapons.
Yun Xiao Jing also raised his wrist. “I have one too! All three of us have them now!”
From outside the door came Yun Changfeng’s hearty voice, “Xiao Jing? Where are you all?”
Hearing Yun Changfeng’s voice, Yun Shu felt a little helpless. She really wanted to talk more with Xiao Li and Xiao Feng, but they were staying at the general’s manor tonight, and they would have plenty of time. So she said to them, “Let’s go, we’ll go out now.”
Before going out, Zhan Xiao Li whispered to Gu Xiao Feng, “Grandfather doesn’t know that the two of us are Mama’s sons. We can’t tell him yet.”
“Can’t tell what?” Yun Changfeng suddenly pushed open the door.
