Not knowing what Shu Yatou was looking for him for, why were they joining the fun?
"My leg hurts," Zhan Tianye gave an extremely normal reason.
Zhan Xiaoli said, "I like Aunt Yun Shu, I miss her!"
Gu Xiaofeng said nothing.
Mother seemed to be called Yun Shu.
Looking at the father and his two sons before him, Old Master Qin found himself unable to refuse.
Fine, he would take them to see Shu Yatou!
If Shu Yatou had something she couldn't let others know, he would just tell her privately, away from them.
"Let's go," Old Master Qin waved his hand, telling them to follow.
He had come alone, but he was leaving with several people following him in a grand procession.
Upon returning to the Qin Estate and appearing before Yun Shu, they startled her.
Looking at Zhan Tianye and his two sons, Yun Shu's mouth twitched fiercely. Why had they come too?
After a single glance at Zhan Tianye, she looked at her two sons.
Her two sons were truly outstanding.
Look at those little faces, how much they would charm girls when they grew up!
She smiled at them, "Come, you two, come here."
Zhan Xiaoli was about to go over when he thought of something and turned to look at Gu Xiaofeng. Why did he feel that Mother also liked Gu Xiaofeng a lot? Just as much as she liked him and Yun Xiaojing?
Gu Xiaofeng ignored Zhan Xiaoli and walked directly over.
He reached Yun Shu.
It was daytime, and they were close, he felt that Mother was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen! And Mother smelled so good.
Zhan Xiaoli also quickly went over. He planned to warn Gu Xiaofeng when they got back.
Zhan Tianye's dark eyes shifted slightly, clearly noticing that the woman had completely ignored him.
Old Master Qin blinked, catching a hint of something, and whispered to Zhan Tianye, "Look, your two sons are more likable than you! If you can gain favor through your sons, and have Shu Yatou transfer even a little of the affection she has for your two sons to you, then it would truly be a miracle! Oh dear, can't dream, absolutely cannot dream, you can't marry Shu Yatou."
However, a sliver of hope still began to form in his heart.
If Shu Yatou really took a liking to his grandson.
He wouldn't mind if his grandson could never stand up again for the rest of his life.
Zhan Tianye's senses were extremely sharp.
He keenly detected something unusual.
His cold eyes narrowed. The things that felt a bit off before now seemed to be gaining some clarity.
"Grandfather, do you have any news of the Divine Physician?" Zhan Tianye's voice held an unusually deep tone.
Old Master Qin felt a bit guilty about this and decisively said, "I don't know any Divine Physician."
"Oh?" Zhan Tianye's eyes deepened.
At this moment, Yun Shu had already divided two small pastries and given them to Zhan Xiaoli and Gu Xiaofeng.
The chefs at Old Master Qin's estate were likely the best pastry chefs in the entire capital.
The few small pastries were exceptionally delicious.
If not for Old Master Qin and Zhan Tianye being present, she would have told the two of them that they were brothers.
However.
She would find another opportunity later.
Gu Xiaofeng looked up at Yun Shu, eating the pastries bite by bite. Mother's pastries were very good. But he was clever and knew he couldn't acknowledge her at this moment, so he hesitated and said, "Aunt Yun Shu."
"Good boy, do you like them?" Yun Shu felt a slight pang in her heart. She really wanted to hear him call her Mother.
And Zhan Xiaoli too.
Having three sons surrounding her and calling her Mother, ah, just thinking about it made her happy.
Gu Xiaofeng nodded vigorously, "I like them!"
They were delicious. He rarely ate pastries before.
Zhan Xiaoli also nodded and said, "I think they're delicious too!"
Yun Shu stroked Zhan Xiaoli's head, "If you like them, you can have two more, but don't eat too many. Too many sweet pastries are bad for your teeth."
"Okay!"
Both little ones obediently agreed.
The mother and sons spent a very happy time together.
This scene, observed by Zhan Tianye, made him recall yesterday in the carriage and just now in the manor. They had seemed to be at odds with each other, yet in front of her, they had completely transformed into a picture of serene tranquility.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe.
Old Master Qin watched for a moment, then suddenly sighed, "They look like mother and sons."
Zhan Tianye raised his eyes to glance at Old Master Qin, saying nothing.
Yun Shu watched the two little ones each eat two pastries and drink a cup of water before she remembered that she had come to see Old Master Qin for a serious matter. She then looked up at Old Master Qin and said, "Old Master Qin, shall we talk in private?"
"Ah? Okay!" Old Master Qin also snapped back to attention.
Then, the two of them walked out of the room first.
The moment Yun Shu and Old Master Qin left the room, a flicker of light hidden in Zhan Tianye's dark eyes fell on Yun Shu's graceful retreating figure.
Meanwhile, Zhan Xiaoli was coldly watching Gu Xiaofeng.
Gu Xiaofeng was also coldly watching Zhan Xiaoli.
The brothers stared at each other.
Neither's aura was inferior to the other's.
When Zhan Tianye retracted his gaze and turned back to them, he discovered the tense standoff between the two little ones.
So, they had been deliberately feigning peace in front of Yun Shu just moments ago.
...
Yun Shu and Old Master Qin went to a nearby garden.
Old Master Qin was very generous; the garden was vast.
Every few steps, a different kind of flower could be seen.
Yun Shu admired the flowers as she spoke, "I have a matter that requires Old Master Qin's help."
"Help? Between you and me, why talk about help? Tell me! What is it? I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!" Old Master Qin became a little displeased upon hearing "help."
Given his relationship with Shu Yatou, there was no need to be polite!
Yun Shu couldn't help but laugh, "It's not a big matter. I recall that the Dekang Inn is also one of your properties, isn't it?"
Old Master Qin was taken aback and seemed a bit troubled, "I have too many properties, and too many inns. I really can't recall if there's a Dekang Inn. But if you say there is, then there is. If not, I'll have someone buy it. It's no trouble! Just consider it mine! Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
After hearing Old Master Qin's words, Yun Shu's mouth twitched. Indeed, the wealthy were so extravagant.
She could hardly imagine how formidable Old Master Qin must have been in his youth.
She reined in her wandering thoughts, "Alright, I want..."
After listening to Yun Shu finish, Old Master Qin nodded repeatedly.
"Good, good, good!"
A moment later.
They returned to where Zhan Tianye and the others were.
Old Master Qin pointed to Zhan Tianye's leg and said to Yun Shu, "In the Prince's Manor, he said his leg hurt. Shu Yatou, do you think the detoxification can't be delayed any longer?"
Otherwise, why would his leg, which had been numb, suddenly start hurting?
Zhan Tianye sighed inwardly upon hearing Old Master Qin's words.
Was he really his own maternal grandfather?
Yun Shu responded with a curious "Oh," and approached Zhan Tianye.
"Let me take a look."
The moment the woman drew near, the unique fragrance from her filled his nostrils. Zhan Tianye felt as if a feather had brushed across his heart.
