Wen Shu's legs went weak with fright, and she sat down by the door.
"Last night, when Miss fell asleep, the red bumps on her face had clearly subsided a lot. How could it be that upon waking, Miss's face would become like this?! This!"
It was too terrifying!
Where there were red bumps yesterday, all that remained were small, black pits.
A face that was once smooth and tender had become pitted and uneven.
It was a shocking sight!
It felt even more dreadful than the swelling from being stung by a poisonous bee.
Yun Yueyin could not bear such a blow. Her hands trembled as she touched her face, gently cupping the small black pits. A wave of pain shot through her. "It's not a dream, not a nightmare! My face, how could my face become like this?!"
"Miss, what should we do now? The Regent wants to see you, and there's no time to find a doctor to treat you." Wen Shu couldn't help but panic.
Yun Yueyin's face was deathly pale as she carefully examined her reflection in the bronze mirror, her mind in turmoil.
She, who always considered herself calm, could not remain so at this moment.
But she forced herself to calm down and took a deep breath. "Bring me my bamboo hat!"
She had to go see the Regent. If she didn't go, how could she save her father?
"Yes, this servant will go immediately!"
...
Acha stood by the door holding warm water, having waited for a long time, yet Miss had not come out.
A figure flipped down from the rooftop.
Before, Acha would have been startled, but now she was used to it.
"Master won't wake up so quickly, there's no need to wait here," Jing Heng said coldly.
Acha nodded. "Alright, I understand."
She turned to leave with the warm water.
Suddenly, Yun Shu's voice came from the room, "Come in."
Acha immediately pushed open the door and walked in.
Yun Shu had just woken up. She had wanted to sleep a little longer, but for some reason, she felt very awake. She got up and washed her face.
The water was warm, not hot and not cold, just the right temperature.
"Acha, you are truly thoughtful," Yun Shu couldn't help but praise.
Acha blushed a little at the compliment and smiled, "Yu Le taught this servant."
Having been in prison for a long time, she didn't know how to do many things. It was Yu Le who patiently taught her.
Moreover, the people in the General's Mansion did not look down on her.
Seeing the terrifying scars on her face, no one showed any fear.
She liked the General's Mansion very much.
Just then, Yun Xiao Jing ran in.
Seeing Yun Shu washing her face, he immediately rushed forward and hugged her. "Mother!"
"Why are you suddenly being so clingy?" Yun Shu looked at Yun Xiao Jing, who was hugging her leg, and saw through him.
Sudden affection always meant something was up.
"Mother, I had that dream again! The brother in the dream, whose face I couldn't see, seemed to be in trouble. He was very scared, and I could feel his fear. This is definitely a nightmare, right, Mother?"
Yun Xiao Jing's small brows were furrowed tightly. The usually fearless little one was afraid because of a dream.
Yun Shu's beautiful eyes flickered.
She had also had a similar dream just now.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
Was Gu Xiao Feng really the son who was thought to be stillborn?
"Don't be afraid, Mother is here," Yun Shu gently soothed Yun Xiao Jing.
Yun Xiao Jing's emotions came and went quickly.
He rubbed his little belly. "I'm hungry, Mother!"
"Miss, I'll go to the kitchen. The kitchen must have already prepared breakfast by now," Acha curtsied and retreated.
Yun Shu had Yun Xiao Jing sit down. "Did you see Zhan Xiao Li in your dream?"
"Yes, Brother is always in my dreams," Yun Xiao Jing nodded immediately.
Yun Shu's brows furrowed. She would ask Zhan Xiao Li if he had similar dreams when she saw him.
Just then, another person rushed in.
Bearing the dust of travel.
Yun Shu glanced sideways and saw Yun Chang Feng.
After entering the room, Yun Chang Feng only glanced at her before stepping forward and embracing Yun Xiao Jing.
"Oh my! My dear grandson! You truly are my grandson!" Yun Chang Feng picked up Yun Xiao Jing and began to examine him affectionately from all sides.
He particularly looked at Yun Xiao Jing's face. "He really looks a lot like your mother did when she was little. How did your maternal grandfather not realize it before?"
The more he looked, the more he saw the resemblance!
However, he also felt that Yun Xiao Jing looked very much like someone else, but he couldn't recall who it was no matter how hard he tried.
Never mind, it was probably like that scoundrel!
He had thought carefully over the past two days. That scoundrel must be in the capital. Otherwise, seeing Yun Xiao Jing's face now wouldn't evoke such a sense of familiarity.
Yun Xiao Jing blinked his big eyes and quickly looked at Yun Shu, wanting to exchange signals.
"No need to look at your mother, your mother has already told your maternal grandfather the secret," Yun Chang Feng said with a smile.
Oh, no wonder he had felt a sense of familiarity when he saw Yun Xiao Jing before, and didn't want anyone to bully him. It turned out he was truly his grandson, his own grandson!
Yun Xiao Jing felt the happiness come too suddenly. "Maternal Grandfather!"
He could finally call him Maternal Grandfather openly!
"Good boy! Your maternal grandfather has had many matters to attend to in the military camp these past two days, so I didn't have time to prepare a gift for you. However, your maternal grandfather can grant you one wish." Yun Chang Feng smiled happily.
He was worthy of being his grandson!
Not only was he good-looking, but he was also very brave.
Seeing the old man and the child getting along so happily, Yun Shu suddenly felt a sense of contentment.
Later, when she brought Zhan Xiao Li back to her side, their family would be together, and it would be even more blissful.
If the child abandoned by Yun Yueyin back then was Gu Xiao Feng, then she would find a way to reunite their family.
How she wished Gu Xiao Feng was the child abandoned by Yun Yueyin back then!
Once it was confirmed, she would take her three sons to wander the martial world!
"Come, Maternal Grandfather will take you to the warehouse. There are many good things hidden in the warehouse, see what you like?" Yun Chang Feng was eager to give a见面礼 (meeting gift).
Joke, Yun Xiao Jing was his grandson!
He would give his grandson his best possessions!
Yun Xiao Jing's eyes lit up. "Will Maternal Grandfather give me whatever I like?"
Hahahaha, Maternal Grandfather really knew how to dote on people!
Catering to his preferences!
He liked treasures the most.
Then the old man and the young boy walked out.
Yun Shu looked at Yun Chang Feng's retreating back. Just as she was about to ask about Yun De Zhi on the way back, Yun Chang Feng, in his joy at suddenly having a grandson, didn't give her a chance to ask.
Never mind, under Yun Chang Feng's watchful eye, Yun De Zhi would be strictly guarded, and nothing would go wrong.
Tonight, she would go to the Regent's mansion again to investigate.
...
The Regent's Mansion.
Yun Yueyin appeared at the Regent's Mansion.
As she approached the study door, Gu Xiao Feng ran out from somewhere and rushed towards Yun Yueyin.
"Godmother, can I go with you? I don't want to stay here anymore." Gu Xiao Feng made a request.
Seeing Gu Xiao Feng, Yun Yueyin frowned and avoided him.
