Now, they are sixty miles outside the city, in Leyang County, and should arrive home by evening.
Early in the morning, everyone at Duke Ning Mansion began to busy themselves nonstop, preparing a welcome for Seventh Young Master and the Princely Heir returning from afar.
"Lady, please wait patiently at home. I will take their siblings to the city gate to welcome Seventh and Chen’er."
"Okay."
Watching the father and sons leave, Lady Yun changed her clothes and called Xiao Tao to do her hair and makeup. After a simple makeover, she carried the sleeping Yun Wanqing to the front hall.
[Huh, where is this? How did I end up here? Where’s Mom?]
Upon waking, Yun Wanqing found herself in a different place and was confused, feeling a bit uneasy, and instinctively turned her head to look for Lady Yun.
Whether it was because she was reborn as a baby or something else, she felt very insecure in unfamiliar places, relying especially on Lady Yun.
She was immediately picked up, and Lady Yun looked at her with a smile, kissing her face.
"Xiao Si has awakened, huh? Mom is here."
"Yiya~"
[Mom, where is this? How did we get here?]
Knowing that her mother wouldn’t answer, Yun Wanqing couldn’t hold back from asking in her heart, but who would have thought Lady Yun’s next words would perfectly answer her question.
"Does Xiao Si know we’ve changed places? Xiao Si is so smart; you can even tell this."
"Yes, we are indeed in the front hall now. Your Seventh Uncle and elder brother will be back soon. They haven’t met Xiao Si yet, so after they come back, they certainly want to see Xiao Si. That’s why Mom brought you here."
[Oh wow, Mom is really amazing, really amazing. She can always accurately guess what I’m thinking. Could it be that children’s minds are simple and easy to guess?]
[Or after raising three children, Mom has become seasoned and experienced, so she’s completely aware of my thoughts?]
Yun Wanqing stared at Lady Yun, once again amazed by her ability to read minds.
Lady Yun: "..."
[But Mom just said Seventh Uncle and elder brother will be back?]
[No wonder Mom brought me to the front hall. Although Seventh Uncle was raised by Mom, he is an adult now, and boundaries must be respected between aunts and nephews. He shouldn’t be entering Mom’s private quarters.]
Lady Yun: "..."
The little baby seemed really bored; whenever awake, her inner voice would chatter incessantly, sometimes muttering this, sometimes that, and occasionally veering to unrelated topics, even reciting unheard-of medical prescriptions.
Lady Yun didn’t understand the purpose of those prescriptions, but she remembered and copied them all down, keeping them well archived.
These things should be quite important for Xiao Si.
It’s still a long time until Xiao Si can write; if she forgets them later, these notes might help her.
Thus, Yun Wanqing also noticed a strange phenomenon: when she was lost in thought, her mother would be writing on the side.
Seems Mom really enjoys writing!
Suddenly, a commotion sounded from outside, prompting Lady Yun to put down her pen and look out.
"It must be Seventh and Chen’er returning."
’Clatter, clatter...’
Soon, the sound of wooden wheels rolling mixed with footsteps reached her ears as Lady Yun hurried to the door, greeting the group approaching.
Yun Wanye was pushing the wheelchair at the front, with Yun Wanyao by his side, followed by two brothers of similar stature.
"Mom, your child is home!"
"Sister-in-law."
"Good, it’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back~"
Lady Yun nodded randomly, gazing at the handsome and jade-like man in the wheelchair, her eyes involuntarily welling up.
"Mom, Seventh Uncle and elder brother have been on the road all day; they must be hungry. Let’s go inside to eat, and talk later."
Seeing her own mother with reddened eyes, likely about to cry, Yun Wanyao quickly spoke to distract her emotions.
Mom was still recovering from confinement; she couldn’t afford to cry, as it might harm her eyes.
"Yes, yes, let’s talk inside. Look at me, blocking you at the door, how thoughtless."
Lady Yun promptly made way for them, ushering the group inside the hall.
Just after entering, a milk-smooth voice was heard.
[Oh, Seventh Uncle and elder brother are back.]
[Although I, the baby, can’t speak yet, it’s proper to greet you; otherwise, I’d seem rude. Hello, Seventh Uncle, hello elder brother.]
Not only greeting them in her heart, but Yun Wanqing also waved her little arms, regardless of whether they could see them.
Yun Zhan: "???"
Yun Wanchen: "???"
Just born, this infant can talk?
No, she said she couldn’t speak, so what was that voice?
Faced with such oddities, their faces revealed no emotion, remarkably composed.
