Su Yijing, Su Yixing, and An Yiqing immediately stopped crying and burst into giggles after they also got rubbed.
Seeing his brothers had also been rubbed by their father, Xiao Changyi, An Yiyun also stopped his tears and no longer cried.
At this moment, all four little ones’ eyes were red from crying, still brimming with tears, but their faces were graced with broad smiles, as if to say, ’We all got a rub from dad, daddy is so nice.’
Xiao Changyi was quite angry originally, but seeing the meaning expressed by the smiles on the four little ones’ faces, his anger dissipated instantly, and his heart softened immediately.
They didn’t mean to make him angry; they merely wanted his affection.
Witnessing the little ones , An Jing felt both heartache and amusement.
After setting An Yiyun down on the ground, letting him stand with Su Yijing and the others, An Jing playfully tapped each of her four children’s noses with her finger and teased, "Four little crybabies."
The four little ones just giggled straight at An Jing, looking exceptionally happy.
While laughing, An Yiqing even boasted in a babyish voice, "Mom, I’m telling you, daddy rubbed me."
"Yes, yes, yes," An Jing immediately laughed in agreement, "Your dad rubbed you, and also rubbed your older and second brother, and even your youngest brother. Your dad is equally nice to all of you."
"Mmm~" An Yiqing nodded happily, as if it was exactly as An Jing had said.
An Jing found it even funnier, looking over at the other three children, who upon seeing her look their way, also happily nodded their little heads.
Unintentionally, An Jing looked towards her husband, seeing him just standing there watching her and the four children, the tenderness in her eyes instantly intensified.
Again, she sent the four little ones off to play, and this time they were willing to go. But before they went, they each walked over to Xiao Changyi and happily hugged his legs, then they all went off to play together.
An Jing watched the four little ones playing aside and then brought her gaze back, landing on Meng Zhuqing and asked with concern, "Have you fully recovered physically?
"Yes, I have fully recovered," Meng Zhuqing paused, then added, "Gong Juechen said because I had a strong physical foundation in the past, that’s why I could recover so quickly."
"That’s good," An Jing nodded. "There are many small courtyards in the mansion, find one to live in as you please, your grandfather and I don’t know which one would be best for you."
"Yes," Meng Zhuqing immediately responded respectfully.
"Alright, you can go about your business. We will call you if we need anything."
"Yes, I take my leave," Meng Zhuqing obediently walked away.
As soon as Meng Zhuqing left from An Jing and Xiao Changyi’s main courtyard, he went to the small courtyard he had taken a liking to.
He had visited Prince Yi’s Mansion many times and was very familiar with the layout. However, when he was about to settle into his chosen courtyard, he was informed by a mansion’s servant that the courtyard next door was occupied by Tobanya.
Meng Zhuqing did not want Tobanya as a neighbor, and immediately moved into another courtyard that was the farthest from Tobanya’s.
When An Jing heard that Meng Zhuqing was living in the furthest west of Prince Yi’s Mansion and Tobanya in the furthest east, she immediately sensed something was amiss.
"Husband, why do I feel like there’s something going on here?" An Jing frowned, looking towards her husband.
Xiao Changyi remained silent.
An Jing pondered for a while, then continued, "There really is something, and it seems to be no small matter. I need to call Meng Zhuqing and ask."
