She guessed that An Jiuyue must have arranged for her children to live somewhere.
Though none of them knew where the children were, they knew it would definitely be a place they could not find.
She might be too afraid to provoke the furious An Jiuyue, but she had indeed done her wrong. She had to apologize. She took a deep breath and slowly walked towards An Jiuyue.
Before she could say anything, An Jiuyue handed her a cup of tea.
Qian Yiyun was speechless.
This is definitely not the time to drink tea. Is this farewell tea? Will she chase us away after we drink this cup of tea?
If that’s the case, then I won’t drink this cup of tea! I refuse!
However, her hands did not obey her thoughts. She took the teacup and took a small sip.
What a strong medicinal smell!
She almost vomited. Is this tea? Or medicine?
“Qian Jiyun, come and drink too. Yan Nuo, you too.”
An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun after she saw Qian Yiyun drink it. Yan Nuo had also returned after settling Wang Xing’er’s corpse. He had set a large fire, which burned Wang Xing’er to ashes.
After the four of them drank the medicinal tea, An Jiuyue took out a large porcelain bottle and handed it to Yan Nuo.
“Scatter this all over the paths we’ve taken before, especially the one Wang Xing’er took. Don’t miss a single corner,” she instructed.
Yan Nuo obeyed and went to do it happily.
He was relieved she was willing to send him on an errand. It meant she did not treat him as an outsider.
Qian Yiyun heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Yan Nuo leave. She was also thankful her sister-in-law did not treat them as outsiders.
After dinner, An Jiuyue dragged Qian Jiyun out the door after some thought.
Although she had raised Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong, they were still Qian Jiyun’s sons. She could not hide them from him, right?
“Let’s go. I’ll take you to them.”
After walking for a while, An Jiuyue stopped and turned around to speak to Qian Jiyun.
Qian Jiyun stopped in his tracks and looked at An Jiuyue in surprise. He thought she would not let anyone learn her secret. He did not expect her to reveal it to him so easily.
Although he was very happy, he still frowned slightly.
The young lady is too honest. She might suffer in the future. I’m a soldier and can’t protect her all the time.
An Jiuyue did not have the time to listen to him. She brought him into the residence in the Microcosm.
Servant One bowed and greeted them when he saw them enter.
“This is Young Master Qian.”
An Jiuyue looked at Qian Jiyun and introduced him to the servant.
“Greetings, Young Master Qian.” Servant One bowed to Qian Jiyun.
Qian Jiyun was surprised to see a male servant beside An Jiuyue.
“Mother, Uncle Qian.”
Qian Yizheng and Qian Yirong were studying the mechanical bird toy their mother had given them in the courtyard. They turned around when they heard the commotion and ran over immediately when they saw them.
An Jiuyue was interrupted and squatted down to pick up Qian Yirong.
