“This is Niaoniao’s. Please bring it back to her. Please take good care of her in the future. If she’s not doing well in Eastern Tang, she can come back to Dayan to look for me at any time.”
Xiao Juan rode forward and reached out to take the silver earring.
He did not know that Shen Zhuo still had something that belonged to Niaoniao.
That made him feel even more jealous.
“Niaoniao is my wife. I treat her like a treasure. There’s no need for outsiders to say anything. I’ll also take good care of her for the rest of my life.” He deliberately emphasized the last four words.
Shen Zhuo felt lonely. He had once had a chance to marry Niaoniao, but unfortunately, he did not seize it well. Now that she was someone else’s wife, it was useless for him to regret it.
Seeing that he could no longer say anything, Xiao Juan pulled the horse to change direction and led the Eastern Expedition Army away.
Shen Zhuo lowered the curtain and a calm voice came from the carriage.
“Let’s go.”
As the carriage moved along the road, the Eastern Tang behind it seemed to get further and further away.
Compared to when they came, Xiao Juan and the Eastern Expedition Army were much more relaxed when they returned.
They retraced their steps back to Xingning City.
It had been a long time since he last saw her. Xiao Juan was anxious to return.
He went straight to the Duke’s Mansion, but when he entered, he didn’t see Niaoniao. After asking, he found out that his wife and daughter had been kidnapped to the palace.
So he rushed to the palace without even changing.
When Yu Niaoniao found out that Xiao Juan had returned, she immediately pushed the draft aside and ran out with her daughter.
“Ah Juan! ”
Xiao Juan strode over and scooped his wife and daughter into his arms, hugging them tightly.
“I’m back.”
Little Fubao had not seen her father for many days. When she suddenly saw him today, she did not know why, but her mouth opened and he called out vaguely.
“Aiya, Father…’
At more than a year old, she had long learned to call her mother, but she had not yet known how to call her father. Xiao Juan told himself not to take it to heart. After all, Fubao was still young and would learn to call him father sooner or later. With that being said, he was still a little disappointed
Unexpectedly, he suddenly heard little Fubao call them father today. Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao were stunned.
Xiao Juan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, “Fubao, what did you call me just now?”
Little Fubao seemed a little shy.
She arched in Yu Niaoniao’s arms before shouting again.
“Father.”
The pronunciation was not standard. It sounded childish. The corners of Xiao Juan’s mouth curled up involuntarily.
The haze brought by Shen Zhuo was swept away.
He was overjoyed now. He picked up his daughter and stood up.
“Good baby, call me that again.”
Little Fubao called him father again.
Xiao Juan felt comfortable all over and was about to fly.
He held Niaoniao’s hand with one hand, and a rare smile on his face.
“Let’s go home!”
Yu Niaoniao smiled and nodded. “Okay.”
Xiao Juan said as he walked, “I bought a lot of things on the way back. I brought them for you and Fubao.”
Yu Niaoniao was filled with anticipation. ‘What did you buy? Is there anything delicious
Xiao Juan said, “Of course. You must like it.” Yu Niaoniao’s eyes lit up. “Wow!”
Tang Guixi’s shout came from behind.
“Niaoniao, don’t go. You haven’t finished what you’re supposed to do today!”
Hearing this, not only did Yu Niaoniao not stop, but she also pulled Xiao Juan away even faster.
“Go, go.”
Xiao Juan could not help but be curious. “What’s wrong?
Yu Niaoniao told him about being captured by Tang Guixi these few days.
“I’ve already helped her revise most of the draft, but she’s still not satisfied. She even wants me to help her account for the taxes for the first half of the year. Do you know how many ledgers there are to record the taxes? They fill a house!”
As she gestured with both hands as she spoke, her expression was extremely exaggerated.
“Even if I have a photographic memory, you can’t squeeze me dry like this, right? I’ve decided that we’ll leave Xingning tomorrow morning!”
Xiao Juan smiled and asked, ‘Where do you want to go?”
Yu Niaoniao waved her hand. “I want to go out and have fun. Our family of three will go wherever we want to go!”
“Okay.”
Although Little Fubao did not understand what the adults were talking about, she could feel that her parents were in a good mood, so she waved her small claws and shouted.
“Yiya, okay”
Therefore, early the next morning, Xiao Juan left Xingning City with his wife and daughter.
They welcomed the bright morning light and began the long-awaited trip. By the time Tang Guixi found out about this, the family of three had already fled..
