Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Wan was angry and amused.
The children really looked different every day. Not only were their stomachs round, but their thoughts were also especially active. When they first met, they were still three honest and pitiful children. How could they be so scheming now?
Of course, this was also a good thing. Every parent hoped that their children would grow up. It would be even better if they could talk.
Yu Wan looked at them gently.
The three little fatties only knew that Yu Wan was looking at them, but they did not know what Yu Wan was thinking in her heart. They were jumping around in high spirits.
Yu Wan was amused by their chubby looks.
The eunuch who led the way also smiled. He had taken on this job purely to curry favor. Unexpectedly, the three little masters were really cute. His heart was about to melt. It was difficult to have children in the royal family. Young Madam was really blessed to have given birth to three sons in one go.
“We’ll reach after taking another twenty steps around the corner,” said the eunuch leading the way with a smile.
When the three little fellows heard that they were almost there, they rushed forward. When they turned the corner, they bumped into someone and sat on the ground.
The three of them rubbed their heads in confusion.
“Aiyo!” The eunuch who led the way ran over and helped the three little masters up.
The little fellows had been raised in the village for twenty days and had thicker skin than Little Bruiser. Yu Wan knew that the three of them were not hurt, so she maintained her dignified and steady steps as she walked over. She saw a young man in a white robe with blue edges standing at the corner. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, had delicate features, and a tall and thin figure. He squatted down and looked at the three little fellows amiably. “Did I hurt you?”
The three fat children tilted their heads and looked at him.
From his clothes, he looked like an envoy Yu Wan had seen before. He cupped his hands and bowed to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan sized him up seriously and said in enlightenment, “I remember now. You’re the disciple of the State Preceptor who got drunk that day in Prince Cheng Manor.”
The young man looked up in shock and met Yu Wan’s gaze. This person’s facial features seemed ordinary, but he had a pair of good eyes. His black pupils were like black pearls in a stream, and also like the most dazzling stars in the night sky.
“You are…” The youth asked in a daze.
The eunuch berated, “How dare you! This is Mrs. Yan! Hurry up and greet her!”
The shock in the young man’s eyes faded. “It’s you?”
This time, it was the eunuch’s turn to be dumbfounded. This form of address… Could it be that Young Madam knew him?
Yu Wan smiled and nodded. “It’s me.” She seemed to understand what he was asking.
The young man bowed piously. “My name is Wan Feng. Thank you for saving me, Young Madam.”
Yu Wan said, “It’s nothing. How are your injuries?”
Wan Feng replied, “Young Madam’s medical skills are brilliant. Wan Feng is fine.”
This conversation was not something that the eunuch could figure out.
“They are…” Wan Feng looked at the three chubby little fellows in a daze.
Yu Wan smiled. “My sons.”
“Ah.” Wan Feng was surprised.
The three little fatties hugged Yu Wan and turned to look at Wan Feng warily, as if their mother was theirs and no one could snatch her away.
“I-I’m sorry. I bumped into them just now,” Wan Feng said, scratching his head.
It was clearly the little fellows who bumped into him. Yu Wan could accept his good intentions, but she could not let her sons not understand where they were wrong. Yu Wan did not blame them and only looked at them quietly.
At first, the three of them were still stubbornly looking at Yu Wan. After a while, they could not take it anymore and lowered their heads.
Alright, we won’t run around anymore…
In front of outsiders, Yu Wan did not embarrass the children too much. After saying goodbye to Wan Feng, she led the children to the private room. When she turned the corner, a sage-like elder walked over. Yu Wan did not know him and only nodded slightly before brushing past him.
The elder nodded slightly as a greeting to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan and the others quickly walked away.
The elder frowned.
“Master,” Wan Feng called out to him.
The State Preceptor looked at Yu Wan’s back with a complicated expression. “Who is she?”
Wan Feng smiled and said, “She’s Young Master Yan’s wife. She was the one who treated my injuries in the Prince Cheng Manor that day. Master, what happened to her?”
“Nothing.” The State Preceptor looked away. “The hunt should be over. Let’s go back to the other palace.”
“We didn’t even enter the hunting ground…” Wan Feng muttered regretfully. It was fine if he came late and didn’t enter the venue with everyone, but why did he find it troublesome to go and take a look?
