Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation | Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Yu Yunxi woke up the next morning, she found that the little bun was still sleeping soundly in her arms. However, they were no longer on the chair, but on the bed.
Sensing the movement, the little bun stirred. He rubbed his eyes and called out softly, “Mother.”
Yu Yunxi skillfully smoothed his messy hair and carried him up.
After the little bun stood barefoot on the ground, he looked around in confusion and asked sleepily, “Mother, where’s Father?”
‘That’s right. Where’s Feng Yili?’
Yu Yunxi looked around, frowning slightly.
The two of them put on their shoes and walked out of the room.
Qian Jiao, who was waiting at the door, came over to greet the duo as soon as she saw them.
“County Princess, Little Master..
“Qian Jiao, do you know where the Prince Regent went?” Yu Yunxi asked lightly.
“The Prince Regent and Young Master went to the military camp very early in the morning,” Qian Jiao replied.
“They…”
Yu Yunxi felt her head ache immediately.
‘Do they not care about their health?’
“Prepare the medicine for the Prince Regent and the Young Master. I’ll bring the medicine to them,” Yu Yunxi said helplessly.
“Yes, County Princess.”
“Qian Mei, bring Junjin to wash up first,” Yu Yunxi said to Qian Mei, who was standing nearby.
Qian Mei quickly walked over and carried the sleepy little bun away.
Yu Yunxi’s expression turned serious after they left. She asked, “Qian Jiao, did you succeed last night?”
“Yes. It’s just as you expected, County Princess,” Qian Jiao hurriedly replied with a nod.
“Then let’s deal with this trivial matter first before going to the military camp,” Yu Yunxi said coldly.
When Yu Yunxi and Qian Jiao arrived at the hall, Jiang Ru, Jian Xin, the little bun, and Liu Xiaolan were already there. There was also… Guan Ying.
“Mother,” the little bun called out as he ran over to hold his mother’s hand.
Jiang Ru did not stop the little bun. Her expression was solemn. She had heard a little about the matter last night. It was good that everything had been resolved. After all, it was obvious that the little bun liked Feng Yili a lot. She and her husband thought that as long as Feng Yili was sincere, it would be good if Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi could rekindle their relationship. As for the plan they previously discussed, it was fine to give up on it. As such, it did not matter now if the little bun openly addressed Yu Yunxi as ‘Mother’.
“Godmother, Sister Jian,” Yu Yunxi greeted Jiang Ru and Jian Xin as she held the little bun’s hand.
“I heard you were injured yesterday. How are your injuries?” Jiang Ru asked worriedly.
Yu Yunxi quickly shook her head and said, “Godmother, don’t worry. I’ve already taken the medicine, and I feel much better.”
At this moment, Guan Ying covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said in a strange tone, “That’s right, Aunt. Cousin Sister is a hero, after all. This kind of small injury is nothing to her.”
“Ying, what nonsense are you saying?” Jiang Ru scolded sternly.
However, Guan Ying was not afraid. She knew that her aunt indulged her a lot because of her parents. She said calmly, “What I mean is that Cousin Sister is really amazing. Not only is she the female general of Xinan, but she also brought reinforcements to Xinan. If it were not for the Prince Regent, I’m afraid Cousin Sister would be in danger last night. However, if she knew the
Prince Regent was going to help, she should’ve asked him to come over earlier. That way, Xinan’s troops wouldn’t have to sacrifice so much…”
“Guan Ying, whether they’re from Xinan or not, they’re all human lives. There’s no distinction between them. Moreover, if you continue to spout such ignorant words that show your stupidity, I won’t let you off so easily,” Yu Yunxi said coldly.
“You… Aunt, look at her. I was merely stating my opinion. Is there a need for her to be so fierce to me?” Guan Ying said as she stomped her foot, looking as though she had been wronged.
“Your cousin sister is right. If you can’t help, then don’t spout nonsense,” Jiang Ru said seriously.
“Aunt…” Guan Ying’s eyes turned red, and she felt extremely uncomfortable when she heard these words.
‘It’s all that b*tch’s fault!’
Guan Ying glared at Yu Yunxi with unconcealed hatred in her eyes.
At this moment, Liu Xiaolan, who was sitting across from Guan Ying, said bluntly, “Miss Guan, don’t look so hateful. You might scare the child.”
“You!”
Guan Ying was infuriated, but Liu Xiaolan flicked her hair nonchalantly. Before Feng Yili left in the morning, he had repeatedly reminded Liu Xiaolan to protect Yu Yunxi.
‘Ha, this Guan Ying thinks she can bully Sister-in-law? Keep dreaming!’
Jian Xin, who was sitting next to Liu Xiaolan, could not help but smile when she heard Liu Xiaolan’s sarcastic words. Then, she nodded at him approvingly.
When Liu Xiaolan looked at the smiling Jian Xin, he was instantly reminded of what happened last night. His body stiffened, and his expression was very awkward. He coughed lightly and quickly looked away.
Jiang Ru waved at Yu Yunxi and the little bun, saying, “Yunxi, Junjin, come and
” eat.
The mother and son walked over, sitting next to Jiang Ru.
The seating arrangement made Guan Ying extremely jealous. She put down her chopsticks and said coquettishly to Jiang Ru, “Aunt, I’m about to get engaged to Brother Siyuan. Although it’s just an engagement, the banquet.
Guan Ying wanted to say that she was the Young Miss of the King of Xinan’s Residence, after all. If her engagement banquet was too shabby, it would be an embarrassment. However, before she could finish speaking, Jiang Ru spoke first.
“The war in Xinan is very worrying now. People are not in the mood to celebrate. How can the King of Xinan’s Residence celebrate joyously at such a time? Guan Ying, I’ve already thought about the matter between you and Young General Ying with the Ying family. We’ll talk about it more after the war is over…”
‘What?’
Guan Ying clenched her hands under her sleeves tightly. She had put a lot of effort into this matter, but Jiang Ru ruined her plans with just a few words. She called out, unwilling to give up, “Aunt…”
Jiang Ru interjected with a solemn expression, “Ying, this matter has already been decided.”
“Godmother, have some porridge.”
Seeing that Jiang Ru was in a bad mood because of Guan Ying’s insensibility, Yu Yunxi took the initiative to scoop a bowl of porridge for Jlang Ru, breaking the tense atmosphere.
Jiang Ru glanced at Yu Yunxi and then at the clearly unwilling Guan Ying before she sighed slightly.
‘If only Ying is half as sensible as Yunxi…’
At this moment, Yu Yunxi suddenly said, “Godmother, there’s something I need your help with later.”
“What is it?” Jiang Ru asked gently.
“The people of Nanyue schemed against us and infected our people…”
“Didn’t you already find the antidote? The soldiers and the people have already taken the antidote, right? Has everyone recovered?” Jiang Ru asked worriedly.
Yu Yunxi nodded. “Yes, we’ve found the antidote. Everyone’s conditions are improving.”
Then, Yu Yunxi looked at Guan Ying and asked, “Cousin, you were also infected.. How do you feel now?
