Upon seeing this, Jiang Ying and Jiang Chuan hurriedly brought water from the well to extinguish the fire.
Yu Yunxi asked helplessly, “Junjin, what did you do?”
The little bun fidgeted with his fingers nervously. He did not dare to look at Yu Yunxi as he stammered, “I, I was afraid that you’d be hungry so, so I wanted to cook for you…”
Previously, after watching Feng Yili cook so easily, the little bun thought that he could do it too.
Yu Yunxi smiled when she heard the little bun’s words. She rubbed his head and comforted him gently. “Alright. Mother understands your intention. However, you have to be more careful in the future.”
“Yes, Mother. But, but the kitchen is burned. We won’t be able to eat…” the little bun said gloomily.
At this moment, Yu Yongnian stepped forward and said loudly, “Come, Junjin. Uncle will bring you to a restaurant for a meal.’
“There’s no need to trouble General Yu. We have other places to go,” Feng Yili said in a low voice. Then, he carried the little bun in his arms.
“Father, where are we going?” the little bun asked curiously.
“We’re going to find your Uncle Xiuran. It’s been a long time since I visited Old Marquis Luo,” Feng Yili said tonelessly. Then, he looked at Yu Yunxi before he continued to say, “Yunxi, you should come as well.”
Yu Yunxi was slightly stunned when she heard Feng Yili’s words. She understood his meaning.
Old Marquis Luo was extremely prestigious among the officials in the capital. If he acknowledged Yu Yunxi as the Princess Regent, the other officials would definitely acknowledge her as well.
With this, Yu Yunxi hurriedly said, “Liu Xiaolan, Shixuan, and Jian Xin are all in the Luo Residence. Let’s go.”
At this moment, the little bun tilted his head and asked Yu Yongnian, “Uncle, are you coming with us?”
Yu Yongnian hesitated for a moment. After all, he was not familiar with the Luo family. However, when he saw the little bun’s expectant gaze, he coughed lightly and said with a straight face, “I’ll come along.”
After a moment, Yu Yongnian asked worriedly, “There are so many of us, and it’s so sudden… Will Marquis Luo be unhappy?
“I’ve already sent someone to notify the Luo Residence in advance,” Feng Yili replied.
Yu Yongnian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Just as they were about to leave, Yu Yunxi suddenly paused in her tracks. She turned around and looked at Qian Qing, who seemed to be rooted to the ground, with a complicated expression on her face. Then, she said, “Qian Qing, you don’t have to come if you don’t want to…”
‘With the grudge between Qian Qing and the Luo family, it’ll be too cruel for her to let her come with us..
At this moment, a few people appeared at the door. The bearded man in the lead quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Feng Yili and Yu Yunxi before he said, “Greetings, Prince Regent, Princess Regent.”
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. ‘Princess Regent? He received the news quite quickly. Who is he?’
As though he could read Yu Yunxi’s mind, the bearded man said, “I’m Luo Qi, the steward of Marquis Luo’s Residence.”
“Steward Luo, why did you suddenly come at this time? Do you have something to tell me?” Feng Yili asked solemnly.
“Prince Regent, the Old Marquis is delighted that you and the Princess Regent’s visit. However, he heard that… the Second Miss of the Jian family is now with the Princess Regent. This…” Luo Qi said, trailing off at the end of his words.
“Steward Luo, what do you mean? Does this mean we’re not welcomed?” Yu Yunxi asked. She assumed that the Luo family was trying to make things difficult for Qian Qing so her tone became cold.
“No, it’s not like that,” Luo Qi said, shaking his head before he continued to say seriously, “The marquis and the marchioness hope that Second Miss Jian will also come to the residence.”
Yu Yunxi frowned slightly. She could not figure out the other party’s intention. She turned to look at Qian Qing, asking for Qian Qing’s opinion. No matter what, the most important thing was to follow Qian Qing’s intention.
Qian Qing said seriously, “County Princess, I’ll follow you to Marquis Luo’s
Residence.”
“Qian Qing, you…”
“It’s just as you said. There are some things we have to face in order to overcome them, right?” Qian Qing asked softly.
“Alright. Let’s go then.’
Since this was Qian Qing’s decision, Yu Yunxi would naturally respect it.
Luo Qi said respectfully, “Prince Regent, Princess Regent, Second Miss Jian, this way, please. The carriage is already at the door.”
“Let’s go,” Feng Yili said gently to Yu Yunxi.
“Okay.”
At the entrance of Marquis Luo’s Residence.
Luo Zhen; Old Marquis Luo, and Madam Lan; his wife, the marchioness, were waiting at the door.
Behind the couple, Luo Xiuran leaned against a pillar lazily, yawning every now and then. He said with a hint of complaint, “Father, Mother, Yili is already so familiar with our family. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?”
After traveling for so long, Luo Xiuran was really tired. All he wanted now was to have a good sleep.
“Brat, no matter how familiar the Prince Regent is with our family, we can’t disregard his identity. You should be in top condition at all times. Don’t be a burden to the Prince Regent,” Luo Zhen said seriously.
Luo Xiuran yawned and said dismissively, “Alright, alright. I understand.”
“Child, you’re still so insensible at this age. Looks like I really have to find you a wife to discipline you,” Madam Lan said, shaking her head helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhen said with a hint of complaint, “News has already spread from the palace. The Prince Regent has already reconciled with the Princess Regent. When will you find us a daughter-in-law?”
“Is it so easy to find? Moreover, even if I’ve found it, will the other party agree?” Luo Xiuran said, sulking.
“You…”
At this moment, the attendant next to Luo Zhen said, “Marquis, the carriages are here…”
With this, Luo Zhen gave up on lecturing his son.
Soon enough, they saw two carriages pulling over.
Feng Yili got down from the carriage first. Then, he turned around and extended his hand to the person behind him. Following that, the round little bun appeared. He held the little bun with one hand and extended his other hand. A delicate hand was placed in his hand before Yu Yunxi appeared in front of everyone.
“Watch your steps,” Feng Yili said softly to Yu Yunxi.
Yu Yunxi did not know whether to laugh or cry. It was not like she was sick. There was no need to be so careful.
Everyone’s gaze shifted from the couple to the little bun.
“This child.” Madam Lan was stunned.
Without waiting for Feng Yilis introduction, the little bun ran over and said in a childish voice, “Hello, Marchioness Luo, my name is Junjin. I’m their son.”
