Luo Chen took out the remaining red egg: "Mother, I'm sorry, we just wanted to offer a sacrifice on her birthday."

Xiao Yunying placed the memorial tablet on the table: "It's alright, I don't care about this."

Others might find it unlucky, but she genuinely didn't think it was anything to worry about.

How could someone who had died and come back to life, living in someone else's body, possibly find the original owner's memorial tablet unlucky?

Xiao Yunying stroked the memorial tablet: "When did you make this?"

Luo Yang told the truth: "It was made by borrowing a carving knife from Grandma Yang a few days after we recognized you as our mother."

Xiao Yunying said with emotion, "You've put your heart into this."

She's not even as good as two children.

They've been using someone else's body for so long, and they haven't even thought to offer a proper farewell.

Perhaps it's because I'm a modern person, I don't have that much of an obsession with these things, and I don't care much about them.

Perhaps it's a subconscious escape from reality.

Xiao Yunying said half-jokingly, "It's fine for you to keep memorial tablets, but there's one thing: no one else can see them. Otherwise, I can only say that you're crazy and trying to curse me. I won't acknowledge anything else."

Luo Chen and Luo Yang both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This is indeed a reaction only their mother would make, which shows that she really wasn't angry.

Luo Chen said, "We won't take the house out, so no one will see it."

"That's fine then." Xiao Yunying remembered what she had come to tell them:

"I came to ask you about the small house in the south of the city that was part of the thank-you gift from the Chen family. I noticed that you travel to and from the academy by carriage every day. I wonder if that's too tiring for you. If not, you can stay there on weekdays and come back on your days off."

She had asked the children about this before, and they said they could rent a place to stay in the city.

The children all said no, so she went along with them.

Now that she has her own house, it's much more convenient than renting, so she thought she'd come back and ask again.

Luo Yang asked, "Aren't Mother and Little Sister going to stay there?"

Xiao Yunying said, "I won't go. I can't leave this place."

Luo Yang said, "We still want to come back to live here. If we live in the city, we won't be able to eat our mother's cooking, and Ali can't accept that."

Xiao Yunying thought about it and realized that it was indeed possible.

She muttered, "That gluttonous brat."

Luo Chen said, "Don't worry, Mother, we're not tired, and this won't interfere with our studies."

Xiao Yunying said, "Alright, do whatever you're used to. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving."

As soon as she stepped outside, she saw Luo Sheng standing not far away, looking in her direction.

Seeing her come out, he nodded to her and then looked away.

Xiao Yunying quickly closed the door and left, muttering to herself, "Why is he always so unpredictable? It's terrifying."

Not noticing Luo Sheng behind him, he turned his gaze back, his expression serious as if he were deep in thought.

At noon, Xiao Yunying suddenly got the urge to make a large two-tiered cake.

The cake base was filled with homemade strawberry jam, and decorated with whipped cream and frosting.

It was the first time the children had ever seen a cream cake, and they were very curious about it, eating it little by little with their small spoons.

Even Luo Sheng, whose expression remained almost unchanged, showed a hint of surprise when he tasted the cream.

Xiao Yunying thought to herself: Little brat, you're shocked, aren't you? There are still many things you haven't seen before. I'll have plenty of opportunities to surprise you in the future.

She had Luo Chen and Luo Yang run errands to deliver cakes to the Yang family and her own family to try, and she also made some other food at home.

After lunch, when no one was looking, Xiao Yunying quietly went to the room at the far end where the original owner's things were stored and found the wedding dress that the original owner had embroidered herself.

Xiao Yunying touched the embroidery on her wedding dress, sighed, and closed the wooden box.

She put the wooden box into the supermarket, came out empty-handed, and told the children that she was going to Xishan.

Luo Chen wasn't as good at hiding her emotions as Luo Yang, and she called out to her somewhat nervously, "Mother... when are you coming back?"

Xiao Yunying said, "We'll be back soon. You can rest for a while at noon and then study again in the afternoon. Don't overwork yourselves."

Only after receiving a positive answer did Luo Chen feel relieved.

Luo Sheng watched quietly from the side without saying a word.

What is she going to Xishan for?

Why was Luo Chen so nervous when he heard that she was going to Xishan?

But Luo Sheng knew that no one would tell him even if he asked.

After Xiao Yunying left, he got up and followed her out.

The others never paid attention to Luo Sheng's existence, and didn't ask him anything when they saw him go out.

Only Luo Yang remained, staring at the door for a long time after Luo Sheng left, lost in thought.

As soon as Luo Sheng stepped out of the gate, he saw Wei Xun walking towards him.

"Master, the things are mine..."

"We'll talk about it when I get back."

?

Wei Xun was puzzled, but after looking in the direction Luo Sheng was pointing, he realized what was going on.

Is Master going to follow Miss Xiao?

He thought about it for a moment; his master had neither told him to come along nor that he was forbidden from coming.

Finally, gritting his teeth, he tentatively followed along.

Luo Sheng noticed that Wei Xun had followed, but did not turn around to stop him, which meant he tacitly allowed him to come along.

The two followed quietly behind Xiao Yunying, keeping a distance that was neither too far nor too far for her to easily notice.

Xiao Yunying picked up a stick and tapped it against the bushes on both sides.

After walking for a while, she left the path that had been worn into the mountainside, turned to the side, and continued walking forward.

Wei Xun couldn't help but ask, "Master, where is Miss Xiao going?"
