Chapter 472 Meet Again

Xixi sadly discovered that after coming out of Changle Palace, her father once again carried her to the place where she went to class.

It was still dark.

Although children are not allowed to sigh, Xixi really wants to sigh.

"When Yuan Li and Yuan Yi arrive, how about letting them come to the palace and study with you?"

Xixi's eyes lit up, and she called out the names, "I also want Ansheng, Zizhen, Changfeng and the others. Oh, and Wu Ciyi has to come too!"

Ji Sheng listened to these names and shook his head, saying, "Some people can't come."

"Who can't come?"

"Lu Changfeng's father died, and he didn't stay with the Zhou family. Wu Ciyi also left. As for He Zizhen, he lost an arm."

"That still leaves one arm, doesn't it?" Xixi said to Jisheng, "Zizhen is very smart. One arm is enough."

Ji Sheng thought about it and nodded, "As long as you like it."

"But there is one thing I want to tell you. If Yuan Li and Yuan Yi come to the palace as study companions, what will you do if your current study companion has any objections?"

Now Xixi only needs to deal with the matters between her study partners. When she grows up, she will be dealing with the affairs of factions in the court, which is similar in nature.

Xixi thought for a moment and said to Ji Sheng, "Just do what you have to do."

"Children should solve their own problems. If they can't solve them... they can leave."

"Even Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others?"

Xixi nodded. "If they can't solve the problem of my current study partner, it only means that they are not suitable to stay in the palace with me. Then I can go out of the palace to see them!"

Xixi looked at Ji Sheng with hope in her eyes and said, "Daddy, I can leave the palace, right?"

"Um."

"Great!" Xixi raised her hands happily, "Today is such a good day!"

Today is indeed a good day.

Zhou Yunshu, who had already gone out to sea, not only successfully took over all the islands previously occupied by pirates, but she even ran into acquaintances.

An acquaintance she had never thought of before.

An acquaintance who shouldn't be on this island.

Zhou Yunshu looked at Lily, who was dressed like an ordinary woman on the island, and subconsciously called out her name.

She also suspected that she just looked like Lily. After all, although Lily was not dead before, she was exiled to the north to become a military prostitute. How could she appear on the island?

But the woman's subconscious desire to turn back when she heard the word "Lily" was not fake, which means that this person was really Lily.

Lily felt a little nervous and indescribably happy when she heard Zhou Yunshu calling her name.

She turned around, looked at Zhou Yunshu and shouted openly, "Sir, long time no see."

When Lily's entire face turned towards Zhou Yunshu, Zhou Yunshu discovered that the half of her face that she had not seen before had two deep, intersecting scars.

Lily noticed Zhou Yunshu's gaze and unconsciously reached out to touch her wound. She said, "Has it become uglier?"

"Um."

Lily didn't get angry when she heard Zhou Yunshu's frank voice. Instead, she smiled and said, "It's not good-looking anymore."

"It's okay." Zhou Yunshu said to Lily.

Lily walked over to Zhou Yunshu, holding her child in her arms. With an indescribable excitement, she said to Zhou Yunshu, "I cut this scar myself."

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You know what? I used to be a beauty, but being too popular was also very distressing."

Zhou Yunshu looked at the lily in front of her, which had become much more lively, and asked, "How are you doing now?"

Lily let out a long sigh and said, "This time on the island was the happiest time of my life."

Even though the clothes, food and daily necessities here are not even one tenth of what they used to be, no one here knows her, and no one asks about her background.

Because except for the pirates' relatives, all the others on the island were captured, and they naturally felt a sense of closeness.

Lily felt very comfortable.

She held the child in her arms and showed it to Zhou Yunshu, "Sir, this is my child."

"Her mother died during childbirth, and no one else wants to raise her, but I want to."

When Lily talked about her children, her eyes were filled with soft light.

“Very cute.”

The child was well taken care of by Lily. He was chubby and had round eyes.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Lily looked around at Zhou Yunshu's people driving away the people registering on the island and asked, "Can't we stay here anymore?"

She actually didn't want to go to the land. She thought this island was great. If she didn't want to live anymore, she could just jump into the sea from the island.

But now it’s no longer possible. Lily looked at the little one in her arms and realized that she had to raise the child.

Zhou Yunshu didn't know Lily's attitude towards life, so she just said, "It's not that I can't stay, but life here is definitely not as convenient as in Haizhou."

"Cloud City is newly built now, and there are still many empty houses. If you want to go there, I can arrange one for you."

To be honest, Lily felt a little moved after hearing what Zhou Yunshu said.

"free?"

Zhou Yunshu looked at Lily's money-grubbing look and said, "I'll give it to you for free."

"However, you two can't live in a very large place. How about I find you a small yard near my house that's safer?"

"Sir, if only you were a man."

Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "No, it's precisely because I'm a woman."

Lily blinked, then her eyes grew warm as she smiled and said, "Yes, sir, you're right! It's because you're a woman, hahaha, yes, it's because you're a woman!"

Zhou Yunshu patted Lily's shoulder and said, "Yuncheng is great. If you can read, you can come to the government office and find a job, or you can start a small business on your own. You can survive with your child."

Lily suppressed her tears and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Don't you want to ask me how I escaped from the northern border to this island?"

Zhou Yunshu shook her head. She was not that curious. It was enough for her to see that Lily was safe and even living a good life.

"People have eyes that look forward." Zhou Yunshu said to Lily, "Lily, you should also look forward from now on, and only focus on the present and the future."

Lily held back her tears and said to Zhou Yunshu, "Thank you, sir."

With Lily as an "undercover", Zhou Yunshu found another fifty or sixty people from the island where they were and several nearby islands. Most of them were the pirates' families.

The pirates' families remained on the island and were guarded, while the rest of the people who were looted to the island were all taken away.

It has to be said that although there is not much food on the island, there are still gold, silver, jewelry and weapons, especially gold, silver and jewelry. This money is enough to build four or five more cloud cities.

Zhou Yunshu originally wanted to return directly to Yuncheng with a large ship full of gold, silver, jewelry and weapons, but she met the person sent by Ji Sheng to Yuncheng to report the news on the island.

After knowing that Ji Mingzhu was in a bad condition, Zhou Yunshu didn't say anything. After leaving all matters to Hu Zi and Du Mazi, she took another boat to the capital.
