"You can stay in the tents over there for now. The tents are quite big; you can each have your own, or you can stay together."

Upon hearing "living together," Jiang Yu's face instantly turned red. He couldn't even imagine such a thing, yet Mianmian had said it so naturally.

It's simply...

That is impolite.

"So we can look after each other." Shen Xingmian quickly added when she saw her uncle's face turning red to the roots of his neck.

She was afraid that her words would make the two of them unsure how to get along in the future.

Jiang Yu nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will take good care of you. If there is any heavy work, just leave it to your uncle."

This was finally a chance for him to show his masculinity. Before, in the villa, servants did everything for him, which made him seem useless.

Shen Xingmian belatedly realized that her words had seemed somewhat abrupt, so she quickly added:

"When we were fleeing for our lives, the journey was tough. We were all family, so we didn't stand on ceremony and lived together. I haven't been able to get used to it yet. Uncle Jiang Yu, Sister Rui Rui, please don't mind."

Actually, it's not because of that; it's just that her modern mindset hasn't changed.

In my rural hometown, most families share a large kang (heated brick bed) with men and women, especially during the Lunar New Year.

They don't separate by gender at all; they just find their own place and don't even know who's sleeping next to them.

Upon hearing her say that, the two of them had nothing to worry about anymore; they just wanted to know if they had encountered any dangers on their escape journey.

Jiang Yu thought this way, and that's what he asked.

He should have focused on asking these questions as soon as they met, but at that moment, Rui Rui's life was in danger, so he couldn't think of anything else.

Now that Rui Rui was alright and they were in a safe place, he could finally find out about the Shen family.

Shen Xingmian thought to herself, "We've finally gotten to this part of the conversation. Usually, when people reunite after a long separation, the first thing they do is ask about each other's experiences since they parted ways."

They actually dragged it out until now before they started talking.

"Thanks to the travel permit given by Uncle Jiang Yu, everything was fine for the family. After arriving safely in the northern border, my grandfather took over the military command there, and everything returned to normal."

"Your Majesty... I mean, have you not sent any more assassins from the capital?"

He certainly didn't want the Shen family to be hunted down, but he always felt that the one sitting on the dragon throne wouldn't let them off so easily.

"They probably did, but we were traveling very fast, so those people probably didn't catch up. Even if they did run into us, they might not have recognized us."

She secretly thought to herself: Of course, who can outrun them? That's a motorhome, haha.

Previously, when she went out alone with her mother, someone came up to her with their portraits and asked if she had seen the people in the portraits.

Looking back now, Shen Xingmian finds it a bit funny, so she told them about it.

Jiang Yu also breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the Shen family left, he had been worried about them, and now he could finally relax.

He knew that after the mountains were snowbound every winter, it was extremely difficult to send out letters, let alone people.

So even though he kept guessing that everyone should be alright, he never received any definite news.

Now we finally have it.

Jiang Yu then inquired about Xiao Yanyue's situation, since she was likely to become the new monarch she would serve in the future.

As a modern person, Shen Xingmian couldn't quite understand the importance that the ancients placed on bloodlines. After all, anyone who has studied history knows that the succession of surnames on the dragon throne, while not particularly fast or frequent, has always been a constant phenomenon.

No dynasty has ever truly lasted for thousands of generations.

Therefore, she accepted the idea of ​​someone else taking over the throne with great ease.

She even felt that incompetent good-for-nothings didn't deserve to sit in that position; it should be given to the capable.

She couldn't easily share this theory with others, since everyone else considered it too outrageous.

She could only think about it in her heart and quietly wait for the day when everything would settle down.

Hearing that Xiao Yanyue was doing well and had even become Luo Qi'an's disciple, while also learning martial arts from the Shen family, Jiang Yu's heart was immediately at ease.

He knew that staying with this family would be the right thing to do.

Shen Xingmian then introduced them to the things they could use in the space, and then summoned Xue Tuan over, intending for them to get to know each other.

Although snowballs may look scary at first glance, once you get to know them, you'll find that they are harmless to your family.

We'll be walking together for a long time to come, so we can't keep Xue Tuan'er isolated from them forever.

Yu Xiurui seemed to really like small animals, and she took great care of the little rabbit, even making it a special nest out of a scarf and handkerchief.

Now, when I see a snowball, although I am startled at first glance, I quickly calm down.

Seeing Xue Tuan purring incessantly under Shen Xingmian's care, just like a big cat, she boldly approached and tried to reach out and pet it.

Shen Xingmian couldn't help but think to herself, "As expected of the older sister I've been thinking about for so long, she's quite brave. She didn't cry when she saw Xue Tuan, but instead dared to come closer."

That's truly commendable courage.

Jiang Yu, who was standing nearby, also came over, but he never put down the knife in his hand. If there was any unexpected situation, he could handle it.

Shen Xingmian knew that no matter how much she assured people, the most direct feeling Xue Tuan gave people was the terrifying intimidation of a giant beast.

It's best to give them some time to adjust.

Shen Xingmian prepared a bowl of meat and let the two of them watch Xue Tuan eat up close. However, this did not alleviate Uncle Jiang Yu's worries. Instead, he became more vigilant.

Shen Xingmian tried to see things from Uncle Jiang Yu's perspective and found that Xue Tuan's big mouth and sharp teeth were indeed more terrifying when she ate.

That is to say, Rui Rui has a strong ability to learn and likes small animals, which is why she learned so quickly.

Xue Tuan was also wary of Jiang Yu, who was standing not far away with a knife, but with Shen Xingmian by her side, this wariness did not last long.

And with that big bowl of meat, it was quickly drawn to all of its attention.

They ate with great relish, munching away happily.

It was being groomed outside when it was suddenly sent back to the space. Its owner hadn't even joined it yet, and it threw a tantrum for a while.

As a result, no one came in to comfort it for a long time, and its anger quietly dissipated.

After finishing a bowl of meat, it's back to being a vigorous and majestic tiger.
