When Madam Han received the news that Yun Zhao was coming back, she sent people to the station early in the morning to wait for him.

Unexpectedly, not only he was brought back, but also a young woman.

“Grandmother, this is Third Sister, whom I mentioned to you before.”

Upon arriving at the residence, Yun Zhao introduced himself in this way.

Madam Han was taken aback: "Third Sister? The Third Sister who travels around the continent and across several oceans?"

Qiu Sanniang chuckled: "It's me."

Madam Han exclaimed in amazement, "I never would have guessed! I thought that a woman as extraordinary as Third Sister, who even men would be ashamed of, must have three heads and six arms. I never expected her to be such a delicate young lady."

Third Sister was already over twenty and had been married before, so she had long considered herself a woman. Being called "elder sister" by her made her feel ashamed.

She still thought Han didn't know she had been a pirate, and was about to explain when she heard her continue:

"I heard that you used to be in charge of tens of thousands of people when you were a pirate. That's really impressive."

She immediately realized that the Han family knew.

Yun Zhao gave her a wink: Your grandmother knows everything about your deeds.

This made her feel inexplicably uneasy.

Most people don't want to find a daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law who is too strong-willed. Wouldn't it be difficult for Han Shi to accept someone like her who is always out and about and surrounded by men?

If she objects to her being with Yun Zhao, then she can only... live outside with Yun Zhao from now on and not come back to the manor to upset her.

She gathered her thoughts and replied, "There used to be tens of thousands of people, but they were all given to the imperial court. Now the caravan only has one or two thousand people."

Han then asked about the journey, such as what troubles and dangers they encountered, how they were resolved, and whether they were injured.

Qiu San Niang explained it to her in detail.

Han listened very attentively, and finally exclaimed, "Your journey was truly thrilling; it's no easy feat to return safely."

After saying that, he called the steward: "I want to have a welcome lunch for Third Sister. Please make the arrangements. Also, have someone notify the General's Mansion and the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion to see if Wan Yin, Xiao Yun, and Qing Yin are free to come over for lunch."

Qiu Sanniang quickly waved her hand: "No need for such trouble. Yun Zhao and the others held a welcome banquet for me the day after I returned."

Han laughed heartily: "What does what they're doing have to do with me? You've come all the way to the capital, and this is your first time visiting our residence, so we're bound to have a banquet."

Qiu San Niang couldn't argue with her, so she could only accept it gladly.

"Thank you so much!"

Madam Han gave her a reproachful look: "What's there to thank me for? You've earned a bright future for Yun Zhao, and I haven't even thanked you yet."

It is said that Qiu Sanniang offered the members of the Hongyun Gang to the imperial court, which led to Yun Zhao taking charge of the Southern Navy.

Qiu Sanniang dared not take credit and humbly said, "Sanniang only did what she was supposed to do. Yun Zhao's appointment was earned by himself and has nothing to do with me."

"How can it be unrelated? When he was stranded on the deserted island, if he hadn't met you, he would have been fish and birds food long ago. He would never have had the chance to participate in naval battles and show his skills."

Han was a grateful person, and she always remembered Qiu Sanniang's great kindness to Yun Zhao.

It is an honor for the Yun family that such a kind, capable, and courageous girl has taken a liking to Yun Zhao.

She would love to treat her like a goddess, so why would she deliberately make things difficult for her?

Qiu San Niang felt her sincerity and enthusiasm, and her apprehension disappeared.

As expected of the old lady of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, whose family was full of loyal martyrs, her vision and mind are different from ordinary old ladies.

A relationship that receives the blessings of family is naturally happier than one that requires struggle.

She lowered her guard and chatted more and more with the old lady, leaving Yun Zhao feeling left out and somewhat superfluous.

Upon hearing that Yun Zhao had brought Qiu San Niang back to the manor, Xiao Qingyin immediately rushed over.

She and Qiu San Niang already got along well, and after so long apart, their conversations became even more endless.

They talked non-stop for almost the entire meal.

The two women stopped talking when Yun Zhao said he wanted to go see Yun Shu after dinner.

"Do you want to come along?"

She asked Qiu San Niang.

Qiu Sanniang nodded: "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Han and Yun hadn't seen Yun Shu for several days, so they all went over together.

After several days of repairs, Yun Shu is able to speak again, and she is very happy to see everyone visiting.

"You've all come in? Please have a seat."

The group sat down around her and the child.

Yun Zhao adored this niece, but seeing her soft and cuddly appearance, he didn't dare to hold her.

He gently rocked the cradle with one hand and asked Yun Shu, "Have you named it yet?"

Yun Shu nodded: "His name is Wei Yi, and his nickname is Yi Yi."

Yun Zhao then called out to the child, "Yi Yi".

Xiao Weiyi seemed to know that he was being called, and grinned at him.

Yun Zhao smiled indulgently: "So good."

Yun Shu was quite surprised by Qiu San Niang's arrival. When she was unable to move and could only lie down and listen to people talk, the person she envied the most was Qiu San Niang.

I envy her courage and boldness to travel the world, and I envy her freedom to move around freely.

She told Qiu San Niang about her envy.

"Sister Qiu, do you know, when I was unable to move, I thought many times that if I could get better, I would definitely travel the world like you."

Qiu San Niang chuckled: "In a little while, you will be able to realize this wish."

Yun Shu smiled.

Wei Yan had heard her mention this wish before, and hearing it again now filled him with a sense of urgency.

He needs to develop the aircraft quickly.

That way, once Xiaoshu recovers, he can fly her around the world.
