Of course, even if that heartless little brat were heartless, he wouldn't throw the father and son out again as soon as they got back.

So, when Gou Dan comes out again, he'll be at least seventeen or eighteen.

At seventeen or eighteen, you're considered an adult and can stand on your own.

He'll be in charge of overseeing things and making sure Gou Dan does something wrong.

After the officials finished their report, Ning Yirong praised them and then took Gou Dan home with Yun Yuxuan.

The officials here are all under the jurisdiction of Gui Yunyuxuan, so even if they have problems, Ning Yirong will not point them out in public.

Of course, Yun Yuxuan wouldn't say there was no problem.

This is the border region.

When Ning Yirong and Gou Dan returned with Yun Yuxuan, Madam Yun was already waiting at the gate with the people from the mansion.

Ning Yirong did not allow Madam Yun to bow to him.

After entering the mansion, Ning Yirong and Gou Dan began chatting with Madam Yun about everyday matters. Ning Yirong focused on talking about Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun. Gou Dan focused on talking about Madam Yun's youngest daughter and eldest granddaughter.

Many members of the Yun family held official positions outside the capital, but they all shared a consensus: once a child turned three, they would be sent back to the capital to be cared for by their older siblings.

This is how the Yun family children developed their bond.

Of course, the adults in the family wouldn't ignore it either.

After about fifteen minutes, Yun Yuxuan felt that they had talked enough, so he asked Madam Yun to prepare food for Ning Yirong and Gou Dan.

After Madam Yun left, Yun Yuxuan asked Ning Yirong if there were any shortcomings in his officials' work or in the defenses on his side. If so, he would make corrections immediately.

At this point, Ning Yirong spoke his mind.

Yun Yuxuan didn't have much interaction with Ning Yirong.

After listening to Ning Yirong's words, Yun Yuxuan felt that only someone like him was worthy of his sixth child.

Ning Yirong and Gou Dan stayed at the border for more than a month.

Before leaving, Ning Yirong and Gou Dan visited Yun Xinyue's shop. Yun Xinyue and the others all took his wife's surname, so since he was there, he naturally had to take a look.

Yun Xinyun and the others were so moved that they cried.

Three months later, Ning Yirong and his group were on their way when a girl covered in blood suddenly rushed out from the side.
