Gong Yunxiao offered a solution, assuming Su Zheyu would accept it and back down, but...
"I don't want a year, how about a month? A year is too long, I'll go crazy." Su Zheyu began to bargain.
"Six months."
"Two months."
"Four months."
"Three months."
"make a deal."
After some back and forth between Gong Yunxiao and Su Zheyu, the timeframe was finally set at three months.
"Thank you, brother," Su Zheyu said politely.
"I haven't agreed yet."
Fang Xiyue blinked. Didn't anyone even ask for her opinion? She might be a little lecherous, but she wouldn't accept just anyone's advances.
Su Zheyu, who was in the middle of a happy moment, suddenly froze and turned his head stiffly to look at Fang Xiyue. "Xiyue, am I...am I not good-looking?" Su Zheyu asked, his eyes brimming with tears.
Fang Xiyue suddenly couldn't say no. This Lord Su was really different from what she had imagined. "Um, I agree, I agree, don't cry."
This Lord Su is about the same age as her, but he still seems like a child.
Su Zheyu stopped crying and started laughing, finally feeling relieved.
And so Su Zheyu began what he considered a long three-month journey of integrating into the family.
Su Zheyu would come to the village whenever he had free time. Later, Fang Xiyue felt that Ye Zimo's commuting was too troublesome, so the whole family moved to the city. Of course, Heiyun Village was still her home, and she was still the village chief of Heiyun Village.
Most of the villagers in Black Cloud Village also run shops or work in the city, so they can find her directly in the city if they need anything.
So Su Zheyu simply moved into Fang Xiyue's house. Every day after returning from the yamen, he would change his clothes, wash up, and then go to see the three babies.
The Emperor Emeritus, Empress Dowager, and Chu's parents only stayed in Black Cloud Village for a month before returning home. They couldn't stay outside for long; there were still many things to do at home.
Time flies, and the three babies have grown a lot. Now they crawl around everywhere, and if you're not careful, they'll fall right under your feet. Adults have to be careful at all times to avoid hurting the babies.
Su Zheyu and Xiao Zihan are enthusiastic about calling their children "Daddy" every day, hoping to be the first ones to do so.
As it turned out, the first person the baby called "Daddy" was Nanxuan, who had just returned from a victorious battle, covered in dust.
He was on his way back to the capital, and he stopped by to take a look, otherwise he was afraid that Xi Yue would forget him.
When he saw a room full of handsome men, he almost lost control. It seemed that Xi Yue had no idea about him at all. What did he matter with so many handsome men by his side?
Just as he was feeling downcast, Sanbao crawled up to him and hugged his leg, calling out, "Daddy, Daddy."
Nanxuan's legs were stiff, but he still reached out and picked up the baby. The pink and tender little dumpling looked at him and reached out its chubby little hands to grab his hair.
"Is this my child?" Nanxuan looked at Gong Yunxiao for clarification.
"I don't know. Anyway, if it's not yours, it's mine or Song Yifan's. It's also possible that the three of us will each have one."
Gong Yunxiao has stopped arguing about it. Anyway, there's no way to find out. The children are already starting to look different, and it'll probably be clear who their father is when they grow up a bit more.
Nanxuan looked at the three babies and felt they looked more and more like him. Then he looked down at the other two babies who had crawled over and picked up all three babies at once.
It was the first time the three babies had been wrapped up together, and they were overjoyed. From then on, their favorite dad changed from Seventh Daddy to Second Daddy.
Su Zheyu was practically biting his handkerchief in frustration. He had tried so hard, yet he couldn't compare to someone who had just appeared. Waaah!
Nanxuan couldn't stay too long, and that night he was granted the right to sleep with Yueyue because of this.
He had been thinking about it for so long that he became a little unrestrained, and Fang Xiyue was still asleep when he left the next morning.
Su Zheyu and Xiao Zihan, with huge dark circles under their eyes, watched Nan Xuan leave with resentment. Now they were the only two who didn't get any meat, how pitiful.
Everyone was waiting for Nanxuan to come back so the family could reunite, but instead they received the news that Nanxuan had been imprisoned.
It turned out that the Emperor had bestowed a marriage upon Nanxuan, but Nanxuan immediately said that he was already married and refused the Emperor's bestowal.
The Emperor was furious when his repeated attempts to bestow marriage upon Nanxuan were rejected, and ordered Nanxuan to be arrested.
He knew that his decision was too extreme, but he just felt a surge of anger at the time.
Some ministers now believe that the Emperor is right, and that Nanxuan is disregarding the Emperor's authority; while others feel that the Emperor is making a mountain out of a molehill and has hurt the feelings of loyal ministers, and that Nanxuan was not rewarded for winning the battle but instead imprisoned, which is seen as an attempt to regain military power, etc.
The messenger was sent by the steward of the Prince Xiao's mansion. He was the only one who knew that Nanxuan and the Prince had both married into the Princess's family at the same time.
If word got out that the general and the prince had become a couple, it would surely be interpreted as the prince harboring rebellious intentions.
But now we have no choice but to tell him. If the Emperor doesn't believe us, then we'll hand over the military power to him, and Nanxuan will go home with Fang Xiyue.
Gong Yunxiao and Song Yifan hurried back to the capital. Fang Xiyue wanted to go, but with three children to care for, she had to hold back.
However, she fainted in her anxiety, and Ye Ziming took her pulse and found that she was pregnant again.
Only one question lingered in Ye Ziming's mind: "Could this child still be my second brother's?"
Everyone tried so hard before but couldn't get pregnant, but my second brother only stayed one night and now Yueyue is pregnant. It's about time.
However, this was just a joke. You can tell from the appearance of the triplets that the eldest is Gong Yunxiao's, and the second and third are Song Yifan's.
Knowing she was pregnant again, Fang Xiyue tried her best to calm herself down and stop thinking about those worrying things.
Su Zheyu and the other three were plotting how to rescue Nan Xuan. Xiao Zihan thought he could gather some martial arts masters to break him out of prison, and of course, Chu Xingyan would pay for it.
Ye Ziming provided various medicinal herbs for emergencies, and all Su Zheyu could do was let them pass, turning a blind eye.
A few days ago, all seven of their names were written down next to Fang Xiyue's name. They are now a real family, so they will share both good times and bad!
We had agreed before that if we heard anything again in two months, we would find another way, so everyone was counting down the days.
Just as everyone was about to set off for the capital, Jin Muze arrived unexpectedly, and the person he escorted back was none other than the seriously injured Nan Xuan.
The Emperor was not a foolish ruler; he did not order anyone to torture Nan Xuan. However, someone took advantage of his position and tortured Nan Xuan in private. If Jin Muze had not arrived in time, Nan Xuan would probably have lost his life.
Jin Muze and Nan Xuan were originally good friends and planned to go to the battlefield together, but Jin Muze stayed behind due to family reasons.
After rescuing Nan Xuan, Jin Muze stayed with him in the prison, fearing that something might happen to him again.
