Qu Huaiyuan's mood was also complicated at this moment. Just now, the prefect had misunderstood him as Zhen Niangzi's husband.
Besides feeling shy, he was actually overjoyed!
Even after he sat back down, his left atrium continued to tremble violently, disturbing his peace!
Because of Zhu Yuan's presence, apart from Zhen Wanwan, no one really enjoyed the meal.
Fortunately, everyone participated in the "Clean Plate Campaign," so there was no waste of food.
Prefect Fang and Zhu Yuan went to the council hall together, while Madam Fang stayed behind to chat with them.
Zhen Wanwan looked exhausted, which suggested that she might have had trouble sleeping because the child was fussy during the night.
She said considerately, "Let's stop here for today! The child should be waking up soon..."
Mrs. Fang had been trying to conceive for many years and had never stopped caring about the child. Even after being away for so long, she was still very worried about the baby.
Seeing Zhen Wanwan bring it up, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Sigh! Ever since this child was born, I start to miss him as soon as he leaves my sight..."
"I understand, please come back soon! We'll see each other again in the future, there's no rush..."
Madam Fang held Zhen Wanwan's hand and said regretfully, "I don't know when we'll be able to meet again. When we have time, we'll go see each other!"
"good!"
After returning to the courtyard, Zhen Wanwan went straight to the room. She was relieved to see that her sweet baby, Tianbao, was still asleep.
"Thank you both so much for taking care of the children. This is just a small token of my appreciation. Please take it and buy some candy..."
After everyone left, Zhen Wanwan closed the door.
She took off her shoes and socks and sat down next to the two children, then took out the money pouch that Zhu Yuan had given her from her spatial storage.
"Get rich! Get rich!"
Zhen Wanwan's eyes gleamed as she counted the banknotes one by one.
Each silver note was not a large amount; one note was worth one thousand taels of silver, and ten notes were worth one hundred taels of silver.
Originally, there were nineteen silver notes, but one hundred taels were spent on buying a carriage, leaving only seventeen fifty-tael silver notes.
Apart from that, she didn't touch the fifty taels of silver that Zhu Yuan gave her.
I'm ready to buy anything I find on the road!
Zhen Wanwan rolled around happily, kissing the silver in her hands again and again!
The feeling of suddenly becoming rich is just too amazing!
It's like they've struck gold and won the lottery for ten million!
She completely ignored the fact that she had agreed to Zhu Yuan's request.
Sweetie was unaware of her mother's joy. She frowned, as if she had dreamt of something bad.
In her dream, there was also this famine, and her mother led her and her brother through the city ablaze with fire!
Unexpectedly, her mother was discovered by thieves and captured, while her mother and brother were thrown into a huge fire and instantly burned to ashes!
Sweetie looked helplessly at the scene before her. No matter how she ran, how she cried for help, or how she pleaded, no one paid any attention to her.
Finally, she was taken to a backyard, and when she woke up again, she saw her adoptive mother from her previous life!
She was terrified!
She wasn't their daughter, and she didn't want to be their daughter anymore. She just wanted her mother, her brother, and her grandparents...
Perhaps she was crying so heartbreakingly that her mother suddenly called her name in her ear!
In the next life, be my daughter! I will definitely love you, protect you, and spoil you...
"Sweetie, did you have a nightmare?"
Zhen Wanwan tenderly wiped away Tianbao's tears, having heard that children this age often dream of immortals teaching them things.
If you don't study well, you'll get your hands slapped!
"Oh dear~ my poor sweet baby..."
Sweetie suddenly woke up and saw her mother as soon as she opened her eyes. The grievances in her heart could not be hidden at once.
"Waaaaah..."
Because she couldn't speak yet, she could only lie in her mother's arms and cry silently.
Hearing her mother's heartbeat, she felt much more at ease.
"Aww~ Don't cry, don't cry, our sweetie just had a nightmare~"
Zhen Wanwan carried Tianbao and walked back and forth in the room, talking to her to comfort her.
Because the two babies are very well-behaved at night and can now sleep through the night, Grandma Li felt at ease letting Zhen Wanwan take care of them while they slept.
Everyone else had already turned off their lights and gone to sleep, but Zhen Wanwan's room was still brightly lit.
On the roof outside the house.
Zhu Yuan sat on the roof opposite Zhen Wanwan's room, watching her walk back and forth, coaxing the baby, and listening to the lullabies she sang.
His heart suddenly felt like it was on fire.
I've never felt this way before; it's a mix of joy and anxiety that I can't quite grasp.
He really wanted to rush in!
But without a proper title or status, how could he dare to force his way into a woman's boudoir?
While the inner turmoil within Zhu Yuan was causing him to frantically struggle, the lights in Zhen Wanwan's room were also turned off.
A profound silence fell over the surroundings.
The people on the roof did not move an inch and remained seated until dawn.
The next day.
After saying goodbye to the Fang couple, Zhen Wanwan left with an extra carload of things.
"Madam Fang is too kind! You've given us such a wonderful gift..." Old Mrs. Li said quietly.
"Yes, this is the first time in my life I've ever seen so much silver."
Wang Cuihua's eyes gleamed; she couldn't forget the rows of silver coins the prefect had sent to them.
Old Mrs. Li glanced at Wang Cuihua and sternly warned her, "Eldest daughter-in-law, remember this! We only received some food and a few bolts of cloth from Madam Fang."
"As for the one you just mentioned, we haven't seen a trace of him! If I hear you spouting nonsense outside, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Wang Cuihua then realized that she had forgotten her identity when she saw the money.
She didn't deserve that money!
When Zhen Wanwan saw Wang Cuihua's aggrieved look, she was afraid that she might have other ideas and cause trouble on the way.
He then explained, "Sister-in-law, what Mother means is that there are many people and eyes on this road. If we are targeted, we might incur their jealousy!"
Old Mrs. Li glared at Wang Cuihua and snorted coldly, "Don't you even know how many layers of skin you have? If people find out, you won't even have any bones left."
"Mother, I know I was wrong! I was too stupid and didn't think things through..."
After hearing their explanations, Wang Cuihua's discomfort disappeared.
Now, on the run, she's a sitting duck with the silver in her hand!
Whether we can protect them is one thing, but whether they can survive is the biggest problem.
She won't play tricks anymore.
Anyway, the money is in the mother's hands, and sooner or later it will be spent on her grandson.
Zhen Wanwan squinted to rest, the vibrations of the horse-drawn carriage were much less than those of the donkey cart.
But she still felt a little carsick!
I should have taken some motion sickness medicine before setting off!
Zhen Wanwan felt a little uncomfortable from the swaying of the car, so she rolled down the window.
Bored, she looked around and suddenly spotted a figure on a high slope!
The man was dressed in black, with a tall and straight posture, and rode a black and brown horse.
How could it be him?
Wait, what exactly is he trying to do?
