Seeing how well-behaved and sensible Su Yun'an was, Pei Luo's heart softened immediately. She helped him up with a pained expression and said, "Silly child, you think you can escape my clutches just because you went out to take care of something? You have to come back and practice martial arts obediently as soon as you're done."
Why did she say it as if she had already graduated and was about to leave him completely? It really made him feel uneasy.
"Yes," Su Yun'an immediately replied loudly.
Although he hadn't spent much time with his master, he loved him very much and enjoyed life in the bamboo forest. Once he finished his business, he would immediately return to be with his master, practice martial arts diligently, protect his mother and sister in the future, and also be filial to his master and uncle.
Pei Luo affectionately patted his head: "Good boy, go on."
Pei Luo then looked at You Yi seriously and said, "Take good care of my apprentice!"
"I know!" You Yi replied perfunctorily, then pulled Su Yun'an into the carriage.
Su Yun'an was also worried about Pei Luo, so he lifted the carriage curtain and instructed Mo Qi, "Take good care of Master."
Mo Qi immediately replied, "Young Master, rest assured, this servant will take good care of Grandmaster."
"Alright, your master didn't starve or freeze to death when he was alone in the bamboo forest, so he doesn't need any care!"
As the master and apprentice were reluctant to part, Youyi kept pouring cold water on their feelings.
Su Yun'an glared at You Yi with a hint of resentment.
As always, my uncle was a disappointment!
Now that her martial uncle is accompanying Yun An to her father's hometown, Su Xuening is also worried about her master. Of course, she is not worried about her master's safety, but she is afraid that her master will be lonely: "Why don't you come back to the Holy King's Mansion with us to stay?"
Bai Shi chimed in, "This bamboo forest is indeed lonely. Why don't you come back to the Holy King's Mansion with us, Doctor Luo? It will be more lively for us."
Pei Luo was hardly used to the Holy King's Mansion: "Forget it, I'll stay here and go when the girl is about to give birth."
It wasn't his place after all, and even though Bai Yatou and Yaya were both nice, he didn't want to bother them.
He can go and be with her when she gives birth.
Seeing that Pei Luo was unwilling to go, Bai Shi and Su Xuening did not force her.
"Then we'll head back. If Master needs anything, please send me a message." Su Xuening glanced at Pei Luo reluctantly before getting into the carriage with Bai Shi.
After bidding farewell to Pei Luo, the group headed towards Kyoto.
Bai Shi and Su Xuening first accompanied Su Yun'an and You Yi back to the General's Mansion.
When the carriage from the Holy King's Mansion arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, Uncle Ping hurriedly came out to greet it.
Su Yun'an and You Yi got off the carriage first. When Uncle Ping saw Su Yun'an, his face lit up with joy: "Young Master, you're back!"
Uncle Ping ran to Su Yun'an's side, looked at his taller figure, and was moved to tears: "Young Master, you've grown taller, even taller than Uncle Ping. You'll definitely grow to the size of the Great General in the future."
Su Yun'an felt embarrassed by Uncle Ping's praise.
He has indeed grown taller, especially after practicing martial arts. He eats more, and his height has increased rapidly.
He's still quite a distance from his father's height, who is nine feet tall. But his sister says he's still young and has several more years to grow. He doesn't know if he'll be as tall as his father in the future, but he certainly won't be too short.
"Young Master, did you come back alone?" Uncle Ping had just asked when he saw Bai Shi and Su Xuening get off the carriage.
"Your Highness, Miss." Upon seeing this, Uncle Ping first stepped forward to pay his respects to Madam Bai before helping Su Xuening up.
Looking at Su Xuening's large belly, Uncle Ping asked with concern, "Is there something wrong with the young master and young lady suddenly returning? If you need anything, just send someone to call this old servant. There's no need for you to come all this way yourself!"
He was genuinely worried that something might happen to the young lady with such a big belly!
Su Xuening knew that Uncle Ping was concerned about her, and smiled and said, "It's okay, I still have several months before I give birth. I'm very healthy and I can still go out and walk around."
As Su Xuening spoke, she looked at You Yi and introduced him to Uncle Ping: "Uncle Ping, this is my and Yun An's martial uncle."
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ping immediately bowed to You Yi and said, "Greetings, Uncle-Master."
Youyi nodded to Uncle Ping, showing that both the girl and the boy valued Uncle Ping quite a bit.
Su Yun'an helped Su Xuening up and said to everyone, "Let's go inside the mansion to talk first."
"Your Highness, please go first," Su Yun'an said, not forgetting to greet Bai Shi.
The group entered the General's Mansion together.
Upon arriving at the main hall, Uncle Ping immediately had tea served.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Su Xuening looked at Uncle Ping and said, "We came back this time because we wanted you to go back to your hometown with Yun'an to visit your relatives."
"Going back to visit relatives?" Uncle Ping was taken aback for a moment, then subconsciously asked, "Does Miss mean Kaiyang?"
He remembered that the general's hometown was Kaiyang. At that time, the general took him back to pick up his second master and great-aunt, who is now Consort Su.
"Yes." Su Xuening nodded: "I'm going back to Kaiyang to visit my family."
Uncle Ping looked at Su Xuening's large pregnant belly with some concern: "Why did you suddenly decide to go back to your hometown to visit relatives? Is Miss going too?"
Su Xuening touched her belly and said, "I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights. I keep dreaming that my father tells me he misses his hometown. I'm too pregnant to leave now, so I can only send Yun'an back to visit his family and pay respects to my father."
When my father passed away, his coffin was sent back to Kaiyang and he was buried in the Su family ancestral cemetery.
Back then, she and Yun'an didn't go to Kaiyang to bury their father; his body was sent back by Su Renyi. They hadn't been to Kaiyang for many years, mainly because they were a widow and her young daughter, Yun'an was too young, and Kaiyang was too far away; their mother was also always worried about them going. Later, when their mother disappeared, all their energy was focused on finding her, leaving them even less time to pay respects to their father.
So every year on the anniversary of their father's death, they only pay respects to his memorial tablet.
Now that I have the opportunity to go to Kaiyang, I must go and pay my respects to my father.
Uncle Ping understood, and naturally dared not have any objection. He nodded and said, "Going to Kaiyang is good. The General has been gone for so many years, and this old servant has not yet paid his respects."
Uncle Ping thought of the deceased general, and his expression was indescribably desolate.
If it weren't for the great general rescuing him back then, he would probably be dead by now, let alone be able to work as a steward in the great general's mansion.
Such a good man as the General died young!
A somber atmosphere instantly filled the air; everyone seemed to be thinking of Su Renzhong, and their expressions were all somewhat sad.
Su Xuening looked at Uncle Ping and said, "Since you're going back to your hometown to visit relatives, you should prepare more gifts, as well as some offerings for worship."
"yes."
Even if Su Xuening didn't ask, Uncle Ping would have prepared these things.
"There's no time to lose. Go pack your things and we'll set off today."
"Yes, this old servant will go and prepare it right away."
Uncle Ping was surprised that the young lady was in such a hurry, and he didn't dare to ask any more questions. He immediately went to make preparations.
