When Su Renzhong returned with the imperial edict, Duanmu Junyu, Su Xuening, Su Yun'an, and Xuanyuan Zhan all curiously gathered around him.
Seeing that Helian Rong had indeed made Su Renzhong the Crown Prince, Su Xuening frowned and asked, "Father, do you really want to stay in Northern Wei?"
My father was very resistant to separating from my mother before, so how come he compromised so quickly?
Su Yun'an looked at Su Renzhong expectantly: "Father, aren't you coming back to Eastern Chu and Western Liang with us?"
Looking at Su Yun'an's innocent little face, Su Renzhong felt that he was a bit worse than an animal.
"Ahem!" He coughed lightly, feeling guilty, and gestured with his chin toward Duanmu Junyu: "It was your mother who made me agree."
This has nothing to do with him!
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an both looked at Duanmu Junyu curiously: "Mother, you agreed?"
Wasn't Mother always reluctant to be separated from Father?
Now that her father has become the Crown Prince and will become the Emperor of Northern Wei in the future, how can she bear to live apart from her father?
Seeing the curious looks in the two children's eyes, Duanmu Junyu felt a little guilty and glared at Su Renzhong.
Su Renzhong immediately looked away, not daring to meet Duanmu Junyu's gaze.
Duanmu Junyu pinched his waist hard in anger before saying to Su Yun'an, "I agreed to it, but I don't want to be separated from your father."
Su Xuening and Su Yun'an were both completely dumbfounded.
"Then you're giving up your position as Empress of Western Liang?"
Su Xuening's heart skipped a beat.
Mother isn't going to pass the throne to her so soon, is she? She doesn't want to be separated from Xuanyuan Zhan either.
"Yes!" Fortunately, Duanmu Junyu's answer was not what Su Xuening expected.
"Then how come you..." Su Xuening and Su Yun'an were both completely confused.
How could a mother want to be the Empress of Western Liang while her father wanted to be the Emperor of Northern Wei, and yet the two didn't want to separate?
Duanmu Junyu and Su Renzhong exchanged a glance, and Su Renzhong immediately looked away.
Duanmu Junyu had no choice but to smile awkwardly at Su Xuening and Su Yun'an: "Your father certainly can't stay in Northern Wei as emperor forever. He has to come with me to Western Liang. However, I recommended someone to your great-grandfather."
"Who?" Su Yun'an asked, bewildered.
Su Xuening immediately understood and looked at Su Yun'an.
Seeing his father, mother, sister, and even brother-in-law looking at him, Su Yun'an finally realized what was going on and said with a worried expression, "Mother isn't talking about me, is she?"
Duanmu Junyu chuckled and patted his head approvingly: "An'er is so smart!"
Su Yun'an frowned, his handsome face almost scrunched up like a pancake. He pouted unhappily, "Just because you and Father didn't want to separate, you sold me?"
...Duanmu Junyu blinked guiltily and quickly chuckled dryly, "How can this be considered selling? Countless people want the throne of Northern Wei. Look at your three great-uncles, weren't they fighting tooth and nail for it?"
Su Yun'an gritted her teeth and interrupted Duanmu Junyu, "But I don't want it! Whoever wants it can take it!"
...Duanmu Junyu felt a headache coming on, so she hugged him and coaxed him, "Then what do you suggest we do? Your great-grandfather couldn't find anyone to inherit his throne, so he insisted on having your father inherit it. You don't want your father and mother to be separated again so soon after they've just reunited, do you?"
Duanmu Junyu looked at Su Yun'an pitifully, trying to gain her sympathy. Poor Su Yun'an pouted and said sadly, "But I don't want to be separated from my father, mother, and sister either!"
Duanmu Junyu helplessly touched his little face: "Don't we have a divine beast? Mother promises that she and your father will come to Northern Wei to see you often."
...Looking at Duanmu Junyu, who was deceiving children, Su Yun'an was unhappy, very unhappy!
Su Yun'an pushed Duanmu Junyu away and ran back to her room.
Duanmu Junyu was taken aback by Su Yun'an's difficulty in accepting such a decision, and stood there for a moment, at a loss for what to do.
Su Renzhong hadn't expected Su Yun'an to be so resistant, and he became somewhat worried.
Seeing their expressions, Su Xuening smiled and reassured them, "Don't worry, he'll be fine. I'll go check on him in a bit!"
The two had been separated from Su Yun'an for a long time and really didn't know what the child was thinking or how to comfort him.
"Then it's up to you."
Duanmu Junyu exchanged a helpless glance with Su Renzhong.
She initially thought her idea was excellent, a perfect solution that satisfied both sides.
But now it seems that she overlooked An'er's own thoughts; she was too self-righteous.
Su Renzhong embraced Duanmu Junyu, offering silent comfort.
Since things have come to this point, if the child really doesn't want to stay, then he has no choice but to remain in Northern Wei.
Su Yun'an stayed in the room all day, and no one dared to go in and disturb her.
That evening, Su Xuening personally made a bowl of noodles and brought it into the room: "Are you hungry? Look what your sister brought you?"
"I'm not hungry!" Su Yun'an turned away defiantly.
Su Xuening wasn't annoyed and continued to place the bowl of noodles in front of him: "These are noodles made by your sister, your favorite. I also added an egg and cooked beef for you. Are you sure you don't want to try them?"
The aroma wafted to Su Yun'an's nose, instantly causing his stomach to rumble.
He hadn't eaten much all day, and he couldn't let his stomach suffer.
The main reason is that his sister hasn't made noodles for him in a long time, and he loves his sister's noodles the most.
After hesitating for a while, Su Yun'an sat up, took the bowl of noodles and chopsticks that Su Xuening handed him, and began to slurp the noodles.
Su Xuening looked at him with amusement and said affectionately, "Slow down, be careful not to choke."
Su Yun'an was not slow at all. He was a boy who was growing, so he got hungry easily and ate a lot.
He's been hungry for almost a day, how can he slow down?
Slurp it up, and Su Yun'an finished a bowl of noodles in just a few bites.
Seeing the empty bowl in Su Yun'an's hand, Su Xuening frowned and said, "Are you full? Do you want me to make you another bowl?"
Su Yun'an shook his head, got up and put the empty bowl back on the table before returning to bed: "One bowl is enough. Eating too much at night will keep you awake."
Su Xuening affectionately patted his head: "What's wrong? Are you still angry with your father and mother?"
Su Yun'an pursed her lips and didn't say anything.
Su Xuening knew he was still angry, so she pulled him into her arms and coaxed him gently, "Okay, don't be angry. Your mother and great-grandfather made the decision without your consent. They were wrong, and they know they were wrong now, so don't be angry."
Su Yun'an was still very angry: "They're having a good time, selling me to Northern Wei!"
My father and mother are really going too far!
Su Xuening was amused by his puffed-up face and couldn't help but pinch his little face: "You know they have just been reunited and naturally don't want to be separated. But you have seen the attitude of your great-grandfather. He is determined to have your father. So your mother really had no choice but to come up with this method."
