"Madam, has there been any news from the border? How is Xue'er? Have the other children been found?"
After returning home, Yunniang was also restless. The next morning, she went to the General's Mansion to inquire again, but this time she did not bring Old Madam Chi and the others.
"Oh dear, Yunniang, don't worry, I'll let you know as soon as I have any news! By the way, last night, news came from over there that the three children have been rescued!"
Hearing that the three children were safe, Yunniang breathed a long sigh of relief.
Seeing that she had caught her breath, the old lady still kept Han Luoxue's matter a secret.
When the old lady heard that Han Luoxue had switched three children, she said that they were just making a fool of themselves.
But the deed is done, and all she can hope for is that Han Luoxue will return as soon as possible.
"That's good! When will they be back?"
Yunniang clenched her fists tightly, vowing that once the three children returned, she would never let them go out again!
"They didn't say anything about that over there. They just said the three children have a slight fever and need to recover. They'll come back once they've recovered."
"However, His Majesty's side might be a little late. As you know, Xiyao has always been eyeing us covetously. General Xu has brought 100,000 troops this time, in addition to the 60,000 troops that were already there. His Majesty wants to eliminate the threat from Xiyao in one fell swoop!"
Hearing that the Emperor was going to war, Yunniang became worried again: "Is the Emperor going to attack Xiyao Kingdom? What about Xue'er..."
Now that the three children have been rescued, Yunniang knows that they will definitely be sent back once they are feeling better.
But Han Luoxue is a different story. Given that girl's personality, she'll probably go with the Emperor.
"Xue'er should be with the Emperor, Yunniang, don't worry. With the Emperor taking care of her and the two maids Yeying and Yeleng protecting her, Xue'er will be fine."
“I…” Yunniang also knew that Nightingale and Ye Leng were both very powerful bodyguards. The fact that the Emperor could equip Han Luoxue with such two capable people was enough to show how much he valued Han Luoxue.
However, as Han Luoxue's mother, she was still worried about her daughter, after all, her daughter was a weak woman who couldn't even kill a chicken.
If Ouyang Fu knew this, she would probably be so angry she'd vomit blood.
You're too weak to even kill a chicken? Do you have some misunderstanding about your daughter?
Your daughter's strength almost crippled me, you know that?
"I... alright! How are the three children's illnesses? Has Doctor Xu gone there yet?" Yunniang was still worried.
"They should be there by now." The old lady smiled. "Zhou Yuan is with him, and the two of them will be there soon. Yunniang, don't worry. The Emperor said that Xue'er left behind a special medicine, and the children's fevers subsided immediately after taking it!"
Yunniang was finally relieved to hear that all three children's fevers had subsided.
To put her mind at ease, we'll have to wait until all the children are back before making any decisions.
"Sigh, I can see you're living in fear outside. Why don't you stay here at the manor?"
Mrs. Sun suggested that, as a mother herself, she knew how her children felt when they were away from home.
"No need, I have two elderly people at home, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving them alone at home!"
Madam Sun thought about it and agreed. It wasn't good for Yunniang to be thinking like this all the time. She remembered the Silk Embroidery Pavilion. After Chi Hongcai sold it last time, the shop was still doing embroidery business. However, business wasn't very good, and she heard that the owner was even thinking of selling the shop.
It is said that they wanted to go back to their hometown and originally intended to make a fortune by using the name of the Silk Embroidery Pavilion.
What they didn't expect was that Chi Ling'er had already ruined the reputation of the Embroidery Pavilion.
Perhaps they can buy back the Silk Embroidery Pavilion, then Yunniang will have something to do.
However, this matter has not been accomplished yet, and she does not want to tell Yunniang for the time being.
After Yunniang left, Sun Shi spoke with the old lady.
"In my opinion, Yunniang's attitude towards Madam Chi and the others is quite good. Actually, it's understandable when you think about it. When Yunniang was little, Madam Chi and the others doted on her like the apple of their eye."
The old lady sighed. She remembered how, when Yunniang went missing, she was overwhelmed with emotion upon hearing the news, feeling that fate was cruel. How could such a clever and beautiful girl suddenly disappear? And now, several years have passed, and it's uncertain whether she will ever return alive.
At that time, I was just feeling sentimental, but now I never imagined that I would have such a connection with the Chi family.
"Just take over that shop! Give it to your in-laws, it'll be good for her to have something to do!"
"Although she was involved in Sister Zhen's shop, it wasn't hers after all."
"To be honest, Old Madam Chi is quite pitiful. The two children she raised with her own hands were both disappointing, including her granddaughter. In the end, the only one she could count on was her youngest daughter, whom she had been searching for for more than ten years."
So it seems that everyone has their own destiny.
"Yes, sometimes I feel quite surprised! I never thought I would have anything to do with the Chi family."
"However, even if we take over that shop, we'll have to renovate and tidy it up properly, which will cost a lot of money."
Although the General's Mansion is not short of money, its liquid funds are limited, and most of the time, their money is spent on the army.
After all, the military pay provided by the imperial court was limited.
"It's alright, just go to the accounting office and withdraw it!"
...
After Yunniang returned home, Old Madam Chi looked at her with concern: "Yunniang, is there any news about the children?"
Yunniang smiled faintly: "The old lady said that the person has been rescued and the child will be sent back in a while!"
The old lady's eyes lit up with joy: "That's a good thing!"
"Yunniang, you mustn't let the child go out alone in the future. Children really shouldn't be too far from their parents, just like..."
They thought of their youngest daughter, and when they first learned that she was missing, Madam Chi felt as if the sky had fallen.
Not only did she report it to the authorities, but she also sent out all the servants in her household, and even people from all walks of life to help her. At that time, she really didn't care about the cost.
Unfortunately, they haven't been able to find their child for over ten years.
It's easy to lose a child, but it's hard to find them again! Mrs. Chi deeply agrees.
Yunniang clenched her fists; now she understood a little better how Old Madam Chi felt.
When she learned about the accident involving her three children yesterday, she was constantly worried and couldn't fall asleep when she got back to bed last night.
She finally managed to close her eyes, and in her half-asleep state, she dreamt that three children were being tortured to the point of near death, covered in blood, and crying out for help!
Terrified, she immediately sat up, panting heavily. She wished she could fly to her child's side right now and save him.
