Chapter 345 Lady Wu is going to become a queen.
When Madam Wu heard Du Wanchun say that Wei Xun was going to take her and her son home, her face showed little joy, but rather a hint of worry.
Du Wanchun asked her, "What's wrong, Sister Wu?"
Madam Wu turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief. "It's nothing, I'm just a little reluctant to leave you all. If I go to the Northern Barbarians, I don't know when I'll be able to come back."
Du Wanchun put down her teacup, stood up and came to her side. "Sister Wu, don't worry, we will definitely have a chance to meet again in the future."
After hearing this, Madam Wu's expression improved considerably. She knew that there was a very high chance that what Du Wanchun said would come true.
Nan Fengling came in from inside the house and said with a smile, "Sister Wu, don't worry. Brother Wei will probably be busy for a while longer. We can still live together for another year and a half."
“That’s true.” Madam Wu smiled.
Just then, Xiao Mianmian's voice suddenly rang out from the courtyard, "Mother, Mother!"
Du Wanchun looked outside upon hearing the sound and saw that Xiao Mianmian had climbed up the tree at some point.
Her daughter is even more active than her two sons. Now that she can run and walk, she climbs trees and walls. If she gets a little older, she'll probably be able to fly.
Du Wanchun hadn't seen her daughter for a long time and missed her dearly. She got up and went into the courtyard, reached out her hand to her, and said, "Mianmian, be careful."
Little Mianmian continued climbing the tree, then reached out and grabbed a green jujube.
"Mother, Guoguo! Guoguo!"
She picked the green dates and waved them at Du Wanchun.
Winter has just passed, and the jujubes are just ripening, not yet fully ripe.
Du Wanchun said with a smile, "Strange, Mother has seen Guoguo. You come down first."
"Okay, Mother." Little Mianmian gripped the green dates in her hand tightly, lowered her head, and crawled down.
As she crawled, almost reaching the ground, the green dates in her hand accidentally fell. "Mother!"
In her attempt to catch the fruit, Xiao Mianmian let go of the tree trunk and fell to her death.
Just as Du Wanchun was about to reach out to catch it, a tall figure suddenly appeared behind her and took Xiao Mianmian in his arms.
Little Mianmian recognized the person and called out with a smile, "Daddy!"
Du Wanchun turned around and saw that Zhou Ruiyuan had taken Xiao Mianmian in his arms.
She has been back from Yangcheng for more than half a month, and Zhou Ruiyuan and Zhou Zhao have been guarding the border of Xuan Yue Kingdom for the past half month.
Zhou Ruiyuan reached out and gently stroked Xiao Mianmian's nose, saying softly, "Don't be so naughty next time, or you might fall and break your nose."
Little Mianmian threw herself into her father's arms, "Daddy, with Mommy here, I won't break my nose."
Although she said that, she still reached out and touched her nose, then buried her face in Zhou Ruiyuan's arms in fear.
Zhou Ruiyuan gently stroked the back of her head and reached out to take Du Wanchun's hand, "How was your journey to Yangcheng, my wife?"
His hands were large and warm, and they trembled slightly as he held Du Wanchun's hand, perhaps because of his longing for her.
Du Wanchun gently squeezed his hand, her eyes crinkling with a smile, and said, "Everything went smoothly."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked at her gently and took her hand as they slowly walked into the house.
Madam Wu quickly tidied up the table, then went into the room with a smile to tell Aunt Zhou, "Master Zhou is back."
Aunt Zhou and Han Yan'er were taking care of the injured Zhou Feng inside the house when they heard the sound and walked towards the front yard. "Ruiyuan, you're back."
Zhou Ruiyuan put down the little cotton doll he was holding. "Where's my second brother? How is he?"
Aunt Zhou said with a smile, "Your second brother's injuries have almost healed, but he just fell asleep."
Zhou Ruiyuan looked up and glanced inside, then replied, "Alright, I won't disturb his rest."
Aunt Zhou walked to his side, closed the door, and asked him, "How is the situation with the Northern Barbarians?"
Du Wanchun picked up Xiao Mianmian and Wu Niangzi and looked at Zhou Ruiyuan.
Zhou Ruiyuan took a sip of tea and smiled. "Wei Xun successfully rescued his mother. As a result, the old king of the Northern Di Kingdom fell ill and never recovered. Some people in the court wanted to rebel, but General An suppressed the crowd and helped Wei Xun quell the unrest. Now he is the new king of the Northern Di Kingdom."
Madam Wu looked surprised and said, "He succeeded in just over half a month?"
Zhou Ruiyuan said slowly, "I have to thank Wanchun for this."
"Wan Chun?" Madam Wu and Aunt Zhou were both surprised.
Du Wanchun held Mianmian in her arms and met Zhou Ruiyuan's gaze.
Zhou Ruiyuan continued, "Yes, Wan Chun saved General An's only daughter and also made him see the true face of the old king. General An was grateful and, with her recommendation, assisted Wei Xun. With his help, things naturally became much easier."
Madam Wu quickly turned her head to look at Du Wanchun, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Du Wanchun laughed and said, "I just happened to save General An's daughter. It was Wei Xun's own good luck."
Madam Wu stood up and bowed to Du Wanchun, saying, "Wanchun, you have been kind to our family, and we will always remember it."
