Chapter 30: Take collective leave to pick someone up!



"Shu'er has met Uncle Liu."

"Yanran has met Uncle Liu."

Sishu has met Uncle Liu.

Minister Liu was talking to his precious daughter when he was suddenly interrupted by three voices. He turned around and looked at the three people behind him.

He knew Mu Sishu and Song Yanran, and the remaining one should be Murong Shu, the youngest daughter of the Mu family who had just returned to Beijing and whom his wife and daughter talked about every day.

"This must be Shu'er, right? Glad you're back. When you have time, go to the mansion to play with your sister Ruyan." Minister Liu thought the little girl was dignified and cute, and looked more like Madam Mu.

"Thank you, Uncle Liu!"

"Good boy."

Then Wen Zhi, Wen Jing and General Mu came over to say hello. Minister Liu was a little confused. He had secretly taken half a day off to pick up his precious daughter. Why were Lord Wen and General Mu also here?

"Sir Wen, General Mu is also taking a day off today!" Minister Liu thought it couldn't be such a coincidence.

"My wife was not feeling well yesterday and stayed overnight at Huishan Temple, so I took half a day off today to pick up my wife and son." Wen Zhi originally came to pick up his wife and son, and he did not shy away from it.

"I've also asked for leave to pick up Shu'er." Because his wife has a good relationship with Minister Liu's wife, General Mu and Minister Liu also have a good relationship, so they speak more casually.

"It's all the same, it's all the same. Ruyan didn't go home yesterday, and I was worried, so I took some time off today to pick her up." Minister Liu felt that since everyone was here to pick someone up, there was nothing to be shy about.

"Dad, aren't you afraid of being punished by the emperor for skipping work like this?" Murong Shu was not curious, but if several important figures asked for leave like this, would the emperor really approve it?

The questions Murong Shu asked were also questions that Song Yanran and Liu Ruyan were concerned about, and they also looked at them expectantly.

Feeling a little guilty about being looked at by his own daughter, Minister Liu touched his nose and said with a smile, "No, we have all asked for leave." Anyone with a discerning eye could tell from his guilty expression that it was not what he said.

"Uncle Emperor won't hit Dad, otherwise aunt will cry." Wen Yu's words made everyone laugh.

Song Yanran deliberately teased Xiaotuanzi, "How do you know that the emperor won't beat you? What if the emperor beats your father secretly?"

"No way, I just know that uncle emperor is a gentleman. How can a gentleman go back on his word?" When little Dumpling heard Song Yanran questioning him, he immediately spoke up for uncle emperor.

"In order to protect your uncle the Emperor, you even dared to say that your aunt was a crybaby. Let's see if your aunt will beat you up if she finds out." Madam Wen pointed at her son's forehead and joked.

"No, no, my aunt loves Yu'er the most." In Wen Yu's heart, his aunt loves him the most.

“Dad, tell Uncle Emperor not to blame General Mu and Lord Liu, otherwise the beautiful sisters will be unhappy.”

After saying this, Little Tuanzi went to pull his father Wen Zhi's sleeve again. He liked these sisters very much and didn't want their father to be punished or they would be unhappy.

"Okay, when we get to the palace, Daddy will tell your uncle, the emperor, okay? You, mother, and third uncle will go back to the mansion first, and Daddy will go on duty, okay?"

Wen Zhi first agreed to Xiaotuanzi's request, then squatted down to discuss things with Xiaotuanzi. He really loved Wen Yu.

"Don't worry, Daddy. Yu'er is an adult now and will take good care of Mom and Uncle San. Daddy, go on duty without worry. But can you buy Yu'er a candied haws when you're off duty?"

"Of course, our Yu'er is so well-behaved!" Seeing Wen Zhi agreed to her, the little girl became even happier.

After coming down the mountain, they took a carriage and quickly entered the city. They said goodbye at the city gate. General Mu, Wen Zhi, and Minister Liu went to work together.

Murong Shu invited Liu Ruyan and Song Yanran to the shogunate. The melon-eating duo missed the melon-eating this morning, so they accepted Murong Shu's invitation directly. They can go home later, but they can't miss the melon of their good sisters.

Little Tuanzi was very reluctant to leave, but her mother said that her grandmother and second aunt were waiting for her at home, so little Tuanzi reluctantly got on the carriage back home with her mother.

Even after getting on the carriage, the little boy was still unhappy. Madam Wen saw that her little boy was unhappy, so she hugged him and coaxed him, "Don't be unhappy. Mother will write a message when she gets home. If you are free, mother will take you to the general's mansion to see you tomorrow, okay?"

"Really? Mother can't lie to Yuer!" The originally depressed little girl instantly became happy when she heard that she could go to the general's mansion to find her beautiful sister.

"You, when has your mother ever lied to you? But we have to write the post first. We can go only when your sister is free, okay?" Madam Wen was not sure whether Madam Mu and Murong Shu were free tomorrow. She was afraid that her son would be happy for nothing, so she made it clear to Wen Yu in advance.

"Yu'er knows. Mother, let's write a note to sister when we return home. We can also bring Third Uncle with us to thank sister for saving mother."

"Then go back home and ask your uncle if he has time."

Although Madam Wen was sure that her third brother definitely had time, she still let her son handle the matter himself, and at the same time taught him something.

"Uncle San loves Yu'er so much, he will definitely be willing to go with her." Little Tuanzi was very confident.

Madam Mu wanted to laugh when she saw her son's appearance. Her third brother had a very good relationship with Little Tuanzi, but this time he went to the Mu Mansion, probably not because of Yu'er, but because his third brother wanted to go himself.

She saw it clearly on the chair today. The third brother would peek at Miss Mu from time to time. Did her third brother finally get it? As the eldest sister-in-law, she was really happy for him.

When they returned to the Wen Mansion, the old lady and Mrs. Wen had already sent people to wait at the gate. The old lady loved her eldest grandson very much.

Lunch was placed in the old lady's yard. Because Wen Yu was trying to make the old lady happy, she ate half a bowl of lunch extra.

After lunch, little Tuanzi urged her mother to write a note to her beautiful sister. Madam Wen told her mother-in-law that she wanted to visit the Mu Mansion.

The old lady agreed very much. Miss Mu was the person her third son was looking for, and also the person the Wen family was looking for, so it was necessary to visit her more often.

"Miss Mu saved you yesterday, and Master Mu also helped find Yu'er. It's only natural that you come to thank them. You should prepare some valuable things and take Yu'er and the second wife with you tomorrow. Go to the warehouse to get whatever is missing."

"I know, mother!"

"Sister-in-law, I have just finished taking the medicine that Miss Mu prescribed for me. I will go to the Mu Mansion with you starting tomorrow. I also want to prepare some things for Miss Mu."

The Second Lady felt that Murong Shu had treated her but she had never had the chance to repay him. Tomorrow she would finally have the chance, so she must prepare more.

After saying hello to their mother-in-law, the two sisters-in-law went back to prepare things. The eldest lady hurriedly wrote a note and sent it to the general's mansion.
