Lin Zao nodded. They were indeed quite tired from the journey. She stepped forward and took over from Aunt Ren, personally pushing Tang's mother inside.
Aunt Ren smiled and made way for Lin Zao before walking over to Ya Ya and taking her hand.
Having not seen her for so long, she also missed the young lady a little.
The group walked happily into the house.
Lin Zao first arranged for someone to take the children downstairs to wash up, while she herself followed Tang's mother into the house to talk.
They told Tang's mother everything about their encounters with Chen Wen and Ma Qingping, as well as what happened in Yaozhou.
After hearing about what Lin Zao and his companions had gone through on their journey, Tang's mother sighed:
"It's true that justice prevails and retribution is inevitable. Evil people will be punished by evil people. From now on, just pretend those people don't exist. Don't be sad, you still have us, your family, to support you."
Lin Zao chuckled, "Thank you, Mother. I don't feel unwell at all. Besides, I have you all, that's enough for me!"
Tang's mother was relieved to see that Lin Zao was not pretending to be strong.
She then thought of Chen Wen and Ma Qingping, "These two children have also had a hard life. You must teach them well in the future and prevent them from going astray."
"Don't worry, Mother. Now that my husband and I have adopted them, we will definitely treat them well."
"Alright, everything's settled here, you should go and get some rest too."
Seeing that Tang's mother had nothing more to ask, Lin Zao left and returned to her own courtyard.
When they returned to the general's mansion, it was 9-11 am. By the time Lin Zao and the children finished washing up and took a nap, it was already late noon.
Lunch had been prepared long ago, and they were just waiting for Lin Zao and the children to get up and eat.
Tang Jian had already returned from the Prince's residence by this time.
Seeing that Tang Jian's expression was somewhat solemn, Lin Zao guessed that the matter might be serious, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
After the family finished their meal quietly, Tiger Head and Ya Ya wanted to take their older brothers and sisters to the animal park to see Black Wind and Gale.
It's been so long since we last saw them, the two wolf cubs must have grown quite a bit.
With Tian Bu'er accompanying the children, Lin Zao did not go with them.
She looked at Tang Jian with some worry, "Husband, what did the Prince say?"
Tang's mother, who was standing nearby, also sensed that something was wrong, so she didn't leave and looked at her son with a puzzled expression.
Tang Jian frowned, looking worried, as if he found it difficult to speak.
Upon seeing this, Tang's mother immediately became uneasy: "What happened? Jian'er, don't scare your mother!"
Seeing his mother's fright, Tang Jian quickly said, "No, Mother, don't worry. It's just that war is about to break out on the border, and I need to lead troops to fight. I might have to leave for a while..."
He felt guilty. He had only spent a few months with his family before he had to leave, leaving his sick mother and young child to be cared for by his wife alone.
As a husband, he felt very sorry for Lin Zao, so he didn't know how to explain it to her.
However, he had no choice but to leave. As the General of Anbei, he had the mission to protect the people of Ganzhou. He wanted to climb higher so that he would be better able to protect his family.
But this would mean Lin Zao would have to suffer.
When Tang's mother heard that her son was leaving to fight again, tears immediately streamed down her face.
She recalled the moment her son left five years ago, and she feared that he might be gone for several more years...
Compared to Tang's mother, Lin Zao's reaction was relatively good, although she was also very reluctant to see Tang Jian leave.
However, she also knew that Tang Jian, as a general, would leave whenever there was a war.
This is something she has to go through.
