"Why is there such a strange occurrence in Yao County?" Yun Qingran frowned.
The remote prefecture is located on the frontier and is usually under strict control, even more peaceful than the capital. How could such an anomaly have occurred?
"I don't know. The prince sent dozens of secret guards to investigate, but only a dozen or so returned. The rest were all killed," Pei Chen said.
These matters were originally confidential and could not be told to outsiders, but in Pei Chen's eyes, Yun Qingran was not an outsider; she was the future Princess Consort of Beihan, one of his own.
"In that case, the situation is quite serious." Unusual activity in the border region is a very serious matter; who knows if it's a neighboring country causing trouble.
"I'm going to see the Prince now. Miss Yun, would you like to come along?" Pei Chen asked.
"No, I'll go find Yan Yan and An An and give them the gifts." Yun Qingran waved her hand.
I originally wanted to talk to Jun Molin about the Heavenly Demon Sect, but he's busy right now, so I'll forget about it and talk to him about it later.
"Well then, Miss Yun, please take care." Pei Chen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Yun Qingran.
After Yun Qingran and Pei Chen parted ways, Yun Qingran went to Jun Yanyan and Jun An'an's courtyard, where the siblings were playing chess.
"Sister, you lost," Jun An'an said, looking at the chessboard.
"Ah, I lost! No, no, I made a mistake." Jun Yanyan quickly picked up her black piece.
Jun An'an shook her head helplessly, her helplessness tinged with a hint of doting affection.
She's my own sister, so I guess I can only spoil her!
Yun Qingran saw this scene as soon as she entered, and chuckled to herself. An'an, this cool guy, may seem aloof on the surface, but he actually knows how to please girls. Who knows how many unwanted suitors he'll have in the future.
"Yan Yan, An An."
Upon hearing Yun Qingran's voice, Jun Yanyan and Jun An'an immediately turned around and ran towards her.
"Run slowly, be careful not to fall." Yun Qingran put down the gifts, hugged the two children who ran into her arms, and then kept kissing them.
So soft and delicious!
She kissed the two children until they giggled, and only let them go after she had kissed them enough.
"Yan Yan, An An, these are the toys and treats I bought for you. Do you like them?" Yun Qingran handed the gifts to the two siblings.
The two children took the gift and opened it. Inside were some trendy toys and pastries. They said happily, "Thank you, Mommy."
"Don't be shy." Yun Qingran patted their heads, then played with them and ate pastries.
After eating her fill of pastries and playing with her toys, Yun Qingran decided that she would fulfill her duty as a mother and teach her two children some practical knowledge.
"I'll give you a math problem. Let's see who can solve it first," Yun Qingran said to her two children.
“Arithmetic problems!” Jun Yan Yan looked utterly hopeless; she hated arithmetic problems the most.
"Mother, hurry up and go!" Jun An'an said, her face full of eagerness.
"What is 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9?" This arithmetic problem is very simple for adults, but it is too difficult for a three-and-a-half-year-old child.
“It equals 45,” Jun An’an answered after a moment’s thought.
"An'an, how did you figure it out so quickly?" Yun Qingran looked at him in shock.
“It’s very simple. 1+9=10, 2+8=10, 3+7=10, 4+6=10, a total of 40. Add the 5 in the middle to 40, and it equals 45,” Jun An’an said slowly.
"An'an, you're simply a little genius." Yun Qingran looked at Jun An'an with pride. He's only three and a half years old, yet he can think of all this. It's truly amazing!
My genes are amazing!
After playing with the two children until evening, Yun Qingran had to go home. Her relationship with Jun Molin was currently illegitimate, and she couldn't stay overnight at his house; otherwise, she would be ridiculed. She didn't care about herself, but she couldn't let her father and brothers suffer the same fate.
"Mother, are you leaving?" Jun Yanyan asked, reluctantly tugging at Yun Qingran's sleeve.
Seeing how reluctant the two children were to part with her, Yun Qingran felt reluctant to leave them herself, so she said, "Why don't you come with me to the Marquis of Zhen'an's residence? Your great-grandmother is bored, so she can take you with her."
"Okay." The siblings happily agreed in unison. Yun Qingran asked a maid to inform Jun Molin in advance, and then took Yan Yan and An An back to the Zhen'an Marquis's residence.
Zhao Shi, Yunxiao, and Yun Qingbi were all very happy to see the two children.
"My two little darlings, your great-grandmother has missed you so much." Zhao hugged the two children tightly.
"Grandmother, Jun Molin has been very busy these past few days and hasn't had time to take care of the children. I also have things to do and haven't had time to spend with them. Could you help us take care of them for the next few days?" Yun Qingran asked, clinging to Zhao Shi's arm affectionately.
"Of course, I can take care of her for months or even years, let me do it, not just a few days." Zhao agreed happily.
Unlike the countryside, the capital city had no fields to cultivate and no like-minded old friends. She was incredibly bored every day, practically rotting away.
If she takes care of the kids, she'll have something to do and won't be bored. Besides, she really loves her two great-granddaughters and great-grandson.
"Thank you, Grandmother. Here are their toiletries and a few sets of clothes." Yun Qingran handed the two small bundles to Zhao Shi.
"Ranran, don't worry, Grandma will definitely help you raise your two children to be healthy and chubby." Zhao Shi took the two small bundles and was overjoyed to see the two adorable children.
It's so great to have someone help take care of the kids!
Yun Qingran happily returned to her room, washed up, and continued to recite the Analects and 300 Tang and Song poems from memory.
If all goes well, I should be able to finish the dictation tonight and give it to the teacher tomorrow.
Yun Qingran kept writing from memory until late at night. Finally, she finished writing everything. She bound the finished paper together, then lay down in a large position, wrapped herself in the quilt, and went to sleep.
Since coming into this world, she has no phone to play with at night, so she almost falls asleep as soon as she lies down in bed.
In the stillness of the night, Yun Qingran drifted off to sleep, dreaming of her grandfather, parents, uncle, aunt, cousins, and her third uncle.
They sat together, talking about martial arts, politics, and medicine, enjoying a happy family time.
Most importantly, the steaming hot food on the table is all my favorite dishes. Waaaaah...
I want to go home, I want to eat delicious food! [crying]
Just as she was crying her heart out in her dream, she suddenly felt herself being pulled into someone's arms, and a strong hand was gently patting her back.
"Jun Molin!" Yun Qingran opened her eyes groggily and saw that she was indeed being held in a man's arms.
Who else could this man be but Jun Molin?
"Mmm." The reply, though only one word, was as gentle as water.
At this moment, Jun Molin was both indomitable and tender.
"What are you doing here so late?" Yun Qingran asked him.
"I missed you, so I came to see you," Jun Molin said gently, holding Yun Qingran in his arms.
