When Lizhu heard the news, she was stunned for a moment, but she quickly adjusted herself.

"I understand. I will take good care of the Fourth Madam!"

After instructing Lizhu, Du Jingyi chatted with Fourth Aunt for a while, and then she asked.

"Where are Tai'er's brothers? I want to see them. I haven't seen them for a while. I miss them so much even before I leave."

"We went to the garden to play. Maybe General Mu was the one who took care of the children, so they followed him around every day, especially Brother Tai, who was particularly close to him."

Hearing this, Fourth Aunt had something more to say.

"Since Brother Tai likes it, why don't you stay in the mansion and be Brother Tai's personal bodyguard."

Seeing this, Du Jingyi waved his hand and then said.

"With General Mu's abilities, it would be a waste of his talent to only serve as Tai Ge'er's bodyguard. The general also said that when General Mu matures, he will be promoted and given a more important position. So he has only been recuperating in the mansion these days and getting closer to the children."

"I see. Then let's wait and see. After all, Tai Ge is still young, so we need to carefully look for this personal assistant."

"That's what I meant."

The two talked for a while, and then Fourth Aunt left for the garden. She couldn't bear to leave without seeing the children.

There are always various things to deal with before parting.

Du Jingyi had just seen off his fourth aunt, and a few days later, Gu Xiaolang and his third aunt also came over.

Although they are married now, Yan Sanlang has basically settled down in the army and will not come back once his leave is over, so Gu Xiaolang moved back to her parents' home, and life is no different from before.

"Third aunt, sister Lang."

"Sister-in-law."

After Yingtao served tea to the three of them, she stepped aside and stood there. Instead, Gu Xiaolang spoke first.

"The tea in my sister-in-law's room must be especially delicious. When you return to Sui'an City, I don't know where to drink such tea."

"That's easy. I'll save some for you. Tell Cherry what you like to drink and she'll pick it for you and send it to you."

"The tea is good, and the skill of the tea maker is even better. Any tea that has been touched by Cherry will taste extra smooth. I can't let my sister-in-law keep Cherry, right?"

Upon hearing this, Du Jingyi pretended to sigh.

"Look, this married girl is different. She spends all day trying to steal the good things from her parents' home, and even spares the maidservant beside me. Zizi, why don't you say something to her, Third Aunt?"

Only close people would make such jokes, so Third Aunt and Gu Xiaolang also heard Du Jingyi's intentions and continued her words.

"She came to you to ask for a cup of tea, but she has taken away so many good things from me. Last time, she said that my son-in-law was very tired from training all day, so she even took away a piece of good material I just got, saying that she wanted to make clothes for him. I was complaining bitterly."

Hearing this, Gu Xiaolang did not feel embarrassed, but instead said with a smile.

"My mother and sister-in-law love me so much, don't I feel safe and secure?"

With just one sentence, everyone present burst into laughter. Du Jingyi knew that she must have something to say, so he took this opportunity to continue asking.

"Tell me, what did you fancy this time?"

Gu Xiaolang was not polite and spoke directly.

"I've taken a look at my sister-in-law's return boat. My mother-in-law, my eldest sister-in-law, and my fourth brother are also going north. They are traveling by land this time, so it will take at least a month to get back. But I thought if it's convenient for my sister-in-law to take them with us, we can get there in about ten days."

"But it's okay if it's inconvenient. I originally wanted to ask you first and then tell you, so I didn't mention it to them."

When Du Jingyi heard this, he actually didn't object.

The Su family's ship is so big and spacious, it's just a matter of taking a few more people with them. Besides, they will be safer with protection along the way, so she didn't feel surprised when Gu Xiaolang said this.

After thinking for a moment, he said.

"Okay, we'll set off in seven days. You can take them out for a good stroll these days. We'll set off at the end of the month, and we'll probably reach Sui'an City in mid-March, so it won't delay anything."

Gu Xiaolang smiled brightly upon seeing this, and took Du Jingyi's hand to thank him.

After finishing the important matters, they naturally sat down and left. After they left, Du Jingyi instructed Yingtao.

"Go tell the Su family's steward to arrange two more rooms."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Yes, ma'am."

Du Jingyi was also happy to be on good terms with the Earl's Mansion.

Although there had been some friction between them and the Earl's Mansion because of Gu Xiaolang's affairs in the past, now that the marriage was settled, they had to become better friends so that they could help each other in the future.

If there is any selfish motive, it is that Du Jingyi has taken a fancy to the maiden family of the Minister's wife. He heard that her niece is a good one. Ping'er's marriage has not been settled yet. If he can find the Li family to help him, then the Duke's Mansion will be able to survive in the future.

However, these were still vague things, so she couldn't just say anything. Otherwise, if she asked her sister-in-law to get something for her, and it didn't work out in the end, she would be extremely disappointed.

Seven days passed in a flash, and the dock of Jinling City was filled with people seeing them off.

The luggage was loaded onto the ship two days ago. There were only a dozen boxes when they came, but when they left, there were dozens or even hundreds of boxes. There were really more children, more things, and more people to serve them.

The people in the Earl's Mansion had enough stuff, even though they had four or five more boxes, but compared to Du Jingyi and the others' luggage, it was nothing.

The Gu family, the Su family, and the Xing family were all there, and they all had red eyes. They didn't know when they would see each other again. Unlike them, Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi's home was in Sui'an City after all.

Therefore, they knew in their hearts that they would be together less and more apart in the future.

"You must be careful. You are raising four children by yourself and you have to manage such a large family. I can imagine that it is very tiring, so take good care of yourself. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, auntie. Don't you know what kind of person I am? I am lazy, but I will never treat myself badly. I am still waiting to come and congratulate you on your sixtieth birthday, right?"

The eldest aunt is the oldest, now in her fifties. Her sixtieth birthday is only a few years away. With such an expectation, everyone naturally feels more relieved.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'd like to see what these little monkeys look like one by one."

After sending you thousands of miles away, we must eventually say goodbye.

After boarding the Su family's boat, Du Jingyi and the others stood at the bow and waved to the people on the shore, bidding farewell to their relatives in Jinling City. They had to go north after all. (End of this chapter)
