However, Xia Meng declined the offer, with the only request being that her identity not be exposed. Therefore, naturally everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion agreed.

The General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion must be able to protect someone if they want to. So even though Xia Meng has been in Sui'an City for so long, people outside don't know that such a big shot as her lives in the General's Mansion.

I thought it was just a distant relative coming to seek refuge.

After soaking for two quarters of an hour, Du Jingyi finally felt a little more comfortable. She got up from the bed, wiped her body and applied lotion. After a long while, she was finally done. When she left the ear room and returned to the main room, she saw her husband waiting there.

"Sleep for a while?"

"Um."

Both of them were extremely tired, so after washing up, they didn't want to eat anything and just wanted to lie down and sleep. Therefore, it didn't take long before they fell asleep in each other's arms.

This sleep was a comfortable one.

When Du Jingyi turned over and woke up, it was dark outside.

"What time is it?"

"It's Mao time."

"Huh? We slept for so long?"

Du Jingyi's slight surprise was amusing to Gu Shaoyu, so he tapped her nose and said.

"No, it's just that Madam slept for so long that I woke up an hour earlier than you."

"Then why didn't the general ask me to get up?"

"Why are you waking me up? Have you forgotten that we are in mourning now and have plenty of time. It's rare to see you sleeping so soundly, so I won't wake you up."

Du Jingyi thought about it and then sat up and asked.

"After three years of mourning, what plans do you have, General?"

"As for a proper rest, we should get enough sleep first. It's a pity that the children can't go to the camp, so I plan to expand the martial arts training ground to give the children a place to go and lay a solid foundation."

"General, do you plan to teach me personally?"

"What else? Let Xing Zhao come?"

When it comes to martial arts skills, Gu Shaoyu is naturally better than Xing Zhao, but Xing Zhao has his own advantages. The child will probably learn faster if he follows him. If he only follows Gu Shaoyu, he will probably become tired after suffering for half a month, let alone three whole years.

Gu Shaoyu saw Du Jingyi's worry, so he said with a bit of amusement.

"Madam, your husband is a general with outstanding military achievements, not a man-eating demon. You don't have to look like that. Don't worry, I can take care of all those people in the barracks, let alone four little kids."

Du Jingyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"General, you misunderstood. I was just worried that you would overtrain the children. As the saying goes, there is a balance between tension and relaxation."

If we take it to the military camp and have other people participate, maybe it will be better.

But practicing one-on-four in the backyard might make the children too tired, so Du Jingyi gave such a reminder.

But Gu Shaoyu thought of something else and nodded and said.

"Madam, what you said makes sense. I will go find a good teacher and teach Brother Tai first."

"Ah? Is that what I mean?"

"Isn't it?"

Now, Du Jingyi didn't know how to answer.

Outside the room, the sound of the two of them talking was heard, and the maid Cherry then spoke.

"General, is my lady going to get up?"

After being interrupted by her, Du Jingyi didn't bother about it anymore. He had to go to class anyway, so he could talk about it when he really came.

"Get up, come in."

Upon hearing the order, Yingtao and Shuxiu came in, one looking for clothes and the other bringing warm water, which were habits that Du Jingyi had developed over a long period of time.

Gu Shaoyu was quick and quickly put on his clothes, but Du Jingyi had a little more trouble. As for their current situation, they couldn't wear their old clothes, so they wore the ones that were made for them when they were in mourning for Old Madam Gu.

Back then it was one year, now it is three years, so this amount of clothes is definitely not enough.

Therefore, the first thing Du Jingyi did when he came back was to ask Lu Ju to make clothes for the whole family. Each person would need at least 20 to 30 sets of clothes, to be changed in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Both adults and children had to be prepared.

Cherry said as she helped Du Jingyi get dressed.

"Lu Ju sent a message saying that the clothes will be delivered in two days. Madam, please wear these old clothes first."

As soon as she finished speaking, Du Jingyi teased her.

"Cherry, next time, save these words for when you're alone with me, or else if the general hears, he'll think I'm such a waste."

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

"Yes, ma'am."

Gu Shaoyu turned around and looked at her, his eyes full of smiles.

But because there were two maids around, she didn't say much.

"Come on, ma'am, go see the children."

"OK."

After the couple left Xitang Courtyard, they went straight to the yard where the children were. During this period, they either lived in the Duke's Mansion or went out early and came back late, so they rarely saw their children.

Now that I have some free time, of course I want to go and take a look.

As soon as they entered the door, four children were playing with toys. They were eighteen kinds of wooden weapons that their fourth aunt had made for them. The brothers liked them very much, so they often danced with them in their hands.

Mr. Du and Mrs. Du were sitting next to them. They looked at their four grandchildren with such fondness that they even had more smile lines at the corners of their eyes. Then they glanced sideways and saw their daughter and son-in-law come in. They spoke to the children with a look of satisfaction.

"Hey, look who's here?"

Tai Ge'er, who heard these words first, turned around and saw the couple. His eyes lit up immediately. He put down the wooden sword in his hand, and trotted over and said with a smile.

"It's the father, it's the mother!"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the three brothers reacted and immediately gathered around, calling for help with a smile. Gu Shaoyu and Du Jingyi held two children each and couldn't help but rub their heads against the children's necks, their longing for each other was evident in words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Du came over and said.

"Okay, go sit over there. Your legs are getting tired from squatting."

"Not tired. I haven't seen the children for several days. Every time I come back, they are asleep."

When Du Jingyi said this, she felt a little guilty and apologetic. Children of this age want their parents' care and love the most, but they haven't been able to spend much time with them this month.

So, one kiss on the left, one kiss on the right, it still felt like it was not enough.

Mrs. Du felt that this was a bit too much, so she pulled her daughter's hand and said.

"That's enough. If you keep kissing, the child will dislike you. Go sit down. Have you eaten? You fell asleep as soon as you came back, so I can't ask you."

The series of questions made Du Jingyi a little breathless, and then he smiled and spoke.

"Mother is still talking about her daughter. Aren't you always concerned about her?"
