Since Xie Huai left Xie Mansion early in the morning, he rarely came back, and even if he did, it was already late at night.
Ning Yu had already fallen into a half-sleep and could vaguely feel the man's warm hand on her waist.
When she woke up, Xie Huai had already left.
The bedding was cold too.
Ning Yu knew that the only thing she could do was to take good care of her three children and manage the Xie Mansion with her mother-in-law.
Don't cause trouble for Xie Huai.
The storm is coming, and the sky is dark and gloomy.
People outside seemed to have heard the news as well. Very few people went out, and all the shops, big and small, were closed.
The Xie Mansion was already heavily guarded.
Ning Yu sat on the couch and looked at the three little kids sitting on the ground, which was already covered with a wool mat and was soft.
Xie Huai specially asked someone to change it so that the little kids wouldn't get hurt even if they fell.
The eldest and the second oldest gathered together, sat on the ground, and played with the KitKat toys that Xie Huai had bought overseas.
On the contrary, the third brother was indifferent, pursing his lips and playing with his tiger doll by himself.
From this perspective, the third brother seems like the eldest brother.
Ning Yu frowned slightly. Ever since the third brother no longer had to go to the palace, he had been sticking with her and rarely played with the eldest and second brothers.
Thinking back to the time when the third brother would go to the palace during the day and when he came back it was almost dark, and the eldest and second brothers had already gone to bed.
The same is true for the third brother.
There is no chance of contact at all.
She might as well take this opportunity to let the third brother communicate with the other two brothers.
Ning Yu waved to the third brother.
The third child saw it, and his originally tense face suddenly smiled. He walked steadily towards Ning Yu, threw himself on her, and obediently called out, "Mom."
Ning Yu picked up the third child and asked gently, "Xiaobao, why don't you play with your two brothers?"
Although the third child is still young, his thinking is very clear. "Mom, do you want Xiaobao to play with the eldest and second brothers?"
Ning Yu nodded gently, "You are brothers, so naturally I hope that you have a good relationship."
Although the third child might not understand what she said, she still said it.
The third brother seemed to understand, twisted his butt, got off Ning Yu, and walked to the eldest and second brothers.
The eldest and the second oldest blinked their eyes and moved aside, leaving a space for the third oldest.
Before long, the three little kids were playing together, and from time to time they could hear the clear laughter of children.
At this time, Butler Liu hurried in and said, "Madam, the Marquis of Huaiping has led his troops to attack the capital. Come with me quickly. The princess has already gone..."
Ning Yu quickly asked a few strong maids to pick up the children and followed the steps of Butler Liu.
The three little kids seemed to realize something. They kept their mouths tightly shut, not crying or making a fuss, and were very well-behaved.
Butler Liu took people to a small Buddhist temple where only a few candles were lit.
The eldest princess had already knelt on the cushion, with her eyelids slightly lowered, and kept muttering something.
The princess heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes. Seeing the figures of Ning Yu and others, she slowly said, "The only thing we can do now is to guard the Xie Mansion..."
Ning Yu pursed her lips and did not ask Xie Huai.
Because the Xie family had made preparations in advance and had enough food, the children were also very well-behaved and hardly cried or made a fuss, and did not need anyone to coax them at night.
Ning Yu was also glad that the children had been weaned long ago, otherwise it would have been a headache.
The next night.
Suddenly, the sound of swords clashing was heard outside the mansion, shaking the earth. Roaring sounds were heard from time to time, waking everyone up.
Ning Yu held the children close to her.
The eldest princess had stood up at some point, holding a sword, her eyes sharp and fierce, and she was extremely calm.
"Xiaoyu, you stay here with the child. No matter what happens outside, you cannot go out."
Ning Yu bit her lip, feeling somewhat resentful of herself for being so powerless.
But all she could do was obey orders.
At some point, the noise in the distance gradually subsided, and the sky gradually brightened, revealing a hint of dawn.
But Ning Yu and the others still didn't dare to go out.
Ning Yu kept staring at the door, his eyes were dark, but he didn't look tired at all.
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.
As the footsteps got closer, everyone in the small Buddhist temple was almost nervous and holding sharp blades in their hands.
With a creaking sound.
Xie Huai walked in with a bloody smell. There was a trace of blood on his handsome face and his hair was disheveled, but he still looked elegant.
Ning Yu saw Xie Huai coming back, and her eyes reddened slightly. "Xie Huai, you're finally back. Are you okay?"
Xie Huai rarely saw Ning Yu so worried about him. He felt warm in his heart and curled his lips. "It's okay. Ping Huaihou and others have been taken to prison. The capital is safe..."
Xie Huai also looked at the eldest princess and the children, and was relieved to see that they were all fine.
Ning Yu was about to say something when she suddenly felt dizzy.
He fell down without any warning.
