"My lord, this man has been loitering outside our manor for several days."
In the front courtyard of the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence, Yunmo was brought before Jiang He with his hands tied behind his back.
Jiang He coldly sized up Yun Mo, making Yun Mo quite uncomfortable. "Young Master Yun, is that it? Why have you been lurking around outside my Dingyuan Marquis's residence? What are you planning?"
"No... I'm not..."
Yunmo blushed, but didn't know how to explain to Jiang He.
"May I see...see the princess?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang He's already dark complexion darkened even further. "What do you want with the princess? Young Master Yun, I suppose you know that the relationship between your Yun family and my Jiang family is not exactly friendly."
“Yaoyao is only four years old this year, and I do not want any people with ulterior motives to appear by her side.”
"I am not the young master of the Yun family."
Yunmo shook his head anxiously. After he was brought to the capital of Dayu, everyone seemed to have forgotten about him. They only took him to a house and then did not contact him again.
He had nowhere else to go but to come to the Marquis of Dingyuan's residence.
"Yunmo?"
Bai Qian's voice rang out, and Jiang He immediately stood up. "Are you returning to the manor earlier than usual today?"
"I heard that a distinguished guest was visiting, so I returned from the military camp." Bai Qian smiled, then instructed the servant beside her, "Go and call the princess here."
"lady?"
Jiang He glanced at Bai Qian with some surprise, suppressing the urge to punch Yun Mo twice.
A moment later, Jiang Yao came running to the front yard like a gust of wind, "Brother Yunmo?"
"Princess."
Yunmo smiled sincerely, "We meet again."
"Brother Yunmo, Yaoyao is so happy to see you again."
Jiang Yao chattered on and on around Yun Mo, and Yun Mo didn't find it annoying at all. The two of them, one talking and the other listening, created a strangely harmonious scene.
"Axi, why did you let Yaoyao see this kid?"
Seeing Jiang He's indignant look, Bai Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Yaoyao is only four years old, she can't understand many things, while Yunmo is already fifteen years old, what are you worrying about!"
As a couple who slept under the same blanket, Bai Qian knew perfectly well what was bothering Jiang He.
"But we can't let him get close to Yao Yao so easily."
"The Empress Dowager's intention is for Yao Yao to become Yun Mo's apprentice." Bai Qian looked Yun Mo up and down. "Yun Mo is simple-minded and aloof, and he also has an exceptionally high talent for mechanical devices. Such a person should not be wasted."
"It's just that your daughter talks a lot; anyone else would be tired of hearing it."
Upon hearing Bai Qian's words, Jiang He finally looked at the two people opposite him, one big and one small.
Undeniably, Jiang Yu's arrangement was absolutely perfect.
In a crisis, technical skills can save lives.
“Young Master Yun, it would be safest to take him under our wing.” Bai Qian spoke slowly. Jiang He remained silent, and Bai Qian knew that Jiang He had tacitly agreed.
"Young Master Yun, if you don't mind, I'll call you Mo'er."
Yunmo nodded upon hearing this, "I don't mind."
“It’s like this, the Marquis and I are very busy with our affairs, and sometimes Yao Yao is all alone in the Marquis’s mansion.” Bai Qian extended her hand to Jiang Yao, “I wonder if you would be willing to let Yao Yao become your apprentice.”
"Will you...become my disciple?"
"I want you to teach Yao Yao your mechanical skills so that she will have the ability to save her life if she encounters danger in the future."
Upon hearing this, Yunmo looked down at Jiang Yao. Could this little princess, who had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, possibly encounter any danger?
"It seems Young Master Yun is unwilling. Guards, show him out!"
Jiang He stood up and hugged Jiang Yao. The little girl was still unaware of what had happened. "Daddy, I want to play with Brother Yunmo."
"I do."
Yunmo looked steadily at Jiang Yao in Jiang He's arms, "I will teach the princess everything I know."
"Okay, it's a deal."
......
"Master?"
Jiang Yao didn't quite understand the meaning of those two words.
“Yes, Princess, you will have to call me Master from now on.” Yun Mo smiled gently. “I will come to the Marquis’s residence every day to teach Princess how to set up mechanisms.”
When those words reached Jiang Yao's mind, they immediately transformed into "I will come to the Marquis's residence to play with you every day."
Jiang Yao clapped her hands happily, "Okay, Master!"
Yunmo nodded upon hearing this, then looked at Jiang He and Bai Qian, "I won't disturb them today."
After saying that, Yunmo walked out of the mansion.
"Axi, do you really think this Yunmo is usable?" Jiang He still had doubts. People from aristocratic families are often arrogant and wouldn't look favorably upon others.
"Trust those you employ, and do not employ those you distrust."
Bai Qian pinched Jiang Yao, "Someone like Yun Mo needs to be given something to do."
The Empress's exact words were that as long as Yunmo had something to do, he wouldn't think about anything else.
"Besides, Yao Yao got such a good master for free, I'm overjoyed!"
"Anyway, if I find out that he has ulterior motives, I will definitely not be lenient."
Jiang He hugged and kissed Jiang Yao; Yao Yao was his life.
......
Because of the letter Gu Qingyan sent, Gu Lin and Jiang Yu did not dare to delay and rushed back to the capital.
"Mother."
When Gu Qingyan met Jiang Yu, he was unsure how to bring up the matter of mind reading.
"Ayan, is something wrong?" Jiang Yu asked with concern. Seeing Gu Qingyan staring at her face, Jiang Yu couldn't help but touch her own face. "Is there something on my face?"
"It seems that the Empress Dowager has a new black mole on her face."
Jiang Yu had heard Gu Lin mention it a few days ago, and now she heard Gu Qingyan mention it again, and she felt a strange feeling in her heart.
"It appeared before at the Tea Flower Pavilion."
"Does Mother remember how this mole appeared?"
After carefully recalling what happened at the Tea Flower Pavilion, Jiang Yu slowly began to recount the scene.
"So, Ayu, you developed this mole when you regained your memories," Gu Lin said softly, while Gu Qingyan beside him seemed somewhat absent-minded.
He remembered the day his mother mentioned very clearly. It was on that day that he suddenly felt like he had lost contact with his mother.
The connection between him and his mother... seems to have truly vanished...
"Ayan, is there something wrong with this mole?"
Not only Jiang Yu, but even Gu Lin's expression became more serious.
Finally, Gu Qingyan mustered his courage and waved everyone away, saying slowly and deliberately, "Mother, you don't know, but I could read your thoughts before."
"You read my thoughts?" Jiang Yu's pupils suddenly contracted.
“I can read anything that my mother is thinking about me.”
