Because this is a rule that has been established since ancient times, it’s just a matter of the number of people.
"I know how you feel about Old Four. If we were still in our old place, I would only be happy for your relationship."
As she spoke, she took Mianmian's hand and sighed, "Here, we have no control over many things. Mianmian, you have to learn to adapt. The fourth brother treats you well. It's just two more mouths to feed in the mansion. You don't have to worry too much about the rest."
"Old Four is a sentimental person. As long as you two trust each other, you will definitely live well..."
Although Wen Mianmian felt a little uncomfortable because the Fourth Master had two more women, Concubine De was right. As long as she and the Fourth Master trusted each other, even if other little foxes wanted to seduce the Fourth Master to go to him, the master would not be tempted.
Wen Mianmian still trusts the Fourth Master on this point.
"Don't worry, mother, I know what to do." Wen Mianmian forced a smile.
"Just keep it in mind. If you have any problem, just come to me." De Fei's words were equivalent to saying that she would stand on her side.
"Thank you, mother."
Wen Mianmian talked with Concubine De for a while and then took the children back home.
The children were very happy to hear that they could go home.
Although it’s fun to be at Mama’s place, it’s more fun in my own yard.
Because they hadn't seen each other for more than a month, the three little ones hugged Xiaobai tightly as soon as they got in the car.
Wen Mianmian saw how happy they were and didn't disturb them.
Xiaobai was already accustomed to their enthusiasm, and he nestled in their arms, letting them knead and flatten him, while he continued to sleep with his eyes closed.
When Wen Mianmian went back and was packing up, she remembered the things that Master Lingye had given to the children.
When the box was taken out, inside were three small beads the size of an adult's thumb.
They don't look like pearls, because these three beads are all emerald green, a very light color. If you don't look closely, you can't see it. They are not completely round, but more like an oval and a little flat. Master Lingye didn't say what it was at the time.
It feels warm and comfortable when you hold it in your hand.
Wen Mianmian looked at it for a long time but still didn't know what it was, so she called Xiaobai over and asked it to help take a look, hoping it might recognize it.
When Xiaobai came over and saw that thing, his eyes lit up.
"Wow, where did you get this thing, Mianmian?" This is a good thing, how could Mianmian have it.
"Xiaobai, do you know what this is?"
"Of course I know. This is a Spirit Gathering Pearl. If someone who has just started practicing can get one, it can help them quickly gather spiritual energy. It can also purify and transform spiritual energy, and it's a great thing to help practitioners practice quickly."
"Mianmian, where did you get this thing? Are you planning to give me one too?"
As he spoke, Xiaobai couldn't help but stretch out his little tiger paw to take one out.
This thing is really necessary for it now.
Although it ate the spiritual fruits given by Mianmian every day, the spiritual energy it absorbed was too little.
If I had this thing, I could absorb 100% of the spiritual energy in the spiritual fruit instead of wasting a lot of it.
Unexpectedly, Mianmian took the box away directly, and Xiaobai's tiger claws immediately fell into the air.
Xiaobai raised his tiger head and looked at her: "Mianmian, isn't this for me?"
"Who said it was for you? This was given by Master Lingye to Tiantian and the other three." Wen Mianmian closed the box again after knowing the purpose of this thing.
After hearing what Xiaobai said, she roughly knew what Master Lingye meant by his last words.
When Xiaobai heard this, his face immediately fell.
"Mianmian, why don't you lend it to me for a few days, just a few days, and I will return it after I'm done using it." Xiaobai raised his tiger paw as if asking for help, with a pitiful look in his eyes.
"No, this thing is not for me, it's for Tiantian and the others."
"One day, just one day will do." Xiaobai continued to beg while pulling at Mianmian's trouser legs.
"Not even for half a day. If it was given to me, you could use it whenever you wanted, but this is for the children and you are not allowed to touch it."
"But they don't need it now, so why not let me use it?"
"No, at most I'll make an exception and give you an extra spiritual fruit tomorrow."
"Really? Mianmian, that's settled." Although Xiaobai felt it was a pity, the Spirit Gathering Stone was really a good thing.
But since Mianmian said so, no matter what I say, Mianmian will not change her mind. It would be nice to get a spiritual fruit.
"I agreed to give it to you tomorrow."
Knowing the function of this thing, Wen Mianmian put it away first and discussed it with the Fourth Master after he came back.
——
The Fourth Master came back half a month later.
The first thing he did after returning was to go into the palace with Longkodo and tell him everything that had happened during this period.
Now most of the victims there have been cured. Doctor Zheng and his colleagues are still doing the finishing work and will be back in a few days.
Because the plague was brought under control in time, not many people died.
It was almost evening when the Fourth Master returned home.
Fu Jin had already sent people to watch outside. Knowing that the Fourth Master was about to arrive, she led the women and children in the mansion out to greet him.
The Fourth Master soon appeared in everyone's sight on horseback.
When Wen Mianmian saw the Fourth Master, a smile appeared on her face.
When the three children saw their father, they wanted to rush out, but Wen Mianmian had reminded them in advance, so when they couldn't hold back, the nanny beside them pulled them back in time.
This is why they didn't rush out like they did before.
The happiest people were the two new princesses who had just entered the palace.
Both Ma Jia and Geng were dressed particularly beautifully today.
Ma Jia's appearance was naturally slightly better than Geng Gege's, so her face was full of confidence, and she thought that her master would definitely come to her courtyard tonight after seeing her.
She has waited for several years and now finally this day has come.
The Fourth Master rode his horse and stopped at the gate of the mansion.
Everyone knelt down and saluted, "Welcome the master back to the mansion."
The Fourth Master threw the whip to the eunuch beside him and walked forward: "Everyone, get up."
The Fourth Master walked up to Wen Mianmian and helped her up. Wen Mianmian had a bright smile on her face.
Fu Jin felt a little sad when she saw this. In the past, her master was the first to help her up, but now her master helped Wen.
However, he looked calm, composed, tolerant and generous, as if he was not dissatisfied with this at all.
"Master, it must have been very hard for you to be away for so long. You look a lot thinner. Now that you are back, you must take good care of yourself." Fu Jin said with a smile.
