"Alright then! Let them be, they'll need them eventually anyway. Our Mu'er won't lack toys to play with anymore, right?" Xu Han also teased Mu'er.
"Sister Xiaohan, what do you want for lunch? I'll go with Grandpa to make lunch in a bit."
"I'm fine with anything, but could I have something spicy or sour? I'm so tired of the postpartum meals I've been eating lately," Xu Han said pitifully to Zhao Yunyun.
"Alright then! It's been half a month now, so today I'll give you a little bit of something not too spicy. We need to gradually increase the amount, otherwise Mu'er won't be able to handle it."
"That's great, Yunyun, I love you so much." Xu Han hugged Zhao Yunyun tightly, giving her a big bear hug.
People in feudal times were particularly prone to shyness. Seeing Xu Han like this, Zhao Yunyun blushed and ran out of the room.
For a moment, only Xu Han was left in the room, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.
Even though Mu'er didn't understand anything, she giggled along.
"What are you laughing at! Can you even understand what I'm saying? You're laughing along with me." Xu Han couldn't help but poke Mu'er's chubby little face as she spoke, and Mu'er laughed even harder at the sight.
The mother and daughter inside were laughing and joking around. Lu Chuan happened to see this when he came in and couldn't help but laugh along.
"How did you get in here? Weren't you supposed to be making toys for Mu'er outside?" Xu Han asked.
“I saw Yunyun went out, and I was afraid Mu’er would bother you, so I came in.”
"Our Mu'er is so well-behaved, he won't bother me! You can go outside and do your work if you don't need to! I can take care of him myself. Mu'er just finished eating, he should be asleep soon."
Seeing that Mu'er's eyes were indeed about to close, Lu Chuan left the room, saying as he went, "Call me if you need anything! I'll be right outside."
"Okay, I got it. Go ahead and get busy!"
Lu Chuan had only been gone a short while when he heard a commotion outside, and Xu Han had no idea what was going on.
However, the temperature outside was too low, and Xu Han couldn't go out. She could only suppress her curiosity and wait until someone came in to ask about the situation.
After some time, Lu Chuan walked in and said to Xu Han, "Yunhua and Yunyun may be leaving soon."
Xu Han was surprised to hear this and asked in confusion, "Go? Where to?"
"I don't know, none of them said, and I didn't ask any further. They probably went down the mountain to somewhere else!"
"Didn't we agree to spend the New Year together this year? The New Year is almost here, why are you suddenly leaving? And why are you leaving in such a hurry?"
"The Taoist priest just received a letter and immediately told Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun to pack their things and leave soon. Grandpa Zhao is making lunch right now! He told them to have lunch before they leave."
"There must be some urgent matter, it must be related to the capital. If Lu Chuan and the others don't say why, let's pretend we don't know anything."
They will definitely tell us what they need to know; if they're not telling us, it means they don't want us to know.
"The Taoist priests and the others have special identities, so we shouldn't ask questions we shouldn't ask," Xu Han rambled on.
"Yes! I know, don't worry! I'm perceptive enough. Silly wife, just take good care of yourself and don't worry about anything else. I'll take care of everything."
"Okay! I understand." Although Xu Han said that, she still asked about many things. After all, that's just her personality. She used to shoulder everything on her own. Now, although she has someone to rely on, she still can't help but worry about many things.
I only feel at ease when I've personally overseen many things; I always feel uneasy if I haven't.
He's destined to be a workaholic, never able to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet.
After lunch, Zhao Yunyun went to Xu Han's room and said to Xu Han, "Sister Xiao Han, I'm so sorry! I was supposed to spend the New Year with you, but I have to leave because of an urgent matter."
"It's alright, Yunyun. Your brother Lu Chuan already told me. We have plenty of time! You can come anytime next year or the year after, whenever you have time," Xu Han said softly, holding Zhao Yunyun's hand.
"I've been here for so long, I really don't want to leave. It's so comfortable here." Zhao Yunyun's eyes reddened as she spoke.
"When the world is at peace, you can come back and stay here as long as you want. Your room will always be reserved for you."
"You said it yourself! You can't go back on your word."
"I definitely won't go back on my word. This is your home. You can stay as long as you want."
The two were talking when the Taoist priest outside urged, "Yunyun, it's time to set off."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunyun hugged Mu'er on the crib again and kissed Mu'er's cheek. This time, she left the room.
Xu Han also took a thick coat and put it on, then followed Zhao Yunyun out of the room.
"Girl, why did you come out? It's cold outside. Come inside!" the Taoist priest scolded.
"It's alright, I'm dressed warmly, I won't get cold." Hearing Xu Han say this, and seeing that she was indeed dressed quite warmly, everyone fell silent.
Lu Chuan handed the prepared food to Yun Hua, and the Taoist priest said, "Let's set off quickly! Be careful on the road."
"It's quite cold, so make sure you keep warm at night to avoid catching a cold," Lu Chuan said.
"Okay, we understand. Don't bother seeing us off. Sister Xiaohan, you should go inside now!"
"Okay, be careful! Take good care of yourselves while you're out and about," Xu Han added with concern.
"Okay, don't worry! We'll come back when you have your next baby," Yunhua chuckled.
“We’ll try our best to get you back as soon as possible,” Lu Chuan replied.
"I'll be waiting for your letter! Maybe Mu'er will even be able to call out to people when you come back next time!" Yunhua said.
"We'll keep talking about you two in Mu'er's ear every day, and I guarantee he won't forget you two," Xu Han laughed.
"Okay, okay, I think this idea is pretty good."
"Alright, let's go!" the Taoist priest urged, then picked up Yunhua's luggage and walked out first.
"Sister Xiaohan, you shouldn't go out. It's cold outside," Zhao Yunyun said.
"I understand, I won't go out."
Lu Chuan and the others went to see Yun Hua and Zhao Yunyun off, while Xu Han stayed inside the house and didn't go out again. Mu'er was still inside! People who couldn't leave.
When Lu Chuan and his group returned, everyone looked rather grim, and Xu Han didn't know what to say.
However, they probably guessed that something bad must have happened down the mountain, and Yunhua and Zhao Yunyun urgently needed to go back to deal with it.
Since the Taoist priest and the others didn't say anything, Xu Han and Lu Chuan didn't ask either, pretending not to know.
