"What? Tianquan is actually General Gong Wei's son?" Wei Junpei was shocked by Fan Wu's words, and Dong Xiang next to him had the same reaction.
The two of them learned that Murong Jing had seen Hong Xiaoduo and the other children during his trip, so they waited outside for Fan Wu to ask him about Hong Xiaoduo and the other children.
They had only just heard that Tianxuan was the son of Ye Ren'an, the fourth-rank prefect of Jiaozhou, and hadn't fully processed the news yet. Now they learned that another child was the son of General Gong.
Although Prime Minister Dong had never met those children, he cared about and missed them because of his close relationship with his son and Old Man Wei.
"Xiao Duo said that the other children whose surnames are not yet known are very likely to have families and parents, and their identities are very likely not those of ordinary people." Because of his relationship with Xiao Duo, Fan Wu naturally became much closer to the two old men.
"That Black Impermanence is truly despicable and utterly wicked." Wei Junpei was relieved to hear that his children had been reunited with their families, but at the same time, he was filled with righteous indignation at that scoundrel.
If that person was originally kind and innocent, and was ruined by corrupt officials, leading to their family's destruction and death, then it would be one thing for them to become psychologically disturbed and seek revenge on others. But the other party was originally an evil person who did evil deeds, and his wife, children and family members suffered misfortune because of his own actions, yet he still took his anger out on others.
“My lords, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first,” Fan Wu said.
Just as Wei and Dong were about to nod, Wei Junpei suddenly remembered and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Has His Majesty assigned you another task?"
"No, I returned on the orders of the Crown Prince to report to His Majesty. Now that the matter is settled, I plan to go to Huazhou to meet with the Crown Prince. Perhaps Xiaoduo and the others haven't left yet." Since they were all on his side, Fan Wu had no intention of lying to them.
It wasn't because these two officials held high positions and were important ministers in the court, but mainly because of Xiao Duo's relationship with them, that she treated them as elders.
Fan Wu followed Murong Jing out of gratitude, and had no real respect for officials.
"Oh, you're still going to find them? Could you please?" Wei Junpei immediately asked.
"Lord Wei, I'm not sure if Xiaoduo and the others will still be there when I arrive, and I need to travel light, so it won't be convenient for you to bring anything." Fan Wu had heard the children mention that several people in the capital liked to give them things, so he quickly refused.
Upon hearing this, Wei Junpei's face fell. Well, he did want to go back and talk to his wife, daughter-in-law, and Kaiyang to see what to bring them.
Spring is just around the corner, so giving everyone two sets of spring clothes is probably the minimum.
With the current temperature, bringing some local Beijing snacks and treats shouldn't spoil, right?
"Xiao Duo and the others seem to really enjoy the roast duck from Jinghualou Restaurant," Dong Xiang muttered regretfully.
Upon hearing what Old Man Wei said, he immediately thought of roast duck.
Good heavens! He, as the father, never once thought of bringing his son, who was in the Northwest Army, roasted duck, even though his son loved it.
Do Xiaoduo and the others like the roasted duck from Jinghualou? Fan Wu remembered it. He would go find the restaurant owner later and reserve a few ducks to take with him before leaving tomorrow morning.
If Xiaoduo and the others are still in Hongliu City when I arrive, then I'll be able to eat there.
Thinking of this, Fan Wu began to blame himself again. How could he be so stupid? He knew that the reason he was sent back to the capital to report was to find Xiao Duo again, and he agreed because he wanted to help the two of them get together.
Unexpectedly, war broke out in the area where Xiaoduo went.
Regardless of the dangers of war zones, Xiao Duo, having just learned the information, led the six children and Fei Yan to the battlefield. He felt no fear, only regret for not being there himself!
No, when I see Murong Jing this time, regardless of whether he and Xiaoduo get married in the future, I should tell him that it's time to break up with him.
I've missed so many fun and exciting times if I weren't with Xiaoduo and those kids!
Spending all day following Murong Jing to handle court affairs is nothing compared to the experiences I had with Xiao Duo and the others.
After bidding farewell to the two elders, Fan Wu first went to Jinghua Restaurant to reserve five roasted ducks. Then, he went to the Marquis's residence to meet the Marquis and the Princess.
"What? You mean my silly son has finally come to his senses, realized his own feelings, and went to find Xiaoduo?" When Princess Fenglin saw Fan Wu, she didn't seem to care or worry that her son hadn't come back with her. Her son had been domineering since he was very young, which had hardened her, who was originally a loving mother, into a heart of stone.
Upon hearing what Fan Wu was about to tell them, they clapped their hands in delight.
"Fan Wu, in your opinion, is there any chance for him and Xiao Duo?" Princess Feng Lin asked in a much gentler voice than usual.
"I think so. Xiaoduo has known him for a long time and has always had a good impression of him. The two of them have met several times and gotten along very well. I think as long as the young master continues to put in the effort, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
However, Princess, are you really not bothered by Xiaoduo's identity?
After all, given the prince's status, shouldn't his wife be someone of equal social standing? Besides, Xiao Duo seems to value monogamy and wouldn't allow her husband to take concubines or have other women. Fan Wu still wanted to remind the princess.
Don't let things get complicated after the wedding, with one problem or another arising later on.
"Of course, our family doesn't need to find a suitable family for marriage for any benefit. As long as Jing'er and Jing'er love each other, there's no need to consider anything else."
