"What's wrong?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, looking at the three children standing in front of her with tense little faces. Even though she knew the answer in her heart, she pretended not to know.
"You know it, yet you pretend to be confused." Tianji's voice was trembling with grievance as soon as she spoke.
"Alright, don't be upset about this yet. Let's sort this out properly. You see, the fact that Kaiyang found his family back then was really just a coincidence."
Later, Tianxuan and Tianji found their family because of the characters on that bamboo plaque. I confirmed the characters on it. That's why, on a whim, I took them to confirm it.
Your family heard about the general process of how the two families found their children, and that their lost children were also around one year old. They also learned that I have several children who have not yet found their families.
Therefore, they came all this way with a glimmer of hope.
What does this show? It shows that they care about their child. It shows that even though they haven't found their lost child after so many years, they still haven't given up and are still full of hope and expectation.
They came, and I helped you with the blood kinship test, which was confirmed. All three of you have found your families, which is great news.
I know you're sad because you don't want to be separated from us, but you also need to figure out what's more important.
"Your father has seen you, but what about your mother, and the rest of your family who are also looking forward to seeing you..." Hong Xiaoduo's voice was hoarse from speaking so much.
While Hong Xiaoduo was drinking the tea that Tianxuan brought, Yuheng stepped forward and said cautiously, "Then Mother, can't you, Master, Sister Feiyan, and Second Brother and Fourth Brother come back with us one by one? We can stay at home for a few days."
Our three fathers have all agreed to change only our surnames back to our given names, without changing them.
Furthermore, they allowed us to continue following you and your master, saying that as long as we go home to see our family and elders first, we can go wherever we want with you afterward.
Huh? You can do that? She really hadn't expected that, and Hong Xiaoduo didn't know how to respond.
The children didn't want to be separated from her, even temporarily, and so did she!
While drinking at dinner just now, she suddenly found the answer. She had been inexplicably irritable these past two days because she couldn't bear to be separated from her children.
“Our father also said that it doesn’t matter which family we go to first. If you and Master agree, we will study the map carefully and plan the most suitable route so that we don’t have to backtrack,” Tian Shu said weakly.
"Don't worry about me, I'll do whatever you want." Quan Jinghuai immediately said when his disciple mentioned him.
Hong Xiaoduo glanced at him and thought to herself, "Heh, you sure know how to be a good person!"
"Tian Shu, if I remember correctly, your father is a second-rank censor, right? And you, Tian Ji, your father is a fifth-rank prefect. How could they be away for so long for personal matters?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with feigned curiosity.
“No, our three fathers have already discussed it. If you agree to take us home one by one, they will go back on their own first. So, we can take our time, there’s no rush,” Tianji said immediately after hearing Hong Xiaoduo’s words.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo nodded, then suddenly realized and said, "So you've already discussed it all, and if I don't agree, it's because I'm not a good person to talk to?"
Upon hearing this, the three children immediately shook their heads to indicate that it was not true.
However, the three of them were somewhat guilty at this moment, so guilty that they dared not look her in the eye.
"Now, can someone tell me what happened to your swollen eyes? Did you cry because you reunited with your father and talked about how much you missed your family?"
"Or did you ask your fathers if you wanted to continue following me, and you cried because you were afraid they wouldn't agree and you wanted to soften their hearts and make them agree?" Hong Xiaoduo put down her teacup and asked with her arms crossed.
With seven children by her side for over two years, how could she not see through their little schemes?
Hearing this, Quan Jinghuai couldn't stand it anymore and was about to speak up for his third disciple, asking how they could be spoken to like that.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw his three poor disciples lower their heads even further.
Well, these three good-for-nothings, it seems their 'mother' understands them better after all!
If you want your father to agree to let you continue following her, then you should have a proper discussion, appeal to his emotions and reason with him. If that doesn't work, then think of other ways. Why resort to crying?
Even Yao Guang wouldn't use this trick! How could those three have the nerve to do it?
"Alright, go wash up and go to bed. As for what you said, I'll consider it." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear to scold the three children, seeing them like this.
Although Old Man Luo still hasn't cracked his grandfather's key, he still doesn't know the purpose of bringing her here.
Since there is still no information about Xiao Yaoguang's background, it is feasible to promise the three children that we can take them home one by one for a reunion.
Hong Xiaoduo's concern was that, according to her original plan, finding families for each of the four children one by one wouldn't be so quick. However, she figured it wouldn't hurt to continue searching for the families of the other children while taking the children who had found their families with her.
However, she really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly for the next few children. Goodness, three children found their families all at once.
While the correct statement should be that the three children's families found them, for her, the result was the same.
The pace of things was different from what she had originally planned, which made her, who is usually decisive, somewhat hesitant when faced with the requests of her three children.
