Song Yin did not feel childish at all, the little girl was his and could only make him good food, no one else, not even if Shen Ya was a little one.
“Sister Yue’er ……”
The little man came over aggressively, not forgetting to protect the snack in his arms.
Song Wangyue bent down to comfort him, “Your Uncle Song is too childish, ignore him, wait for a while and Sister Yue’er will make you something delicious.”
The little man was happy and made a face at Song Yin, turning upside down and going back to sit down.
Song Yin didn’t tease her anymore, “Little girl, don’t you think the name calling is wrong? She calls you sister Yue’er, call me Uncle Song.”
“That’s right ……”
Song Wangyue carefully flipped the base in the pot, “You are indeed several years older than me.”
Older?
Song Yin was struck by lightning, he was just sixteen, how could he be older? It was obvious that she was too young.
……
General’s residence.
When Shen Yan returned home, he saw Ming’s packed things and also saw Ming’s somewhat reddened eyes, “What happened?”
“Miss Song said she was going back tomorrow, these are the clothes I made for my son, let her help bring them back.”
Shen Yan sat down and gestured for her to come and sit down too, “Ya’er has grown up and has not met her grandparents yet, why don’t you go back with Miss Song, mother and daughter.”
Ming snapped her eyes at him.
……
The bottom of the pot was ready, and the underlings took care of all the ingredients and brought them to the dining room.
Song Yin and Doctor Yao ate without lifting their heads, and the little man ate to his heart’s content.
Song Wangyue ate very little and kept putting ingredients into the pot.
After he had eaten and drunk enough and let Xiao Si play with the little man, Song Yin dragged Song Wan Yue back to his room, and when the door was closed, he took her in his arms, his voice mute, “Will you leave tomorrow?”
Song Wan Yue nodded her head.
Song Yin could not wait to rub her into his body and not part from her for a moment, the little girl was too outstanding, he did not know how many people were thinking about her, he had to speed up his pace.
“I will go back soon.”
Song Wangyue still nodded, wrapping her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest, listening to his steady and strong heartbeat, “Be careful, I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”
“Good.”
……
Early the next morning, Shen Yan came out of the mansion with the little man in his arms, followed by Ming.
Knowing that he was going to the capital with his sister Yue’er, the little man was so excited that he didn’t sleep much all night and shouted all the people up as soon as it was light.
Shen Yan was a bit reluctant. Although he had told Ming yesterday that they could come back whenever they wanted, he knew that it was very unlikely that they would return, his parents were getting old and the mansion needed someone to support them, and he did not want his daughter to grow up here.
“Be obedient on the way and don’t always pester Sister Yue’er.”
The little man nodded obediently and wrapped his arms around his neck, “When will daddy go back?”
“Very soon, Ya’er can write to daddy first when she misses daddy. When we go back ya’ll help daddy take care of grandparents.”
“Ya’er will, daddy don’t worry.”
Shen Yan hugged her a little tighter, but even with all the reluctance, he still put the little person on the carriage and turned back to help Ming up again, “Be careful on the way.”
Ming nodded, “You take care of yourself too.”
“I will.”
Shen Yan took a step back and nodded towards Song Wan Yue, “Please.”
“You’re welcome, Uncle Shen.”
“Let’s go.”
The carriage flung the whip and the carriage slowly walked up, Ming lifted the curtain and looked at Shen Yan, her eyes red.
Shen Yan stood where he was until the carriage was no longer visible before he turned around and mounted his horse to go to the barracks.
A group of people left the border city.
The carriage was spacious and covered with thick felt, which was topped with thick
solid mattresses, and little people sat on their knees on the mattresses sprawled out of the window, chattering like little birds that had been let out of their cages.
“Sister Yue’er, daddy says the capital is so much fun, he wants me to have a good time when I get home.”
“Daddy also said that there are so many beautiful clothes in the capital, and when we get back home he will ask Mother to make me many, many pieces, so that I can change one set every hour.”
“Father also said that my brother is especially nice and misses me.”
“Father also said ……”
Song Wangyue followed the carriage, listening to her with a smile on her lips.
Ming was a little embarrassed, Ya’er was usually a very understanding child, not pestering people and not talking so much, somehow when she saw Song Wangyue she couldn’t stop talking.
But because there was such a little one, they didn’t feel lonely on the way, and nearly a month later, they returned to the capital.
Song Wangyue first sent Ming and Shen Ya back to the Zhen Guo House.
When the carriage arrived, Shen Lin, Shen Yan’s eldest son, was already waiting at the gate.
At ten years old, his youthfulness was completely absent and he was very calm.
As soon as the carriage stopped, he stepped forward and lifted the curtain, “Mother, little sister.”
Inside the carriage, looking at her son, who had grown considerably taller, Ming’s eyes were red.
The little man, on the other hand, flashed his pretty eyes and cocked his little head to survey his brother.
“Ya’er, call for your brother.”
“Brother.”
Hearing this crisp cry, there was a smile on Shen Lin’s old, mature face as he stretched out his hand towards Shen Ya, and the little person immediately got up and jumped into his arms.
Shen Lin carried her down and turned back to help Ming down before bowing towards Song Wan Yue, “Thank you, Miss Song, for sending my mother and little sister back.”
“You’re welcome, Sir Shen.”
“Miss Song must have had a long and tiring journey, I’ll pay my respects at home another day.”
Song Wangyue said goodbye to Ming and Ya’er, rolled onto her horse and walked around a corner to stop it.
The Second Prince’s secret guard came up silently, “Miss Song.”
“Go back to your master and tell him that I have something important to tell him, so that he can find a safe place and meet me in an hour.”
The secret guard quickly left.
Song Wangyue then went straight to the Household Department.
She had been here twice, so the people at the Household Department knew her and wanted to lead her to Song Si, but she stopped her, “I’m here to see Lord Shang Shu.”
The man who wanted to lead her there froze, then noticed her dusty appearance and instantly understood, and with a twist of his footsteps, he led her to the house outside the office of the Minister of the Household.
“Your Excellency, Miss Song Wangyue Song requests an audience.”
The Minister of Household Affairs was in the middle of his official duties, when he heard the words, his hand shook and the tip of his pen poked a large puddle of ink on the official document, he threw the brush on the official document in anger, took a few deep breaths and suppressed the fire he was filled with, “Let her in.”
Song Wangyue pushed the door in and didn’t even see the salute, she directly took out the IOU signed by Shen Yan and put it in front of the Minister of Household Affairs, “This is my money for the work this time, please settle the silver to me.”
The Minister of Household Affairs picked it up, and when he saw the amount on it, he felt a pang of pain, for it was only for making some pills, but it was several tens of thousands of taels. But having learnt from the last time, he dared not make things difficult again and picked up a pen and signed on it.
