Feng Jiu chuckled lightly, pinched her little face, and said, "You'll grow up, don't worry! Yue'er will grow into a beautiful young lady."
"Yue'er will be as beautiful as Mother," she replied with a smile, her eyes curving like crescent moons.
"Mother, the Pan family was kind to us. When we left, we promised to ask you to heal Young Master Pan's legs so he can stand again," Hao'er said, his gaze fixed on her.
Feng Jiu smiled. "Alright, Mother knows. We'll visit him again soon."
Hao'er smiled and nodded, then fell silent.
"Chen'er, how is your health?" Feng Jiu asked, looking at her quiet son, and stroking his head. "Are you alright?"
"Mmh, I'm fine, Mother, don't worry," Mu Chen replied, pausing before continuing, "It's just that the blood curse isn't completely gone, but the symptoms we had earlier have disappeared recently." He hesitated before asking, "Mother, is Father alright?"
They had suspected that their physical condition was related to their parents'. They saw their mother today and she seed fine, but they hadn't seen their father. They feared sothing had happened to him, but their mother hadn't said anything.
Feng Jiu's eyes flickered, and her smile faded slightly.
"Mother, did sothing happen to Father?" Yue'er asked, her eyes filled with worry.
Feng Sanyuan and the others exchanged glances, then looked at Feng Jiu. They had been unsure a few days ago, but after the children's questions, they had a general idea of Mo Ze's situation. Now that the children had asked, should they tell them?
"You must be tired from your journey. It's late, so go have a hot bath and rest. I'll tell you about your father another ti," Feng Jiu said softly, smiling at the children.
The children nodded and didn't press further.
"I'll take them!" Wanrong said, stepping forward to take Hao'er and the others by the hand. "I'll take them back to their rooms. You co over later! Spend so ti with them."
"Alright, I will," Feng Jiu replied, watching them leave. Then, her smile faded, and a hint of weariness appeared. She rubbed her brow gently.
"Little Feng, aren't you going to tell the children about Mo Ze?" Feng Sanyuan asked, seeing her tired face and sighing lightly.
"In a few days! I'll find a good ti," Feng Jiu replied, standing up. "The man is in the guest room in the west courtyard, right?"
"Yes, the guest room in the west courtyard," Feng Xiao confird.
She nodded. "Alright, I'll go see him and find out where he's from."
"It's getting late. Why not go in the morning? He might be resting," Feng Xiao suggested.
Feng Jiu looked at the sky, paused, and said, "You're right. Then I'll go back to my courtyard. Tell the people in the west courtyard to take good care of him." She looked at the Nine-Precious Fruit on the table and stored it in her space.
