Xiao Xue looked at Han Jing and thought for a mont. Since it wouldn’t take them long to pick up their grandmother, perhaps ten days or half a month, they’d be back.
Since Mother is still mad at Father, let Father reflect for a few days. By the ti they return, Mother’s anger will have subsided.
Every ti Mother was angry with her, as long as she apologized, Mother would quickly stop being angry.
Hmm... I wonder if Father has apologized yet?
"Mother, has Father apologized to you? I asked Uncle Lan Ling why you made Father stand outside, and Uncle said Father did sothing wrong that upset you. Mother, has Father apologized?" If not, she should quickly tell Father to apologize first!
Han Jing worried that the little girl would continue to pester, so she quickly nodded: "He apologized, he apologized. Alright, alright, go tell your grandfather that we’ll leave after breakfast."
Xiao Xue was satisfied to leave upon hearing her say that Father had already apologized. Father had apologized, so Mother wouldn’t stay angry for long.
When Xiao Xue left, Han Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
She really didn’t know how to explain to this little one that she wasn’t angry with Su Yu.
It was just that she wasn’t soone who only needed to stand behind him.
Han Jing, the person she loves, would stand shoulder to shoulder with him, facing life and death together. She wouldn’t and didn’t want to be soone who hides behind him for protection.
So if he doesn’t understand what she wants, continuing on, they would only deepen the misunderstanding between them further.
Han Jing didn’t tell anyone about picking up Su Yaogeng. She just ntioned it to the Ghost Ancestor, and then quietly left with Xiao Xue and Han Siqu, plus Lianwu. Even Jiangnan was temporarily left at the Prayer Pavilion, entrusted to An Chuxue to watch over. Because Lianwu’s identity was special, belonging only to Xiao Xue, Han Jing couldn’t leave him here. It would be better if Lianwu followed wherever Xiao Xue went; this way, they had an extra hand, and if any unexpected situations arose that he couldn’t handle, at least Lianwu would be there to ensure Xiao Xue’s safety.
Lianwu had no objections; he only cared about Xiao Xue. The rest was none of his business.
Returning to Hanjing City felt like a lifeti ago for both Han Jing and Han Siqu.
Han Jing had not returned since leaving five years ago, while Han Siqu had been away for almost six years.
Without notifying in advance, they quietly returned to the Princess Mansion.
Upon arriving at the mansion’s gate, the new gatekeeper didn’t recognize Han Jing or Han Siqu, insisting that they wait for a report before allowing them entry.
Han Jing...
Han Siqu...
Especially Han Siqu, who felt bitter. Not returning ho for years ant no one recognized him anymore. He had cleansed and dressed himself at the Prayer Pavilion, shaved his beard, and apart from looking a bit thinner and darker than a few years ago, he hadn’t changed! Yet... how could they not recognize him at his own doorstep!
Both Han Jing and Han Siqu understood the mansion’s rules, so waiting was no issue. But not for Lianwu. What a joke that the Ghost King himself should stand outside and wait? Holding Xiao Xue, without even a glance at the gatekeeper, he kicked the door open and went in.
The gatekeeper panicked: "You, you can’t go in!"
But upon eting Lianwu’s gaze, he was so scared that his legs went soft.
