Chapter 100: Heartache
Of course, she only inquired An Jiuyue’s past indirectly. For example, she would remark, “These two children are so obedient. Sister Jiuyue, you’re so lucky.” The next day, she would mention, “These two children are so fortunate to have met you, Sister Jiuyue.”
Just like that, she gathered the pieces of information and completed the rough story.
Qian Jiyun took a deep breath.
He had been continuously searching for Lan Zhitong. He had searched many villages and towns but to no avail.
He had never considered that she would change her name, live on a mountain, become a hunter’s daughter, and even become a hunter herself.
!!
He sighed heavily, heartache in his eyes.
“It’s my fault. I implicated her.”
“How is any of this your fault, Big Brother?” Qian Yiyun gritted her teeth and spat hatefully, “It’s all that old woman’s fault! She couldn’t give birth to a child, yet she wanted to seize the family fortune! Has she ever considered that she isn’t worth any of it?
“By the way, Big Brother, what do you plan to do now that we found her?”
My sister-in-law does not seem like she plans to reunite with Big Brother. Besides, she’s living quite an enjoyable life here. This is much better than all the scheming and strife outside.
If I were in her shoes, I won’t want to leave this place either.
“I’ve handled matters back there, so I can stay here for a while,” Qian Jiyun replied.
Qian Yiyun was surprised. She looked up at her brother.
“You want to stay here? Are you kidding me? Will she let you stay? Where are you going to stay? Are you going to share a room with her?”
How is that possible? My sister-in-law will definitely kick him down the treehouse!
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ll handle it. Is she home? Let’s go back together,” Qian Jiyun said.
“No, she went into the mountains,” Qian Yiyun replied.
She hoped that her brother would not be startled after finding another child in An Jiuyue’s home.
To be honest, Qian Jiyun was never startled. He did not even react much when someone latched onto him and claimed that her two sons were his. As long as he knew that the children were not his, nothing else mattered.
However, there was someone dumbfounded by the three children on the bed.
Why are there more children in Miss An’s home? Where does she get these children from? The flood has already receded. Where would she rescue another child from?
Yan Nuo noticed Qian Jiyun’s entrance and pointed at the three children on the bed. “General, these three children…”
“Fewer words, more action. Go up the mountain and chop up more firewood,” Qian Jiyun instructed him.
“Yes, General,” Yan Nuo instinctively responded and headed downstairs.
However, he soon realized that he only had a sword. He looked up at the treehouse with a long face, then back down at his sword.
He wants me to chop firewood, but what am I supposed to use to chop it? This sword in my hand? How is this possible?
But I have to make the impossible possible! If I don’t chop firewood, he might send me somewhere to train! I’ll be crying then!
…
Meanwhile, An Jiuyue shuttled through the forest, the scenery flying by.
