734 The Truth of Karma (1)
Yu Wan finally saw her son. The worry that she had not dared to show in front of others for the past few days surged into her heart at this moment. She couldn’t care less about her image as the princely heir consort. She lifted her skirt and ran in the night.
“Dabao, Dabao!”
The two little guys scrambled to run towards their brother, but a figure hugged Dabao faster than them.
“Dabao!” Yu Wan hugged her son, whom she had not seen for three days. Although they had been separated for more than three days in the past, it was a completely different concept for a son to be beside his family and in the hands of his enemies. “Let me see if Dabao has lost weight.”
!!
Dabao looked at his mother adorably. He really wanted to tell his mother that he missed her so much that he had lost weight. Unfortunately, the fat on his belly betrayed him.
Grandpa Yan fed him more than Grandma did!
Yu Wan could tell that her son had been taken good care of by Prince Yan. She turned to look at Yan Jiuchao. “Where’s Father? Is he alright?”
Yan Jiuchao said, “He’s back at Sishui Street. He’s a little tired, but he’s fine.”
It was not an easy task to fatten up Dabao under the noses of the enemy. Prince Yan’s frail body almost collapsed from exhaustion as soon as he got into the carriage. Yan Jiuchao first sent him back to Sishui Street before bringing Dabao back to the Helian Manor.
“Aiya, Mother, are you done hugging?” Xiaobao tugged at Yu Wan’s little skirt. In the past, he did not want his mother to hug Dabao because he wanted to occupy his mother, but now, he wanted to occupy Dabao.
Yu Wan did not know whether to laugh or cry. She put Dabao down. Xiaobao and Er’bao opened their arms and hugged their elder brother. Dabao also went to hug his two younger brothers.
The three of them were fat and had short arms, so they hugged awkwardly.
“I… I can’t hug,” Xiaobao said.
“Me too,” Er’bao said.
Yu Wan burst into laughter, tears falling out.
The three little fellows hugged each other clumsily for a while. Yu Wan rubbed their little heads. “It’s getting late. Let’s go back to the manor. Great-grandmother is still waiting for you in the courtyard.”
“Mhm!” The three of them nodded.
The three brothers held hands and skipped into the residence!
“Let’s go too,” Yu Wan said to Yan Jiuchao.
Yan Jiuchao hummed lightly and walked forward expressionlessly. Yu Wan followed with light steps. She looked at the hand hanging by his side and gently held it.
“Thanks a lot,” she said.
“I’m his father,” Yan Jiuchao said.
In other words, what was there to thank?
Yu Wan smiled and said softly, “I still have to thank you.”
Yu Wan never felt that because he was a man, her husband, and the father of the children, his kindness and sacrifice were justified. He used all his efforts to do something that could have been done with half of the efforts. It was not out of responsibility, but out of a heart that loved her and the children.
This kind of heart was priceless and rare in the world.
Yu Wan looked at him with a smile. He was about to go up the stairs, but he actually stumbled.
“Are you alright?” Yu Wan caught him in time. “You can even trip on such a big step. I’m just looking at you. How long have we been married? We already have three children. Look at how nervous you are!”
Yan Jiuchao snorted, pulled out his hand, and strode away.
My husband looks especially handsome when he’s angry! Yu Wan happily followed.
In the house, when the Old Madam saw her obedient great-grandson, she couldn’t stop smiling. They naturally didn’t mention the kidnapping of Dabao to the Old Madam. She only said that Dabao had stayed in the palace to accompany Consort Yun for a few days.
Even though she did not know the truth, the Old Madam’s eyelids had been twitching for the past few days and she could not sleep well. When she finally hugged Dabao who returned safely, the old lady looked radiant again.
“Great-grandma’s darling!” The Old Madam hugged Dabao lovingly for a long time.
However, this was not the only thing that made Old Madam happy.
“Ahem!” Yu Shaoqing cleared his throat at the door. “Mother, look who’s here.”
The Old Madam raised her head in confusion. Yu Shaoqing moved to the side, revealing a monk in green.
The Old Madam’s eyes widened. “Sheng… Sheng’er?”
Helian Sheng did not take a step forward.
“What are you waiting for? Come in!” Yu Shaoqing pulled his nephew to the Old Madam.
The Old Madam’s throat suddenly felt swollen and painful. She reached out with trembling hands and said with tears in her eyes, “Is it Shenger?”
The green-robed monk knelt down in front of the old lady and handed his face to her. “It’s me, Grandmother.”
“Sheng’er——” The Old Madam pulled Helian Sheng into her arms, tears streaming down her face.
