Chapter 1784: Chapter 1722: Heading to the Northern Region
Wufu decided to go to the Northern Region and meet Ah Jiu. She was concerned about Ah Jiu being there alone. If Emperor Yan harbors no ill intentions, thatās one thing; but if he does, and Ah Jiu is all alone with no support, she would be heartbroken.
Hua Wushuang, however, disagreed with Wufu going to the Northern Region. For one, the terrain and environment there were harsh, and she had just started gaining some weight. Who knows what hardships she would face?
Secondly, he was somewhat selfish and didnāt want Wufu to take risks. Ah Jiu was a prince, and if he truly couldnāt even protect himself, then itās genuinely worrying.
He didnāt believe that young man was truly so useless.
But Wufu was firm in her decision to go, and he couldnāt change her mind, so he could only prepare a team for her.
Wufu couldnāt take Xiao Changsheng to the Northern Region. If she insisted on taking him along, Hua Wushuang might just fight her over it.
And Wufu herself didnāt want the little one to endure the hardships of traveling.
"In two months, when the weather cools, you can bring Changsheng to Beiyan," Wufu said to Hua Wushuang.
Hua Wushuang said, "I canāt promise you that. We have to wait until heās physically stronger."
Wufu gave a sideways glare: "Youāre not planning to stay in Quanzhou with Changsheng once Iām gone, are you?"
Hua Wushuang did have that thought, saying, "If possible, it wouldnāt be badāafter all, heās still young and frail, constantly changing locations isnāt good for him." Seeing Wufuās face grow darker, he quickly added, "Once heās healthier, Iāll take him to you."
Wufu snorted.
"Iām his actual uncle; Iāll rely on him in the future. Would I harm him?" Hua Wushuang said with a smile, albeit helplessly, "Rest assured, once heās stronger, Iāll bring him to find you!"
"You better keep your word," Wufu crossed her arms.
"Take care in the Northern Region; Iāve heard itās not very peaceful." Hua Wushuang handed her an iron tag, saying, "Take this tag. In the Northern Region, Eagle Hall has some manpower; you can contact Meiās Grocery Store."
Wufu raised an eyebrow, took the tag, glanced at it. It had intricate patterns on it. She put it in her bosom: "Thanks."
Hua Wushuang said, "I thought you wouldnāt want it!"
"Am I stupid?" Wufu rolled her eyes, saying, "Knowing itās not peaceful, why wouldnāt I take more measures for safety? Iām proud, but not arrogant."
"Good to know." Hua Wushuang looked at her and said, "Be careful; donāt send someone to ask me to collect your body."
"Ugh!" Wufu spat in mock disgust, "Only today did I realize youāre so sharp-tongued. Canāt you say something nice?"
Despite her words, Wufu felt warmth flowing through her heart; his sharpness came from concern.
She looked at Xiao Changsheng in Hua Wushuangās arms, her gaze softened, touching his little face, murmured, "Iāll leave Changsheng in your care."
"Donāt worry." Hua Wushuang looked down at the little one, quietly yawning in his arms, his eyes soft and tender, this was his life.
Wufu knew Hua Wushuang would do everything to protect him, so she said no more, bent down to kiss the little oneās forehead, then turned and mounted her horse.
She was never one to drag things out.
"Be careful in everything, your lifeās a priority." Hua Wushuang couldnāt help but shout.
Wufu raised her hand: "See you in Beiyan."
With a flick of the whip, several fine horses galloped away. Hua Wushuang watched as she vanished from sight, let out a sigh, as if lamenting a daughter who couldnāt be kept.
"Ah."
Hua Wushuang heard Changshengās grunt and smiled: "Luckily, I still have you, little one. Come, Uncle will play with you!"
