Chapter 2125 - 2127: Departure

The two little rascals started shouting again to suit Yang Chuxia’s words, "I want to see grandmother, I want to see grandmother..."

"Little Four wants to return to Funan, Little Four wants to return to Funan..."

The two children shouted loudly on either side.

Zhen’er was a bit troubled too. The children didn’t want to enter the palace, and she couldn’t force them to go. However, not taking them would disrupt the Empress’s plan to make friends with the Ye Family.

"Miss Zhen’er, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to go back and inform the Empress that the Ye Family thanks her for her care. We are immensely grateful for her kindness. Right now, my wife and I need to set off quickly, and in the future, once we return to the capital, my wife will enter the palace to personally thank the Empress."

Ye Zi’an came out and spoke a few words upon seeing this.

Zhen’er was not foolish; she naturally heard the implied meaning in Ye Zi’an’s words. The Ye Family understands the Empress’s intentions, and as a servant, it’s not her place to say much. Since Marquis Ye has accepted the Empress’s goodwill, her task is considered complete.

"Yes, as a servant, I shall definitely report Marquis Ye’s words to the Empress." After bowing, Zhen’er added, "I wish Marquis Ye, Madam Ye, and Lord Prince An a smooth journey! Goodbye!"

After Zhen’er left with her people, Yang Chuxia turned to look at the two kids, "You two are clever, aren’t you?"

These two children had never been to the palace, yet they knew it wasn’t good and didn’t want to go.

"Dad, hug..." Yueyue ignored everything else and continued reaching out to Ye Zi’an from Yang Qingrui’s arms.

"Dad, come back soon."

She clung to Ye Zi’an’s neck and urged.

"Alright, Dad will definitely be back before the New Year to spend it with my baby."

"Uh-huh." Yueyue nodded repeatedly and, seeing Yang Chuxia standing eagerly nearby, reached out again.

Yang Chuxia happily hugged the little one, not expecting her to say something that made her feel downcast.

"Mom, you have to take care of Dad!"

"..." Why isn’t it your dad taking care of me?

"Mom, did you hear me?"

"..." Child, who really is the parent between us?

"Alright, alright, let’s all go back now."

Ye Zi’an interrupted, "It’s getting late, we’re leaving now, hurry back."

"Wah..." Hearing this, the two little ones began crying loudly again.

Ye Zi’an quickly gave Yang Qingrui a look, and he and Yang Qingtong each picked up one child. Without giving them a chance to react, they quickly ran into Prince An’s Mansion.

"Let’s go, get on the carriage quickly." Ye Zi’an hurriedly lifted Lele into the carriage.

If they didn’t leave quickly, he feared he wouldn’t be able to resist bringing the two little ones along.

Yang Chuxia was slightly worried, "Can Qingrui and the others calm the two kids down?" She was mildly concerned as a child who is not fond of crying can be quite hard to soothe once they start.

"Don’t worry, the two little ones aren’t stupid. They know crying won’t help, so naturally they won’t keep crying."

Ye Zi’an indeed understood the children well. At that moment, the two kids at Prince An’s Mansion had stopped crying since entering, changing their mood as if flipping a switch.

"What are our next travel plans?"

"First, we’ll go to Shandong, from there we’ll take a boat directly to Zhejiang."

Yang Chuxia was a bit puzzled, "Aren’t we traveling by land? If we travel by water, won’t we avoid contact with people? How can we find any clues then?"

"Fool!"

Ye Zi’an scratched her head slightly, "Our journey is a secret mission this time, heading south by land might easily expose our movements."
