After An Jiuyue carried Qian Yirong up, Qian Yiyun quickly reached out, wanting to hold him in her arms. She wanted to comfort him to atone for not watching over him carefully.
“Sister-in-law, let me carry Rong’er.”
An Jiuyue looked up and glanced at her. She dodged her hand while hugging her son.
“No need for that.”
I can’t go overboard because she’s their biological auntie, but I still don’t want her to touch Rong’er.
“I’ll carry him myself. Zheng’er, come and accompany Rong’er back to the room.”
She held Qian Yizheng’s hand with one hand and carried Qian Yirong with the other arm. She reached the top of the stairs and walked by Qian Yiyun before returning to the two children’s room.
“Sister-in-law…”
Qian Yiyun turned around and looked at An Jiuyue’s back. There were thousands of words in her heart, but she could not utter a single of them.
An Jiuyue had repeatedly instructed her to stay in the treehouse before she went to the forest with her brother. However, she insisted on bringing the two little ones to play hide-and-seek in the forest.
She felt she deserved to be taught a lesson—An Jiuyue must have thought so too.
If I’m not their aunt, I might be chased away!
“Big Brother, I…”
“Go boil some water. Rong’er needs a bath.”
Qian Jiyun knew very well that An Jiuyue would not allow him to touch Qian Yirong, let alone anyone else.
Hence, he gave his sister some things to do so she would not disturb An Jiuyue and the two children.
…
“Mother…”
After returning to his room, Qian Yirong could no longer hold back his emotions and started crying.
After all, he was still a child. He had never encountered a situation like that before. He had been frightened and thought he would not survive.
Qian Yizheng started crying as well. The two brothers sat on An Jiuyue’s left and right and hugged each other as they cried.
An Jiuyue did not look well either. She hugged the two children tightly.
Countless thoughts crossed her mind. She knew she had to be held most accountable for this matter. She should not have confidently left the children at home.
If she had not gone into the forest, the two boys would definitely be around her. Wang Xing’er would not have the opportunity to capture them.
She patted their backs and coaxed them, “Be good. I’ll bring you along wherever I go in the future. Don’t cry. Don’t cry.”
It took a while to coax them.
After that, she thought about how Qian Yirong came into contact with Wang Xing’er, who was infected with the disease. Everyone in the family would be implicated.
Her head hurt at the thought of this. This was really troublesome.
“Wei Na, what do you think I should do now?”
Things at home were a mess. It was difficult for her to do anything with five children around.
But it was impossible to revolve her whole life around the five children and not do anything else, right?
“Master, you can unlock a courtyard house in the microcosmic space and use your points to exchange for a few attendants to serve you,” Wei Na suggested.
An Jiuyue’s eyes lit up.
It was necessary to buy a house, and she had considered this before. She could even rest inside her microcosmic space when she went out in the future.
However, she had never considered exchanging points for a few attendants to serve her.
