The three little fellows had big red flowers tied up on their heads. They had defined eyebrows, two large lumps of red rouge on their faces, and a pair of fiery red lips that almost reached their ears. Coupled with their red and green clothes, even the Second Prince, who was not afraid of demons and could not help but tremble.
The little fat ball that was originally lying in Yu Wan’s arms fell down in fright when it saw the three little fellows.
It was too f*cking blinding…
Yu Wan did not expect that her mother would ruin the three little fellows so quickly. Should she be grateful that her mother didn’t laugh like a pig with the little fellows because there were guests around?
In the room, Madam Jiang opened her mouth.
Yu Wan: “Mom.”
Madam Jiang shut her mouth resentfully.
Yu Wan brought the little fellows to the backyard to wash their faces. After washing up, the little fellows revealed their original appearance. Their exquisite facial features were impeccable, and their face was indescribably beautiful. This was simply… simply…
A name appeared in Yan Huaijing’s mind.
He shuddered!
Age, appearance, and triplets. All of them matched. No one would believe that they weren’t Yan Jiuchao’s children. However, why would his children appear in Miss Yu’s house?
Could it be that they had already—
“Young Master Xu.” Yu Wan interrupted his thoughts. “I’ve changed the prescription. Continue applying the ointment. He can stop taking the medicine, but he needs to take a medicinal bath once a day.”
Yan Huaijing took the prescription that Yu Wan had written. Looking at the beautiful handwriting on the rough paper, he found it hard to believe that it came from a village girl.
That person had brought a nanny with her at that time. She was dressed extraordinarily and must be a decent girl.
“Who… who did you learn the words from?” Yan Huaijing asked.
Yu Wan had never seriously practiced calligraphy before. They were all from the Host. However, she did not remember who the Host learned it from. The only thing she could be sure of was that the Host was illiterate before she disappeared.
“Why? Is my handwriting not good enough?” Yu Wan cleverly avoided his question.
Yan Huaijing heard her avoidance and tactfully stopped asking.
Yu Wan lowered her head and hugged the little fat ball on the ground.
Yan Huaijing’s gaze landed on the top of her head. After she stood up, he put down the prescription and walked towards her.
Yu Wan had just picked up the little fat ball when she felt a darkness above her head. A tall and mighty figure enveloped her, and a faint fragrance similar to ambergris lingered at the tip of her nose.
Yan Huaijing reached out and gently reached out to Yu Wan. Just as he was about to touch her, the three little lads suddenly squeezed in and blocked Yu Wan behind them. They raised their heads and looked at him covetously!
Yan Huaijing’s hand froze.
“What’s wrong?” Yu Wan asked as she looked at his frozen hand.
Yan Huaijing opened his mouth. “You… have leaves on your head.”
Yu Wan raised her hand and touched a tender green leaf on her bun.
The little ones walked to the door in unison and pushed it open with all their might.
Dabao used his little butt to hit the door.
Yan Huaijing was stunned. Just as he was about to speak, Er’bao and Xiaobao ran past him. Er’bao stood on his tiptoes and touched the prescription on the table. Without hesitation, he stuffed it into his left hand.
Yan Huaijing was stunned again.
Xiaobao grabbed the little fat ball’s tail again and lifted it up before decisively stuffing it into his right hand.
The chasing team looked at him in disdain. Okay, you can go now!
Yan Huaijing : “…”
When Yan Huaijing carried the little fat ball back to the carriage, Jun Chang’an couldn’t help but ask, “So soon?” He pretended not to see that the noble Second Prince had been chased out by a few little fellows who had not stopped weaning.
Jun Chang’an gloated. “Is there a time when His Highness is despised?”
Yan Huaijing’s face darkened. What happened to pretending not to see it?
The little fat ball looked at Yan Huaijing resentfully, as if it was blaming him for preventing it from rubbing her chest. The little fat ball bit off the small iron cage and entered without looking back.
“Young Master, can we go now?” The coachman asked.
“Let’s go,” Yan Huaijing said.
The coachman waved his horsewhip, and the wheels slowly turned.
Yan Huaijing looked through the gap in the carriage window at the three children in the central room. Yu Wan bent down and said something to them. The three little fellows lowered their heads shyly, looking guilty and afraid, but the slyness in their eyes could not be hidden.
Yu Wan looked at them solemnly. “Don’t do this again, understand?”
The three little guys nodded.
“Good boys.” Yu Wan rubbed their little heads and the three of them pounced into Yu Wan’s arms. No matter how one looked at it, this scene made them feel warm and happy.
That woman…
The image of the woman kneeling down to look at him in the heavy rain flashed across Yan Huaijing’s mind again.
If her child was born, it would be this big.
“Chang’an.”
“What are your orders, Your Highness?”
“Go find an experienced nanny.”
“What kind of experience?” Jun Chang’an asked.
“Sexuality,” Yan Huaijing said.
When the princes reached an age, palace maids would be arranged to teach them. Worthy Consort Xu had also sent one to Yan Huaijing’s bedroom, but Yan Huaijing had rejected her with the excuse of mourning.
Had the Second Prince finally thought it through and was about to end his virginity?
“Your Highness, it’s better to let the palace maids handle such matters. The nanny is already old. Don’t you think your taste is too strong?” Jun Chang’an couldn’t bear it and asked.
Yan Huaijing glanced at him coldly and gritted his teeth. “Find one that can tell if a woman has given birth or not!”
Jun Chang’an: “Oh, you still want to have children with the nanny.”
Yan Huaijing : “…”
… .
After Yan Huaijing left, there were finally no more guests from the Yu residence. The workshop had been running for many days, and the villagers were exhausted. Yu Wan gave them two days off.
“It won’t affect business, right?” The village headman asked worriedly. He didn’t come to the workshop to work, but the entire village had no land and was relying on the Yu family’s workshop to live. He was more nervous about the workshop’s business than the Yu family.
Yu Wan smiled and said, “Business is good. Don’t worry.”
The current focus was still the competition. They would only sign the supply agreement after the competition. At that time, they would not be able to rest even if they wanted to.
When he heard that business was good, the village headman was relieved. “It just so happens that I also want to bring the villagers to take a look at how to get the land done. We still have to plant something next year.”
Be it vegetables or rice, they were still villagers after all. The fields could not remain barren forever.
“Actually…” Yu Wan paused.
“Tell me.” The village headman thought highly of Yu Wan now. Every word she said made him feel concerned.
Yu Wan thought for a while and said, “I’ve gone up the mountain before. After the earthquake, the terrain on the mountain has also changed, but it hasn’t become bad. Instead, it’s better. Should we consider opening up the land? There’s a stream at the back of the mountain. It’s like a natural fish pond. The soil at the back of the mountain is fertile and there are many crops that can be planted.”
Walnuts, persimmons, pears, wild vegetables, grapes… More than ten varieties appeared in Yu Wan’s mind. She had seen her aunt plant them when she was young. If her aunt could plant them, she and her fellow villagers could too.
“This…” In the past, the village headman would never have thought of going up the mountain. However, the current situation was special, so he had no choice but to make more plans for the village. “Just the few of us? Is it enough to open the land?” He agreed with Yu Wan’s suggestion.
Yu Wan said, “We can hire someone!”
“Huh?” The village headman was surprised.
Yu Wan smiled. “Have you forgotten? We’re still doing business. When we earn money, we can go out and invite people back to open up the land.”
H-hiring people to open up the land? The village headman had never even thought of such a bold thing! In the village headman’s opinion, they were the only ones who worked as laborers for others.
Yu Wan did not just say it on a whim. She had seriously considered it. In the eyes of outsiders, Lotus Flower Village was the most remote and desolate village. However, in Yu Wan’s opinion, they were living by the mountains and by the river. It was simply like living in a cornucopia. If they did not develop it well, it would be a waste.
Moreover, this did not conflict with the tofu business. Instead, it could diversify and develop, allowing their business chain to expand.
Yu Wan looked at the endless mountains and said, “Village headman, I want our village to become the number one village in Lotus Flower Town!”
The village headman’s jaw almost dropped. “Num-number one?” They were already the last.
The village headman’s heart heated up from Yu Wan’s words. Their fertile fields had been destroyed and they were almost starving from hunger. However, Ah Wan told him that she wanted the village to become the richest village in Lotus Flower Town. Was this really possible?
… .
The Yu family already knew that the three little fellows had been separated from their families. Last night, Madam Jiang had brought the little fellows to eat at the old residence.
Little Bruiser, Zhenzhen, and the three little fellows sat at the table and ate the brown sugar cake in big mouthfuls. Breakfast was made by Aunt. She wasn’t as particular as Uncle when it came to cooking, but she had put in a lot of effort into this meal. There were sesame seeds on the brown sugar cake and a few seedless red dates that was embedded in it.
The three little fellows sat on the small stool and ate heartily. From time to time, Yu Wan would feed them some porridge.
Yu Wan looked at the way they ate and was more satisfied than if she had eaten herself.
Little Bruiser: “Sis, aren’t you going to feed me?”
Yu Wan: “How old are you?”
Little Bruiser felt hopeless. “You don’t love me anymore.”
Yu Wan : “…”
After dinner, Yu Wan told her family about Uncle’s leg treatment in the Capital.
The Yu family had no objections. The competition was temporarily put on hold, and the workshop was temporarily closed. Instead of idling at home, it was better to go to the Capital to try their luck.
“That old doctor was a military doctor last time. He’s very good at treating external injuries.” Yu Wan remembered the doctor from Baozhi Hall. The doctor was quite confident.
“Go,” Aunt said.
Uncle hesitated.
Yu Wan understood what he was worried about. After being disappointed time and time again, he no longer dared to have any hope. However, Yu Wan did not want to give up. If it wasn’t for Uncle, she would be the one crippled now. She wasn’t treating Uncle’s injuries, but herself.
“Then… then we’ll go,” Uncle said.
Yu Song went to Shuanzi’s house to drive the ox cart over. Yu Wan helped her uncle up. When the three little lads saw her get into the carriage, they also scrambled onto the ox cart.
Yu Wan endured the pain and said, “Alright, if I meet your father, I’ll send you back.”
The confused little munchkins: “…” Was it too late to jump off now?
They changed carriages in town. Yu Song drove the ox cart back. Yu Wan and Yu Feng accompanied Uncle and the little ones to the Baozhi Hall in the Capital.
After a month, Baozhi Hall’s business had improved.
“You guys sit in the carriage. I’ll go to the queue.” After Yu Feng finished speaking, he queued up behind the long line. From the looks of it, it would only be their turn in the afternoon.
Yu Wan touched her waist. “I left the food that Aunt prepared on the ox cart. What do you want to eat later, Uncle? I’ll go buy it.”
“I’m not hungry.” Uncle had no appetite.
The coachman said, “There’s a shop selling mutton paomo in the alley over there. It tastes good!”
“Slurp~” The three little lads drooled.
Uncle smiled. “Then let’s buy mutton paomo.”
They did not lack the money to buy a few bowls of mutton paomo now. Besides, even if they didn’t have money, they could not make the children suffer.
Yu Wan jumped off the carriage and carried the three little lads down.
She held Dabao’s hand with one hand, and Dabao held Er’bao’s hand. She held Xiaobao’s hand with the other hand and walked towards Yu Feng. “Big Brother, I’ll go buy mutton paomo.”
Yu Feng said with a pained expression, “I just need paomo.”
I knew you’d say that, but if I buy it, how can you not eat it? Yu Wan lowered her eyes to hide the mischief that flashed across her eyes. She held the three little fellows’ hands and walked towards the alley the coachman pointed at.
Although her clothes were simple, she was naturally beautiful. She also held three identical and adorable fellows. As she walked, she attracted the attention of countless passersby.
The mutton paomo was a stall, and the stall was set up by a family of four. There was an old couple and their son and daughter-in-law. The stall was very clean, and the mutton was very fresh. The soup emitted a faint mutton tart smell, but there was also the fragrance of sauce and spring onions.
“Five bowls should be enough.” Yu Wan came to the stall. “How much is the mutton soup?”
The old couple was busy chopping mutton. The young couple was making soup and collecting the silver.
When the young couple saw them, they were first shocked. The young woman said, “Twenty-five copper coins for a small bowl, thirty copper coins for a big bowl, and three copper coins for a paomo.”
This price was really much higher than in town. Even the extravagant Yu Wan felt her heart ache.
The three little lads raised their heads in unison. Act cute, act cute, act cute!
“Aiya.” The young woman’s heart was about to melt. “I charge you two copper coins less for the mutton soup. I’ll give you two paomo for free.”
They successfully helped Yu Wan save sixteen copper coins.
Yu Wan paid the copper coins and was about to bring the first bowl to her uncle when a carriage stopped her.
“Miss, look! Isn’t that the little masters?” It was Lychee’s voice.
After the little masters disappeared, the Yan Manor was mobilized. Even Yan Ruyu took a carriage and searched for them for the entire night. She thought that her hopes were slim, but who knew that she would find them without any effort? She actually miraculously met them on the way to the Young Master Manor to confess and ask for help!
This was really great!
Yan Ruyu put on a veil to cover her haggard face and got off the carriage with a cold expression. She had long obtained clues from Mrs. Yan. The person who attacked Mrs. Yan was a woman. Although Mrs. Yan did not see her face clearly, she heard her disdainful snort. That voice was very young.
It must have been that young woman who ambushed her mother and took away the three children.
“I want to see who has the guts to touch the General Manor!” Yan Ruyu hurried forward and was instantly dumbfounded. “It’s you?”
“Yan Ruyu?” Yu Wan was also a little dumbfounded. Did she have something against Yan Ruyu? How could they meet like this?
The three little lads grabbed Yu Wan’s hand.
Yan Ruyu’s eyes turned cold. “Come to Mom.”
The three little lads shrank behind Yu Wan in fear.
Mom? Is this young lady the mother of the triplets? But no matter how she looked at it, she felt that that girl was more like a mother… The young woman at the mutton stall couldn’t help but mutter in her heart.
“Aren’t you going to listen to me? Come here!”
The three of them resisted, and Yan Ruyu’s dignity was swept to the ground. She suppressed her anger and said, “Aren’t you going to listen to your mother? Come here!”
Yu Wan looked at her coldly. “Don’t be fierce to them!”
“What does it have to do with you if I teach my sons?” Yan Ruyu said as she roughly reached out to grab the child beside Yu Wan.
Aren’t you afraid of hurting the child?! Yu Wan grabbed her wrist.
Yan Ruyu struggled twice but could not break free. She glared at Yu Wan angrily. “How dare you! It’s not enough to die a hundred times for what you’ve done. I haven’t even settled the score with you, but you’re getting more and more arrogant!”
Yu Wan retorted angrily, “What did I do? It was clearly you who couldn’t take care of the children, but in the end, you vented your anger on the children. Is there a mother like you? Are you their biological mother?!”
Yan Ruyu was even more furious after being poked on the sore spot. “What a sharp-tongued wild girl. It seems that if I don’t teach you a lesson today, you won’t know the immensity of heaven and earth! Men! Slap her mouth!”
