Yu Yunxi coughed awkwardly. She also knew that her action was a little too much.
At this time, Feng Yili had already finished cooking the wonton. He walked over to Yu Yunxi and the little bun with two big bowls of wontons. He looked at Yu Yunxi meaningfully before he said, “You must be starving. Eat first. There aren’t many ingredients left so you’ll have to make do with this.”
Yu Yunxi looked away stiffly when she heard this. There was really nothing she could do about her cooking skills. Fortunately, she only burnt the soup earlier. Otherwise, if the little bun ate it, she might lose an obedient and sensible son. “Why are there only two bowls? What about you?” Yu Yunxi asked in confusion.
“I’m not hungry,” Feng Yili replied in a deep voice.
“Huh? Not hungry? If you’re not hungry, why did you ask me to cook in the first place?” Yu Yunxi asked with a frown.
The little bun was speechless. He sighed inwardly, thinking, ‘Mother is really clueless…
After that, the little bun quickly said, “That’s because I’m hungry, Mother…”
‘Let’s not expose Father. Since Mother is so clueless, she can only rely on me, her sensible son…
Feng Yili naturally knew what the little bun was thinking. He chuckled before he looked at Yu Yunxi and said, “It’s because I knew you were hungry. You’ve been busy the entire day and barely ate anything. Although you didn’t say you were hungry, I knew you were hungry.”
Yu Yunxi raised an eyebrow. ‘As it turns out, he noticed I barely ate…’
“Eat. Try my cooking. I wonder if it’ll be to both your liking. Don’t worry. If you leave the King of Xinan’s Residence in the future, you don’t have to worry about food. I’ll be by your side,” Feng Yili continued to say.
Yu Yunxi was embarrassed when she heard this. She quickly lowered her head and ate the wontons silently.
‘Hmm? It’s quite delicious!’
Yu Yunxi suddenly raised her head and exchanged a look with the little bun. Both of them were surprised. She did not expect Feng Yili to have such culinary skills.
“Father, it’s delicious!”
The little bun was not stingy with his praise.
“It’s good that you find it delicious,” Feng Yili said as he looked at the little bun gently. At the same time, he thought it would be great if they could have such peaceful and warm days for the rest of their lives.
After another half a month had passed, the Emperor’s reply finally arrived. As Yu Yunxi expected, he agreed to their demands. When the new edict came, the sounds of drums and gongs rang thunderously. It was as though he could not wait to tell the world that they had defeated Nanyue and even captured their Crown Prince. It was also for the reasons that he did not care about Xinan’s demands.
At this moment, Jiang Ru held Yu Yunxi’s hand and asked worriedly, “Yunxi, are you really returning to the capital?”
“Yes. I can’t rest assured, letting other people escort Nan Xun back to the capital. Moreover, Feng Yili is also the Prince Regent… It’s not good for him to be away from the capital for so long. Since Junjin and I have decided to be with him, we can’t continue to stay in Xinan,” Yu Yunxi answered seriously.
After that, Yu Yunxi held Yu Junjin’s hand, and the both of them kneeled on the ground before she continued to say, “Godmother, Godfather, I’m forever grateful to both of you for helping me back then and for taking care of me all these years.”
The little bun said sincerely, “Grandfather, Grandmother, thank you for taking us in. If it weren’t for you, Mother and I would have nowhere to go. I might not even be able to come to this world. When I arrive in the capital, I’ll definitely get someone to send delicious food back to Xinan. I’ll miss both of you a lot.”
After saying that, the little bun even kowtowed heavily.
“Hurry up and get up…”
Jiang Ru and Shen Si’s eyes were both red. They were both naturally sad that the mother and son were leaving for the capital.
“Although I can’t bear to part with the both of you, there’s no meeting in this world that doesn’t come to an end. When you’re in the capital, don’t endure and suffer. Remember that you always have the support of the King of Xinan’s Residence. If that old Emperor dares to do anything to you, I’ll definitely lead my troops north,” Shen Si said loudly. He was the only one in Xinan who was qualified to say such words.
“Alright, Godfather, I’ll remember that,” Yu Yunxi said as her eyes turned red.
The warmth she had never received from Yu Zhongcheng, she received from Shen Si.
Jiang Ru said seriously, “Junjin, come here. When you arrive at the Prince Regent’s Residence in the capital, remember to write a letter to Grandmother if that old lady from the Ning family bullies you and your mother. Grandmother will go to the capital and avenge both of you.”
‘That woman from the Ning family liked to play tricks when she was young.
Who knows if she’ll bully Yunxi and Junjin?’
“Grandmother, Father is here,” the little bun whispered to Jiang Ru.
Jiang Ru looked at Feng Yili, who was sitting nearby, and said with a scoff, “So what if he hears me? Although he’s her son…”
Feng Yili kneeled down suddenly and said, “I, Feng Yili, promise to protect
Yunxi and Junjin…”
“You, you…”
Shen Si and Jiang Ru were shocked by Feng Yili’s actions.
The soldiers sent by the Emperor were waiting outside, and many people saw this scene. They were shocked as well when they saw Feng Yili kneeling down.
Yu Yunxi’s heart trembled slightly. She thought about it briefly, but she did not stop him.
Feng Yili remained calm and did not care about what the others thought. He said in a deep voice, “I’m also grateful to Godfather and Godmother for taking care of Yunxi and Junjin for so many years. I promise that I won’t let them suffer. Also, as long as I’m the Prince Regent, the imperial court will never have a chance to attack Xinan.”
“This…’
Shen Si and Jiang Ru looked at each other in surprise. Feng Yili’s promise was not light, after all. However, based on his expression, they could tell he was serious.
‘Perhaps it’s right to let Yunxi and Junjin follow him…
Shen Hezhi coughed a few times before he said, “Father, Mother, I want to go with Yunxi and Junjin.”
Shen Hezhi was worried about Yu Yunxi and the little bun returning to the capital.
However, Yu Yunxi refused immediately. “No. Brother, you just took the medicine. Your body is healing now. You must not overexert yourself. You can’t travel now.”
“But… ”
Shen Si interjected, “When you’re better, you can go to the capital and visit them.”
After that, Shen Si walked over to Feng Yili and helped the latter up before he said, “Get up. I believe you’ll treat Yunxi and Junjin well.”
After that, Shen Si said to Yu Yunxi in a low voice, “Yunxi, follow me to the study. I have something to tell you.”
“Yes, Godfather.
Shen Si did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point when they arrived at the study.
“Yunxi, do you remember how you came to Xinan?” Shen Si asked in a complicated tone.
“Godfather, you saved me and took me in because you were old friends with my mother,” Yu Yunxi quickly replied.
Shen Si shook his head and said, “No… The truth is… I don’t know your mother.”
“Godfather…
“I took you in because someone told me to…”
