Chapter 1079: Joy Chapter 1079: Joy Editor: Atlas Studios By the time Fan Zijin received Little Madam Xia’s note, Qi Haoran had already left the city with his wife and children.

Fan Zijin ran over without even combing his hair.

Little Madam Xia stood in front of him obediently and lowered her head in silence.

Fan Zijin was so angry that he asked Yanmo to bring some men to chase after them.

He almost pointed at Zhu Liang’s nose as he reprimanded, “The army set off at six o’clock, and he left at four o’clock.

Didn’t it occur to you that something was amiss?” Zhu Liang wiped his cold sweat and said, “Your Highness, I really don’t know about this.

Why would His Highness explain things to me?” “I don’t believe he didn’t ask you to make arrangements for the departure of the mistress of the family.” Zhu Liang shook his head firmly.

He really had no idea!

Fan Zijin could not help but stomp his feet.

“Is he so certain that I’ll take good care of the Prince’s estate, so he left without any worries?

I refuse.

Hurry up and tell him that the moment he leaves, I’ll sell his sons to a human trafficker.

Make sure to bring Mu Yangling back here.

Do you hear me?” Seeing that her husband was so furious that he was speaking without thinking, Little Madam Xia shrank her presence again, wishing she could become one with the cabinet behind her.

After Fan Zijin finished scolding Zhu Liang, he turned around and glared at Little Madam Xia.

She scolded, “You’re another stupid one.

Since you sensed that something was wrong, why didn’t you stop her?

You even had a servant bring me a note.

You should have caused a commotion back then.

With the close proximity of the two residences, I would have heard about it if there was a commotion.

Would they have been able to leave then?” Fan Zijin was so angry that he had lost his mind.

For the time being, he did not realize that Little Madam Xia was deliberately indulgent.

He only felt that she was too stupid and did not take the right approach.

Little Madam Xia said meekly, “You’re also aware of Ah Ling’s ability.

I only brought a few servant girls and maidservants over.

Not to mention making a fuss, if I so much as shouted, I’m afraid my voice would’ve been muffled before I could make a sound.

Our two residences are not far apart, but we live in the inner estate.

This Prince’s estate is so big.

No matter how big a commotion I make, it won’t spread out.

Besides, I’m not capable of making a fussaEUR|” Fan Zijin covered his head and said in frustration, “I’m stupid too.

Seeing as they’re about to part, the husband and wife must have plenty to say to each other before bidding farewell.

Why would she ask you over to stay at such a time?

It’s obvious that there was something fishy going on.

I was clearly suspicious, but I didn’t think to ask.” Little Madam Xia asked weakly, “Then what should we do about this?

His Majesty doesn’t know yet.” Fan Zijin gritted his teeth and stood up.

“He only brought 5,000 elite soldiers, and they’re all cavalrymen.

As he doesn’t need His Majesty to send him off, it’s very easy for him to set off in advance.

At this moment, I’m afraid they’re already preparing to move.

Even if I chase after them, it’s impossible for Ah Ling to return.

Once the army sets off, they can’t turn back.

Otherwise, it’d be a bad omen.

Even His Majesty won’t allow this.

Ah Ling is definitely going to the front line.” “ThenaEUR|” “Well, either you bring the children to the Duke’s Residence or we move over.

There are only four children in the Prince’s Residence now.

Are we going to let them live alone?” Fan Zijin snapped angrily.

“I’ll talk to His Majesty at dawn.” Qi Haoran had left a mess for Fan Zijin, but despite his tough words, he was extremely soft-hearted and had no choice but to clean up after them.

After sulking for a while, Fan Zijin stood up.

“Stay behind and take care of the children.

Don’t let them cry too much.

If you can’t make them stop crying, bring them out to play.

In short, don’t let them remember that their parents aren’t at home.” It was as if he wasn’t the one who had heartlessly threatened to sell the Qi children to the human trafficker just a moment ago.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Little Madam Xia nodded eagerly.

Fan Zijin did not notice Little Madam Xia’s expression and turned to leave.

When the Emperor heard the news, he sat on the bed for a long time.

Seeing that Fan Zijin was so angry that his hair was not combed properly, he chuckled and said, “Alright, we’re the ones who will suffer if we get mad at that kid.

If they want to go, just let them.” Fan Zijin heaved a sigh of relief and interceded for them.

“Your Majesty, Haoran is a sentimental person.

He must want to go back with Sister-in-law to revisit the place where he used to live.

After all, we’ve lived in the north for a long timeaEUR|” Qi Xiuyuan nodded with a smile.

“I know.

It’s just that I pity Tiger Head and the others, especially Little Leopard and Baozhu.

At only two years old, they’re highly dependent on their parents.

Get Little Madam Xia to take care of them more.

If they cry too hard, send them to the palace.

I remember that Baozhu and Mingzhu get along very well.

Let Mingzhu coax her when the time comes.” Fan Zijin observed Qi Xiuyuan carefully.

Seeing that he was smiling and did not seem angry at all, he finally felt relieved.

After Fan Zijin left, Qi Xiuyuan slowly wiped the smile off his face and muttered, “No wonder he suggested going over Taihang Mountain.

So that’s what he was planning.

This brataEUR|” At this moment, Mu Yangling and the others were already five kilometers away from the capital.

As the 5,000 elite soldiers were all cavalrymen, they were moving at a rapid pace.

When Yanmo caught up, he only had time to say a few words to Qi Haoran.

Not to mention persuading him, just as he was done, Qi Haoran took out a letter and handed it to him.

“Yanmo, you know that Her Highness can’t possibly go back.

Take this letter back and you’ll be fine.” The speeches that Yanmo had mentally prepared along the way were immediately rendered useless.

Speechless, he took the letter.

Before leaving, he couldn’t help but ask Fei Bai, “What if I don’t show up?” Fei Bai chuckled and said, “If you hadn’t come, this letter would naturally have been sent back by a messenger from the relay station.

However, our master is 99% confident that you would have come.” That was true.

Their master had always been a little irrational when facing Prince Rong; only Prince Rong could lead Duke Fan by the nose.

Yanmo stuffed the letter into his arms and mounted his horse.

After glancing at Prince Rong, the Princess Consort, and the young Prince in front of him, he said in a low voice, “Congratulations!” This time, Fei Bai was not following Qi Haoran as a manservant, but as a lieutenant.

Once he reached the frontlines, he would be able to lead troops into battle independently.

As long as he achieved military merits, he would definitely be able to become a third-grade general when he returned.

As a slave, he’d not lived in vain having achieved so much.

Fei Bai smiled and said in a low voice, “Didn’t the Duke arrange a path for you too?” Yanmo smiled smugly and bumped fists with him.

“You have to come back alive.” Fei Bai nodded and the two of them separated.

Yanmo went back to report while Fei Bai returned to Qi Haoran’s side.

Qi Haoran said to Mu Yangling smugly, “Don’t worry.

No matter how angry Zijin is, he will help us smooth things over.” “You’re so confident that Zijin will help us clean up our mess, huh?” “I helped him tooaEUR|” Mu Yangling was worried.

“I wonder if Little Leopard and the others will cry.” Qi Haoran stopped talking.

He, too, was worried about the four children.

However, at Prince Rong’s Residence in the capital.

Tiger Head and Little Lion pushed open their parents’ room and ran back and forth.

After confirming that their parents had really left, they couldn’t help but jump up and cheer.

“Father and Mother have really left!” Hearing this, Little Leopard and Baozhu clapped their hands and happily walked around the room.

“Go play!

Go play!” As of now, Little Leopard and Baozhu could only say two simple words.

They went forward and grabbed their older brother’s hand, then dragged him out with all their might as they shouted, “Go play, go playaEUR|” Spring and Winter looked at the four children speechlessly.

Before the Princess Consort left, she was still worried that the young masters would cry.

At this moment, the two of them only wanted to tell the Princess Consort that she was thinking too much.

The young masters couldn’t wait for her to leave!
