Lu Wanqing was truly unaware of Zhongli Yixiao’s little thoughts this time. She felt the child was clinging to her even more and was overjoyed.
However, at the same time, Lu Wanqing thought of the other two children. If Xiao Mulán was so worried about her, what about Xiao Cuicui and Xiao Shushu?
Thinking this, Lu Wanqing released the two children and said, "Lanlan, Xiaoyi, you play in the living room for a while. Mommy is going upstairs to contact Cui Cui and Shushu, and let them know that Mommy is safe and has returned, okay?"
"Okay," Xiao Mulán was the first to respond.
Xiao Zhongli Yi looked at Brother Lanlan. After a moment of hesitation, he also agreed, "Mhm!"
Lu Wanqing ruffled the fluffy heads of the two little ones on either side, then stood up and went upstairs.
To contact her two obedient daughters, Lu Wanqing was actually a little nervous. She organized her thoughts in her mind before making the call.
While Lu Wanqing was on the second floor making the call, downstairs, Xiao Zhongli Yi and Xiao Mulán sat together. Xiao Zhongli Yi was quiet, but Xiao Mulán couldn't stay still. Mommy had been away for a while, and it was dangerous. He was very curious about what Mommy had been doing.
"Xiaoyi, what did you and Mommy do when she took you out this time?" Xiao Mulán was different from Xiao Zhongli Yi. Especially after Lu Wanqing's care, the child became more cheerful. He was curious, so he asked, his voice milky and his tone serious, which was somewhat endearing.
The other members of the Mu family also unconsciously pricked up their ears. To be honest, everyone was curious. Where had Lu Wanqing been all this time? Where did she find Zhongli Feiyu?
Actually, everyone was still very shocked about this matter. The incident was too big, and the opponent was clearly targeting the Zhongli family, and even them. The Mu family had previously suspected that Zhongli Feiyu might be in grave danger this time, and even the Zhongli family might not be able to hold on. The Seventh Legion was doomed!
But who could have imagined it?
Lu Wanqing actually found Zhongli Feiyu!
Not only did she find him, but he looked completely unharmed!
The subsequent outcome could almost be predicted. The Zhongli family was about to make a comeback, and the Fourth Legion would likely face trouble too!
How much credit did Lu Wanqing have for all this to go so smoothly? Everyone was extremely curious.
Xiao Zhongli Yi usually didn't talk much, but when it came to Mommy, especially in front of Xiao Mulán, he couldn't help but talk about his and Mommy's experiences.
Xiao Zhongli Yi wanted Xiao Mulán to know that Mommy loved him too, that Mommy didn't just like Xiao Mulán and dislike him, that Mommy was very good to him, and that he and Mommy had many wonderful memories.
Xiao Zhongli Yi's personality was not as lively as Xiao Mulán's, but his logical thinking was clearly stronger. The little fellow recounted their experiences in an orderly fashion.
As Xiao Mulán listened to these experiences, his eyes widened. He was happy one moment and curious the next, as if he were listening to a story!
Especially when he heard what Lu Wanqing had done, Xiao Mulán would act like a little flatterer, his eyes always sparkling, and he would exclaim happily, "Mommy is so amazing!"
When Xiao Mulán praised her, Xiao Zhongli Yi naturally wouldn't be outdone. He would pause his "storytelling" and chime in, "Mhm, Mommy is very amazing!"
After finishing, Xiao Zhongli Yi would continue. He recounted their experiences bit by bit. Especially later, when Lu Wanqing built a mecha herself and sold it on the black market, earning money to treat Daddy, which allowed Daddy to return so quickly. After he finished, this time, he didn't wait for Xiao Mulán to praise her first. He transformed into Mommy's praise machine and rushed to say, "Mommy is incredibly, incredibly amazing!"
The eyes of both children sparkled with adoration for their mother. They both felt their Mommy was great and incredibly powerful!
But the Mu family adults, who were secretly eavesdropping nearby, were shocked. Was this really how it happened?
The children could only feel that Mommy was amazing and had done so much. But the adults thought differently.
They couldn't help but wonder, if Lu Wanqing and Xiao Zhongli Yi hadn't found Zhongli Feiyu so quickly, would it have taken Zhongli Feiyu some more time to realize he was Zhongli Feiyu? If Zhongli Feiyu realized his identity and continued to save money for treatment and recovery of his memory...
Not to mention, treating illness in the black market was extremely costly. If Lu Wanqing hadn't made mechas to sell, and relied on Zhongli Feiyu hunting and selling a few mutated animals, with an income of tens to hundreds of star coins a day, how long would it take him to save enough money for treatment?
If Zhongli Feiyu's memory hadn't recovered so quickly, he wouldn't have been able to return so soon. Given the increasingly severe situation in the capital, with everyone pressuring the Zhongli family and the Marshal's Mansion for an explanation, even Marshal Zhongli would have found it difficult to hold on, wouldn't he?
In other words, Lu Wanqing's trip out had practically saved Zhongli Feiyu, the entire Zhongli family, and even the Seventh Legion, right?
However, these were just thoughts in their minds, and they didn't say them out loud. After all, those who should understand, understood.
Lu Wanqing finished her calls to Xiao Cuicui and Xiao Yushu, comforted the two little ones, and then came downstairs. She returned to the living room and found everyone looking at her, which made her a little puzzled.
Lu Wanqing suspected there was something on her face. She couldn't help but touch her face and ask everyone, "Is there something on my face?"
Mu Sijie was the first to react. He quickly said, "No."
Everyone quickly looked away.
Wen Lan quickly said with a smile, "Wanqing, you are too amazing. We never expected you to be so outstanding."
Mu Sijie smiled and explained, "Xiaoyi just told us about your experiences during this time, including building and selling mechas to earn money to treat Zhongli Feiyu's memory. Wanqing, you did very well!"
So that was it?
Lu Wanqing chuckled and turned to look at Xiaoyi.
Seeing Mommy look at him, Xiao Zhongli Yi felt inexplicably nervous. He couldn't help but reveal everything just now. Would Mommy blame him?
Lu Wanqing saw the child's apprehension. She walked over, ruffled his hair, and praised, "Xiaoyi has grown up. He's learned to share his feelings with others. That's great!"
Xiao Zhongli Yi was stunned. He looked up at his mother in surprise. Didn't Mommy blame him?
"Mommy, I... I couldn't help myself just now," Xiao Zhongli Yi said, thinking.
Xiao Zhongli Yi had grown up in a military residential area and knew that many things couldn't be casually spoken about – they were military secrets. But he had really couldn't help himself just now. He had revealed everything because he really wanted Xiao Mulán to know that Mommy loved him too and was very good to him.
Lu Wanqing looked at the child's anxious eyes, ruffled his hair, and comforted him, "It's okay. It doesn't matter if this is revealed. We're back now, and it won't affect anything."
She and Zhongli Feiyu had returned. The previous matters didn't need to be kept secret anymore. It didn't matter whether it was revealed or not. On the contrary, Lu Wanqing was most happy that Xiaoyi had learned to express his emotions to others.
"Really?" Xiao Zhongli Yi asked, looking into his mother's eyes, a little uncertain. He was still a little uneasy.
"Of course, it's true," Lu Wanqing said with a smile.
If this matter couldn't be spoken of, Zhongli Feiyu would have definitely instructed her before he left. Moreover, they had returned so conspicuously. If others wanted to investigate, they could easily find out what they had done. This showed that Zhongli Feiyu had no intention of covering it up anymore. He should have sufficient evidence to prove his innocence, so there would be no problem.
