“You’re here.” Shi Yuan stood up straight and smiled.
“Uncle!” His niece and nephews immediately ran over, wanting to cling themselves to Shi Che’s body.
Shi Che bent down to hug them and carried them.
Empress Tuoba smiled gently and said, “Your brother was just talking about you. He asked if he should invite you to the palace for a meal. However, he was afraid that you might want to take a break on your own since it’s such a rare opportunity to be away from work.”
Shi Che picked up the little princess and let her sit on his arm. He smiled. “Thank you for thinking of me. You have a lot of love for family.”
“Yes, he does.” It was rare for Empress Tuoba to agree.
“I understand. I won’t bother about you guys anymore.” Shi Yuan smiled.
“Brother, you always say that but when have we ever felt like you were a bother to us?” Shi Che laughed. “You are the emperor of Da Chen. I think you should put yourself first. Which Emperor would never put himself first and instead put us, his relatives, first?”
Shi Yuan only smiled and did not say anything.
After chatting for a while, they entered the bedroom
Empress Tuoba brought the children to play outside, while Shi Yuan and Shi Che played chess on the brick bed under the window.
Shi Yuan played with the white pieces, while Shi Che was on the black side.
Thinking of the matter he was reported to, Shi Che placed a black stone on the chessboard and smiled, “By the way, when I was on my way here, I heard the owner of the bank report that a young couple surnamed Xuanyuan exchanged five thousand gold to fifty-thousand silver from Treasure Bank in Yaoshui Town, Dianhe County, in Lizhou. There was no word carved on the gold, so they were of unknown origin. At that time, the shopkeeper also sent someone to follow them, but they lost them. The surname Xuanyuan must be fake.”
“Xuanyuan…” When Shi Yuan heard this surname, his expression became a little absent-minded and he could not help but mutter. In his previous life, the two Emperors he served had the surname Xuanyuan… In the end, he even died in the hands of an Emperor surnamed Xuanyuan and drank the poisoned wine that was given to him…
“Brother? Brother?” Shi Che called out twice, but he didn’t get any response from his brother. He reached out and pushed him gently. “Brother, what’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” Shi Yuan returned to his senses and smiled.
He looked at his younger brother in this life, then at his wife and children in this life. In his previous life, he did not have a younger brother, nor did he have a wife and children…
However, in his previous life, he did not protect anyone in his family. In this life, he managed to protect everyone that mattered to him.
However, the family in this life was no longer the family in his previous life.
He would often dream of his family in his previous life, then wake up with a start and sit there for the whole night. Would his family members in his previous life be as lucky as him, reborn in another world, being with another person, and living well…
…
In Da Ling…
In the morning, Jiang Yue and the others went to Xue Dagui’s house for dinner. At noon, they went to Xue Daxi’s house to visit relatives — and had dinner.
Since they were going to have dinner at her house that night, which was not in Locust Village but on the other side of Peace Town, everyone went to her house in the afternoon.
Naturally, they had to pass by Peace Town.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan found an excuse to stay in Peace Town for a while. They took a lot of flour from the grain warehouse in Peace Town and put it into the space.
This flour was going to be used to post the missing person notice in Da Chen. Wherever the missing person notice was posted, they would hire people to boil it into paste and post it.
