The Yun family's servant was guarding the gate, and his eyes almost popped out of his head when he saw a familiar carriage coming.

After rubbing his eyes, he confirmed that the person riding on the horse was Prince Ling. Behind Prince Ling was the carriage that Shen Wan usually rode in. The servant quickly shouted to the mansion, "Hurry up and tell the old master and the old lady that Prince Ling and Princess Ling are here!"

The sound was so loud that Shen Wan could hear it while sitting in the carriage.

When the carriage stopped, the servant diligently helped to lift the footstool and found that not only Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan came, but also a young master named Tanghulu. He quickly added, "The young master is here too!"

It is no exaggeration to say that the entire Yun family was in an uproar due to the arrival of Shen Wan, Xie Jingyan and their child.

All the way from the main gate to Liushuang Courtyard, the maids and servants stretched their necks from afar, trying to see the baby prince, but no one dared to approach.

Halfway through the journey, Mrs. Yun Da and Mrs. Yun Er, who had received the news, came over, both with smiles on their faces.

Seeing Shen Wan, Madam Yun smiled from ear to ear, and did not forget to salute Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan before speaking, "Just now the old lady was saying that the patrol officers guarding outside Prince Ling's Mansion had withdrawn yesterday. She hasn't seen you for several months, and was planning to visit you in the next two days. I didn't expect you to come today, and bring your child with you..."

Children this young are generally not taken out.

Looking at the child, Madam Yun said to Shen Wan angrily, "Before coming, you didn't even send someone to say hello. This is the first time the young master has come to visit, and the Yun family has no preparation at all. This is outrageous."

Shen Wan smiled and said, "We came here on a whim. The emperor wanted to see Jin'er, so we came from the palace without saying hello. We just thought of it as a surprise for grandparents."

Madam Yun Er smiled and said, "It's really a pleasant surprise. The old lady's face is so bright that it's blooming with smiles."

Mrs. Yun Da and Mrs. Yun Er embraced Shen Wan and the child and walked towards Liushuang Courtyard.

A certain gentleman was walking behind him, and if he hadn't saluted him, he would have doubted whether he had seen him.

When they arrived at the gate of Liushuang Courtyard, they saw from afar a maid supporting Princess Qinghe over. Shen Wan noticed at a glance that Princess Qinghe had a bulging belly and knew that she was going to give birth in a few months.

Seeing that Princess Qinghe was walking fast, Madam Yun's heart was in her throat. What would happen if she accidentally fell?

Knowing that Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun were waiting to see the child, she just said hello and went into the yard together.

Inside the house, Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun frequently looked towards the screen, but several times they heard footsteps that turned out to be maids, and they were very disappointed. When they saw Shen Wan coming in with the child, Old Madam Yun dared to believe that the maids in the mansion really didn't have the courage to make fun of her, and really brought the child to the Yun family.

Although they were happy, Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun also remembered their status and stood up to greet Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan.

Shen Wan asked, "What are grandparents doing?"

Old Master Yun smiled and said, "It's okay to be close to each other, but etiquette cannot be abandoned."

In the past, Shen Wan didn't allow the Yun family to go through so many empty formalities, and the Yun family listened to her and got along with each other casually.

But Prince Ling is no longer the same as before.

Although no one from the Yun family is an official in the court, they still know something about these major events. With the Concubine Chen's case overturned, Prince Ling can now compete for the crown prince position in a legitimate way. It can even be said that the crown prince position is already in Prince Ling's pocket. He has condescended to come to the Yun family, so how can the Yun family rely on being Wan'er's maternal family and not even show courtesy to them?

Even Marquis Pingyang had to perform formalities when meeting Prince Ling.

Shen Wan couldn't persuade them. She was holding the child in her arms and couldn't stop them. She could only endure it.

But apart from paying respect to them, it was no different from before.

Madam Yun stared at the child, unable to take her eyes away. "You've taken good care of him. He hasn't made your grandmother and grandfather worry about you these days."

Knowing that many people in Prince Ling's Mansion had contracted smallpox, Old Master Yun and Old Madam Yun were so worried that they couldn't eat or sleep for a few days. Yun Qi asked the Prince of Yanping and was relieved after confirming that Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan were fine.

The Yun family has been worried for as long as Prince Ling's mansion has been under siege.

Old Master Yun wanted to ask how smallpox was introduced into Prince Ling's Mansion. Everyone who knew Xie Jingyan felt that this should not have happened, but the smallpox was over, Shen Wan, Xie Jingyan and the child were all fine, so Old Master Yun did not ask such a disappointing question.

There was the sound of firecrackers exploding from the front yard.

Shen Wan thought she had misheard, but Madam Yun scolded her, "This is the first time our great-grandson has come to visit us, and the Yun family should have set off firecrackers to welcome him. But you don't take it seriously at all."

Old Master Yun smiled and said, "Not saying hello has its advantages. I still remember the first time Wan'er came to the Yun family when she was born, she was scared to tears by the sound of firecrackers."

Shen Wan was embarrassed.

Please don't talk about such an embarrassing thing, okay?

Seeing Xie Jingyan laughing, Shen Wan couldn't hold back her anger and glared at him secretly.

The firecrackers in the front yard rang for a full quarter of an hour. With this noise, people from the nearby streets knew that Prince Ling and Princess Ling had brought their children to the Yun family.

Such a young child is not afraid of bumps, and bringing him to the Yun family shows that he values ​​the Yun family even more.

Yun Qi was not in the mansion, so the steward sent someone to look for him. Yun Qi rushed back after receiving the news. He and Xie Jingyan went to Old Master Yun's study to talk.

Old Madam Yun and the others were in the main hall talking with Shen Wan for a while. Seeing that the child was hungry, they asked the wet nurse to take the child downstairs to feed him.

Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan arrived at the Yun family very late. They had lunch at the Yun family before leaving.

Yun Qi escorted them out of the house. Seeing the two extra carriages, Shen Wan looked at Yun Qi, "What is this...?"

Yun Qi smiled and said, "This is a gift from grandparents to Jin'er."

Shen Wan, "..."

There were three large boxes on each carriage...

How can you give so much as a meeting gift?

Thinking that the emperor had given her a lot of rewards, Shen Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is too much."

Yun Qi laughed, "This was prepared in a hurry, and grandparents still think it's not enough."

The Yun family really didn't expect Shen Wan to bring the child to the Yun family so early. Old Madam Yun thought that the child would be half a year old at the earliest, so she didn't rush to prepare.

However, there were a lot of things in the Yun family’s warehouse and they could prepare them quickly, otherwise the cousin would have come so suddenly and the Yun family would have been in a real mess.

Shen Wan didn't expect that she would receive so many gifts when she took her children out today.

It was getting late, so he didn't stay any longer and left in a carriage.

Xie Jingyan still rode a horse, while Shen Wan and the wet nurse took a carriage together. On the way back to Prince Ling's Mansion, they met Tang Ze and Du Cheng'an who were patrolling the city.

It was not uncommon for Xie Jingyan to ride a horse, but it was rare for him and Shen Wan to ride a horse when they went out together.

When they met, Tang Ze and Du Cheng'an came over to say hello and prepared to make an appointment to have a drink together.

But when they came over, Xiao Xizi also came over. He was just about to go to Prince Ling's mansion to reply, but unexpectedly he saw Prince Ling on the street.

Xiao Xizi paid his respects to Prince Ling. When he saw Tang Ze and Du Cheng'an coming over, Xiao Xizi seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Xie Jingyan said, "They are not outsiders."

Xiao Xizi said, "The prince asked eunuch Yuan to investigate. Eunuch Yuan has carefully checked. No one from the palace's clothing workshop left the palace during those two days, but a token was lost..."

After a pause, Xiao Xizi said, "But the palace maid who was ordered by the Queen Mother to deliver something to Princess Huyang went to the clothing workshop before leaving the palace."

Xiao Xizi's voice was so weak that it could hardly be heard because Du Cheng'an was there.

After reporting everything he knew, Xiao Xizi left.

Tang Ze looked at Xie Jingyan and asked, "Brother Jingyan, what are you investigating?"

Xie Jingyan has always trusted Tang Ze and the others. He did not hide anything and told them directly.

Tang Ze was shocked to know that someone was using smallpox to harm others. "I told you that you shouldn't be so careless. So that's how the smallpox in Prince Ling's mansion was introduced. Who is so bold as to harm you?"

"I want to know too," Xie Jingyan said.

"..."

Although the truth has not been revealed yet, Tang Ze is already feeling sorry for that person in his heart.

It's no good to mess with Tai Sui.

Tang Ze and his companions still had to patrol the city, so after just a few simple words, Xie Jingyan left.

Du Cheng'an watched Xie Jingyan ride away on his horse, without looking away for a long time.

Tang Ze raised his hand and waved it in front of him twice, saying, "Brother Jing Yan will not doubt the princess."

Du Cheng'an didn't worry about this. He hesitated and said, "There's something I don't know whether I should tell Prince Ling..."

Tang Ze asked, "What's the matter?"

Du Cheng'an said, "On the day when smallpox broke out, I led people to patrol the city and saw the eldest prince stop on his horse and look at a carriage carrying silk..."
