"Why do you want to go back?" Su Qinchao brushed aside the hem of his skirt and sat down directly at the small table in the cabin.

Then he picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for himself and Wei Wuluan.

He tilted his head and looked through the porthole, staring intently at the nearest pleasure boat.

At this time, the girls on the pleasure boat were lifting their long black hair, and were leaning against the railing to be served by the maids while they were washing and dressing up, with sleepy eyes.

From time to time, a maid would carry a wooden basin and pour out water for washing face that was tinged with perfumed powder.

Every move she made was like the paintings of Tang Dynasty ladies that I had seen in my previous life, so pleasing to the eyes.

Officials of the Wu Dynasty were not allowed to have prostitutes, so Su Qinchao did not privately involve himself in these places except when it was necessary to handle cases.

But Wei Wuluan was here today, and he wanted to tease him and take a look at something new.

In addition, he knew that later on, there would be many small passenger boats docked around these pleasure boats for people to rest...

So he also planned to... cough!

"Then where are we staying tonight?" Wei Wuluan had no idea what the person in front of him was planning.

"Of course we're going there!" Su Qinchao curled his lips and signaled Wei Wuluan with his eyes, looking very serious.

"But..." Wei Wuluan opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Wasn't everything fine just now? Why did this guy become interested in the girls on the pleasure boat?

So tonight...

"Look at the girl in red at the stern. Isn't she beautiful?"

...

At the end of September, Yunniang, along with the children, Su's father and mother, embarked on a journey back to their hometown in Yueyang, escorted by the escort agency.

Before leaving, she entrusted all household affairs to Rong and Xingxian, with the former in charge of the front hall and the latter in charge of the backyard, with a clear division of labor.

"Yunniang," Su Qinchao hugged his wife, ignoring the two children jumping up and down, and was reluctant to let go.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Little Tangyuan opened his arms and wanted a hug.

"Daddy! Daddy!" Little Tangbao naturally followed suit.

"Okay, okay, he will be back in two months at most. The children are taking care of him." Yunniang patted her husband's back and comforted him gently.

My husband is really... sometimes. He is already in his thirties, but he likes to act like a spoiled child more than a child.

But it was also because of this that she always felt that her husband was different from others.

"But I will miss you, very much." Su Qinchao said in a muffled voice.

He had just managed to deal with Wei Wuluan's problem a few days ago, and although he was happy,...

He originally thought he would have plenty of time, but he didn't expect that his parents would suddenly move up the time to return home, which really caught him off guard.

"Isn't there Xingxian?" Xingxian is a well-behaved person. She feels at ease with him in her yard.

He would definitely take care of everything she asked him to do.

"This is different." How could it be the same? There were some things, especially those in the yamen, that he could discuss with Yunniang, but he could not reveal a single thing to Xingxian.

If he was out on business, it would be fine as he would be too busy to remember her, but in Chang'an, without Yunniang, he was not used to it.

Yunniang is like the stabilizer in his heart.

Moreover, the Japanese issue has begun to surface, and his name is on that list again.

Who knows, in two days, Princess Yucheng will summon me.

By that time, when Yunniang comes back, it is hard to say whether he will still be in Chang'an, or in the Wu Dynasty.

He had a vague feeling that something was about to happen.

"Okay, okay. If you delay any longer, the ship will be leaving soon. Don't you want to say goodbye to the children?"

"need."

...

Afterwards, Su Qinchao held the three children in his arms and kissed them for a long time. After repeated urging from Su's father and mother, he finally sent them onto the passenger ship.

Oh, the house is so empty all of a sudden, I’m not used to it.

In the past, when dusk fell, the yard was filled with children laughing and playing.

His wife would also accompany him, talking about trivial matters at home or new interesting stories she had heard.

He likes this warm atmosphere, which makes him feel safe and happy.

"General." Xingxian came out of the kitchen holding a bowl of yogurt.

What he saw was his own general, leaning on the corridor in a daze.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Hearing someone calling him, Su Qin raised his head in confusion.

"Dinner will take a while, General. Why don't you fill your stomach with a bowl of cheese first?" Xingxian said, leaning over and passing the cheese in her hand to Su Qinchao.

He knew that the general loved to eat this and would never get tired of it even if he ate it every day, so he always ordered people to prepare it.
