"I'm afraid the truth is as you said. Young master, you must be extra cautious no matter what!

Queen Shi is extremely cruel. Since she failed this time, she will definitely wait for an opportunity, looking for the perfect opportunity to strike again, and then make a comeback.

We have to be on guard!"

"Yes, yes, young master, you must be careful!"

The group of children echoed and shouted, with a hint of shyness on their faces.

When Shen Qingge heard this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

You know, this is the first time these children have taken the initiative to speak to me since they came to the Shen Mansion.

Just now, they all seemed timid and did not dare to talk to her.

The current situation must be because he has a deep hatred for the four assassins, and is grateful to her for killing them!

Thinking of this, the smile on Shen Qingge's face became even gentler, and she jokingly said to these lovely children:

"You guys, don't follow Grandma Hua's lead and call me little master.

There's no such thing as a young master, just call me Sister Shen!"

Grandma Hua, who was standing by, heard this and quickly interrupted her, saying anxiously:

"Oh, that's absolutely not possible, we can't break the rules!

"The master is the master, you are of noble status, how can you mix with these juniors?"

At this time, one of the older children said seriously:

"Grandma Hua is right. You are not only our master, but also our great benefactor. Without you, who would help us avenge our father's murder?

From today on, all of our lives belong to you, Master. No matter how great the difficulties and obstacles we encounter, we will follow you to the death and never betray you!

The other children nodded in agreement with him.

For a moment, the whole yard was filled with a firm and sincere atmosphere.

Shen Qingge was helpless seeing this situation and could only nod slightly to show his agreement.

Then, as if she remembered something, she continued to speak to the children:

"Now that you have decided to follow me, to ensure your personal safety, I plan to give you a new name.

In a few days, I will take you to the government office to handle your household registration. From now on, you are citizens of Nanyue!"

Hearing this, all the children were very excited, and Grandma Hua was so happy that she couldn't even close her mouth.

After a brief thought, Shen Qingge turned his gaze towards the four women and four men in front of him and slowly said:

"From now on, all of you will take my surname, Shen.

The girls were named Chunlan, Xiazhu, Qiuyue and Dongxue respectively; the boys were named Chuanbai, Sumu, Tiandong and Fanghai respectively.

I wonder if this name suits your thoughts?"

"That's wonderful, wonderful!"

"Thank you, Master, for giving us such a nice name!"

The children were very happy and loved the new name very much.

Just at this moment, Shen Qingge saw that everyone had basically finished eating, so he stood up and arranged for everyone to go and rest.

After all, it’s already very late. If I don’t go to bed now, it will probably be dawn soon.

At this moment, the children were all full and ran towards the wing rooms with joy in their hearts.

Grandma Hua fell behind, looking like she wanted to speak but was hesitant.

Shen Qingge noticed this and quickly stepped forward to support Grandma Hua with Dongxue, and gently comforted her:

"Old man, please take a rest early and don't worry too much.

You said it yourself, those four people are Queen Shi's trusted aides.

Now that they have all died here, how could Queen Shi not carefully consider her next move?

Besides, she didn't have many available troops, so no matter how courageous she was, she would never dare to launch a large-scale attack rashly.

At most, they will be quiet for a while and then use some sinister and cunning means in secret.

I was a little nervous before because I didn't understand the situation clearly, but now that I understand the whole story, I feel much more at ease!

Hearing this, Grandma Hua forced a smile on her face but didn't say a word.

I only heard Shen Qingge continue to say with a smile:

"Grandma Hua, you must take good care of yourself.

Wait until tomorrow, I will personally diagnose your pulse, examine your condition, and prescribe medicine for you.

When you feel a little better, I will introduce my grandmother to you.

I believe that you two will get along very well by then!"

After saying that, Shen Qingge began to think about the arrangements for picking up his grandmother and the others tomorrow.

Although Grandma Hua was responding to Shen Qingge with a smile on her face at this moment, she was actually trying her best to endure the fishy and sweet taste that kept rising from the depths of her throat.

Her stomach felt as if it was swept by a strong wind and huge waves, and it was extremely uncomfortable.

But she didn't want Shen Qingge to notice anything wrong with her body, so she pretended to be calm.

That night, Grandma Hua had a very long dream.

In the dream, she still looked as young as she was, and Princess Feng Yao was still an innocent little girl, laughing and playing in front of her, waving to her gently.

And she, with a kind smile, trotted towards the princess.

……

The next morning, the sky was just beginning to turn pale.

Shen Qingge was awakened by a shrill scream.

She didn't even have time to put on her coat before she rushed into the room where Grandma Hua lived.

The moment she stepped into the house, the first thing she saw was Dongxue's tearful and helpless eyes looking at her pitifully.

On the other side, Qiuyue had already been crying like a tearful person, lying beside Grandma Hua, her shoulders twitching constantly.

Shen Qingge's heart tightened instantly. She took two steps forward slowly, feeling full of anxiety and worry.

When she walked in front of Grandma Hua, she hesitated for a moment before she mustered up the courage, tremblingly stretched out a finger, and gently placed it under Grandma Hua's nose, trying to confirm whether that faint breath was still there.

However, the result was exactly the same as she felt - Grandma Hua was no longer breathing.

Shen Qingge took a deep breath and used all her strength to hold the two little girls tightly in her arms. At this moment, she seemed to have become their only support and pillar of support.

Grandma Hua lay quietly on the bed, her face looked exceptionally peaceful, with a faint smile hanging on the corner of her mouth, as if she was just sleeping peacefully.

At this moment, the sharp-eyed Shen Qingge suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something hidden under Grandma Hua's pillow.

She gently released her arms that were hugging the two girls and carefully reached under the pillow.

Sure enough, there lay an envelope.

There were only five words written neatly on the envelope: "From the young master personally."

Shen Qingge opened the envelope slowly with trembling hands.

As the letter paper was unfolded bit by bit, lines of beautiful handwriting appeared before the eyes.

The general content of the letter was that Grandma Hua knew that her time was up, so she decided to look for her master whom she had not seen for many years - Princess Feng Yao, Shen Qingge's mother.

In the letter, she also reassured everyone not to worry too much about it, because birth, aging, sickness and death are common to all human beings, and everyone will eventually reach this end.

In addition, Grandma Hua earnestly pleaded with Shen Qingge to take these children in and never abandon them just because they made any mistakes.
