[Mo Dao Zu Shi Fanfiction] I Raise A Ying in Yiling

Unaware that she had tricked a large number of netizens and also severely harmed herself, Wei Chaoyan (keeping the empathy mode on in the live stream consumes a lot of audience favor points, and at the same time, her live stream had reached the limit of the number of times each audience favor point could be obtained today, and since they were on their way and there was no new live stream content, they would not be able to attract new audiences to generate new favor points) rushed back to the cloth shop at the beginning of Hai hour.

Before Wei Chaoyan could even stand properly after being helped down from her horse by Yan Qing, Wei Ying and Qi Ye, who had been waiting at the back gate of the cloth shop, rushed over and embraced her tightly. Yan Qing, carrying the exhausted and nodding Qingyan in her arms, followed closely behind. With a complicated expression, she opened her mouth as if to say something, but under the dim light of the lanterns hanging high in front of the gate, she could clearly see the weariness and dust on Wei Chaoyan and the others' faces. In the end, she couldn't bear it and swallowed her words, only saying, "It's good that you're back safely. Come in, rest a bit, and have something to eat. There's still some food warming up on the stove."

Upon hearing this, Wei Chaoyan glanced at Lady Yan with tears of gratitude. Ignoring the fact that she was already exhausted, she reached out and put her arms around Wei Ying and Qi Ye, who were both teary-eyed and had red and swollen eyes. She coaxed them in a low voice as she walked slowly into the courtyard.

Soothed by Wei Chaoyan's gentle words, Wei Ying and Qi Ye, knowing that Wei Chaoyan was exhausted and in dire need of rest, obediently stepped out of her arms, carefully holding Wei Chaoyan's sleeves and following her footsteps into the inner courtyard. Lady Yan, holding Qingyan who had closed his eyes and fallen asleep after seeing Wei Chaoyan return safely, followed behind Wei Chaoyan in silence.

Yan Qing and his companions didn't need any further instructions from Madam Yan. They simply handed the reins to their subordinates who were waiting at the door, instructing them to take the exhausted horses back to the stables to rest. They then went straight back to their own quarters to rest. As for reporting the situation to Madam Yan, they would do that the next morning.

With Wei Ying and Qi Ye in her arms, Wei Chaoyan quickly found the guest room she had arranged for them to stay in, guided by Lady Yan who was following behind. After pushing open the door, Lady Yan ignored Wei Chaoyan, who was about to say something, and went straight to the newly made wooden bed at the inside of the room. She gently placed the rather heavy Qingyan on the bed, covered him with a quilt, tucked in the corners, and lowered the bed curtains around the bed before turning around and walking to the wooden table outside the room. With a calm expression, she told Wei Chaoyan to sit down with Wei Ying and Qi Ye instead of standing there like idiots.

Seeing that Lady Yan remained calm and did not blame her, Wei Chaoyan, uneasy, gathered Wei Ying and the other person and sat down in chairs.

On the way back, Wei Chaoyan had rehearsed countless lines to deal with Yan Niangzi and the others, but now, facing the faces of the three people involved, Wei Chaoyan had a lot of ideas but didn't know what to say. She could only huddle with the two little people, shivering and completely at a loss, like a quail soaked in the cold rain, its head drooping and wings drooping.

Seeing Wei Chaoyan's pitiful appearance, Yan Niangzi had so much to say but couldn't get it out. She could only let out a long sigh and, afraid of waking Qingyan who was sleeping soundly in the inner room, she deliberately lowered her voice and said, "Alright, alright, I'm tired of telling you to be careful with your words and to think things through calmly. I won't waste my breath anymore. It's good that you're all back."

Pointing to the two motionless children nestled in Wei Chaoyan's arms, she said, "These three have been restless and anxious ever since you left this morning. They were even more agitated when you didn't return by the agreed time of sunset. If they weren't so young and knew I would never let them leave, they would have practically rushed out to find you themselves! You've had a long day, and they haven't been idle either! Keep a close eye on them tonight. If they fall into a nightmare, wake them up promptly. Otherwise, it'll be too exhausting, understand?"

Wei Chaoyan nodded with guilt and self-reproach, repeatedly assuring that she knew and would never dare to fall into a deep sleep at night.

Lady Yan frowned when she saw the obvious fatigue between Wei Chaoyan's brows, and changed her words, saying, "Never mind, you should get some rest. I'll arrange for a maid to keep watch later, so as not to disturb the three of them."

"Huh? Oh! No need for that..." Wei Chaoyan instinctively objected upon hearing this, but before she could finish her refusal, she was forcefully interrupted by Lady Yan.

"You've had a long day and need a good rest. If you spend the whole night taking care of the three kids without getting a proper night's sleep, wouldn't that be neglecting one thing and failing the other? Okay, don't refuse, just follow my instructions!"

Wei Chaoyan, whose rebuttal was forcefully suppressed by Lady Yan, pursed her lips and silently agreed to her arrangement. "By the way, the kitchen will bring hot water, food, and calming soup later. Remember to drink it after you finish your meal. Each of you three should have a bowl. After you finish, quickly wash up with the hot water and then rest!"

Wei Chaoyan, stared at intently by Madam Yan, nodded repeatedly with a sullen face, indicating that she would obediently drink her medicine and also supervise Wei Ying and the others to drink it together. Madam Yan was very satisfied with Wei Chaoyan's obedience at this moment: "Alright, I won't nag any longer. Just remember! I'm leaving now. You guys hurry up and don't waste time, okay?"

After saying these words, Madam Yan covered her red lips with her hand, let out a delicate, sleepy yawn, got up, opened the door, and left. No sooner had she left than the kitchen brought in all the necessities. Wei Chaoyan and the other two quickly finished everything and did nothing more than take off their clothes, shoes, and socks and go to bed in one go, under the watchful eyes of the maid who had come to keep watch at Madam Yan's behest.

Of course, before Wei Chaoyan fell asleep with her three younger brothers in her arms, she remembered to silently say "goodnight" to the viewers in the live stream before closing the live stream and falling soundly asleep.

The night is still long, and the dream has not yet begun. As for having a deep conversation with 001 about this little matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!
