“Yes, write a letter to your mother.” Gu Chunzhi perked up instantly upon hearing her granddaughter’s words, but then she asked doubtfully, “Can this little tiger really know where your mother is? Will she even receive the letter?”

“Tianrui is very clever. It will definitely find Mother and deliver the letter to her.” Lu Yuzhu looked at her with her big eyes and said, “Would Mother lie to Zhuzhu?”

Gu Chunzhi initially thought that her daughter-in-law had used the little tiger to deliver a message to cheer her up after seeing her granddaughter crying.

But thinking about it carefully, Ji Yunshuang has always doted on her granddaughter. If the little tiger can't deliver the letter, her granddaughter will definitely be even more heartbroken.

She must be heartbroken to see her granddaughter so sad; who knows, the little tiger might actually be able to deliver the letter.

She laughed and said, "That's right! Your mother would never lie to my little Zhuzhu. Come on, let's go write a letter to your mother."

"Write a letter to your father too. Tianrui was able to deliver the letter to your mother, so he should be able to find your father as well, right?"

Lu Yuzhu thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Then let's write a letter to Father as well!"

The Lu brothers, Xu Mu and Lu Yinheng, decided not to cook New Year's Eve dinner. Instead, they went to Lu Yinheng's room to get pen and ink and began writing a letter to Ji Yunshuang.

The letter was mainly dictated by Lu Yuzhu and written down by Lu Xumu. Lu Yuzhu was young and had a free-flowing mind, so she basically wrote down whatever came to mind.

She would ask Ji Yunshuang where she was and if she missed her, and then she would tell her about things at home. Sometimes Gu Chunzhi would chime in with a few words about what was going on at the shop.

As Lu Xumu was writing, he would suddenly ask his younger brother how to write a certain character.

Sometimes Lu Zilin knew, and would take the pen to write a few strokes for his third brother; other times he didn't.

The two brothers looked at each other awkwardly, and finally drew a circle where they didn't know how to write.

Lu Yanqi looked at the characters, which were sometimes large and sometimes small, and he simply couldn't bear to look at them.

He silently looked away, thinking to himself that he still had to send his two uncles to school.

However, considering their third uncle's age, and the fact that the two of them had recently been so enthusiastic about helping that woman with her business, they would definitely not be willing to give up their business and go to school.

Then we'll have to invite the gentleman to our home.

While Lu Yanqi was pondering how to invite the teacher to his home, Lu Xumu and his brother, working together, finally finished writing the letter to Ji Yunshuang.

The two took out new stationery and wrote to Lu Yinheng. Compared to her eloquent letter to her mother, Lu Yuzhu seemed much less talkative.

Gu Chunzhi was similar. Aside from asking about everyone's safety and whether the soldiers had enough to eat and wear, she seemed to have nothing more to say.

She herself didn't realize that she had become increasingly dependent on Ji Yunshuang.

She always wanted to tell Ji Yunshuang anything that happened.

Finally, when Tianrui delivered the letters to the military camp, Ji Yunshuang's letters were a thick stack, while Lu Yinheng's letters were only a thin sheet.

Looking at his thin sheet of paper and then at Ji Yunshuang's thick stack of letters, Lu Yinheng almost doubted his eyes.

He quickly skimmed through the letter, which contained only words of concern and care from the mother to the daughter, and nothing more.

He couldn't help but wonder what they had written in their letters to Ji Yunshuang. He asked, "May I see your letter?"

Ji Yunshuang looked at the thin piece of paper in his hand, and then at the pitiful, aggrieved expression on his face, and inexplicably felt like laughing.

She handed him the letter.

Lu Yinheng took the letter and, upon reading its contents, felt a complex mix of emotions.

Compared to his few dry questions, Ji Yunshuang's letter was much richer in content.

The letter not only asked her where she was and when she would return, but also included various everyday events that happened at home.

She even talked about small things like the family rabbit having a litter of baby rabbits and what her daughter named them.

After reading it, he asked somewhat unwillingly, "Do they know we're together?"

Seeing his devastated expression, Ji Yunshuang wanted to laugh even more, but it would be too unkind to laugh at this moment, so she tried her best to suppress her laughter and said, "I didn't tell anyone that I came to the army."

Lu Yinheng: "..."

It's confirmed—it's discriminatory treatment!

"Write your reply and give it to me. I'll have Tianrui send it back with me. But don't write about my time in the army yet, so they won't worry if they find out."

After Ji Yunshuang finished speaking, she quickly left. She was really worried that if she didn't leave soon, she wouldn't be able to hold back her laughter.

Lu Yinheng: "..."

Did he not see it? The smile on her lips that she couldn't suppress no matter how hard she tried?

However, the thought that her family was closer to her made her smile so happily, and the gloom she felt earlier seemed to vanish instantly.

This is fine too, as long as she's happy.

Lu Yinheng took out paper and pen and began to reply to his family.

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshuang was also replying to her daughter's letter. However, in addition to replying to her daughter, she also took out a pack of milk tablets from her space, wrapped them in oil paper, and planned to have Tianrui send them back later.

Tianrui had just drunk her milk with honey, and snuggled affectionately against Ji Yunshuang.

Tigers, as felines, naturally grow relatively quickly.

Tianrui, perhaps because he ate the mysterious nectar in the space, seemed to grow faster than ordinary tigers.

It is now over 90 centimeters long, and with its fluffy fur, it no longer looks small.

Ji Yunshuang ruffled its fur and said, "Don't act cute! You're not suited to acting cute right now, you know that?"

As if understanding her words, Tianrui Tiger Cub stopped acting cute and showed a pitiful expression.

"Don't play the victim, you know? You're a big tiger, you know that?" Ji Yunshuang found its appearance cute, but still said, "You have to be fierce, you know?"

Tianrui buried his head in her palm and rubbed it against her: Mmm, I only act cute with you, I'm fierce with others.

Ji Yunshuang did not understand animal language.

But at this moment, I inexplicably understood its meaning.

She rubbed its head. "You're such a good boy, just as I raised you! Okay, lie down quietly and let me see how to make a more suitable little backpack for you."

Previously, to make it easier for Tianrui to deliver messages, Gu Chunzhi sewed a small cloth bag and tied it to Tianrui's body.

However, it was probably sewn on the spot. This cloth bag can only hold letters, it's not waterproof, and it can't hold much.

Ji Yunshuang thought for a moment, then took out a waterproof cloth from her spatial storage and sewed a small backpack for Tianrui to carry.

When Lu Yinheng delivered the letter again, he noticed that Tianrui's backpack had been completely renovated.

His eyes flickered as he thought of the smoking objects Ji Yunshuang had taken out during the battle with the Qi army that day.

Hearing the noise, Ji Yunshuang turned to look at him and asked, "Have you finished writing the letter?"

Lu Yinheng nodded slightly and handed her the letter, saying, "Thank you for your trouble."

Ji Yunshuang took the letter, put it in a cloth bag, and patted Tianrui, saying, "Go! Deliver the letter back as soon as possible."

After receiving Ji Yunshuang's order, Tianrui rubbed against her affectionately before darting away like lightning.

In the military camp, many people felt something flash by, but no one could see what it was.

Only Ji Yunshuang's personal guards knew that a tiger had come to the military camp today to deliver a message to Ji Yunshuang.

After Ji Yunshuang was promoted to the rank of brigade commander, she appointed Lu Yinheng and Wei Shen as her personal guards.

The reason she appointed the two men as bodyguards was mainly because she felt they would help her keep her secrets.

Lu Yinheng himself was a reincarnation, and they could be said to have secrets from each other. Moreover, he never overstepped his bounds. Relatively speaking, Ji Yunshuang felt safer with him by her side than with others.

As Wei Shen was her apprentice, she had a blind trust and admiration for her. Choosing him as her personal guard was definitely better than choosing a stranger.

And that was indeed the case. Lu Yinheng's eyes were filled with turbulent emotions, but in the end he did not ask any more questions.
