After Ji Yunshuang finished washing up, Gu Chunzhi said to her with concern, "Shuangniang, you must be tired from the journey. You should go and rest early! We can talk about the rest tomorrow."

Ji Yunshuang was indeed quite tired after traveling all day, but she wouldn't be able to stay for long this time, as she had a lot to do tomorrow. So, after giving some brief instructions, she went back to her room to rest.

When she woke up the next day, Qiu Yuan and Lu Xumu had already sent Zhang Laitou and the others to the government office as she had instructed.

When the two men escorted them to the government office, they would stop and explain to each person they saw.

By this time, everyone knew that the Lu family had almost been robbed the night before.

Seeing the miserable state of Zhang Laizi and the others, people cursed them for deserving it, and at the same time, they felt a greater sense of fear towards the Lu family.

The second son of the Lu family has become an official, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lu family is powerful, and there are even guards personally escorted to their home by a general... They have to be careful and not mess with the Lu family.

Knowing that Lu Xumu and Qiu Yuan had done as she instructed, Ji Yunshuang could eat in peace.

After the Lu family's circumstances improved, they lived like wealthy families in the city, eating three meals a day.

However, Gu Chunzhi did not start the meal at dawn as usual, but instead waited for Ji Yunshuang with her two children.

When Ji Yunshuang learned that everyone hadn't eaten breakfast and had been waiting for her, she hugged Lu Yuzhu and said, "Why don't you eat first? Are you hungry?"

After learning that a thief had broken into the house last night, Lu Yanqi secretly stuffed cotton balls into his younger sister's ears to prevent the noise outside from waking her up and frightening her.

Therefore, Lu Yuzhu had no idea what had happened at home last night, and only found out that her mother had returned when she woke up this morning.

Her brother told her not to disturb her mother's sleep, so she suppressed her excitement and didn't go to find Ji Yunshuang in the morning.

Holding Ji Yunshuang in her arms, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears. "Zhuzhu isn't hungry. Zhuzhu wants to eat with Mother."

"Why is my baby crying!" Ji Yunshuang hugged her daughter, kissed her little face, gently patted her back, and coaxed, "Sweetie, don't cry!"

Lu Yuzhu hiccuped and hugged Ji Yunshuang, saying, "I missed Mother! Mother was gone for so long this time."

Although Ji Yunshuang was often busy outside in the past, she would come back most of the time at night.

And sometimes, even when my mother isn't home, my father is.

This time, however, Lu Yuzhu was extremely aggrieved because her father and mother left home one after another and for such a long time.

Ji Yunshuang took a handkerchief to wipe her tears and said, "Mother misses my little darling too."

Lu Yuzhu choked back a sob and asked, "Is Mother leaving again this time?"

A sudden wave of guilt washed over Ji Yunshuang. This child was so young; he needed his mother very much.

However, after she transmigrated into this body, although she took good care of them in place of the original owner, ensuring they had enough to eat and wear, she couldn't truly be like a mother and provide them with companionship.

Seeing that Ji Yunshuang did not answer for a while, Lu Yuzhu said sensibly, "Mother, it's okay if you leave."

Zhuzhu has grown up and can take care of herself. I just miss you a little. Come back and visit me more often when you have time.

Ji Yunshuang felt a pang of sadness again and hugged her, saying, "Yes, I'll come back to see you whenever I have time. Let's eat first!"

Now that the family has plenty to eat and drink, Gu Chunzhi cooks a very lavish meal. In addition to steamed buns, she also makes several side dishes to go with the congee.

After dinner, Gu Chunzhi finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked Ji Yunshuang what exactly happened.

Ji Yunshuang hadn't planned to tell her family about her time in the military. But she didn't expect Wei Zhenfang to come and apologize, and even reveal that she had been promoted to brigadier general.

Since that was the case, she no longer concealed her going to the army. However, she slightly obscured the reason for her going to the army.

People of this era may find it hard to understand her idea of ​​voluntarily joining the army and wanting to make a name for herself.

Therefore, regarding her family's enlistment in the army, she only said that she had taken a powerful strategist as her master and entered the army camp with her master.

When Gu Chunzhi heard that her eldest daughter-in-law had taken another powerful strategist as her master, she couldn't help but worry for her eldest son. His daughter-in-law was becoming increasingly formidable, while he remained as clueless as ever…

Thinking of this, she hurriedly asked, "Is Dalang with you too?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded: "He is now my personal guard. Mother, don't worry, he is safe."

Gu Chunzhi felt much relieved after hearing this. She then asked how to handle the gifts sent by Wei Zhenfang.

Gu Chunzhi frowned and said, "Sanlang and I were reluctant to accept the gift before, worried that it would cause you some trouble! But he said that in addition to apologizing, we also wanted to thank you for taking his eldest son as your apprentice. Later, he made up an excuse and insisted on leaving the gift at the gate of the courtyard."

Thinking of Wei Shen's hatred for his father, Ji Yunshuang said, "He misjudged people and allowed his own son to do such a thing. It is only right that he apologizes."

But they don't need his money now.

It's impossible for them to let Wei Yuqi off the hook after accepting the gift!

She decided to go see Wei Zhenfang.

Apart from the apology sent by Wei Zhenfang and the rewards brought back by the officials, Gu Chunzhi didn't touch any of them and handed them all over to Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang returned Lu Wuzheng's reward to Gu Chunzhi, saying, "This is a reward for my second brother. You can keep it for him to use when he gets married in the future."

Gu Chunzhi had never understood before how her second son, An, had suddenly become an official.

Now she understood perfectly well that he was only getting this promotion because of his sister-in-law. If it weren't for Ji Yunshuang's support, how could he have become an official?

She said, "I know my own child well. If it weren't for you, he wouldn't have received this reward! This is all thanks to you."

Besides, you've been running this household so well. Without you, we wouldn't be living such a good life. Keep your things.

Ji Yunshuang didn't care about this small amount of money, but seeing that Gu Chunzhi was a sensible person, she was in a good mood.

She picked out a few bolts of cloth and asked Gu Chunzhi to bring them to make clothes for her and the children.

She decided to keep the remaining fabric and silver, saying it was for Lu Wuzheng to use when he got married.

Seeing that Ji Yunshuang insisted, Gu Chunzhi did not object anymore. However, she asked Ji Yunshuang to keep it safe, saying that she was scared by the thief and was worried that there might be more thieves, or that it might get infested with rats at home.

Ji Yunshuang thought that nowhere was as safe as her own space, so she agreed.

After talking for a while, she set off for the city.

As I was leaving, I saw my daughter looking at me expectantly, so I picked her up and planned to take her with me.

Gu Chunzhi knew that Ji Yunshuang was going to the city on important business. Seeing this, she hesitated and said, "Won't it interfere with your business if she goes with you?"

Lu Yuzhu frowned immediately, looking at her mother nervously.

Ji Yunshuang pinched her daughter's cheek and said, "Don't worry, it won't be delayed!"
