Divorced woman with child travels through time

"Okay, I understand." The girl nodded obediently. She didn't know the reasons, but she knew that General Wang's family were good people and she couldn't let them be harmed by bad people.

"And tomorrow, if you see Brother Xuan and the others, act as if you've just met them, so as not to arouse suspicion," Mu Tou instructed.

"Okay." The girl remained silent.

The next day.

The General's Mansion. Chu Yi, dressed in new clothes, sat quietly in the newly decorated mansion with Yu Long, who was dressed in green silk and wearing a jade crown, waiting for Zhao Yirong to come and fetch their bride.

According to etiquette, Zhao Yirong, as a princess, should only be the wife of a princess. However, Yu Long's family was so poor that it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a princess. Therefore, Zhao Yirong welcomed Yu Long into the family as the husband.

If Yu Long weren't so dazzling and she wasn't worried that he would be snatched away by someone else, Zhao Yirong would have been willing to wait until Yu's parents arrived before holding the wedding.

As soon as the hour of Chen arrived, several children lit firecrackers one after another, and the circus troupe also played their instruments. Amidst the deafening noise, Zhao Yirong made her grand entrance. She gracefully stepped down from the carriage, took Yu Long's hand, and the two of them, like a perfect couple, sat in their carved and gilded carriages. The curtains were drawn back, and the surroundings were decorated with flowers and colorful silks, creating a dreamlike and enchanting scene.

As the carriage moved along, it scattered copper coins, causing cheers and scrambling. However, numerous soldiers with knives maintained order, so there was no panic.

Chen Xuanyu and Shiwu Xiaohao sat on the backs of Wang Feng and the others, looking around. The lively atmosphere dispelled much of his longing for his mother.

"Brother Xuan, I have something to tell you." Wang Feng smiled as he looked at Yu Long, who was blushing and holding Zhao Yirong's hand. She looked shy and just like a young lady.

"What's going on?" Chen Xuanyu saw a child on his left almost fall while trying to grab a copper coin, but luckily someone helped him up.

Do you still remember Brother Wooden and Sister Girl from Wangjiazhuang?

"I remember, what's wrong?" Chen Xuanyu asked, somewhat puzzled. Xiao Hao, who was traveling with him, had sharp ears and turned around when he heard something amiss.

"Mu Tou is the eldest princess's grandson, and he has now been found. But when you see him later, you must act as if you are just meeting him, so as not to bring disaster upon your father." He didn't need to explain the details; the children understood.

After his mother was unable to take him away, Chen Xuanyu understood some things and nodded heavily.

Xiao Hao glanced at Fifteen behind him, and Wang Shan was also talking to him. The two exchanged glances and understood each other.

They soon arrived at the Princess's Mansion. It was slightly less magnificent than the Princess's Mansion, but it was still quite nice. Compared to the General's Mansion, it was like heaven and earth.

The children followed the flow of people into the mansion, and the guests scattered everywhere were dazzling.

Using his status as a child, Chen Xuanyu led the two of them around and soon found Mu Tou and Ya Tou accompanying Zhao Yirong in a side hall.

Their eyes met, and both of them lit up. The girl secretly gave Xiao Hao a look.

Chen Xuanyu leaned forward, feigning innocence, and asked, "Are you the bride? You're so beautiful, are you a fairy?"

"I'm the bride, but I'm not a fairy."

Zhao Yirong was coaxed into laughing out loud; no one had ever told her that General Wang's child was so sweet-talking.

"She must be a fairy descended from heaven, otherwise how could there be such a beautiful bride?"

"Hahaha, how come you're so good at talking?" Zhao Yirong touched his little face with great affection.

Chen Xuanyu looked at her with his large, clear eyes, as if to say, "I wasn't lying."

The maids beside her covered their mouths and echoed, "You must say, Princess, you look absolutely stunning today. Even the top scholar couldn't take his eyes off you!"

"Okay, you all join in the teasing." Zhao Yirong pretended to be fierce, a little shy.

"Princess, it's time for the wedding ceremony," Ruyi said as she entered to invite her.

"Okay!" Zhao Yirong stood up with the help of the crowd, and a group of people rushed out.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Mu Tou squeezed in front of him and said with a smile, "Little brother, I'll show you how to play."

"Okay!" Chen Xuanyu took his hand. "Brother, take me outside to set off firecrackers, I like playing with them."

"Okay!" Mu Tou took her hand and led her out, with the girl following closely behind.

Most of the guests crowded in the hall to watch the excitement, and no one paid attention to the children who went outside the mansion through the front hall, except for some people with ulterior motives, such as Granny Jiang, the old woman next to Madam Li.

She gave some money to hire a servant, who then watched the group go out and followed them out.

"Xuanzi, I need Brother Chuyi's help. Could you pass on a message for me later?" Mu Tou squatted on the ground, setting out firecrackers.

"Okay, I'll have him find you later." Chen Xuanyu turned around casually.

Xiao Hao placed one not far from him and said, "Don't turn around, someone's watching you!"

"Oh, it seems you're not having an easy time either, Brother Wood. Do you need money? My mother left me a lot of money when she passed away," Chen Xuanyu said with some concern.

"Thank you, but no need. My aunt and grandmother love me very much, and I have money." Mu Tou smiled heartily, a rare sight indeed. He was indeed Chen Niangzi's son, still so kind.

"Alright then, just let me know if you need any help," Chen Xuanyu said sullenly.

Just as Mu Tou was about to comfort him, a tall, strong young man led a group of people and rushed over.

"Get out of my way! I'm going to set off firecrackers here."

"Who are you? Why should I give it to you!" Chen Xuanyu was already irritable lately, and he immediately lost his temper.

"I am Zhao Jing, the grandson of Prince Ningxian. Everyone here must listen to me. What? You dare not listen?" The young man raised his eyebrows, his domineering manner quite imposing.

"Hmph..." Although Chen Xuanyu didn't know who Prince Ningxian was, the fact that he had a "Prince" in his name meant he was definitely not someone to be trifled with. So he asked the wooden man beside him, "Which one holds a higher official position, Prince Ningxian or your grandmother, the Eldest Princess?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Tou was at a loss for words. How should he respond? In this setting, they were all about the same age, but in terms of prestige, his grandmother was undoubtedly the most respected.

They were speaking loudly, and the boy, who looked like he had a fiery temper, immediately snapped, "You country bumpkin, what's there to ask? Of course, it's because my grandfather is a high-ranking official."

"That's right, you stepfather's son, it's not your fault you don't know the rules, get out of here." A fat man who followed Zhao Jing like a shadow was Cao Cheng's son, Cao Fang. He immediately fawned over Zhao Jing, but the insults he used were really unpleasant.

"You! Ugh, you're making me so angry!" Chen Xuanyu exploded instantly and rushed forward without thinking. Xiao Hao and Shiwu were inseparable and always had perfect teamwork. As soon as Chen Xuanyu moved, the two of them would immediately follow suit.

Chen Xuanyu had never been separated from his mother. He had grown up in a loving environment since childhood. He was already feeling very sad being separated from his mother these past few days, and to be insulted like this was unbearable.
