Pei Mingxuan glared at Yuan Shuheng, somewhat dissatisfied that he had always kept a distance from him. However, unexpectedly, he saw that Yuan Shuheng's eyes were filled with amusement. "You stubborn girl, your words don't match your heart." Pei Mingxuan could only laugh and scold, remembering the moment when Yuan Shuheng touched his skin earlier, feeling a slight stinging sensation.

  That feeling was because Won Seok-hwan's hands had no flesh, basically a skeletal feel. Adding to Won Seok-hwan's family background, Bae Myung-seon thought that Won Seok-hwan must have suffered a lot when he was young. When Bae Myung-seon was young and participated in training, his grandfather Mun Il-guk's teachings on literature and martial arts had already taken away many joys compared to ordinary children.

  It wasn't until I grew up that I realized those kids didn't even have enough to eat, and I was already living a good life. Moreover, it was precisely because of my hard work and diligent study in childhood that I acquired the skills I have now, and I was able to fight my way to my current position on the battlefield. All I can say is that I have gained some and lost some, and as for hardship, it only served to strengthen my body and mind.

  "It's better to thank the king for his kindness." Since learning of Pei Mingxuan's identity, Yuan Shuhui mostly referred to him as "Wangye", although sometimes he also used the more informal "you". This was also to remind himself and Pei Mingxuan that they were ultimately people from two different worlds.

  "Han Gongzhu, Ming Xuan has an old friend coming over, I don't know if it's convenient for you to arrange a place for him. Han Gongzhu, also don't be too cold towards Ming Xuan, these two words 'Wang Ye' have never had any weight here with you." Pei Ming Xuan paused, from the beginning until now, Yuan Shu Han's attitude towards himself hadn't changed at all.

  This title of "Wang Ye" is actually useless here. This is also the reason why Pei Mingxuan treats Yuan Shuhuan differently, how many princes can truly treat commoners as equals? Although from the beginning, Yuan Shuhuan knew he might be a noble, the three words "Pei Ming Xuan" are a symbol of nobility for many people.

  "No one is a god, you are no exception." It's just an individual after all, people will eventually face birth, aging, illness and death, and ultimately still have to go through the eight sufferings of human life. "It's just that between people, it's still different after all, even if the king of the mountain is a tiger, there are many varieties." Yuan Shuhong once raised a white tiger, which many people also like to call a snow tiger.

  Although it's not worth mentioning these things to outsiders now, thinking of that Snow Tiger who stood shoulder-to-shoulder with him until the end still fills Yuan Shu Huan with some melancholy.

  "Do you like tigers?" That nostalgic expression made Pei Mingxuan somewhat perplexed. The girl in front of him insisted on using tigers as a metaphor, although it was true that there were other species besides the common yellow tiger, but he hadn't really studied them much.

  "Yes, especially fond of Snow Tiger, White was very cute when she was young, and growing up will also be a good companion. These animals can't communicate with humans, but they are more reliable than humans. Prince, I suddenly feel unwell, so I'll take my leave first." Yuan Shu Huan stood up and bowed to Pei Ming Xuan.

  She is now emotionally unstable and not suitable to chat with Bae Myung-seon, at that time she should have been dead, I don't know how Xue Yan is doing! Is she still alive?! Won Seo-hwan returned to her room, closed the door and ordered someone to send something that had been kept warm for a while to Bae Myung-seon.

  "Grandfather, what's wrong with Han'gong?" It was clear that something was not quite right. But before this, everything had been fine. It must have been because of that tiger. The Snow Tiger that Han'gong mentioned earlier was indeed a rare breed. However, although Han'gong said she had a bit of a strange temper, as a weak woman, her emotional response to the ferocious beast was...

  "Huan is not like other girls, and it's not strange that she likes tigers. Moreover, everyone has their own past, when have you ever seen Huan probe into your past?" Although Pei Mingxuan hoped that Yuan Shuhuan would take the initiative to understand his past, he also knew that Yuan Shuhuan had always maintained a proper distance between them.

  That was a high wall erected by Yuan Shu in his own heart, and he didn't know how to cross it now either.

  "It's not that I don't know what's good for Miss Huan, but I'm afraid if she sees a tiger, it will be bad for her. This place isn't suitable either." An Mo comforted, "Tigers aren't something you can just raise because you want to. In a small town like this, if you really bring in a tiger to keep as a pet, Miss Huan's business will probably suffer too."

  Moreover, in such a small place, so many things are being stirred up, An Mo can't help but feel that it's unbelievable. It's also because of Huan Gongzhu and Wang You Gu that this place is somewhat out of place with only one exception - the master. Other places are all very obedient, he looks at them although there are many things and they are complicated, but everything is proceeding in an orderly manner.

  "There's a story inside, but you still go down and take a look, what is Han girl doing now. Take a look at those two little guys today, are they also as lovely." Speaking of the two little guys, Pei Mingxuan was also very happy.

  Now that I'm feeling a bit better, Yuan Shuhan doesn't seem to be as distant as before, and he no longer keeps me and the two little ones at arm's length. However, I still have some mobility issues, so even if I want to go see those two little ones, it's all just wishful thinking. Although I didn't go myself, Mo Xi looked in on them and came back to tell me all about it in detail.

  "It's just that the two kids will call her mom, but they won't say anything else." An Mo herself was a child and at first wasn't very interested in the two kids. But she couldn't resist her father's inquiries, which were more punctual than meals, every time he went to check on the two little guys, and over time, she grew fond of them.

  It's even clearer why Grandfather is more concerned about these two children than he is about Han'gulang. Every time he goes to see the two children, they always greet him with a smile on their faces, and just looking at them makes one feel warm inside. As for protection, there isn't anyone more protective than Fei, this top-notch master who is always by the side of the two children.

  That white and tender little doll, I reckon Uncle Jade would love it even more if he saw it. Uncle Jade wanted to hold his grandson, but he had been thinking about it for so many years. I reckon when the time comes, Young Master Jade will be in trouble, Uncle Jade must want Young Master Jade to have a son for him to play with. To say that the medicinal powder mixed into porridge is really good, it actually raised such a big and chubby little doll.

  This time, Huan Gong Nang seems to be adjusting the formula again. Looking at such a simple thing, it's really not easy to make. An Mo has no objection to her own grandfather eating such things, and looking at her own grandfather's expression, it should be extremely delicious.

  "Hurry up and go." The little doll can already shout at people, and when I'm able to walk, I'll probably be able to call out "brother" too. Bae Myung-seon compared the size of the two children with his hands, but unfortunately, he still can't do anything right now. Previously, Won Seok-hwan didn't want to have contact with the child because his body was still carrying some dead energy at that time.

  That aura, Pei Mingxuan had felt it on the battlefield before. It was slightly more pronounced on people who had just died, but would completely disappear afterwards. At that time, he had also felt such an aura on himself, no wonder Yuan Shuhan didn't let him come into contact with the child, thinking about it now, it really wasn't very appropriate.

  "Yes, yes, yes." Grandfather was indeed anxious, An Mo carefully closed the door before going out.

  "An Mo, you've come just in time. I'll have these things sent to your home. There's sour plum lotus seed porridge, lotus meat cake, and half a candied sugar chicken. This is Gui Qi Dang tea, drink it until the flavor is light, it can be drunk regularly by your grandfather. I've divided them into small portions for you, if not enough, come find me to get more. Also, remind your grandfather not to eat too much at first, this tea has some nourishing blood effect, after a while he can eat freely."

  According to Yuan Shu's previous words, it is also good to give Pei Mingxuan some nourishment for his blood now, but he should not drink too much.

  "I'm grateful, Auntie, thank you to Han girl on my behalf." An Mo looked at today's meal, although it was still simple and plain, but everything was extremely good. It seemed that Han girl had prepared them in advance, much better than the soup from previous days. Although they knew that Grandfather shouldn't eat too much at that time, seeing him suffer still pained them.

  Fortunately, although it's still a bit of suffering, the effect is indeed good. Watching her father's body recover day by day, An Mo had an urge to cry. Today, these things may not look like much, but they've all been exchanged for something that can fill their stomachs.

  "These dishes are indeed a bit difficult to eat, but the portion is still a bit small. Lord Pei's body is weak from illness, and eating too much at once won't be good for him." These things are more worrying than those children, and they also know more about Yuan Shu's kind intentions.

  It's actually not as easy to cure this disease as one might imagine, and just the daily food alone is enough to worry about.

  "I was wrong to blame Yuanyu before, thinking that she couldn't even eat what I made. But now that I'm at Yuanyu's place, I have to complain about not being full every day. It turns out that I was too rash and wrongly blamed Yuanyu." Anmo thought back to when he first came, and his face turned slightly red thinking about what he did to Yuanyu.

  "Alright, if we drag this on any longer, it'll all go cold." Wang You felt that this was just a reckless child, but the heart behind it was also resolute. Someone like Lord Pei, who could bring people along with him, would never be someone who didn't know good from bad.

  An Mo opened the door and went in, putting the tray on the table. Looking at her father's satisfied expression, she knew that he was extremely pleased with this meal. Huan had never prepared anything that didn't meet his expectations.

  "It looks like it's extremely filling, and indeed it's much better than before." Pei Mingxuan didn't hide in front of An Mo, and started devouring the small half-chicken, eating with relish that was extremely fragrant and sweet.

  An Mo turned around to brew the tea, which would also help digest the greasiness. Although the combination was sour jujube lotus seed porridge with lotus paste cake, they were all very light dishes. However, eating those things alone was a bit too dry, and after drinking this tea, it would be just right to eat them. Indeed, Han Gu Niang had thought of everything.

  For convenience of fetching water every day, there is a stove at this gate, always keeping hot water warm.
