The three little ones squatted in the courtyard to catch crickets.

It was dark. No one knew how they saw the crickets.

Xiaohu caught a big one and came over to show it off to his brothers.

Unexpectedly, compared to Dahu and Erhu, the younger brother was still the younger brother.

Xiaohu was unhappy and shook his head. “Hmph, I won’t catch it anymore! I’ll go ride a horse!”

The stone lion was too tall for him to climb up. He used his hands and feet, sweating profusely.

It was Dahu and Erhu who came over. The two brothers supported his butt with all their might and pushed him up.

Xiaohu rode the mighty and domineering stone lion in satisfaction and shook his head proudly.

“Dahu, Erhu, come over too!”

Sometimes he addressed them as his brothers, sometimes by name.

The small ancestral hall was remote and there were no unrelated people around. Other than the white-robed man, the secret guard, and Yuchi Xiu, there was only an old nanny who had served Matriarch Wei for many years.

“The young masters are so lively.” the old nanny said. The secret guard said, “It wasn’t like this in the past.”

The old nanny looked at him in confusion.

The secret guard deliberated for a moment and felt that the old nanny was one of them and could be trusted, so he told her about the young masters’ past he had heard from Yuchi Xiu. “At first, it was very tragic… especially tragic… They were as thin as monkeys… They didn’t say anything when they met people…”

The three little ones were tired of playing and began to look for Su Xiaoxiao. The three of them walked in and grabbed Wei Ting’s hand. “I want Mother.” Wei Ting remained silent and looked at Matriarch Wei silently.

Old Madam Wei said kindly to the three little ones, “Sleep in Great-Grandma’s room, okay? Great-Grandma’s room has a lot of delicious food and fun things. Whatever you want, Great-Grandma will get it for you.”

“I want mother,” Dahu said.

“Mother,” Erhu said.

Xiaohu was about to cry.

Although they had fun during the day and were fine with anyone, they only wanted Su Xiaoxiao at night.

Wei Ting had spent a lot of effort to bring them out tonight.

“Mother…”

The three of them wanted Su Xiaoxiao, and there was a weak cry in their voices. Their little heads rubbed against Wei Ting’s legs anxiously.

Xiaohu began to scratch his head.

Looking at the three of them’s uncomfortable and aggrieved expressions, Matriarch Wei’s heart ached.

In the end, Matriarch Wei let Wei Ting leave with them.

Looking at the disappearing figures in the night, Old Madam Wei did not retract her gaze for a long time.

Nanny Li brought a cloak to Matriarch Wei’s side. “It’s cold at night. Be careful not to catch a cold.”

Nanny Li draped the cloak over Old Madam Wei.

Matriarch Wei’s eyes flickered. “The children are so strong, like calves.” Nanny Li said, “I heard that when Young Master first found them, they almost died.”

Old Madam Wei frowned.

Nanny Li said, “Young Master probably didn’t want you to be sad, so he didn’t tell you. When Young Master found them in a cellar, the wet nurse was already dead. The three of them were lying beside the corpse. I don’t know how long they’ve been hungry for, but they were only left with their last breath.” Old Madam Wei’s heart clenched.

Nanny Li said in a low voice, “After coming out, the three young masters were stunned like three frightened quails. They were not strong and were only skin and bones. Their behavior… was also different from ordinary children.”

“After Young Master was by their side for a while, they improved a little, but they only became normal after he found them a stepmother.” Old Madam Wei frowned. “You mean that girl from the Qin family?”

Nanny Li nodded. “That’s her.”

Matriarch Wei snorted coldly. “Hmph, did that kid deliberately get someone to fabricate these for you to hear? He wants to use you to blow the wind beside my

ear! ”

Nanny Li said, “Matriarch, Fu Su is your person.”

Fu Su was the secret guard driving the carriage beside Wei Ting.

Old Madam Wei said with a dark expression, “He has long sided with outsiders. If he was really on my side, would he have hidden that girl’s background? If not for the Third Prince secretly letting me know, I wouldn’t have known that my grandson had married the enemy’s flesh and blood!”
