He'd rather run than be turned into a cannon fodder for the broken engagement.

Chapter 176 Who doesn't have a strict mother?

Jiang Ruoyu: "Haha, he's a smart kid."

"Uncle-Master, Yun Du is quite heavy, let him get down." Perhaps because Fu Xun himself had this kind of personality, he felt the same way and simply offered to help his son.

As if remembering something, Jiang Ruoyu put Yun Du down and took out a protective magic bracelet. "It wasn't convenient before, but now your master is giving you a gift. Yun Du, take it and play with it."

He then took out another storage bag and flew it to Leng Huan's side. "These are gifts that the other elders asked me to bring to the child."

"I see. It's like a child receiving a red envelope." Leng Huan nodded, "Then I thank all the senior uncles and elders on my behalf."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, the child became restless, so Fu Xun said something and took Yun Du out to play in the yard.

The master and apprentice remained seated facing each other, sipping tea and chatting.

Jiang Ruoyu took a sip of tea: "Little Si, you really do big things quietly..."

She's done so many big things, Leng Huan: "...Which one are you referring to?"

Jiang Ruoyu asked in surprise, "Hmm... Hiss, your cultivation has progressed too fast, it's a once-in-a-millennium event. Don't you feel that your realm is unstable?"

Leng Huan shook his head: "I feel that my realm is very stable. Maybe God thinks that I have worked too hard and is very lenient with me. I have never encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation."

Jiang Ruoyu: "...Only you in this world have such self-awareness."

Knowing that Lao Deng was mocking her, Leng Huan pouted, "You've been gone for over ten years, and you're still as humorous as ever. Master, how have you been?"

Jiang Ruoyu couldn't help but laugh: "Hehe, you little rascal, you never suffer a loss."

Then, when the conversation turned to her wedding, someone asked, "Did you send a letter to your family? Have you and your husband chosen a date?"

Leng Huan: "I've written it down and made the selection. The wedding will be in about four months."

Actually, at this point, Leng Huan wouldn't have had any objections whether it was sooner or later.

After saying goodbye to Master Deng and leaving the main hall, I saw a big boy and a little boy playing by the flowerbed in the distance.

"Daddy, look, the ants are so tiny."

"Yes, ants may be small, but they are incredibly strong."

Hearing this, Leng Huan saw Fu Xun throw a piece of candied fruit on the ground, and then he heard him say, "Look, they will carry food that is many times larger than their own bodies home."

"Ah!" Yun Du squatted down to look closely and saw more and more ants coming to carry food. "Why did they call so many friends?"

Leng Huan happened to walk over, and squatted down with him, lifting his skirt to watch. "Because the little ants have magic powers that we humans can't see. They will call many of their companions to help them."

Two large and one small, head to head.

Children enjoy observing these small animals; let him see for himself. Leng Huan stood up and suddenly asked Fu Xun, "Why is the ceremony four months from now?" He thought Fu Xun would be anxious.

Fu Xun stood up straight. "Because we need enough time to prepare the ceremony, the most important event in the life of a future ruler cannot be simple. My wife doesn't need to worry about anything, just wait for the wedding."

Leng Huan: "..." That makes a lot of sense.

As darkness fell, Leng Huan wanted to take Yun Du back to Maple Forest Garden, but Fu Xun took them to their new residence instead.

Mingxiu Peak, Jufang Hall.

The servants were all doing their jobs and everything was ready. Leng Huan looked at the main room in the inner courtyard. It was exquisite and elegant, and the furnishings were very similar to the main bedroom in Maple Forest Garden. Even the curtains were pink and blue.

Aside from the lack of a dog bed and toys, at first glance it looks like a woman's boudoir, so...

When did you set this up?

Why so fast? Leng Huan had originally planned to live separately for the time being, and they could spend their days together playing with the child.

"After the meeting, Fu Xun had already activated the protective array of the entire Jufang Hall with the key when he arrived, indicating that the hall already had an owner."

This is the main hall of Mingxiu Peak. The scenery is beautiful, and the place is spacious, so children can play freely.

"Come on, Daddy will take you to your own children's room." This concept of a room was mentioned by Leng Huan before. Fu Xun picked up Yun Du and went to the next room as expected.

Leng Huan walked around the room with her hands behind her back, and upon hearing this, she slowly followed them, her golden pomegranate skirt brushing against the threshold.

The children's room is well-maintained both inside and out, with bright natural light, making it very comfortable to live in.

There are cloth tigers, cats and dogs on the table, and a shelf on one side is full of all kinds of novel toys. There are rocking horses, drums, and several small red silk balls on the carpet... It's very childlike.

Wow! Is this really my room?

Fu Xun: "Okay. You'll be living here from now on."

"Great!" Yun Du's eyes widened, and he shouted "Wow!" before running off to play. He touched this and looked at that, finally choosing the rocking horse.

Leng Huan sat on the edge of the bed and casually touched the bright red quilt cover with the "Fu" (福, meaning good fortune) pattern. Hmm, it's very unique; it's a children's "Hundred Blessings" quilt.

Everything in this room is perfect, and every detail is exquisite; it's clear that the person who designed it put a lot of thought into it.

The lingering resentment in Leng Huan's heart finally dissipated completely. Fu Xun stayed with Yun Du for a while, then slowly strolled in and stood in front of her.

She looked up at him for a moment, then patted the bed beside her. "Sit." Her black robe with gold thread and sheer gauze sleeves shimmered.

The room was brightly lit, making people's expressions clearly visible.

Fu Xun straightened his clothes and sat down beside her. Seeing that she didn't seem to be dissatisfied with anything, he dared to reach out and hold her fingertips, asking, "Wife, are you in a better mood?"

She had been a little unhappy ever since the Southern Continent, and Fu Xun knew that she was unhappy because of his absence from the child's growth.

So along the way, including now, we are trying our best to make up for Yun Du's shortcomings.

Leng Huan paused for a moment upon hearing this. In fact, she hadn't shown it very obviously, but she didn't expect him to notice. She simply said, "Alright."

In fact, both of them were first-time parents and lacked experience, but they would always improve.

"My lady, do you see any parts of this courtyard that need to be changed?"

"No need to change it, it's all good."

Leng Huan withdrew his hand, finished speaking, and went to check on the child.

As the soft warmth left his hand, Fu Xun rubbed his fingertips for a moment. The child was so clingy. Could it be that the couple had had very little time for intimate contact in all this time?

The night grew deep.

Yun Du is very interested in the new place. The novelty hasn't worn off yet, and it seems like he wants to keep playing. He has endless energy.

Leng Huan could only tempt him with delicious food. Yun Du was tired but didn't realize it. He smelled the aroma of food, patted his little belly, looked at the new toys, and decided to eat first before playing... However, he got sleepy not long after eating.

“Kids can really play, they don’t even get hungry after several hours.” Leng Huan put the child on the bed, covered him with a blanket, turned to look at Fu Xun, and gestured towards the door with his chin. “It’s getting late, you should go and rest. I’ll sleep with the child.”

Fu Xun didn't move. "Yun Du will be three years old soon. Shouldn't he sleep in his own room?"

Leng Huan paused. The child was growing up and needed to be developed to be independent; he was of kindergarten age. However, he had only just arrived in a new environment, and Leng Huan was worried that he wouldn't adapt well.

"That makes sense, but we've just moved to a new place, let him adjust for a while. If he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't find anyone, he'll be scared."

Fu Xun: "It's alright, we can just set up a small restriction. Besides, there's a bell by the bed, he can ring it."

“But…” Leng Huan was still worried, but Fu Xun convinced him with one sentence: “Wife, we can love the child, but we can’t spoil him.”

"..." Leng Huan got up and went back to the next room.

Who isn't a strict mother at some point?
