Chapter 1672: Chapter 1673: Going to the Capital City
This child has been a long-awaited hope for the couple. Initially, they believed they were destined not to bear a child for An Dafu, which was the greatest concern in Qiu Shi’s heart.
However, now this wish finally has a chance to come true, and she will do everything possible to ensure nothing unexpected happens to the child in her womb.
Yan Shi is often alone at home, typically idle because of the gossip of outsiders, she rarely goes out. With Qiu Shi around, she actually gains someone to talk to.
Moreover, with Qiu Shi pregnant, she helps with caregiving, which gives her something to do. Two women who have both given birth are never lacking in topics to discuss when they are together.
The sun sets in the west, the dusky sunlight now forms a line with the distant mountain peaks.
An Ning was in the courtyard, talking with Yan Shi, Qiu Shi, and Qinghe, when suddenly the sound of someone riding a horse was heard outside the gate.
When she stood still trying to listen clearly, the horse happened to stop right in front of the house gate.
Sikong Wuyou’s figure dismounted from the horse, rushing over with a slightly flustered appearance.
Entering through the cold door, he immediately saw An Ning inside the gate, then greeted Yan Shi and Qiu Shi.
After briefly exchanging a few words, Sikong Wuyou directly expressed his intent, "Wuyou came today to speak privately with An Ning. I hope the two mothers-in-law can forgive Wuyou’s rudeness."
Perhaps accustomed to this, Yan Shi did not find Sikong Wuyou’s action reckless, and agreed directly, "In that case, why not take a walk outside?"
Since he wanted to speak privately, it seemed inconvenient with so many people in the courtyard.
After greeting again, Sikong Wuyou took An Ning out.
After the two left, Qiu Shi asked Yan Shi, "Sister, you just let the two of them go out like that..."
Could it be that since these young ones are together, there’s no fear of them doing anything out of line?
Yan Shi smiled, "No worries, Wuyou is a steady child; he has discretion."
In reality, steady my foot.
She’s witnessed even more outrageous things, let alone just going for a walk.
If Qiu Shi knew that An Ning once stayed overnight in Sikong Wuyou’s room, although nothing happened, being alone in a room with a man and a woman is shocking enough.
Outside, An Ning followed Sikong Wuyou, walking all the way to a distant hillside, where he finally stopped.
Turning back and looking at An Ning, he didn’t know how to start.
Still, An Ning, puzzled, looked at him and asked, "What’s the matter? Did something happen?"
"Ningning, I have to go to the capital city, estimating I might return in a month, or three to five months at the latest," Sikong Wuyou spoke directly, his expression extremely serious.
This was his estimation of the minimum time required.
After all, the journey to the capital city would take some time, and once there, various matters still needed handling.
"So sudden, huh? Could it be something happened to uncle and aunt in the capital city?" Since, since the new emperor ascended to the throne, the War King couple had already gone to the capital city, and as half a year had passed, yet they hadn’t returned.
Sikong Wuyou nodded, "There are indeed some matters, but the specifics I haven’t received news of yet. My eldest brother sent word from the Royal Residence for all four of us brothers to gather in the capital city, so I must make this trip."
An Ning felt her heart tighten immediately, helplessly reaching out to grab Sikong Wuyou’s sleeve, "Can I... go with you?"
His serious demeanor made her feel a bit uneasy in her heart.
