“Be careful. Don’t fall.”
Qian Jiyun picked up Qian Yizheng and shelved his questions regarding the male servant temporarily.
They coaxed the two children for a while before Servant Three arrived carrying Lu’er.
Zheng’er and Rong’er could not keep still in their arms any longer and wriggled down to play with Lu’er.
They were still playing with the mechanical bird toy as they had yet to figure out how it could fly.
An Jiuyue knew what Qian Jiyun wanted to ask, so she explained, “They’re not humans. They’re paper effigies I got at the Points Mall. I can’t explain it to you in a short time, so I won’t.”
In ancient times, no one would question a man if he had thousands of female attendants.
However, people would not accept a woman with a male attendant. They would point fingers and say bad things about her.
That was the present situation.
Fortunately, her servants stayed within the microcosmic space. Only the warrior-servants could leave and accompany Zheng’er and Rong’er.
But then again, she was not afraid of what people would say. It was not like she would lose anything because someone said something.
Qian Jiyun understood. He was not surprised because An Jiuyue had many strange things.
“You can raise the two deer in this residence. That way, Zheng’er and Rong’er won’t feel bored,” he suggested.
An Jiuyue was planning to raise not only the deer but also a nest of long-haired rabbits and a few pheasants in the courtyard. Her small children could raise small animals.
“I will.” She took a deep breath and exhaled heavily. “I didn’t expect Wang Xing’er to really do such a heinous thing. I was too careless.”
She was the one who rescued Wang Xing’er from the flood. Back then, she did not know this woman was so vicious.
Wang Xing’er even thanked her sincerely. Who would have known she deemed An Jiuyue a hateful woman in her heart?
Indeed, one should not judge a book by its cover or judge another by an incident.
Any incident could change someone and change them beyond recognition. The selfishness and viciousness within Wang Xing’er were instantly unveiled during the epidemic.
“It’s not your fault.” Qian Jiyun did not know what to say.
They were not at fault. No one would have expected someone to boldly drag her unwell body to seek revenge from someone who had never offended her!
He parted his thin lips. He wanted to say that arranging for the children to live here was not a long-term solution.
However, he could not say it out loud.
Even he was a little afraid after what had happened this time, let alone An Jiuyue, who had been with the children all day and night. It was safest to keep the children here.
Of course, An Jiuyue knew keeping the children here was not a long-term solution.
But she had no choice. Given the raging epidemic, she would not be able to find a house and buy it.
An Yilu, An Yizhou, and An Yixing were still young and could be raised in the Microcosm for a few years.
Meanwhile, Zheng’er and Rong’er could be allowed to leave the Microcosm every day. She could rest assured as long as Warrior-Servant One and Warrior-Servant Two accompanied them. Their combat abilities were beyond the people of this era.
