Chapter 2248: Three Children

Having three children in one carriage made Zhao Xi feel overwhelmed. He couldn't handle it. While Song Le was fine, this little rascal, Yao Mumu, and Little Huohuo sitting together was a dangerous combination, living up to their names—wood meeting fire would definitely lead to combustion.

Zhao Xi couldn't imagine dealing with them all the way, and he wished he could just die.

He looked towards Shu Yu for help, and he saw her being reluctantly pulled away by Xiao Shi. He had an idea and quickly lifted up Little Huohuo and Yao Mumu with one hand each. He then let Song Le lie on his back, hugging his neck, and carried all three of them to Shu Yu's carriage.

When Shu Yu and Meng Yunzheng bid farewell to Minister Wan and the others and returned to their carriage, they found three pairs of round, bewildered eyes staring at them.

Shu Yu was speechless.

Meng Yunzheng frowned and looked at Zhao Xi. "Take your son..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zhao Xi directly grabbed the reins of the carriage and shouted, "Let's go!"

He took the lead in driving the carriage forward, and the rest of the caravan, unaware of the situation, followed suit.

Meng Yunzheng rubbed his temples and exchanged a glance with Shu Yu. "Let's get on the carriage."

Inside the carriage with three children, Aunt Hong took the initiative to take care of them, leaving the Hong family members outside who wanted to bid her farewell with no chance to do so.

As they watched the carriage move farther away, the Hong family members were left dumbfounded, mouths hanging open. They had to swallow their words.

When they were finally out of sight, they let out a sigh of relief.

Hong Laoda was quick to react. Considering that Meng Yunzheng and Shu Yu had left, but there were still many important figures present, he figured that maybe he could establish some connections. However, even someone like Yao Tianqin, who was not very worldly, could tell what he was thinking.

Therefore, they wasted no time and quickly said their goodbyes before getting on their carriages and leaving.

Meanwhile, Shu Yu's group continued to expand. With the addition of Hou Shi and her daughter and Yao Bo's family, the procession became even larger.

Inside their carriage, Aunt Hong nervously watched Shu Yu and opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something, but ultimately refrained.

She watched helplessly as Shu Yu used strips of cloth to tie up Little Huohuo and Yao Mumu and secure them to their seats.

"Alright, let's start a game now. One, two, three, statue. The first one to talk or move loses."

Little Huohuo blinked his eyes and played with the strip of cloth around his waist, not quite understanding what was happening.

Yao Mumu, on the other hand, couldn't help but ask, "Why are we tying up and playing games?"

Of course, it was to prevent you two from sticking your bodies out of the window. If one child was manageable, but if both of you did it together, it would be impossible to stop you.

Shu Yu told a little white lie with her eyes wide open. "I'm not tying you up; I'm giving you a marker. You see, if you move, I can tell just by looking at the strip of cloth, right?"

Yao Mumu tilted his head, still pondering whether it was true.

Seeing Little Huohuo raise his hand, he followed suit. "True."

Meng Yunzheng, Aunt Hong, "..."

Song Le: Luckily, he's no longer a two or three-year-old child.
