Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 660 Imperial Censor Luo and Old Man Luo
"What's wrong?" Hong Xiaoduo asked, looking at the three children standing in front of her with tense little faces. Even though she knew the answer in her heart, she pretended not to know.

"You know it, yet you pretend to be confused." Tianji's voice was trembling with grievance as soon as she spoke.

"Alright, don't be upset about this yet. Let's sort this out properly. You see, the fact that Kaiyang found his family back then was really just a coincidence."

Later, Tianxuan and Tianji found their family because of the characters on that bamboo plaque. I confirmed the characters on it. That's why, on a whim, I took them to confirm it.

Your family heard about the general process of how the two families found their children, and that their lost children were also around one year old. They also learned that I have several children who have not yet found their families.

Therefore, they came all this way with a glimmer of hope.

What does this show? It shows that they care about their child. It shows that even though they haven't found their lost child after so many years, they still haven't given up and are still full of hope and expectation.

They came, and I helped you with the blood kinship test, which was confirmed. All three of you have found your families, which is great news.

I know you're sad because you don't want to be separated from us, but you also need to figure out what's more important.

"Your father has seen you, but what about your mother, and the rest of your family who are also looking forward to seeing you..." Hong Xiaoduo's voice was hoarse from speaking so much.

While Hong Xiaoduo was drinking the tea that Tianxuan brought, Yuheng stepped forward and said cautiously, "Then Mother, can't you, Master, Sister Feiyan, and Second Brother and Fourth Brother come back with us one by one? We can stay at home for a few days."

Our three fathers have all agreed to change only our surnames back to our given names, without changing them.

Furthermore, they allowed us to continue following you and your master, saying that as long as we go home to see our family and elders first, we can go wherever we want with you afterward.

Huh? You can do that? She really hadn't expected that, and Hong Xiaoduo didn't know how to respond.

The children didn't want to be separated from her, even temporarily, and so did she!
While drinking at dinner just now, she suddenly found the answer. She had been inexplicably irritable these past two days because she couldn't bear to be separated from her children.

“Our father also said that it doesn’t matter which family we go to first. If you and Master agree, we will study the map carefully and plan the most suitable route so that we don’t have to backtrack,” Tian Shu said weakly.

"Don't worry about me, I'll do whatever you want." Quan Jinghuai immediately said when his disciple mentioned him.

Hong Xiaoduo glanced at him and thought to herself, "Heh, you sure know how to be a good person!"
"Tian Shu, if I remember correctly, your father is a second-rank censor, right? And you, Tian Ji, your father is a fifth-rank prefect. How could they be away for so long for personal matters?" Hong Xiaoduo asked with feigned curiosity.

“No, our three fathers have already discussed it. If you agree to take us home one by one, they will go back on their own first. So, we can take our time, there’s no rush,” Tianji said immediately after hearing Hong Xiaoduo’s words.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo nodded, then suddenly realized and said, "So you've already discussed it all, and if I don't agree, it's because I'm not a good person to talk to?"

Upon hearing this, the three children immediately shook their heads to indicate that it was not true.

However, the three of them were somewhat guilty at this moment, so guilty that they dared not look her in the eye.

"Now, can someone tell me what happened to your swollen eyes? Did you cry because you reunited with your father and talked about how much you missed your family?"

"Or did you ask your fathers if you wanted to continue following me, and you cried because you were afraid they wouldn't agree and you wanted to soften their hearts and make them agree?" Hong Xiaoduo put down her teacup and asked with her arms crossed.

With seven children by her side for over two years, how could she not see through their little schemes?
Hearing this, Quan Jinghuai couldn't stand it anymore and was about to speak up for his third disciple, asking how they could be spoken to like that.
But just as he was about to speak, he saw his three poor disciples lower their heads even further.

Well, these three good-for-nothings, it seems their 'mother' understands them better after all!
If you want your father to agree to let you continue following her, then you should have a proper discussion, appeal to his emotions and reason with him. If that doesn't work, then think of other ways. Why resort to crying?

Even Yao Guang wouldn't use this trick! How could those three have the nerve to do it?

"Alright, go wash up and go to bed. As for what you said, I'll consider it." Hong Xiaoduo couldn't bear to scold the three children, seeing them like this. Although Old Man Luo still hadn't cracked his grandfather's key, he still didn't know the purpose of bringing her here.

Since there is still no information about Xiao Yaoguang's background, it is feasible to promise the three children that we can take them home one by one for a reunion.

Hong Xiaoduo's concern was that, according to her original plan, finding families for each of the four children one by one wouldn't be so quick. However, she figured it wouldn't hurt to continue searching for the families of the other children while taking the children who had found their families with her.

However, she really didn't expect that things would go so smoothly for the next few children. Goodness, three children found their families all at once.

While the correct statement should be that the three children's families found them, for her, the result was the same.

The pace of things was different from what she had originally planned, which made her, who is usually decisive, somewhat hesitant when faced with the requests of her three children.

They might not be able to sleep tonight since they haven't received a definite answer, so be it.

It's okay for a child to stay up all night occasionally.

Tian Shu took the lead in responding, and the three of them walked towards the room.

Fueled by the alcohol, Hong Xiaoduo found herself in a better mood. However, she seemed to have forgotten something quite important.

If I can't remember, I simply stop thinking about it. After soaking my feet in hot water, I went to bed.

She didn't know if the three children were asleep or not, but she slept quite soundly that night.

The next day, she didn't get up until the sun was high in the sky. After washing up and going outside, Yuheng handed her an invitation. Prince Yi, Imperial Censor Luo, and Prefect Zhong were inviting her, Quan Jinghuai, Feiyan, and a few others to a midday banquet.

"Of course I'll go," Yuheng told her. "We've also hosted a banquet for Tianquan's parents, but they're leading troops to establish a new border today and can't leave."

"Oh my, our Yuheng is a princess. If I go to your father's fiefdom in the future, can I walk around like I own the place?" Hong Xiaoduo teased, pinching Yuheng's cheek with a smile.

“Mother, you can do whatever you want anywhere,” Yao Guang said from the side.

"Hey, you little brat, do you think I'm that arrogant?" Hong Xiaoduo turned around and scooped the little one into her arms.

Yao Guang struggled for a moment, then adjusted herself into a comfortable position: "Master has already said that you have a name in the martial arts world, even more famous than Master. You are called the Deadly Rakshasa."

Hong Xiaoduo already knew about this, and even complained that people in the martial arts world were unsophisticated for giving her such a tacky nickname.

Quan Jinghuai even said at the time, "If you think it sounds bad, come up with a nice one yourself, and I'll help spread it."

She actually thought about it for a few days, but found that it was too difficult to come up with a nickname that was both catchy and powerful, so she gave up.

Since they were invited to a banquet at noon, they couldn't arrive right on time. Hong Xiaoduo and her group arrived at Weixianlou Restaurant more than half an hour early.

When they arrived, they learned that the wealthy Prince Yi had booked the entire restaurant, not just for lunch, but for the whole day.

After Hong Xiaoduo greeted Tianji and Yuheng's fathers, she looked at Tianshu's father, Imperial Censor Luo.

Why does he look so familiar? The only person I know with the surname Luo is Old Man Luo. That's right, isn't that right? This Imperial Censor Luo and that Old Man Luo look very similar in face shape, eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth, except for Old Man Luo's bald patch.

But one of them is from ancient times and the other is from modern times. What kind of relationship could there be between them?
I don't have that ancient reign title in my computer...
