Lian Gui did not wait long before reporting: Two boys had arrived, asking whether to bring them in or not.
Duke An waved his hand, "Let them in." He hadn't felt such joy in many years; the children of his own mansion had won in a brawl. Moreover, they were outnumbered and yet overcame their stronger adversaries. For a military general who had battled on the field for most of his life, could there be anything more gratifying?
Three children walked in one after another. Jiuhua, trailing at the rear, looked a bit uneasy, but Qi Sanshun and Qi Jiaer seemed more at ease. Before coming out, their big sister had instructed them to just go to Duke An's place and say whatever came to mind without fear, assuring them that nothing untoward would happen.
