Lack of Protection

Li Xueyue heard nothing about an envoy or diplomat coming from Hanjian to Wuyi. She could safely assume Yu Zhen had truly given her more time. She was grateful of his response. It gave her more time to spend with the twins, even if it was only for a short while. 

"The house used to be filled with so much screams and laughter," Li Xueyue wondered out loud. 

Li Xueyue missed the days when the twins didn't have to work. Before they moved to the Capital, the twins were always at home to accompany her. 

Whether it was swordfighting with Wenmin or reading books with Chenyang, everything they did with her, she enjoyed. There were also days dedicated to archery training, where all three of them would enjoy the sport with smiles and laughter.

"Those were the days…" she trailed off.
