Yun Jinnian stood up and curtsied towards Mrs. Han, "Mother!"
"No need for such formalities, quickly sit down, breakfast will be ready soon!" Mrs. Han said, and then saw a few concubines slowly coming over.
Beside them were their children.
Mrs. Han glanced at Yun Qi, but did not expect him to let them come today.
"We greet the master, the madam, and the Commandery Princess!" Concubine Su took the lead and they all saluted.
Yun Zuomo and the others quickly followed, "Greetings to father, mother, and sister!"
Although Yun Kuan, Yun He, and Yun Mu were still young and didn’t understand, they still clasped their fists and saluted, "Greetings to father, mother, and sister!"
Mrs. Han smiled gently.
Yun Jinnian remained calm.
From the day she decided to return to the Yun Family, she knew this day would come sooner or later.
Looking at Mrs. Han’s gentle smile, Yun Jinnian felt somewhat relieved.
Yun Qi seemed quite satisfied with the politeness of the concubines and their children.
Yun He and Yun Mu ran over to Yun Jinnian, Yun He softly asked, "Are you the sister? The one who bought Hehe pastries yesterday?"
Yun Jinnian already loved plump little children, and Yun He and Yun Mu were both plump, looking very much alike, with big, clear, and innocent eyes, now filled with joy and admiration.
Her heart softened slightly, and she asked gently, "Yes, do you like them?"
"We like them, the pastries sister bought were delicious, but the concubine didn’t let us eat too much, she’s so mean!" Yun Mu said, leaning softly into Yun Jinnian’s arms, "Sister smells so nice, it’s different from the concubine’s scent!"
Looking at Yun Mu leaning in her arms, she eventually picked him up and sat him on her lap, "The scent on sister is medicinal, are you Mumu?"
"Sister is really clever, sometimes even the concubine can’t guess right!" Yun Mu said, giggling.
Yun Jinnian liked children who could laugh. Yun Mu’s laughter was so adorable that she couldn’t help but feel even more affectionate towards him.
"Have you had breakfast yet?"
Yun He and Yun Mu shook their heads.
They were dressed by the wet nurse and brought here before they had time for breakfast.
"Then have breakfast with sister, what do you like to eat? We can ask the kitchen to make it for you, okay?"
"We like everything!"
Mrs. Han, watching this, gently instructed Bai Que to go to the kitchen and inform them that a few young masters and young ladies would be staying for breakfast.
Then she said softly, "Boys and girls will stay for breakfast. Concubines, you may each return. Going forward, there’s no need to come over so early. After breakfast is fine. As for the boys and girls, if they want to come here for meals, they are welcome!"
The concubines withdrew.
Nine people sat around the table, yet it didn’t feel crowded.
Yun He and Yun Mu sat on either side of Yun Jinnian, chattering away happily. After each sentence, they giggled.
Saliva dribbled down.
Yun Jinnian didn’t mind, she took a handkerchief to wipe their mouths. Yun Kuan watched enviously, but he was shy and afraid of Yun Qi, so he didn’t dare speak, his face flushing red.
Yun Zuomo, Yun Qingzhi, and Yun Qingqing also dared not speak, their palms sweating in nervousness.
Mrs. Han kept smiling gently, and Yun Qi remained silent, but the upward curve of his lips showed he was quite happy.
Throughout, Yun He and Yun Mu kept talking, their giggles constant.
Yun Jinnian looked at Yun Kuan, whose face was red from holding back, and asked gently, "Are you Kuankuan?"
Yun Kuan responded immediately, looking at Yun Jinnian and nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes, sister, sister..."
Too nervous and excited to speak clearly.
"It’s okay, take your time!"
