An was already asleep in the cradle. Huier and Xia Zhu had already bathed him before Shen Wan came back.

Shen Wan heard Xia Zhu calling the general outside the house and knew that Song Heng wanted to give her something before setting off for the expedition, so she walked out.

Song Heng was sitting on a round stool, and Xia Zhu poured him tea. After Shen Wan walked out of the inner room, she didn't say anything. She walked to the Kang and sat down, waiting for Song Heng to talk to her.

Xia Zhu very wisely withdrew and even closed the door thoughtfully.

After a period of silence, Song Heng spoke.

"I will go on an expedition tomorrow."

"I know." He had already said this in his mother-in-law's courtyard.

Next, there was another period of silence.

"You have no eyes on the battlefield..." Shen Wan broke the silence, her voice a little tight when she spoke, "Be careful."

Song Heng's eyes moved slightly and he nodded: "I will do it. After I leave, the family will rely on you."

Although she doesn't have to worry about trivial matters at home, Butler Yun will make arrangements, but the two children still have to rely on her to educate them.

Shen Wan said softly "Yeah".

"I'm leaving first." Song Heng stood up and walked to the door, opened it and walked out.

Shen Wan also stood up and watched him leave Qiushi Yard.

next day

At three o'clock in the morning, Xuanyuan Yu and all the civil and military officials stood on the high city wall.

Outside the city gate, 200,000 troops stood neatly outside the city gate. Looking down from the city wall, they were all full of people.

Song Heng stood at the front wearing silver armor and a long knife at his waist.

The Song family stood at the gate of the city and came to see Song Heng off. Mrs. Liu felt unwell and felt dizzy when she woke up early in the morning, so she did not come.

Shen Wan held Xiao An in her arms. This was the first time she saw Song Heng wearing such armor. He looked quite heroic and majestic.

"Ahhh..." the boy An screamed, opening and closing his little fleshy hands in the direction of his father.

"That's your father." Shen Wan whispered to her son.

"Guo Guo."

"It's not Guo Guo," Shen Wan chuckled, "It's dad."

"Hit..." Xiao Zian's eyes widened.

"Who are you going to hit?" Shen Wanxiao asked.

Song Ziling came over and said, "Brother, do you also want to fight the barbarians?"

"Guo Guo." Boy An shouted with saliva.

"Hey" Song Ziling responded with a smile and wiped his saliva with the handkerchief hanging on his brother's collar.

"Sister." Princess Liufang's voice sounded later.

Shen Wan turned her head and saw Princess Liufang, who was wearing a light blue cross-neck skirt and her hair was slicked up.

"Aunt Fang." Song Ziling raised his hands and saluted her.

"Princess." Butler Yun and the maid who followed also bowed to Princess Liufang.

Princess Liufang nodded and said, "No need to be polite."

She also came to pay tribute to General Song today. Although she was not married to Shen Ming yet, based on the friendship between their two families, she should come to give him a gift.

"Oh... An'an has grown up again!" This child just grows up fast, and after not seeing him for a while, he feels a lot older.

"My younger brother can call me elder brother now." Song Ziling started again.

"Really?" Princess Liufang's eyes widened as she looked at Xiao An, who was drooling and smiling at her.

"An'an calls me brother." Song Ziling immediately asked his brother to demonstrate.

"Guo Guo~ Guo Guo~"

Shen Wan puffed up her cheeks. Every time she heard her youngest son call him brother, she would feel jealous.

"An'an is really smart. She can call her brother at this point, but can she call her father and mother?" Princess Liufang asked.

Song Ziling raised his chin proudly, "No, An An will only call me brother."

"Song Ziling, that's enough." Shen Wan said.

Song Ziling shrugged his shoulders and whispered to Princess Liufang: "It's okay, my mother is just jealous."

"I heard Song Ziling." Shen Wan gritted her teeth.
