Chapter 1385: Letting Go! [1]

The snow in Diaochan's separate courtyard hadn't been cleared yet. In the snow, little Duan Chen, who looked like a porcelain doll with apple-red cheeks and two small braids, was playing in the snow.

Hearing the sound at the courtyard gate, little Duan Chen immediately looked at Dong Yi with a pair of watery eyes.

"Mother... Mother is here." Little Duan Chen rushed toward Dong Yi.

Diaochan, wearing a red fox-fur cloak, smiled and straightened up: "Chen'er, slow down."

Since giving birth to little Duan Chen, Diaochan looked a bit more plump.

The mature, dignified, and beautiful temperament she exuded became even richer.

Dong Yi bent down to pick up little Duan Chen and said with a smile: "Has Chen'er listened to Mother these past few days?"

Little Duan Chen nodded obediently: "Yes~ Mother, where is Brother?"

"Your brother, he went to Mr. Li's place. He even said he missed you." Dong Yi reached out and gently scraped little Duan Chen's nose, her movements intimate.

"Chen'er misses Brother too~"

"Sister."

Dong Yi walked into Diaochan's separate courtyard while holding little Duan Chen.

Although Dong Yi was now the Princess of Liang, she still called Diaochan "Sister" in private.

Diaochan was Duan Yu's first woman; this was a fact that could never be changed.

In terms of order, Diaochan would always be senior to Dong Yi.

The reason for making Dong Yi the Princess wasn't because of Dong Zhuo's relationship or the Liangzhou generals' relationship.

The most important relationship was Dong Yi's son, Duan Mu.

As Duan Yu's son and eldest son, Duan Mu had to be established as the legitimate eldest son, that is, the Heir of the King of Liang.

This was not only to declare legitimacy but also a way to stabilize the interests of the group under his command.

Establishing an heir was equivalent to selecting the next generation's successor, so even if Duan Yu had an accident in the future, with an heir, the group under his command wouldn't collapse.

"Sister, why did you come so early?"

Diaochan looked at Dong Yi with some curiosity.

Dong Yi walked into Diaochan's separate courtyard with little Duan Chen, and then the two women walked toward the house together.

Compared to Dong Yi's separate courtyard, Diaochan's separate courtyard was decorated more elegantly and simply, with a feeling like when they were in the five villages of Jinyang; as soon as one entered the house, it felt very warm.

A charcoal fire was burning in the house.

The charcoal in the copper basin flickered.

"Chen'er, go play by yourself; Mother and your other Mother have something to talk about."

Diaochan knew that Dong Yi coming so early must have something to talk to her about.

So she winked at the maid beside her, letting the maid take little Duan Chen to play.

"Okay."

Little Duan Chen pouted and nodded reluctantly, then waved at Dong Yi.

"Sister, last night my husband received a message at my place saying that his good friend in Jizhou, Yuan Shao, was murdered."

Dong Yi recounted the matter to Diaochan.

"This year... Cao Cao, Hunu, and Yuan Shao—these were all the people my husband was closest to. After my husband learned this news, he has been sitting in the stone pavilion in the central courtyard. I'm a bit worried..."

"So I want to ask Sister to go and persuade my husband."

Hearing Dong Yi mention Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, and Hunu.

A touch of sorrow also appeared in Diaochan's eyes. ===== CHAPTER 1387 =====
