The Ghost King’s Wife is Sassy and Beautiful - Chapter 287

287 Bring the Children to My Courtyard Tonight

The family of four returned to the Yuan Mansion.

The secret guards kept sending news to Mo Beiyuan.

Yun Ran knew that this news should be about this earthquake, so she leaned over to listen.

After Mo Beiyuan read the news, his expression darkened.

!!
Yun Ran had asked Thunderbolt and the other secret guards and learned that the Imperial City had not experienced the earthquake before, but they and their master had experienced it when they went to other places.

Thunderbolt and the others also said that the earthquake this time looked abnormal.

It was different from the earthquake they had experienced before.

She asked Thunderbolt and the rest, “How is it different?”

Thunderbolt said, “In the past, Master and I went to the city where the earthquake happened and saved people. We have some understanding of the earthquake. Before the earthquake, there would be some warnings. For example, some demon beasts would be panicking and roaring wildly. Snakes, insects, rats, ants would crawl out from the ground, and the flowers and trees withered abnormally. However, before the earthquake in the Imperial City this time, there was no sign at all.”

That was why they felt that the earthquake this time was a little abnormal.

“Was this earthquake an accident? Or was there another reason?” Yun Ran asked curiously.

Mo Beiyuan handed her the note from Raven, indicating for her to read it herself.

Yun Ran took it and scanned the contents of the note as quickly as she could.

The contents of the note were mostly about the impact of the earthquake on various parts of the Imperial City, such as the collapse of houses, huge cracks, and some casualties.

However, Yun Ran’s gaze lingered on one of the notes for a moment longer.

“There is something unusual at the Imperial Mausoleum of the East Continent. The place where the earthquake is the most serious is the Imperial Mausoleum of the East Continent? In other words, the epicenter of the earthquake is not the Imperial City, but the Imperial Mausoleum of the East Continent?”

It had to be said that the Yuan Mansion’s 12 Divisions were very powerful when it came to their information networks. In just a short period of time, they actually found the central area of the earthquake.

“Mo Beiyuan, do you want to go to the Imperial Mausoleum to take a look?”

After all, his ancestors were lying there.

“There’s no need to.”

Mo Beiyuan was not interested in the ancestors of the royal family. He looked at her with a pair of cold and deep eyes. His gaze stopped on her small face. “The earthquake might happen a second time, a third time, or even many times. Tonight, bring the children to my courtyard.”

Yun Ran knew that he was concerned about the safety of the two children. In addition, he might be worried that she would die and implicate him.

Hence, she nodded in agreement.

She brought the two little packrats and stayed in the same room as him.

Sweetcake was overjoyed when she heard that they were going to sleep with their father today.

Before Sweetcake fell asleep, she held her fair and tender feet and shouted that she was going to have a little brother.

“Little brother?”

Yun Ran recalled the conversation about her “little brother” in the carriage before entering the palace and could not help but retreat. “Mo Beiyuan, coax her to sleep. I still have something to do.”

“Daddy, when will Sweetcake have a little brother?”

The little packrat widened her big black eyes and looked energetic.

Mo Beiyuan did not expect her to suddenly mention this topic again, so he continued to coax her with the same reason as before.

“You’ll have one when you’re older.”

“But Sweetcake has already grown up! She’s about to be four years old.”

The packrat raised four fingers as she spoke, indicating that she had really grown up.

“Father and Mother, do you not want to give Sweetcake and Brother a little brother?”
