Although it was just a child, Lian Xi's words broke the cold and stiff atmosphere and made her feel much more relaxed.

When their married daughter came back home, she was already living under someone else's roof. Lian Xi then lived a more cautious and low-key life, trying his best to not cause trouble for anyone and not let anyone notice.

But the child Lian Tou often came to her and talked to her. On the days like the Moon Lantern Festival in the middle of autumn, he would either send her a mooncake or a lantern. Every time he appeared in front of her, he would be so happy.

Because of this, the Prime Minister's Office started to gossip about this widowed lady's intentions in the Prime Minister's Hall. They wanted to use her legitimate son's hand in marriage to scheme against them. After she realized this, she estranged herself from his hand.

After a while, Huang Cen returned. He walked up to Lian Xi and said, ”Aunt, the porridge is already cooking.”

”Yes.” Lian Xi ordered, ”These days, Young Master Gu's food is taken care of by the small kitchen of Qingan courtyard. Don't let others take the fake hand. Watch every item that is carried out from the small kitchen so that there won't be any problems.”

”Yes.” Huang Cen replied.

Lian Yan Qing, his mother, and the first wife rushed to the entrance of the Prime Minister's Residence. They saw a horse carriage with a yellow treasure roof stop in front of the gate, emitting a noble and mysterious aura.

Beside the palanquin, besides the people of the Lian Residence, there were also a few guards. Lian Yanqing was stunned for a moment. From the clothes of these guards, one could tell that they had quite a background, so he became even more cautious.

Greenwood opened the curtain of the carriage: ”Miss, we are here.”

A woman wearing a white cloak walked out of the carriage …

”Yue Er!” When the first wife saw the person walking out from the palanquin, she immediately ran towards her without a second thought. She tightly gripped her hands as she sized up the person before her with hot tears in her eyes. ”It's you! It's really you! I thought …”

”Mother, I'm back. I'm fine.” Lian Ruyue saw the haggard expression on the eldest wife's face and knew how anxious she must have been when she disappeared.

”Yue Er …” When her mother saw Lian Ruyue, her heart, which was hanging in midair, finally relaxed. She was overjoyed. ”Great! You're back. God bless you.”

When Lian Yan Qing saw that familiar face, he secretly let out a sigh and said, ”You finally came back safely.”

Lian Ru Yue walked to her mother and Lian Yan Qing and said, ”Yue Er has made grandmother and father worry.”

”It's good that you're back, it's better than anything else.” Even her mother, who had always neglected to express her feelings in front of her juniors, left behind two streams of tears after her excitement.

”Prime Minister.” At this moment, Imperial Physician Hua, who was carrying a medicine box, walked over and said, ”This lowly servant has followed orders to come and treat Young Master Lian.”

”Honored prime minister, the young miss has been delivered, and so has Imperial Physician Hua. This lowly official will take his leave and report back to the ninth prince.” At this time, a black-robed guard walked in front of Lian Yanqing.

Only when Lian Yan Qing looked over, did he realize that this person was actually the current Emperor before him, the Ninth Prince of the Great Hall's first personal guard, Ye Feng. Doubts appeared in his eyes:

”Ninth Prince …”

”Father, your daughter escaped from danger and was lucky to have the ninth prince's help.” Lian Ruyue explained on the side.
