Ahem, Xiaoer, why are you here? "Mrs. Gu looked at Mu Yunxiao and asked lovingly.

Mrs. Gu now seems to be a loving mother. She is far different from her harsh words before. Her whole person has lost its sharp edges and is instead filled with softness.

Mu Yunxiao looked at Mrs. Gu with bloodshot eyes and asked distressedly: "Mom, have you not had a good rest for several days?"

"No." Mrs. Gu shook her head and carefully embroidered the wedding dress with gold thread.

Hearing Mrs. Gu's words, Mu Yunxiao took two steps forward, took the wedding dress out of her hand, threw it on the table, and said: "You still said no, look at your eyes, they are all red. Didn’t the Ministry of Etiquette prepare wedding clothes, why are you still embroidering them?"

"Yun Xiao, what are you doing?" Mrs. Gu said, holding the wedding dress in her hand and looking at Mu Yunxiao dissatisfied.

After a while, Mrs. Gu looked at Mu Yunxiao and said: "The preparations made by the Ministry of Rites are different from what I embroidered myself. You don't know how long I have been looking forward to this day. Your sister is my only daughter. I owe her a lot." Yeah, I just want to make up for it."

"Then I'll talk to Jiuwei and ask her to postpone the wedding for two days." Mu Yunxiao compromised.

"You, when will you grow up? The date set for marriage can't be changed at will. Just don't make trouble for me." Mrs. Gu said helplessly.

Mu Yunxiao looked at the bloodshot eyes of Mrs. Gu and sighed. He could only sit there quietly and watch her embroider the wedding dress stitch by stitch.

"Mom, did you know that Ning Jiuwei and Qin Lin went to pick up Mrs. Long today?" Mu Yunxiao said.

Mrs. Gu paused her hand, then smiled and said, "Mrs. Long is Jiuwei's adoptive mother. Without her, I'm afraid I would never see Jiuwei again. Wouldn't it be normal for Jiuwei to pick her up?"

"That's what I said, but I just feel uncomfortable in my heart. My mother has been embroidering wedding clothes for her for the past half month. She's not doing well. Apart from sending some things over, she hasn't come to see her. As a result, when Mrs. Long came, She runs fast." Mu Yunxiao said unhappily.

After hearing Mu Yunxiao's words, Mrs. Gu didn't speak. In fact, she felt sour in her heart, but she knew in her heart that the reason why Jiuwei didn't come was because she was afraid that it would be too embarrassing to meet her and she didn't know how to face her.

Mrs. Gu put down her needle and thread, looked at Mu Yunxiao, and said, "Don't stay here anymore. Take your things to the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion to have a look. When Jiuwei's matter is understood, your marriage to Rong Xi will also be revealed." It’s time to take care of it.”

"I don't know what Rong Xi has been busy with recently. He always avoids me. I won't blame him anymore." Mu Yunxiao heard Mrs. Gu mention Shen Rong Xi and shook his head.

"Is it because you haven't paid attention to Rong Xi recently and she is angry? Why don't you go and calm her down?" Mrs. Gu said.

Mu Yunxiao shook his head, frowned and said, "No, I don't know what's wrong with her. She's always been in a panic lately and hesitates to speak."

"Are you in a panic?" Mrs. Gu knew that Shen Rongxi had a domineering and restless temper. She was not afraid of the sky falling, so how could she be in a panic.

At this time, Chunhong walked in and said: "Madam, King Zhenbei and Miss Shen are here with things. The master is entertaining in the front hall, and Miss Shen is shouting to wish Madam New Year's greetings."

When Mrs. Gu heard what Chun Hong said, she looked at Mu Yunxiao with a smile and said, "Isn't this coming? Yun Xiao, go and invite Rong Xi."

… …

Ning Jiuwei and Qin Lin directly brought Long Yurong and He Lanxuan to the prince's palace, and they were so arrogant that the emperor in the palace must have got the news.

Long Yurong looks very good recently, and her body does not seem so weak anymore. On the other hand, He Lanxuan's face is a little pale, and his left arm is empty.

"What's going on?" Although Qin Lin didn't recognize He Lanxuan as his father, he was very concerned in his heart and asked with a frown.

He Lanxuan smiled and said, "I cut it myself. It's no big deal. There's no need to worry."

After hearing He Lanxuan's words, Qin Lin pursed his lips and said nothing, frowning slightly. He was obviously not satisfied with the answer. This expression made Long Yurong on the side couldn't help but smile.

"Jiuwei, ignore them two. Let's have a chat and tell mother how Lin'er treats you. Is it good? If not, we won't get married." Long Yurong said as she walked out. Said loudly.

Ning Jiuwei couldn't help but rub her eyebrows. She was afraid that Qin Lin wouldn't hear her. She shouted so loudly that she could imagine how ugly Qin Lin's face looked even if she didn't look back.

"Mom, tell me, what happened to his arm?" Ning Jiuwei asked.

"It's nothing, it's just Tian Ji. He feels very sorry, so..." The smile on Long Yurong's face faded and she spoke.

Ning Jiuwei fell silent when she heard Long Yurong's words. She never thought it could be the reason, and the sullenness in her heart suddenly disappeared.

In the past, because of Long Yurong's face, she was still very uncomfortable even if she didn't show it to He Lanxuan, because to her, Chu Tianyi was the one who was good to her.

Not taking revenge became the thing she felt most guilty about. Now that she learned that He Lanxuan's arm was broken, she suddenly looked away. Maybe Chu Tianyi had never thought about revenge, he just wanted Long Yurong to be happy.

"Mom, since it has happened, don't think about it anymore. You have to look forward. I believe that you and him will live well." Ning Jiuwei, who was not very good at comforting others, said.

Long Yurong smiled and nodded, and said, "I don't have any ideas now. As long as I can be with him, it will be great. Jiuwei, you should also cherish Qin Lin. It is not easy for two people to come together."

"Yes." Ning Jiu smiled and nodded.

While the two were talking, Ning Jiuwei's expression suddenly changed, and she blocked her face with her right hand. She only heard a "swish" sound in the air, and she held a dart between her two fingers.

There was a piece of paper sandwiched on the dart. After unfolding it, the two people were stunned by what was written on it: Thirteen years ago, that child was still alive.

"Mother..." Ning Jiuwei looked at Long Yurong's face turning pale for a moment, and shouted with some worry.

Awakened by Ning Jiuwei's voice, Long Yurong took the note and walked towards the hall with some staggering steps. My child, her child was still alive.

"Axuan, Axuan, look..." Long Yurong said with a choked voice.

The two father and son who were chatting stood up worriedly when they heard Long Yurong's voice. He Lanxuan stepped forward, put his arms around Long Yurong's waist, and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Qin Lin looked at Ning Jiuwei on the side. Ning Jiuwei looked at him and said, "It seems to be news about your brother. The note said that my mother's child is still alive, so she was a little excited."

"Is this true?" Qin Lin asked with a frown.

Ning Jiu shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know. Anyway, that's what was written on the note. Maybe someone is trying to make something mysterious."

Qin Lin frowned slightly and said, "When did this note not come? Why did it appear at this time?"

"What do you mean, what's the conspiracy behind this?" Ning Jiuwei asked.

"I don't know, and there were very few people who knew about this back then, and the emperor was one of them..." Qin Lin said with a serious look on his face.

Ning Jiuwei looked at the two excited people not far away and couldn't help frowning. If this matter was really done by the emperor, could it be to get rid of them two.
