“Great!” Qin Xiaoyao replied with a smile.
Then, she said some comforting words before getting Yun Niang to leave with her.
During the day, there was almost no business at Cloud Scent Court. Therefore, Yun Niang did not hesitate and agreed to Qin Xiaoyao’s request.
The two of them went outside. Yun Niang instructed the maidservant to inform the brothel madame before leaving with Qin Xiaoyao.
On the horse carriage back to the manor, Yun Niang looked very nervous.
She was looking forward to meeting her aunt, but she was also a little afraid. In the end, she was afraid of meeting up with a close family member.
When she saw this, Qin Xiaoyao smiled and reached out to hold Yun Niangs hand.
Yun Niang flinched at once. After realizing that it was Qin Xiaoyao’s hand, she relaxed again.
“Mother is very easy to get along with. Don’t be nervous.” Qin Xiaoyao tried to pacify her.
Yun Niang nodded.
“Mm-hmm. I know.”
Her younger brother would occasionally tell her about her aunt. She knew that her aunt missed her, and she also knew that her aunt was a very gentle elder.
However, she was still a little worried. She was afraid that her aunt… would despise her.
She, the daughter of the Liu family, had fallen to the level of working in vice dens, bringing shame to the Liu family.
Qin Xiaoyao tightened her grip on Yun Niang’s hand.
She gave Yun Niang a reassuring smile.
“You’re going home this time to meet your relatives. Just keep an open mind. There is nothing to worry about.”
“To your aunt, knowing that Younger Cousin Ling is still alive, and you are still alive, and that she can see you two again with her own eyes, she is already very contented. As for the other things, they are not that important by a long shot.”
Yun Niang froze momentarily.
She finally felt more relieved inwardly.
“Mm-hmm.” She nodded at Qin Xiaoyao.
The horse carriage soon arrived at the Marquis’s residence.
Qin Xiaoyao got out of the carriage first, then she reached out to help Yun Niang out.
Yun Niang got out of the carriage and looked at the big characters “Marquis Xiaoyao’s Residence” on the plaque. She was a little afraid again.
There was once when she wanted badly to enter this place and secretly take a look at her aunt.
Now that Cousin-in-law had personally brought her over, ironically she did not have so much courage to do it.
She lowered her head to encourage herself. When she raised her head, Yun Niang’s eyes were calm.
Then, she smiled at Qin Xiaoyao and said, “Let’s go.”
Qin Xiaoyao smiled when she saw her expression.
She didn’t let go of Yun Niang’s hand and straightaway led her through the gate.
After entering the residence, Qin Xiaoyao ignored the servants who bowed to her.
She brought Yun Niang directly to Madam Liu’s courtyard.
Oh, right. To add a side remark to this event, the servants of the Marquis’s residence had already been replaced by Qin Xiaoyao.
Now, the servants in the Marquis’s residence were all trustworthy people that Liu Ling had helped her select.
Even Princess Xiangyang was invited out of the residence by Qin Xiaoyao.
Though she was helping Qin Xiaoyao deal with the century egg orders in the palace, and the family members of the court officials still came to her often, Princess Xiangyang was no longer staying in the Marquis’s residence.
in Madam Liu’s courtyard.
At this point, Madam Liu was doing embroidery work when she suddenly heard Qin Xiaoyao’s voice coming from outside.
“Mother, come and see who 1 brought to meet you!” Her voice was filled with joy. It was obvious that the speaker was in a good mood.
Madam Liu couldn’t help but smile.
She put down the embroidery in her hand, got up, and walked out of the room.
“Who is it?” she asked as she walked out.
When she arrived ar the door, Madam Liu immediately saw Yun Niang who was being pulled along by Qin Xiaoyao.
Immediately, the smile on Madam Liu s face froze.
Following that, she said, “You are… Yun’er?”
Her voice was controlled to be a little soft, but it was filled with emotion, as if she was afraid that if she shouted loudly, the person in front of her would disappear.
“It’s… it’s me, Aunt.” Yun Niang looked at Madam Liu and replied.
Madam Liu quickly ran forward and grabbed Yun Niang’s hand at once.
“Quick. Let your aunt take a look at you.”
As she spoke, she sized up Yun Niang.
“You’re still as pretty as when you were young. No, my Yun’er is even more beautiful now than when she was young.”
Madam Liu’s eyes were already glistening.
“When you were young, you were very clingy to me. No one could placate you when you cried. You only allowed me to carry you.
“In the blink of an eye, my Yun’er has already grown into a fine, young lady.” Madam Liu held Yun Niang’s hand and refused to let go.
Yun Niang’s eyes were also filled with tears.
“Yes, I still remembered. When 1 was young, Aunt doted on me the most.” Her voice was a little hoarse.
Although those memories were very old, she still remembered that she had an aunt who loved her very much.
“Alright. Reuniting is a good thing.
“Wipe your tears and go in,” Qin Xiaoyao said with a laugh.
Madam Liu wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. “Sure, okay! ” she replied with a smile.
“Come! Let’s go in and talk!” Then, she pulled Yun Niang into the hall.
Yun Niang also wiped the corners of her eyes and gave Qin Xiaoyao a grateful smile.
She then followed in Madam Liu’s footsteps.
Qin Xiaoyao stood where she was but did not follow.
“Mother, you guys take your time to chat. I will go and arrange dinner for tonight.
“When Younger Cousin comes back, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
Madam Liu turned around and saw that her daughter-in-law had already turned around and left.
She then gave up the idea of asking Qin Xiaoyao to join her.
She turned back and continued to pull Yun Niang into the house.
Qin Xiaoyao walked off for a while before turning back for a look.
When she saw that the two of them were no longer in the courtyard, the corners of her mouth could not help curling up.
Then, she turned around and left.
in the evening, Liu Ling returned to the Marquis’s residence.
As soon as he returned, he was pulled back by Song Yun and Song Ye.
The two of them already knew Liu Ling’s identity.
The two of them had a good impression of Liu Ling in the past. After finding out that Liu Ling was their elder cousin, they liked this elder cousin who treated them well even more.
“Elder Cousin! Elder Cousin!” The two kept calling out to Liu Ling and even begged him to buy stuff for them.
Liu Ling replied dotingly that he would buy for all of them.
“Enough. We are leaving for Mountain Spring Town tomorrow. Even if your elder cousin wants to buy things for you two, you won’t be able to receive them.” Madam Liu emerged and called out to the two children.
When Song Yun and Song Ye heard this, their faces sank immediately.
Unlike Madam Liu, they didn’t really want to leave the capital so soon.
The capital was so good. It was much more bustling and livelier than Mountain Spring Town.
However, they also knew that Sister-in-law must have her reasons for making such an arrangement.
As their sister-in-law’s loyal supporters, they were willing to abide by all her arrangements.
When Liu Ling saw the reaction of the two children, he smiled at Madam Liu.
“It’s fine. I’m also going to Mountain Spring Town after that.”
“When the time comes, I’ll bring the things with me. Yun’er and Ye’er will still get to use them.”
Song Yun and Song Ye were overjoyed instantly.
“Cousin Ling is the best!” They began showering Liu Ling with praises.
Liu Ling was very pleased to hear them.
Madam Liu looked at this scene and a smile appeared on her face.
“Alright. Stop pestering your Cousin Ling,” she said.
Then, she looked at Liu Ling.
“Come in and eat. Yun’er and Sanya were already waiting inside.”
Liu Ling was stunned.
“Alright,” he answered.
Then, he called out to Song Yun before leading Song Ye into the hall.
In the hall, the dishes on the dining table were very sumptuous.
When Qin Xiaoyao saw Liu Ling, she hurriedly bade him take a seat.
The whole family had a lively and joyous meal.
Qin Xiaoyao looked at the scene in front of her and felt a little regretful. It was a pity that her husband was not here..
