Chapter 212 Mother and son recognize each other
The valley under the night sky is like a silver river falling from the heavens.
Glowing plants stood all around, like elves, making the night as bright as day, adding a touch of fantasy and mystery.
"Brother, sister, this is the Moon Tree. As long as the moon shines, the tree will shine too."
There are also many small, glowing plants, which Daddy found outside.
"It's so bright at night, are you afraid of the dark?"
Qin Jingyu joked.
"No, that's not true. There used to be only the Moon Tree here. It was because Mother was afraid of the dark that Father brought back other pretty things from outside."
That way, nighttime is just like daytime, and we won't need lanterns anymore.
"This is truly a paradise on earth. Your father is so thoughtful."
Ye Yaoyao was full of praise after reading it.
[Yue Xuanzhen is truly the most devoted lover in the world, and Consort Xi is truly blessed.]
This place is so wonderful, I wouldn't want to leave even if I lived here my whole life.
[Host, your future mother-in-law will definitely love it if you stay here long-term, the kind of place she'd welcome for a lifetime.]
Haha, it's fine to be a guest for a few days, but you can't stay at someone else's house for long, no matter how nice it is.
However, Yuexuan is a romantic at heart.
[Host, is the handsome man's refusal to acknowledge his relatives because of Yue Xuan?]
[Yue Xuan deeply loves Consort Xi, so he probably won't mind. After all, he's gained a prince's stepson; it's great to suddenly have an adopted son!]
I get it, the adopted son doesn't want his adopted father.
No, that's not it. Consort Xi has her own happy life. I think the handsome man just doesn't want to disturb their family. After all, he's aloof and probably doesn't know how to get along with his mother.
Furthermore, his identity, if discovered by the emperor, would bring ruin to the people here.
Listening to the system conversation, Qin Jingyu looked at Ye Yaoyao with affection; the little girl understood him.
He likes paradise on earth? He can have his own fiefdom, and his adoptive father, Yue Xuan, seems like a decent person, someone he can respect.
"Sister, the phoenix tail flower is right here!"
Yueyan pointed to the bright red flowers in front of her; in the night, the stamen in the center seemed to flash with a stream of light.
"So beautiful, several times more beautiful than in the painting."
[This flower doesn't look like it grows in the mortal world; my mother's Thousand Princess Spell has been dispelled.]
There are about twenty phoenix tail flowers of varying sizes here, and five of them are in bloom.
"Yes, yes! There weren't any before. It's because Daddy and Mommy take care of them often that we have so many now."
Sister, would you like five flowers? These are all for you.
"Yan Yan, one plant is enough for me."
It's already difficult to get even one of those carefully cultivated plants, and besides, she wasn't even sure if she could keep it alive.
After staying for three days, Xiao Xiwan personally cooked for Qin Jingyu every day and frequently showed him affection and concern.
Ye Yaoyao took Yueyan around the valley, creating opportunities for the mother and son to be alone together, and gradually the two became less unfamiliar with each other.
"Yue Xuan will be back tomorrow. He knows I can't let go of someone in my heart, so he will bring back news whenever he leaves the valley."
"Would you... like to see him? It's okay if you don't."
Xiao Xiwan asked cautiously.
"Madam, I am a guest, and it is only right that I visit the host's home."
Xiao Xiwan wanted to tell him to treat this place like home, but seeing that he didn't take off his mask for a long time, she didn't dare to say it.
"If my husband comes back, I will leave," Xiao Xiwan hesitated for a long time before speaking with difficulty.
"I... I had a previous marriage with Yuexuan before we got married. Due to a family crisis, we had to get married, and I was depressed because I let Yuexuan down."
Later, my health deteriorated until I became pregnant and gave birth. After that, there was no cure, and Yuexuan found me on my deathbed.
My ex-husband knew that I had someone I cared about, so he agreed to let me take him away.
Yuexuan went to great lengths to seek medical help, and even gave me his internal energy to revive me. It is my honor to have received such deep affection from two men in this life.
My only concern is for my son, whom I've never met since birth; I long to see him.
"Young Master Qin, do you think... I'll be able to see him?"
Looking at the expectation and caution in Xiao Xiwan's eyes, Qin Jingyu couldn't help but feel a complex mix of emotions.
After a long while, he slowly moved his hand towards his face and took off the mask.
"My son, my son."
Xiao Xiwan covered her chest with one hand, her eyes blurry with tears, overjoyed.
"Yu'er, I've finally seen you. I've missed you so much."
Xiao Xiwan stepped forward excitedly, her hands trembling as she gently cupped Qin Jingyu's face in her hands, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, as if releasing all the longing she had accumulated over the years.
She carefully examined Qin Jingyu's face; his eyebrows, his features, were indeed very similar to hers.
Yuexuan once said that Qin Jingyu resembled her. Xiao Xiwan, who could not see her son, often looked at herself in the bronze mirror and imagined what her son looked like.
"mother……"
No one had ever gotten this close to him before, even cupping his face in their hands. Qin Jingyu's body stiffened, but he didn't allow himself to step back even a fraction of a step.
Held tightly in his mother's arms, Qin Jingyu felt a mix of emotions as he experienced her intense affection.
Having grown up alone in Yunmengze since childhood, I've long been accustomed to solitude. I never imagined I would still feel the warmth from my mother.
At this moment, being held so tightly by Xiao Xiwan, he felt both unfamiliar and moved. His body gradually relaxed, and he slowly raised his hand to gently hug her back.
"Mother and brother have finally been reunited!"
Yueyan peeked inside from the doorway.
"Yes, that's good."
Ye Yaoyao nodded with satisfaction, one hand behind her back, like a wise old man.
Xiao Xiwan only slowly released Qin Jingyu when she heard her daughter's voice, but still held his hand. The face in front of her was like that of an immortal, much more beautiful than hers, and Xiao Xiwan looked proud.
"Yu'er, it must have been tough for you to live alone since you were little. Here, if you want to eat anything, just tell your mother and I'll cook it for you myself."
Xiao Xiwan wanted to make up for the lack of maternal love, which made Qin Jingyu extremely uncomfortable.
“I am not fond of crowds by nature, and I am living very well in Yunmengze. Mother, you don’t need to worry.”
Holding the wildflowers she had picked in her arms, Yueyan skipped over like a cheerful little bird and took Qin Jingyu's hand.
"Brother, can you tell me about things outside? I've never been allowed to go out with my father before. I only went out of the valley once."
Is Yunmengze where my brother lives? Can I go to my brother's house?
“You haven’t been punished yet for sneaking out of the valley this time, and you’re already thinking about going out again. Your father will definitely punish you when he gets back.”
Xiao Xiwan playfully poked her daughter's soft cheek.
"Mother said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. Now that Yan Yan has grown up, she not only found her brother, but also saved a girl who was forced into marriage."
I have some silver on me. My father said there are places called escort agencies outside where I can hire people to deliver goods. I used the silver to hire people to follow me. If I encounter any danger, they will come to my rescue.
"Mom, I can handle things on my own now!"
Yueyan patted her chest, looking smug and proud.
"Brother, you haven't said you'd agree to let me stay at your house yet."
Looking into Yueyan's expectant eyes, Qin Jingyu felt a surge of tenderness in his heart, realizing that he now had two more family members.
"Sure, you can stay as long as you like."
"Yay! We can finally go out."
Ye Yaoyao looked at the mother and her two children and was happy for Qin Jingyu.
[This handsome man has gained a touch of humanity, and now he has family who love him. That's wonderful.]
