Sheng Lingwei grabbed Yue Yuqian's raised hand, her tone somewhat helpless and awkward.

"Alright, we didn't say we didn't believe you. You really don't need to swear to God. Wuyou and I are outstanding people, so how could our parents be anything less?"

Our parents!!!

(?˙▽˙?) Yue Yuqian's cheeks flushed instantly, her eyes filled with surprise and excitement. She grabbed Sheng Lingwei's hand and asked tentatively in a trembling voice.

"Weiwei, Wuyou, so you...you acknowledge me as your mother?"

"Well, what can we do if we don't admit it?"

Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered slightly, then she tilted her head back arrogantly, speaking in a very stiff tone.

"Your blood flows in my veins, and we can't possibly drain our own blood just to disown you!"

It's confirmed—a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Yue Yuqian's tense expression gradually relaxed, and she couldn't help but chuckle. Her gaze towards Sheng Lingwei was full of affection.

“Weiwei, your insincere nature is just like your father.”

Sheng Lingwei's fair and delicate cheeks suddenly turned bright red, and she awkwardly pulled her hand away.

"Perhaps" Yueyuqian was holding on too tightly, and she couldn't pull her hand away for a while. To be honest, her hand was quite warm.

Fine, let's shake hands then!

It's not a big deal.

In reality, Yue Yuqian didn't dare to hold Sheng Lingwei's hand tightly at all; she only dared to hold it lightly and carefully, for fear of hurting her daughter.

How could Yue Yuqian not know her daughter's awkward little thoughts? She shook her head with amusement, took a step forward, and gently hugged Sheng Lingwei.

"Weiwei, you've suffered so much these past years. The person I've wronged and owe the most in my life is you, and then Wuyou. From now on, I will love you both dearly and make up for all the trouble I've caused you. I just hope you won't reject my affection, okay?"

Parents' hearts are always full of love and worry.

Sheng Lingwei's originally stiff and uneasy body gradually softened after listening to Yue Yuqian's words.

He tentatively reached out and hugged Yueyuqian back, burying his little head in her fragrant neck.

Yueyuqian felt overjoyed at her daughter's initiative, and her usually aloof and serene face blossomed with joy.

Then, she hugged her daughter even tighter, saying, "Weiwei, Mommy loves you." She was even willing to give up her own life for her daughter.

(?′?`?) Sheng Lingwei's eyes flickered, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, her ears couldn't help but feel hot, and her fair and delicate cheeks turned rosy.

So this is what a mother's embrace feels like. It's so warm and comforting that she almost doesn't want to push it away.

As for why she went to another world, she basically understood the ins and outs.

To be honest, her mother was quite innocent.

With parents who were both ambitious and brainless, and Zhang Mu Fu Ting, who held the title of grandfather but was utterly immoral and ambitious, they were the root of all the trouble.

In short, Zhang Mu Fu Ting, that beast, is the culprit behind everything. If it weren't for him, their family wouldn't have been torn apart.

As for that foolish couple, they wholeheartedly believed that Zhang Mufuting would give them power, but they never expected that they would eventually die tragically at his hands.

Tsk tsk, this is reaping what you sow, evil deeds have their retribution, he deserved to die!

Thinking of this, a murderous glint flashed in Sheng Lingwei's eyes.

That old beast Zhang Mufu deserves to die a thousand deaths.

If he hadn't set his sights on her, she wouldn't have been sent to another world by her mother, her mother wouldn't have suffered such a severe blow, and the Holy Maiden inheritance that originally belonged to her mother wouldn't have been directly passed on to me, causing her mother's cultivation to be greatly reduced and turning her into a weak woman with no strength to even kill a chicken.

(??へ?? ╬)

Actually, she didn't blame her mother at all; on the contrary, she was quite grateful to her.

Her mother gave her the inheritance of a saint, enabling her to protect herself in another world. She also helped her learn and grow there, and she met twelve siblings who were not related by blood. More importantly, she met Xiao Yunzi.

A trip to another world was definitely worthwhile!

Sheng Lingwei smiled and nuzzled Yue Yuqian affectionately with her head, her tone unconsciously tinged with the shyness of a young girl.

"Mother...Mother, you've suffered so much all these years!"

Yueyu Qian's pupils dilated in shock, and she asked incredulously, "Weiwei, you...you just called me mother?"

She had waited for this moment for far too long. When her daughter finally called her "Mother," she could hardly believe it, fearing that what she was seeing was a dream.

Sheng Lingwei could clearly feel her mother's body trembling. She sighed inwardly and then patted her back tenderly.

“Mother, when I was in another world, I always thought I was an orphan without father or mother.”

Whenever I see other children loving each other with their parents, I feel envious. Therefore, deep down I have always longed for family affection that belongs to me, and I yearn for the unattainable love of my father and mother.

Now it's all good. I'm not an orphan after all; I have parents. From now on, I'm a girl who will be loved.

Yueyuqian felt both heartache and joy, and nodded hurriedly with a smile, her tone solemn and serious.

"Yes, yes, my Weiwei is a little girl who is loved by many. I swear, I will spoil you and make you the happiest daughter in the world, so that other people's children will be envious."

Sheng Lingwei: ヾ(*???*) Happy!

Nangong Zichen pouted, looking aggrieved.

"Mother, sister, have you forgotten I exist? I'm such a big person, can't you see me?"

Sheng Lingwei and Yue Yuqian: "..." Oh no, I really forgot about the little guy.

The mother and daughter exchanged a glance and then laughed at the same time, before pulling Nangong Zichen into their arms.

The family of three just hugged each other quietly like that.

Although they didn't say a word, they were extremely content, and a happy atmosphere surrounded them.

Overjoyed, Rong Momo wept, quickly wiping her tears with her sleeve. "How wonderful! The Empress and the little princess are finally reunited."

The four of them were so happy with the Bletilla striata, Atractylodes macrocephala, Aconitum carmichaelii, and Ligusticum chuanxiong that they beat their chests and stamped their feet. "Waaah, so touching! They almost cried." x﹏x

Little Zhou Qingqing's eyes reddened as she hugged Lu Zhaoqiu tightly, tilted her head up to look at her, and asked with emotion, "Mommy, will I always be your precious little darling?"

Lu Zhaoqiu lowered his eyes, his gaze full of affection, and smiled as he gently pinched his daughter's little nose.

"Of course, you will always be your mother's precious little darling."

Zhou Qingqing blinked. "What about my brother? Between me and my brother, who do you care about more, Mother?"

Lu Zhaoqiu: ...That's a good question. Don't ask it again next time.

“Silly girl, your brother is a man, and now he is the King of Xizhou County. He has the ability to protect himself.”

"And you, you're still a little girl who hasn't grown up yet. If I didn't care about you the most, I wouldn't have come out with you to see the outside world."

Zhou Qingqing's eyes lit up.

"Mother, thank you. I love you very much too. Don't worry, when I grow up, I will definitely take good care of you."

She made a decision: no matter where she went for the rest of her life, she would take her mother with her.

As for his older brother, he's a real man. Even though he's separated from his mother, he can still find a wife who loves him, so he's not at a disadvantage.

Zhou Haokun: ...This isn't considered a loss?!

Aaaaaah, his roar was deafening!
