Wang Leping and Rong Xin looked at their son who had fallen asleep crying again. The couple carefully carried him into the cave and placed him next to the fire.

Wang Leping couldn't help but mutter to his partner, "Do you think our son was born with the wrong gender? Why does he cry so much?"

Rong Xin agreed with her partner's words and nodded quickly, not forgetting to add, "It's possible."

Rong Xin also had many questions. "Brother Leping, what do you think our Hao'er is so sad about at such a young age? Why is he crying today? Is he hungry because the meat was roasted too late?"

"Maybe he feels that the moon tonight isn't round enough! Didn't he cry last time because he finally found a whole bag of herbs and only sold it for one spirit stone? He'll be fine when he grows up."

Wang Hanhao: Is it possible that I finally got a spirit stone?

Wang Leping's answer was also very casual. He had no intention of figuring out why his son was so sentimental. After all, he was his son. If he took him out to see the world more often, he would have no time to think about those trivial things.

She is not a daughter, so he has no time to care for his son's strange mind.

Hearing this, Rong Xin recalled the expression on her son's face at that time and smiled unkindly, "With him, we two dared not go to any dangerous places. He found some ordinary herbs, and people only gave him a spirit stone because they thought he was too small."

Rong Xin is also a generous person. The main reason is that they were both beggars since childhood. It was only by chance that they fell into the same place and opened another door in life.

The fact that they both have achieved their current level of cultivation is inseparable from their diligence and prudence.

In their hearts, many things are more important than being sentimental. Life and death are not important, and as long as their son is alive and well, that's all that matters.

They used to only think about their own future, but now with their son as a burden, not only can they only find some food on the outskirts of the forest, but they also have to consider the resources for the future cultivation of the three of them.

Zhou Qiongyue finished drinking the two pots of wine she was carrying, and then let the servants help her back to the yard to sleep.

That night she dreamed of a child of four or five years old, with messy hair and covered in mud, turning over grass in the woods.

Especially when the child looked up, he was clearly a replica of Yuan Bohua.

The first thing Zhou Qiongyue thought when she woke up in the morning was, could it be that Yuan Bohua had found a mistress for her during the one or two years before he left?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qiongyue felt so angry that her heart ached.

However, she was just skeptical in her heart. After all, Yuan Bohua's health was like that in those two years. How could he still get someone pregnant?

However, Zhou Qiongyue still had someone investigate Yuan Bohua's whereabouts during those two years, and also carefully interrogated Yuan Bohua's former personal servants.

Yuan Bohua: The princess dreamed of me and was happy, but she thought I was cheating...

Zhou Qiongyue's big move would probably not alarm Yuan Chaokang.

Yuan Chaokang put down what he was doing and immediately went to the palace to visit his mother. "Mother, why did you check on my father's whereabouts for the past two years? What happened?"

This wasn't something shameful, so Zhou Qiongyue explained to her youngest son truthfully, "It's nothing. On the night of the third anniversary of your father's death, I had a dream.

I dreamed of a little boy who looked very much like your father, about four or five years old. I wanted to check it out!"

Yuan Chaokang smiled and explained to his mother, "There's no need to investigate, mother. It was just a dream. Father has always had his son by his side. He hasn't done anything to wrong you. Besides, his health was so poor at that time."

Although there were indeed people around Yuan Bohua who were close to Yuan Chaokang, Yuan Chaokang did not dare to say it so absolutely.

But my mother's health can't withstand such a big blow now, so an investigation is still necessary, but he plans to do it privately.

If it really happened, he would not let those people go. But there was no need for his mother to know about this, as his son would handle it.

Zhou Qiongyue has always known her youngest son's abilities. After hearing what Yuan Chaokang said, she felt much more at ease.

However, Zhou Qiongyue was still a little hesitant, "Well, what about my dream?"

Yuan Chaokang thought about it and could only lead to other places, "Is it possible that you dreamed of your father?"

Zhou Qiongyue was stunned for a moment and murmured, "That age is not right!"

Yuan Chaokang tried to stop his mother from overthinking it. "Maybe time flows at a different rate! Isn't it often said in the mortal world, 'One day in heaven is one year on earth'?"

Zhou Qiongyue felt much better after hearing her youngest son's words. She was also pondering that possibility in her mind.

In the following days, Zhou Qiongyue went to bed early a few days, hoping to continue dreaming about the child, but she didn't dream about him again.

Zhou Qiongyue even dug out the peach blossom wine she drank that night and drank it several times, but she never had that dream again.

Zhou Qiongyue felt more at ease after not having that dream again, thinking that she just missed Yuan Bohua too much, and that "what you think about during the day you dream about at night."

In order to prevent herself from having any more random thoughts, Zhou Qiongyue wanted to go to the southernmost part to see her eldest son.

But Zhou Qiongyue is not young anymore, and Yuan Chaokang is worried about her, so Zhou Qiongyue cannot leave.

Seeing his mother like this, Yuan Chaokang could only give Yuan Chaochang several strategies to quickly achieve political achievements.

She also wrote a letter personally to Yuan Chaochang, urging him to complete the task quickly and apply to be transferred back to Yuan'an, as his mother missed him.

When Yuan Chaochang received his brother's letter, he also wanted to go back. He could not help but speed up his pace and deal with those who were not afraid of death in the south. The people's lives became better and better.

Yuan Chaochang quickly submitted a memorial to the emperor, requesting to be transferred back to Yuan'an.

However, Yuan Chaochang did such a good job in this job that the emperor transferred him to another difficult place.

When Yuan Chaochang received the emperor's edict, he was completely devastated.

Now that Yuan Chaochang couldn't go back, Zhou Qiongyue insisted on going to see her eldest son, and Yuan Chaokang couldn't stop her.

Yuan Chaokang had no choice but to go to the palace to report to the emperor and make time to personally send his mother to his eldest brother.

His mother was old, and Yuan Chaokang was worried if he didn't go with her personally. As for Yuan Chaokang's eldest son, Yuan Hantao, he had already passed the imperial examination and was appointed an official in a remote place a year ago.

Having decided to go, Zhou Qiongyue and Yuan Chaokang packed up quickly and set off as soon as they were done.

Yuan Chaokang was not in a hurry to travel with his mother. Instead, he took care of business along the way while taking his mother on a leisurely tour.

By the time Yuan Chaokang and Zhou Qiongyue arrived at the new place where Yuan Chaochang took office, eight months had passed.

Yuan Chaochang has already established a firm foothold in the local area.

As soon as Yuan Chaochang saw Zhou Qiongyue, he hugged Zhou Qiongyue's arms and cried like a baby. He regretted very much that he had accepted the foreign posting.
