Chapter 275 First Meeting

"What's the matter?" Huo Yuchen asked casually.

"Your Highness, Divine Doctor Baili and General Bai Wuji have already arrived outside the city. They are temporarily resting at Cui Nong Villa outside the city and are awaiting further arrangements from Your Highness."

After hearing this, Huo Yuchen quickly walked over, opened the door, and asked anxiously, "Really? How is Bai Wuji now? Is he safe and sound?"

Lu Jianmin smiled, bowed, and looked very respectful.

"According to the secret guards sent by Divine Doctor Baili, although Bai Wuji's life was saved, he was also seriously injured. He had multiple arrow wounds all over his body, and countless external injuries, most of which were deep enough to reveal the bone..."

"Luckily, the poison was removed in time, and I was able to save my life. It's a blessing in disguise. If I take good care of myself, I'll be able to recover."

After hearing this, Huo Yuchen felt relieved. The corners of his lips unconsciously curled up, and the curl became deeper and deeper.

Lu Jianmin added, "The wife of the Duke of Huguo also came back with them. They met on the way and traveled together. They are now in the manor."

After hearing the news, Lin Pianran immediately became excited and wanted to grow a pair of wings and fly to them.

"My mother is back too. This is double happiness. I'm so happy!"

She turned her head and smiled at Huo Yuchen with great joy. She pulled his sleeve and said softly in a coquettish tone, "Your Highness, let's go out of the city and pick them up!"

Seeing Lin Pianran so happy, Huo Yuchen didn't want to refuse her kindness, so he smiled and said, "Okay, then you get ready, we can set off soon."

Lin Pianran thought for a moment and said to Lu Jianmin, "Send someone to the Duke of Huguo's mansion to find Miss Han Yunxi and tell her the good news. See if she goes outside the city to pick someone up. If she does, send someone to protect her. If she doesn't go, forget it."

Lu Jianmin smiled and agreed readily.

Lin Pianran changed into a new set of clothes, replacing her original plain dress. She wore a skirt with a white background and peach blossom patterns, and a purple long gown embroidered with intricate patterns on the outside. She looked noble and at the same time lively and cute.

This looks more solemn and more bright and dazzling.

Lin Pianran hopes to leave a good impression on the wife of the Duke of Protectorate when they meet for the first time.

Her hairstyle was also re-combed, becoming more elegant and charming than the original slightly childish style. She also put on some light makeup, and she really looked like a fairy from the sky who had fallen into the mortal world, making it almost impossible to take your eyes off her.

Only when everything was ready did Lin Pianran leisurely walk out of the room.

Huo Yuchen was waiting at the door. When he saw Lin Pianran's sudden change, his eyes lit up and his pupils dilated unconsciously.

He couldn't help but praise, "Pianpian looks so beautiful like this!"

Then he walked forward, took Lin Pianran's hand, clasped their fingers together, and led her outside.

The two of them got on the carriage and sped along, arriving in about an hour.

They settled at Cuinong Villa. Lin Pianran and Huo Yuchen hurriedly got off the carriage and walked straight into the villa.

This was Lin Pianran’s first time visiting this villa, which was said to be owned by Huo Yuchen.

She had no time to appreciate the scenery of the villa. She only wanted to see the wife of the Duke of Protectorate whom she missed day and night.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the villa, a middle-aged lady came to greet me.

She looked haggard and covered in dust. It seemed she had been in a hurry along the way. There were faint dark circles around her eyes.

The lady was a little excited, with sparkling tears in her eyes and her whole body trembling slightly.

Choking with sobs, "Yanyan, my child..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he pounced towards Lin Pianran at an extremely fast speed.

He hugged Lin Pianran tightly in his arms, and hugged her so tightly that Lin Pianran almost couldn't breathe.

Sobbing and crying.

She kept muttering, "My child...my child...I have been looking for you for many years, and finally found you..."

"Child, are you doing well?......"

Lin Pianran gently hugged Hua Xuewei back and said "hmm" softly. Then, worried that she hadn't explained it clearly enough, she continued, "I was adopted by the Lin family. My life these years hasn't been good, but it hasn't been bad either. I've finally grown up successfully..."

"Don't try to lie to me!" Hua Xuewei's tone was tinged with anger.

"Your sister has already written to me and told me that I am sorry for you. I made you lose the protection of your parents and relatives since childhood, and made you grow up in the Lin family, a den of wealth and danger. You have suffered a lot. This is all my fault. From now on, I will love you well and make it up to you..."

Lin Pianran gently patted Hua Xuewei's thin back, her voice soft and sweet.

"Don't blame yourself too much. That's all in the past. We should all look forward. Good days are beckoning us!"

Hua Xuewei was comforted at once and burst into laughter.

He held Lin Pianran in his arms and refused to let go. He kept talking a lot and kept on talking endlessly.

Lin Pianran can also understand a mother's feelings and can understand the torment and sadness she has experienced over the years.

She was very patient and stayed in her mother's arms all the time, listening carefully to her mother's teachings, feeling her ardent care and long-lost maternal love, letting them surround her constantly.

Warm up her heart, which was broken and bleeding due to family affection, bit by bit.

The handsome young man standing next to him looked about 60% similar to Lin Pianran.

He looked at his mother and sister who were inseparable, his face full of joy.

When he saw Huo Yuchen, he quickly walked over and bowed respectfully, "Greetings, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

"No need to be so polite! You are Pianpian's brother, right? We are all family from now on, there is no need to be so formal." The voice was as warm as the wind as ever.

He turned his head and looked at the inseparable mother and daughter. The atmosphere was so warm.

He had a faint smile on his face the whole time as he waited quietly without going forward to disturb her.

Another cup of tea passed before Lin Pianran was able to escape from Hua Xuewei's arms.

Hua Xuewei stared at Lin Pianran intently, looking her over carefully from top to bottom, from front to back.

I couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"She is indeed very beautiful. She looks just like her mother when she was young. Both are so beautiful."
