"Brother? That's not bad either."

Hua Qingcheng couldn't help but smile, looking forward to the birth of Hua Fu's child. She thought that when she bought birth and full-month gifts for Mu Lige's unborn child, she would also buy some for Hua Fu's unborn son.

At three quarters past midnight, Hua Qingcheng and her group arrived at the East Palace in their carriage. After a busy day, everyone returned to their respective courtyards to bathe and rest.

November 1st, 4:15 AM.

When Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen were attending classes at the Imperial College, Yu Jingyang and Feng Lingyan personally sent Hua's mother and father to Changting, thirty miles south of the city.

However, when they arrived at the pavilion, they found Mu Lige, dressed in dark plain clothes, already waiting there. Also in the pavilion were Situ Ye, Han Yichen, Yu Xiaotian, Si Chengfeng, Zuo An, and others.

"Brother Ling Qian, Yu Mingfu, Li Ge, you all go back." Ye Maochun said goodbye to Feng Lingyan, Yu Jingyang, Mu Li Ge and others with tears in his eyes.

"Mom, Dad, we are separated by mountains and rivers. Please forgive me for not being able to visit you morning and night. Please accept my greeting."

Recalling the kindness shown to him by his mother and father Hua during the six years in Huaqiao Village, Mu Lige's eyes became moist. He then stood up from the stone bench in the pavilion and kowtowed to Hua Rongsheng and Ye Maochun.

"No! Li Ge, your status is no longer the same as before. Besides, you are pregnant now, you can't do this." Ye Maochun hurriedly helped Mu Li Ge up from the ground together with Hua Rongsheng.

"Mom, Dad, no matter who Li Ge is, you two will always be my mom and dad." Mu Li Ge said sincerely.

"Good boy, we know how filial you are. The dew is heavy this morning, and it's cold and damp out in the countryside. You'd better go back early."

Ye Maochun glanced reluctantly at Mu Lige and Situ Ye and others behind him, then, with the support of Hua Rongsheng, stepped onto the carriage driven by Ying Ba.

"Mother~"

"Dad~"

Just as Yingba was about to drive away, two figures riding horses suddenly appeared on the official road behind him.
