On the evening of March 11, Feng Cailan led the Feng family army to Youzhou.

On March 15th, Hua Qingcheng and Hua Rongsheng's family returned to the capital under the escort of Feng Cailan.

That night, after returning to the General's Mansion, Feng Cailan told Yu Jingyang about Ye Ling'er.

Seeing Yu Jingyang frowning slightly without saying anything, Feng Cailan quickly expressed her feelings: "Yang Bao, I am indeed sorry for what happened to Lian Xing, but... it's just that Ling'er doesn't have a mother and is very pitiful..."

Yu Jingyang closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again, took a deep breath, suppressed his inner shock, looked at Feng Cailan seriously and asked, "Then I wonder how you plan to accommodate Lianxing, sir?"

Feng Cailan rubbed her brows irritably, and then said, "I originally wanted to give him a large sum of money, then take Ling'er back and raise her in your care, Yang Bao. Ling'er and Qining are of similar age, so she can be a good companion..."

"Sir, it's not right for you to do this..." Yu Jingyang sighed slightly and said, "I'm also a father. I naturally understand a father's love for his child, and a child's attachment to their father. If you only take Ling'er back and separate her from her father, I'm afraid she won't be happy."

"Yang Bao, what you mean is..." Feng Cailan looked at Yu Jingyang in shock.

Yu Jingyang suppressed his inner loneliness, forced a smile, and said, "Sir, Jingyang believes that no man would like to share his wife with another man. However, no matter what the reason, since it has happened, you should still...still give Lianxing a legitimate status and bring him and Ling'er back to the General's Mansion. This way, Ling'er can recognize her ancestral roots, and...they can also be together as father and daughter. And Ling'er can also have a mother."

"Yang Bao..." Feng Cailan was deeply moved and hugged Yu Jingyang, but all her words could only be condensed into one sentence: "I'm sorry..."

Although Yu Jingyang felt a little uncomfortable, he still considered the overall situation and said, "Sir, it's getting late today. Tomorrow morning, Jingyang will have someone clean up the yard next to Qiyan Furong Courtyard. When Ling'er returns home, the two sisters will have someone to take care of them."

The next morning, Yu Jingyang had his men swiftly clean up the yard next to Feng Qiyan's. The yard hadn't been named yet, pending the arrival of its owner.

General Feng, Mr. Mu, and Feng Lingyan also learned of Ye Ling'er's existence. Although they felt a little sorry for Yu Jingyang, things had come to this point, and they also knew that Yu Jingyang's approach was the most appropriate.

As for Feng Qiyan, she had witnessed Feng Cailan being ambushed by Yu Lianhuan, the leader of the Jade Maiden Sect of the Rakshasa Sect, in the Fufeng County government office. Although she could not say that she liked or expected the sudden appearance of a younger sister whom she had never met, she was not so intolerant either.

Feng Qining was still young, only about two and a half years old, and had no idea what the addition of Lianxing and his daughter to the family meant to Jingyang. When he heard that a sister almost his own age was coming back, he was overjoyed. He counted on his fingers every day, asking Feng Cailan and Yu Jingyang—when would Sister Ling'er be back?

On the morning of March 18th, Feng Cailan said goodbye to her family and set out on the road north to Yuheng County. Her purpose was to take Lianxing as her concubine and bring Ye Ling'er back to the General's Mansion.

At the same time, Situ Wanqing, who was working in the Yuheng County government office, received a letter from home and a box of paintings from the capital.

In the study room in the backyard of the county government office, Situ Wanqing, who was sitting at the desk, rubbed her brows with a headache after reading the letter.

It turned out that her biological father, Yuwen Tianqi, had selected twenty noble young men of equal status in the capital for her, and even attached their portraits and introductions, asking her to choose one to marry.

"Father really doesn't know how to stop! Back then, for the sake of Princess Xiahou, he forced my eldest brother to run away from home for three years. Could it be that he thought I would just obey his orders?"

Situ Wanqing didn't even bother to look at the portraits and just threw them into the box.

"Miss, what should we do? Your husband is determined to see you get married." Nong Yu, the maid who served Situ Wanqing personally, said anxiously.

"It's okay. I have my own ideas." Situ Wanqing's eyes were firm, and he already had a plan in his mind.

Situ Wanqing decided to write a letter to Yuwen Tianqi personally, saying that she would not accept such an arrangement. At the same time, she also hoped that her father would respect her choice and stop interfering in her life.

Of course, Situ Wanqing also knew that Yuwen Tianqi might not listen to her. However, even if Yuwen Tianqi was angry, she could do nothing about it, after all, this was related to her lifelong happiness.

After writing the letter home, Situ Wanqing walked out of the county government office and took a carriage to Junyanfang on the commercial street again.

"Boss Ye, you are unmarried, and I am also unmarried. Why don't we get together?" When Situ Wanqing got off the carriage, she heard a harsh sound.

Situ Wanqing looked in the direction of the voice and saw a plump and strong middle-aged woman throwing seductive glances at Lian Xing. Not only did Lian Xing avoid looking at her, but she also forced him to retreat repeatedly.

"Sister Feng, Lian... Liangchen just wants to take good care of our daughter now and has not considered getting married for the time being." Lian Xing said to the man embarrassedly.

Ye Ling'er glanced at the ferocious fat woman, then burst into tears, "Ling'er doesn't want her to be her mother either!"

Lian Xing took the opportunity to say, "Sister Feng, you saw that Ling'er is very opposed to this..."

Unexpectedly, the man said nonchalantly, "Boss Ye, why don't you just return your daughter to your ex-wife? Even if you're divorced, she can't give up her daughter, right?"
