"General Feng!" At this moment, a gentle voice sounded in Junyanfang.

Feng Cailan paused and turned around, only to see Lianxing holding Ye Ling'er, standing there looking at her.

Their eyes met, but neither spoke.

After a while, Lian Xing gently placed Ye Ling'er on the ground and said to her with a smile, "Go, go hug your mother."

Ye Ling'er blinked, first looked up at Lian Xing, and then turned to look at Situ Wanqing.

After receiving Situ Wanqing's affirmative nod, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and then she ran towards Feng Cailan happily with her short legs.

Seeing this, Feng Cailan squatted down and opened her arms to welcome her.

When Ye Ling'er ran to Feng Cailan, she hugged the little guy tightly in her arms.

Feng Cailan's eyes were slightly red, but she still managed to force a smile and called out softly, "Ling'er..."

However, before Feng Cailan could finish her words, Ye Ling'er excitedly said, "Ling'er now has two mothers, one more than Fatty!"

Children speak without restraint. Feng Cailan couldn't help laughing after hearing this, with a hint of bitterness flashing in her eyes.

Feng Cailan had fought on the battlefield for many years, with illustrious military exploits and a world-renowned reputation. She held an unshakable position in the court and in the hearts of the people of Laifeng. However, today, she had experienced the bitter taste of failure at the hands of her youngest daughter, Ye Ling'er.

Feng Cailan hugged Ye Ling'er tightly, feeling her warm body temperature, and an indescribable emotion welled up in her heart. This was the first time she had such close contact with her little daughter, and she felt both happy and guilty.

After a moment, Feng Cailan gently released Ye Ling'er and carefully placed her on the ground. She rubbed the little girl's head, her eyes filled with love. "Ling'er, I'll come to see you when I'm free. If you ever go to the capital, remember to come to the General's Mansion to see me, your grandmother, grandfather, uncle, stepfather, sister, and brother..."

Ye Ling'er nodded, not quite understanding, her big eyes sparkling with curiosity and surprise. She asked in a baby voice, "Mom, Ling'er doesn't know that she has so many family members!"

Feng Cailan smiled slightly, nodded gently, and replied softly: "Yes, Ling'er will meet more family members in the future, and they will all love you very much." After that, she couldn't help but kiss Ye Ling'er's little face.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Feng Cailan left Junyanfang with mixed feelings and embarked on the journey back to Beijing.

Noon, at the gate of Junyanfang.

"Liangchen, I'm a little hungry..." Seeing Lianxing holding Ye Ling'er and watching Feng Cailan walking away, Situ Wanqing suddenly spoke up.

Situ Wanqing's voice was like a clear spring, breaking the tranquil atmosphere and flowing into Lianxing's heart. Lianxing's body suddenly stiffened. He slowly turned around and his eyes fell on Situ Wanqing, who was smiling at him.

At this time, Situ Wanqing was standing at the door, bathed in the warm sunshine, with a bright smile on her lips, looking at him gently, looking particularly charming.

Lian Xing's heartbeat involuntarily quickened a bit, and his fair cheeks suddenly flushed with two faint blushes, as fragrant and beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

Once upon a time, Lian Xing thought he would never fall in love with a woman, until Situ Wanqing, a domineering and sinister guy, broke into his heart.

Only then did Lian Xing realize that he could actually fall in love with someone this way. Facing Situ Wanqing's smile, Lian Xing felt a surge of warmth welling up in his heart. This feeling was like a spring rain, nourishing his long-dried heart.

Looking back, Lian Xing once believed he held a special feeling for Situ Erge. Now, Lian Xing finally understands that it was simply a trust and dependence based on gratitude. Situ Erge was a light that saved him in the darkness. And now, he has found the love that truly belongs to him, a love that makes him feel extremely precious and satisfied.

Thinking of this, Lian Xing smiled in relief. After all, he had never harbored any evil thoughts or ideas towards Second Brother Situ, only admiration and gratitude. As for Situ Wanqing, however, he harbored the extravagant hope of being with this woman forever.

"My Lord County Magistrate..." Lian Xing, holding the child, looked at Situ Wanqing with a touched face, tears flashing in her eyes and her heart filled with sweetness and tenderness.

Situ Wanqing smiled slightly. She looked at the child in Lianxing's arms tenderly and gently stroked the little one's head. Then, she reached out and took Ye Ling'er from Lianxing's hands, holding her carefully.

Then, Situ Wanqing's face turned stern, and he said to Lianxing in a serious tone, "Liangchen, have you ever heard me call you Boss Ye? From now on, I allow you to call me by my first name. Of course, you can also call me 'wife' in advance. If you disobey, I will punish you severely!"

Hearing this, Lian Xing was stunned. He never thought that one day he would be so moved by a little girl.

At this moment, Lian Xing was like a young boy who had just fallen in love, his cheeks flushed, and his handsome face was filled with an intoxicating smile, mixed with a hint of shyness and deep happiness.

Two days later (April 22nd) in the early morning, Situ Wanqing parted ways with Lianxing and Ye Linger and set out on a diplomatic mission to Lengyue Kingdom.

Before leaving, at the gate of Junyanfang, Situ Wanqing gently picked up Ye Ling'er, held her tightly in her arms, and kissed her cute little face.

Then, Situ Wanqing put the little guy back on the ground, hugged Lianxing, and whispered softly in the man's ear: "Wait for me to come back!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she quickly kissed Lian Xing on the cheek, then turned and left.

Lianxing held Ye Ling'er's hand and stood at the door of Junyanfang, watching Situ Wanqing's back getting farther and farther away.

"Wanqing!" Lianxing called out to Situ Wanqing when she was about to step onto the carriage.

"Hmm?" Situ Wanqing turned her head and looked at Lian Xing with a smile.

"Go early and come back early, and be sure to return safely! Ling'er will miss you, and I... me too." After saying this, two red clouds climbed up Lianxing's face, making her look extremely cute.

Situ Wanqing was slightly stunned, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. Then she smiled and said, "Of course!"

She waved to Lianxing and her daughter, then lowered the carriage curtain and signaled the coachman to hurry on.

Under the gaze of Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er, Situ Wanqing, escorted by soldiers, set out on the journey to Lengyue Kingdom.

The moment the carriage curtain was lowered, a solemn look appeared on Situ Wanqing's beautiful face.

As the wheels rolled, the sound of horse hooves echoed throughout the streets. Situ Wanqing sat in the carriage, looking through the gaps in the curtains at Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er, whose figures were becoming increasingly blurred, and her mood became increasingly heavy.

However, for the sake of her and Liangchen's future, this negotiation had only one path: success. Situ Wanqing not only wanted to get her stubborn father's approval, but also to marry Ye Liangchen in a grand ceremony, allowing this man to marry her without any psychological burden...
