But she still looked at Leng Xi with gratitude.

"Uncle Wu, thank you for your hard work this time. An An will always remember your kindness to her."

She emphasized the word "favor" particularly, but Leng Xi didn't understand the meaning behind it. He quickly put down his embarrassed hands, smiled and shook his head.

"This is what a Fifth Uncle should do. Well, it's getting late now. Let's go to the inn and rest. Tomorrow morning, we can return to the capital."

Leng Yu turned around and looked at Luo Lan, and said to her:

"Lan'er, take An'an and Cheng'er back to the inn to rest."

Cheng'er?

Hearing this name, Leng Xi looked around. When he saw the little beggar beside Luo Lan, he frowned and asked in confusion:

"Cheng'er? Is it him?"

Luo Lan nodded.

"Yes, this is the adopted son that Leng Yu and I have just adopted. He will live in Prince Yu's mansion from now on."

this……

Leng Xi looked at the child with a puzzled expression, then looked at Leng Yu and reminded him anxiously:

"Fourth brother, you are the regent of Daning State. Your surname is Leng, which is a symbol of imperial power in Daning State. You secretly accepted an adopted son without the consent of our father. This is no small matter. You must think twice before acting!"

Leng Xi's words made Yi Cheng, who had a smile on his face just now, lower his head again. He was afraid that the happiness he had just obtained would disappear into thin air again.

Luo Lan had not thought about this problem at first, and she believed that Leng Yu had not thought about it either. They had not had time to consider whether Yi Cheng's surname was Leng. They just wanted to give her a name so that they could not always call him a little beggar.

He does not belong to Prince Yu's Mansion. If he has the chance in the future, he will look for his family. Sooner or later, he will return to his parents.

Therefore, she doesn't care about the surname issue, and Yi Cheng won't care either.

So, she replied calmly:

"Don't worry about that, Prince Xi. The royal family's surname is Leng, and we are not marrying above our station. Cheng'er has the same surname as me, Liu, and his name is Liu Yicheng. He is my adopted son, so naturally I have to call Leng Yu my adoptive father."

Luo Lan's words made Leng Xi speechless, while Yi Cheng pursed his lips happily. He didn't care what his last name was, as long as he could have enough to eat, he would be content.

Leng Yu saw that everyone was frozen in place, so he hurried over to smooth things over.

"Lan'er, it's getting late and a bit cold outside. Let's go back."

Luo Lan glanced at Leng Xi coldly, then took An An and Yi Cheng's hands respectively and said gently:

"Children, your elder brother and younger brother must be looking forward to your return home. Let's get a good night's sleep tonight and go home early tomorrow morning."

An An grinned, and Yi Cheng nodded repeatedly with excitement in his eyes. He had long been tired of begging everywhere. He had always dreamed of having a home, and now it suddenly came true. How could he not be happy?

That night at the inn, Luo Lan hugged An An and didn't want to let go for a moment.

In the early morning, looking at An An sleeping soundly in her arms, she breathed a long sigh of relief. This sigh had been weighing on her heart for a long, long time.

This time, An An was able to return to her smoothly, thanks to Yi Cheng. Otherwise, An An might have been taken away to who knows where by now by the people from Yuhongyuan.

As for Yi Cheng, she not only felt pity for him, but was also grateful and admired his courage.

If he hadn't rushed out to stop the carriage carrying An An, perhaps An An wouldn't be able to sleep well here at this moment.

She secretly made up her mind that she would find a way to help Yicheng find his missing memories and help him find his parents and family as soon as possible.

"Boom boom boom..."

There was a knock on the door, followed by Ah Cai's voice.

"Princess, the prince has sent me to call you and the second young lady. It's time to set off."

A Cai's knock on the door broke Luo Lan's thoughts, and An An opened his eyes at this time.

She climbed up Luo Lan's neck with both hands, rubbed her chest, and said aggrievedly:

"Mom, I thought I was dreaming just now. Fortunately, I woke up and saw you."

"Silly child, you are not dreaming. You will be able to return home soon."

"Well, Mom, didn't you ask me yesterday how I got to Yancheng after falling off the mountain? I didn't remember it last night, but now I remember it."

At this point, she blinked her eyes. She originally wanted to tell her mother about how Leng Xi had harmed her, but after thinking about it for a long time, she finally felt that she could not tell Leng Xi about it.

She would keep in her heart what Leng Xi had done to her, and she would avenge herself. When that day came, she would definitely ask him why he had betrayed her trust in him.

"Auntie Acai is calling us now, and Dad and everyone else are waiting for us too. Your story must be very long, so save it for when you get home and tell it to Mom slowly, okay?"

"good."

An An grumbled, moved closer to Luo Lan's face, kissed her affectionately on the cheek, and said delicately:

"Mom, An An is so lucky to have you and Dad."

"Silly child, we are your father and mother, and we are very happy to have you."

After saying this, she thought to herself, if Long Xiaomin were still alive, she wouldn't blame her when she knew An An had returned safely!

When Luo Lan brought An An out, Leng Yu was looking at them with tenderness on her face.

Yi Cheng stood beside Leng Yu, constantly looking at his new clothes, his eyes full of excitement.

Luo Lan looked at him and smiled softly.

"Cheng'er, you look beautiful in this new dress. You look like a child from Prince Yu's mansion."

Yi Cheng scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Stepmother, I never thought that a little beggar like me living on the streets would have the opportunity to wear such beautiful new clothes. I am so happy. When I grow up, I will definitely be filial to you and stepfather."

An An curled her lips and snorted in disdain.

"Who wants you to be filial? Dad and Mom have older brothers and younger brothers, and I am filial. How can you be filial?"

“An An…”

Seeing Yi Cheng lowering his head in inferiority, Luo Lan frowned and stopped An An from continuing.

An An stuck out her tongue and quietly got into the carriage under Ah Hong's guidance. Luo Lan also signaled Yi Cheng,

"Cheng'er, let's get in a carriage with An'an."

Yi Cheng did not object, but nodded and got on the carriage with Luo Lan.

Prince Yu and his family, with the farewell of Yancheng officials, headed towards the official road leading to the capital.

When passing by Fanjiatun, An An looked at Luo Lan and discussed quietly,

"Mom, can you wait for me for a moment? I want to go see grandma."

See grandma?

Luo Lan looked at her with a puzzled look, "Which grandma?"

"That grandmother from Fanjiatun gave me all her copper coins. I want to return them to her. If it weren't for her copper coins, I would have starved to death long ago."

When saying this, An An was a little scared. She was afraid that her mother would not agree to her. After all, so many people were traveling together, and if they stopped for a while just for her, it would delay a lot of things.

But she really wanted to go back and see her grandmother, say thank you to her, and return her copper coins.

Luo Lan pondered for a moment, then nodded. She lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and called out to Xiao Lingzi, who was not far away:

"General Ling, go ask the prince for instructions. Let's rest here."
