Chapter 101: Thirty-five years later, mother and son finally reunited
Although it is not shameful to do so, this is the only solution for now.
"General Feng has no other good qualities in his life except that he loves delicious food. We can bring Ying'er with us, and maybe there will be more hope."
Jun Chenyi had accompanied the Han family to meet General Feng several times and had a certain understanding of him.
Deng Youning nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for the preparation, cousin."
Since it concerns Li Tianzhuo's life, she dare not be negligent in the slightest.
"Why are you being so polite to me?"
Jun Chenyi patted her shoulder and smiled innocently.
"I have to thank my cousin for keeping this a secret from my grandmother."
Deng Youning did not forget to give instructions.
Jun Chenyi knew what she meant, so he agreed without further explanation.
In recent years, the country has been peaceful, and General Han and his second son were sent by the emperor to garrison in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou is the place where martial artists from Dongji gather.
These people are capable and ambitious, and the emperor is afraid that his throne will be unstable.
As members of the royal family and holding military power, the Han family was the object of envy and jealousy of the entire court.
Eight years ago, after Jun Chenyi was demoted and left the capital, the Han family was also sent to guard Qingzhou, and has been lonely in the capital ever since.
Deng Youning has been back in Beijing for more than half a year, and Han Qiongyue has never taken her to the Han family because her brother and nephew, whom she wanted to see, were not in Beijing.
Only some female relatives and young people were left in the capital.
After Jun Chenyi left, Deng Youning sat at the head of the bed and stayed with Li Tianzhuo for a while.
"Azhuo, in this life, as long as I am alive, I will never let anything happen to you!"
"Trust me, I will definitely find someone to save you!"
Before going to see General Feng, she had to go back to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.
I don’t know if my uncle and the others have come back.
Before leaving, Deng Youning took Li Tianzhuo's half of the jade ring from his arms, twisted it together with her own half, tied it with a long rope, and hung it around her neck.
In this way, it would be like you could see him as soon as you lower your head.

On an autumn night, the hibiscus in Yiyunxuan of the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion was as red as blood.
There is a faint fragrance floating in the night breeze.
Han Qiongyue stood alone in front of the flowers, looking at Deng Ren's favorite flowers, sadness gradually spreading to her eyebrows.
This Yiyunxuan was originally Deng Ren’s courtyard. It has been abandoned and uninhabited for thirty-five years. Except for her, no one from the entire Deng family would come here.
Deng Zheng and Deng Youning both went to Bian Yang to suppress the bandits, and there was no news for seven or eight days.
In such a huge Zhenguo Mansion, now there is only an old widow like her left, which is really miserable.
She didn't know what sin she had committed by giving birth to a son like Deng Zheng and marrying a daughter-in-law like Gu.
And they have raised Deng Yi and Deng Xuelian, two ungrateful bastards who have no blood relationship with the Deng family!
“Ahem~”
Thinking of this, Han Qiongyue felt resentful again and kowtowed a few times.
"Madam, the doctor said that you must never get angry again!"
"Your health is not as good as before. If you get angry again, all these medicines will be in vain."
Nanny Dou advised worriedly.
Too many things happened in the mansion during this period of time. Not to mention the old lady, even she, a servant, was very angry.
"Is there no news from Ningning yet?"
Han Qiongyue didn't care about her own body at all, she only cared about the safety of her only living relative.
Nanny Dou shook her head helplessly.
"Early this morning, a girl who looked like the young lady did appear on the street. She was carrying a dead body on her back. She was caught in the rain and no one knew where she was going."
"It was raining at the time, so no one could see clearly whether it was the young lady or not. However, I think that she just looks similar. With Yingshi and Master Li accompanying the young lady, how could she be left in the rain?"
"He's carrying a dead body on his back, which is even more ridiculous!"
As Nanny Dou spoke, she couldn't help but cover her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled awkwardly.
Han Qiongyue just listened to it and didn't think much about it.
The master and servant gradually walked towards the front yard, and vaguely heard the hustle and bustle coming out of the front door.
It was like something big had happened and everyone was in a panic.
Han Qiongyue: "Let's go and take a look."
As soon as I passed through the corridor, the guard at the door ran over in a panic and reported:
"Madam, something bad has happened!"
"There's a man outside who claims to be Mr. Deng. He looks very familiar to me. And there's also Mr. Yan..."
"They kidnapped the Duke, apparently they are here to collect a debt!"
The young man was not very old and had only been in the Deng family for a few years. He had no idea who Mr. Deng was.
But he recognized Deng Ren, who had worked as a temporary worker in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion. He just didn't expect that the originally honest farmer would be so capable, so he didn't dare to recognize him.
Han Qiongyue was shocked.
Could it be that her Ren'er didn't die back then?
But how did Yan An get involved in the affairs of their Deng family?
She was really confused.
After exchanging glances with Madam Dou, the two of them quickly headed for the gate, both using light skills.
At this time, at the door of Deng's house.
The Deng family guards and male servants gathered at the door, each holding a weapon in their hands. They were afraid that Deng Ren would force his way into the Duke's Mansion, and they also wanted to rescue Deng Zheng from him.
But seeing that the Deng family soldiers who came with them allowed Deng Zheng to be captured, they did not dare to act on their own.
Let’s wait until Madam Han, the only one who can make the decision, arrives and we’ll decide everything!
As soon as Han Qiongyue arrived, she saw that the people inside and outside the door were in a tense situation.
"Stop it, do you want to rebel?"
She roared angrily, shocking all the people in the Deng family to put down their swords and make way.
Outside the door, Deng Yan'an also signaled the people from Qianji Pavilion to put down their bows and crossbows.
Han Qiongyue's feet were full of energy, and her strong authority was like an invisible force that made people dare not underestimate her identity and status.
It was very dark, and only when they got closer could Han Qiongyue see the face of the person in front of her clearly.
Her pupils trembled as she carefully looked at the man who called himself Deng Renzhi.
At the same time, Deng Ren tried desperately to find his mother's appearance when she was young in his memory.
He only lived in the Deng family for nine years, and during these nine years, he saw his parents only a few times.
Han Qiongyue and her companions seemed to have been guarding the border and doing the important work of defending the country.
There is a lack of companionship for children.
"Mother!"
Deng Ren missed her too much.
During these thirty-five years, every time he was closest to death, he wished he could see his mother again.
A few years ago, in order to avenge himself, he lurked in the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion and finally saw the mother he had been thinking about day and night, but they were only at a distance between master and servant.
Tonight, he could finally face her openly as her son.
Excitement, worry, fear, excitement... countless emotions gathered in his heart at this moment.
"Are you really my Ren'er?"
Han Qiongyue was actually already 70% sure in her heart. The bond between mother and child was blood ties that made her unconsciously fall in love with the person in front of her.
Just like how she felt when she first met Deng Youning.
"Mother, it's my son. He is unfilial and has come back late."
Deng Ren knelt down, kowtowed to Han Qiongyue, and spoke with a choked voice.
"You are... Ren Fugui?"
Nanny Dou tentatively called out the fake name Deng Ren used when he worked in the mansion.
When she saw the temporary worker for the first time, she felt that he looked somewhat like the young master when he was young.
After learning that the eldest master might not have died after falling off the cliff, she also tried Ren Fugui, but found no flaws.
It seems that my ability is still not as good as the young master's, and I was deceived by him.
Seeing that Deng Ren did not deny the name, Han Qiongyue probably knew what was going on.
