Chapter 141 Mother is Here
Luo Qing jumped off the high wall and landed steadily. Before she could even speak, she felt a sense of relief. Qin Shi had already gone down.
Luo Qing lowered his voice: "Qin, which way should we go now?"
Qin took Luo Qing to the courtyard where she used to live with her daughter, avoiding the servants on night patrol along the way.
Upon arriving at the courtyard, Qin said to Luo Qing, "Chief Luo, please hide for a moment and wait for me."
Luo Qing nodded, looked around, and then jumped up a tree in the yard in a few steps.
Then Qin went to push open the door to the house.
As soon as she arrived, Bai Diandian woke up. Smelling the familiar scent, Bai Diandian started frantically biting Qin Jin'an's clothes, forcefully pulling Qin Jin'an awake.
Qin Jin'an rubbed his sleepy eyes: "Bai Diandian, why aren't you asleep yet?"
The white dot let out a "woof woof".
"Master, your mother is here..."
It knew that the Qin family had arrived.
Qin Jin'an's eyes lit up, and he ran out of bed to open the door without even putting on his shoes.
Qin Shi was still holding her hand up when she suddenly saw the door open in front of her. The little body jumped into her arms, and Qin Shi subconsciously supported Qin Jin'an's bottom.
"My sweet baby."
Qin carried Qin Jin'an into the house; her precious baby had gotten a little heavier.
"Mother, what brings you here?"
Qin Jin'an was overjoyed; her mother had come to see her! She pinched her cheek and hissed.
It hurts a little; it's not a dream.
Qin Shi was both amused and exasperated, and pinched Qin Jin'an's cheek: "Sweetie, is anything bothering you?"
Qin Jin'an sat in Qin Shi's lap and shook his head: "Mother, I'm fine. Yuanyuan is very clever. She taught me a lot of tricks. I did a great job. I fooled them all..."
"Yuanyuan is a good child."
Knowing who Qin Jin'an met in his dream, Madam Qin felt at ease.
She was relieved once she saw her daughter in person and confirmed that she was safe.
"Mother, please don't come to see me in such danger next time. I will come to find you in my dreams."
Qin Jin'an leaned against Qin Shi's chest. If the Su family caught her, they would humiliate her mother, and she couldn't bear to see or hear it.
"Okay, Mom will wait for you to come home."
Qin was surprised that her dreams over the past few days had actually come true, and she felt a sweet warmth in her heart.
"Sweetie, tell Mommy you've made a new friend..."
It's a small green snake...
Qin shivered.
Qin Jin'an nodded and pulled Qin Shi outside, saying, "Mother, I'll show you it. It loves to eat eggs."
When Qin Jin'an reached the tree, he heard the little green snake's angry voice.
"Dare to kill me—I'll poison you, I'll poison you..."
Qin Jin'an anxiously clung to the tree trunk and looked up, where she saw Luo Qing. She quickly said, "Uncle, can you please let Xiao Qing go..."
When the green snake saw Qin Jin'an, its twisting body slowed down a bit. This kid is quite nice.
It is not afraid of danger and even protects it when it sees outsiders.
"Chief Luo, don't kill this snake yet."
Qin quickly spoke up as well, saying that this was a friend her daughter had mentioned to her several times in her dreams.
Luo Qing, who was about to sever the snake's head, paused. He climbed down from the tree and said to Qin, "Sister Qin, this is a bamboo viper, it's poisonous..."
Qin Jin'an had already reached out to grab the snake from Luo Qing's hand. She grabbed the small green snake and said to Luo Qing, "Uncle Luo, it won't bite. Please let it go..."
Luo Qing looked at Qin Shi.
Qin did not object; in fact, she nodded to him.
Luo Qing thought the mother and daughter were a bit crazy, but seeing the little girl's anxious look, he couldn't bear to kill another snake. However, he couldn't just give it to the child like that, so he threw the snake away into the distance.
Qin Jin'an felt a little sorry for the little green snake, wondering if it had been injured in the fall.
Luo Qing said, "This is a venomous snake. I was almost bitten just now. Its venom is very potent, so we can't take the risk."
He had only been up the tree a short while when he spotted the green snake.
He immediately perked up and grabbed the snake's head the moment it bit him, intending to crush it to death. However, the Qin mother and daughter suddenly appeared, and he was afraid that making a noise would frighten the child, so he waited.
Who knew the child would run straight to that tree.
Making friends with the Green Snake is simply unbelievable.
"The little green snake won't see me anymore..."
Qin Jin'an sighed. It was terrified and refused to come out again.
Qin comforted her, "It's alright, my dear. I'll have Bai Diandian bring it some treats from now on. It won't be angry."
Qin Jin'an nodded.
Luo Qing was shocked; this girl actually kept snakes.
"Mother, look, I'm much better now."
Qin Jinan ran two laps.
Qin's eyes reddened, and her heart softened.
"Sweetie, go back to your room and get some sleep. Mommy will come see you again next time."
Madam Qin escorted Qin Jin'an back to her house. It was a chilly early winter night, and she was worried that her daughter would catch a cold.
Qin Jin'an obediently went back to bed and got into the covers.
Qin sat beside her, smiling and gently patting her until Qin Jin'an fell asleep.
Qin Shi patted Bai Diandian, who was quietly sleeping beside Qin Jin'an, before getting up, gently closing the door, and leaving.
Just as when they came in, Luo Qing led Qin Shi out.
After escorting Qin back to the inn, he went home.
——
After Qin Jin'an fell asleep, he drifted into a dream. Qi Yuanyou saw him and immediately smiled and said, "Yu Bao, you're here."
He can no longer see her every day, and he comes to this place to sleep every night. While waiting, he feels empty inside. He can't tell Qin Jin'an any of this because he knows that Qin Jin'an spends the time she doesn't come to see him visiting her mother. All he can do is wait, and he only feels truly happy when he sees Qin Jin'an.
Qin Jin'an nimbly climbed onto Qi Yuanyou's stomach and lay down. She happily shared with Qi Yuanyou, "Yuanyuan, I'm so happy! My mother came to see me tonight, and it wasn't a dream!"
"Your mother must love you very much."
Qi Yuanyou was very envious. His mother died from a massive hemorrhage as soon as he was born, his palace caught fire, and the palace maids who held him would fall over. His special destiny was evident from the moment he was born.
He once thought the care he received from Consort Shu was maternal love, but he later realized that it was not. It was just Consort Shu seeking revenge because he had caused the death of her son, and she wished him dead.
But he's tough; he won't die easily, after all, he survived being born and nearly drowned.
He was so special that he still remembered the suffocating feeling of drowning when he was born, and the only person who truly loved him was his grandmother. That's why he envied Qin Jin'an.
“My mother loves me very much. If you ever see me, you won’t envy me anymore. I’ll make my mother your godmother, and I’ll give you half of her.”
Qin Jin'an said naturally, feeling sorry for Qi Yuanyou as well.
He's such a good person, that's why Mom adopted him as her godson. His family is so good, it must be good for Mom. Mom's warmth comes from cooking delicious food and making two new outfits and shoes.
Qin Jin'an was afraid that Qi Yuanyou was too greedy, so she earnestly instructed him: "You can't ask my mother to do too much, okay? You can eat the food my mother cooks, and my mother can make you two new clothes and shoes, but that's all. Doing too much will make my mother tired."
