He stroked the child's little head, over and over again, with care and love.

Not far away.

Behind the gate at the corner, Gu Qingqing was holding Ling Che's hand, standing there, watching the whole scene, her eyes almost sank to the extreme.

Ling Che had a stern face and gloomy eyes, and his childish brows were filled with hatred.

If this woman had not inserted herself into his family, his father would not have disliked his mother, and he would not have been so unfortunate.

From childhood to adulthood, his father had never caressed him so gently.

In the father's heart, he and his mother are just insignificant strangers. This mother and daughter are his white moonlight and his favorites!

Ling Che clenched his hands, gritted his teeth, and stared at Yun Jiao, his eyes almost spitting fire.

Since it is unfortunate, then everyone should be unhappy.

Since life is not easy, then no one else should think about having an easy life!

.

main hall.

The servants served tea. Qin Ye held little Yun Jiao in his arms and gave her Wei Xi Ziye's toys to play with. Yun Ying and Ling Qianyi sat opposite each other and talked about family matters over the past few years.

"Yun Ying, you've lost weight."

Yun Ying touched her face and said, "Maybe I got a little tanned."

It was not easy for her to raise her daughter alone. She had to worry about the child, go up the mountain to collect herbs, do some small business, and raise chickens and ducks. She was busy every day.

But she likes this busy and fulfilling life.

Watching her daughter grow up healthy day by day, she feels that it is all worth it.

"How have you been these past few years?" Yun Ying asked.

“Okay, okay…” Ling Qianyi nodded, swallowing all the bitterness. “My son is the same age as Jiaojiao, but unfortunately he is a little shy, so he went back to the inn with his mother. Otherwise, Jiaojiao could have gotten to know him.”

Yun Ying smiled and said, "After the wedding in a few days, it won't be too late to see each other again. Jiao Jiao is not shy and can play with him."

The two of them talked and laughed, a word here and a word there, reminiscing about the past.

The relationship between the two was as plain as water, but actually with a faint aroma of wine, just like two good friends who had known each other for years and met again after a long separation. There was no strangeness or awkwardness, and they could always chat no matter how long they hadn't seen each other.

Qin Ye asked the two to stay and reminisce about the past. "Jiaojiao, can I take you to the backyard to play? There are still many toys in the house. When your brothers and sisters get home from school, I will be able to play with you."

Yun Jiao subconsciously looked at her mother.

After getting her mother's permission, she happily took Qin Ye's hand and skipped away.

Entered the main courtyard.

There was so much fun to play that the little girl soon let go of her mind. She played Cuju, fetched the ball, played with the bamboo dragonfly, and turned the Kongming lock.

Qin Ye sat aside, looking at her with a smile.

Looking at the face that was 60% similar to Jing Yi, I couldn't help but think of Jing Yi again. I sent people to look for him these days, but there has been no news.

Looking at Yunying's expression, you can tell that she is not with Jingyi.

Just as I was thinking this, a secret guard came to the door and said, "Princess, the King of the Western Regions has replied to your letter."

Qin Ye was stunned.

Speak of Cao Cao and he will appear.

"Give it to me!" She took the letter hastily, opened it, and saw a familiar handwriting with a location written on it. "I'm going out for a while!"

Just stood up, thinking about the child again:

"Tell Xiaowu to come over and look after Yunjiao. I'll be back soon!"

"Jiaojiao, you play here for a while. I'll go do something else and be back soon, okay?"

Yun Jiao held the bamboo dragonfly in her hand and nodded sensibly: "I know, Aunt Qin, you can go quickly. Jiao Jiao is good and won't run around."
