Her pretty face froze instantly.
This, this, this...
What happened?
"Sir, another one has arrived!" Butler Jiang reported.
Everyone looked towards the door and became excited.
【Mother! Mother!】
"Mother!"
"Sister-in-law!"
The monkeys gathered around Zhao Ying. Zhao Ying picked up Shangguan Qingyue and couldn't help but kissed her. Then she said to everyone, "Don't be afraid, Mom is here!"
After saying that, Zhao Ying looked towards Jiang Youhou, her lips trembling slightly, her eyes filled with longing and love.
"Qi You..."
Jiang Youhou also stared at Zhao Ying in a daze.
The mother and son are connected by heart. For a moment, it seemed as if an invisible string was pulling them together, and both of them felt the beating of their hearts.
Jiang Youhou climbed down from Shangguan Zhu's body and became unexpectedly quiet and well-behaved. He put his hands behind his back and looked at Zhao Ying secretly, his little mouth tightly pursed, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
This... is his mother?
Isn’t his mother so beautiful?
How could he marry such a beautiful woman when his family is so poor?
Could he have been kidnapped?
He didn't care if she was kidnapped or not! They sold him, and he wouldn't forgive her!
Jiang Youhou looked like she wanted to get close to him but was also arrogant, which made Zhao Ying feel distressed. Zhao Ying hugged Shangguan Qingyue, her eyes red as she slowly approached Jiang Youhou, saying softly, "Qi You, I am your mother..."
This voice...
Jiang Youhou's gaze froze, and for a moment he seemed to be lost in hazy and distant memories.
There, there was a voice similar to this one, incredibly gentle, "Qi You...my dear Qi You, grow up quickly..."
"Qi You is so good..."
"Qi You, let your mother hug you..."
"Qi You has grown taller again..."
Caught off guard, Jiang Youhou's eyes felt sore and a tear slid down from the corner of his eye.
"mother?"
Zhao Ying burst into tears.
Her heart felt like it was wrapped in a cloud, floating but warm. She wanted to cry out loud and tell all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to thank them for their pity and kindness, which allowed her to reunite with Qi You.
Qi You doesn't have to repeat the previous tragedy.
The people in the room were infected by the emotions and their eyes turned red.
Shangguan Qingyue nestled her little face in the crook of Zhao Ying's neck and reached out to wipe her tears. "Don't cry, Mommy. Yue'er has found my third brother!"
Although Third Brother was a bad guy and took Yue'er away, Yue'er is magnanimous and doesn't hold it against him!
Zhao Ying ironed the little one tightly and rubbed his head, "Mother knows, mother knows!"
As soon as Shangguan Qingyue mentioned Jiang Youhou's evil deeds, the other children couldn't control themselves and started to complain one after another.
"Mom, my third brother asked me to bring him a spittoon!"
"As his brother, it wouldn't hurt if you held a spittoon for him!"
"Mom, my third brother asked me to wash his feet!"
"Your third brother is still young, give way to him!"
Zhao Ying suddenly looked at Shangguan Chengjing, her brows furrowed. "Chengjing, why aren't you wearing any clothes?"
Shangguan Chengjing: ...
Wow--
Shangguan Chengjing was about to complain when Jiang Youhou spoke from the opposite side.
In his eyes, a group of people seemed to be showing deep affection between mother and child (daughter), but in Jiang Youhou's view, it was not the case.
So he was the only one sold because his family was poor?
Jiang Youhou was filled with resentment and sadness towards his beautiful mother at this time, especially since his brothers and sisters were still reporting him, making him look like a bad boy who did all kinds of evil, so he was too lazy to explain.
Jiang Youhou said sarcastically with a stern face,
"He lost his clothes to me, so of course he has nothing to wear!"
Yes, yes! He was the one who bullied them! So what?
Humph! His beautiful mother didn't love him and sold him off. No matter how beautiful she was, he wouldn't acknowledge her!
Zhao Ying said softly, "Qi You, he is your older brother, can you please return the clothes to him?"
Jiang Youhou sneered, "If you want me, it's okay. If you beat me, I will return the clothes to him!"
After Jiang Youhou finished speaking, he waited for Zhao Ying's cold scolding. Mrs. Jiang was just like that. Because he was not her biological son, she had no love for him, but only scolded him like an elder.
If he loses his temper even a little, Mrs. Jiang will scold him!
However, he didn't expect that Zhao Ying not only did not blame him at all, but instead chuckled, with eyes full of indulgence and love.
She doted on him, "Okay, okay, Mommy will gamble with Qi You for a few rounds to make my Qi You happy!"
Jiang Youhou: ...
Jiang Youhou blinked, and his coldness could no longer be concealed.
Hmm...
My mother is so gentle, what should I do if I really want to be close to her?
No! He needs to have some backbone!
Shangguan Qingwan couldn't help but persuade her mother when she saw this, "Mother, don't gamble with my third brother, he's quite capable!"
Zhao Ying shook her head at Shangguan Qingwan. She didn't want to win. Just like she said, she could afford to use the money to appease her little son whom she hadn't seen for many years!
"No problem, Mom will play a few games with your third brother!"
Shangguan Bailin reminded her, "If that's the case, then mother, you'd better win. We've all lost, and you need to redeem us all!"
What does "du" mean?
Only then did Zhao Ying realize the seriousness of the situation. She thought it was just a matter of losing some money...
She couldn't help but look at the old Duke and second uncle, "Eunuch, second uncle, you..."
The old Duke waved his hand at her, his face a little embarrassed, "Don't mention it!"
Shangguan Zhu was unable to speak, "Sister-in-law, Dad lost all his money and my money, and also sold me to Qi You as a groom, and Dad himself... worked as a horse!"
Zhao Ying: ...
Is it such a big deal?
"Sister-in-law, you must win, otherwise if you go back and let brother know, I... no, my nephews and I will be in trouble!"
