Linlang told Amu about the banquet at Princess Huasheng's mansion, "She invited you too. It seems the princess has some ulterior motives."
"She can't, and she doesn't dare."
Ah Mu smiled and said, "Actually, everyone has guesses about my identity, but there's no evidence. With my father around, Princess Huasheng wouldn't dare touch me."
"But he has already reached southern Xinjiang."
Ah Mu smiled and shook his head, "Linlang forgot, father is accompanying mother and brother to relax at the farm outside the capital."
"You, just take good care of your baby. It's right not to go to the party. You don't need to give Gu Yuanfang this face. Right now, the most important thing is the safety of you and your child. Everything else is irrelevant."
"I have good news for you. Lord Zhao will report to the capital in six days, and father will come with him." Amu took out a letter from home and handed it to Linlang. "This is the letter from father that I received today. Big brother has already read it."
"Dad has a letter."
Linlang was delighted. She hadn't received a letter from her father in a long time because of the Wanshou Festival. She took the letter and began to read it. Knowing that everything was fine at home and that her father was still in good health, Linlang felt relieved.
"There are still many things to deal with at home. I am not well enough to go back now, so let my eldest brother go back."
Counting the days, the Chinese New Year was only about twenty days away. Linlang said, "Let Luhua go back with us so that father and daughter can reunite for the New Year."
Ah Mu agreed, "It just so happens that my eldest brother also wants to go back and take a look, so we decided to leave tomorrow."
Linlang knew that Ah Mu and her eldest brother had arranged everything. "Then Dad will live in the Rong family after he comes. Should we move out? According to the current situation, Dad and my four brothers won't be able to come back before the New Year, so only Grandmother and Mom will be left at home."
"Big brother must go back to live with Dad. My father-in-law and four uncles went to the battlefield, leaving Grandmother and Mother alone at home. We must stay with them. I think Dad and Big brother will understand."
Ah Mu suggested, "How about we have a reunion dinner at the Marquis' Mansion at noon, and then go to the Rong family to accompany Dad and Big Brother in the evening?"
"That's all we can do."
Knowing that Rong Yi was going back, Mo'er insisted on going with him because he missed his friends in Lu'er Town.
Rong Yi had no objection, but he was afraid that the emperor would have an opinion. He asked Linlang and Amu, "Can we bring them?"
"Take him away." Amu touched the bun on Mo'er's head. Anyway, no one knew that their family had a prince, so let him go and have fun. With the emperor's palace masters following him, there would be no danger.
Mo'er cheered, "I'll go pack my luggage."
He ran away happily. I haven't let him go out recently and he feels so suffocated.
Linlang looked at his cheerful figure and said, "This kid doesn't look like a prince at all. He's hardworking, studious, and approachable. He can even hang out with the other kids in Lu'er Town."
Thinking of his situation, Linlang and Amu felt extremely distressed. The emperor hadn't mentioned taking him back to the palace, and he never mentioned returning to the palace. It was really like his father and mother didn't love him. They could only love him more.
After packing up their things, Song asked the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for the two of them to see off in the evening. The next day, Rong Yi took Mo'er back to Guliang County.
After sending Rong Yi and Mo Er away, Song prepared gifts and took Lin Lang and A Mu back to her parents' home. Various things had delayed her before, and only now did she have time to take her daughter and son-in-law to visit her uncle's house and get to know him.
The Song family is an ordinary family of scholars. Their residence is slightly larger than the courtyard of the Rong family in the capital, but it is decorated very elegantly.
The two brothers of the Song family separated after their parents passed away. Today, the younger sister came back with her niece and nephew-in-law, and Song Er brought his family to his eldest brother's house.
Speaking of which, Song and her family all live in the capital, and they have only seen each other a few times this year. Since going to Luer Town, the gift for August 15th was delivered by Su Jinrui, and Song has not seen her two brothers since summer.
Song Zhili and Song Dasao did a thorough cleaning of the house a day in advance. Today, they asked all their children to come back, and the whole family welcomed the arrival of Song mother and daughter and Amu.
"Master, Madam, they are coming. Auntie, the county lady, and Mr. Xiao are almost at the door."
"Just as I was talking about it, it's here. Hurry up, go to the door to greet them."
Song Zhili was extremely happy and ran towards the door with big strides. Behind him followed Song Zhilian and several young nephews and nephews. The eldest and second wives of Song and the other female relatives had to jog to keep up with him.
The whole family arrived at the door, and the carriage from the Anchang Marquis's Mansion also arrived.
Song led Linlang down from the carriage. Seeing her relatives in front of her, her eyes were red. "Big brother and sister-in-law, second brother and sister-in-law."
"Shion is back."
Everyone came forward and bowed to Linlang, "Greetings, County Lady."
Even if they are relatives, you should be polite.
Linlang quickly helped her uncle and aunt up. "Uncle and aunt, second uncle and second aunt, there's no need to be so polite. It's Linlang who should be the one to greet you."
"Thank you, County Master."
The Song family was very happy to have a county lord's niece.
Ah Mu stepped forward and bowed, "My nephew-in-law Xiao Yushu greets my eldest and second uncles, and my eldest and second aunts."
"This must be Amu, he is indeed a handsome man." Song Zhili admired Amu very much. He was a gentleman with outstanding temperament.
"Thank you for the compliment, uncle." Amu said politely, "My uncle and second uncle are just as refined as I imagined."
The Song family is made up of scholars, and Amu is the last disciple of the old chief priest. He definitely doesn't rely on his looks as rumored by the outside world. He must be very outstanding, but just low-key.
After hearing what Amu said, Song Zhili was very happy. "Come on, don't stand outside in the cold wind. Come into the house quickly and sit down to talk."
The whole family surrounded the mother and her two daughters and brought them into the house. When they arrived at the hall, Linlang and Amu formally paid their respects to their uncle and aunt, and met their cousins. They all gave them gifts, which was considered a formal recognition of their relationship.
Linlang and Amu also prepared generous gifts for everyone and asked Song to prepare them according to everyone's preferences.
Song Zhili's three-year-old grandson held the gift, staring at Linlang's belly with his big eyes. He insisted on getting down from his mother's arms, ran to Linlang, and put his hand on her belly, "Brother~"
The little guy felt someone touching him and moved. Even though Linlang was wearing a thick cotton jacket, Xiaobao could still feel the movement. He widened his eyes in surprise, "Brother."
Linlang smiled gently, "Well, my brother is saying hello to you."
"Oh." Xiaobao gently put his ear on Linlang's belly. He wanted to listen to what his brother said.
This cute look made everyone laugh, and Linlang loved it even more.
The eldest aunt asked Song in a low voice, "Is it true?"
Song nodded.
"That's great. Linlang is a blessed child." The aunt knew the environment where Linlang grew up. She had only heard of her reputation before and was worried that it would be difficult to get along with her.
When they met him now, he was a well-educated and well-mannered child who was very close to them. The eldest and second aunts looked at each other, and the smiles in their eyes became more sincere.
