"Your Highness, this servant did not know that the princess was coming back! Please do not worry, the princess has completed her mission of gathering snow lotus from the extreme region and will not be leaving again."
Ah Sheng jogged after Gu Lingchen and answered.
Gu Lingchen hadn't even had time to change his clothes when he saw Liu Sisi coming out of the main hall.
He hurried to greet her, "Sisi, you're finally back! I've been so worried about you."
He is already 15 years old and has grown to over 1.7 meters tall. His increasingly refined features make him even more handsome and dashing.
Wearing a battle robe, he looked even more heroic and extraordinary.
Looking at the ethereal figure before her, Liu Sisi thought to herself that Gu Lingchen was truly the president. He had perfectly inherited all the advantages of Consort Hui and Emperor Yong'an. He was indeed a sight to behold!
"Little Sisi?"
When Gu Lingchen saw Liu Sisi looking at him without saying anything, he thought something was wrong with him and quickly looked at himself.
"Um, thank you for your concern, Your Highness." Liu Sisi didn't want him to know that she was swooning over his face.
"Where are you going, little sister?" Gu Lingchen asked when he saw that she looked like she was about to go out.
"I have some private business to attend to at General Luo's residence."
Liu Sisi thought that once she arrived in the capital, she should at least visit her biological parents.
"Then I'll take my sister there." Gu Lingchen had finally managed to wait for her to return, and he wanted to stay with her a little longer, but he didn't want to let her go so easily.
“Okay,” Liu Sisi didn’t refuse. If someone was willing to give her a ride, it would save him the trouble of arranging a carriage.
The carriage arrived at General Luo's residence quickly. Gu Lingchen did not intend to go inside, but instead wanted to wait at the entrance.
"Your Highness, you should go back now. I might be here for quite a while," Liu Sisi said to Gu Lingchen after getting off the carriage.
"Alright!" Gu Lingchen had no choice but to return to the palace first.
Liu Sisi knocked on the gate of the Luo residence. After the servant who opened the gate went in to report, Xia Wanwan and Luo Ling'er came out to greet her personally.
Luo Kuanlong has been sent to the north to deal with those corrupt officials, so he is not at home.
"Sisi, come in quickly." Xia Wanwan was a little excited when she saw Liu Sisi. She wanted to grab her daughter's hand but was afraid of scaring her.
Luo Ling'er didn't have so many thoughts; she grabbed Liu Sisi and spun her around.
"Let your sister check you quickly. Are you hurt after going to such a far place? Honestly, you went so far by yourself without telling me. What if you encountered danger?"
Luo Ling'er looked like she was extremely worried about her younger sister.
"I'm fine, Sister Luo. Look at me, I'm perfectly fine, and I've even grown taller!" Liu Sisi felt warm inside as she felt Luo Ling'er's concern.
"Still calling me Sister Luo? I'm your own sister, you know that?"
"Come and see, this is a room that your mother personally decorated for you. Do you like it?"
Luo Ling'er led Liu Sisi into a room decorated according to the style of a young lady from a prominent family in ancient times. The room was spotless, showing that great care had been put into its design.
"Thank you... thank you, Mother."
Suddenly, she was called "Mother" instead of "Madam Luo." Although it felt a little awkward for Liu Sisi to call her that, seeing how much care she had put into her, she called her "Mother" too.
"Oh, I'm glad Sisi is happy. Can Mommy hug you?"
Xia Wanwan finally heard her youngest daughter call her "Mom." Overwhelmed with emotion, she couldn't express it in words. All she wanted to do was hug her daughter, whom she hadn't been able to protect all these years.
"Yes," Liu Sisi nodded.
After receiving an affirmative answer, Xia Wanwan gently hugged Liu Sisi in her arms.
"I've finally found you, and I can finally hear you call me 'Mother.' I'm so sorry for not protecting you properly, for letting you suffer outside from the moment you were born."
Xia Wanwan hugged Liu Sisi and poured out her longing and self-blame over the years, unable to calm down for a long time.
Soon, tears soaked their clothes. Liu Sisi let her hug her. She liked this feeling. She had never received maternal and paternal love in modern times, but here she received twice as much. She was very satisfied with this world.
Wang Dani, Wang Erni, and Xia Wanwan's maid had already left.
Only the mother and her two daughters remained in the room. Seeing that her mother's eyes were swollen from crying, Luo Ling'er took a handkerchief and went to help wipe away the tears from her face.
"Mom, didn't you say you'd cook a nice meal for my sister when you saw her? I'm hoping to benefit from her cooking! If you keep crying, when will I ever get to eat your homemade food!"
Upon hearing her eldest daughter's voice, Xia Wanwan immediately released Liu Sisi.
"I'm sorry, I lost my composure and just kept crying. Can Sisi stay at my house tonight? Tell me what you'd like to eat, and I'll cook a big meal for you two sisters myself, okay?"
Seeing Xia Wanwan's expectant eyes, Liu Sisi couldn't bear to refuse, so she agreed.
Sigh, let's talk about the Imperial Dragon Pavilion tomorrow! It won't make a difference if we wait another day.
Next, Xia Wanwan went to the kitchen to cook, while Luo Ling'er stayed in Liu Sisi's room and the two chatted about what Liu Sisi had seen and heard along the way.
Her eyes sparkled as she listened, and her gaze towards Liu Sisi was filled with admiration and worship.
"Little sister, you are really amazing and outstanding. I am so proud to have a little sister like you. I will take you as my role model."
Luo Ling'er's affection for Liu Sisi was obvious.
"My sister is also very outstanding. She is calm and composed in the face of adversity, which is something that ordinary noble ladies cannot do. The way she behaved when she was kidnapped by human traffickers that day also impressed me!"
"Dinner's ready! What are you two sisters chatting about? You seem to be having a great time."
