"Qin Kecheng, can we return to Ningxiahe Village?" Liu Lanqing asked while eating at the inn.
"Lan Qing, it's difficult to go back now. I only planned to come to Luoyu so that we could fly together, but I didn't plan to return to Ningxiahe Village. The spiritual energy I lost along the way cannot be replenished in a short time.
Furthermore, Lei Fei was seriously injured while protecting us and is currently recuperating in the inn."
"It's all your fault. Why did you bring me here?"
Ningxiahe Village is already in chaos
Ning Xiaotang and Ye Jingxiao got the map of the forest together.
"Tangtang, even if we have this map, it would be very difficult for us to cross the forest with our strength!"
"I have to go no matter how difficult it is! My mother is waiting for me to save her!" Ning Xiaotang's face showed determination.
"Tangtang, you have to calm down. Didn't you give your mother the elixir to protect herself?" Ye Jingxiao mentioned it again.
"But, will Qin Kecheng take my mother into hiding? I may never see her again!"
"Don't worry, I'm here. I'll make Qin Kecheng show up!"
Ye Jingxiao said in his heart, as long as he arrived in Luoyu, his other identity would be waiting for him there, Luo Hao~!
Fifteen days later, Liu Lanqing, having eaten and drunk his fill, said coldly, "Let's organize our forces and return to Ningxiahe Village!"
Qin Kecheng had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and ordered, "Go and prepare!"
Five days later, it was already deep winter.
"It's so cold. I haven't seen my mother yet at this time. Will my mother be able to come back for the New Year?"
Ning Xiaotang looked at the outskirts of the forest, where there was a blanket of snow, and she was warming herself by the fire next to the carriage.
"Wait a little longer! Once today is over, it will be November 20th." Ye Jingxiao was also estimating the day when Liu Lanqing might come back, so he has been guarding here every day these days.
"Hurry up, I see a little fire ahead!"
Qin Kecheng walked in front holding Liu Lanqing's hand.
"It's Tangtang! My daughter!" Liu Lanqing's voice rang out in the dark forest.
"Mom? Are you really back?" Ning Xiaotang immediately stared towards the darkness.
"Tangtang, mother is back!" Liu Lanqing immediately threw away her black cloak, revealing her green dress.
"Mother! It's so great that you're back!"
"Lan Qing, I~" Ning Lenian immediately got out of the carriage, followed by Ning Ziye.
"The family is finally reunited!" Ning Xiaotang immediately raised her head with a sweet smile.
"Qin Kecheng? Uncle? How do you feel now?"
Qin Kecheng's old face turned panicked and he said, "I brought your mother back safe and sound. You have to give me the antidote!"
"Hmph, if I give you the antidote, you might kidnap my mother again! So, from now on, you will be a guest at the Ning family. When you no longer have any thoughts about my mother, I will give you the antidote!"
"What? I'm going back to Kyoto soon, I can't wait any longer! The antidote must be given to me immediately!"
"I'm so sorry! The antidote will take a long time to prepare. If you're in a hurry to go back to Kyoto, then go back first. It will take me at least a few years to prepare the antidote! Because we haven't gathered all the herbs yet!"
Qin Kecheng immediately panicked when he heard this and said, "What herbs are there? I'll prepare them!"
"Then listen carefully. I need third-grade medicinal herbs, hundreds of them. Go find them! I can't reveal the formula, so I'll carefully select them once you find them!"
Qin Kecheng's heart immediately turned cold. Where could he find hundreds of third-grade medicinal herbs? It would be difficult to find even ten!
"These… these third-grade medicinal herbs, even if ordinary people can only find ten, it's already the best. Hundreds of these, you think I'm a herbal farmer?"
"Just because you can't find it doesn't mean I can't find it!" Ning Xiaotang reached out and pulled Liu Lanqing's hand.
"Mom, let's go home!"
That night, Qin Kecheng finally lived obediently in Ning's house.
But Ning Zilin didn't give him a good look. He just took him to the guest house and left him there.
"Lei Fei, go pour me a cup of tea!"
Lei Fei immediately walked to the round table and poured out a glass of warm water.
"My Lord, there is no tea in this room, only warm water."
"I can barely drink it~" Qin Kecheng drank a glass of water and fell on the bed, feeling embarrassed and worried.
He tried various ways to treat his unspeakable secret, but there was no response at all.
This forced him to bring Liu Lanqing back to Ning's house.
But now it seems that Ning Xiaotang does not have a ready-made antidote, and his difficulties cannot be solved for the time being.
Ning Xiaotang's yard
"Girl, you are really amazing. You only gave the elixir and poison needle to the third lady, and let Qin Kecheng send the person back by himself!" Banyue immediately brought the foot washing water excitedly and spoke excitedly.
"Okay, I've heard you say this several times!" Ning Xiaotang immediately reached out and touched the palm of her hand.
At this time, Quan Yue took off Ning Xiaotang's shoes and socks, and then soaked her in warm water.
"Hmph, the water temperature is just right. It's really comfortable to soak in a basin of water on such a winter day!" Ning Xiaotang soaked her feet, quickly cleaned up, and went to bed.
At this time, Liu Lanqing was talking with Ning Lenian in his own courtyard about what had happened over the past ten days.
Ning Lenian excitedly hugged Liu Lanqing and fell asleep. The two of them couldn't help but stay together until dawn.
When the day was just beginning
Qin Kecheng woke up with a start and sat up: "What time is it?"
"My Lord, the hour of dawn is approaching!"
"I have to attend the morning court, Lei Fei, why didn't you wake me up?"
"My lord, this is in Ningxiahe Village, the home of Mrs. Ning San!" Lei Fei bowed, lowered his head secretly and pulled the corner of his mouth.
It was because Qin Kecheng looked too anxious, and he seemed to have forgotten his current important purpose.
"Mengzhu, hey, bring me my outer robe. Let's leave here today!"
"Yes, Lord Hou!" Lei Fei immediately took out a black robe and put it on Qin Kecheng.
At this time, at the entrance of the village, Ning Xiaotang said proudly: "My uncle personally escorted my mother back to celebrate the New Year!"
Chen Yilan immediately stepped forward and said, "Tangtang, this is really great! The Chinese New Year is only a little over a month and ten days away!"
Zheng Douqin immediately said, "Tangtang, look, is that Qingwei carriage Yu Zimei's?"
Ning Xiaotang immediately looked up and said, "Sure enough, what is she doing here?"
Not long after, Yu Zimei stopped the carriage at the entrance of the village and walked down slowly.
"Sister Ning, I'm so sorry, I heard that your mother was taken away by the uncle of the emperor, Lord Qin.
Maybe it’s because Lord Qin couldn’t let go of the person from the past, so he kidnapped your mother!
I hope Sister Ning doesn't worry too much. The worst-case scenario is that Madam Ning San can only come back after she has another child!"
