Chapter 687: Wanquan Wedding Date Set
Tong Yan greedily felt the softness under her hands. The warm touch was so real that it finally coincided with her countless dreams.
Suddenly she felt a chubby little hand gently placed on her face, wiping away her crystal tears.
"Furui...I really found you. It wasn't a dream, you know? I heard your soft little voice calling me to save you all night long, but it was useless. Not only could I not find you, I couldn't even leave the palace. I could only blame myself and pray every day, hoping that you would be safe and happy."
Tong Yan's voice was soft and gentle, carrying a strong sense of reluctance and memories, making several people present secretly shed tears.
Especially Wan Ersao, as a mother and having lived with Fubao for several years, she can better understand Tongyan's feelings at the moment and can therefore empathize with him.
"Fubao, she is your mother, why don't you hug her? She didn't lose you on purpose, she was helpless too. Now she has finally found you. From now on, you will have two mothers who love you and care for you, and you will be happier."
Wan Ersao finally opened her heart completely at this moment. She looked at the weak beauty lying on the kang and felt indescribably uncomfortable. How strong a willpower did it take for her to hold on until now?
She just hadn't seen Fubao for half a year and she lost her appetite. But he managed to hold on for so many years and found Da Qi from Yue State.
Wan Ersao felt that she definitely couldn't do it.
Fubao turned her head to look at Wan Ersao and saw that Wan Ersao was smiling with tears in her eyes and nodding at her, her eyes full of encouragement.
Fubao was a little overwhelmed. She couldn't bring herself to call a stranger "mother" all of a sudden, but because she looked so pitiful, she could hug her.
Fubao bent down and lay on Tongyan's body. Tongyan's body suddenly stiffened. She was stunned for a moment, and then the surprise that was about to overwhelm her came towards her.
"Furui...you..." Tong Yan hugged Fubao's little body tightly with both hands, so excited that she couldn't speak.
"Although I can't call you mother yet, the fact that you came from so far away to find me shows that you really love me. I am willing to try to get along with you. Can you give me some time?" Fubao's voice was very low, but it sounded so sweet to Tongyan's ears.
"Okay, okay... I'm not in a hurry, you don't have to force yourself. Mother understands your feelings. You have done better than mother." Tong Yan had a smile on her lips at this time, and the whole person looked like a plum blossom that had just bloomed in winter, sacred and noble.
"My name is Fubao. From now on, you can just call me Fubao like everyone else. No matter what my previous name was, I don't think I liked it. You probably don't like it either, right?" Fubao climbed up from Tong Yan and said, blinking his big eyes.
Tong Yan hummed softly, "Okay, Fubao is a good name, it means blessing."
Then Tong Yan looked at Ali, "Ali, help me up."
"You need to rest well now. It's best not to move around, otherwise it will be bad for your body." Fubao didn't know what Tong Yan was going to do, but seeing that she was about to get up, she immediately reminded her as a doctor.
"It's okay, I know my body well. I won't die if I move. Now that I have found you, I will cherish my life more." Tong Yan smiled at Fu Bao, and the room was suddenly filled with light.
"So beautiful." Bai Zhi stood aside and looked at Tong Yan like a crazy fan.
Ali stepped forward to help Tong Yan up, and Fubao quickly supported her arm from the side.
Tong Yan slowly turned around and faced Wan Ersao.
"Sister-in-law, you are Fubao's savior, and also our Tong family's benefactor. From now on, we are all one family. Please allow me to pay my respects to you on behalf of myself and my Tong family."
After Tong Yan finished speaking, he knelt directly on the kang and bowed to Wan Ersao.
Wan Ersao was so scared that she quickly dodged.
"Oh, no, you mustn't do that. Hurry up and get up. You are the imperial concubine. How can you kneel down to me? I can't bear it. Please stop torturing me."
Wan Ersao waved her hands and hurried forward to pull the man up.
But Tong Yan was determined to bow, and even though he was weak, he still stayed tightly against the kang.
"Sister-in-law, please listen to me." Tong Yan sat up straight, looked at Wan Ersao, and reached out to hold Wan Ersao's arm.
When Wan Ersao saw that Tong Yan stopped bowing, she felt relieved and helped Tong Yan sit down against the quilt.
"Let's talk slowly. We still have a lot of time. There's no need to rush."
Tong Yan took Wan Ersao's hand and sat down.
"Sister-in-law, I must make it clear, otherwise it will easily bring trouble to your family."
When Wan Ersao heard these two words, she immediately sat up straight.
"Then take your time and drink some ginger soup to warm your body first."
Guihua quickly handed over the ginger soup that had just been served.
Ali took it and fed it to Tong Yan mouthful by mouthful.
After drinking the ginger soup, Tong Yan's forehead began to sweat slightly.
"Sister-in-law, there will no longer be Concubine Yan in the world. She is dead. Everyone in the whole Yue Kingdom knows about this. From now on, I will only have two identities: the daughter of the Tong family and the mother of Fubao. Although Fubao has not recognized me yet, I believe that she will recognize me in the future."
Wan Ersao nodded, "Yes, Concubine Yan is dead. We all remember that you are Fubao's mother."
Tong Yan then smiled and nodded.
Although she faked her death in a covert way, the Kingdom of Yue had a very powerful imperial teacher, and she was afraid that she would not be able to cover it up. If the coffin was opened, everything would be exposed.
Tongyan's worries were largely resolved and she began to feel sleepy.
After Tongyan fell asleep, Banxia came back on horseback.
"Miss, I have got the medicine back, and I have discovered something very happy."
Pinellia ternata is mysterious and attracts everyone's attention.
"Girl, what's the big news? Tell me quickly."
Banxia took out a letter from her bosom and handed it to Old Lady Wan.
"Madam, this is a letter from the general. I happened to meet the postman delivering the letter on my way to town. He was asking about our address. I heard him and took the letter back directly."
Old Lady Wan quickly took the letter and opened it while saying, "Even if it's from Quan'er, what does it have to do with the big happy event?"
"Madam, when we came back, the general said that if his wedding date was set, he would write to his family. Did you forget? Does this letter mean that his wedding date is set?"
Banxia has always remembered this incident.
Old Lady Wan slapped her thigh and laughed, "Really? You have a good memory, girl. Come on, Fubao, read it and see what's written here. Grandma can't read a single word, so it's useless to read it."
Old Lady Wan handed the letter to Fubao. Fubao had been craning his neck and standing on tiptoe to read it, and he took the letter from Old Lady Wan.
Fubao couldn't wait to unfold the letter and read it word by word.
"Oh, Quan'er has really set a date for the wedding. It's September next year. So do we have to go there in May next year? Where should we pick up the bride? And the etiquette of three matchmakers and six betrothals must be followed. Our family is marrying the daughter of a third-rank official. We can't let others laugh at us. We have to find someone who knows the business to ask. It can't be as simple as we do in the countryside." Old Mrs. Wan was so excited that she had already thought about some of the problems that would come up.
Everyone immediately joined in the discussion.
"Grandma, don't worry. There are still several months left. We have ready-made people here, one inside and one outside. Can't we ask them?" Fubao pulled Grandma Wan's hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
After Fubao's reminder, she immediately remembered that the people living in her house now were not ordinary people. It would be ridiculous to leave the people at home unattended and go out to look for them.
