Liu Yu shook her head with a bitter face: "His father said there was news, but we still haven't found him after searching for so long."
“Mother,” Lu Qingyan wanted to say something comforting, but before she could speak, she felt that all words were too pale.
Liu Yu wiped away her tears: "We've been searching for so many years, so we're not in a hurry anymore. It's just that this time we finally got some news, and your father and I had such high hopes, but we got nothing. We can't get over this."
Lu Qingyan asked the system: "System, are those two children in Kyoto?" She thought that since there was news from here, they must have been there.
[Ding—System deducts 100 points, character information successfully redeemed. Master, they have indeed always been in Kyoto, the children of a fifth-rank official's family. The family has a good relationship, the brothers are harmonious and respectful, and the mistress treats them very well.]
Lu Qingyan felt relieved: [Is this the same couple who entrusted their child to you back then?]
[Yes.] The system also commented with some emotion: [Tian Shenhua has a good eye for people; this couple truly keeps their promises and are honest and kind.]
Lu Qingyan smiled: "Having seen many people, one's discernment develops. Father has traveled all over the country for so many years, how could he not have this ability?"
The system wagged its tail: "Master, don't worry. Kyoto is both big and small; people living in the same place are bound to bump into each other sometimes. You can't interfere."
Lu Qingyan looked at Liu Yu, whose eyes were filled with worry, and said, "Mother, maybe no news is good news. Perhaps my younger siblings have also been looking for Father and Mother. They've just been moving around and missed each other for a while. You and Father should wait patiently for a few more days. Maybe they'll come looking for us soon."
Lu Qingyan couldn't offer any more words of comfort. Since she knew there was a possibility of them meeting again, she thought of advising her to go out more: "Mother, finding someone is the hardest thing. Everything depends on fate. Since you and they are related by marriage, you will meet again someday. Go out more often when you have time, pray to the gods and Buddhas, and maybe you will meet them again."
Liu Yu wiped away her tears and nodded: "We should go to the temple to pray. Over the years, our family has had many misfortunes, but we have always managed to turn bad luck into good, thanks to their protection. We've just been too busy to burn incense, and perhaps it is because of this disrespect for the Bodhisattva that we have this karma today."
"Yiyi, tell me honestly, are you going to go with him?" Xiao Liuchen came to discuss marriage with them early in the morning, which really startled them. They thought he was lying to them, but the imperial decree left them speechless.
Fifteen years ago, Liu Yu was a maid in the He family, making a living under the care of her kind-hearted mistress. Later, when her family suffered misfortune, she married her childhood sweetheart, taking her young mistress with her. Over the years, she has always felt that her young mistress was different, but she also hoped that she could live an ordinary life, only wishing for a peaceful and carefree existence.
The marriage to the second young master of the Xiao Prince's Mansion is considered excellent by others, but Liu Yu is filled with worry. Wealthy families often have multiple wives and concubines, and the young master has no powerful maternal family. If he suffers any grievances, he will have no one to complain to.
Lu Qingyan felt a warmth in her heart when she saw Liu Yu's worried gaze: "Mother, I know what I'm doing. I just need to go out with him. I'm not being silly. He's going out to take care of some business. I happen to know a little about medicine, so maybe I can help."
Although Liu Yu understood, she disagreed: "Men's affairs are their own business. You're already spoiled, why are you getting involved in these things?"
