After feeding the two children, Chen Yao tidied her clothes while looking at their cute sleeping faces, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.
Xiao Yan, who was lying on his side, supported himself on his elbows and looked at her straight, his eyes full of love.
After a while, he said quietly, "Yaoyao, since the children are already asleep, then... shouldn't we go to bed too...?"
Chen Yao raised her eyes to look at him, with some amusement in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Then let the children sleep with us tonight."
Xiao Yan:!!!
…
final--
The two children were taken away by their wet nurse, and the noise in Qinglin Courtyard never stopped all night.
A few days later.
General Zhongwu's Mansion.
Xie Jingyan and the veiled Qi Qingyun appeared together in front of Old Master Qi and Qi Huaian.
Qi Qingyun took off the veil with tears in her eyes, revealing a face with several large light scars.
Old Master Qi and Qi Huaian both stared at her, too shocked to speak, their thoughts already surging like raging waves.
Qi Qingyun told them one by one what had happened to her over the years.
It turned out that after she was murdered, she had many wounds on her face and body, and had lost her memory.
Later, she became more and more dependent on Chen Chi, who saved her life, and fell in love with him. Then she married him and had Chen Yao.
However, when Shen Yao was five years old, she accidentally ate a poisonous wild fruit and fainted. Shen Chi couldn't detect her breathing, saw her uneasy face, and felt her cold body, mistakenly thinking she was dead.
The custom in Qingshui Village is that if someone dies suddenly in an accident, they cannot hold a funeral or memorial service, otherwise the ghost of the deceased will never leave.
So Chen Chi hastily wrapped her in a mat and buried her in a distant wild mountain.
The next day, Xie Jingyan and his entourage happened to pass by the tomb where Qi Qingyun was buried while hunting, and then they heard a cry for help coming from the tomb.
Later, Qi Qingyun was rescued by Xie Jingyan, and in order to avoid trouble, a corpse deliberately picked up from the mass grave was placed in the grave.
At first, Xie Jingyan only thought about saving people and didn't think about anything else. However, after seeing Qi Qingyun's clean face with scars, he inexplicably felt that she was somewhat similar to an old friend, so he wanted to help her heal her wounds from beginning to end.
However, because the poison in Qi Qingyun's body spread too widely, not only did her mind become foggy and she could not remember the past, her body also became even weaker.
After I finally recovered, I still couldn't remember my name or where I lived.
Later, Xie Jingyan developed feelings for her after spending time with her, and then took her as his concubine. Later, after Zhang Huiyi passed away, he promoted her to the Marquis's wife.
If she had not recovered her memory before, he might never have known that, by some strange coincidence, his old friend was actually right next to him.

It was already afternoon when Chen Yao learned this series of news.
After she and Xiao Yan instructed the wet nurse to take good care of the children, they went to the General Zhongwu's Mansion together.
The mother and daughter who had been separated for many years suddenly met each other, and both of them had tears in their eyes.
The first thing Qi Qingyun said was apology and compensation, both materially and emotionally.
On the table behind her, there were piles of wooden boxes of various sizes, most of which were gifts for the Qi family and Shen Yao.
Chen Yao smiled and said to her: "Mom, it's good that you are still here."
At this moment, the system background suddenly prompted: "Congratulations, the hidden side quest has been successfully completed, and the double reward has been issued. Your second wish: [All props will be free from now on.] The realization rate has increased to 40.02%."
At the same time, Qi Qingyun was already crying like a tearful baby, and was so moved that she couldn't speak.
Xie Jingyan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly embraced Qi Qingyun and said to Chen Yao, "In addition to the Zhongwu General's Mansion, the Yongchang Marquis' Mansion is also your mother's home. You are welcome to go back and live there anytime."
Chen Yao glanced at her stepfather, smiled and nodded, and said, "Okay, I will bring my two grandchildren back to see you when I have time."
Hearing this, Qi Qingyun suddenly stopped crying. She turned around as if she remembered something, took a few wooden boxes from the table, placed them in Chen Yao's hands, and said, "This is the full moon gift I specially prepared for my two grandsons. Please accept it."
Chen Yao was stunned and said, "Then I will thank the grandmother on behalf of the two children."
Only then did Qi Qingyun smile.
night.
At General Zhongwu's mansion, everyone gathered together for a lively dinner.
Old Master Qi, Qi Huaian, Jiang Rou, Qi He, Qi Qingyun, Xie Jingyan...
Chen Yao and Xiao Yan both felt that this was the busiest day in the General Zhongwu's Mansion in a long time.
After the meal, the group of people reluctantly went home.
*
Chen Yao and Xiao Yan returned to the mansion, played with Xiao Yue, Xiao Yu and Xiao Qin for a while, and then returned to Qinglin Courtyard.
After bathing.
Chen Yao snuggled in Xiao Yan's arms, silently feeling that fate was truly wonderful. Fortunately, her mother was saved by Xie Jingyan back then, otherwise...
Xiao Yan rubbed her hair and comforted her, "Fortunately, the ending is good."
Chen Yao sighed: "Yeah, it's not easy."
Xiao Yan leaned against her and whispered, "Yaoyao, I feel sorry for you. For so many years, you have grown up alone... If only I could have met you earlier."
Hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes suddenly felt sore.
Xiao Yan held her in his arms, kissing her again and again, and said softly, "So, I cherish every day we are together now. If possible, Yaoyao, I really hope to meet you again in the next life..."
Chen Yao's heart moved, and she hugged him and kissed him hard.
…
This night seemed especially long.
An indescribable sweet scent filled the entire room.
…
Before daybreak, Xiao Yan got out of bed with a satisfied look on his face and said to the limp Chen Yao, "Yaoyao, go to sleep. I'm going to clean up and go to work."
Chen Yao: 6.
She admired him from the bottom of her heart for his energy, for being able to go on duty without sleeping all night.
Chen An knocked on the door and spoke. Xiao Yan heard him going to the kitchen to bring breakfast, and he stopped him uncomfortably, "Ah, no, I don't want breakfast today."
Chen An, who was standing outside, was taken aback. Thinking he was in a hurry, he subconsciously asked, "Master, how about I pack some good food for you to take with you? You can eat it on the way?"
There was no response from inside the door, but there was a strange muffled sound.
Chen An pricked up his ears and waited quietly for his grandfather's reply.
After a while, his grandfather's voice could be heard from inside: "Well, then you should prepare some good food to take with you. I'll eat it on the way."
Chen An was relieved at this. He responded and then went back to prepare for him.
