554: Daughter
King Hei Mu and Lan Lan came incognito, bringing only a few personal guards with them. They had three carriages, two for passengers and one specifically for thank-you gifts, which were truly generous.
The Mu family members are all at home today, even Mu Chengzhi is there. It is a rare occasion for their family to be together, and the emperor has specially allowed them not to attend court.
When the Mu family saw King Heimu and Queen arriving, they hurried to greet them. Naturally, they knew the purpose of their visit, and both sides spoke to them very politely.
Mu Yongnian and the others sat with them for a while, then got up and left, leaving Shen Zian and Su Zhi to stay with them. They must have a lot to say.
"Brother Shen, Sister Mu, I have no way to repay you for your kindness to my parents. Please accept these small gifts." Lan Lan said gratefully, "You have acknowledged my parents as your godparents, so you are my relatives. We are a family from now on. No matter what happens, you can tell us. I will help you even if it costs my life."
King Blackwood said, "What Lan'er said is what I want to say as well. If you have any requests, please feel free to raise them. As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it."
Shen Zian said: "It is fate that we can be recognized as godfathers and godmothers. Since it is fate, there is nothing to ask for. If you really want to recognize us as relatives, then if you really have difficulties in the future, you will naturally ask for your help, but don't worry, it will definitely not be related to political affairs."
Su Zhi smiled and nodded, saying, "Godfather and godmother have taken good care of us over the years. If we have to thank them, we should thank them. Now that they have finally found you, we feel much more at ease. We will also be relieved if you can be filial to godfather and godmother in the future. As you can see, we are living a good life now, and there are very few opportunities to ask you for help. At least there is nothing to ask for now. You will owe us a favor."
Su Zhi thought about her own business and wanted to sell it to Hei Mu Country in the future. She could ask them for help. It would be easier to expand the market then. She would definitely get a lot of snowflake silver. She was very happy just thinking about it. Now she seemed to enjoy making money even more.
Old Man Lan and Aunt Lan were smiling on the side. They knew that Shen Zian and Su Zhi would not have any requests. They knew these two children very well. They were both good people.
"I thought you would take this opportunity to propose conditions that would benefit Liang Guo. It seems I was worrying too much."
King Hei Mu suddenly said. He could tell from the expressions of Shen Zian and Su Zhi that they were really not prepared to use personal favors to seek the interests of the countries. He was really a little uncomfortable because of his previous guess. No wonder he thought so. These two people were not only from Liang. They were also the daughter and son-in-law of the Marquis of Loyalty, and the adoptive father and mother of the eldest prince of Liang. With this identity, plus the fact that the Emperor of Liang had called the Lan family couple to the banquet in advance to meet Lan Lan, he had to think more.
There was a moment of silence in the room. Both Lan's father and Lan's mother glanced at the Black Wood King, thinking that their daughter's marriage to this man was good in every way except for his status. Others may think that being the ruler of a country is good, but they think that the status is too high, and it is easy to fall hard. Let their daughter also worry about the risk, they only have this one daughter, so naturally they have to worry. Now this son-in-law is talking so directly to Shen Zian and the others. It is really speechless.
Lan Lan also glanced at her husband, wondering why he was being so blunt. Since he had no such intention, why not just let it go? Why did he say what he was thinking? It was so embarrassing. He might even get angry. She didn't want to make Shen Zian and the others angry. He was her parents' benefactor. He was also her parents' godparent, and she was also her relative!
"Kimoto."
"Lan Lan, nothing's wrong."
Su Zhi smiled and said to Lan Lan that she thought King Heimu's words were not offensive, and that this kind of person made people feel that it was not so difficult to get along with him.
Shen Zian thought so too. He thought that King Heimu wanted to use this sentence to prevent them from proposing such conditions again in the future. This is what a head of a country would do.
Shen Zian and Su Zhi think so, but someone doesn’t think so, and that person is Yueyue.
"How can you think so much about my parents? They are not that kind of people! They are the best people in the world!"
Yueyue knew that King Hei Mu and the Queen were coming, so she ran over quietly, hid behind and watched quietly. Naturally, she heard their conversation. Although she was not very old, she understood some of it. She knew that what King Hei Mu said was not good for her parents, so she was a little angry. She knew that her parents were not her biological parents. She was rescued by them. They treated her very well and treated her like their own daughter, making her live a happy life. She had a good memory and still remembered the hard days she had before being rescued by her parents, so she cherished her current life even more. She also knew how good her parents were, and she would be very angry if anyone treated them badly.
Now Yueyue thinks that King Heimu is not good to her parents, so she jumps out and blames him, thinking that no matter who he is, he cannot bully her parents.
Everyone looked at Yueyue together. In fact, they all noticed that there was someone hiding behind her, but they didn't pay much attention to it. Now that she jumped out, everyone paid attention to her.
Shen Zi'an and Su Zhi both couldn't help but think that their daughter was not raised in vain, as she knew how to speak for them. They just needed to teach her how to talk to people in the future. It seemed that Yueyue had been in the palace every day these days, and had been spoiled by the emperor and empress to the point of being lawless.
When Old Man and Aunt Lan saw Yueyue, they smiled, waved to her to come through, their eyes sparkling.
Lan Lan's eyes widened as she looked at Yueyue. She thought this little girl looked really like herself when she was a child.
King Hei Mu also looked at Yueyue without blinking. He looked at his wife, and saw that she was staring at Yueyue, and his heart ached slightly. If their daughter had not been lost, she would be this big now.
"Dad, Mom, is her name Yueyue? She's so pretty, is she the daughter of Big Brother Shen and Sister Mu? I didn't expect that they look so young, but the child is already so big."
Lan Lan looked at Yueyue and said softly, "If her daughter were still alive, she would be this old now. Su Zhi's daughter looks so much like her and she also saved her parents. It's really fate."
Old Man Lan said, "This is Yueyue, Yueyue, these are Grandpa's daughter and son-in-law, you should call them aunt and uncle first."
"Aunt, Uncle." Yueyue called obediently, then wrinkled her nose, raised her head and said, "You are not allowed to say bad things about my parents, they are the best. If you say bad things about them, I will not like you anymore."
Su Zhi smiled after hearing this, thinking Yueyue was still so cute, but when she saw the way Lan Lan looked at Yueyue, she raised her eyebrows, and then she understood that Old Man Lan and his family loved Yueyue very much, because Yueyue looked like their daughter when she was a child, and now Lan Lan also saw it. It was no wonder, if she met a little girl who looked like her when she was a child, she would stare at her. But why did the Black Wood King stare at her? Could it be that he had also seen Lan Lan's appearance when she was a child?
Lan Lan smiled and said, "Yueyue is really filial. Don't worry, we didn't say your parents are bad. They are very good. They are my relatives! You are also my relative. Come here and let your aunt see you. You look so much like your aunt when she was a child. Your aunt likes you when she sees you. This jade locket is for you to wear."
As Lan Lan spoke, she took off a jade lock from her wrist. It was a gold chain with a small jade lock carved out of white jade on top.
Yueyue shook her head and said, "Aunt, that's too expensive. I don't want it. You can keep it for yourself. As long as you don't say bad things about my father and mother in the future, I will like you."
"This child is very filial to Zi'an and Zhi'er. You must not say bad things about them in the future, otherwise you will offend Yueyue and you will suffer the consequences."
Auntie Lan said, then stood up and said to Shen Zian and Su Zhi, "Zian, Zhier, Muyuan, Laner, I'm going to take Yueyue to that room for a while, Zhier, come with me."
Shen Zian and Su Zhi looked at each other, feeling a little strange, while Heimu Wang and Lan Lan didn't understand what they were going to do.
Su Zhi went with Aunt Lan.
When they got to the inner room, Aunt Lan whispered a few words in Su Zhi's ear and then looked at Su Zhi.
Su Zhi's eyes widened. Just now, Aunt Lan told her that Lan Lan had a daughter who was lost. It was said that she went to Liangguo and her life or death was unknown. The child was very similar to Yueyue in age and appearance. Aunt Lan asked Lan Lan if there was anything special about the child. Lan Lan told her a few things. Today, Aunt Lan wanted to see if Yueyue matched the characteristics. Aunt Lan was very close to Yueyue, and Yueyue was also an orphan. She would rather have a glimmer of hope and wanted to see.
"I haven't told them yet, I just want to see if it's true, Zhier, you also want to find Yueyue's biological parents. Now it seems that Yueyue may be our granddaughter, can you let me confirm it? If you don't agree, I won't look at it."
Aunt Lan looked at Su Zhi. She thought of her daughter's heartbreak when she cried and said her child was lost in front of her yesterday. She also knew that Su Zhi wanted to find Yueyue's biological parents, so she brought it up. Otherwise, she would not say it so directly. At least she would hesitate.
Su Zhi saw Aunt Lan looking at her nervously, smiled and held her hand and said, "Godmother, since you know what I'm thinking, why are you still worried? Go and check on Yueyue, right? If it's true, that would be great. Yueyue will definitely be very happy. I'm happy for her and you, too."
"Hey! As long as you agree!"
Aunt Lan said with a smile, thinking in her heart that even if Yueyue was really her granddaughter, as long as Su Zhi didn't let her go and Yueyue didn't want to leave Su Zhi, then her daughter and son-in-law had no chance of taking Yueyue away.
