"Ah..." Shi Qingmiao didn't know how to comfort him and could only look at him sympathetically.
"The main reason why Madam wants to come is that you, my master, haven't returned to Simu Kingdom for more than a month..." Fanxing told him.
"How could I not know!" The word "despair" was written in big bold letters on Si Shuo's face.
"But don't worry," Si Shuo took Shi Qingmiao's hand and reassured her, "My mother likes girls very much. She won't do anything to you!"
Shi Qingmiao frowned and was embarrassed to say that it was because she was worried that you would be beaten badly.
She said "Oh" obediently, then carefully tugged at the corner of his clothes and said to Si Shuo in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Then should we confess our affairs to the Queen Mother?"
Si Shuo pondered for a moment and said, "Let's hold off for now. We'll make a decision when my mother comes over in a couple of days. Maybe she can help us out."
Although Si Shuo's mother was quite fierce, she was still on his side.
On the other side, the Queen Mother also knew the news. She had already sent people to guard outside Funing City and be ready to welcome them at any time. Si Shuo's father was the Duke of Zhenguo in Simu Kingdom. The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo was coming to Funing City. In order to show the sincerity of the friendship between the two countries, the Queen Mother took the trouble to welcome her.
Finally, three days later, the Queen Mother arranged for the people guarding outside Funing City to pick up the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo.
She entered the city very quietly, and because it was an ordinary carriage, it did not cause any commotion.
The Queen Mother was waiting in Fengluan Palace, with Shi Qingmiao and Si Shuo on one side. Of course, Helan Minzhi was also called over. She still looked sick, neither smiling nor speaking.
When the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo walked in, she covered her face with a veil. Si Shuo sat upright and smiled at the newcomer. She politely saluted the Queen Mother.
When she took off the veil, the Queen Mother suspected she was hallucinating. She blinked several times until tears welled up in her eyes. Then she looked at the Duke of Zhenguo's wife who had taken off the veil and asked in a trembling voice, as if she was not sure, "You are, you are Shi Ruwan?"
Shi Qingmiao was eating grapes, but when she heard the name, she was startled and bit her tongue. She took a deep breath, but she was still heard by Si Shuo even though she was standing next to him.
"What's wrong?" he turned around and asked nervously.
Shi Qingmiao kept her eyes fixed on the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo. "Nothing, your mother is so beautiful."
Si Shuo: “…”
The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo smiled at the Queen Mother and nodded.
The Queen Mother seemed to have been struck by lightning. She stood up excitedly and stumbled a few steps. Eunuch Bai hurried to the front to support her, "Please go slowly."
"You really are...really Wan'er!" She exclaimed in surprise. Even if she hadn't seen Shi Ruwan for many years, she would definitely not make a mistake when she saw the light-colored mole on her lip.
And her appearance hadn't changed much. The Queen Mother was so excited that she was incoherent, "You, you come up and talk! Please take a seat, please take a seat!"
She was as anxious as a child, but Si Shuo was confused. It was not the first time for his mother to come, so why did she receive such a strange and warm reception?
He turned around to ask Shi Qingmiao, but she seemed to have her eyes attracted by the woman in the hall and said nothing.
After Shi Ruwan sat down, the Queen Mother hurriedly pushed the people around her away and said, "All of you please leave first. I have something to say to the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo."
Even Si Shuo and Shi Qingmiao were kicked out, but Helan Minzhi was happy to have some free time and returned to his Yuyu Palace.
Si Shuo, who didn't quite understand the whole thing, had many questions, "Does the Queen Mother know my mother?"
Shi Qingmiao sat on the stone steps in front of Fengluan Palace, avoiding the sun, and said to Si Shuo very seriously: "She is my mother."
Si Shuo was puzzled: "That's my mother."
Then he looked questioning again: "Could it be that I saw it wrong???"
Shi Qingmiao: "You're not mistaken, but she is indeed my mother."
Si Shuo: "I..."
The two of them seemed to be arguing about something that needed to be discussed clearly. Shi Qingmiao propped up her chin and said, "I'm your biological child."
She knew Si Shuo's background, so she said that. The person in question pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Okay, she's your mother."
Shi Qingmiao: "..."
Si Shuo: "So what's going on?"
He had a rough idea of what was going on, but it wasn't coherent.
Shi Qingmiao gazed at the sunset in the distance and, in the tone of an old story, recounted the story she knew: "My father is the former crown prince. He and my mother were secretly together. The Queen Mother said it was dishonorable, and to protect me, she never revealed my identity. My mother left Funing City for some reason. None of us knew where she went, so we've been waiting for her to come back."
Shi Qingmiao omitted some reasons and details and told what she knew in a calm manner.
Si Shuo listened to a series of melodramatic dramas, "So she really is your mother."
Shi Qingmiao: "What else?"
***
Inside the Fengluan Palace.
The Queen Mother was very excited to see an old friend, but she suppressed her excitement and asked a few questions. "Have you been staying in Simu Kingdom all these years? You didn't even come back to visit me. You left sixteen years ago, and Miao'er has grown up so much."
There was a hint of blame in her tone. Shi Ruwan smiled and said, "I'm back now. Thank you for helping me raise my daughter so well. If I had raised her myself, it wouldn't be like this!"
"Xiao Si is my son and the regent of Simu Kingdom. I came back to bring him back."
Shi Ruwan avoided the question about the Queen Mother. Because of Helan County, they had become somewhat unfamiliar with each other.
The Queen Mother was a little embarrassed because she had never known that Shi Ruwan was the wife of the Duke of Simu State. The Duke of Simu State's family had produced more than one marshal who led the attack on the Fuding State. She really wanted to ask Shi Ruwan how she could tolerate these people treating her hometown like this, but then she thought it was not easy for her as a woman there, so she didn't ask again.
