"Uncle, Ermao is very brave!"
Just when Cheng Minggui was surprised by Hua Qingcheng's words, a little girl who looked about six or seven years old and looked as delicate as a piece of jade suddenly walked towards him.
Behind her, there were two tall and strong men, one of whom was Hua Qingcheng's second husband in the past and now the Crown Princess's concubine Situ Xuanye.
"I am Cheng Minggui, a commoner, and I am here to pay my respects to Lord Situ!" When Cheng Minggui saw Situ Ye, he knelt down and kowtowed to him in a proper manner.
"Lian Xing...meetings to Lord Situ Ce!"
Looking at the dark figure coming slowly in front of her, the light in Lian Xing's charming eyes suddenly became brighter, like stars illuminated by the bright moon.
He still had that tall, straight figure, that cold, resolute face. The man who had come was the same man who had descended like a god one rainy night and rescued him from the clutches of a psychopathic murderer...
I haven't seen you for a few months. How are you, Second Brother Situ? Lian Xing silently greeted him in her heart... greeting the man who once saved her life.
"Get up!" Situ Ye raised his hand slightly to support the two of them.
One was a former villager from the same village, and the other was the savior of his fourth brother Yu Xiaotian. Situ Ye had no intention of making things difficult for them.
"Thank you, Mr. Situ Cejun." Lian Xing suppressed the excitement in her heart and slowly got up from the ground with Cheng Minggui.
"Little girl, what did you mean by what you said just now?" After Cheng Minggui got up from the ground, he immediately asked Tian Zheyi who had come first.
"Uncle, my name is Tianzheyi. Like my little brother Ermao, we were once trapped in the Xiangyang Temple on the northern outskirts of the city. Back then, when we were locked in the secret room under the big kitchen, it was thanks to Ermao's bravery that he escaped and asked Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to rescue us." Tianzheyi said with lingering fear.
"Really? Ermao...is he really that capable?" Cheng Minggui was very surprised when he heard that.
Is this little girl sure that she is talking about her son Ermao, who is a crybaby and always has two snotty noses hanging from his face?
"Ermao performed really well this time." Hua Qingcheng nodded slightly at Cheng Minggui.
"May I...may I ask Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess where Ermao is now? Can you let me bring him back?" Cheng Minggui said a little nervously.
"Cheng Minggui, Ermao is currently in my own courtyard in the city, with the children who were once trapped in the Xiangyang Taoist Temple."
Situ Ye's voice was very strong and powerful, and it inexplicably had the power to calm people's souls. After hearing his words, Cheng Minggui felt a little relieved.
"Thank you, Mr. Situ Ce. I wonder when Mingui can meet Ermao again?"
Facing Hua Qingcheng's once aloof husband, now the noble concubine and consort of the Crown Princess, Situ Xuanye, Cheng Mingui rubbed her sleeves, feeling slightly uneasy. The disparity in their status now made it impossible for Cheng Mingui to face Situ Ye with the same composure she once had.
"Cheng Minggui, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is having lunch now. Please go and wait aside. After she finishes lunch, I will personally accompany you to the villa in the city so that you and your son can be reunited." Situ Ye opened his lips slightly and spoke in a tone that was neither cold nor overly enthusiastic.
However, Situ Ye's words sounded like the sound of nature to Cheng Minggui. The heavy stone that had been hanging on Cheng Minggui's heart for a long time was finally lifted.
Therefore, Cheng Minggui was extremely grateful to Hua Qingcheng and Situ Ye, and then he knelt down and kowtowed to them again very devoutly.
"That's great, Brother Mingui. You can finally see your son Ermao!"
Lian Xing on the side smiled knowingly at Cheng Minggui, but out of the corner of his eye, he secretly glanced at Situ Ye's tall and majestic figure.
"Thank you, Mr. Lianxing. It's really thanks to you this time!" Cheng Minggui raised his hand and wiped his tears with his sleeve, feeling very grateful to Lianxing.
"There was once a master who told Lianxing to do good deeds, saying that blessings would always follow. Lianxing didn't care whether there were blessings or not, but she just couldn't bear to see a father who had lost his child suffer so much." Lianxing said with a leisurely look, not really caring.
Although Lian Xing did have selfish motives in helping Cheng Minggui, it did not prevent him from actually helping Cheng Minggui.
"Mr. Lianxing is indeed still as kind as ever!"
Just as Lian Xing sighed slightly, a resounding voice suddenly floated from the side. Lian Xing looked in the direction of the sound and immediately saw a figure who was as strong and sturdy as Situ Erge.
"Old...old monk?"
Although the man in front of him was wearing a blue Imperial College student uniform and a turban on his head, Lian Xing quickly recognized that he was the monk who had fainted from hunger and whom she had rescued on the street in Yunshui Town.
"Mr. Lianxing has a good memory!"
Wu Chen smiled at Lian Xing. He wanted to reach out and touch the twelve scars on his head, but then he remembered that he was studying at the Imperial College and was still wearing a turban on his head.
"Old monk, you are... could it be... could it be..."
Lian Xing looked at Wu Chen in confusion, and as if he thought of something, his charming eyes suddenly widened slightly.
At the beginning, Lianxing and Wuchen had a drink together at Jinghuayuan Snack Shop, and they were both sad because of their unrequited love.
Now, when Lian Xing saw this "old monk" accompanying Hua Qingcheng, an incredible understanding flashed through his mind.
Could it be that... the unfaithful woman that the "old monk" mentioned at the time was referring to Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess?
"Lianxing, Hua... Wuchen is the third prince of Zhaoyang Kingdom. Like Aye, he is now also the concubine of the princess of this palace." Hua Qingcheng looked at the surprised Lianxing and then spoke.
Although this handsome man in front of her had been a prostitute, he had a kind heart. He not only saved her fourth husband Yu Xiaotian, but also saved her sixth husband Wu Chen.
Hua Qingcheng's eyes softened as she looked at Lian Xing. She never liked owing favors to others, and she thought about repaying Lian Xing's kindness when she had the chance.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, Hua Qingcheng and Wu Chen returned to the Imperial College after lunch. And just as Situ Yeye had said, he personally took Cheng Mingui and Lianxing to the villa in the city.
A quarter of an hour later, Situ Ye and his party's carriage arrived at the gate of his villa in the city.
"Xia Qingyi, where is Ermao?" As soon as he entered the courtyard, Situ Ye asked Xia Qingyi, who was given the task of managing the children in the courtyard.
"Reporting to Mr. Situ Ce, Ermao just felt sleepy after lunch and has fallen asleep in the side room. Do you need Qingyi to wake him up?" Xia Qingyi reported truthfully.
"That's not necessary." Situ Ye glanced at Cheng Minggui, then continued, "Just take them directly to find Ermao."
"Yes, Situ Cejun!"
Soon, Xia Qingyi led Cheng Mingui and Lianxing to the room where Ermao slept.
"father?!"
After a while, Ermao woke up slowly from Cheng Minggui's arms and looked at him in shock.
