Ye Ling'er never expected that her mother was actually Feng Cailan, the great general of Laifeng Kingdom.
Daddy once told her that Mommy was busy defending the country and protecting the people of Laifeng, and she had no time to come back to see her. Ye Linger believed it.
Now, after suddenly knowing who her mother was, Ye Ling'er was happy. However, when she learned that her mother only wanted her and not her father, Ye Ling'er felt wronged and sad.
Since she was born, she has always depended on her father for everything. Therefore, if she could only choose one between her mother and father, then she would naturally choose her father without hesitation.
"Ling'er only wants her own father!" Ye Ling'er stood in front of Lian Xing, tilted her head back, pouted her lips, and looked at Feng Cailan with a firm face.
Feng Cailan stood up from her seat, squatted in front of Ye Ling'er, and said to her at eye level, "Ling'er, I know you have deep feelings for your father, and I also know that it has not been easy for him to raise you alone all these years. Don't worry, I will give him a large sum of money, enough for him to live comfortably for the rest of his life. After all, you are the blood of the Feng family, and you should recognize your ancestors and return to your roots."
Ye Ling'er thought for a moment and asked, "Will you take Dad back with you?"
Feng Cailan's heart skipped a beat when she heard this. She quickly glanced at Lian Xing, then immediately looked away.
However, she didn't directly answer Ye Ling'er's question. Instead, she said in a different way, "Ling'er, if you follow your father, he will be very tired. If you can return to the General's Mansion, your father will be able to live a life of ease and comfort from now on. He won't have to work so hard to make money, and he won't be bullied..."
"No, General, Ling'er has never been a burden to Lianxing. She is the most important person in Lianxing's life and the meaning of Lianxing's efforts." Lianxing leaned over and hugged Ye Ling'er, unable to help but burst into tears.
Seeing her father crying, Ye Ling'er immediately hugged Lian Xing's neck, hung her whole body on him, and said in a baby voice: "Daddy, be good, Daddy, don't cry! Ling'er only wants Daddy, and doesn't want Mom anymore!"
"Ling'er..." Lian Xing suddenly stopped crying and looked at her daughter in disbelief.
After all, in the past, Ye Ling'er had always dreamed of having a mother...
Although Lian Xing had considered whether to marry a woman who would be good to her daughter and give Ling'er a complete family, Lian Xing, who had long seen through the fickleness of human nature, could not find a reason to marry.
Because, rather than betting your fate on a woman, it is more reliable to rely on your own efforts.
"Young Master! Young Master!"
At this moment, Xiaochun's voice was heard at the door of Junyanfang. Returning with him were the new prefect of Yuheng County - 18-year-old Situ Wanqing, and a group of yamen runners.
Situ Wanqing, who had just taken office for a few days and had just finished the handover work at the county government office, met Xiaochun who came to complain.
When Lianxing was still in the capital, she and Xiaochun often went to the Ciyu Bureau in the city to help. This Ciyu Bureau was established by Situ Xuanye, the brother of Situ Wanqing. Naturally, she knew Lianxing and Xiaochun.
So, when Situ Wanqing heard that Lianxing was being bullied, she immediately decided to go and see for herself. Unexpectedly, by the time Situ Wanqing arrived at Junyanfang, the troublemakers had already dispersed. And, even more surprising, she saw General Feng Cailan there.
"Take good care of her. We'll discuss this matter another day." Feng Cailan glanced at Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er, nodded slightly to Situ Wanqing, and then stood up from her seat and prepared to leave.
"Mom!" Just as Feng Cailan walked to the gate, Ye Ling'er's baby voice came from behind her.
Feng Cailan looked back and saw Ye Ling'er, who was held in Lianxing's arms, staring at her with her big, black eyes. "This is the first time Ling'er has called you mother, but it may also be the last time. Because Ling'er will never be separated from her father. So... General, please return to the capital!"
After saying that, Ye Ling'er hugged Lian Xing's neck and burst into tears. The sound was so clear and loud that it seemed to shake the roof down.
"Ling'er..." Feng Cailan looked at Lian Xing and Ye Ling'er with a complicated expression, then turned and left.
However, after leaving Junyanfang, when Feng Cailan was riding on horseback and leading her troops towards Youzhou, her mind was full of Ye Linger's crying appearance, which made her extremely upset.
Qiao Chu, standing by, hesitated several times to speak, but ultimately remained silent. After all, this was General Feng's private matter, and as a deputy general, she couldn't get involved in other people's family affairs.
At the same time, Situ Wanqing waved away the yamen runners and asked them to guard the door of the shop.
"Greetings, His Excellency the County Magistrate!" Lian Xing brought Ye Ling'er and bowed respectfully to Situ Wanqing.
Situ Wanqing waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite.
"Lianxing, could it be that... this is the reason why you suddenly transferred the store and left the capital?" Situ Wanqing really didn't expect that she would encounter such a big melon in her own jurisdiction.
Lian Xing smiled bitterly. He looked at Situ Wanqing and choked up, "Does the County Magistrate also think that Lian Xing should hand Ling Er over to the General so that Ling Er can have a better life and future..."
Situ Wanqing shook her head. "It's said that it's better to follow a beggar father than to be the wife of an official. If you can only choose one, then listen to the child."
Having said that, she gently stroked Ye Ling'er's head, smiled and asked softly, "Isn't that right, Ling'er?"
Ye Ling'er stared at the beautiful woman in front of her with her big, watery eyes and nodded vigorously, "Big sister, why don't you be Ling'er's mother..."
