"Situ Wanqing?"
Feng Cailan looked in the direction of the voice and couldn't help but feel a hint of surprise. She looked at the woman who was gradually approaching the gate of Junyanfang with a little curiosity.
She was wearing a simple long dress, the hem of which danced in the wind, making her look as graceful as a fairy. Her hair bun was fixed with a green jade hairpin, and a few strands of hair fell on both sides of her cheeks, adding a touch of gentle beauty.
As the distance closed, the visitor's fair, delicate skin and picturesque features became increasingly clear. A faint smile played on her lips, like a spring breeze, bringing a sense of comfort. She walked with a light, steady gait, exuding a composure that belied a woman of seventeen or eighteen. Every gesture exuded a calm and composed aura.
In a moment, Situ Wanqing stepped into the Junyanfang and bowed to Feng Cailan with an elegant and graceful gesture: "General Feng, how are you?"
Feng Cailan nodded slightly, a hint of confusion flashing in her deep eyes. She shifted her gaze suspiciously between Situ Wanqing and Lianxing for a while, then said, "So it's Wanqing. Why are you here instead of handling official business at the county government office?"
Situ Wanqing smiled faintly and responded calmly: "General Feng, see what you said. Today happens to be my day off, and this Junyanfang is open for business. Naturally, I came here to buy something."
She paused slightly and continued, "To be honest, my father recently sent a letter home and a box of special products from the capital. I was just wondering what gift to give him in return, and then I thought, wouldn't this beauty cream from Junyanfang be just right?"
Feng Cailan nodded at first, then asked doubtfully, "If that's the case, why are you obstructing me from buying your things and me accepting my concubine?"
Hearing this, Situ Wanqing's heart tightened at first, but she quickly calmed down and said, "Because the person in front of you is not Ye Lianxing, but Ye Liangchen, and Ye Liangchen... he is my fiancé."
As Situ Wanqing finished speaking, Feng Cailan couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth, Lian Xing was stunned, and Ye Ling'er's eyes were shining.
"Beautiful sister, are you serious? Are you really willing to be Ling'er's mother?" Ye Ling'er hugged Situ Wanqing's legs, tilted her head, and looked at her expectantly.
"Ling'er..." Feng Cailan felt a pang of sadness in her heart when she saw this scene.
Ten days ago, Ling'er had cried and begged her to help her find her mother. Could something have happened in just ten days that she didn't know about? Why was Ling'er so affectionate towards Situ Wanqing? Feng Cailan couldn't help but wonder.
Situ Wanqing glanced at the pale-faced Feng Cailan and the stunned Lian Xing, her lips curled slightly. She then squatted down, picked up Ye Ling'er, kissed her cheek, and said, "Of course. Have I ever lied to Ling'er?"
Ye Ling'er shook her head and said happily, "No, Big Sister came whenever she promised to accompany Ling'er. She never breaks her promise."
Then, Ye Ling'er, who was held by Situ Wanqing, turned her head to look at Lianxing, waved her hands at him, and said happily: "Daddy, this is great, Ling'er has a mother! Ling'er has a mother! If Fatty dares to scold Ling'er for having a father but no mother to raise her again, Ling'er will let mother beat her!"
After saying that, Ye Ling'er clenched her two little fists tightly, revealing a fierce look.
Hearing Ye Ling'er's innocent words, Situ Wanqing felt a slight pang of pain in her heart. She caressed Ye Ling'er's head lovingly and said, "Don't worry, Ling'er. Mother is the governor of Yuheng County. Mother is the most powerful here. With mother here, no one will dare to bully you and your father anymore. Otherwise, mother will send people to arrest them and put them in jail, okay?"
"Okay~" Ye Ling'er said excitedly, hugging Situ Wanqing's neck, and then kissed her on the face, making her face covered with saliva. However, Situ Wanqing didn't mind at all, and instead felt extremely warmed.
It's true that Situ Wanqing has a crush on Lianxing, and it's also true that she loves Ye Ling'er. She's also very happy to have Ye Ling'er's approval, because this means she's not far from winning Lianxing over...
Feng Cailan and Lian Xing, who were standing by, were stunned to see that one of them called herself "mother" and the other also called her "mother".
Lian Xing looked at Situ Wanqing, who was interacting intimately with Ye Ling'er, with a complicated expression on her face, and said, "Your Excellency, Liangchen is very grateful for your kindness, but..."
Having said this, Lian Xing clenched his fists slightly under his wide sleeves, and then his gaze fell on Ye Ling'er. Recalling his past, he lowered his head in shame, and the light in his bright eyes suddenly dimmed. Then he raised his head again and said to Situ Wanqing: "My Lord, Lian Xing is no longer innocent and is not a good match for you, so..."
Seeing Lianxing hesitate to speak, Feng Cailan beside her immediately echoed, "Situ Wanqing, Lianxing is right. And you also know Lianxing's past identity. Imagine your picky father finding out you want to marry a man who's been a prostitute and has a child. Do you think he'd be so angry he'd vomit blood?"
"In my opinion, for the sake of your father's health, you should not get involved in this matter. Besides, your ages are not compatible. Lianxing is three years older than you..."
Before Situ Wanqing could answer Feng Cailan's question, Ye Ling'er, who was in her arms, asked curiously, "Mother, what does it mean to be not chaste, not a good match, and fallen into prostitution?"
Situ Wanqing looked at Lian Xing, who looked so ashamed and dejected, with a distressed look on her face. She then rubbed Ye Ling'er's head and said to her gently, "Ling'er, no matter what your father did in the past, that's all in the past. The most important thing is that your father loves you very much, right?"
