Each person was carrying something she had never seen before, strange and unusual, mostly rare treasures.
An incense burner meticulously carved from a single piece of purple jade, a fist-sized luminous pearl, various gemstones, flawless jade, and so on—the list goes on and on.
I thought the things in my spatial storage were already pretty good, but I didn't expect that what Yun Yue brought was no worse than what she had in her space.
Cheng Qingyan suddenly looked at her mother with new respect; her mother in this life was wealthy.
Unexpectedly, this woman is worth even more!
Indeed, there is only the richest, not the richest.
Yun Yue beckoned over a person carrying a pearl the size of an egg and introduced it to Cheng Qingyan and the others, saying, "This is a pearl that the Li Kingdom presented as tribute a hundred years ago. It was bestowed upon Prince Ning by the late emperor. It is said to have grown for tens of thousands of years, and it is the only pearl in the world this large."
"I saw it was gathering dust in the storeroom, so I brought it over to give to you to play with~"
This shocked Cheng Qingyan for a hundred years. In the technological age a thousand years later, she had never seen a fake pearl this big.
This supposedly tens of thousands of years old pearl suddenly gave her the urge to cut it open and see if it was solid inside.
Even without looking at anything else, this one pearl alone must be priceless, right?
How come Yun Yue is so rich?
Did she just mention the late emperor, Prince Ning?
Cheng Qingyan looked for Ye Lingyu, but unexpectedly, Ye Lingyu was looking at her.
Her gaze was slightly complicated; she saw the unease in Ye Lingyu's eyes.
She handed Jiangjiang, who was in her arms, to Yunyue: "Mother, please take Jiangjiang to play first and see what she likes."
Yun Yue reached out and took Jiang Jiang from her, then said to the servants standing in a row, "Take everything inside, then you can go back."
As for where they will go back, they have their own plans.
Yun Yue, carrying Jiang Jiang, walked into the house. It was time for her, as the grandmother, to make a good impression.
Meng Chuying was quite shocked that Cheng Qingyan had suddenly gained a mother after she had only gone out to play for a while.
When Jiang Jiang was carried away and waved to her, she realized that this was real.
She quietly moved to Ruan Banxia's side and asked softly, "Master, what exactly happened?"
How could someone who has always lived in Mengjia Village have such a wealthy and young mother?
Moreover, it's common knowledge throughout Mengjia Village that Cheng Qingyan, Cheng Yuanfu, and Cheng Yuanji are brothers.
Cheng's father and mother passed away a few years ago. How come Cheng Qingyan suddenly has another mother?
Moreover, everyone seems to have accepted and tacitly agreed to it, and even Ye Lingyu did not raise any objections.
It seemed like her brain desperately needed to fill in some gaps in its knowledge; she couldn't understand what was going on.
Ruan Banxia whispered a few words to her, and she was so shocked that her mouth dropped open.
Looking at Cheng Qingyan in disbelief: "Brother Cheng, are you going to live in Kyoto?"
Cheng Qingyan had just touched Ye Lingyu's hand when she heard Meng Chuying ask her that question, and she didn't even realize it herself.
"Why are you suddenly asking this? Why would I want to live in Kyoto?"
Meng Chuying blinked: "But, isn't that lady your mother?"
"yes."
Meng Chuying's tone was somewhat urgent this time: "So, are you going back to Kyoto with her?"
Cheng Qingyan was confused: "Chu Ying, why are you asking that? And why should I go back to Kyoto with her?"
"But isn't she your mother? Now that you have a mother, shouldn't you live with her?"
Several pairs of eyes stared at her simultaneously. Cheng Qingyan smiled; so that's how it is.
Cheng Qingyan thought about how to explain to Meng Chuying that she understood what Meng Chuying meant.
“Living with one’s own mother was when I was a child, and people needed the care and protection of their parents.”
"When some people grow up, get married and have children, they will separate from their parents and will not live together forever."
"Whether or not to live together depends on the wishes of both people. No one can force them. Some people have a choice, while others do not."
"And I choose to follow my wife—wherever she goes, I will go."
Ye Lingyu tightened her grip on Cheng Qingyan's hand: "You can't try to shift the blame onto me, I'm not taking it!"
Cheng Qingyan scratched Ye Lingyu's palm as a return gift, and winked at Meng Chuying.
"My dear wife, I'm not trying to shirk responsibility. I could never leave you in this lifetime, so of course I'll go wherever you go."
"As for my mother, she has her own life. We can visit them occasionally, but we don't have to live together every day."
"Just like Chu Ying, after you grow up and start your own family, you will also leave me and your sister Ye to live your own life."
Upon hearing this, Meng Chuying hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, I don't want to leave you."
Since her parents passed away, the people who have been kindest to her are Cheng Qingyan and Ye Lingyu.
Now there are Ruan Banxia and Shen Ziyu, both of whom are very good to her.
How could she leave the person who has been with her and loved her for so many years for someone who hasn't even appeared yet?
Having experienced the warmth of companionship, how could one possibly want to return to the loneliness of being alone?
When Jiang Jiang was carried out of the house by Yun Yue, she heard Meng Chuying say "leave," but she hadn't heard what she said before that.
Struggling, he jumped off Yun Yue and ran towards Meng Chuying.
She buried her face in Meng Chuying's arms and said pitifully, "I won't leave, Sister Meng won't leave, Jiangjiang won't let me!"
As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes, her lips pursed, and teardrops clung to her eyelashes, as if they were about to fall at any moment.
Meng Chuying patted Jiang Jiang's back reassuringly: "Jiang Jiang, don't cry. Sister Meng won't leave. Nobody wants to leave. Be good, don't cry."
Jiang Jiang asked incredulously, "Really? Sister Meng, aren't you lying to Jiang Jiang?"
"You have to trust Sister Meng. Besides, when has Sister Meng ever lied to Jiang Jiang?"
Jiang Jiang blinked, and tears slid down her cheeks.
Her large, clear eyes darted back and forth between Cheng Qingyan and Ruan Banxia, seeking a definite answer from these people she trusted.
Cheng Qingyan rubbed Jiangjiang's head: "No one is leaving, and no one will leave Jiangjiang. Come on, wipe your face. You've cried so much, your Aunt Ruan will laugh at you."
Jiang Jiang snuggled closer to Meng Chuying and said in what she thought was a small voice, "Aunt Ruan is bad~"
Ruan Banxia was caught in the crossfire even though she was standing. When did she ever make fun of Jiang Jiang? That Cheng Qingyan is just trying to frame her!
She walked towards Jiangjiang with a beaming smile, reaching out to take him from Meng Chuying's arms: "Jiangjiang, be good, don't listen to your unreliable father's nonsense. Aunt Ruan won't laugh at you, she'll only love you dearly~ Come here, let Aunt Ruan give you a hug~"
