Prince Yu's Mansion
The morning sun slowly came. It was time for dinner, but Sina didn't come out. Luo Lan asked in surprise:
"A Cai, have you called the Second Miss?"
Ah Cai nodded heavily, "I called her, but she said she wasn't feeling well and didn't want to eat anymore."
Hearing that she was not feeling well, Xiaoling stood up nervously.
"I'll go see if this girl has grown horns."
Liu Dechang beside her hurriedly pulled her to sit down again.
"Don't disturb her. Send the food back to her room and let her sleep for a while."
"But……"
"But what? She used to be wild. She must be unhappy to be kept in the mansion for such a long time. This is all my fault. I will find a chance to explain this to the emperor later."
Hearing him say this, Leng Yu frowned and shook his head.
"We shouldn't rush this matter. The Emperor has long been suspicious of me for releasing the Chu people. If he knew there were still Chu people in the palace, and that they were Lan'er's mother and sister, he would definitely not let my mother-in-law and Xina off easily. We should discuss this matter after we have come up with a foolproof plan."
Liu Dechang slammed the table in frustration and roared angrily:
"Humph! This is outrageous! I'm the dignified Protector General of Daning State, yet I can't even protect my own wife and children. If others knew about this, they would definitely laugh their heads off."
Seeing this, Xiaoling hurriedly tugged at his clothes and gently persuaded him:
"Dechang, don't get excited. This matter didn't develop overnight, and it won't be resolved in a day. I faked my death in the beginning, and now people know that I'm from Chu. If the emperor charges me with deceiving the emperor, it's possible that not only you will be implicated, but Yu'er and Lan'er will also be implicated. So listen to Yu'er and Lan'er on this matter. Don't be impatient, take your time."
Xiaoling's words gradually softened Liu Dechang's expression. He sat down again, picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip of water. The moment he put the cup down, he nodded.
"Okay, I can bear this for now, but don't worry, I won't bear it for too long. I will definitely take you and your daughter back to the Duke's Mansion in a grand manner."
Xiaoling looked at him and nodded gratefully. "Dechang, I'm content with what you said. Actually, it's pretty good now. Not only do I have two daughters by my side, but I also have three lovely grandchildren. I can see you often too. Compared to my previous life, it's already very good. You don't have to blame yourself or worry. I still want to be with my three lovely grandchildren forever."
The three children sat on the other side of the table, listening quietly to Xiaoling's words.
When they heard their grandmother mention them, Huaiyu was the first to nod confidently.
"Don't worry, Grandpa. We will definitely accompany Grandma well and will never let her feel lonely."
An An also grinned and said seriously:
"Well, Mom was busy before and didn't have time to play with us. Since Grandma and Auntie came, we are so happy. Grandpa, please don't be in a hurry to take Grandma and Auntie away."
Lele blinked her big eyes and nodded continuously.
"My brother and sister are right. We all like playing with grandma. We don't want grandma and aunt to leave us."
The words of these three children made Xiaoling smile immediately, and Liu Dechang grinned and laughed.
After laughing, he said to Leng Ming and Luo Lan:
"Then, during this period, let your mother and Xina continue to stay in the palace. After the storm has died down, I will mention this matter to the emperor. I believe that the emperor will also consider my Liu Dechang's contributions to the Daning Kingdom and show him special favor."
Leng Yu's eyes flashed deep, and he nodded heavily.
"This is Lan'er's home, and naturally also the home of my mother-in-law and Xina. General Liu, please don't be polite."
Hearing how he addressed Liu Dechang, Xiaoling frowned helplessly.
"Why are you still calling him General Liu? Shouldn't you call him Daddy like Lan'er?"
Seeing that his mother was blaming Leng Yu for the way Leng Yu addressed his father, Luo Lan was busy explaining.
"Mom, he's been calling Dad General Liu for years, and it's hard for him to change all at once. Give him some time to slowly change."
Liu Dechang just smiled and waved his hands.
"No need to change it. Calling him General Liu is fine. If he calls me dad, I won't be used to it."
Xiao Ling then said, "I see. I thought the Emperor's son couldn't call Master Yue Zhang his father. It seems I was overthinking it."
Liu Dechang patted Xiaoling on the shoulder and comforted her softly:
"Xiaoling, you're really overthinking this. No matter what Yu'er calls me, he's my good son-in-law. No one can deny that."
"I didn't deny it. I just thought the way he addressed you was a little strange. For example, he hasn't called me mom yet."
Seeing that she changed the subject and mentioned herself directly, Leng Yu looked at Luo Lan awkwardly. Luo Lan shrugged helplessly at him and buried her head in eating, pretending not to see it.
Leng Yu cleared his throat and tried to call his mother-in-law "Mom", but after trying several times, he still didn't open his mouth.
Seeing this, Liu Dechang hurriedly said:
"Everyone, stop chatting and eat quickly, or the food will get cold soon."
Luo Lan also greeted:
"Yes, let's eat quickly. Dad and my husband have to go to the military camp soon."
Xiaoling didn't dwell on this matter anymore. She just said it casually and didn't care too much about the title.
Luo Lan said to A Cai before picking up his chopsticks:
"Tell the kitchen to cook a bowl of vegetable noodles for the second young lady. It should be a little lighter in taste, and she might be able to eat it."
