Yan Nanbai was also trembling all over. He stretched out his arms and hugged Qi Leyang tightly.

Several months of arduous journey and extremely great anxiety and worry all turned into a tight hug at this moment.

His heart was full and satisfied.

His world was complete.

Yan Shaorun's eyes were also filled with tears. He pulled Yan Shaoze and walked forward to hug Yan Nanbai's thighs.

The longing for his father and the joy of reunion made him ignore the complex and strong stench on Yan Nanbai's body.

Yan Nanbai bowed slightly and hugged them in his arms, "Run'er, Ze'er..."

Yan Shaorun finally couldn't help it. He pursed his lips and burst into tears: "Daddy, where have you been? When you were not at home, grandparents, uncles, aunts, and aunts all bullied mom. They wanted to separate mom and me and send my brother and me to others. Woo woo...Daddy, I thought you had married a new wife and wanted to have a baby with another woman and didn't want us anymore. Woo woo..."

Hearing his son say this, Yan Nanbai's heart was broken and he couldn't control his tears.

Hatred towards parents and brothers also reached its peak.

He touched Yan Shaorun's little head and choked up, "Daddy didn't abandon you. Your grandfather knocked Daddy unconscious and sent him to the southern border. Daddy escaped back to find you. When he arrived at the gate of the imperial capital, he heard that you were going to Qinghe County, so Daddy chased you all the way here. How could Daddy bear to abandon you? Remember, unless Daddy dies, Daddy will never abandon you."

"Yes, Daddy, I knew that Daddy would not abandon us, wuwu... I am not a child without a father, I have a father," Yan Shaorun cried so hard that his shoulders kept shaking.

Yan Shaoze also pursed his lips, his face full of grievance. The onlookers saw this scene and probably knew what was going on.

How can it not be touching when a husband and wife reunite, when a father and son meet again?

Those who are soft-hearted also have tears in their eyes.

Lingzhi, Grandma Wu and Xiao Lingxin were all wiping their tears with handkerchiefs.

Even Shu Mingzong and Xiao Yueshi had tears in their eyes.

Qi Yuanxiu's angry fists slowly loosened.

Since Yan Nanbai did not abandon his wife and children, he would not beat him.

Gu Qinghuai looked at the crowd of onlookers around, walked up to Qi Leyang and whispered: "Sister Leyang, your family has just reunited, why don't we stay in Lizhou City for another day, so we can find an inn and let your brother-in-law take a hot bath, have a hot meal, and have a good rest. Anyway, we are not in a hurry to travel."

Only then did Qi Leyang raise his head from Yan Nanbai's "flavorful" arms.

She wiped her tears and hurriedly introduced Yan Nanbai, "Nanbai, this is Xiao Huai, Xiao Huai, this is Master Yan..."

"Mr. Yan?" Yan Nanbai's heart sank and he looked at Qi Leyang in disbelief.

Qi Leyang looked away.

Although the unexpected reunion made her extremely happy, she had already divorced Yan Nanbai.

Moreover, she didn't know what Yan Nanbai was thinking at this moment. If he couldn't bear to leave that family, his parents, brothers and sisters, then they... still couldn't be together.

After all, although she would never take revenge on the Yan family in this life, she would not forgive them either.

Gu Qinghuai looked at the slightly awkward expressions of the two and immediately said, "Sister Leyang, brother-in-law, this is not the place to talk, let's go back to the inn."

"Okay," Qi Leyang sniffed.

Yan Nanbai also nodded politely.

Although he had too many questions in his mind, now was not the time to ask them. He was very weak and really needed a good meal, a bath and a good rest, otherwise, he was afraid that he would not live until tomorrow.

Qi Leyang then introduced Grandma Wu, Xiao Lingxin, Zhao Wang, Qi Yuanxiu, Shu Mingzong and Xiao Yueshi one by one.

When entering the city, Shu Mingzong and Xiao Yueshi stepped forward and told the soldiers guarding the city that Yan Nanbai was their lost family member, and took out two ten-liang silver ingots and quietly stuffed them into the soldiers' hands.

A look of surprise flashed in the soldier's eyes, and he immediately waved his hand, asking Yan Nanbai to go into the city with them.

The donkey cart was also taken aboard.

Yan Nanbai was so hungry that he could hardly stand. When he arrived at the inn, Qi Leyang immediately asked the waiter to bring him minced meat porridge and vegetable buns.

Yan Nanbai ate voraciously, tears streaming down his face as he ate.

He hasn't had a normal meal for several months. In the past, when he was in Yan's house, he didn't even look down on the simple rice porridge and vegetable buns, but now he thinks these are simply the most delicious food in the world.

The huge sense of satisfaction and happiness made him cry uncontrollably.

"You've been hungry for too long. Don't eat too much. Increase your food intake slowly later." Qi Leyang took the last bun.

Yan Nanbai chuckled sheepishly.

After dinner, Qi Leyang asked the waiter to bring a large bathtub and hot water.

"Le Yang, I... I will wash myself. I... I am too dirty and smelly. I am afraid that I will stink you. You should go to the county lady's room first to take shelter." Yan Nanbai scratched his messy hair embarrassedly.

In fact, he was afraid that Qi Leyang would see the injuries on his body and that she would be sad.

Qi Leyang took the cloth, pointed to the bathtub, and said generously: "Although you and I have divorced, you are weak now and need someone to take care of you. Only I am the most suitable. Besides, I have a lot to say to you. We can talk while I help you bathe. Take off your clothes and get in the bathtub."

Yan Nanbai had no choice but to take off his clothes slowly.

The moment he saw his body, Qi Leyang was shocked and tears instantly burst out.

Yan Nanbai was skinny as a stick. His tall body was so thin that only skin was left. His shoulder blades, ribs, hip bones and kneecaps were all clearly visible.

In addition to being extremely thin, his body was covered with scars of all sizes, and the soles of his feet were ulcerated, red and swollen with thick calluses.

Yan Nanbai's eyes were red. He reached out and gently wiped Qi Leyang's tears. He coaxed her softly, "Don't cry, Yangyang. I don't feel bitter. These days, I have been thinking about you and the children all the way. I feel very happy, really."

Qi Leyang raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and said in a nasal voice: "Go into the bathtub and soak in it. I will use the soap Xiao Huai gave you to wash you. It won't hurt your skin."

"Okay," Yan Nanbai sat in the bathtub, looking at Qi Leyang tenderly. While bathing Yan Nanbai, Qi Leyang told Yan Nanbai everything that the Yan family had done to her and the two children after Yan Nanbai left, as well as everything that Xiao Huai and Prince Yi had done to rescue her and the children from the Yan family.

Yan Nanbai's fingers holding the bathtub gradually turned white, and his sunken eyes were filled with sadness and anger.

It turned out that this was the true face of his family, snobbish and heartless, they would associate with those who were useful to them and abandon those who were not.

Le Yang is her first wife, Run'er and Ze'er are his biological sons and grandsons, how could they bear it!

He felt ashamed to have such a father and brother, and he blamed himself for not being able to protect his wife and children.

This will never happen again. He must stand up, make himself strong, and never leave the fate of his wife and children to others.
