"Is mother doing well these years?"

Yan Jingshuo felt that it was unnecessary to ask such questions. If she was fine, she wouldn't be like this now.

If he hadn't met Chu Xi, and she hadn't helped him to detoxify, he probably wouldn't be much better.

The pain that gnaws at your bones is heart-wrenching.

"It's good... it's good to be alive."

Shangguan Yun began to cry again, she turned her head and wiped her tears helplessly.

"Shuo'er, I heard from my aunt that your poison has been cured. Is this true?"

Shangguan Yun is most concerned about this issue, because the person she feels most sorry for in her life is Yan Jingshuo. He has been suffering from the Fire Cloud Poison since he was born, and he is lucky to grow up safely. I don’t know how much suffering and hardship he has endured to grow up to where he is today.

"It's true, and it was Xier who helped me solve it." Yan Jingshuo nodded.

"Shuo'er, is the Xi'er you mentioned Miss Chu?"

"Yes"

"Does Shuoer know her other identity?"

Shangguan Yun looked into Yan Jingshuo's eyes and asked with a serious expression.

"Yeah. I know."

Yan Jingshuo hummed lightly, then frowned slightly. He didn't understand why his mother suddenly asked this?

"Her mother is the second prince of the royal family who just came in, and the Xi'er you mentioned is the future heir of Yunyuan Continent."

"Mother, what do you want to tell me?"

Shangguan Yun wanted to explain her thoughts in one breath, but when she looked at her son whom she hadn't seen for many years, her face was not very good. She felt that it was too hasty to say these things now, so she changed the subject and said with a smile: "No, mother just thought you didn't understand, so I said one more word."

"I knew this a long time ago, please don't worry too much."

Yan Jingshuo only thought that Shangguan Yun was concerned about him and thought that he was not clear about the situation in Yunyuan Continent.

"Okay... I was overthinking. Shuo'er, how did you come to Yunyuan Continent?"

Shangguan Yun quickly calmed down and began to slowly talk with Yan Jingshuo about many things that had happened over the years.

The sleeping Chu Xi was taken back to the palace by Huang Junwan.

Inside the carriage, Huang Junwan looked at Chu Xi leaning in Nangong Yu's arms, her expression slightly embarrassed.

"Young man, what's your name?"

Huang Junwan looked at Nangong Yu and spoke to him with a smile.

"Nangong Yu"

Nangong Yu, who is usually fearless, suddenly felt a little nervous. The person sitting opposite him turned out to be Xiao Xixi's mother. Was this the rhythm of an ugly daughter-in-law meeting her parents?

Of course he wasn't ugly...just nervous.

"Nangong? Are you from the South?"

Huang Junwan was surprised at what her daughter had been through, wondering how she could even know people from the Southern Kingdom’s royal family.

"Yes"

"Excuse me for asking, but do you know Yi Yue Haotian, the head of the Yi Yue clan?"

Huang Junwan looked at the similar face and finally couldn't help but ask.

“Hmm” Nangong Yu nodded slightly.

"So what is your relationship with him?"

"Technically, he is my father, but we haven't recognized each other yet."

Nangong Yu spoke without reservation and told Huang Junwan about his relationship with Yi Yue Haotian. Huang Junwan would know it sooner or later anyway, so he couldn't keep it secret for long.

I might as well leave a good impression in front of Xiao Xixi's parents, and maybe it will help both me and Xiao Xixi.

"Why?"

Huang Junwan's eyelids twitched slightly, and she felt that things were not that simple.

"He doesn't know the relationship between him and me yet."

When Nangong Yu said this, his expression was a little gloomy.

Yi Yue Haotian didn't notice my existence for such a long time. You can imagine how little he cares about me.

I must have been just an unexpected existence to him, and he didn't want to acknowledge the blood relationship between them at all.

"So that's how it is. Patriarch Yi Yue is a bit careless. I don't know what happened between you two. But child, it's not your fault." Huang Junwan comforted.

"Thank you...for your understanding."

Huang Junwan's words "It's not your fault" almost broke Nangong Yu's defense. Yes, he did nothing wrong, but he suffered so much for no reason.

"What is your relationship with our Xi'er?"

Huang Junwan looked at Nangong Yu with kindness. Yan Jingshuo was so confident in handing his daughter to him, so there must be something special between them.

In fact, Huang Junwan had already guessed about 70% of it in her heart, but she still wanted to hear them admit it in person.

"Just as my aunt saw, Xier and I were willing." Nangong Yu looked straight into Huang Junwan's eyes and admitted it openly.

"Haha... kid, you are really honest."

Huang Junwan didn't expect Nangong Yu to be so straightforward. Instead, her daughter hesitated for a long time and didn't dare to tell the truth.

"You will know sooner or later. There is no point in hiding it." Nangong Yu glanced at Chu Xi in his arms, and his expression softened instantly.

"So what are your plans? Are you planning to stay with our Xi'er forever?"

Huang Junwan saw Nangong Yu's actions and she could tell that the boy in front of her was serious about his daughter.

"Why not? As long as she doesn't leave me, I won't abandon her." Nangong Yu said in a firm tone.

"But our Xier is already engaged, and you have met the man she is engaged to, so you still..." Huang Junwan spoke word by word.

"I know. I don't mind. As long as she doesn't say no, I won't leave."

Nangong Yu spoke in a humble tone, admitting that he was not as good as Yan Jingshuo, did not have his status and financial resources, and his martial arts were not as good as his.

But he really loves her... She is the only one he has.

Nangong Yu pondered for a while, then looked at Huang Junwan sincerely: "So... please help me, aunt."

"I know...but the decision is not in my hands. You don't have to look at me like that, kid. But I will unconditionally support any decision Xier makes."

"Yes……"

Nangong Yu lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms, wondering what he was thinking.

"Child, I think you should already know Xi'er's current identity?"

Huang Junwan looked at Nangong Yu who lowered his head and spoke slowly, word by word.

"Yes, I know a little bit."

"In that case, you don't have to worry too much, just let it go."

"This……"

Nangong Yu realized something instantly. Xiao Xixi's current identity was special. Did that mean that she could...

Thinking of this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he looked at Huang Junwan with an expression full of gratitude.

The problem that had troubled him for so many days was finally solved.

No wonder the popsicle was not as angry with him as before, it turned out that he had figured it out a long time ago.

"Xi'er has just come here from Tianming Continent. She doesn't know much about the situation in the dynasty yet, and her foundation is too shallow. Her future will be difficult, so auntie will have to rely on you to protect her."

Huang Junwan's words were suggestive, and Nangong Yu immediately understood what she meant.

"Yes, I will definitely protect her."

Nangong Yu reached out and lifted a strand of black hair from Chu Xi's face, his eyes full of determination.

He knew that Chu Xi had been accommodating and taking care of him all along, and now it was time for him to do something for her.
