Chapter 469 Recognizing the Ancestor and Returning to the Clan

"Brother Mo, I always feel like you have something to say to me." Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong have known each other for so long that she could naturally see that he was hesitant to speak.

Mo Jinghong held Wen Qingcheng's shoulders and gently pushed her onto the chair. "Sit down first. I have something to tell you. You just came back this afternoon, and I saw that you were tired, so I didn't tell you."

Wen Qingcheng nodded and looked over curiously. Mo Jinghong's expression suddenly became serious, "During the time you were in the palace, I sent someone to pick up Aunt, Zicheng, and Xue'er."

Wen Qingcheng was overjoyed after hearing this, "Ah? Mother and Zicheng are coming. When will they arrive?" After Wen Qingcheng was happy, she always felt that this happened so suddenly. Mo Jinghong wanted to bring her whole family here.

"Is this the surprise you arranged for me?" Wen Qingcheng asked with a smile, tilting her head.

Mo Jinghong still had a gloomy face. Wen Qingcheng began to feel that something was wrong. She gradually stopped smiling and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?"

Mo Jinghong didn't intend to hide it from her, so he talked about what happened a few days ago, "It's been ten days since Yunpeng sent me a letter saying that his house was burned down."

"What?! Who did it!" Wen Qingcheng's heart sank and she jumped up from her chair in an instant.

"Don't get excited, everyone is fine." Mo Jinghong told Wen Qingcheng in detail.

After the Dali Temple acquitted Wen Qingcheng, Wang Bozhen took away Wang Yunxi's body and kept it in the He Mansion for one night. It was finally buried in the He family's ancestral tomb. After a while, Yunpeng received news that his family had been assassinated. There were several masked men in black, all of whom were highly skilled in martial arts. Yunpeng discovered it in time and fought with them. Then he saw that the house was on fire. Yunpeng dealt with a few of them and hurried back to put out the fire. Fortunately, Ye Xiuying woke up in time, so there were no casualties. Soon, the neighbors came, but the fire was too big, so the fire was put out and the house was burned down.

Wen Qingcheng's heart was in her throat as she listened to Mo Jinghong's story. Fortunately, Ye Xiuying and the others were all fine. "So, you suspect that Wang Bozhen hired someone to do it? I didn't kill Wang Yunxi, and Yuchuan has already been executed. Why would he come to take revenge on my family?"

"I just have this suspicion. I sent Mo Ya and Hei Ying to pick up my aunt and the others, leaving Yun Peng to continue the investigation. If it's Wang Bozhen, it's easy to deal with him. What I'm worried about is the unknown enemy hiding in the dark."

"Unknown enemy? Brother Mo, is there anyone you suspect?"

"Cheng'er, don't worry about this matter. As long as the family is fine, I will take care of the rest. Get a good sleep tonight, dress up beautifully tomorrow, and go to the Marquis' Mansion to listen to the decree."

Wen Qingcheng nodded. Fortunately, her family was safe. After taking them to Kyoto, they were all out of danger.

The next morning, Mo Jinghong's carriage was waiting at the door of Wen Qingcheng's house. Wen Qingcheng took Bai Wei and Zhu Ling to the Marquis' Mansion.

Wen Liang had been waiting at the gate of the mansion early. As soon as he entered the gate, he saw maids and servants standing neatly in the yard. When they saw Wen Qingcheng coming in, they shouted in unison, "Welcome home, Miss."

Wen Qingcheng greeted everyone with a smile, and asked Bai Wei and Zhu Ling to give everyone a welcome gift. Wen Liang led Wen Qingcheng and the others into the ancestral hall of the Marquis's mansion. In the ancestral hall, the old lady, Princess Pingning, Ye Jinqian, and the elders of the Ye family of the Marquis's mansion were all there.

Wen Liang solemnly introduced Wen Qingcheng to everyone. Wen Qingcheng held incense and worshipped the ancestors of the Ye family. Wen Liang introduced everyone one by one. Princess Pingning looked virtuous, but Ye Jinqian couldn't hide her feelings and stared at Wen Qingcheng with contempt.

She never expected that the lowly female doctor, a country bumpkin, would actually become the daughter of a marquisate. Originally, she was the eldest daughter, but when this country bumpkin came, she became the eldest daughter of the marquisate because of her age, and she became the second daughter overnight.

Wen Liang and an elder in the clan wrote down Wen Qingcheng's name in the family tree, but now that she has returned to her ancestral home, she changed her name to Ye Qingcheng.

"Qingqing, come and pay your respects to your grandmother." Wen Liang took Wen Qingcheng by the hand and came to the old lady.

Wen Qingcheng bowed and saluted: "Grandmother."

"Ah, my good granddaughter." The old lady smiled and took Wen Qingcheng's hand, then looked back at her personal maid, Mingyue, who immediately came forward with a brocade box. The old lady took out a string of jasper beads from the box and hung them around Wen Qingcheng's neck.

Wen Liang said in panic: "Mother, this is your dowry, it is too valuable."

"Qingcheng is my good granddaughter. I can't bring these things with me when I am born, and I can't take them with me when I die. If I don't give them to my granddaughter, who can I give them to?"

"Qingqing, go and thank your grandmother quickly." Wen Liang gently pushed Wen Qingcheng and said.

"Thank you, grandma. I will treasure it well." Wen Qingcheng held up the jade necklace around her neck with a look of joy on her face.

Afterwards, Wen Liang asked Wen Qingcheng to meet several elders in the clan and gave them some gifts.

"Qingcheng, we are really destined to be together. I felt close to you from the first moment I saw you. It turns out we are a family. Your father is really something. Why didn't he tell you earlier? He caused you to suffer so much outside. People who don't know would think that I, your mistress, am intolerant." Princess Pingning held Wen Qingcheng's hand and said affectionately, looking virtuous.

Princess Pingning suppressed her disgust for Wen Qingcheng in her heart. Her mother, Princess Liyang, said that it was His Majesty who personally said that Wen Qingcheng should return to her ancestral home. She had no way of objecting and could only endure it temporarily and not let others say that she, as the mistress, was not treating her well.

"Qingqing, it's time to call me mother." Wen Liang said.

Princess Pingning was the wife of the Marquis's mansion and the legal mother. According to etiquette, Wen Qingcheng should call her mother. Although Wen Qingcheng was a little embarrassed to call her that, she didn't want to embarrass Wen Liang in front of so many people, so she called her "Mother" obediently.

"What a good child! I'll have the maids and servants prepare a courtyard for you, and you can move in."

"Mother, your intention is good. I shouldn't refuse. But I already have a house outside. Besides, He's job is now going. It's closer to He's house. So I won't live in the mansion anymore. I will come to visit you often in the future."

"You are the daughter of a marquis now, so don't go to work as a pharmacist in the He family. There is no shortage of food and clothing in the marquis's mansion, so you don't have to work. Which lady from a noble family would go out to work?" Princess Pingning said.

"Thank you for your kindness, mother. I am a senior pharmacist appointed by His Majesty. The He family is an imperial merchant. I also serve the royal family and am loyal to His Majesty."

Speaking of His Majesty, the servant came to report that the imperial edict had arrived. The Ye clan members in the ancestral hall went out one after another to kneel and receive the imperial edict.

The one who delivered the imperial edict was Eunuch Zheng. Wen Liang knelt in the front, followed closely by Wen Qingcheng and Mo Jinghong. Bai Wei and Zhu Ling quietly knelt at the back, and everyone in the Marquis' Mansion listened to the imperial edict in silence.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: Ye Qingcheng has done a great service in saving Princess Yanyue and relieving my worries. I hereby confer the title of Princess Qingping on Ye Qingcheng as a reward. I decree this."
