When I opened the gate, I heard Zicheng crying. Zicheng found himself alone at home when he woke up. Now his mother, elder sister and a strange man came in together, and he stopped crying immediately.

When Wen Liang saw his son whom he had been missing day and night, his eyes were filled with tears again, but his throat could not make a sound. He had grown a lot taller.

Zicheng looked at him with some strangeness. He was already able to remember things when he left, but slowly he had forgotten his face. However, he still thought of his father from time to time, especially when other children were being hugged by their fathers.

At this moment, Ye Xiuying's mind was completely on Wen Qingcheng, and she didn't care about her son. She reached out and pushed him on the back, and the family went into the house.

Chuyi laid Wen Qingcheng flat on the bed. Wen Qingcheng moved her body with difficulty and stuffed a pillow between her chest and abdomen. This way she would be more comfortable, but the injury on her back caused her to feel excruciating pain whenever she moved.

Wen Qingcheng gritted her teeth and persisted. Ye Xiuying gently took off her clothes, and Chuyi turned around and went out of the room.

Wen Liang was concerned about his daughter's injury, but after all, his daughter was grown up, and it would be inconvenient for him to go in. He could only wait anxiously outside the door and ordered his entourage outside to call a doctor.

Ye Xiuying looked at the red and swollen scars on her daughter's fair back, some of which were already bleeding, and her heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife.

"Mom, don't worry, it doesn't hurt, it's just a little hot, go get some cold water and wipe it off for me."

After sending Ye Xiuying away, Wen Qingcheng searched in the space. Fortunately, she had stockpiled a lot of disinfectants during the apocalypse, so she took out a bag of wet cotton balls.

As soon as Ye Xiuying went out, she saw Chuyi and Wen Liangzheng looking worried. "Aying, how is your daughter?"

"Her back is covered with scars, but she insists it doesn't hurt. She is just being stubborn." Ye Xiuying felt a little sour in her nose.

Wen Liang felt even more heartbroken after hearing this. Didn't he understand his own daughter? She had always been weak and fragile, but now she was supporting the family with her frail body. Her strength was so heartbreaking that it made him feel distressed.

Wen Qingcheng asked Ye Xiuying to disinfect her body with a cotton ball, and took a blood-activating and blood-stasis-removing pill while drinking water.

Wen Liang's followers rode to the town to invite a doctor, who checked Wen Qingcheng's injuries. "You are so lucky, my girl, you didn't break any bones, just skin and flesh. I left you an external ointment, keep applying it, and it will be fine after a period of recuperation."

At noon, Ye Xiuying steamed egg custard for Wen Qingcheng alone. Chuyi ate a few bites and then went to Wen Qingcheng's room to feed her personally.

Zicheng is not very close to Wen Liang now, and he looks at him timidly. He hurriedly eats a few mouthfuls of rice, picks up Xiao Hei and goes to Wen Qingcheng's house.

After lunch, only Wen Liang and Ye Xiuying were left there. Ye Xiuying would still cry when her eyes met his.

Wen Liang walked over and gently wiped away the tears from her eyes. He stretched out his arms and embraced Ye Xiuying. Smelling the familiar scent on him, Ye Xiuying's grievances surged into her heart like a tide, and tears could not stop flowing.

"Since you are still alive, why don't you come back earlier?" He said this while crying.

Wen Liang stroked Ye Xiuying's hair gently, knowing that she must have suffered a lot of grievances, otherwise she would not have moved out alone with her children.

"Aying, it's my fault. I should have come back to see you earlier."

"Husband, I don't blame you. As long as you are safe, I just miss you too much."

Wen Liang felt his wife's deep affection. How could he not miss them? "I miss you too, every day."

At this moment, they really met, feeling each other's hot breath, reunited after a long separation, and could no longer suppress their emotions. They kissed her lips, the fusion and collision of soul and body, venting their longing for each other.

Not until the surging passion subsided and Ye Xiuying lay in Wen Liang's arms did she remember to ask him what happened after she fell into the water and how she suddenly became a marquis.

It turned out that after Wen Liang fell into the water, he was washed downstream by the current and was rescued by a passing large boat. The boat owner saw that he looked nine points like the Marquis of Wu'an in the capital, so he took him back to the capital and settled him on a farm.

After an identity investigation and a blood test, it was confirmed that he was the biological son of Marquis Wu'an, and he was then taken to the Marquis's mansion.

At that time, Wen Liang had a high fever and was in a coma for nearly half a month before he woke up. When he woke up, he found himself in the Marquis's mansion, and the Marquis told him that he was actually the only son of Marquis Wu'an.

Hearing this, Ye Xiuying covered her mouth in surprise. She already knew that Wen Liang was not Old Lady Wen's biological son, and she thought he was an abandoned baby. After all, many people who fled famine back then abandoned their children when they could not afford to raise them, leaving them to fend for themselves. She did not expect that her husband had such a great background.

"My husband, since you are the only son of the Marquis, how come you were picked up by our father?"

Wen Liang looked into the distance and recounted what happened that year as if he was telling a story.

At that time, the Marquis's wife had been suppressing the concubines in the Marquis's mansion, and would never allow them to give birth to a eldest son. She also secretly disposed of many children without the Marquis's knowledge.

Wen Liang's biological mother was one of the concubines. She kept her pregnancy a secret until her belly became bigger and she could no longer hide it. The wife found out. She was given a chronic poison to drink, which was nominally a medicine to preserve the pregnancy. After being informed by a kind-hearted old nanny in the mansion, Wen Liang's biological mother escaped from the mansion while going to the temple to burn incense in order to save her life. She hid on a cargo ship and traveled all the way to Qinghe County by begging for food.

However, due to long-term use of chronic poisons, Wen Liang's biological mother had always been in poor health. After giving birth to Wen Liang, her body was exhausted. Before her death, she entrusted the child to a peddler who traveled the streets.

When Ye Xiuying heard this, she felt like she was listening to a story. Even a play could not describe such a tortuous story.

"Husband, actually when we separated, my eldest sister-in-law let it slip, and mother also admitted it herself. Dad brought you home. Mother still thinks you are his illegitimate child. Maybe because of this, she treated you badly since you were a child."

"That's why I was wondering why it was useless for me to be so filial and try so hard to please her. By the way, why did you split up the family? Did they drive you out after I left?"

"These things are long stories, I will tell you slowly later. Tell me quickly, when your biological mother ran away, did no one from the Marquis' Mansion come to look for her?"

Seeing that Ye Xiuying was full of questions, Wen Liang continued to talk about what happened that year.

After the Marquis's Mansion discovered that the concubine had escaped, the Marquis did not care because his wife had concealed the fact that the concubine was pregnant. Until now, his wife has not been pregnant. The Marquis has grown old but has no children.

If there were no biological children, the only way to inherit the title was to adopt a child from the royal family. The wife later came to her senses and realized that she had killed too many children, which led to the consequence of being childless. In her later years, she sincerely worshipped Buddha and confessed to the Marquis what had happened. The Marquis was extremely happy to know that he still had his own flesh and blood in this world, and he wanted to find them back, regardless of whether they were boys or girls.
