"Am I so unworthy of your trust?" There was an inexplicable sadness in Chu Ning'an's words. He seemed to understand why his mother resolutely chose to die.

"You're wrong. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have anything to do with you. If I didn't trust you, I could have stopped you from applying for the exam. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have allowed you to spend this life together... I'm just telling you my bottom line."

"Perhaps my mother felt the same way as you did back then, but she was unable to escape the cage of bondage, so she could only resolutely face death."

"Chu Ning'an, do you know? No one stipulates that marriages must last forever, but the feelings of two people cannot last for three people. Do you understand what I mean? I think if Madam Chu had divorced before that concubine came into the family, even if she was divorced, she might not have died in such a young age. Her love was too pure."

"Do you identify with my mother?"

"No, she's too selfish. To fulfill her own love, she left you, a newborn, alone in the world to suffer. How irresponsible! She arranged everything for you, but she was just trying to make up for her own mistakes. I still can't forgive her." She turned around and put her arms around his waist. "If you don't leave me, I will be with you through thick and thin."

Chu Ning'an's heart calmed down because of her words.

"It's getting late. I'll bring A Ling over to introduce him to you. Let's take him home together." Ru Yue got over her sad mood early.

"it is good."

In fact, both of them knew that this was just a formality, but they were both willing to go through with it.

Ru Yue walked about a hundred steps to bring A Ling out of the space, took his hand and walked in front of Chu Ning'an to introduce him to him.

Chu Ning'an looked at the child in front of him who was about the same age as Ruxue. His fair and tender face had a faint smile, and his snow-white millet teeth set off his pink lips, making people want to pinch them. However, his pair of smart big eyes had a calmness as if he could see through the world, which made people unable to harbor any malice.

This child has such a beautiful appearance, it's obvious that he couldn't be raised by an ordinary family. I'm afraid that even the claim that he's the direct descendant of a high-ranking official or marquis would be believed. How did Ru Yue know him? Did his family just let someone take him away?

"Hello, brother-in-law, I'm A Ling." The crisp words "brother-in-law" completely touched Chu Ning'an.

"Hello, Aling. I left in a hurry and didn't bring you any gifts. I'll make it up to you when I get home later." Then she took his hand and called Ruyue, "Let's go back. It's getting late. Didn't you say you'd cook something delicious today?"

The two of them held A Ling's hands, one on each side, and went down the mountain back to the Meng family mansion.

When the whole family saw Ru Yue and Chu Ning'an bringing back such a cute little boy, they were extremely happy, especially An Ping and Ru Xue. They were the youngest and were taken extra care of by the family. The child who came today looked similar to Ru Xue and was so well-behaved, so they fell in love with him at once.

Just as Chu Ning'an said, no servant would question the children brought back by the master's family. Anping and Ruxue were still young and would not suspect anything, so A Ling entered the Meng family naturally.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also the first day that A Ling has arrived. Ru Yue specially went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes that children like, such as soft and sweet osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, beautiful and delicious squirrel fish, sour and crispy sweet and sour pork... Most of them are sweet dishes. Mother Li and Nanny Qin also cooked their own specialties, hoping to have a happy and prosperous Mid-Autumn Festival in this new home.

Ru Yue thought that if everyone in the family were counted together, there would only be about ten people, and it would be more lively if everyone sat at the same table to eat. However, Nanny Qin refused to agree. "Miss, I am grateful for your kindness to us, but we cannot be ignorant of the limits and break the rules."

Finally, two tables were set up in the main hall. Ru Yue's family and A Ling sat together, and the rest of the servants sat at one table. They were all in the same room and it was quite lively. The master and servants all enjoyed the meal.

It was the first time that A Ling stepped out of the space and had a meal with real people. He had mixed feelings. He had experienced countless years and seen a lot of worldly things and human nature. He could tell that these people really loved him, especially his sister. She had never treated him as a slave or a pet. Even the emperor had never treated him like that when he was alive. He was very satisfied now. He must be good to his sister's family, and especially to his sister.

August was just halfway through, and Ru Yue took the opportunity to pay the servants in the house a full month's wages, which was also a celebration of Mid-Autumn Festival. These servants had long known that the girl was generous, and today's actions made them even more determined to work loyally for the girl.
