It was none other than the old patriarch Hong of the Shangguan family and another slightly younger old man, Shangguan Qing, who had just taken over the position of patriarch.

Chief Hong was nearly eighty years old and gave up his position to Chief Qing.

He is currently the oldest man in the Shangguan family and has the highest prestige.

An Yi followed behind.

It was obvious that An Yi had invited him.

"Your Highness, why did you invite us here?" Patriarch Hong asked the reason as soon as he came in.

"Please take a seat, both clan leaders." The prince pointed to the guest seat. "Please take a seat, both clan leaders. I wish to adopt Shangguan Ru into my family. From now on, she will be the eldest daughter of my Rong Palace. Therefore, I have asked you two to come as witnesses."

Of course, the two clan leaders also knew about Shangguan Ru's situation, and they looked at Shangguan Ru with sympathy.

"Your Highness, this is a very good idea." Patriarch Hong strongly agreed with the prince's move.

After hearing what the prince said, Zhong Weiliang finally understood the purpose of the prince and princess's visit, and he finally felt relieved.

"What does Miss Ru mean?" Qingzu looked at Shangguan Ru who had just wiped away her tears and got up from the ground.

"Being able to be recognized by my uncle is a blessing that Ru'er has earned in several lifetimes." Shangguan Ru was of course willing.

In this world, only her uncle's family treats her as a relative.

In the past, she always thought that she and her daughter would depend on each other for the rest of their lives.

Her daughter was her only relative, and she didn't expect that someone would be willing to marry her. Her sister-in-law persuaded her.

She will have her own home in the future.

Today, she never expected that her uncle would come in person to adopt her into the eldest house.

She couldn't bear to push away this family affection no matter what.

"Good, that's great." The head of the Qing clan was pleased to see this happen. "In that case, bring in the tea today. Later, I will change your name in the family tree to the direct branch of the Rong Palace."

The prince and princess sat in the main seats, and Shangguan Ru knelt respectfully in front of them.

The maid brought warm tea and Shangguan Ru took it gently.

"Father, please have some tea."

The prince took it naturally, took a sip, and then took out a life card from his arms and gave it to her.

This is unique to the direct descendants of Prince Rong's Mansion.

Shangguan Ru took it respectfully and was so excited that she was about to cry again.

But she knew that this was not the time to cry, and she forced the tears back.

He picked up another cup of tea and knelt before the princess.

"Mother, please have some tea."

"Okay, okay." The princess took it with a smile and took a sip.

Then he took out a gift from his arms, a fine gold and jade bracelet, and put it on her on the spot.

Shangguan Ru took two steps back, bowed down, and kowtowed several times.

"Your daughter, Shangguan Ru, pays respects to my father, the king, and my mother, the consort. I will definitely be filial to them and live in their care."

"Okay." The prince acknowledged his daughter with just one simple word.

The next day.

The princess sent the housekeeper Li to bring people to help Shangguan Ru move.

Xiao Yue'er came to the palace again and ran into the main courtyard happily.

When she came home from school yesterday, her mother told her that they were going to move back to the palace. She was so happy that she wanted to move in last night.

She really likes playing with Dabao and the others.

Ever since she moved out of the palace, she no longer had any playmates.

No one wanted to play with her even when she went to school.

Everyone excluded her, and some even privately said that she was a fatherless child and an unlucky person.

But she didn't dare tell her mother what happened in school, for she was afraid that her mother would be sad.

So I go there happily every day and come back happily.

She never let her mother know what was on her mind, and as long as she listened carefully to the teacher's lectures and learned something, it didn't matter if she had no friends.

But when she rushed into the main courtyard, she didn't see her three favorite friends.

Only my aunt is here.

But she was not disappointed.

"Auntie." Xiao Yueer called out politely when she saw little Mengyao.

But little Mengyao, who was only four years old, no longer remembered her.

"Sister, this is Xiao Yue'er, Sister Ru's daughter. She played with you when you were very young." Yu Yuanzheng introduced her to her younger sister.

Yu Yuanzheng did not leave the house today, and waited at home for Shangguan Ru and her daughter to move back.

Yu Yuanzheng took Xiao Yue'er's hand and put it in Xiaomei's hand.

"Come, let's get to know each other again. You'll be a family from now on, so get along well with each other."

Xiao Mengyao looked at the two people's clasped hands curiously.

"Xiao Yue'er, come on, play with me with building blocks." The little princess happily pulled her new friend to play together.

Last night, her mother had told her several times that starting today, she would have a big sister. And the big sister would bring a little niece to play with her.

She kept waiting.

The two little guys immediately became friendly.

At this time, Shangguan Ru, who was lagging behind, walked in.

"Sister-in-law." Shangguan Ru squatted down shyly.

"I'm glad you're back. Mother is waiting for you in the side hall." Yu Yuanzheng took Shangguan Ru's hand and walked in.

Shangguan Ru returned to the palace again, but the feeling was completely different.

This time when she came back, there was no one here who had hurt her, and no one who wanted to hurt her.

Only those who love her.

The courtyard that the princess arranged for her happened to be the courtyard where Concubine Luo used to live.

The princess knew that although she did not have deep feelings for her mother, she had given Ru'er some warmth before she died.

Otherwise, Ru'er would not have observed mourning for her for three years.

And Ru'er always remembered that little bit of warmth, which shows how kind she was.

From that day on, Shangguan Ru followed the princess every day, learning how to manage the household, how to handle household chores, how to manage servants, how to manage her dowry, how to entertain guests, and how to interact with people.

Sometimes when the princess goes out, she will take her with her.

Everyone in Beijing knew that Shangguan Ru was adopted by the prince and became his legitimate daughter.

No one ever mentioned her divorce again.

When they learned that the former top scholar, Lord Zhong, had been waiting to marry her, some people became envious.

Yu Yuanzheng also started his own business.

I went back to my parents' home first.

I've been away for a few months, and I guess my mother has been worried about me for a few months.

Shangguan Ziqi chose to take his family to Yu Mansion in the afternoon.

As soon as they arrived, one or two carriages came from the other direction.

"Big sister." It was Yu Yueyin and his wife.

The two of them heard that the eldest sister was going back to her parents' home today, so they naturally wanted to come back and get together.

"Little sister. What a coincidence?" Yu Yuanzheng got off the carriage and smiled at her sister whom she hadn't seen for several months.

"What a coincidence! We came back on purpose." Yu Yueyin pretended to jump off the carriage.

As a result, he was forcibly stopped by Yue Zhengxing.

"Slow down."

Yu Yueyin glared at him angrily, but still slowed down and got off the carriage with the help of Yue Zhengxing.

Yu Yuanzheng knew something was wrong at first glance.

"What's wrong? Is my sister pregnant?"

"Sister is indeed a miracle doctor. She guessed the diagnosis before even taking my pulse." Yue Zhengxing shared the news happily.

"Haha, congratulations to you." Yu Yuanzheng also stepped forward to support her sister.

The two families entered the Yong'an Earl's Mansion together.

The whole family is enjoying themselves.

We had dinner with lots of laughter and conversation.

"Sister, there are so many treasures in the national treasury this time. You don't know that the emperor has been very generous these days. As long as the request is not too excessive, he will approve it." Yu Qingsheng said excitedly.

"Doesn't he look like a nouveau riche?" Yu Yuanzheng imagined how the emperor might behave at the morning court.

"What is a nouveau riche?" Zhao Yuejiao had never heard of this term.

"It means someone who gains considerable wealth in a short period of time." Yu Yuanzheng explained with a smile.

"Oh, haha. Big sister, actually you want to say that the emperor has lost his previous calmness and wisdom, right?" Yue Zhengxing interrupted.

"Who said that? I didn't mean that. Be careful, the Emperor will reprimand you if he finds out you described him that way."

"Sister, I heard that the emperor wants to return all your money to you. Is that true?" Yue Zhengxing was very concerned about this.
