Super rare beast girl, run away! The emperor's uncle is coming!

Half an hour later, Qu Qingchen returned to the courtyard with a few packets of herbs.

In the room, Baiguo was cleaning Mo Liyang's wound, while Qu Jingyao was sitting on the kang and chatting with Yue Niang.

From Yue Niang, we learned that she was also a miserable person, and was the daughter of a scholar. She and her husband were rescued by his father when they were in trouble, and she had been recuperating in her home. Over time, the two of them fell in love and got married with the witness of their parents.

My husband is alone, his parents are both dead, and he has a brother who is living away from home, but there has been no news of him for all these years.

The husband Yue Niang mentioned was a smart and talented man. After marrying her, he often went out to do business in order to support her and to find out about his brother. In this way, the days passed peacefully and calmly.

Her parents were in poor health to begin with, and they fell ill and died shortly after her first child was born. Her parents were devastated, thinking that they had not taken good care of their child and felt guilty. Over time, their health deteriorated and they passed away one after another.

Many years later, she gave birth to twin brothers. Her husband went out to do business two years ago, but he never came back this time. She heard from her fellow villagers that her husband had been to Ruyang City, so she brought her children to look for him.

"Well, do you plan to continue looking for your husband?"

After hearing this, Qu Jingyao asked about Yue Niang, only to see that her originally pretty face now had a hint of sadness between her eyebrows.

"Mom, don't be sad. Even if you can't find Dad, you still have us two brothers."

Mo Lichen took Yue Niang's arm and comforted her.

Yue Niang sighed, forcing a faint smile. "Search? Where to search? It's not easy! My dear, we are grateful to you for saving us, and Chen'er has also promised you, so we will keep our promise."

Qu Jingyao frowned, and before she could say anything else, she heard her brother's voice coming from outside.

"Sister, I got the medicine back."

She stood up, lifted the curtain and looked at her brother standing outside, then took the medicine from his hand and gave it to Baiguo.

"Brother, is there anything else?" Seeing her brother hesitate to speak, she asked.

Qu Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and finally told her the whole story.

Qu Qingchen, who should have returned long ago, did not find the doctor in the village. He heard that the doctor was invited out of the village. When Master Hou and his group left the village, they were attacked by a pack of wild wolves that suddenly came down the mountain.

The strange thing is that those yamen runners were only slightly injured, but Master Hou was not so lucky. The wolves frightened the carriage, and when Master Hou rolled off the carriage, he was trampled by the frightened horses and his legs were broken.

"I heard the scene was quite tragic, and the ginseng he had collected earlier was trampled by the frightened horse, destroying its medicinal properties."

When Qu Qingchen was telling this story, his eyes were unconsciously filled with a hint of pleasure.

"Puchi, this retribution comes just in time." Bai Guo, who was bandaging Mo Liyang's wound, laughed sarcastically. It seemed that it was a good thing for him that Master Hou could not show off his arrogance for the time being.

Qu Jingyao lowered her eyes and smiled. Mo Lichen frowned and asked, "Is that man displeased to the young lady, or has he offended the young lady? I can help the young lady get revenge!"

Yue Niang's face darkened. Seeing her son's somewhat presumptuous questioning, she began to cough anxiously.

Bai Guo stood there, looking down at Mo Lichen, who was only as tall as her chest, and chuckled as she reached out and touched his forehead.

"Heh... If my master wants revenge, he won't need a little kid like you."

After Bai Guo finished speaking, Qu Jingyao put her hand to her lips and chuckled, but Mo Lichen was very unconvinced and tilted his head to look at Bai Guo.

Yue Niang reminded him not to be presumptuous, so he stood aside with a pout.

Qu Jingyao asked Baiguo to clean up and dispose of the bloody clothes that Mo Liyang took off, and take one of his brother's clothes first.

Yue Niang thanked Qu Jingyao and spoke in a hurry, with a slight breath in her chest.

Qu Jingyao asked her to take care of herself first and live in this room first, and to wait until she recovered before doing anything else.

When Baiguo was trying to pick up the bloody clothes, a jade pendant fell out from it, making a crisp "ding" sound and rolled to the ground.

She picked it up casually, frowning and wondering how this family could have such a good quality jade pendant. She thought... wait!

"Master, look!" Bai Guo handed the jade pendant to Qu Jingyao with a look of shock in his eyes.

This made Yue Niang and her son, who were standing by, feel a pang of anxiety in their hearts and a look of doubt in their eyes.

"This jade pendant is..."

Yue Niang was about to ask if there was anything wrong with the jade pendant when she heard Qu Jingyao frowning and asking her where the jade pendant came from.

"Ah? This belongs to my husband. He left it to the two children when they were born. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Yue Niang looked at Qu Jingyao's changing expression and asked cautiously.

She once again asked Yue Niang if she knew her husband's identity and why he had this jade pendant?

Mo Lichen stood beside his mother, and the mother and son looked at each other. Then Yue Niang fell into memories. Her husband said that he had carried the jade pendant with him since he was a child, and both brothers had one.

"You wait."

Qu Jingyao turned and walked towards the main house next door. Under the puzzled gazes of several aunts, she dug out the jade pendant she had taken back from Old Lady Xu.

Liu asked her if there was anything wrong, Qu Jingyao smiled:

"It's okay, Mom, you guys go ahead and do your work."

She turned around and walked out of the room with a serious face.

Yue Niang hugged her son nervously. When she saw Qu Jingyao walk in, she opened her mouth but didn't dare to ask.

Qu Jingyao stood in front of the mother and son, and spread out her palm. The jade pendant that suddenly appeared inside shocked Yue Niang!

"This! Where did this come from? How did you get..."

Qu Jingyao sighed, then slowly sat down on the edge of the kang, looking at the jade pendant in her hand, and murmured, "Do you think this is exactly the same as yours?"

Yue Niang slowly stood up, released her son from her arms, and walked forward to ask cautiously:

"Miss, can I take a look at your jade pendant?"

Qu Jingyao nodded and handed the jade pendant in her hand to her.

Yue Niang took it with trembling hands and turned it behind the jade pendant. She fumbled around in the corner and her eyes instantly turned red.

She asked in a trembling voice if the owner of the jade pendant was still there.

"To be honest, this belonged to my father, but he is no longer with us."

"He's gone!" Yue Niang couldn't help but step back and repeat Qu Jingyao's words in a trembling voice.

Qu Jingyao and Bai Guo exchanged a glance, then stared quietly at Yue Niang's sad face, only to hear her muttering to herself in self-mockery:

"I didn't expect that my husband and I would meet the relative he had been looking for for so many years, but you brothers..."

Listening to Yue Niang's words, Qu Jingyao frowned and asked aloud the doubt in her heart: "How can you be sure that my father and your husband are brothers?"

Yue Niang wiped her tears with her sleeve, then picked up the two jade beads and showed them to Qu Jingyao.
