Qingyun's Love: Tiger Boy Falls in Love with a Pretty Lawyer

As the carriage moved forward, the scenery became increasingly beautiful as we moved closer to the mountains. Flowers, trees, and ponds intertwined, creating a charming scene reminiscent of "green waves amidst a riot of flowers." It felt as if we had entered the Jiangnan region.

When we reached the foot of the mountain, we dismounted from the carriage. Looking up, we saw towering peaks, one after another. A sea of ​​emerald green filled the air. Wisps of white clouds lingered around the mountainside.

Walking up the stone steps, there are endless pedestrians along the way. Most of them come here to play and pay homage to the Taoist temple.

Ranmo and Qingsheng climbed all the way up, soon becoming breathless. Even Qingsheng, a man of excellent physical fitness, didn't often climb mountains. He had boasted at the foot of the mountain that if Ranmo couldn't climb anymore, he would carry her up the mountain. Now, he wasn't much better than Ranmo.

Porters passed by from time to time. Even with heavy loads, they walked briskly. There were also some elderly men who seemed to be locals and frequented the area, their steps moving with a breeze.

Qingsheng couldn't help but give them a thumbs-up. Ranmo and he rested for a while on the large rocks on both sides before continuing forward.

From the foot of the mountain, I saw towering cliffs and peaks. Now, as I entered, the winding paths and paths were filled with lush greenery. The air was even fresher and more refreshing. There were also several platforms for resting and strolling. After this hike, I didn't feel as tired as before.

As we moved up the mountainside, the crowds began to thin out, save for the occasional sightseeing swarm. Truly, the higher we climbed, the more breathtaking the scenery became. Not only was the scenery even more breathtakingly beautiful, but monkeys would occasionally pop out from the surrounding fields. Their golden fur would cling to branches and rocks, their poses eclectic.

Qingsheng rarely saw monkeys, so he excitedly tried to play with them. Ranmo, fearing they were naughty, quickly stopped him. Sure enough, the young man approached the monkey, only to be attacked and bitten, and his hat snatched away. The surrounding people were frightened and fled.

We walked and stopped, admiring the monkeys. We ate some dry food and fruit along the way. Then, we climbed to the summit, where we gazed out over the picturesque Cangshan Mountain, a feeling of dominance over all the other mountains.

Not far ahead, some eaves and corners of houses gradually appeared among the green trees.

As we approached, a grand and majestic temple appeared before our eyes. Its main structure was gray, accented with red and yellow, creating an ethereal aura. At the end of the steps was the main gate, with a plaque inscribed with the powerful characters "Miaofeng Temple."

Pilgrims frequently entered and exited the temple, leaving it peaceful and tranquil. Though Miaofeng Temple was located in the west, it inherited the legacy of Taoism from the Central Plains. It had a large following and was renowned far and wide.

After Ranmo and Qingsheng entered the house, they went to find the Taoist priest who was guarding the house and asked him about Ranmo's mother. The Taoist priest heard about it and said he knew about it. He then led them to the backyard.

Ranmo was incredibly excited, thinking about seeing his mother. The man took them around twice, but they didn't see his mother. The Taoist then let them have some tea and rest for a while.

The two sat in the house for a while, then wandered into the courtyard to admire the scenery. The trees were lush and green, creating a cool and pleasant place. It felt like a paradise. Ranmo thought to himself, "My mother really knows how to find a place."

The two were wandering around the courtyard, watching what was happening. Suddenly, they heard a friendly voice calling from above: "Is that Mo'er and Sheng'er?"

Ranmo looked up and saw his mother sitting on a large, leafy tree in front of him. The two of them were stunned.

As Ran Mo was about to agree, his mother had already slid down the tree trunk slowly, holding onto it with ease. Her body was agile and her movement was as smooth as that of a boy who loved climbing trees.

Ranmo only knew that her mother had learned Monkey Fist and Praying Mantis Fist from her grandfather when she was little, but she had no idea that she could actually climb trees. She herself struggled to climb a pole at school.

After my mother came down from the tree, she didn't rush to speak. Instead, she performed some martial arts moves similar to those of the monkey, and only stood still after stretching.

Qingsheng clapped his hands and praised: "Auntie is really good at fighting!"

Her mother smiled and waved her hand. Ran Mo ran to her mother, hugged her and acted like a spoiled child. Her mother also caressed her and asked why she had come so far. She would be back in a few days.

Ranmo looked at Qingsheng. Qingsheng bowed and said, "Aunt, please forgive me for disturbing you. I really need your guidance this time."

Mother looked at him and sighed slightly. She told the two of them to follow her back to her room to discuss things. The two of them exchanged a glance and followed their mother to a wing room.

The room was clean and elegant, lit with incense. Ranmo chatted with his mother about recent events. Then he briefly explained the reason for Qingsheng's visit.

My mother's face darkened slightly, and she simply said that what was meant to come had finally come. Perhaps it was also a matter of fate.

She looked at Qingsheng and said slowly: "When I first saw you, I felt that I had some affinity with you. When I heard that you were from Dayue City, I was even more attracted to you. But I felt that everything was in the past and it was better not to mention it. But as a child, you miss your mother and you can't help it." Her tone was a little depressed.

Qingsheng's eyes turned red and he asked anxiously, "Excuse me, auntie, is my mother okay now? Where is she? Why did she leave Sheng'er so early?" He was already in tears after he finished speaking.

Ran Mo was also a little heartbroken watching from the side. He patted Qing Sheng's arm to comfort him.

Mother was silent for a moment, then looked up at Qing Sheng and said, "Your mother had her own reasons. Her greatest wish is for you to grow up healthy." After a pause, she added, "Your mother was originally a Hu Ji."

Qingsheng and the other two were stunned upon hearing this. Ranmo thought, no wonder Qingsheng looked a bit alien. He just didn't know the identity and background of this Hu Ji.

Seeing that the two were silent, the mother continued, "Your mother was a talented singer and dancer. When she was visiting the Great Yue Kingdom with the diplomatic corps, your father immediately took a liking to her. They fell in love and eventually became pregnant. This is not uncommon in the Great Yue Kingdom; it is not uncommon for princes and nobles to be attracted to Hu women."

"It's strange that something terrible happened afterwards, forcing the two of them to part with tears, and they had no choice but to leave you behind, which led to a situation where mother and son couldn't recognize each other for more than ten years." Speaking of this, the mother couldn't help but sigh and wiped away tears.

Qingsheng was like a wooden man, and asked blankly, "Then where is my mother now?"

Mother calmed herself down and said, "She's abroad." Without waiting for Qingsheng to ask, she continued, "That's exactly what makes this difficult. The two countries are currently at odds, and normal channels simply can't reach them."

Qingsheng put away his sorrowful expression and said sternly, "Since they are an enemy country, I will ask for your order to lead the troops to attack! As long as I can see my mother, I will not refuse even a death."

His mother breathed a sigh of relief, looked at him with loving eyes and said, "My child, I understand that you miss your mother so much, but leading an army to fight is not a private matter. If you want to see your mother again, I'm afraid you will have to wait for an opportunity."

Qingsheng knew this was no easy task, and thinking of what his mother had just said, he asked, "What is this important matter that Auntie is talking about?"

Hearing this question, the mother's face changed, and she said to Qingsheng: "This matter involves the secrets of the powerful and noble in the palace, so don't ask about it." Seeing that Qingsheng still wanted to ask again, she said sternly,

"You grew up in a noble family in the capital, and you've been influenced by them. Don't you know how strict the imperial laws are? If you casually pry into and reveal things you shouldn't ask about, you'll be arrested and beaten with a stick at the very least, or your property will be confiscated and your head will be cut off at the worst."

Qingsheng and Ranmo hadn't anticipated the magnitude of this matter. Qingsheng naturally knew the rules and regulations involved, and Ranmo winked at him, urging him to hold off on any further questions.

Mother calmed down and said, "I'm a little tired too. I need some quiet time. You can go to the valley in the east and explore. It's also a scenic spot."

Ranmo and Qingsheng looked at each other, bowed to their mother and said goodbye, then went out and headed towards the valley.

Qingsheng was still pondering what his mother had just said. Ranmo, noticing that he looked a little down, consoled him, "You've gained something today, and your mother is doing well. We'll meet again sooner or later."

Seeing that Qingsheng didn't say anything, she wanted to tease him, so she said, "It turns out that you also have Hu blood, no wonder you look so handsome. People say that Erzhuanzi (mixed-race people) are good-looking and distinctive, and it's true." As she said that, she looked at him with admiration.

Qingsheng glanced at her. Although he was happy that she praised him, he couldn't get excited at the moment. He turned to ask her, "You just said there are some. Could it be that there are mixed-blood people around you?"

Ran Mo was stunned. She couldn't help but think of Wei Hua. Fortunately, she was quick-witted and casually mentioned another person. "Yes, it's my classmate Azan. You saw him at the entrance of the academy last time. He walked home with me after school."

Qingsheng thought about it briefly and had some impression of him. He said, "No wonder he looked like a foreigner when I saw him that day." Suddenly, he glanced at Ranmo and said, "You and he seem to have a good relationship."

Ran Mo choked a little. Why is it happening again? Children's faces really change so often. Just now he was sobbing, and now his thoughts are elsewhere.
