After they waited anxiously for a while, clear crying sounds were heard from the room.

Several people were shocked.

Jiang Ningwan hurried over, "Is it born? Where's Jinlan?"

The imperial physician and the doctor came out one after another, "Mother and daughter are safe!"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's heart finally settled down and she was overjoyed. "That's great!"

She looked at Li Shu, "Thank you very much, Miss Li!"

Li Shu smiled sheepishly, "I'm not really helping much, so you're welcome."

"Since the mother and daughter are safe, I won't bother them anymore."

Ling Chaowen quickly said, "Then I'll take you back."

Then Li Shu left.

Jiang Ningwan entered the room and wanted to see how Ling Jinlan was doing.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped into the room, I would see the figures I had just seen.

"Who are you?" she asked doubtfully.

The three of them turned their heads at the same time.

At that moment, Jiang Ningwan's whole body trembled and he suddenly froze.

At that moment she doubted her eyes.

The three people standing in front of her were all the most familiar and kind faces she had ever seen.

"mother……"

Jiang Ningwan shouted out this word in a daze.

Ling Yaoqin's eyes instantly turned red. She happily walked forward and hugged her, "Ning Wan!"

The warm hug made Jiang Ningwan burst into tears instantly. She felt like she was in a dream, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.

And standing in front of her were her uncle and aunt.

"How is this possible? Am I dreaming?" Jiang Ningwan felt unbelievable.

At this time, Qin Shuangchi walked in and said, "You are not dreaming."

Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked.

Ling Yaoqin held her hand, "This is not a dream, Ningwan, mother is still alive!"

"My uncle and aunt are still alive!"

Jiang Ningwan was so excited that she was speechless.

The same was true for Ling Jinlan on the bed, tears of joy never stopped.

"They're still alive."

Jiang Ningwan looked at Qin Shuangchi with blurred vision, "What on earth is going on?"

Ling Yaoqin said, "Let's talk somewhere else and let Jinlan have a good rest first."

Everyone left the room, leaving only Qin Huaizhao to accompany Ling Jinlan.

The others went to another room first and sat down to drink tea and warm themselves.

Waiting for Ling Chaowen to come back.

Not long after, Ling Chaowen came back after sending Li Shu away. When he saw the people in the room, he was so scared that he ran out of the room, rubbed his eyes, and ran back into the room.

"I...my eyes are not blurry! Are you...human or ghost?"

Ling Xiaoce stepped forward, pinched Ling Chaowen's face, and punched his chest. "You've grown taller and stronger, little brat!"

After Ling Chaowen was shocked, his eyes turned red. "Dad? Is it really you? Are you still alive?"

"That's not it!"

The next moment, Ling Chaowen hugged Ling Xiaoce, his voice choked with sobs, "Dad, why didn't you come back if you're not dead? I thought you were dead!"

Ling Chaowen's voice sounded like he was about to cry.

Ling Xiaoce's face darkened, and he quickly pushed his hand away, "You're such a grown man, and you're still crying! Don't embarrass your father!"

Jiang Ningwan had been frightened, but now her emotions had calmed down a lot, leaving only joy and curiosity.

He advised: "Cousin, please sit down and listen slowly. I also want to know what is going on."

After Ling Chaowen sat down, Ling Yaoqin was the first to speak: "When we were exiled to the North, someone in the North wanted to kill us."

"It was the King of Chu who saved us and made some fake corpses. But something unexpected happened, so Chao Wen and Jin Lan couldn't leave with us."

"But in order to keep the secret, we dare not let Chao Wen and Jin Lan know about this. We can only live in obscurity."

"Although it was later clarified that the Ling family had not colluded with the enemy, it was the emperor's will that we were silenced, so we couldn't come back."

"Originally, when Wen Li ascended the throne, the prince planned to arrange for us to return, but your grandfather was poisoned and left with a chronic illness. He was bedridden for many years and unable to get up. His illness worsened just before we left, so we couldn't leave for a while, and it has been delayed until now."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was extremely shocked and looked at Qin Shuangchi, "Such a big thing, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Qin Shuangchi was about to speak when Ling Yaoqin explained, "I told him not to say it."

"I couldn't tell you before, but then I thought I'd come back and give you a surprise. Now that you and Jinlan are pregnant, I can't be too excited or too sad, so I plan to wait until you have the baby safely before coming to see you."

"We arrived in Kyoto City a few days ago and live across the street. We learned that Jinlan had a difficult delivery today, so we came here."

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan finally understood why they showed up today.

Such surprises can indeed give people strength.

After hearing this, Jiang Ningwan's eyes moistened again, "I never thought I could be reunited with you in this life..."

Ling Yaoqin wiped the tears from her face distressedly, "Don't cry, crying too much is bad for your health, and you are pregnant."

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan wiped her tears and asked, "Is Grandfather okay now?"

Ling Yaoqin sighed: "He doesn't recognize people very well now, but he's in good health. Thanks to the doctors hired by the King of Chu and the constant medication, he's gotten much better."

Jiang Ningwan nodded, feeling lucky to be alive!

Thinking back to what Qin Shuangchi said, perhaps it could make up for her regrets, she thought he was joking at the time, but she didn't expect it to be true.

Qin Shuangchi said, "You will have to follow me into the palace to see the emperor later."

"Now that you're back, you can't hide this from the Emperor."

Soon, after changing their clothes, they followed Qin Shuangchi into the palace to meet the emperor.

Jiang Ningwan did not follow into the palace, but went to accompany Ling Jinlan.

Qin Huaizhao took care of the child alone, while Jiang Ningwan chatted with Ling Jinlan in the room.

"You are weak now, you should get some sleep."

Ling Jinlan smiled palely, "Mom and Dad are back. It feels like a dream. I'm afraid they'll disappear when I wake up."

Jiang Ningwan smiled and comforted him, "It's not a dream, they really are back! They're not dead!"

"You and the child are safe, and the family can finally be reunited. It's double happiness!"

Hearing this, Ling Jinlan's eyes filled with tears again, and she held Jiang Ningwan's hand tightly, "Yes, the family is reunited..."

Jiang Ningwan stayed with Ling Jinlan in the room for a while, and left only after Ling Jinlan fell asleep.

Let the maid guard closely.

That day, the news that the Ling family had returned to Kyoto spread.

The emperor was also shocked. He never thought they were still alive.

The Queen Mother kept several people in the palace for a whole day.

The emperor wanted to reward several members of the Ling family again, but they refused.

Having lived in hiding for many years, they are no longer accustomed to being officials or attending court.

He did not ask for a new house, but just moved into the Duke of Ling's Mansion.

Since General Ling had not yet returned to the capital, he retained his official position, title and salary and did not request to attend court.

When this news came out, the whole court was shocked.

The Ling family members are still alive!

Ling Chaowen also felt relieved at once, "Great, I finally don't have to be a Duke anymore."

However, Ling Xiaoce did not take over the affairs of the mansion. He patted his shoulder and said, "Chao Wen, you are now able to stand on your own. Dad and Mom are used to a leisurely life. This Kyoto City is prosperous, but it is no longer suitable for us."

"This Duke's Mansion still needs you to support it alone!"

Hearing this, Ling Chaowen was shocked, "Dad, Mom, are you still leaving?"

Ling Xiaoce smiled and said, "We won't be leaving for a while, but your grandfather is still in the north, so we have to go there."

Ling Chaowen's heart sank. "Can't we bring Grandfather over?"

Ling Xiaoce's expression suddenly became serious. "You're already such a grown-up, why are you still clinging to your parents? We have our own lives to live!"

Ling Chaowen was unhappy, "Okay."
