Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Cui'er knew that Qin Fangya and Hua Mingche had been taking care of them along the way, and she also knew their identities.

There were many times when she wanted to tell them Chong'er's identity, but every time she wanted to open her mouth, the two of them found an excuse to change the subject.

She thought they didn't want to know, but she didn't expect they knew all along.

Cui Er knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Qin Fangya, "Thank you, thank you Madam Hua, I, on behalf of the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, thank you..."

Qin Fangya took a few quick steps and helped Cui'er up. "Don't be like this. I watched the Crown Prince grow up. We are deeply saddened by their hardship. The only thing we can do now is to take good care of Chong'er. As for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess... we can tell Chong'er about their affairs when he is older!"

"I know, but Madam Hua doesn't. The young master is very smart. Even if he doesn't say it, I know he still remembers what happened that day. If it weren't for Miss Leng, Chong'er would have already..."

"Don't worry. Youran said that children have very few memories. If you don't mention it in front of him, he will gradually forget it. I said this not to make him forget the family feud, but Chong'er is still young. We don't want him to bear such a huge blood feud at such a young age. When he grows up, it will be up to him to make the choice. Now we just need to enlighten him more and let him have a happy childhood. I think his high fever these past two days may be because he is depressed. You can enlighten him more..."

The two chatted for a while before Qin Fangya left with red eyes.

Before leaving, she glanced at Chong'er who was still sleeping, and quietly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When Hua Mingche returned to the room, he saw that she thought something was wrong with Chong'er and asked hurriedly, "But Chong'er..."

Qin Fangya waved her hand and sat down beside him. "Chong'er is fine, but he's been hiding something in his heart. Today, he even cried out for his father and mother in his dream. I think his high fever these past two days is because he remembers the family reuniting around the New Year, which is why he suddenly fell ill."

Hua Mingche heaved a sigh of relief when he learned Chong'er was fine. He slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Humph, Zhao Mingyao really deserves to die for doing such a filthy thing. Just wait, even if people can't collect his body, God won't let him feel comfortable for too long..."

Qin Fangya was amused by his words and placed her hand on his clenched left fist. "You, just keep these words at home and don't spread them outside. No matter who he is, he is the emperor now. These words are extremely treasonous. Be careful, there are ears."

"Of course I know that I can only say these words in front of you. If God really has eyes, there wouldn't be so many unjust, false and wrongful cases in the world. Sigh...but thinking about Chong'er having to bear so much at such a young age, it really hurts me."

How could Qin Fangya not know this? She was also very distressed about Chong'er, but what could she do? Things had already happened. Even if they hadn't happened, what could they do?

Zhao Mingyao must have made thorough preparations to be able to do that that day. Even if they could do it again, they would not be able to do it.

Hua Mingche suddenly said, "Ah... I don't know how An'er is doing. We haven't heard from him for a long time, and I don't know what he's busy with. He must feel guilty after learning about what happened in the Prince's Mansion. But we can't say too much about Chong'er in the letter. I really want the child to see Chong'er. At least it can ease his pain of losing his best friend."

"Dad and Mom, what are you talking about? Mingyu's son is here?"

Hua Zian, who had just caught up with Hua Mingche and others, was brought here. He heard his parents talking at the door and thought that the couple were discussing important matters so he did not disturb them. However, the more he listened, the more frightened he became, especially when he heard them mention Chong'er.

Without caring about anything else, he pushed the door open and walked in.

The couple, who were talking animatedly, were attracted by his rude opening of the door and sudden voice, and turned their heads in shock to look at the door.

I saw snowflakes hanging on my son's black cloak.

His handsome face looked extremely haggard, perhaps because of the days of running around. He, who cared most about his appearance, had a messy beard at this moment.

If it weren't for his voice and figure, Hua Mingche and Qin Fangya would not have believed at all that the person in front of them was their handsome son.

"An'er, An'er, you are finally back..." Qin Fangya didn't care about anything else and rushed towards Hua Zian. Hua Zian staggered after being knocked by her mother. Fortunately, he leaned against the door frame for support, so the two did not fall.

"Mom, it's me, I'm back."

"Wuuu, wuuu, you little bastard have been gone for several months. If I hadn't received news from you, I would have thought that you... wuuu... " She sobbed and hit Hua Zian's shoulder with her fist.

You don't know until you hit her. As soon as she started, Qin Fangya quickly withdrew her hand, trying hard to stop crying, and choked out, "An'er, why are you so thin?"

Just now, when her fist hit Hua Zian, she only felt a sharp pain in her hand.

"Mom, I'm fine. Men don't need to care about these things."

"You little bastard, you've really made a big fuss. You've been away for such a long time and you're still in such a state when you come back. If you weren't so skinny, I would have wanted to punch you a few times." Having said that, Hua Mingche still walked to Hua Zian and patted his arm gently.

After the photoshoot, his mood was as heavy as Qin Fangya's. He scolded, "Don't you have enough banknotes on you, kid? You've been away from home for such a short time, and you've ruined yourself into this state?"

Seeing that both of them had tears in their eyes, Hua Zian's heart softened. He pulled them to the table and sat down. "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I'm back now. I'll gain some weight back eventually..."

"Yes, yes, yes. Mom will ask someone to prepare some food for you right away. I see you haven't eaten anything since you rushed back overnight." Qin Fangya ignored Hua Zian who stretched out his hand to stop her, and ran out holding up her skirt.

Seeing that he couldn't stop it, Hua Zian didn't continue to refuse. Instead, he turned his head to look at Hua Mingche who was still staring at him and said, "Dad, you just talked about Chong'er with Mom? But that Chong'er?" Hua Zian asked cautiously, fearing that it was not what he had in mind.

After all, he was standing outside the door just now and couldn't hear clearly. He only vaguely heard words like "father, king, mother, concubine Chong'er" and so on.

Hua Mingche nodded slightly, "Yes, that child has been with us for a long time. On that day..."

Hua Mingche concisely recounted how Leng Youran saved Chong'er and entrusted him to take care of her.

Hua Zian was a little dazed when he heard Leng Youran's name. It took him a while to remember that she was his aunt's little cousin.
