After binding the investment system, I began to cultivate the empress

The Li Mansion many years ago.

Gu Xueqin carried breakfast and walked into the backyard in the sunshine. The surroundings were quiet with only the sound of her footsteps.

She walked to the guest room, but did not go in immediately. Instead, she stuck her head in and looked around. She saw the only surviving little girl in the Ying family compound, curled up on the bed.

"Xiao Bing'er hasn't woken up yet?"

"Madam, this girl didn't sleep all night. I went in to persuade her to rest, but she just stared at me without saying a word. It was so scary." The maid said with lingering fear.

"That means I go to bed in the morning..."

"Madam, there are so many people in the Ying family compound...but she is not dead, and her body is still so cold. Do you think she is possessed by some ominous thing, that's why..."

The maid lowered her head before she finished speaking, because she noticed that the usually easy-going mistress's eyes were gradually becoming stern.

"I don't want to hear similar words at home again."

After sending the maid away, Gu Xueqin went in to check on Xiao Yingbing's health. She was relieved to find that she was sick.

Just as I stood up and was about to leave, I felt a cold touch on my hand.

She found that the owner of the little hand had a pale face and tightly pursed lips. Although he was obviously cold, sweat was sliding down his furrowed brows.

"Mom, don't abandon me..."

"I'm here, go to sleep."

Later, Ying Bing could often catch a warm hand in his dreams.

Time flies.

That pitiful little face gradually grew up in his eyes. The fear and worry were gone in his eyes. The slightly confused eyes were bright and charming in the sunlight.

Gu Xueqin was distracted for a moment.

The poor little girl has grown into a graceful young lady and is about to get married.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

"Okay, what brings you here?"

"I'm here to deliver some things and then take you to the house in Ziyang Mansion."

Gu Xueqin sat down on the edge of the bed, gathered the scattered hair around Ying Bing's ears, and then opened the bags.

"Going to Ziyang Mansion?"

Ying Bing tilted his head.

"Let that brat come to your parents' home to pick you up. How can it be okay if he doesn't come to our house to get engaged? No one would get married by himself. People would laugh at him if they hear it." Mrs. Gu said seriously.

Ying Bing lowered her eyes: "But I don't have any family..."

Gu Xueqin pulled her hand out and hummed, "Whoever dares to say that my little Bing'er is a motherless girl, I will be the first to disagree, Old Li, don't you think so?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Comrade Lao Li has always cared about his reputation, but now he is like a lackey of his wife.

Ying Bing was stunned. The touch of Gu Xueqin's hand was so familiar to her.

She didn't know where this sense of familiarity came from before, but when she heard that word just now, this familiarity suddenly became real.

"Mother..."

A soft and hazy voice fell, and in the boudoir, one could hear a pin drop.

There were clearly four people in the room, but I couldn't even hear their breathing.

Gu Xueqin looked a little incredulous and opened her mouth, "Xiao Bing'er, what did you call me just now?"

Ying Bing raised her head this time and looked at Gu Xueqin seriously for a long time before repeating in a low voice: "Mother."

"Okay, okay, my dear daughter, let me comb your hair."

Gu Xueqin was overjoyed and excitedly tried to hold the comb several times before she could get it steady.

Comrade Lao Li was at a loss. He stood up and sat down again, muttering to himself that he should bring all his colleagues over and not leave until he was drunk. Although he knew that this was just an engagement party, he really couldn't hold back.

He had been asked many questions when attending weddings at colleagues' homes and his grandson's full moon celebrations.

"When will your family have more people?"

"How are the two little ones doing lately? I thought they were the first to drink at your old Li family's wedding."

Whenever he heard similar questions, what could Lao Li do? He could only drink some wine and smile without saying anything.

It gives people a feeling that everything is under control, but it is not time to inform everyone yet.

“…”

Shang Qinqing looked unexpectedly calm.

She walked out of the room without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.

"Eh? Qin Qing, why did you come down?"

Qin Yuzhi was pulled to the corner of Qiu Shui Pavilion with a confused look on her face.

"Ha..." Shang Qinqing fell to the ground, holding his heart, and then gasped for breath suddenly, as if he had asthma, and kept taking deep breaths.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly."

"Huh...Huh, wait for me."

Shang Qinqing found that no one was paying attention here, so she rolled back and forth on the ground.

"Don't scare me, what happened?"

"Xiao Bing'er called Madam Gu mother."

"hiss....."

Qin Yuzhi leaned back slightly, as if struck by lightning.

then.....

The figure rolling on the ground turned from one to two.

".....What happened to them?" Shang Li asked, looking up.

Shang Wu yawned. "They're having an attack. What's it called... Oh, high blood sugar. Eat less sugar, or you'll be like that in the future."

"I understand, sister." Shang Li nodded fearfully.

Li Mo searched for Shang Qinqing for a long time and finally saw her beside the banyan tree. Before he got close, he heard her whispering with Qin Yuzhi.

"Mrs. Gu was so moved when she heard Xiao Bing'er call her mother."

"Damn it, why wasn't I there then?"

Li Mo: “!”

Bingtuozi changed his name to "mother"?

Student Li crossed his arms, his face sullen. Since he had already changed his tone towards his mother, he should change his tone towards him from now on. He couldn't call him a childish ghost anymore, he had to call him...

"Mrs. Gu was so moved that she cried while combing Xiao Bing'er's hair."

"Isn't it a happy occasion?"

"She said that thinking about her daughter getting married, she felt very complicated as a mother..."

"???"

Question marks popped up one after another on Xiao Li's forehead.

If I remember correctly, he is the only son in the Li family with the surname Li.

Li Mo went upstairs in confusion, but was stopped by Comrade Lao Li, who was like a security guard at the door.

"If you have anything to say, just talk at the door."

"...Dad, is there a possibility that you are hiding something from me?"

"What's going on?"

"When we were young, you took my child and the Ying family's child by mistake. In fact, Bingtuozi is your biological child."

"?"

Seeing his father stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously reaching for his belt, Li Mo coughed lightly again and got down to business.

Li Mo didn't want to ruin the beautiful occasion, but this was destined not to be a peaceful engagement party.

Although Qingyuan Sect has made detailed response measures, no one can guarantee that there will not be any accidents at that time.

Li Mo said seriously:

"Dad, when the time comes, you and Mom better not use the excuse of going to the restroom to pass by the bridal chamber."

"Who the hell is this, the bastard, who dares to ruin the good things of my Li family?"

Li Dalong was furious when he heard that someone was causing trouble.

Li Mo said helplessly: "The Summoning Demon Sect and the Lingxi Sect, I estimate that there are at least two people in the seventh realm. I didn't count the sixth realm, so it should be no less than ten."

"..."

Li Dalong, who was furious, was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly angry tone, "Hmph, I understand. I will take your mother and the others to a safe place. If one day those cunning villains fall into my hands..."

"Dad, let's go inside and talk." Li Mo motioned him to lower his voice.

"No, can't you see I'm standing at the door? Your mother is trying on engagement clothes for Xiao Bing'er."

"hiss...."

Li Mo, who had originally wanted to go in, now felt that he had to go in.
