After the eldest sister-in-law of a fishing family became a widow, her disabled younger brother-in-l

Madam Jiang's words saddened Jiang Yuyue, and seeing her parents secretly turn away to wipe their tears, she felt particularly distressed.

Jiang Huanxi, however, remained tense. He pulled Jiang Yuyue to a slightly farther location before speaking in a deep voice.

"Sis, do you really like him?"

Jiang Huanxi asked earnestly, "Although what you just said is true, if you have no feelings for him, you absolutely cannot sacrifice your entire life for the sake of stability..."

"Of course I like him."

Jiang Yuyue decisively interrupted him, and Jiang Huanxi was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

"Of course."

Jiang Yuyue didn't hide anything from her younger brother, and asked frankly, "Otherwise, how do you think Mo'er came to be?"

How did Mo'er come to be?

Jiang Huanxi recalled the time when her sister was pregnant, and then thought of how Song Jinglan didn't pay much attention to her, while her sister often fawned over her. Her ears turned slightly red.

That's it...that's it!

Although he was still somewhat unhappy, the thought that Song Jinglan was the person his sister loved made Jiang Huanxi's resentment dissipate considerably.

However, at this moment, Jiang Yuyue suddenly remembered that she hadn't seen Jiang Qimo yet, so she hurriedly asked, "By the way, where's Mo'er?!"

Meanwhile, Jiang Qimo quietly slipped into the main room, hiding behind the door and secretly watching Song Jinglan, his eyes full of curiosity.

Perhaps it was because of their blood ties, but Jiang Qimo felt a strange sense of closeness to this "general". However, he remembered Jiang Yuyue's words clearly and did not dare to approach her easily.

The waiter who came forward to serve tea saw him standing suspiciously at the door and called out, "Young Master Mo, what are you doing hiding here?"

Mo'er?

Upon hearing this, Song Jinglan turned around and immediately met Jiang Qimo's somewhat flustered gaze. He also saw a small face that looked eight-tenths like his own.

Is it really his Mo'er?

Song Jinglan stood up and strode towards him. Jiang Qimo panicked at the sight and instinctively tried to run away, but how could his short legs outrun Song Jinglan? Before he could take two steps, Song Jinglan grabbed him by the back of his neck and lifted him up.

"You...let me go!"

Jiang Qimo flailed wildly in mid-air, and when Song Jinglan heard that familiar voice, she was even more certain that the so-called Jiang Dazhuang was Jiang Qimo.

As for why their appearances are different, it's probably because they disguised themselves, just like Jiang Yuyue did back then.

Now this is truly a father-son reunion for him and Jiang Qimo. Song Jinglan raised an eyebrow and reached out to pinch his chubby little face.

When Jiang Yuyue rushed over, what she saw was Jiang Qimo struggling in Song Jinglan's hands.

When Jiang Qimo saw Jiang Yuyue arrive, he was overjoyed, as if he had seen a savior. He struggled desperately and shouted, "Mother! Help!"

These words made Song Jinglan click her tongue lightly, but she still let go. Jiang Qimo then ran towards Jiang Yuyue as if fleeing, hugging her leg and hiding behind her.

"This brat, do you think I'm going to eat him? He actually dares to yell for help?"

Song Jinglan feigned anger, while Jiang Qimo shrank even further behind Jiang Yuyue upon hearing this. Now that Jiang Yuyue had given him courage, he finally mustered the courage to speak, "Mother said! She said you're a monster who eats people without spitting out the bones! She told Mo'er to stay far away from you!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue's expression froze. How could this child remember so clearly the words she had used to threaten Jiang Qimo earlier?

"Oh? You eat people without spitting out the bones?"

Song Jinglan raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze towards Jiang Yuyue carrying a hint of meaning, before he slowly asked, "What else did your mother say to you?"

Jiang Yuyue inwardly cried out in alarm. She wanted to cover Jiang Qimo's mouth, but she was too late.

"You're a bad person! You think your mother isn't pretty! You want to find Mo'er another mother!"

Jiang Qimo said with exceptional firmness, "I don't want any other bad woman to be my mother. My mother is clearly the most beautiful person in the world!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuyue couldn't help but facepalm. The words she had used to coax the child had actually been spoken to Song Jinglan by Jiang Qimo...

Hearing her own fabricated stories being told to her in front of the real person, Jiang Yuyue felt her cheeks burning and was too embarrassed to look at Song Jinglan's expression.

"I see."

Song Jinglan, however, showed no sign of anger. Instead, he crossed his arms and calmly watched the mother and son in front of him. Fortunately, Jiang's parents arrived and interrupted, preventing Jiang Yuyue from continuing to feel awkward.

Jiang's father looked at Song Jinglan, sighed softly, and finally bowed to him, saying, "Your Majesty."

Song Jinglan immediately dropped her joking expression and helped him up, saying, "Father-in-law, there's no need for such formalities."

Jiang Yuyue was somewhat unaccustomed to such a scene, but Song Jinglan pronounced "father-in-law" quite naturally.

Originally, Jiang's father had many worries about his daughter's arrival in the capital, but now, seeing that Song Jinglan, as a dignified emperor, was so humble and polite, his impression of him improved considerably.

Although they were still somewhat reluctant, the Jiang family had finally accepted reality. After sighing, Jiang's father asked, "When does Your Majesty plan to take my daughter back to the capital?"

"That depends on what she thinks."

Song Jinglan did not make a decision directly, but looked at Jiang Yuyue and said, "If she is willing to stay at home for a few more days, that's fine too."

"Let's leave today."

Jiang Yuyue took over the conversation and spoke decisively. After all, she was clear about the big and small matters. There was a huge backlog of government affairs waiting for Song Jinglan to handle, so how could she let him stay in Jinling City with her?

This surprised Song Jinglan slightly, but he immediately followed up by saying, "If your father and mother-in-law are reluctant to leave, they can come to the capital with us. It will be more convenient for the whole family to reunite then."

"We're getting old, so we won't go to such far-away places anymore."

Father Jiang waved his hand and declined Song Jinglan's invitation, saying, "Jinling City is our old place. If we move, we might not be used to it for a while. Moreover, if our Jiang family goes to the capital because of Yue'er and His Majesty, it will probably cause gossip both inside and outside the court, which may be detrimental to Yue'er."

These words touched Jiang Yuyue's heart slightly. Even now, her parents' actions were always for her benefit.
