I sold grilled fish in the 70s!

Haha! You know about this too? I also want to be as respectful to my future father-in-law as other sons-in-law! But your behavior towards her over the years makes it impossible for me to respect you.

Would you forgive your own father and mother for often abandoning you and your eldest brother in the Yang family mansion when you were young?

Upon hearing this, Mu Long frowned and looked thoughtfully at Steward Yi sitting in front of him.

You might think this is just a convenient excuse for my irresponsible behavior back then. But it really is the truth! I offended a lot of people because of my youthful impetuosity.

So, out of sheer necessity, she had no choice but to drive Rong'er, who was still an infant, out of the Yang family mansion? Do you know how she endured those cold winter nights all by herself when the snow was falling heavily?

If her mother had found her in front of the Yang family mansion that night, perhaps Rong'er, this extraordinary woman, would never have existed in this world.

Therefore, I have always been deeply grateful to your Yang family! I have always been thinking about what I can do to repay the kindness of you in saving Rong'er's life back then.

Haha! Since you know that our Yang family has been kind to you, why have you framed us time and time again? What exactly has our Yang family done to hurt you?

Hearing his future son-in-law question him so sternly, Emperor Xia lowered his head in shame. It was all his fault for being young and impetuous, offending some people he shouldn't have. As a result, he could only watch helplessly as the woman he loved most died in his arms.

In order to better protect the safety of his favorite daughter, he had no choice but to reluctantly abandon the infant Xue Rong in front of the Yang family mansion.

Fortunately, not long after, Xue Rong was taken in by the kind-hearted Yu Qin and raised in the Yang family mansion. Yu Qin had hoped her precious daughter could grow up happily and peacefully in the Yang family.

But fate had other plans! Another misfortune befell Xue Rong...

Xue Rong and Yu Qin met again on Shenglong Street.

Miss! Miss! Slow down, please don't run so fast! If you fall and trip, the master will scold us servants for not taking good care of you.

Why do you keep chattering in my ear all day long? You really remind me of that guy Mu Long, who always loves to nag me endlessly!

Haha! Is our little lady starting to miss her favorite man?

How dare you joke about me? Have I been too lenient with you all? As soon as Father left, you all started making fun of me.

After Xia Rong finished speaking, she grabbed the ear of the maid standing next to her. This scene, unfortunately, was witnessed by Yu Qin.

Why are all the girls these days so fierce? Grabbing someone's ear in public like that! It's really outrageous.

Meow! Meow!

At this moment, the little hibiscus lying in Yuqin's arms raised its little head and chirped softly at her a few times, then raised its little paws and kept pointing at Xia Rong standing not far away.

"What's wrong, little girl? Isn't that older sister a bit unladylike? We're good! We won't be like her!" Yuqin lowered her head and whispered to Xiao Furong.

Seeing that Yuqin didn't intend to take it to find Xia Rong, Xiao Furong started meowing in Xia Rong's direction.

"Haha! Miss, look, that little kitten being held in the lady's arms is meowing at you!" The maidservant beside Xia Rong said this and pointed at Xiao Furong.

Xia Rong looked in the direction the girl was pointing and saw Mu Long's little kitten! It had been a while since she'd seen the little guy! The little guy seemed even more agile than before.

From the moment Xia Rong first saw Xiao Furong, she was deeply attracted by this adorable little kitten! She suddenly felt that the kittens she had raised before were no longer appealing.

When Little Hibiscus saw Xia Rong looking at it, it stretched out its little chubby hand with a small bell and shook it at Xia Rong.

Little Miss! Am I seeing things? The little kitten being held in the lady's arms seems to be greeting us!

Come here! Little one! Xia Rong clapped her hands gently as she walked towards Xiao Furong.

Meow meow meow! Little Hibiscus responded to Xia Rong with a few soft meows, and then kept rubbing its fluffy head against Yuqin's neck.

Goodness! What's wrong with you? Why are you acting all cute and affectionate with me all the time?

Madam, has it set its sights on something fun again and wants you to help it sell it? That's why it keeps acting cute towards you!

Do you want some candied hawthorns? You adorable little glutton, I knew you really wanted some! But your owner told me before we left that I absolutely mustn't buy you any!

Seeing that Yuqin hadn't put her down yet, Xiao Furong tried to jump, but Yuqin held her tightly in her arms.

Why are you so excited to see me now, little guy? You used to ignore me completely, didn't you?

Hey! What are you doing? It's really not right to seduce someone's little kitten in public like this, is it?

Haha! Auntie, it's been so long since I've seen Rong'er, you must have completely forgotten about me by now!

After Xia Rong finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Furong in her arms, and the previously noisy and restless Xiao Furong immediately quieted down.

Ah! It's you! What are you doing wandering around the streets alone? Oh, and you should hurry and find that kid Mu Long! He's making sweet and sour candied hawthorns right now!

Let me tell you, if you go too late, you definitely won't be able to eat the candied hawthorns made by Mu Long himself.

Why? If I told you that Mu Long would definitely save two strings of candied hawthorns for me, would you believe me?

"Warm and sweet! We're coming here! Come to Mommy! Do you want this pretty dress that Mommy is holding?" Suddenly, a very warm scene appeared in Yuqin's mind.

She sat in a wicker chair, holding a pink dress, with a little girl who had just turned one year old standing in front of her. Since the little girl had not yet learned to walk, a maid was supporting her from behind.

The little girl smiled and nodded at Yuqin, who was sitting in the wicker chair, revealing two tiny front teeth in her smile. She clapped her two chubby little hands happily.

Damn!

My dearest Nuannuan, why are you so happy today? Is it because Nuannuan has a cute little dress to wear again today?

Thinking of this, Yuqin couldn't help but whisper, "Nuan Nuan, your mother misses you! How are you doing now?"
