Crossing Over to Yamada Love

The old Marquis looked at Xue Lingfeng with hopeful eyes. He hoped the news wasn't bad. He also hoped his sister was still alive.

Xue Lingfeng understood the whole story. He smiled slightly and said, "Please wait a moment, my lord. Perhaps the person you are looking for will appear soon."

“Feng’er means…” The old Marquis understood a little. Feng’er meant that the person he was looking for was in this shop. Was that possible?

Seeing Xue Lingfeng nod at him, the old Marquis was filled with anticipation, but also felt somewhat uneasy.

Leaving aside the people in the private room, let's talk about Mo Lan. She hurried to the backyard, entered the kitchen, glanced at her grandmother picking vegetables, and silently walked to her side, carefully observing her. How should she put it? She couldn't be too sudden, otherwise she was afraid Wang Shi would get too excited, which wouldn't be good for her health.

"Girl, what's wrong? Did I get some ash on my face?" Seeing her granddaughter staring intently at her, Wang thought there was some black ash on her face, which she had probably accidentally gotten on while she was busy at the stove. She quickly raised her sleeve and wiped it off.

“Grandma, there’s no ash, it’s clean. Can you tell me about your background?” Mo Lan squatted down, took Wang’s hand, and said softly.

"Why are you bringing this up again? Let's talk about it when we have more free time later." Wang didn't understand why her granddaughter had suddenly brought this up again. She didn't want to talk about it, especially since there were still quite a few people in the kitchen.

"Grandma, have you ever thought about seeing your relatives again?" Mo Lan didn't stop the conversation but continued to ask.

"What did you say? What's wrong with you today? Why do you keep talking about this?" Wang's eyes flashed, but she calmed down again. "Let's not talk about this anymore, hurry up and prepare the food, the front is waiting." Wang changed the subject again.

"Grandma, do you know Wang Zhonghui?" Mo Lan asked softly, her voice so low that only she and Wang Shi could hear her.

As Mo Lan finished speaking, the vegetables in Wang's hand fell to the ground with a thud.

"Girl, who...who did you say?" Madam Wang grabbed her granddaughter's shoulders with trembling hands. Her agitated appearance startled Mo Lan.

“Wang Zhonghui, he also has a jade pendant just like Grandma’s. He said it was given to him by his elders, and he’s looking for his own sister.” Mo Lan understood as soon as she saw her grandmother. It seemed that the old Marquis was right; Grandma really was the old Marquis’s sister.

Upon hearing Mo Lan's words, Wang swayed. "Big brother, is Lan Lan talking about my big brother? Heavens, is he really her big brother?"

Mo Lan quickly helped her grandmother sit up straight and gently patted her back.

"Lan'er, what did you say? Why are you so angry with your grandmother! Hurry up and apologize to her." Qiu Shi, not knowing what was going on, rushed over. Seeing her mother-in-law's blank expression and silence, she assumed that her daughter had upset her.

"Mother, Grandma is fine. She'll be alright in a bit, don't worry. You can go ahead with your work," Mo Lan replied.

"Mother, are you really alright?" Qiu was still a little worried, and Liu came over as well.

Wang took a breath, looked at the people around her, and waved to her two daughters-in-law: "Go on with your work."

"Lan'er, don't upset your grandma. She loves you, so don't say anything that might upset her," Qiu told her daughter before she and Liu went back to their work.

After the two left, Madam Wang tightly grasped Mo Lan's hand and asked, "Girl, am I dreaming? You're not lying to me?" She still couldn't believe it; it felt too much like a dream.

“It’s true, Grandma.” Mo Lan nodded to her.

"Oh my god!" Wang cried out, "Where is she? Take me there quickly!" Wang stood up and asked Mo Lan to lead her away. In her haste, she even knocked over the stool she was sitting on.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Qiu had just picked up the spatula when she heard her mother-in-law's shrill cry. She quickly put down what she was doing and rushed over. Liu also came over to help her.

"It's alright, it's alright. Don't worry about it." Wang pushed her daughter-in-law away, telling them to leave her alone.

"Aunt, Mother, you two go ahead with your work. I'll tell you later. I'll take Grandma to the front first. Put the food here when it's ready, don't rush to serve it. Wait for my message." Mo Lan instructed the two women, then helped Wang Shi leave. Liu Shi and Qiu Shi were left looking at each other, wondering what had happened.

Wang was usually a calm and composed person, never flustered by anything. But now her body was trembling, and her legs were shaking. She felt both happy and afraid. She was happy that she had received news from her family, whom she hadn't heard from in years, but she was afraid that her joy would be in vain.

Upon arriving at the private room, Mo Lan asked her grandmother to calm down before helping Wang Shi into the room.

Inside the private room, the old Marquis was fidgeting, looking around anxiously. He was so worried; if Ling Feng hadn't told him to wait, he would have rushed over to find his sister right now. When would this person finally arrive?

The old lord felt that time was passing too slowly. Just as he was about to ask again, two people entered through the door: the little girl from before and an old lady.

The old marquis's gaze fell on the old lady. There were already some white hairs at her temples, but her hair was neatly combed and held back by a silver hairpin.

She has quite a few wrinkles on her face, but it's not hard to tell from her features that she was a beauty in her youth.

Is this his sister? The old marquis dared not recognize her. He looked her over carefully, trying to see the shadow of his sister in the corners of her eyes and eyebrows. But when they parted, his sister was not even sixteen years old. He could not connect her with the old woman in front of him at all.

Supported by Mo Lan, Wang Shi walked forward step by step. Her gaze swept around the room before landing on the face of the old man in the middle, and she looked at him carefully.

Is this her brother? Is it? This isn't her handsome and dashing elder brother. Tears welled up in Wang's eyes. So many years have passed. She herself has grown old. How could her elder brother still be young? She looked at him carefully. She could really see her elder brother's shadow in the old man's features. He looked like her father.

"You, who are you?"

"you are?"

Wang asked tremblingly, and the old Marquis also stood up and asked.

The old Marquis handed over the jade pendant he was holding. Wang Shi took the jade pendant and kept stroking it with her hands, tears falling drop by drop.

"Is it really my elder brother? Is it really you?" Wang asked, her eyes filled with tears and her lips trembling.

"It is me, it is me, are you really my little sister?" The old Marquis was also very excited, but he didn't dare to admit it.

“It’s me, elder brother, I’m Zhilan, your younger sister, your little Lan’er,” Wang called out, then knelt down before the old Marquis.

"Lan'er, it's Lan'er, my good sister." The old Marquis also cried out, tears streaming down his face.

"Quick, get up!" The old Marquis hurriedly helped his sister up. Mo Lan also went to help her grandmother.

Wang was helped up, her body was a little weak, and Mo Lan helped her to the kang (a heated brick bed). The old Marquis also sat down on the kang, and the two held hands, constantly shedding tears.

"How did you get here, elder brother? Where is Mother? Is Mother still alive? How is Sister-in-law? How is Second Brother? How is everyone at home?" Wang wiped away her tears and asked a lot of questions in one breath.

“Oh, Mother, she has passed away. The only wish she left unfulfilled was to find you. She couldn’t close her eyes in peace without seeing you. Mother held my hand and told me that I must find you, otherwise she would not be able to rest in peace in the afterlife. Today I have finally found my little sister, and I can finally face my mother.” The old Marquis said emotionally.

"Mother, Mother, I didn't even get to see you one last time before you died. I'm such an unfilial son!" Wang cried out again upon hearing that her mother had passed away.

"Alright, alright, stop crying. Now that we've found you, your mother will be happy and at peace in the afterlife." The old marquis patted his sister's hand, trying to comfort her.

"Yes, yes, don't cry, don't cry anymore. I'm so happy to see my brother today." Wang said she was happy, but she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.

"Oh, right, my jade pendant is with Young Master Xue. I was about to open a shop and didn't have any money at home, so I pawned it to him. Young Master Xue, could you please lend me the jade pendant for a moment?" Madam Wang remembered her jade pendant, which was her personal possession. But Lan'er had told her that Young Master Xue wanted the jade pendant as a token, and since her family probably couldn't find it, she thought it would be better to give it to Lan'er as part of her dowry. So she hadn't gone to ask for the jade pendant back.

"No need, Feng'er has already given me the jade pendant." The old Marquis hurriedly took out Wang's jade pendant and handed it to her.

Wang took the jade pendant and stroked it repeatedly. "Where is my second brother? Is he alright?" Wang asked. These three pendants were three pieces. Now that her eldest brother and she were both there, she wondered how her second brother was doing.

"Good, everything's fine. Your second brother is in the capital now, so don't worry." The old Marquis nodded to Madam Wang.

"That's good. I don't know if the three of us siblings will ever be able to reunite again." As Wang said this, tears fell again.

"How could we not? I'll write home tomorrow to tell them the good news. I'll tell them to get everything ready and bring my sister back. Then the three of us siblings can see each other every day." The old Marquis was very excited. He planned to bring his sister back and make it up to her properly.

"Back to the capital?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Madam Wang's eyes, yet tinged with uncertainty. "Let's not talk about that now. Who are these two?" Madam Wang asked, looking at Wang Zhi and Wang Mingda.

"Look, I was so happy that I forgot to tell the girl." The old Marquis slapped his forehead.

"Zhi'er, come and meet your aunt. She is your only biological aunt." The old Marquis called over his second son and asked him to pay his respects.

“Aunt, I kowtow to you, wishing you good health and a long life.” Wang Zhi stepped forward, lifted his robe, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Is this...is this Sheng'er? Quick, get up!" Wang looked at the man kneeling on the ground, somewhat unable to recognize him.

"Haha, this is Zhi'er, Sheng'er is the eldest son, and Zhi'er is my fourth son. Sheng'er is currently in the capital managing everything in the manor. No wonder you don't recognize him, sister; Zhi'er wasn't even born when we parted ways." The old Marquis introduced them to his sister.
