Although it was midnight, the mother and daughter were not sleepy. They lay side by side on the bed, and their excitement couldn’t calm down for a long time.

Dongfang Wan asked: “Zhi’er, tell me what happened when you were in Huangtuo Village.”

Bai Zhi was afraid that she would be sad and emotional, so she only picked some good and interesting topics like how she taught herself, how she let her mother get away from the Bai family, how she met Chu Yan who had amnesia, and how she lived in the village.

Dongfang Wan happily listened and then opened her mouth: “My daughter turns out to be so fierce, you’re just like me.”

The mother and daughter looked sideways at each other, and suddenly laughed again: “Niang, I didn’t expect that you are quite thick-skinned.”

Dongfang Wan smiled and said, “I can’t do anything about it. You can only blame your grandfather, I learned it from him.”

The mother and daughter talked funny things until it was dawn, but they were still full of energy.

Dongfang Wan took Bai Zhi to the courtyard where Zhao Lan lived. Zhao Lan was combing Ru’er’s hair. Seeing them come hand in hand, she immediately knew that they recognized each other. Zhao Lan hurriedly handed Ru’er to the maidservant on the side and greeted them.

Dongfang Wan let go of Bai Zhi’s hand and rushed forward to kneel, but she was firmly supported by Zhao Lan: “Madam, what are you doing? You can’t do that!”

Dongfang Wan couldn’t get down on her knees, so she tightly held Zhao Lan’s hands: “Sister, I know everything. So I don’t know how to thank you, I can’t express my feelings with words.”

Zhao Lan patted the back of her hand, took out the veil to wipe the tears on her face, and smiled with wet eyes: “You call me sister, so why bother to say these things? Zhi’er is not only your daughter but also my daughter. Everything that I did is what I supposed to do.”

Dongfang Wan nodded her head: “Yes, sister you are right. Zhi’er is not only my daughter but also your daughter. From now on, she will be the daughter of both of us and will always be.”

Bai Zhi stepped forward, hugged them, and suddenly burst into tears. howling.

In the past, she wanted to get a normal maternal love, but no matter how much she tried, she couldn’t get this so-called maternal love.

However, in this world, she got more than maternal love. She has two mothers who loved her dearly at the same time.

When happiness comes, you can’t stop it!

In the Chu Palace

After Hu Feng entered the capital, he first settled down his men, and then took Zhou Gang, Fu Zheng, and Zhou Awu into the palace together.

The Emperor had been waiting in the imperial study room a long time ago. When he heard that Prince Jin was already on his way to the imperial study room, he got even more excited to welcome outside the door.

Seeing the tall and straight figure coming towards him, he couldn’t help but walk forward until he reached his son.

Hu Feng knelt down and paid respect. The emperor hurriedly helped him up: “Yan’er, you’re finally back. I know that you will come back, sooner or later.”

The emperor in front of him, and the emperor 10 years ago, seemed to be a different person. Only 10 years had passed, but he looked so old. His black hair on the temples was now gray in color. The wrinkles on his face were now deeper than the other. He looked different from the father he remembered in his heart.

However, those eyes of him that were full of expectation and pity when he looked at him, were still the same as before.

“Imperial Father, this son is back.” His heart was slightly sour. For the first time, he looked at his father so carefully. And then, he realized that the emperor of this country, who was standing in front of him, was also just an old man, waiting for his son’s return.
