“Alright then.

“Father and Big Brother, remember to come back in time for dinner.”

“Mm-hmm,” Qin Dahu replied.

“Then, tomorrow, I have to go to the army camp. Big Brother, you can come with me,” Qin Xiaoyao said.

“Great!” Qin Dahu hurriedly replied.

Qin Xiaoyao then continued to pick up food to eat.

At the same time, she reminded Madam Liu and the others to eat more.

After the meal, Qin Xiaoyao brought Princess Xiangyang, Song Yun, and Song Ye out after a short rest.

The three little ones were all young, so they sat in the same carriage. Not long after they left the residence, they became familiar with each other.

Princess Xiangyang even took the initiative to hold Song Yun’s hand and kept calling her “Young Master Aunt.”

Song Yun’s face turned red from being addressed like this.

She was only a month older than Princess Xiangyang, yet the other party addressed her as “Young Master Aunt.”

By contrast, Song Ye was very calm when he heard Princess Xiangyang address him as “Young Master Uncle.”

When they reached the street, Princess Xiangyang brought the siblings to go shopping. Qin Xiaoyao became the person who tagged along to pay.

As she looked at the three lively youngsters, Qin Xiaoyao felt that she was quite comfortable being a “big sucker”.

Meanwhile, after Madam Liu was led back to the courtyard by the maidservant, she did not stay in the courtyard for long.

She left her own courtyard and went to Liu Ling’s courtyard.

Liu Ling was preparing to go to the workshop when he saw Madam Liu walking in, supported by a maidservant. He was taken aback.

“Greetings, Old Mistress.” Then, he quickly bowed to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu looked at Liu Ling and her eyes stopped on his face. She didn’t speak for a long time.

Just as Liu Ling was about to speak to break the unbearable silence, Madam Liu spoke up. “Young Master Liu, you’re too polite.

“I have something to ask Young Master Liu. Can we talk in private?”

Liu Ling’s eyes flickered momentarily.

“Sure,” he replied after hesitating for a moment.

Then, he walked to one side.

“Go and stand guard outside,” Madam Liu said to the maidservant beside her.

A hint of doubt flashed across the maidservant’s face, but she still left the courtyard.

When Madam Liu saw that the maidservant had left the courtyard, she walked towards Liu Ling.

“Old Mistress, what do you want to ask me?” Liu Ling bowed to Madam Liu.

Madam Liu’s gaze fell on Liu Ling’s face again. She stared at him intently and refused to shift her gaze.

Liu Ling became very uneasy as a result.

‘Do you… know Liu Hui?” Finally, Madam Liu spoke.

As she asked, Madam Liu still looked straight at Liu Ling and did not look away.

Liu Ling’s face stiffened.

Following that, he asked Madam Liu instead, “Old Mistress, why do you ask this?”

Madam Liu’s eyes flashed with a hint of excitement.

“Because… Liu Hui is my older brother.

“Back then… back then, my husband’s family and my maiden family met with misfortune one after the other. The whereabouts of my sister-in-law and her children are unknown.

“Are you… my long-suffering nephew?” At this point, Madam Liu’s eyes were already filled with tears.

This young man had the exact same name and looked very much like her eldest brother. She couldn’t be mistaken.

Liu Ling’s expression stiffened again.

‘Ling’er, it’s you, isn’t it? Where are your mother and elder sister? Are they alright?” Madam Liu couldn’t hold back any longer.

She stepped forward and grabbed Liu Ling’s hand.

Liu Ling didn’t evade her touch. A sense of helplessness flashed through his heart.

He knew that his identity could not be hidden from his aunt for too long.

He did not expect her to guess that it was him the moment she saw him.

” Aunt…” Finally, Liu Ling called out.

Madam Liu s body froze when she heard him.

Then, she immediately raised her head in delight and gazed at Liu Ling.

“It really is you! Ling’er! I’ve… I’ve found you?” she said excitedly.

“Mm-hmm,” Liu Ling hurriedly replied.

Thereafter, he went forward to support Madam Liu.

“Aunt, don’t be anxious. Let’s sit over there and talk,” he said.

“Good, good! Let’s sit down! Sit down and talk!” Madam Liu was overjoyed as she gazed upon Liu Ling.

Then, she allowed Liu Ling to lead her to a stone bench not far away and sat down.

After helping Madam Liu to sit down, Liu Ling also sat down.

Then, he looked at Madam Liu, who was looking at him kindly.

“I didn’t expect that 1 would be recognized by Aunt on our first meeting,” Liu Ling said.

A smile appeared on Madam Liu’s face.

“How can I not recognize you? You and your father look exactly alike.”

Liu Ling also smiled.

“Aunt, do you still remember what Father looks like?” His father had been dead for more than ten years, and his memories were very fuzzy.

The smile on Madam Liu’s face immediately disappeared.

“How can I not remember?

“When your father was around, he doted on me the most. Unfortunately…’¹

As she recalled the past. Madam Liu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

When he saw this, Liu Ling hurriedly soothed Madam Liu by patting her back.

‘So many years have elapsed since those events in past. Aunt, you must rake care of your health. Please don’t grieve.”

Madam Liu looked at Liu Ling and nodded while weeping.

Then, she asked, “What about your mother? And Yun’er?”

Liu Ling was silent.

A moment later, when he saw Madam Liu’s expression turning anxious, he replied, “After Mother brought us out of the Liu family’s residence, she died of illness not long after.

“Elder Sis is still here. She’s also in the capital.”

When she heard the first sentence, Madam Liu’s heart trembled.

However, when she heard that Liu Yun was still alive and in the capital, she felt much more relaxed.

“When there’s a chance, I will bring Elder Sis to see you,” Liu Ling added.

Madam Liu quickly nodded.

“Good!” She held onto Liu Ling’s hand.

Liu Ling felt a comforting warmth in his palm.

“The situation in the capital is complicated. There are many reasons why I moved into the Marquis’s residence. Cousin-in-law… doesn’t know my identity yet.”

“Aunt, can you keep it a secret for me?” Liu Ling quickly said.

Madam Liu was momentarily stunned.

Then, she quickly replied, “Sure!”

Whether it was the Song family or the Liu family, they both suffered injustice.

It wasn’t easy for her daughter-in-law to get to where she was today. It was better not to let her know too much.

It was also to avoid implicating her when the matter was exposed.

Only then did Liu Ling relax.

Then, he started chatting with Madam Liu.

He listened to Madam Liu talk about the situation over the years, and then he talked about what happened to him and his elder sister Liu Yun.

Of course, Liu Ling did not divulge the matter regarding Cloud Scent Court. He did not let Madam Liu know that he had worked in a brothel with his elder sister.

“It’s good that you are helping Sanya run the workshop now.

“Previously, Sanya ran a century egg business and a porridge shop in Mountain Spring Town. Her business was very good.

“When century eggs are ready, the business will definitely be able to earn money,” Madam Liu said with a smile.

Liu Ling nodded.

“I am also very optimistic about Lord Marquis’s business.”

Madam Liu smiled and patted Liu Ling’s hand.

“If your elder sister is free, you can ask her to come over and help.”

“It’s our family’s business. We can only be at ease when our own family members take charge.”

Liu Ling’s expression froze.

“Don’t worry. I ll talk to your cousin-in-law. She will agree.”

Liu Ling was utterly speechless.

Well, fine. Aunt was so enthusiastic that it was beyond his expectations.

“Ahem… Elder Sis is busy with her own matters. She probably won’t be able to come,” Liu Ling hurriedly said.

Madam Liu looked disappointed.

“Alright then. Then let’s talk about this another time.”

Then, she held onto Liu Ling s hand and continued chatting..
