With this shout.
Gu Qianying, Gu Yefeng, Duan Xifeng, Du Chun, Nangong Li, Du Chun, and others all stood up.
These people all looked up at the sound.
Upon seeing the person who arrived.
Among the crowd, Duan Xifeng was extremely excited.
He stepped forward and hugged Nangong Yihao.
Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than Nangong Yihao.
Nangong Yihao, who had returned from studying martial arts and medicine.
"You brat, you finally decided to come back. I've missed you so much."
Tears welled up in Duan Xifeng's eyes.
He held Xiao Yihao tightly, missing him dearly.
This was the child he had raised by his side. If it weren't beneficial for Xiao Yihao, he wouldn't have let him leave the capital to study medicine and martial arts at Mount Wutai.
Mount Wutai was a place where outsiders were not allowed. Whenever he missed his nephew, he would go to Mount Wutai to try and break in.
Unfortunately, the elders there were too fierce, and he couldn't defeat them, so he never succeeded in meeting his nephew.
He knew that not only he, as an uncle, missed Xiao Yihao, but Gu Qianying, as his mother, missed him even more.
Duan Xifeng quickly let go of Xiao Yihao and pulled him inside.
"Mother, Uncle, Great-Grandfather, Yihao has missed you all so much."
Tears welled up in Xiao Yihao's eyes.
He walked up to Gu Qianying, his voice choked with emotion, "Mother, I'm back."
Looking at the handsome young man before her, who was a head taller than her.
Tears also welled up in Gu Qianying's eyes. She raised her hand and lightly punched Xiao Yihao's chest, "You child, you didn't even let your mother know before you came back. Your mother could have sent someone to pick you up."
Xiao Yihao had grown up and become a young man in white.
He raised his sleeve and wiped away Gu Qianying's tears.
"Son wanted to give Mother a surprise. Does Mother like it?"
Xiao Yihao, after growing up, was a warm man.
"I like your height."
Although she said this, Gu Qianying still opened her arms to Xiao Yihao.
She wanted to hug her son.
Xiao Yihao tilted his head and smiled. He stepped forward and hugged his mother.
The smile on his face was sweet.
Today was Old General Gu's birthday.
Xiao Yihao, who had returned, also brought a birthday gift for Old General Gu.
It was a calligraphy and painting that he had written himself, with blessings written on each piece, showing his thoughtfulness.
The family lacked nothing; he just hoped his great-grandfather would be happy.
Old General Gu was very happy to receive Xiao Yihao's gift.
His happiness was even greater at seeing Xiao Yihao return.
The family reunited.
Xiao Yihao sat between Old General Gu and Gu Qianying, guarding his mother and his great-grandfather, feeling very happy.
The birthday banquet was filled with joy due to Xiao Yihao's presence.
Duan Xifeng and Gu Yefeng, being too happy, had a few more drinks and were both drunk when they left.
Gu Qianying asked the housekeeper to prepare rooms and had the guards carry Duan Xifeng and Gu Yefeng to their rooms.
After Meng Qinghua's legs were severed, his health had not been good.
Fortunately, Du Chun had been brewing medicine for him to recuperate for many years.
After the banquet dispersed, Meng Xiangxiang and Du Chun pushed Meng Qinghua back to the room Gu Qianying had prepared for them.
They had all had some wine and were kept by Gu Qianying.
Staying overnight at a friend's house was normal.
Meng Qinghua and the others did not stand on ceremony and stayed.
The Sixth Prince Nangong Li saw that Meng Qinghua, Duan Xifeng, and the others had not left, so he was too lazy to return to the palace and also stayed at the Gu residence.
Gu Qianying had also drunk a few more cups due to the overwhelming joy of seeing her son.
It was her son, Xiao Yihao, who escorted her back.
After helping Gu Qianying lie down.
Xiao Yihao sat by the bedside watching her and covered her with the blanket.
"Son..."
Gu Qianying opened her eyes, grabbed Xiao Yihao, and intended to ask something.
But the words were interrupted by Xiao Yihao.
"Mother, son knows what you want to ask."
"Mother, don't worry. Sister Hu and Brother Gu Nian, they are very well now. The Grand Elder of Mount Wutai has helped them remove the demonic energy from their bodies. They are now quietly cultivating by the Grand Elder's side. Before son descended the mountain, he specifically went to see them."
"Sister Hu and Brother Gu Nian also asked son to bring gifts to Great-Grandfather."
Earlier, his mother had drunk a little too much, and he hadn't seen the gifts he had given later.
"That's good, that's good."
Gu Qianying held the back of Xiao Yihao's hand, and the scene from two years ago flashed in her mind.
She had finally met her master, Bai Shengjun, as well as her mother and her other younger brother, Meng's son Gu Nian, and that girl Hu Keke.
However, Hu Keke and Gu Nian were both under the command of her master, Bai Shengjun.
Their souls had been brainwashed and controlled by Bai Shengjun.
After fighting her master Bai Shengjun for three days and three nights, she finally rescued her mother and Gu Nian, and Hu Keke.
But when they left, her master Bai Shengjun summoned the ten greatest evil spirits and ten thousand ghosts in heaven and earth.
Such as the Hound Ghost, the Human-Faced Sore, the Soul-Snatching Ghost, the Mountain Ghost, the Killing Spirit, the Crimson Spirit, the Quicksand Spirit, and other evil spirits.
The six realms were in turmoil.
Evil spirits roamed freely.
The spirit beasts by her side, Bai Ze, Xuan Ling Nu, Jiao Long A Mu, were all seriously injured in that battle. She brought them back and housed them on the back mountain.
They needed to cultivate again.
Also, her mother sacrificed herself to protect her, perishing together with her master Bai Shengjun.
Tears streamed down her face.
Unconsciously, she remembered many things from the past.
Xiao Yihao, standing by her side, saw his mother crying.
He quickly handed her a handkerchief and comforted her, "Mother, don't cry. Everything has passed. Everything will get better."
Xiao Yihao, who had a spiritual connection with her, knew that his mother was thinking of her maternal grandmother.
Xiao Yihao helped Gu Qianying wipe away her tears.
Looking at this sensible child before her, Gu Qianying felt very gratified.
She patted the back of Xiao Yihao's hand and said with a tearful smile, "Mother is not crying. Mother is just too happy to see you."
"I know what Mother is thinking. I also know that Mother misses..."
Xiao Yihao's unfinished words were interrupted by Gu Qianying.
She grabbed Xiao Yihao's arm and sat up.
"Is there any more wine, son?"
"Mother, you can't drink anymore. You should lie down and sleep."
Xiao Yihao would not allow Gu Qianying to drink any more.
Gu Qianying flung away Xiao Yihao's arm, turned to look at him, and pinched his face, "Son has grown up. You're starting to manage your mother. But... Mother just wants to drink. Son... my precious son... could you get Mother some more wine?"
Faced with such a coquettish and adorable mother, Xiao Yihao was speechless.
Since his mother wanted to drink, he could only indulge her.
A moment later.
Xiao Yihao brought a jar of wine.
"Mother cannot drink too much. Only a small bowl."
When pouring the wine, Xiao Yihao used a small bowl. He knew his mother didn't like wine cups, so he used a small bowl.
But the wine jar in his hand was suddenly snatched away by Gu Qianying.
Give it all to me!
Gu Qianying snatched the entire jar of wine from Xiao Yihao's embrace.
Holding the wine, she staggered out the door.
Xiao Yihao, worried about his mother, followed closely behind.
During this time, the maid Lu Zhu came over wanting to help, but Gu Qianying waved her away.
Xiao Yihao nodded to Lu Zhu, "Aunt Lu, don't worry. I'll follow Mother. You should go rest. You're about to give birth, so pay attention."
Lu Zhu touched her bulging belly, smiled, and nodded at Xiao Yihao, "Okay, then you go."
Watching Xiao Yihao follow Gu Qianying away.
Lu Zhu lowered her gaze and touched her belly, a smile rising to her lips.
She had never thought that in this life, she would meet a man who loved her, cherished her, and doted on her.
And also a man she loved.
After returning to the Eastern Victory Kingdom with her young lady.
She met the person she loved, married her beloved, and was now about to give birth.
She felt very happy.
On the other side.
Xiao Yihao followed his mother to the back mountain...
