Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw two slender figures walking out from the east door.

Their faces were about forty to fifty percent alike, both of them were gentle and handsome, but the man on the left was a few years older. With a beard, he was the patriarch of the Nangong Family, the Su Family's eldest son, Nangong Qin.

The man on the right was a bit more handsome. He wore a simple green robe and had a gentle and refined expression on his face. He was the second son of the Su Clan — Nangong Yue's father, Nangong Mu. The two brothers had gone out to visit three days ago and had not returned until now.

When Nangong Yue saw her father, her pupils constricted and her lips curled into a rigid straight line. In her previous life, ever since her mother had gone mad, tragedy had come one after another. She simply didn't have the strength to withstand them.

Afterwards, she was taken away by her grandfather. From then on, she was filled with resentment towards her father, and only when she was 13 years old did she return to the Nangong family …

Nangong Yue subconsciously looked towards her mother. She saw her mother foolishly looking at her father. The corner of her mouth slightly curled up, and her eyes couldn't hide the joy and love in them.

Her mother had always loved his father so much, which was why she fell into madness later on and walked into desperate straits …

Nangong Yue's expression darkened as she looked at her father's refined face. Her eyes were filled with a complicated look.

"You two are back." When the Old Madame saw the return of her eldest and second sons, her face were filled with joy.

"Mother, we've worried you." Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu respectfully bowed to the Old Madame.

The two brothers both realized that Bai Muxiao's lecherous appearance was obviously out of the order, and the atmosphere here was quite strange.

Nangong Qin was the first to greet Bai Muxiao and said, "Xiao Er, there is no need to be so courteous. Quickly go and change your clothes. It's easy to get cold in this weather. "

The two maidservants received the order and quickly brought Bai Muxiao, whose face was somewhat pale from the cold.

Then, Nangong Mu could not help but ask, "Mother, what happened?" He took a quick look at his wife and daughter. He had always known that his mother did not like her own wife and daughter, and felt that there was something odd about it.

Of course, with so many people present, there was no need for the madame to speak. Madame Zhao immediately went up and explained the whole situation in a few words. Her words were very clever.

From the moment Nangong Yue was severely ill, to the moment when Madame Lin came to the Old Madame to ask for the ginseng and Nangong Xin accidentally falling into the water in the garden, the final culprit was Bai Muxiao.

After Nangong Qin and Nangong Mu heard this, both of them were shocked. They never thought that in less than three days after they had left, such a big matter would happen to their family. Especially when Nangong Mu thought about how his eldest son had nearly died because of this, he felt restless.

"Ruo Yan," Nangong Mu called out Madame Lin's name, and carefully asked for confirmation. Is he well? " He could not wait to go back and see his son, but he had to pay respects to the Old Madame because of filial piety. "Husband, he's fine now." She looked at her husband lovingly.

The Old Madame naturally noticed the appearance of these couple who had a deep love for the flounder. The Old Madame felt that this daughter-in-law didn't understand the gist of the situation and only knew to display this affection.

When everyone returned to their seats in the east wing, Nangong Qin's gentle gaze first fell on Nangong Yue, filled with concern, "Yue'er, you've just recovered from your illness. It seems that you don't have a good complexion. Are you feeling well?"

Nangong Yue shook her head and replied with a smile, "Thank you for uncle's concern. Yue'er is already well." Even though she said so, anyone with a discerning eye could see that she was weak. Madame Lin looked at her daughter, unable to conceal the pain in her heart.

Nangong Qin paused and looked towards the Old Madame. He suddenly said, "Mother, this Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng was originally owned by sister-in-law. Since Yue'er is not feeling well, it should be given to her."

Hearing this, the Old Madame's expression changed. This Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng was a tool she planned to show good will to the Imperial Family. How could the interests of the entire clan be comparable to a young lady of no great importance?

It had to be known that the severely ill Consort Liu was doted upon, and had a prince as well. In the future, it was not impossible for her to hold the most prestigious position. If he presented the Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng and saved Liu Fei's life, the Emperor would definitely remember their Nangong family's achievements and the Nangong family's status would also rise.

Naturally, Nangong Yue could see through her grandmother's thoughts. The corners of her mouth slightly lifted at a angle that no one could see, as she mocked in her heart, "Thank you uncle, Yue'er is fine now. She doesn't need the Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng.

"Lady Liu has been ill for a long time, so she definitely needs it more than Yue'er. " Because her brother had drowned in her previous life, she had suffered a severe injury.

As a result, her grandmother had no choice but to return the Mystic Yellow Linglong Ginseng to her mother for her to consume.

Only then did the Old Madame's complexion relax slightly. When they looked at Nangong Yue, there was a hint of liking in her eyes. She felt that this granddaughter had become smarter and more crafty after a serious illness.

Since Nangong Yue said so, Nangong Qin didn't force her.

After tossing and turning for the greater part of a day and everyone bid their farewells, they all dispersed one by one. They seemed calm, but all of them had their own thoughts.

After leaving Rong An Hall, Nangong Yue and her parents went to the Second Branch's Drifting Cloud Courtyard to visit Nangong Xin.

Nangong Xin was already 11 years old and should have moved to the outer court long ago, but because of his lack of intelligence, the second branch was worried about him. Thus, the Old Madame allowed the Second Madam to keep him in one of the rooms in the Drifting Cloud Courtyard.

When Nangong Yue and the other two entered the room, it caused a huge reaction from Nangong Xin.

"Mother, father, and sister, you're back!" The young man had already changed into a new set of moon-white clothes, and his hair was neatly combed. His crown jade like face had a pair of black and white eyes, and his pupils were as black as ink.

His eyes were bright and pure as he looked at Nangong Yue and the other two with a carefree smile on his face.

He looks so handsome you can't see anything wrong with him when you're not talking. However, the moment he opened his mouth, a thick sense of childishness would emerge, making people sigh.

Every time Madame Lin saw her eldest son like this, her heart would hurt. He used to be such a clever child. He knew thousands of words at the age of three, recited ancient poems at the age of four, and read four books at the age of five.

When his father-in-law, Nangong Hao, was still alive, he had said that this child was a talent rarely seen in a hundred years. In the future, he would be able to become a marquis, but unexpectedly, such a tragedy happened at the age of five!

Ever since then, every day, she regretted not taking good care of Xin'er. She had always held a glimmer of hope in her heart that one day her father would find a way to heal him and make him recover, even if it meant losing her life!

Madame Lin was momentarily agitated. She hugged her son tightly, but was pushed away by him in disgust. "Mother, I'm older. You can't hug me like this anymore!"

"Alright, alright. Mom won't hug you!" We've heard that our brother has grown up. " Madame Lin did not know whether to laugh or cry as she let him go.

Nangong Xin pursed her lips and looked at Nangong Yue, feeling wronged, "Little sister, why did you come to see me just now? I've been waiting for you for a very, very long time … " He seemed to be afraid that Nangong Yue would not be able to understand his words.

Nangong Yue's eyes reddened. She was about to say something when Madame Lin rushed to the front, "Xin'er, did you forget what mother told you? Your sister is sick, and she needs rest."
