Xi Yalan cried uncomfortably, and her body was trembling slightly.

As the wife of the Marquis, her emotions have always been restrained.

But when it comes to her daughter, she is at her most vulnerable.

Xia Qianqian stroked her back and comforted her softly: "Madam, don't do this."

"Are you going to keep calling me madam?"

She became more and more aggrieved and cried more and more, "Qianqian, when we first met you, we both took a fancy to a comb with a butterfly mark."

"You gave me that comb. That was our fate."

"After that, you saved my mother's dearest brother. That was the bond between our mother and son."

"In Daxing Temple, when I saw the swaddling clothes and clothes in the box, my heart...my heart was both surprised and sad."

"Surprise, the child I have always missed is still alive."

"What's sad is that in the past eighteen years, I have never been by her side, leaving her living outside, suffering so much, and suffering so much."

"Qianqian, the birthmark on your wrist, your well-preserved swaddling clothes and clothes, such obvious physical evidence, when you still don't recognize me, I don't blame anyone."

"My child, I gave birth to you, but I did not raise you. I am not a good mother."

"And you fell into the water and lost your memory, and you also forgot the existence of those things."

Xi Yalan cried and collapsed on the ground, "I used the private soldiers of the Hou Mansion to help King Xian pacify Fanshan. I want to find Xia Chi and want him to tell the truth about that year and confirm your identity."

"But Xia Chi escaped, and all this became a shadow."

"Obviously, my daughter is by my side, but we can't recognize each other. Who can I tell the pain in my heart to? I..."

She choked with sobs and almost couldn't catch her breath.

When Xia Qianqian saw this, a string in her heart was inexplicably shaken, and she felt sad. She called out softly, "Mother."

Xi Yalan, who was crying, was stunned for a moment, the tears on her eyelashes were shaking.

"Mother!" she called again.

This sound was crisp and loud, and the tears in Xi Yalan's eyes couldn't help but roll down.

"My daughter!"

She hugged Xia Qianqian into her arms and couldn't help crying with joy, "My child, I waited so hard for you to call me mother. It was so hard."

"I'm sorry!" Xia Qianqian apologized very much, "It's my fault."

"No!"

Xi Yalan shook her head, "You're a kind-hearted kid. It's you who can't bear to hurt Li Yunniang."

"I have tested it before. Li Yunniang has always been sure that you are her biological child. If you are not her daughter, then where has her daughter gone?"

"Xia Chi would not leave his biological daughter alone. Then, if the child got seriously ill back then, it is very likely that she would have died."

Xi Yalan's voice choked up again: "My child was pregnant for ten months and raised for more than a month. She was lost and gone. I suffered for eighteen years."

"If Li Yunniang knew that the daughter she had been raising for eighteen years when she was ten months pregnant was not her biological daughter, and her biological daughter was long gone, how could she bear such a blow?"

This is a person who has been caught in the rain, so he desperately wants to hold an umbrella for others.

Xia Qianqian helped her up from the ground, "I wanted to hide my identity until Xia Chi confirmed it. I wanted to protect Li Yunniang, but I ignored her feelings. It was my fault."

Mother and daughter supported each other and came to the side room.

Beside the table in the hall, several stools fell to the ground, and some torn papers were scattered on the ground.

Xia Qianqian helped Li Yunniang sit on a stool, bent down to lift the other stools, and picked up the papers on the ground piece by piece.

Although the letter was torn into pieces, some information could still be seen on the torn paper.

"Don't be fooled."

"Too many impostors."

"She's dead."

"Stop fussing."

"Live your life well."

Xi Yalan couldn't bear it, so she covered the handwriting with her hand and said angrily: "He always said that someone was deliberately impersonating you, saying that I was fooled, and asked me to go back early."

Xi Yalan clenched her hands, crumpled the scraps of paper into a ball, and said with sobs: "When he hears your news, he will only stay in the capital, making speculations and suspicions without any reason, and he doesn't even bother to send someone to check.

No."

The legendary Marquis made Xi Yalan very disappointed.

Xia Qianqian called out, "Mother Rong, bring the water in."

Aunt Rong, who was guarding the door, stepped in.

Xia Qianqian stepped forward consciously, twisted out a square towel from the basin, stepped forward and said carefully: "Close your eyes and let me wipe your tears."

Xi Yalan closed her eyes obediently.

Xia Qianqian calmed down her mood and said calmly: "Mother, actually, even I don't know who my real identity is. If mother wishes me to be your daughter, I will call you mother."

"How could you not be?" Xi Yalan retorted.

"I..." Xia Qianqian smiled and helped her wipe away the tears on her cheeks, then took her hand and wiped away the stains on her hands bit by bit.

"I respect you. If you were my mother, I would be very happy." She said slowly, "Li Yunniang is also my mother. I would not let go of either of you."

Xi Yalan understood what she meant, "My requirements are not high. When we are alone from now on, how about you call me mother?"

"Yeah!" Xia Qianqian nodded.

"Your father doesn't recognize you because he is blind!"

"Then why are you crying so sadly over a blind man's words?" she asked.

This naughty remark amused Xi Yalan, "You are so bold. You have three brothers above you, and they have never dared to comment on your father like this."

"Brother?"

Xia Qianqian sat on the stool opposite, with a flash of longing in her eyes, "Then they must have grown into a pillar of talented people under the pressure of the Marquis."

"You are better than my three brothers!"

Xi Yalan reached out and touched the hair on the top of her head, showing her eyes full of love, "It is obviously a delicate flower, but it grows on the cliff, facing the wind and rain, and doesn't mind at all."

"The reason why my mother is grateful to Li Yunniang is because she doesn't want to make her sad."

"She has raised you so well. Your body has become weak since you were a child, but now you go to the mountains to collect herbs and work in the fields. You have taken off your dusty clothes, and you can still hold a knife in your hand and pull out the arrow from the heart for a craniotomy."

"My child, there are so many impressive things about you. Compared with your brothers who are in the capital and under the guidance of Master Yan, you are not bad at all."

Xi Yalan hesitated for a long time and asked: "Your father asked me to go back to the capital, but I can't worry about you. You...are you willing to go back to the capital with me?"

Her tone is sincere and her eyes are full of expectation.

Xia Qianqian took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Mother, at this stage, I cannot return to the capital with you."

Her polite refusal extinguished Xi Yalan's enthusiasm.
