Chapter 98 "Does Mother really miss me?"
"Seventh Sister~" Lin Qianqian's call sounded extremely affectionate.
Murong Qing and Chen Shuyu were startled by the sudden shout and looked over.
Chen Shuyu looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowed tightly, while Murong Qing's eyes were wide with terror. She instinctively pulled Chen Shuyu towards the house, her panicked movements suggesting she was fleeing something terrifying.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qianqian immediately went forward to investigate, and Xiaodie hurriedly followed, calling out, "Hey~ Miss~"
Lin Qianqian quickly reached out and grabbed Murong Qing's hand, urgently trying to calm her down, "Seventh Princess, please don't get agitated. Let's talk this out calmly, okay?"
Murong Qing was agitated. She waved her hands vigorously, her eyes darting around in a panic, and shouted, "There's nothing to talk about between us! Get out of here! Get out!"
Chen Shuyu stood to the side, looking completely bewildered, and asked in confusion, "Wife, who is she?"
Seeing Murong Qing's agitation, Lin Qianqian moved quickly without hesitation, blocking their doorway. She stood ramrod straight, firmly blocking their path. Her brows furrowed, her expression turning serious, and she stared intently at Murong Qing, saying, "Princess, I beg you, I mean nothing by this, I just genuinely want to have a good talk with you!"
Xiaodie chimed in, frowning and pouting as she softly pleaded, "Princess, my queen is sincere. Please let us in!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing was stunned, her face filled with bewilderment, her lips trembling slightly, uttering only one word: "I..."
Upon hearing the words "Princess Consort," Chen Shuyu seemed greatly shocked. He instinctively covered his mouth with both hands, his eyes widening in disbelief as he exclaimed, "Princess Consort? Huh?" He then turned his gaze to Murong Qing, asking with a face full of doubt, "My lady, are they from the palace?!"
Murong Qing's face was filled with despair, her brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes were fixed on Chen Shuyu, her teeth were clenched, and she slowly nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Shuyu said gently, "Since they are from the palace, we should invite them in for a seat. My wife, why are you stopping us?" After saying this, he warmly invited Lin Qianqian and Xiaodie into the house.
Seeing Chen Shuyu's actions, Murong Qing's panicked and desperate emotions seemed to calm down a little, and she felt a sense of comfort, as if she had found a ray of light in the darkness, which made her feel a sense of security and reliance in this sudden situation.
Chen Shuyu warmly brewed two cups of hot tea for them, handed them over with both hands, and said gently with a sincere smile, "My home is simple, and I don't have anything of the finest to offer you. Please accept these two cups of hot tea as a welcome and to quench your thirst."
Lin Qianqian bowed slightly, accepted the teacup with both hands, and said softly, "Thank you for your kindness, young master. This is enough."
Chen Shuyu then sat down next to Murong Qing and naturally reached out to gently hold her hand. The gesture was gentle yet firm, as if silently telling her not to worry, that he was there for her.
Murong Qing felt the warmth of his palm, turned her head to look at him, and the panic and unease in her eyes gradually dissipated, and her emotions slowly calmed down.
In Lin Qianqian's eyes, this scene was like a peaceful and heartwarming painting.
Lin Qianqian coughed lightly, breaking the silence, and looked at Murong Qing, saying, "Since Your Highness left the palace, everyone in the palace has missed you dearly and hopes that you can return soon. Especially the Empress Dowager, she worries about you day and night, often thinking of you, hoping to reunite with you."
Upon hearing this, Murong Qing looked surprised, her slender eyebrows slightly raised, her eyes filled with disbelief, yet she could not hide the deep longing hidden in her heart.
She parted her lips slightly and asked impatiently, "Mother? Does she...do she really miss me?" Her voice trembled slightly with excitement, and her body leaned forward involuntarily, as if she wanted to get a positive answer from Lin Qianqian immediately.
