In the flower hall where the banquet is held.

Madam Luo looked at her daughter and granddaughter with great concern, and discussed with Madam Zhu: "Otherwise, let Miaoyun's eldest brother come to the Marquis' Mansion to pick up the child. Look at our Yao'er, she is so scared."

Madam Zhu forced a smile and said gently, "Don't worry, madam. We have sent people to investigate inside and outside, and there is no suspicious person. Maybe it is just as Chongyao said, that Yao'er was accidentally injured by a piece of debris that fell from somewhere."

Shen Ruyao was extremely frightened. She knew very well that she was hit in mid-air just as she was about to attack Shen Chaoning. It couldn't be a coincidence at all!

But she couldn't tell her grandmother and the others what she was thinking. She held her mother's sleeve tightly and said, "Mother, I'm not lying. Someone really hit me, and the force was obvious. I felt it clearly!"

There was no need to hide it. Shen Ruyao burst into tears, her fear naturally pouring out: "Is he coming for me? Mother, is he going to kill me?"

Luo Miaoyun was so frightened that she hugged her and said in a feigned anger: "What nonsense are you talking about? With mother here, I don't think anyone can do anything to you."

With red eyes, she looked at Old Madam Zhu: "Mother, look at Yao'er, does she look like she is lying? Yao'er is young and naive, do we elders really want to argue with her?"

"For things like this, it's better to believe it than not to believe it. If she and Ying'er are really hurt, I, as their mother, will not live any longer!"

As he said this, he began to weep with his daughter.

Looking at her daughter-in-law and granddaughter crying in front of her, Old Lady Zhu felt a headache. She didn't understand why a wedding banquet that was supposed to congratulate Chongyao on his promotion turned into such a mess?

She raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, saying tiredly, "Okay, okay, stop crying. Let me think about it carefully."

Just then, Xiu Yu came forward and whispered something in her ear. Old Madam Zhu raised her eyes and asked in surprise, "At this time?"

Xiu Yu nodded: "That's right, he said he was supposed to come here this morning after submitting his appointment, but he was so busy with official business that he couldn't get away. He just finished his office and came here now."

Madam Zhu said helplessly, "Since they have come to our house, can we still refuse to see them? Go and invite them over. And then go and see if Chongyao and the others have come?"

She turned to face Old Lady Luo and sighed, "Speak of the devil, and he will appear. My dear lady was just talking about it, and now she has come looking for me."

Mrs. Luo was startled at first, then asked happily, "Who is it? Could it be Ju Rui coming?"

Madam Zhu nodded with a smile: "It is Mr. Luo from your mansion. He just came to the mansion directly after leaving the government office. I have sent someone to invite him over."

Hearing that her son had come to visit her, Mrs. Luo immediately gained confidence. She smiled and said, "This child, even though he is so old, he still doesn't know the importance of things. It's already so late, why would he come to visit me?"

Madam Zhu just said, "We are all family, why bother with those empty formalities? He just misses his mother so much that he is afraid that I will bully you."

Everyone laughed at what she said. Her brother was here, and the heavy stone in Luo Miaoyun's heart suddenly fell.

She had made up her mind that if the person who secretly hurt others could not be found, to be on the safe side, she would let her brother take Ying'er and Yao'er back even if it would make her mother-in-law unhappy.

Han Guang was still guarding outside Ning'er's house, while Shen Chongyao stayed outside the courtyard gate, waiting for Ning'er to come out.

Bored, he looked up at the sky and saw a bright moon in the sky, shining brightly.

Such a quiet and elegant scene aroused his deep emotions. Shen Chongyao thought of his own adventures and the honor and disgrace of the marquis's mansion. He thought of the emperor and his wife and children, and he was inspired to write poetry.

As he was stroking his beard and pondering, he suddenly remembered the many questions the Emperor had asked about his biological mother when he was in the imperial court... As a result, when the mother and son met at the banquet tonight, he almost lost his composure.

As Shen Chongyao's thoughts raced, he heard his aunt's familiar voice calling him vaguely, "Yao'er."

"Mother..." He couldn't help but murmur in response. Turning around, he was stunned: what he just heard was not his hallucination!

Under the moonlight, there stood an elderly woman in a dark blue gown, with thin eyebrows and long eyes, and a calm and composed expression. Who else could it be but his mother?
