"Forget it, Yunli, I want to go see my mother and father. Since they have retired and returned to their hometown, where are they living now?" Zhen Huan asked weakly.

Yunli paused. Although he didn't want to tell Zhen Huan, he couldn't hide it anymore at this point.

He could only whisper:

"Lord Zhen and Madam Zhen now live in a small mountain village in Guizhou. Although they are retiring to their hometown, their house in the capital has been sealed, so the emperor sent them to Guizhou."

When Zhen Huan heard this, her face turned even paler and tears welled up in her eyes.

She suppressed her grief and said in a trembling voice: "Okay... then we will go to Guizhou now."

Yunli looked at her distressedly and nodded in response: "Huan'er, I will follow your instructions in everything."

Zhen Huan's heart was filled with longing and worry for her parents. She didn't know how her father and mother were doing and whether they were safe.

She decided to go to Guizhou to visit them in person.

Along the way, Zhen Huan was in a heavy mood and remained silent.

Yunli stayed by her side silently, giving her comfort and support.

After several days of travel, we finally arrived at a small mountain village in Guizhou.

Zhen Huan couldn't wait to get off the car and looked around for her parents. When she saw the familiar faces, she was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Mother! Father!"

When Zhen Yuandao and his wife heard the shout, they were both stunned and puzzled:

How could someone come to this deep mountain? And from the sound of her voice, it was a woman. Zhen Yuandao thought: Although his son Zhen Heng was demoted to a commoner by the emperor, the emperor also said that he could not move around without an imperial edict;

The youngest daughter Yu Rao married far away in the capital, and the eldest daughter Zhen Huan and the second daughter Yu Yin have both passed away. Apart from them, who else would call herself Ama?

Just as the two were lost in thought, a figure ran out from the woods.

She was wearing plain clothes, her hair was casually tied up, her face was pale and covered with tear marks, and she looked very haggard.

When they saw the man's face clearly, Zhen Yuandao and his wife's eyes widened instantly, unable to believe what they saw.

"Father, mother, I am an unfilial daughter!"

Zhen Huan ran towards them crying.

When Zhen Yuandao saw Zhen Huan, tears couldn't stop flowing down his face, his lips trembled and he couldn't speak.

The lady beside him had already burst into tears and hugged Zhen Huan, crying bitterly.

At this time, Zhen Yuandao's temples had turned gray, and his forehead was covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, which was shocking to the eye.

Mrs. Zhen is no longer the stunning woman she once was. Her face is full of vicissitudes and the traces of time are clearly visible.

Zhen Huan regretted her decision at this moment, "Father, mother, I am not dead. I was too willful back then and chose to fake my own death to escape. I have implicated you two. I am an unfilial daughter, an unfilial daughter!"

When Zhen Yuandao looked carefully, he found that Prince Guo Yunli was standing behind Zhen Huan. The two old men knelt down and saluted:

"I, Zhen, have come from afar to pay my respects to His Majesty..."

Without waiting for the two of them to say anything, Yun Li stepped forward and helped the old man up, looking apologetic, "I'm sorry for making you two suffer!"

Afterwards, several people entered the hut. There was no furnishings in the hut, no tables or chairs, not even a bed. The roof was covered with thatch and leaked air all around. Fortunately, the weather in Guizhou was not too cold, but when the rainy season came, the thatched hut was completely uninhabitable.

Zhen Yuandao was embarrassed, and he looked apologetic, "I am old, and I am dying. I am bringing your mother here to suffer!"

"No, it is my unfilial daughter who has made my father and mother suffer!" Zhen Huan took out the money she had on her body. She planned to buy a decent house for her parents.
