Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 468
Chapter 468 Rong Ruo’s Mother
An hour later, the carriage stopped in front of a courtyard.
Before they could get out of the carriage, a small figure quickly rushed to the carriage from the entrance of the courtyard. A joyful voice rang out, “Mother!”
Yun Xiao opened the curtain of the carriage and looked out. She saw a small figure parked beside the carriage. A faint gentle smile flashed through her eyes and she said reproachfully, “Don’t run so fast when you walk. If you fall, what should we do?”
“Mother, don’t worry, Ruo Ruo won’t fall!” Rong Ruo’s face was filled with excitement. He had been looking forward to it for several days, but he didn’t expect his mother and the others to finally come back. “Mother, you don’t know, Ruo Ruo is so annoying in Mei City. Mother and father have been on the road for so long, leaving me here alone.”
Yun Xiao laughed, “Aren’t you still accompanied by Rong Xun?”
‘”Don’t mention him to me.” A strange expression flashed across Rong Ruo’s palm-sized face. Then, she said as if nothing had happened. “Mother, if someone has already taken care of the house, come down quickly.”
Yun Xiao replied. Rong Jin carefully protected Yun Xiao’s protruding lower abdomen and got off the carriage. Chun Mei and Chun Lan also quickly got off the carriage.
As soon as her foot touched the ground, Rong Ruo immediately approached Yun Xiao. Her soft hand touched Yun Xiao’s lower abdomen, and a trace of surprise flashed through her eyes. “Mother, it’s only been a month. I didn’t expect your stomach to become so big. Is your younger brother going to come out to accompany Ruo Ruo?”
Yun Xiao was embarrassed. She rubbed Rong Ruo’s hair and chuckled, “It will be more than a month. I didn’t expect our Ruo Ruo to be so eager for her younger brother to be born.” Actually, Yun Xiao would rather have a sister. If she was a sister, she wouldn’t have to worry about anything in the future.
“Another month,” Rong Ruo’s expression was somewhat lonely.
“How long are you guys going to stand here?” Suddenly, a sneer sounded, and his voice was indifferent and cold.
Yun Xiao raised her head and saw a man wearing a black python robe standing at the entrance of the monastery. The man’s face was still wearing the ebony ghost mask. The mask emitted a faint silver light under the sunlight. It seemed that people unconsciously wanted to retreat.
Yun Xiao frowned and bowed slightly in Rong Xun’s direction.
However, at this moment, the sound of carriage wheels rang out not far away. A luxurious carriage quickly stopped and a woman wearing an icy blue dress jumped out of the carriage. The woman was originally going to walk this way, but just as she took a step forward, she was stuck in place.
Everyone at the entrance of the monastery looked at Mu Xuan, who was not far away. They didn’t expect that this woman would actually follow them here.
When Rong Ruo saw the woman staring at her with burning eyes, she frowned slightly. She held Yun Xiao’s hand and pulled Rong Jin. She said softly, “Father, mother, let’s go in. Ruo Ruo has waited for you guys until now and hasn’t eaten lunch yet.” Although Rong Jin and Yun Xiao had already sent people to say that they weren’t eating in the monastery, Rong Ruo still insisted on waiting for them to come back and eat together.
When Yun Xiao heard this, she felt a little guilty, “Alright, mother will accompany Ruo Ruo to dinner together.”
Mu Xuan’s originally stiff body stiffened when she heard Rong Ruo’s soft and waxy mother and father, her entire face stiffened in place. She looked in Rong Jin’s direction in surprise, and there was an instant of surprise in her eyes.
That child was already four or five years old. Although Yun Xiao was suspicious now, it seemed that she was only at the age of a hairpin at most. Four or five years ago, Yun Xiao could not have given birth to a child at all.
However, that child was calling Rong Jin his father!
Her eyes were filled with shock and doubt. She clearly remembered that five years ago, when she was pregnant, she went to tell Rong Xun that Rong Xun had only sent Jiang Li to deliver her a bowl of fetal medicine. At that time, she had indeed drank the fetal medicine, but after Jiang Li left, the Empress sent someone to make her vomit incessantly. She finally spat out all the medicine that had entered her stomach and saved her child.
She was pregnant in October, but she was not happy at all. She originally wanted to use the child in her belly to attract the attention of the two people, but the two people never paid attention to her. If not for the Empress letting her give birth to a child, she would not have given birth to a child at all.
After the baby was born, she told Rong Xun that Rong Xun only looked at her indifferently before turning around and leaving, not even looking at the baby that she had been holding in her arms.
When she was lonely and desperate, she placed the child directly in front of Rong Xun’s palace. She did not believe that the gentle and jade-like man would not save her.
Sure enough, the man who made her worry finally came and carried the baby away. She wanted to talk to him, but he had already left before she could.
Ever since then, she had never seen that child again. She had never seen the child she was pregnant with in October. She had once wanted to kill her child. But now, she did not expect that the child would actually live safely by Rong Jin’s side and call him father.
So his name was Ruo Ruo. Was it the man who gave him the name?
This kind of scene was something she had always dreamed of, and her eyes were suffused with a faint moisture.
However, Mu Xuan’s gaze immediately turned ice-cold, and there was even a thick killing intent in the depths of her eyes!
Why would her child call that bitch mother? Obviously, she was Ruo Ruo’s biological mother!
The unwillingness in her heart drove Mu Xuan forward and quickly walked forward.
However, as she got closer and closer, Mu Xuan’s gaze was deeply attracted by Rong Jin’s indifferent figure. She shook her head and saw that they were about to disappear at the entrance of the courtyard. Mu Xuan quickly rushed over, ignoring the obstruction of the maids behind her, and finally walked in front of Rong Jin and the others. She stared at Rong Ruo with her eyes and whispered, “Your name is Rong Ruo? How old are you?”
Rong Ruo frowned, a strange look in her eyes. “I’m five years old. Who are you?”
“I… I’m your mother.” Mu Xuan stared at Rong Ruo’s face with baby fat. Just now, she was a little far away. She couldn’t see it clearly. Now that she was so close, she could clearly see Rong Ruo’s eyebrows. Although she was still very young, her face looked like Rong Jin’s.
Her trembling hands were about to touch Rong Ruo’s face, but before her hand could approach, Rong Ruo had already dodged Mu Xuan’s touch.
Rong Ruo stared at Mu Xuan. She subconsciously tightened her grip on Rong Jin and Yun Xiao’s hands. She raised her head and looked in the direction of Yun Xiao. She chuckled at Yun Xiao before turning to look at Mu Xuan. “Sorry, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I already have a mother.”
Mu Xuan did not expect Rong Ruo to say such words. Even though she was stunned, she stared in Rong Ruo’s direction in disbelief. She frowned and said, “What did you say?”
Rong Ruo seemed to be so frightened that she took a step back. She approached Yun Xiao’s side and said loudly again, “I already have a mother.”
Mu Xuan was stunned and stared at Rong Ruo in disbelief. Rong Ruo smiled at her and continued to look at Yun Xiao and Rong Jin, “Father, mother, let’s go in.”
Yun Xiao listened to Mu Xuan’s words. At the same time, her entire body stiffened inside and outside of her body due to her words.
She had doubted who Rong Ruo’s biological mother was, but she never thought that Rong Ruo’s mother would actually be Mu Xuan.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Rong Jin. Rong Jin’s expression did not change. A wisp of coldness flashed through his pitch-black eyes, but he did not say a word.
Feeling that Rong Ruo was holding her hand tightly, Yun Xiao looked at Rong Ruo. Although he was very calm and indifferent, there were some words written in his ink-jade eyes.
Through Rong Ruo tightly clasping her hand, Yun Xiao felt a faint sense of heartache in her eyes. However, in this situation, she seemed to be an outsider. She did not even have the status to speak. A faint bitterness surged in her heart, and she tightly clasped Rong Ruo’s small hand.
Rong Ruo nodded slightly in Mu Xuan’s direction. Then, she pulled Rong Jin and Yun Xiao around Mu Xuan and continued to walk towards the gate of the monastery.
Mu Xuan seemed as if she had just woken up from a dream and was about to step forward to block it. However, she had just stepped forward and Qing Mo had already mercilessly blocked in front of her. Her expression was cold and she was not allowed to take a step forward. She could only helplessly look in the direction of Rong Ruo and the others.
After the figures of those people disappeared, Qing Mo also turned around and left.
Mu Xuan’s gaze finally fell on the man wearing a black python robe and a ebony ghost mask who was about to walk towards the courtyard. She quickly walked over and stood in front of Rong Xun. The corners of her mouth curved into a mocking arc as she said coldly, “Crown Prince, do you allow Ruo Ruo to call an irrelevant woman mother?”
Rong Xun looked at Mu Xuan with an indifferent expression, and then said coldly, “Does it have anything to do with you?”
“If it’s my child, why does it have nothing to do with me?” Mu Xuan’s voice was somewhat anxious.
“Your child? Are you worthy of Ruoruo calling you mother?” Rong Xun sneered. Through the ebony ghost mask, the expression in his eyes became even colder. His gaze had never landed on Mu Xuan for a moment.
He showed his dislike from every move he made.
In just a short moment, there was no one at the entrance of the courtyard. Apart from the two guards, Mu Xuan was the only one at the entrance. She stared blankly at the entrance of the courtyard in front of her, her eyes filled with unwillingness.
The two maids walked forward in fear. Seeing Mu Xuan’s current expression, they immediately lowered their eyebrows. However, they could only console Xiaosheng, “Young lady, why don’t we go back first?”
“Go back? Go back where? The son I gave birth to actually doesn’t recognize me!” Mu Xuan took a deep breath, but the dense hatred in her tone could not be wiped away.
One of the maids quickly raised her head and whispered, “We can go find the Empress.” She immediately lowered her eyebrows.
Mu Xuan suddenly laughed loudly. She looked at the maidservant who was speaking and praised, “You’re right. We are indeed looking for the Empress.”
Her child, no matter what she said, she would snatch it back!
