Transmigration: From Farmer To Empress-Chapter 2087 - 2095: Unveiling the Truth (1)

On the day Mingzhu and Wanyan Chao returned home, Cai Wei and Nangong Yi returned from the north. Although Nangong Yi had no feelings for Emperor Jin Ming, after all, it was her biological father who passed away, so her mood was somewhat heavy, and the return banquet was organized casually without much fanfare.

On the same day, Mu Caifei, Mu Caidie, and Lady Yuwen also entered the palace to attend the feast. Chong Wu’s wife, Lady Zhang, was pregnant and unable to leave the house, so she did not attend.

Cai Wei noticed that Lady Du was not present and asked, "Why didn’t Mother come?"

Lady Yuwen replied, "Replying to the Empress Dowager, Mother-in-law has been busy these past two days taking care of Lady Dong’s son, so she could not spare the time to attend the banquet."

Cai Wei was surprised and said, "I remember Lady Dong was supposed to give birth at the end of the month. How did she have the baby so quickly?"

"It was premature. The child is frail, and if he weren’t born into our kind of family, I’m afraid he might not survive."

Fei’er also went to see the child. However, for some reason, although she should feel affectionate towards her nephew, she didn’t feel any connection. Her feelings when seeing Chong Wen’s daughter were entirely different.

Die’er said, "It’s a son, the eldest grandson of our Mu Family."

Upon hearing this, Cai Wei involuntarily frowned. The eldest grandson of the Mu Family was actually born of an improper concubine, and now the Mu Family’s reputation was truly tarnished.

Lady Yuwen said, "Mother-in-law feels sorry for her sister-in-law and is afraid bringing the child into the mansion would upset her, so the child has been raised in a house outside. The child is weak and cries day and night, and Mother-in-law has been running back and forth for the past few days, which has been quite exhausting for her!" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Cai Wei thought for a while and said, "I’ll go and see the child later. Regardless of his mother’s situation, he is a member of our Mu Family. As his aunt, I should go and see him."

The attendees of this return banquet were all royal family relatives. Besides the Mu family, the entire Mo family was present as well, to bid farewell to Mingzhu, as she was leaving the capital with her husband for the Qing Luo Kingdom the next morning.

Mo Zili was also there, sitting in his seat, drinking cup after cup of Emperor’s wine, looking at the handsome Wanyan Chao with bitterness and remorse in his heart.

Although he had already compromised with fate and had several children with Huan Yun, he hadn’t forgotten her for a single moment in over ten years.

In the wake of midnight dreams, he often dreamt of her—her smile, her tears—all so precious in his heart, far more valuable than the rarest pearls in the world.

However, longing and regret were of no use. In this lifetime, he was destined to lose her and could only spend it in yearning and remorse. He wished that in another life, he could meet her again. If there is an afterlife, he would find her early and marry her into his home, holding her as a treasure in his hands, loving her and cherishing her, never letting her shed a single tear for the rest of her life...

Xiang Yun is very happy now. For so many years, she has been the only one in the harem of Qing Luo Palace, and she has not let down Wanyan Jingchen’s affection for her, having given him five sons. Although the absence of a daughter is a regret, she had long decided to treat Mingzhu as her own daughter and cherish her.

Empress Dowager Na Muhan and the Retired Emperor are still alive, but their health isn’t great. Fortunately, their five grandsons are very filial, always surrounding them and allowing them to enjoy the happiness of family, even making them forget the ailments in their bodies.

This time, Wanyan Chao came to Great Jin for the wedding. Originally, the Retired Emperor and the Empress Dowager also wanted to come along. They were getting older and didn’t have many days to go out and relax, and this was a good opportunity to do so. However, upon receiving news that the prince of Liaodan unexpectedly set an ambush on the way, intending to rob their granddaughter-in-law, the elderly couple immediately gave up the trip, summoned their secret guards and assassins hidden in Jianghu, preparing to give that reckless boy a lesson to prevent any actions when he later ascends to the Khan’s position.
