When Yang Ruqing woke up again, Luo Fengtang's figure was already gone from beside her.

She reached out and took the pillow he had slept on, holding it to her chest and inhaling his scent, a blissful curve forming on her lips.

What time is it now?

Where did he go?

She just couldn't figure it out. Last night he was so wild, giving it his all. How could this be him?

Why is he always the first one to wake up?

Doesn't he know how to get tired?

How is physical strength and energy restored?

This is a riddle!

Outside, birds perched on the window sill, chirping loudly.

Sunlight streamed into the room, and the fragrance of autumn osmanthus filled the air.

She let out a sigh of contentment, throwing back the covers and sitting up.

When I got out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up, I realized my limbs were aching all over.

<< Outrageous!

After washing up and changing her clothes, she planned to visit her grandmother-in-law, Tuo Ba Xian, in the front yard.

As soon as she stepped out of her bedroom, she saw Luofeng Tang returning from outside.

At one glance at the expression on his face, Yang Ruqing could sense his dejection.

You should know that Tuo Ba Xian is going back to Daliao, right?

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

She thought to herself, and then walked towards him.

"Where did you go? Why are you so glum?"

She clasped her hands around his arm and looked up at him, asking softly.

Luo Fengtang lowered his eyes to look at her: "Qing'er, you already knew last night about my mother returning to Daliao, right?"

Yang Ruqing was startled for a moment, then nodded. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"I didn't tell you last night because I didn't want you to be sad last night." she said.

>

Luo Fengtang wryly smiled, "But I still realized it early on."

Yang Ruoqing looked at him with worry etched on her face.

Luo Fengtang said, “My mother and I have just been reunited after so long. I really don't want her to leave so soon.”

But, these words of persuasion, I cannot say to her face.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

"I can only whisper a few words to you privately, my daughter-in-law," he said.

Yang Ruqing nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand."

"If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't hesitate either. But your mother is not an ordinary woman."

“She is not only your mother, but also the aunt of Emperor Daliang’s younger brother and the Empress Dowager. She is the head of the household.”

"The burden on her shoulders is not something an ordinary woman could compare to," she said.

Luo Fengtang nodded: "I understand, I understand these too."

“Don’t worry, Qing'er. In front of my mother, I wouldn’t dare to do such a thing.”

"Actually, I should be content. I have an elder uncle, a mother, and a daughter-in-law. One shouldn't be too greedy, right?" he asked.

>

Although Yang Ruqing's expression was calm, her heart ached slightly.

>

Family reunions are common occurrences for ordinary families.

But for Luofeng Tang, it turned into greed and desire.

Yang Ruqing suppressed the tenderness in her heart and gently patted Luofeng Tang's hand.

"Mother has returned to Great Liao, but I am still by your side." she said.

“This place, this big courtyard, is our home,”

"In a year and a half, I'll give you a litter of pups."

Let's live our lives happily and prosperously.

When you're free, let's head north together to visit your mother.

“Or we could wait a few more years, until your cousin is older and can handle things on his own.”

"Let's bring your mother over, enjoy our grandchildren together, and share the happiness of family. What do you think?" She looked up at him and asked.

He wore an expression of longing and anticipation, as if he had already seen the scene that excited him.

"Good, good, excellent! I'm waiting for that day!"

“Mother, your foot injury is healed now. However, for this journey north, it’s best if you remain in the carriage and avoid walking as much as possible.”

In Tubo Xian's room, Luo Fengtang sat beside her, watching Yang Ruohua check Tubo Xian's leg wound one last time by the bed.

Yang Ruqing then said, "These two paired with some medicine, I'll bring them to you when the time comes."

“These are wild herbs from the back of our village, Niu Shan. They are made into pills and have good medicinal properties.”

“If I have a headache or fever, I just take something and apply some ointment,” she said.

Tuo Ba Xian smiled and listened, nodding seriously from time to time.

The more she looks at this daughter-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes.

Seizing the moment when Luo Fengtang left, Tuo Ba Xian reached out to grasp Yang Ruohua's hand.

“Qing'er, thank you. You helped persuade Fengtang.” Tuoba Xian said.

Yang Ruqing was taken aback.

Tuoba Xian continued, "Earlier, when I told him I was going back to Daliang, although he didn't show much expression on his face, I could feel his mood drop instantly."

"I don't know how to console him, luckily you're here. I think he's come to terms with it, and I can leave with peace of mind." The woman said somewhat urgently.

Yang Ruqing smiled and clasped Tuo Ba Xian's hand in return.

"Mother, please rest assured, I will take good care of him." she said.

Tuoba Xian nodded repeatedly: "With your words, mother can rest assured."

"By the way, Mother, did Old Man Yan and that Ri Song know about your departure?" Yang Ruqing asked again.

Tuoba Xian said, "I made an agreement with Brother Yan. That day at Song's place, I didn't get a chance to say anything yet."

Yang Ruqing nodded. Tuo'ba Xian was the princess of Liao, so when she would return to Liao was a matter of her word. On that day, Song didn't dare disobey.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! ?

Besides, going back to Daliang would be better anyway. It would save us from having Sun Song remain here and meddle in Yang Ruolan's affairs every other day.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated! ?

“Mother, Qing’er, that day Song came over and said he had something to ask of you!”

Here, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting when Luofeng Tang suddenly came in.

Yang Ruqing let go of Tuo Ba Xian's hand and turned to face Luofeng Tang, "What did he say when he came looking for mother?"

Luo Fengtang shook his head.

Yet, a glimmer of suspicion flashed in Yang Ruqing's eyes.

Could that boy be trying to bring Yang Ruolan back to the Liao Dynasty with him, so he came to ask Tuoba Xian for help?

"Qing'er, what do you want to say?" Tubo Xian suddenly asked.

Yang Ruqing frowned, leaned down, and whispered in Tuo Ba Xian's ear, telling her what she knew and guessed.

Tuoba Xian was slightly surprised and, towards the woman named Yang Ruolan, flashed a trace of disgust.

But then it returned to normal.

“Let him come in first and see what he has to say before we make a decision.” Tabo Xian said.

Soon, Ri Song came in.

Seeing that not only Luo Fengtang but also Yang Ruqing were in the room, Na Song was stunned for a moment, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face.

Tuo Ba Xian sat calmly on the bed, seeing that Ri Song's timid and hesitant expression, she remained unmoved despite her anger.

That day, Song, is there anything you wish to say? Please speak freely.” Tobo Xian said.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

That day, Song glanced at Yang Ruqing again and blushed.

Tuo Ba Xian's voice rang out again in the room: "I am the Chang Princess, and Qing'er is the chief of your clan."

"If you have something to say, please tell us." she said again.

>

This is about speaking on behalf of one's status, not the usual way you interact with each other.

That day, when Song heard this, he quickly straightened his back and posture, assuming the respectful and obedient demeanor befitting a subordinate.
