I see Liu Xi as a cultured and sensible girl; since you like her, you should treat her well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, mother, I understand.” Bai Chen smiled faintly, lowering his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan, Zhan Lan, and their party were rushing back to Lianbian City via the main road, carrying the coffin of Grandfather Zhan Xinzhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan placed her hand on the icy coffin of her grandfather, holding back tears in her eyes as she said, “Grandfather, we’re going home!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She never expected this expedition would separate her from her grandfather by life and death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold northern wind blew against Zhan Lan’s face, while Mu Yan beside her gently touched her cold hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lan’er, come into the carriage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan nodded as the weather grew colder, the ice casket wouldn’t melt, allowing her to transport her grandfather’s body with peace of mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Grandfather surely wanted to be buried together with Grandmother in Ding’an City, and Zhan Lan wanted to fulfill his wishes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan and Mu Yan got into the carriage, and with a heater inside, she felt much warmer. Leaning on Mu Yan’s shoulder, she asked him how he came to Western Rong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan told her about the events of these days in the most calm and steady voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan knew he was glossing over the difficulties, but she understood without exposing Mu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan held Zhan Lan’s hand with one hand and embraced her with the other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhan Lan nestled in his arms, feeling immensely secure and content. Fortunately in this lifetime, her heart wasn’t completely cold; fortunately, Mu Yan was still alive in this lifetime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina and Xiao Chen sat in the same carriage, Gai Yina holding the urn of her husband Xiao Yin in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen watched as his mother clutched his father’s ashes as if they were a treasure; if not for her daring to secretly bury them, his father might never return to his homeland.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen furrowed his brow looking at Gai Yina; her face showed few signs of aging, yet her body revealed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s too exhausting for you to hold.” Xiao Chen took the urn of his father’s ashes and placed it in the wooden box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina felt uneasy heading to Nanjin; holding the urn made her feel more at ease, but now with nothing in her hands, she clasped them together, lowering her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, one of her hands was pulled over by Xiao Chen, and Gai Yina’s long eyelashes trembled as she looked up at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen lowered his head, staring at her hand, “Did the King of Western Rong mistreat you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pulled up his mother’s sleeve to find lash marks, guilt and anger made Xiao Chen feel deeply disturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina nervously drew out her arm and said, “It’s nothing, how have you been all these years?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dared not meet Xiao Chen’s eyes, feeling she hadn’t been a good mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mother.” Xiao Chen’s voice reached Gai Yina’s ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina looked up sharply; Xiao Chen called her mother. Years ago, when Xiao Chen left Western Rong, he swore never to call her mother again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son.” Gai Yina looked at Xiao Chen, tears brimming in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen choked up a bit, “You don’t have to worry, once we reach Nanjin I will protect you, no one will harm you again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina smiled softly, she knew Xiao Chen was a kind and loyal child. The King of Western Rong was cruel, rescuing her was not easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago she spent her fortune to have assassins pursue Xiao Chen, forcing him to leave Western Rong to prevent him from being controlled and persecuted by the King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Back then, it was the only choice for mother.” Gai Yina wanted to explain that the assassins were never meant to kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen smiled, “Mother, I know, those assassins only aimed to force me away, otherwise how could I have left Western Rong alive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina looked at Xiao Chen remorsefully, “I’m sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen held his mother’s hand, looking at her brown eyes and exquisite face. His mother was the most beautiful woman in Western Rong; even at forty, she was still stunning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet such exotic looks were not unusual in Western Rong, but in Nanjin she would appear different from others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps this was why his mother was anxious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen reassured her, “Mother, Father’s name is now cleared; you are the wife of a hero. With me, with Zhan Lan at your side, no one in Nanjin will dare to bully you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina felt her eyes well up as a crystal tear fell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her son understood her concerns.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want her presence to cause criticism for Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Son, is Miss Zhan Lan your main general? Your relationship with her is good, isn’t it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen smiled, “It has always been good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like her?” Gai Yina asked, her clear eyes fixed on Xiao Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen’s heartbeat accelerated suddenly; his mother had seen through his affection for Zhan Lan in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t answer directly, so Gai Yina continued, “Is she married?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen lowered his gaze, “She’s married, her husband is the Regent King who rescued you from the Western Rong palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gai Yina observed Xiao Chen’s disappointed expression, “Son, your main general and that Regent King are a perfect match; you will find your happiness too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She spoke frankly, hoping to cut off Xiao Chen’s unrealistic thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Chen awkwardly chuckled, “Mother, I made you laugh; whatever I could do for her, the Regent King can do just as well. Things I couldn’t do for her, the Regent King can still do; son understands.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time he saw Mu Yan risking life and limb for Zhan Lan; even though Mu Yan never spoke of the hardships of the journey, Xiao Chen, who had traversed the same path in escaping, understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surviving that path was fortunate, not to mention Mu Yan repeatedly ventured into Western Rong’s most dangerous tribes and the palace to clear a path for Zhan Lan; all this was witnessed by Xiao Chen, confirming his trust in leaving Zhan Lan with Mu Yan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A man who loves a woman can overlook societal judgments to favor her, protect her, and regardless of her rejections, continue forward, even standing from her perspective to assist her, potentially risking life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mu Yan’s love was even more profound than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the return journey, everyone was lost in their thoughts, most eagerly longing for home, but only one was absent-minded.\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-05T23:35:15.695Z",1,"novelbin.me","b79bd5d03f3a395fd497fb0e48764f145208e2e2f180bad4435be22194f98d26","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-506","reborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-chapter-504",751,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-to-become-a-queen-the-real-heiress-s-come-cover.jpg"]
