Chapter 511: I Will Listen to the Lady

When An Guo Guo was still very young, the An family had once rescued a little girl, and on the girl's back there was a birthmark of a red sword.

It was quite distinctive, and the Princess Consort kept it deeply in mind.

So many years have passed, I never expected that birthmark to appear again, and moreover it appeared on Yue Yue's body.

"Tomorrow we will go to the Regent Prince's Manor." The Princess Consort sat up excitedly, but then that dizzy feeling surged over her again.

An Guo Guo hurried to support her, "Mother, take it slow, don't rush."

"Yue Yue won't leave, it's just that the Regent's Consort dotes deeply on the two children; whether it's Yue Yue or Ning Hanmo, she raised them little by little, guiding them to grow into adults."

"The Regent Prince's Manor side may not be willing."

Prince Yong'an sighed, and the places he worried about were precisely these.

"We still have to go; we must let the Regent's Consort know our attitude." Prince Yong'an looked at his daughter.

"Guo Guo, the Yong'an Prince's Manor has few people; from now on you will have to bear much, are you willing?"

An Guo Guo smiled, "As long as you don't make me marry, I'm willing to do anything."

The An family people, they had said a lot.

Early the next morning, the visit card from the Yong'an Prince's Manor had already been delivered.

Jiang Yun Chu, just like last time, directly replied in return.

"Have you decided?" Jiang Yun Chu looked at her daughter.

Ning Chengyan had finally succeeded in his advancement yesterday, woke up, and Jiang Yun Chu showed him Yue Yue's background and the investigative data, all in one go.

"I want to respect the child's opinion; everything depends on Yue Yue's choice, what do you think?" Jiang Yun Chu looked at him; a few days had passed, his beard had grown out, his face bore a touch of weariness, yet more of a manly charm.

Ning Chengyan pressed a deep kiss on her forehead, and after a long while he softly said, "I will listen to the lady."

Young Princess Consort, that is her nickname.

But he would rather be an ordinary couple with her.

All this turmoil, when will it ever pass?

Jiang Yun Chu smiled, "Go wash up, you reek."

Ning Chengyan reluctantly let go of his wife, then sniffed, "Indeed it's a bit smelly; I'll go first, husband."

"Regent Prince, Regent's Consort." Prince Yong'an, accompanied by the Yong'an Princess Consort, with An Guo Guo also at his side.

Ning Yue Xue looked at the three people, performed a proper salute, and said, "Ning Yue Xue has met the Prince, the Princess Consort, and Princess An."

Before she was called Guo Guo elder sister, but now she has changed the form of address.

An Guo Guo's heart gave a sudden jolt.

"Please sit in the courtyard; tea has been prepared. No matter what we say, we can't stand outside the gate—what kind of sense would that be?" Jiang Yun Chu made way, lightly laughing as she introduced.

After they sat down, for a moment everyone's hearts were somewhat uneasy.

"I will not leave the Regent Prince's Manor."

As Prince Yong'an was thinking about how to speak, a young girl's voice spoke up from the side.

She lowered her head, looking at the teacup in her palm; no one could know her expression.

"Since I can remember, I have been in the Regent Prince's Manor; it is Mother who raised me little by little. When I was sick, when I was afraid, when I felt wronged, Mother was always with me."

"Now I have grown up; it is my turn to accompany Mother."

"No matter if I am of heavenly nobility or common folk, no matter my origins, I am Jiang Yun Chu's daughter."

When she spoke her final words, she suddenly lifted her gaze; a pair of eyes somewhat reddened yet resolute flashed into Prince Yong'an's sight.

Like, so much like.

When her son made a decision, he had the same expression.

"I have said all that needed to be said." After Ning Yue Xue finished speaking, her whole person seemed to relax.

Jiang Yun Chu gave a light smile, then said to the Yong'an Princess Consort, "This child values feelings deeply; please, Princess Consort, do not blame the child."

"No blame; it's that we failed to take good care of her, we failed to discover her early—these are our faults." The Yong'an Princess Consort looked at Ning Yue Xue, that girl as lovely as carved jade, and said the mistake lay with the An family.

At that moment Ning Yue Xue stood up, holding the teacup in her hand and extending it forward, "The Yong'an Prince's Manor is not at fault; Mother told me that you didn't even know of my existence, so how could you have sought me out or cared for me?"

"Fate plays tricks; I have never blamed the Yong'an Prince's Manor."

"I only wish to be Jiang Yun Chu's daughter."

Wealth and money, status and position—she cares for none of them; her wish is simple, merely to be Jiang Yun Chu's daughter.

The Yong'an Princess Consort looked at Jiang Yun Chu and softly sighed, "Regent's Consort, I know our appearance now has disturbed your lives."

"But I had to come, and I cannot stay silent."

"Yue Yue has grown so fine; it must be that you have poured much effort into it, enabling Yue Yue's present state."

"I will not thank you, for Ning Yue Xue will always be your daughter."

When she spoke those words, not only Ning Yue Xue and Jiang Yun Chu, but even the two people from the An manor suddenly lifted their heads—how could this differ from what we discussed at home?

"But Yue Yue, the Yong'an Prince's Manor will always be your home."

"You may have two homes; whenever you wish to return, I will welcome you; whenever you wish to leave, I will see you off."

"I do not want to force you; merely knowing you exist already fills me with great delight."

"I only wish for you to live happily, to live blessedly."

"As for whose daughter you are, whose granddaughter you are—what does it matter?"

Just as Ning Yue Xue finished saying those words, she suddenly came to a realization.

She is whose daughter—does it matter?

Yue Yue will forever be my granddaughter; this bloodline can never be changed.

Ning Yue Xue earnestly looked at the Yong'an Princess Consort and asked, "Do you really think that way?"

The Yong'an Princess Consort nodded, smiling gently; her gaze at Ning Yue Xue held even more tenderness.

Yes, it comes from the heart.

Ning Yue Xue glanced at Yong'an Prince and An Guo Guo, "I……"

"You don't need to rush to answer; you can slowly digest this. For you, it's too unexpected." Yong'an Prince hurriedly spoke.

The Yong'an Prince, who was known for being cold-hearted and expressionless, now seemed somewhat at a loss; all his movements were awkward yet endearing.

Jiang Yun Chu rubbed Ning Yue Xue's hair, "Look, everyone likes you very much; it's not that mother doesn't want you, but besides mother, you have gained many relatives who love you just as mother does."

"Yue Yue, you will always be mother's daughter, always."

In this world, the first person who relied on her, the first person she wanted to protect.

Who could replace her position in my heart?

"Regent's Consort, thank you." Yong'an Prince stood up; despite being such an old prince, he actually clasped his hands and made a deep bow.

Jiang Yun Chu hurriedly stood up to return the salute, "Prince, you are too courteous; I only hope Yue Yue has more people who love her."

Moreover, she doesn't know when she will have to leave Da Ning; the only thing she cannot let go of is Yue Yue.

If she had the affection of Yong'an Prince's Wang Fu, then in Da Ning, no one would dare bully her.

Ning Yue Xue looked at her mother, then at Yong'an Prince's Wang Fu; her previously anxious heart and fearful emotions have all dissipated at this moment.
