. At that time, he will either be banished or serve ten to twenty years of hard labor. Don't blame our family for not giving you a heads-up beforehand!"Zhao Yuru's arms were trembling, and tears welle..."Mother! Grandmother!" He couldn't wait for the dockworkers to set up the gangplank, he jumped straight from the bow of the boat and rushed forward, falling onto his knees before the Li family.

"Mother, grandmother! Unfilial son An'ge'er has returned!"

"Angie, Angie!" Li Laotai and Tao Hongying rushed forward, hugging Jia'an and bursting into tears.

Tao Hongying wished she could stuff her son back into her belly. Only then would she feel certain he was alive, that he was safe beside her.

For nearly three years, a thousand days and nights, she soaked through how many pillows, had how many nightmares.

Finally, finally, my son is back!

A healthy and safe son without a missing nose or eyes!

Lao Li was also crying so hard she couldn't catch her breath. The Li family wasn't short of grandsons, and now there were even several great-grandsons.

But each and every one of them is a concern for her!

Especially the two boys, Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ, were the most mischievous and also the ones she scolded the most. Naturally, they were also the ones she cared about the most.

Back then, in Xinzhu, her thoughts were still light.

Since arriving in Quanzhou, witnessing the vastness and danger of the sea, she truly felt heartbroken.

She wished she could implore every god and Buddha, and before going to sleep each day, she would secretly kowtow eighty-one times, all for the safe return of her grandson.

Now, finally my wish has come true.

"Ah, Ang'er, we won't be leaving anymore. At least until grandma goes to see your grandpa, then you can go out to sea again. Grandma is old, she can't stand being frightened like this!" Li Laotai patted her grandson's back, feeling both angry and heartbroken.

Tao Hongying was even more impressive, pinching her son several times.

"You little wretch, you're going to scare your old mother to death! Wooo, both you and your father are no good! You go out to sea, and he goes off to war, your poor mother’s heart is about to break into pieces! Do you not want me to live"

Hui Niang and Liu Saozi, Wen's wife, all followed wiping their tears.

Mrs. Wen quickly persuaded, "Sister-in-law, Hongying, please don't cry anymore. It's good that the child is back. Don't worry from now on, we are all together as a family."

"That's right, it's good that you're safe and sound."

Just as Liu's wife was about to speak, a tall woman in a silk skirt and veil, leading a young child, walked over.

She quickly reminded everyone, "Auntie, it seems... there are guests"

Guest!

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned to look. They speculated that this woman was from a foreign country, for her attire and bearing were quite different from those of Tianwu people.

Tao Hongying's eyes were sharp, she took a few careful glances and suddenly said, "Oh my, this child resembles Xingxing somehow"

Everyone was reminded, and couldn't help but nod in agreement.

The woman was a little anxious and blurted out, "I... I want to add some more."

Everyone was confused and didn't know how to respond.

Then the woman pointed at An Ge'er, who was wiping her tears. Before she could say another word, Tao Hongying had come to her senses. She immediately pulled her son's ear and scolded: "You little wretch, did you go out there and get married and have children!"

Jia An winced in pain, tilting his head to glance at the woman and child. He suddenly understood and quickly cried out, “Mother, it wasn’t me! It was Xi Ge, his daughter-in-law, and his son!”

Good news!

Tao Hongying thought for a moment, Jiaxi hadn't mentioned it before.

Such a big deal, there's no way he could keep it to himself, so...

"You little brat, you dare to lie! You're all talk and no action. Don't ever say I'm your son again!" Tao Hongying really put her strength into it.

Even though Jiā’ān is usually strong and imposing on the seas, he's now just a meek little kitten begging for mercy under my command.

"Mother, I truly didn't lie. They are the children of Xi Ge's wives, even the queen and prince of the Divine Buddhist Kingdom!"

Old Li was about to tell her grandson a story, but upon hearing this, her legs felt weak.

Fortunately, Jiaxi finally arrived at this time.

After watching for a while, the crowd of onlookers almost unanimously asked.

"Jiaxi, is this woman and child your daughter-in-law and child"

Jia Xiling was stunned and subconsciously shrank his neck, replying, “That… Didn’t my uncle tell the family these past two days This is my wife and child…”

“You little rascal!” Zhao Yuru was furious now, raising her hand to slap her son on the back. “Your older brother made a fuss about this before, and I thought you were better. But it turns out, you're just as bad!”

"He also has to tell his family before getting married, what about you Take a trip back and bring your wife and children!"

Jiaxi immediately took hold of her mother's arm and coaxed her with a smile, "Mother, mother, I was wrong! I should have told the family sooner, but it was really inconvenient to contact them outside. "

Ai Bei is the princess of Jinfo Country. She helped me a lot when I was injured and took refuge in their country, almost saving my life.

"I married her, and when I came back from sea, to fetch her, I found out that she had also given birth..."

Zhao Yuru listened from beginning to end, from anger to her eyes turning red.

She knew her son was dangerous out there, but she had no idea he'd almost lost his life.

This foreign woman before me is not only my daughter-in-law, but also the savior of my son. Moreover, she has even brought back my grandson...

She couldn't help but look at her mother-in-law, "Mother, this boy from our family is indeed clueless, but he has also suffered..."

“Before she could finish, she was stopped by Old Mrs. Li, who chided her, ‘This is a happy event, don’t worry me! Whose grandson is as capable as my grandson He even married the Queen!’”

Having said that, she beckoned to Jiāxǐ: “Quickly bring your daughter-in-law over so grandma can take a look. And grandma’s great-grandson too!”

"Good, Grandma!" Jiaxi hurried to the woman's side and chattered away for a while, finally one by one, she pulled her husband and children forward.

The woman bowed a little clumsily and said, “Aibi to Nana-wen.”

The little child spoke very clearly, and said crisply, "Hello Grandma, my name is Wenwen."

"Oh, good, excellent!" Li Laotai was overjoyed. She patted Aibei's hand and then bent down to hug Wenwen, smiling and saying, "No wonder everyone said Wenwen looks like Xingxing. Their fathers are brothers after all, how could they not look alike!"

Everyone also laughed, Zhao Yuru was not yet familiar with her daughter-in-law, but towards her grandson, there was a closeness that came naturally from blood.

She quickly took Wenwen from her mother-in-law's hands. Looking at the child who was a bit tanned and thin, with a face full of worry, she kept coaxing, "Wenwen is back home, grandma has made delicious food for you! It's all your unreliable father's fault that he only brought you and your mother back!"

The crowd was talking, but Ai Bei couldn't understand them. Especially after her husband and younger brother had been pinched and beaten just now, she had been on edge.

But at this moment, everyone was laughing and held her son. She finally felt relieved.

At this time, General Tang Lao and the magistrate came to pay their respects accompanied by Li Zhensheng and Jia Yi.

The divine realm is not as grand as the Heavenly Martial, naturally.

But Aibé was a queen of a nation, and in etiquette, she was on an equal footing with the emperor.

So, General Tang and the magistrate were both very polite.

Jia Xi stepped forward to help translate. Just moments ago, Ai Bei was still full of anxiety and caution, but now he straightened his spine and his expression was filled with nobility and pride, as if he were a different person altogether.

Li Lao Tai and the others watched from the side, finally feeling a bit more real about having the Queen as their granddaughter-in-law...play with Qingqing and the others. Come visit more often when you have free time.""Alright, Grandmother, next time I'll bring the softest and sweetest pastries from Baiyun Pavilion to show my respect...
