Chapter 299 A Substitute Bride's Brave Love, A Prince Without Heirs Forever By Her Side - 29
"my child."
Her heart, which had been pounding with excitement just moments before, now froze, unable to move. As her parents embraced her tightly, her nose tingled and her eyes began to redden.
"My child, your parents are sorry. We lost you."
Mu Wanwan remained motionless as they held her, tears streaming down her face.
"Father, mother!"
Mu Wanwan called out "Father" and "Mother," and the two elderly people cried even harder.
They searched many places, sometimes even following their peers to their homes, just to confirm whether the child had a butterfly-shaped birthmark on his back.
Often, they are misunderstood by outsiders as bad people, and they have to swallow the hardships of the search for their relatives.
The mother gently cupped Mu Wanwan's face and wiped away her tears. "My good child, seeing that you are still alive and well makes all the suffering of these years seem insignificant."
She was already happy that she wasn't a child abandoned by her parents.
"Good child, your parents will make up for all the love and care you lacked in the future."
"It's great to be able to meet you all again. I am also a child who has parents who love me."
Mu Wanwan was overjoyed and invited her parents into the house. The three of them chatted around the table.
"Wanwan, my poor child! I've heard that your husband is the current Crown Prince?"
Mu Wanwan nodded, "Mother, Yucheng is very good to me!"
Zhuo Yucheng doted on her in every way. Even if she wanted the stars in the sky, he would try his best to pluck them down and give them to her.
Although she didn't have her parents' love before, she felt that she was doing quite well since Zhuo Yucheng came into her life.
Perhaps this is the sense of security that a lover provides.
The mother stroked Mu Wanwan's hand, "Child, our family is actually the leader of the foreign land, and you are the only princess of the foreign land."
Although Mu Wanwan already knew her identity from Zhuzhu, she was still deeply moved when she learned it from her mother again.
"Mother, I just want to be your child. My status is just a symbol."
Although the mother and daughter have been separated for so many years, Mu Wanwan has not gone astray and has a positive outlook, which makes them very gratified.
"Wanwan, can you tell your parents about your family before?"
The father couldn't help but speak up. Having missed his daughter's growth process, even though he wasn't involved, he still wanted to learn more about it.
"Mom and Dad, my previous parents loved me very much! So I had a very happy childhood."
"Master? Why did you deceive them?"
The pig didn't understand. Clearly, its owner had lived a very hard life before the wedding. She was forcibly sent by her family to be a substitute bride to bring good luck. Her family even disregarded her life and had men defile her.
Her owner kept all of this a secret, and Piggy couldn't understand what she was thinking.
“Piggy, I’m already happy as long as I know I wasn’t abandoned by my parents. No matter how bad things were before, it’s all in the past. Those bad people have been punished. Today is the day my parents and I are reunited as family, and I don’t want to make them sad or blame themselves anymore.”
Piggy sighed, realizing that her owner was too kind, always thinking of others.
Since it was her choice, Piggy couldn't say anything more.
“Daughter, where are your adoptive parents now? We brought many rare treasures with us this time. We will visit them in person tomorrow to express our gratitude for raising you so well all these years.”
She hadn't expected them to express their gratitude, and her expression became somewhat unnatural. "Father, they are no longer alive; they have passed away!"
"That's a shame!"
Father lamented that he had wanted to express his gratitude properly, but the person had already passed away.
"Okay, let's not talk about these things anymore. Mom and Dad, tell me about this foreign land, I'm so curious!"
Her mother gently patted her head, "Okay!"
When Zhuo Yucheng's mother heard that the Crown Princess's biological mother had come, she quickly sent someone to the palace to inform her son to come home.
She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. After spending so much time together, she really liked Wanwan.
Moreover, her son is hopelessly in love with her. His father-in-law and mother-in-law have come, but he, the son-in-law, has not yet returned. If anything goes wrong, his son will be devastated.
Upon receiving the notification, Zhuo Yucheng rushed back without stopping, his heart filled with unease the entire way.
The whip struck the horse's rump again, and the horse ran even faster than before.
Upon arriving at his doorstep, he didn't even bother to hand the reins to the servants before running headlong into the mansion.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw the family of three looking very happy.
Mu Wanwan smiled very happily, a smile he had never seen before.
It seems that finding her parents was the right choice.
Someone was standing at the door, and her father was the first to notice that Zhuo Yucheng had returned.
"Wanwan?"
Zhuo Yucheng straightened his clothes as he walked, then strode into the house.
When Mu Wanwan saw her husband return, her eyes lit up, and she got up and ran towards Zhuo Yucheng.
"Yucheng, you're back!"
She threw herself into his arms, and he readily picked her up, spun her around, and gently placed her on the ground.
"Yes! I heard my parents-in-law were coming, so I rushed back immediately!"
Mu Wanwan quickly pulled Zhuo Yucheng in front of her parents, "Father, Mother, this is my husband, Zhuo Yucheng."
She did not use the title of "Crown Prince," but rather "Husband."
Zhuo Yucheng also liked his introduction very much. He put his hands together, stretched them forward, and bowed ninety degrees to the two elders.
"Your Highness, you flatter me."
Father quickly got up and helped Zhuo Yucheng up, saying, "It is an honor for my wife and me to see His Highness the Crown Prince's entourage."
Zhuo Yucheng inwardly cried out in alarm. He had no idea what they were thinking, bringing up principles and ethics at this moment.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I am Wanwan's husband, so you can just call me Yucheng."
He didn't want his current status to create distance between him and his parents-in-law.
"Father, he was the Crown Prince, but now he is your son-in-law!"
"Good daughter, I'll listen to you."
As a doting father, he would never offend Mu Wanwan by saying anything; he had to listen to his daughter.
"Then son-in-law need not be so polite."
Zhuo Yucheng cast a grateful glance at Mu Wanwan, who smiled gently and then sat down in front of her mother.
"Wanwan, go and deal with the things your mother and I sent. We have some things we want to talk to our son-in-law about alone."
Mu Wanwan's parents treated her very well, and because of this affection, she didn't think much of it.
"Then Yucheng, could you keep my parents company for me? I'll be right back."
Zhuo Yucheng nodded, "Go!"
After Mu Wanwan left, the two elders immediately put away their smiles and looked at Zhuo Yucheng, who had already taken his seat, with serious expressions.
