Chapter 620 Going home

As they approached Lingjia Village from afar, Du Mingxian became somewhat excited at the village entrance.

Although Ling Silang didn't look very expressive, you could still tell he was in a good mood.

Du Mingxian turned around and saw that his expression had changed somewhat, so she couldn't help but tease him, "How are you feeling? Do you feel a little nervous about returning home?"

"Have."

Ling Silang held Du Mingxian's hand tightly, a feeling he couldn't quite express welling up inside him.

Du Mingxian said with a smile, "Keep your emotions in check. You'll be nervous when you see your family later."

Ling Silang chuckled, "I'm not that nervous, it's just that I haven't seen my parents and family for a long time, and I miss them a bit."

"Yes, thinking about them is the right thing to do."

Before they could finish speaking, the carriage had arrived at the Ling family's door.

A voice called out from outside, "Madam, we've arrived."

Ling Silang first lifted the curtain and saw that the door was closed. Xia Yu had already gone to knock on the door, and soon Ling's mother opened the door from the inside.

When Ling's mother opened the door and saw the person she had been longing for appear before her, she was so surprised that she couldn't speak. She hurriedly went forward, first pulling Ling Silang around in a circle, and found that her son was alright.

Her son was standing right in front of her, and she was overjoyed.

When she saw Du Mingxian come out, holding a child in her arms, she gasped in surprise. Perhaps afraid of frightening the child, she deliberately lowered her voice, "This...who is this child?"

This was the first thing Ling's mother said.

"Mom, we're back. This is your grandson, would you like to hold him?"

Tears streamed down Ling's mother's face. She reached out to hug the child, but then remembered that she had been arranging chili peppers in the yard and was afraid of getting them on the baby's blanket, so she hurriedly withdrew her hand.

"Wait a minute, Mom will hold you after she washes her hands."

Du Mingxian chuckled, "It's alright, you can hug me if you want."

"No, no, I just touched the chili peppers in the yard, I can't touch the child again." Ling's mother kept refusing, refusing to hold the child no matter what.

Seeing her like this, Du Mingxian had no choice but to give up.

"Quick, hurry home, hurry home." Ling's mother beckoned the two of them inside, only to find that her son and his companions had been accompanied by people and several carriages when they returned.

She was momentarily stunned. "Are these...these people your friends?"

“These are… servants.” Du Mingxian really didn’t want to say servants, but it seemed that it would be difficult to explain without saying servants. “Mother, I will explain this to you later.”

"Alright, fine. Since you're one of yours, come in quickly."

There was only Ling's mother at home. When Du Mingxian saw Ling's mother, she didn't ask anyone else. Instead, she waited for Ling's mother to wash her hands and quickly handed the child to her, saying, "Mother, take a look at the child."

Ling's mother took the child and held him in her arms, looking down at him with great affection. "Look at this white one, his eyes are like Mingxian's, his face is like Silang's, his mouth is also like Silang's, and his ears are more like Mingxian's."

"Mother is very observant."

Upon hearing this, Ling's mother burst into tears of joy. She looked up at Du Mingxian, overjoyed. "You don't understand. I always thought that Silang wouldn't live past twenty. I raised him with constant worry and anxiety. It wasn't an easy journey."

"After finally arranging a marriage for him, I was worried about him after the wedding. He recovered before you left, but after you left, we received very little news and knew very little about him."

“We were so worried about you, thinking something had happened to you. We just wanted to hear from you every day.”

“Sometimes when you write to us, we can hold the letter and read it for a long time. No matter what you do out there, as long as you two are doing well, I am very happy. That would make our lives worthwhile.”

At this point, Ling's mother tightly grasped Du Mingxian's hand, saying, "Mingxian, if it weren't for marrying you, who knows what our Fourth Son would be like. It's all because of you, my child, you are his lucky star."

“You brought prosperity to our family. Our lives have been better since you came into our lives, and Si Lang’s life has been better too. I was worried about your safety before, but I never expected that you would have a child outside the marriage.”

"Such a big thing, and you didn't even mention it in your letter. It really made us anxious."

Du Mingxian dared not talk about those adventurous things. She couldn't very well say that she went undercover while heavily pregnant, operating right under the enemy's nose. That would be too thrilling.

"I was afraid you would worry, so I didn't dare tell my family about my pregnancy right away. I was thinking that when I came back this time, I could give you, Dad, and my brothers and sisters-in-law a surprise."

"Oh, you, this is such a wonderful surprise! I'm so surprised I don't know what to say!" Ling's mother was truly overjoyed, so happy she didn't know what to say.

The person was in a state of high excitement.

Where are Father and the others?

"They've all gone out to work, and I'm all alone at home." Ling's mother suddenly remembered something as she said this. "Oh dear, I've been so busy talking to you all. I'll go make you something to eat now."

"Mom, no need. We just ate not long ago. We'll all eat together tonight."

Ling's mother was a little upset. "What's the point of eating together? They're all so busy right now. You wouldn't believe it, they're all so capable. It's just this old lady like me who's idle."

As she said this, she glanced at the child, her eyes filled with love, "Mingxian, from now on, Mom will take care of your child. Don't worry, Mom will definitely take good care of her, and whatever you say goes."

Du Mingxian sensed that something was wrong with Ling's mother's current state. Ling's mother wasn't like this before. Could it be that something happened that they didn't know about after they left?

It always feels weird.

"Mother, of course we need your help to take care of us."

Ling's mother nodded happily, but when she saw Dong Shi, she subconsciously hugged the child tighter. "Did you hire a wet nurse for the child and have someone else take care of him?"

"No, I've always taken care of them myself."
