"Mother, I have been waiting for you."

After walking for a few days, they finally saw the capital city. They saw the gate of the capital city from afar. Liu Rouniang was quite excited. It was the first time for her to see the capital city since she was a child. Not only her, but the children were even more excited and chattered, discussing it all the way.

At this time, a man rode forward quickly, dismounted, came to Madam Liu's carriage, and saluted respectfully.

Liu Rouniang looked out the car window and saw that the man was heroic, handsome and strong. He was obviously a military general. Hearing his address, she thought that this man was the uncle that her younger uncle was talking about, there was no doubt about it.

Liu Rouniang's guess was correct, this person was Liu Zhong, the eldest son of Old Lady Liu.

Liu Zhong was born out of wedlock. When Mrs. Liu married General Liu, she had not conceived for three years. Although the Liu family had a pure family tradition and General Liu said that he would not take concubines, General Liu was the only child in the Liu family at that time and he often went to the frontier. Mrs. Liu promoted her maidservant to be her concubine and let General Liu take her to the front line.

So Liu Zhong was born. Unfortunately, Liu Zhong's mother was unlucky and died of illness when Liu Zhong was five years old. She used her last bit of strength to entrust Liu Zhong to Old Madam Liu.

Old Madam Liu always treated Liu Zhong as her own child, educating him and teaching him to read and write, and learning martial arts. Later, Old Madam Liu gave birth to her own children, but she never treated Liu Zhong badly.

However, her two children suffered this misfortune when her daughter was about to become an adult and her youngest son was not yet an adult, so that Old Madam Liu fell ill and was bedridden for many years. Later, she returned to her hometown to recuperate, originally thinking that she would spend the rest of her life like this.

She didn't expect that her youngest son would come back during her lifetime, so she cheered up. Now that her granddaughter has also returned to her side, she forced herself to return to the capital to pave the way for the only child left by her daughter. This can be regarded as fulfilling her last wish and making up for her debt to her daughter.

"Haven't you already written a letter home? Why are you waiting here so far away so early in the morning?" Old Madam Liu felt sorry for Liu Zhong.

Ever since she lost her two children, she was not as concerned about Liu Zhong as before. Perhaps she was too miserable. Later she returned to her hometown and didn't care much about Liu Zhong's affairs. Fortunately, she had chosen a good wife for Liu Zhong before that, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Liu family, Zhou Yahui, who was very prudent in her handling of matters. She was very satisfied and relieved.

Liu Zhong smiled and said, "I was very happy to know that my mother was coming, so I waited here early, thinking that maybe I could see her earlier."

Old Madam Liu was also somewhat moved. The two exchanged pleasantries, and Liu Rouniang and others also got off the car. When Liu Zhong saw Rouniang and others, he exchanged pleasantries again.

The crowd entered the capital city together in a mighty procession.

"Madam, General Liu, we are saying goodbye to you all here. We will visit you one day." Mo Bei stepped forward to say goodbye.

Liu Rouniang was a little reluctant. Are she and Mo Bei going to separate again? Perhaps the shadow of the last separation was too great, so she was afraid of separation from Mo Bei now.

Mo Bei gave her a reassuring look, and Zhang San and Mrs. Zhang followed Mo Bei away.

Just like that, Liu Rouniang brought the children and followed Old Madam Liu back to the Liu Mansion. The two stone lions at the gate of the Liu Mansion were majestic and domineering. A group of female relatives stood at the door, all dressed gorgeously.

Just like the characters in the book, Rou Niang could never have imagined that she would be associated with such a person. The woman at the head was dignified and gentle.

Old Madam Liu got off the carriage and stepped forward: "Mother, you are back."

The other female relatives also gathered around and came forward to greet them. When Rou Niang saw them, she was a little dazzled and could not tell who was who. She only felt that everyone was dressed luxuriously.

Madam Liu smiled and greeted them one by one, then said, "You are all gathered outside the door. Let's go in and talk."

So everyone surrounded Old Madam Liu, and a large group of people walked in in a mighty manner. This Liu Mansion was much larger than the one in Fucheng. As soon as they entered and saw the carved dragons and painted buildings, they saw that Rou Niang was completely different.

Indeed, the servants were dressed in an orderly manner, without any rules. They greeted each other in a proper manner without showing any panic. Although there were so many of them, no one was panicked or curious, pointing and so on.

After everyone was seated, Old Madam Liu and Liu Rouniang introduced themselves to everyone one by one.

"This is your aunt Zhou."

Liu Rouniang looked over and saw the woman who had just come forward to greet her, dignified and quiet.

"Aunt." Liu Rouniang stepped forward to greet him, and the three children followed their mother and stepped forward to greet her: "Hello, aunt."

Great aunt?

It was the first time that Zhou Yahui was addressed like this, and she knew that this was a source of worry for her mother, so she quickly responded.

Because the letter from home had already mentioned that Liu Rouniang and the children would be brought over, she had already prepared gifts and quickly ordered someone to bring them over. However, before Rouniang and the others could accept them, the little maidservant beside her had already accepted them.

"This is your aunt."

The aunt's wife then introduced my aunt-in-law Wu Yingmei, who was also Liu Fufeng's wife.

However, he is a little unstable, and looks playful and cute, but he also has some heroic and boldness. He looks like a military commander. As expected, he speaks in a cheerful and confident manner, but not as gentle and tactful as a lady.

Wu Yingmei greeted Rou Niang and the others, and saw at a glance that Yu Yan was a good candidate for martial arts training. She smiled and said, "You look pretty good, little girl. Come to my uncle's grandmother's place when you have time, and I'll teach you a few tricks!"

Erni naturally agreed happily.

Then Madam Liu introduced: "This is Liu Qingyun, your uncle's son, your cousin."

Liu Qingyun hurriedly stepped forward to greet Rou Niang, which put the three Yurong sisters in a difficult position. Liu Yujin was okay, because although Qingyun was about the same age as her, he was a few months older than her.

But Yurong Yuyan was indeed older than Qingyun, but she had also learned the rules, so she could only call out reluctantly: "Little cousin!"

Liu Qingyun was so happy. He was finally not the youngest in the family anymore. Moreover, he was not a brother but an elder!

Over the years, he had been asking his mother to give him a sister. That way, he would no longer be the youngest, and could be a brother, like Brother Qingfeng. Now that he was an uncle, he was so happy that his face was full of joy, and everyone watching him couldn't stop laughing.

Liu Zhong's wife Zhou said, "I have a daughter who is a few years younger than you. She is your cousin. She wanted to come back today, but something delayed her. I think you will be able to see her tomorrow."

Liu Rouniang nodded and said nothing more.

"Well, our family is finally reunited. Let's have a reunion dinner together today."

"Yahui, have you arranged accommodation for Rouniang and the others?"

"Mother, don't worry. Everything has been arranged. In the Yaju Xiaoyuan, the children's yard is next to Rouniang's. I have arranged all the expenses myself." Zhou said.

Madam Liu smiled and nodded, saying, "I'm naturally relieved by your arrangement. Select the maids and servants who are smart and capable and send them over to serve. Don't neglect them."

Then she said to Rou Niang and the others, "If there are any servants who don't know how to handle things, just suppress them and sell them off!"

This was considered to establish Rouniang's authority in the mansion, and Rouniang nodded in response.
