The woman standing by the door was wearing a blue cotton dress and had her hair done in an ordinary bun. She had no makeup on her face, but her stunning beauty could not be concealed.

Qian Manman's almond-shaped eyes widened as wide as possible, "Liu Ma, Ma, Ma, am I dazzled?"

"I seem to be dazzled too." Madam Liu raised her hand and rubbed her eyes. When her blurred vision became clear again, she saw the same scene. She turned around and saw her wife was stunned. She suppressed her surging emotions and asked tentatively, "Are you the second young lady?"

Yan Muxi had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes were shining with tears, "I am not the Second Miss, I am Qian Sanniang, the wife of the Qian family."

I haven't seen my mother for three years. She looks much older and more haggard than before. She is no longer the person who was favored by time.

The moment the voice came out, Qian Manman jumped up on the spot and ran towards where Yan Muxi was. When she arrived in front of him, she was at a loss as to what to do and did not dare to move.

Qian Manman's tears were about to overflow, and she asked very carefully, "Xijie'er, Xijie'er, you are my mother's Xijie'er, right?"

Seeing A Niang so worried and frantic, Yan Muxi's nose was sore, and she had to hold back her tears. "The second young lady of the Yan family and the Crown Prince's wife of Prince Rong have passed away. I can only be Qian Sanniang."

Hearing her denial, Qian Manman's mind was buzzing. She had no ability to distinguish right from wrong and could no longer hold back her emotions. "Wuwuwuwu... You are obviously my Sister Xi, wuwuwuwu... Sister Xi, you are still alive, right? You are still alive..."

Mother Liu, who was standing by, had already reacted. She quickly waved away the servants in the room and closed all the doors of the inner and outer rooms.

The person had returned in a dignified manner, and Yan Muxi was just pretending. When there were no outsiders in the room, she hurriedly comforted him, "Mother, don't cry anymore~"

Hearing the person in front of her really calling her mother, Qian Manman paused for a moment, then hugged Yan Muxi tightly and cried even louder, "Wuwuwu... Xijie, you are not dead, my Xijie is really not dead... But why didn't you come back, why didn't you tell mother, mother thought you were dead, mother thought she would never see you again..."

Yan Muxi gently stroked Qian Manman's back, and waited until the other person's emotions calmed down before explaining, "My daughter won't come back. She can't come back. The Crown Prince's wife has been buried in the royal mausoleum. How can my daughter bear the reputation of deceiving the emperor!"

Suddenly remembering something, Qian Manman's crying stopped abruptly, "Yes! Xijie, you have been buried. No, bah, bah, bah, it's the fake you who has been buried as the Crown Prince of Rong. You can't live anymore. Bah, bah, bah, that's not right either. Anyway, the current Crown Prince of Rong has declared himself the King of Dingbei and openly rebelled against the court. Xijie, you are his Crown Prince's Consort, and you will definitely be troubled by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. While your father is still here, Xijie, hurry up and leave. Mother will take you out of the house safely."

Qian Manman was about to pull Yan Muxi out, but Yan Muxi grabbed her arm and said, "Don't worry, mother. I came back as Qian Sanniang, and I won't be embarrassed."

"Other people are not fools! You say you are Qian Sanniang, are you Qian Sanniang? Not only has your face not changed much from before, but your appearance is so outstanding, you can't fool people." Qian Manman was really anxious. Her daughter had finally come back alive, and she must not let anything happen to her again.

Yan Muxi said with a firm tone: "As long as my father believes it, the prince is willing to believe it, and I am Qian Sanniang."

Qian Manman was not comforted. She was so anxious that her breathing became disordered. "No, Xijie, you can't take the risk. Your father is fine, but if the prince and the emperor find you, they will definitely arrest you and threaten King Dingbei."

"Mother, you always talk about King Dingbei. When did you start to care about the affairs of the country and family?" Yan Muxi smiled lightly, trying to divert Qian Manman's attention.

Qian Manman pretended to slap her, "You can still laugh. If you are discovered, you might lose your life."

Yan Muxi pulled Qian Manman to sit on the armchair beside her and patiently explained, "I have some friendship with the current Crown Prince. This time I returned to Luodu to save my cousin Haochuan. I asked to go to the Crown Prince without worrying about being discovered. Mother, just remember that I am Qian Sanniang, not the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Rong. Don't worry about anything else."

As it concerns her daughter's life, Qian Manman's mind is particularly clear at this moment, "Mother, how could I not know that you, Xijie'er, are friends with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Could your friendship be so deep that it is more important than the Dafeng Kingdom?"

Yan Muxi had never expected that after not seeing her for a few years, her mother would be much harder to fool than before. "I don't know if my daughter's friendship with the prince can be restored, but I can definitely save my cousin's life and my own life."

She didn't dare tell Qian Manman that her life could only be saved temporarily. Yu Wantai was currently entrenched in the northwest and could not threaten Yu Jinzhou's imperial power in the short term. When there was a dispute in the future, she would inevitably become a bargaining chip in the fight for power.

Hearing Yan Muxi's confident words, Qian Manman's anxious heart was slightly relieved, and she asked carefully, "Then, then Sister Xi, if you save Haochuan, will you still leave?"

"I guess I won't leave and will stay in Luodu." Yan Muxi thought to herself. Even if she wanted to leave, she had to leave!

When Qian Manman learned that her daughter was not leaving, she did not feel the slightest bit happy. She had a vague feeling that something bad was going to happen.

Seeing that her emotions had completely stabilized, Yan Muxi talked about business, "My cousin will be executed the day after tomorrow. Mother, please send a letter to my ninth sister in the palace. I must see the prince before the execution the day after tomorrow."

"Sister Xi, are you sure nothing will go wrong when you meet the prince?" Qian Manman became so nervous that she couldn't sit still. She stood up and paced back and forth in circles.

Yan Muxi stepped forward and took her arm, "With daddy here, nothing will happen to my daughter."

"Yes, your father is here, he will definitely protect you." Qian Manman was more comforting herself than comforting others.

When her daughter was young, her husband failed to protect her. She felt that it was understandable that her husband was young and acted inconsiderately.

After her daughter got married, her husband still failed to keep her daughter safe, so she felt that her husband was not completely reliable.

Now, she has no idea whether her husband can protect her daughter.

The mother and daughter chattered for more than an hour. Before Yan Yongchen left the yamen, Yan Muxi went to the main courtyard to see Su.

Ever since the incident between the Su family and Yan Muqing, the Su family has stayed indoors and started worshiping Buddha.

After experiencing great changes, Yan Muxi thought that Su would look haggard, but what he saw was a woman as elegant and graceful as a chrysanthemum.

Seeing that the person coming was Yan Muxi, Su was only surprised for a moment, and then returned to her calm state.

Yan Muxi waved away the servants in the room, "Mother doesn't seem very surprised to see me."

Su knelt on the futon with a faint smile on her lips, "Sister Xi, you are the one who is most like your father. Your mind is hard to fathom. If you died so easily, I would be surprised."
