With the system traveling through time, the queen always becomes a mother painlessly

"You little brat, I think you're almost forgetting your parents."

Nan Yu quickly said, "Mom, don't be angry. Your son is here to apologize to you."

After all, Ruan Yurou was still missing her son. He hadn't come back for several years, and she had to complain.

Now that she saw her son was safe and sound, the anger in her heart instantly disappeared.

But even though she was not angry in her heart, she could not show it on her face. She snorted coldly and asked, "Why did you bear to come back this year?"

"My son has achieved his goal of going to Liuyun County, so he came back."

"Good boy." Ruan Yurou didn't pretend to be angry anymore. She patted his shoulder and said, "You must be tired after coming all the way back. Go back to the yard and rest!"

Nan Yu instantly showed a gentle smile on her face, "Yes, mother."

Ruan Yurou and Nan Hui had been secretly paying attention to that place since Nan Yu left. They knew that their son had spent four years turning the poor Liuyun County into the wealthy county it is today, and they were very proud to have such a son.

Upon hearing the news that Nan Yu had returned, his good friends Lou Yu, He Yunqing and Ye Lin booked a private room at Yuelai Inn and invited him to a gathering.

As Nan Yu pushed open the door of the private room and walked in, Lou Yu stood up and walked over to him, "Good boy, you've been gone for four years and haven't come back once."

He clenched his fist and prepared to hit Nan Yu a few times, but Nan Yu held his fist tightly and he could not move.

Lou Yu gritted his teeth and said, "It seems that you haven't neglected your martial arts training during the four years you were away."

He Yunqing stood up and said with a smile: "Okay, Louyu, stop making trouble and come and sit down."

Nan Yu let go of Lou Yu's fist, and Lou Yu put his arm around his neck and walked over to sit down.

The four of them had been good playmates since childhood, and they had a very good relationship when they grew up. They had exchanged many letters in the past four years.

Ye Lin poured a cup of hot tea and pushed it towards Nan Yu, "It's cold outside, drink a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up first."

Before Nan Yu could even take a sip of tea, three of his good friends came to him curiously and asked him in detail about what had happened in the past few years.

After answering their questions, he just felt dry mouth.

Looking at the building and wanting to ask something, he quickly said, "Okay, let's have lunch first and talk about other things later."

After lunch, Lou Yu winked and asked, "You have been in Liuyun County for four years. Have you fallen in love with any girl there?"

It has to be said that the man was also gossipy. After Lou Yu asked, He Yunqing and Ye Lin hurriedly looked at Nan Yu with curious expressions.

Nan Yu glanced at Lou Yu and said in a calm tone, "When did you become like a gossipy woman?"

"What gossip?" Lou Yu slammed the table and stood up, "I'm not a gossip."

"Among the four of us brothers, except you, all of us are married and have children. You are still alone. Isn't that why I am curious?"

He Yunqing and Ye Lin nodded repeatedly.

Nan Yu said: "I am very busy every day in Liuyun County and have no time to care about love affairs."

"You didn't have time in Liuyun County, but now you have time! It's just right to take advantage of this time when you return to Beijing to see if there is a woman you like. It's best to settle down as soon as possible."

"Lou Yu is right."

"How about... we hold a poetry reading and invite all the gentlemen and ladies to participate. Then Nanyu will see if there is anyone he likes."

"No thanks." Nan Yu refused and said, "It's the end of the year now, it's not the time to hold a banquet."

He looked helpless as he spoke.

He didn't expect that his mother would urge him to get married at home, and he was still being urged to get married when he got together with his friends, but he knew that they were all doing it for his own good and he didn't find it annoying.

Lou Yu scratched his head and said, "You are right, but there is a chance at this year's New Year's Eve dinner."

"Okay, okay, we finally get together, let's talk about other things instead of focusing on my marriage."

Nan Yu changed the subject.

Finally, they drank a few glasses of wine. He Yunqing couldn't drink much, so he started to feel dizzy after only three glasses.

Nan Yu had someone help him get on the carriage and watched him leave before going back.

When He Yunqing was helped into the mansion by the servants, he happened to meet He Yunxi who had just returned from playing with her friends.

Looking at his brother with misty eyes, He Yunxi frowned and said, "Brother, you know you can't drink well, but you still drink."

He Yunqing opened his eyes and glanced at his sister, a silly smile appeared on his face, "Nan Yu is back, I was so happy that I had a few drinks!"

"What, Brother Nanyu is back?" A look of joy suddenly appeared on He Yunxi's face, and she excitedly grabbed He Yunqing's arm.

"Hiss! It hurts." He Yunqing was so sober for a moment because of the pain from being caught.

Seeing this, she quickly let go of her hand and asked again: "Brother, did you say that Brother Nanyu is back?"

Even though He Yunqing was drunk, he could still feel his sister's excitement, "Well, she's back. Why are you so excited that Nan Yu is back?"

"Ah?" He Yunxi immediately realized that he was too excited just now, and quickly put away the smile on his face and said: "Hurry up and help my brother go back! It's so cold outside, or my brother will get sick."

He Yunqing's mind was in a fuss at the moment. He forgot his question as soon as he asked it, so he had no time to pay attention to whether his sister answered his question or not.

He Yunxi skipped back to the yard, with a smile on her face while eating.

Lord He and Madam He looked at their daughter who was obviously not normal, and then they looked at each other.

Mrs. He put down her chopsticks, looked at He Yunxi and asked with a smile: "Xi'er, did you encounter any happy things when you went out today?"

"Yeah." He Yunxi's eyebrows flew, "It's true that something happy happened."

"Mom and Dad, I'm done eating. I'm going back to the yard first. You guys take your time eating."

Mrs. He wanted to ask something, but she put down her bowl and chopsticks and trotted away, even her back revealing her joy.

"Husband, what good thing did Xi'er encounter?"

Lord He shook his head and said, "I don't know either. The older Xi'er gets, the harder it is to guess her thoughts."

"Could it be..." Mrs. He stopped after saying just two words. She didn't know whether her guess was correct or not.

"What?" asked Lord He.

"Do you think Xi'er has someone she likes?"

Lord He thought about his daughter's behavior and said, "It's not impossible."

"I don't know what kind of person Xi'er likes."

He Yunxi is eighteen years old this year, which is considered old according to the past. However, in the past few years, Nanyan has publicized the bad effects of women getting pregnant and having children at a young age. Those women who got married and had children early thought that their bodies were really the same as the publicity said, and they all hoped that their daughters would be a little older when they got married.
