Traveling through time and space to become the richest woman and falling in love with the young mast

Chapter 168 Don’t act so recklessly anymore

When her fingertips touched Zi Li's soft hair, Yu Jing's movements became more gentle. She slowly stroked Zi Li's hair, as if she wanted to use this delicate touch to convey the warmth and care deep in her heart to the poor child in front of her.

At this moment, Zi Li seemed particularly well-behaved and sensible.

Her big watery eyes stared at Yu Jing, then she opened her arms without hesitation and hugged Yu Jing's neck tightly.

Her petite body seemed to have found support, and she nestled gently in Yu Jing's arms.

Then, she gently leaned her small and delicate head against Yu Jing's neck, feeling the warmth coming from Yu Jing's body.

Dongfang Qingmo and Qian Shuishui looked at each other and tacitly remained silent.

At this moment, Zi Li's thin, soft voice rang out in the air: "Auntie..."

Sister Qingmo had taught her on the carriage that when she met her parents, she should call them uncle and aunt.

When Yu Jing heard this voice, she felt even more sad.

What parent would be willing to throw away such a cute child? !

Really ignorant.

She hugged Zi Li tightly and said softly, "Come in and sit down! Xiaoyan, send someone to inform the old lady."

After saying that, he started walking towards the house.

Seeing this, Xiaoyan, who was following behind, quickly stepped forward and responded respectfully, "Yes, ma'am."

Then, she began to greet everyone with swift movements.

After a while, everyone walked into the house.

Yu Jing first arranged for everyone to take their seats, and then ordered the servants to quickly serve steaming hot fragrant tea and exquisite and delicious snacks.

For a moment, the room was filled with the faint aroma of tea and the sweet fragrance of cakes.

"It still feels better to be at home!" Dongfang Qingshui sat down heavily on his favorite old but extremely comfortable rattan chair as if relieved, making a creaking sound.

He leisurely picked up a cup of steaming hot tea, first gently blew away the heat on the surface, and then carefully took a sip, feeling the warmth slowly sliding down his throat. He relaxed completely and couldn't help but sigh.

Dongfang Ti smiled and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's natural."

Yu Jing asked with concern: "Qingshui, why did you suddenly come back from the grassland?"

When this topic was mentioned, Dongfang Qingshui, who had originally looked very comfortable and happy, suddenly changed his expression, as if he recalled a painful memory that he could not bear to look back on.

He slammed the teacup in his hand down on the table, and a little tea in the cup splashed out, wetting the table.

Then, he started to pour out his troubles to everyone as if he had opened a chatterbox.

He recounted in detail the various hardships, dangers, and grievances he had encountered since leaving Zui Xiang Lou, including the bad weather on the grassland and the traps set for him by those with ill intentions.

When he got to the emotional part, his voice even choked up.

The more Yu Jing listened, the more frightened she became, and her heart was in a knot.

When she heard that the woman named Ayuan was so hateful, she couldn't help but curse angrily: "This Ayuan is really too much! How can she treat us Qingshui like this!"

Dongfang Ti, who had been listening quietly, was surprised at this moment, and wondered in his heart why he had never heard Qingshui mention these things to him before.

Dongfang Qingshui continued, "Fortunately, Mo'er showed up in time to help me this time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous... I might even lose my innocence..."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jing immediately turned around and scolded Dongfang Qingmo, "Mo'er, you're being too reckless! You actually ran off to such a dangerous place like the grassland all by yourself. What would your parents do if something happened to you?!"

Dongfang Qingshui pouted. Why did his mother care about this? Isn't it a good thing that Mo'er went to the grassland and rescued him?

How did it become like this? ! !

Is he his biological son?

Dongfang Ti coughed lightly and looked away.

He's an accomplice.

Faced with his mother's sudden rebuke, Dongfang Qingmo widened his eyes, his mind full of question marks, and he secretly complained in his heart: How come the war has suddenly spread to me!

Before she could open her mouth to explain, Zi Li blinked her bright eyes and stepped forward: "Aunt, please don't be angry anymore. Zi Li has always been protecting Sister Qing Mo well!"

Hearing this, Yu Jing couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and her heart was full of doubts.

She wanted to ask a few more questions, but for some reason, she swallowed the words back and just smiled and replied, "Really? It seems that our Zi Li is really amazing."

Dongfang Ti curled the corners of his mouth slightly. He had personally witnessed how powerful Zi Li was.

But at this moment, facing his sister-in-law, it was difficult for him to explain more.

Dongfang Qingmo felt she would be in trouble if she didn't explain herself clearly, so she took a deep breath and mustered her courage. "Mother, I had no choice but to do this. I was just worried my brother would be in danger, so I rushed forward without hesitation... Also, I've had a wonderful encounter recently, and now I have enough ability to protect myself. Please rest assured, Mother."

After hearing Dongfang Qingmo's sincere words, the expression on Yu Jing's face finally eased a little.

She gently warned, "Even so, don't act so recklessly next time, understand?"

"Yes, mother, I will remember it." Dongfang Qingmo nodded quickly in response.

At this moment, Xiaoyan, who had gone to report the news to the old lady, returned in a hurry.

She bowed slightly, then said softly, "Madam, the old master and the old lady are extremely happy to hear that the young master and the young lady have returned. They are now rushing here at full speed."

Not long after, a loud noise came from far away.

Immediately afterwards, surrounded by many servants, Dongfang Yiba and Qin Huailan finally stepped into the house.

When Qin Huailan saw Dongfang Qingmo, her eyes instantly became moist, and her eyes were full of heartache. She murmured, "My poor granddaughter, you must have suffered a lot outside these days."

After saying that, he quickly stepped forward and gently took Dongfang Qingmo into his arms.

Yun Niang, who had been following Qin Huailan closely, stared at Yun Mei who was standing beside her.

Yunmei felt Yunniang's concerned gaze and immediately responded with a reassuring smile.
