Chapter 82 Back
Since his injury, Yuan Yi's cultivation had stagnated, and he hadn't been as proactive in his training. In his view, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain. However, this incident made him start cultivating again.
Because he had someone he wanted to protect, to his surprise, his cultivation, which had been stagnant for a long time, suddenly started to move again. This made him doubt that he was imagining things, but after trying several times, it was the same. This made him very happy, so he started cultivating again.
The carriage swayed and rocked its way forward, with Yuan Yi and Du Che taking turns driving, which made things much easier for them.
Ruoshui City, Demon King's Palace!
"Yin'er, it's cold outside, let's go inside and wait!" Mo Yu looked at his wife with some heartache.
"Brother Yu, why hasn't Xuan'er returned yet? Bai Ru sent a message saying he was on his way, but so many days have passed, why hasn't he come back? Could something have happened?" Qingyin looked at the gate, her face full of anxiety.
"Don't overthink it. You know Bai Ru's skills; there aren't many people who can hurt her. Don't worry, something might have delayed them on the way!" Mo Yu reassured his wife. Meanwhile, he was also wondering to himself, "They should have arrived long ago; why haven't they returned yet?"
"That's right. With Bai Ru here, Xuan'er will be fine. It's just that he hasn't returned yet, and I can't help but worry about him. You know that Xuan'er has always been in poor health, and now that it's so cold, I don't know how he is!"
Qingyin leaned against her husband's chest, her eyes red as she looked towards the gate. She blamed herself for being too busy with official duties and neglecting the children, which led Chen'er to do such a thing. Fortunately, Xuan'er was not seriously injured, otherwise she would not know what to do.
"Don't worry, Xuan'er's health has improved a lot over the years. Bai Ru also said in her letter that Xuan'er is doing well, so don't worry too much! Let's go inside first!" Mo Yu carefully helped his wife into the house.
He then poured her a cup of hot tea. Seeing his wife looking so haggard, he felt a pang of guilt. If he hadn't been injured and unable to handle official business, his wife wouldn't have been forced to shoulder this burden for him.
Later, although his injury healed, it damaged his health, making him unsuitable for strenuous work. So he handed the position over to his wife. Day after day, year after year, he found it easier, but his wife became haggard.
"Brother Yu, what are you thinking about?" Qingyin asked, puzzled as she watched her husband standing there in a daze.
"Oh, it's nothing. I was just thinking that if I hadn't passed this position to you, would you be so overworked? You have to worry about the affairs of Ruoshui City and the two children. It's my fault. I didn't raise Chen'er well, which is why he developed such thoughts." Mo Yu was somewhat frustrated. His wife was busy with state affairs, and he should have been helping to take care of the two children.
But he failed to be a good husband or a good father. I am ashamed!
"Brother Yu, don't worry about it. You've helped me enough. As for Chen'er, don't fret. We'll ask them about it properly when they get back." Qingyin patted her husband's hand, comforting him.
"Hey, I was supposed to be comforting you, how come you're the one comforting me now!" Mo Yu pinched Qingyin's cheek affectionately.
"My lord, Your Highness, the Second Young Master has returned!" The demon servant's voice came from outside the door.
"You're back? Where? Quick, quick, take me to see you!" Qingyin heard that her son had returned. She immediately got up and followed the demon servant.
Just as Mo Xuan stepped off the aircraft and hadn't even settled down, he saw a figure walking quickly toward him.
"Xuan'er!"
"Mother, slow down!" Mo Xuan quickly stepped forward to support his mother.
"Oh, you're back! I'm so glad you're back! I've missed you so much! Come here, let me see you. Oh dear, you've lost weight!" Qingyin circled around Moxuan several times, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that he was alright.
"Your Highness, this old servant has fulfilled my mission and brought both young masters back!" Bai Ru bowed to Qingyin and then said.
"Good, good, good, you've worked hard, it's good to be back!" Qingyin held Moxuan's hand tightly.
"It's no trouble at all, it's this old servant's duty!" Bai Ru said with a smile.
"Alright, alright, what are you all standing here for? Hurry up and go inside. It's so cold outside, don't catch a cold! Xuan'er, quickly help your mother inside!"
Mo Yu was worried that his wife would catch a cold. She hadn't rested well these past few days and was already feeling unwell. If she caught a cold, it would be terrible.
"Yes, Father, Mother, let's go inside!" Mo Xuan obediently helped his mother walk inside.
"Alright, alright! Come in, come in!" Seeing her beloved son return, Qingyin felt completely at ease.
Mo Chen stood alone at the back, watching the family of three in front of him, their father and son showing affection and concern for each other. His face was expressionless. He was used to it. No one cared about him. In their hearts, there was only Mo Xuan, not him.
Mo Chen chuckled self-deprecatingly and was about to turn back to his courtyard when a voice called out to him, "Chen'er, what are you standing there for? It's so cold outside. Come inside with your mother!"
Mo Chen stood there, stunned. He couldn't remember the last time his mother had called him so affectionately.
"What are you standing there for? Your mother is talking to you, why don't you come and help her?" Mo Yu glared at his silly son with displeasure.
Mo Chen then came to his senses and quickly took two steps forward, supporting his mother's hand on the other side of Mo Xuan. Mo Chen's hand was trembling slightly, not because of the cold or the pain, but because he was nervous and found it unbelievable.
He hadn't been this close to his mother in so long that he had almost forgotten what that feeling was like.
The family of four helped each other into the front hall. A warm current wafted through the room, and they all instantly felt much warmer. Qingyin didn't ask about the two brothers' affairs, but instead instructed someone to prepare a meal. After the two brothers had eaten and drunk their fill, they were told to go back to wash up and rest, and that they could talk about it again tomorrow.
Because Mo Xuan had gotten used to Lu Jinyan's food during this period, he didn't eat much of what the cooks in the manor made. He and Mo Chen each had their own manor, and they usually stayed in their own manor. However, the courtyard where they originally lived was still preserved here.
He was indeed tired from the journey, so after eating, he took Chu Li back to his courtyard, washed up, and rested.
Mo Chen also returned to his courtyard. Because of his injuries, he was indeed feeling quite exhausted after the journey.
