He Shu looked at Li Ye who was bowing to him in front of him, and finally accepted the fact that Li Ye was still alive.
"Good boy, please forgive me."
"My dear, thank you, auntie."
He Shu looked at Li Ye, who was a little more elegant than before, and sighed softly with a sad expression.
"Ye'er, aunt, it's great to see you again."
"My child is unfilial and has made my aunt worry about me all these years. Auntie, let's stop standing. Please sit down."
He Shu smiled lightly and nodded, walked gently to the chair beside him and sat down in a dignified manner.
"Ye'er, stop standing and sit down quickly."
"Hey, kid, sit down right here."
After everyone sat down one after another, Young Master Liu picked up the tea cup and took a sip of warm tea, smiling at Chen Jie who had slightly red eyes next to him.
"Jie'er, how are you? Is this surprise big enough?"
Chen Jie nodded hurriedly when she heard this, looking at her son Li Ye with uncontrollable joy in her eyes.
"Big, too big. I would like to thank my husband for fulfilling my wish for my son."
Liu Mingzhi quietly fiddled with the tea lid in his hand: "Jie'er, you are wrong. This time it was not my husband who fulfilled your longing for your son, but this kid Ye'er who came back without permission."
Hearing Liu Mingzhi's slow words, Chen Jie's pretty face changed slightly. She glanced at her son sitting next to her with a frown, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.
"Husband, Ye'er must have very important things to deal with when he returns to the capital without permission. Considering the extenuating circumstances, I hope you won't blame him.
If he makes any extraordinary mistakes, I, I am willing to take the punishment for him."
"Mother, the child has already..."
When Chen Jie heard what her son wanted to say, she immediately turned around and glared at Li Ye hard.
"Shut up, didn't you see that I'm talking to your uncle, Queen Mother?"
Li Ye felt the worry in his mother's eyes, and knew in his heart that she was worried about his own safety, so he could only nod helplessly in agreement.
"Yes, I realized my mistake."
Chen Jie retracted her glare at Li Ye and turned her head again to look at Liu Mingzhi, who was sitting in the front seat.
"Husband, this child Ye'er may have forgotten some of the etiquette in the past because he has lived alone for a long time. Don't be surprised."
Sensing the anxiety in the beauty's words, Liu Mingzhi gave Chen Jie a calm look, put down the teacup in his hand and shook his head with a wry smile.
"Jie'er, Ye'er's purpose of returning to Beijing has been clearly explained to me by my husband, so you don't have to worry that I will blame him.
You are not a fool, and you don’t know how to use your brain to think about it. If your husband wants to blame him, will you bring him back to your place to see you?
The reason why this child returned to Beijing is now clear to the husband, so don't worry, I won't do anything to him."
Chen Jie suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart dropped. She looked at Young Master Liu with a grateful look and smiled.
"What my husband said is that I am grateful to my husband.
By the way, husband, you already know all the reasons why Ye'er came back, what is the reason why Ye'er came back this time?"
Liu Mingzhi thought for a moment, then raised his head and pursed his lips at Li Ye next to him.
"Jie'er, today is already the twelfth day, and the 16th is your birthday. This kid came to Beijing this time to celebrate your birthday.
In addition to this matter, he also planned to pay homage to his father and eldest brother at the imperial mausoleum.
My husband was originally very angry that he came to Beijing without authorization, but after knowing the reason, he stopped arguing with him out of his filial piety."
Liu Mingzhi only told the first two things. As for Li Ye's search for the fake Ren Qingrui, he had no intention of telling Chen Jie and He Shu the sisters.
It wasn't that Liu Mingzhi deliberately wanted to hide it from the two sisters, but the matter was too unbelievable after all, and it was more appropriate to hide it from them rather than tell them.
After Chen Jie found out the reason why her son came to Beijing this time, she was moved that her son was still thinking about her birthday, but she was also helpless that he was treating his life as a child's play.
Fortunately, her husband did not argue with him because of his filial piety. Otherwise, if his son really lost his life because of this, he would never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Although she felt relieved, Chen Jie still glared fiercely at Li Ye next to her again.
"You kid, what can my mother say about you? The older you get, the more reckless you become. Do you know what the consequences will be if you enter the capital without permission?
Fortunately, your uncle is a rich man and doesn't care about a kid like you, otherwise you would have regretted it too late and thanked your uncle quickly."
Liu Mingzhi didn't tell him what he begged him to do just now, so Li Ye would not be foolish enough to say it. He nodded honestly when he heard his mother's reproach.
"Yes, yes, what the mother taught me is that the child will not dare to do it again."
"My dear, thank you uncle for your forgiveness."
Just as Liu Mingzhi was about to speak, the baby's cry suddenly came from behind the screen.
He Shu, who was silently listening to the conversation of several people, suddenly changed his pretty face, got up quickly and ran towards the back of the screen.
Li Ye heard the baby's cry and subconsciously looked towards the screen not far away, with a hint of confusion in his eyes.
The cry of a baby? How come there is a cry of a baby over there on the mother's bed?
Could it be that my uncle and my mother gave birth to another child after their step-sister Liu Lianniang?
However, if it was the second child of the mother and uncle, why would Aunt He Shu run over in such a hurry?
Could it be? Hiss
How is this possible? My uncle and Aunt He Shu are now in-laws.
Li Ye suppressed some absurd thoughts in his mind and looked at Liu Mingzhi curiously.
"Uncle, who is this child?"
As soon as Li Ye's question came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little subtle.
Chen Jie and the third princess looked at each other and looked away with strange expressions.
Young Master Liu could not help but stiffen when he felt Li Ye's curious gaze. He glanced vaguely at the screen, with a hint of embarrassment in his eyes.
Damn it, I was just thinking about the identity of Ren Qingrui, how could I forget this matter?
It's true, Shu'er, why did you come to Jie'er's place as a guest and take the child with you? Isn't it okay to leave him at home and leave him to the nanny?
Oops, how can I explain this to you?
Should you tell Li Ye directly that your mother, your aunt, and your sisters were both captured by my uncle and I?
If he speaks so bluntly, then his image as a gentleman will cease to exist.
No, no, we still have to find a more subtle reason. The key is what kind of reason can we implicitly explain this situation to Li Ye?
Liu Mingzhi was still thinking over and over how to answer Li Ye's question more appropriately. Liu Lianniang, who was lying on her father's lap, saw the way her father was silent and thought she didn't hear him!
Liu Lianniang straightened up with a smile, looking at Li Ye and pointing in the direction of the screen.
"Brother, it's brother Haoran who's crying. He's the baby born to father and Aunt Shu together. He's so good!"
Young Master Liu and Li Ye were shocked at the same time, and the corners of their mouths twitched uncontrollably. They all looked at the smiling Liu Lianniang.
Smelly girl, why do you open your mouth like this?
As expected, the child turned out to be the flesh and blood of the uncle and aunt.
But that's not entirely true. After all, children's words are unbridled, so there may be some misunderstandings.
What the specific situation is, I have to tell my aunt.
