Mrs. Liu choked and nodded, not a single word coming out of her mouth.
Yes, her son must still be alive, just unable to return for the time being. As long as she lives... one day she will be able to see her son!
Mrs. Dong walked in front of Bai Qingyu, and her smile was more painful than crying. She helped her son up, looking at his half-burnt face, no longer the graceful figure he once was, and touched the burn scars on his face with a heartache, wanting to ask if he was still in pain, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she burst into tears.
She bit her lower lip, swallowing her emotions, staring at her son with wide eyes, striving to keep her voice steady. She looked at the Bai family sons, who were already supported by their mothers and servants, and stood up, saying with all the comfort in her heart, "Although your grandfather, father, and uncles are gone, you have grown up and can take on the responsibilities of the Bai family. Whether it’s your grandfather or your father and uncles, they will be proud of you! You have not failed the teachings of your grandfather and father, nor your uncles’ expectations! You are all good sons and grandsons of our Bai family!"
Bai Qingyan stood behind Mrs. Dong, watching her siblings standing in the flourishing morning light, feeling deeply moved. She was proud of her brothers and sisters too!
Her gaze moved past her brothers and sisters, looking toward the distance where the golden sunrise unfolded... one after another, the black sails and white python flags of the Bai family’s army soldiers, and her eyes grew hot.
The officials, led by Commandant Lu, who followed Bai Qingyan to welcome the army returning from Dasheng, followed behind her.
As a Minister, Dong Qingping shouldn’t have surpassed Commandant Lu, but how could he hold back now, seeing A Yu return safely?
Dong Qingping stepped forward and stood beside Mrs. Dong, tears in his eyes as he looked at his nephew. He already knew that his nephew was the ghost-faced prince of the Rong and had endured such great grievances, yet remained committed to the unification of the world! He even captured the Rong for Zhou!
How strong the child’s resolve must be! How ruthless he is to himself!
How could Dong Qingping not feel heartache at this?!
"Uncle..." Bai Qingyu saluted Dong Qingping.
Dong Qingping nodded. As a dignified man, seeing the burn scars on Bai Qingyu’s face and the transformation of his once graceful nephew, tears wouldn’t stop flowing. When A Yu hoarsely called him uncle, it felt as if ten thousand arrows pierced his heart.
He bit his teeth, raised his hand to pat Bai Qingyu’s shoulder, wanting to smile, but when he spoke, his voice was choked and out of tune: "It’s good... it’s good that you’re back! Coming back is the most important thing!"
"Sister..." Bai Qingyu’s voice sounded beside Bai Qingyan.
Bai Qingyan came back to her senses and looked at Bai Qingyu.
"Eldest Young Lady..."
"Eldest Young Lady!"
"Eldest Young Lady..."
Bai Qingqi, Bai Jinxiu, and the others looked at the silent Bai Qingyan, and Bai Jinzhi rushed to her side, looking up to say, "Eldest Young Lady, Fifth Brother said... he’s not the Commander of the Bai Family Army, the true Commander is always the Eldest Young Lady! That’s what all of us siblings believe! You were the Young General Bai of our Bai Family Army, and now... you are the Commander Bai of our Bai Family Army!"
