Yu Jing, seeing that Su Xiaoqi still showed no reaction, said much more about what she had done for her over the years.
After about half an hour, when Yu Jing thought Su Xiaoqi was still unwilling to acknowledge her.
Su Xiaoqi spoke, "I have only one request."
"What request?" Yu Jing replied almost immediately.
As long as she was willing to acknowledge her as her mother, she would accept any condition.
Su Xiaoqi said, "My name is Su Xiaoqi, and I don't want to change it."
Her request was simple; in her opinion, a name was just a designation, and changing it was troublesome.
"Okay, okay, no problem, Xiaoqi." Yu Jing felt her heart was about to burn, she was so uncontrollably excited.
She couldn't help but want to look up at the heavens and say, "Thank you, God!"
Of course, she also needed to thank the people of Yu Guo Gong Mansion, and the wet nurse she had sent first.
Of course, there was one more person who could not be left out.
That was Daoist Zhang, who arrived at the Northern Chu Kingdom's palace at the end of last year.
The moment he saw her, he divined that she had lost her child.
However, this was common knowledge in the Northern Chu Kingdom, so she didn't pay much attention at the time.
But Daoist Zhang's next sentence shocked her.
"I have seen your child."
At this moment, Yu Jing could no longer remember what she felt when she heard Daoist Zhang say this.
Excitement, touched, fear, worry...
She suddenly understood what it meant to have a jumble of emotions, experiencing all sorts of feelings.
But none of them could accurately describe her feelings at that moment.
But now that she had found her precious daughter, none of that mattered anymore.
Su Xiaoqi did not have the consciousness of being Yu Jing's daughter.
She calmly told Yu Jing that she also knew Daoist Zhang, and that he had a very good relationship with her husband, Shen Yun.
Yu Jing rubbed her hands, wanting to come forward, but fearing she would scare Su Xiaoqi as before, she withdrew her hands, but her eyes were still full of eagerness.
She wanted to hug her precious daughter.
Although it was their first meeting, she had longed for her for over ten years.
In these seventeen years, there was not a single moment she had forgotten her.
Every year on her birthday, she prepared gifts for her.
She had also prepared everything she needed to wear and use.
The wet nurse Yu next to her recounted all the things she had done over the years.
Su Xiaoqi was slowly becoming a little touched.
She had originally thought that the original owner had become a beggar because she was abandoned by her family.
Therefore, since arriving in the Great Liang Dynasty, she had never thought of finding her biological parents for the original owner.
Even after she had money, power, and leisure, she still hadn't thought about it.
Because this matter was not important.
The Shen family had never looked down on her for not having parents or a family.
But now her, or rather, the original owner's biological mother had found her.
She said that her disappearance was not deliberate on their part, but an accident.
After they escaped, they never gave up looking for her.
Even if they didn't find her, they didn't have any more children, and they had kept her share ready.
Even though she didn't have the company of her parents and relatives during her growth, in a way, they had accompanied each other across time and space.
Looking at Yu Jing's naturally noble and elegant face, she was so excited to see Su Xiaoqi that tears streamed down her face, her composure forgotten.
Her eyes were full of tenderness as she looked at her.
Although she was no longer the original owner, at this moment, she decided to make a decision for the original owner, to reconcile with herself and with the hardships of life.
"Mother!" she took the initiative to get up and threw herself into Yu Jing's arms, who had wanted to reach out but dared not.
"Child, my child!" Yu Jing had wanted to call her by the name she and Chu Yu would choose for her.
But remembering that Su Xiaoqi had said she didn't want to change her name, she immediately swallowed those words.
What her name was didn't matter; what mattered was that she was by her side.
This recognition ceremony lasted for an hour, and Su Xiaoqi finally acknowledged Yu Jing as her mother.
Yu Jing's tears did not stop; instead, they flowed more fiercely.
The wet nurse Yu beside her saw this, quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and also took out a medicine bottle, preparing to get some medicine.
She also advised, "Your Highness, don't cry. Finding the princess is a great joy. You mustn't cry, be careful of your health."
Yu Jing was crying uncontrollably. She had suffered too much. Seventeen years, a full seventeen years, countless days and nights, she had been immersed in tears of longing for her daughter. Her longing for her had never stopped for a moment.
But she could never find her. Her heart had been full of hope, but it was always filled with disappointment.
Now she had finally found her!
Not just excitement, but also relief!
Su Xiaoqi looked at the pills in the wet nurse Yu's hand and frowned slightly, "This is Mother's medicine, what medicine?"
Yu Jing casually said, "It's nothing, just an old ailment. Take two pills when it flares up, and it will be fine."
Su Xiaoqi, however, snatched it and stopped her from taking the medicine.
Yu Jing was confused, and the wet nurse Yu beside her said anxiously, "Princess, quickly give it to Her Highness, or she will have an attack."
Su Xiaoqi frowned even tighter, "Attack, what attack?"
"Oh dear, Princess, don't ask. Let Her Highness take the medicine first. Her Highness cannot cry for long, or her eyes will also become unfocused..."
The wet nurse Yu was almost frantic.
Su Xiaoqi heard this but did not take out the medicine. Instead, she held Yu Jing's hand to feel her pulse.
After feeling it, she was greatly alarmed.
She directly snatched the medicine bottle from the wet nurse Yu's hand and poured the two pills she was holding into a teapot.
"Ah, Your Highness the Princess..." The wet nurse Yu was not anxious this time; she was angry.
Although the princess before her was the beloved daughter that Her Highness had been looking for for seventeen years.
But her doing this would kill Her Highness.
How could she tolerate such a thing?
She looked at Yu Jing, hoping her mistress would say something.
After all, she was just a subordinate, and her words were meaningless.
"Don't move, listen to my Xiaoqi." Yu Jing easily accepted the name Su Xiaoqi in her heart.
After Su Xiaoqi poured the medicine into the teapot, she gently swirled it, and the pills quickly dispersed.
The wet nurse Yu was so shocked that her jaw almost dropped.
Tears almost instantly gushed out.
How could she do this? How could she do this?
She was going to kill Her Highness.
But her mistress had already instructed her not to act rashly.
So, no matter what, she dared not disregard her mistress's command.
She could only bear it forcefully, but in her heart, she resented Su Xiaoqi.
Her Highness's own daughter was, after all, not raised by her side. Such filial impiety, alas.
She felt a deep regret for her mistress's efforts that had been consistent for seventeen years.
She even thought, if she had known she would be like this, she shouldn't have helped her deliver her at the beginning, but should have let her die...
The wet nurse Yu was too anxious and her thoughts wandered.
When she came back to her senses, she saw that Su Xiaoqi had already taken the teapot and poured a cup of tea.
She gestured to Yu Jing, asking her to look.
Yu Jing, however, thought she was asking her to drink it.
Although she felt the amount of medicine Su Xiaoqi had put in was astonishing.
But whatever her own daughter gave her, she would drink.
She took it and, without even looking, poured it into her mouth.
Su Xiaoqi repeatedly stopped her, "Mother, you can't drink it."
She never expected Yu Jing to trust her so much. She handed it to her, and she drank it without even looking.
It truly startled her.
Yu Jing looked at Su Xiaoqi in confusion, asking with her eyes why she couldn't drink it.
The wet nurse Yu beside her was already furious. She questioned:
"Your Highness the Princess, even if you are willful, there are limits.
How can I say anything to you like this..."
Su Xiaoqi was a little helpless, she gestured for Yu Jing to look at the cup before drinking.
Yu Jing lowered her head and saw it, let out a cry of surprise, the teacup in her hand trembled, and fell directly from her grasp.
