Across Time And Space 155 Will You Resent Me?

After they departed with Chief Ye, Yang Yun returned to the capital to settle a few things. Chief Ye has given him a week to settle his matters before he should head to Sui Country. The Sacrificial Tree had weaker spiritual power as compared to the previous cherry tree they have back in Sui Country. Because of that, Chief Ye will need a few help from her clansman to cast an incantation later on.

Yang Yun will have to stay in their home, and he will be taught a few things about their art.

According to Chief Ye, traveling through s.p.a.ce in that portal could be dangerous if he did not have a stronger spiritual power. Or else, he might accidentally be sent to a different world, or worse, he might be stuck within that portal.

Once they entered the capital, Jiang Xiao Tian made a few arrangements with his men. Then he stopped Yang Yun from leaving so soon.

"Second Brother, what is it?" Yang Yun asked.

"Since you're leaving for Sui Country next week, we should arrange for a meeting between our families," Jiang Xiao Tian said. "The others would like to know the news about finding Mingyue as well."

"I agree," Yang Yun said. "Then, Second Brother, I will follow your arrangement."

"Come to Jiang residence tomorrow for dinner," Jiang Xiao Tian said. "You should bring along your

mother and sister."

Yang Yun excused himself and headed home. Once he arrived, Yang Yun asked about his mother, and the steward reported that his mother was in her room doing some embroidery. He hesitated for a moment before he went to his mother's courtyard.

When the maidservants saw him, she immediately greeted him and announced to Liu Qing Xin that her son was outside, waiting for her. Liu Qing Xin put down the embroidery by her side before she walked out. Her expression brightened when she saw her son. "You're back!"

Yang Yun nodded. He held his mother on her arm and led her to a chair.

"Someone, come and bring some meal for Young Master," Liu Qing Xin spoke to the maidservants. Then she turned to Yang Yun. "I guess you have not had your lunch yet. Earlier, I prepared some chicken soup. Since you're back, then you should have some. The weather is getting colder. It is good to drink some soup to nourish your body."

Yang Yun only nodded as he watched his mother arrange a few things.

"You went out a few days ago to look for the young general," Liu Qing Xin said. Her eyes brightened with excitement. "How was it? Did he send you on a job right after you report back to camp? Is that why I haven't seen you in a few days?"

A glint of guilt flashed through his eyes. Yang Yun hesitated for a moment before he decided to speak up. After all, it would be better for him to tell his mother about his decision before his mother found out about it tomorrow.

"Mother, the Jiang family invited us for dinner tomorrow," Yang Yun said.

Liu Qing Xin frowned as she continued to watch her son. "I met Jiang's madame this morning, and she did not say anything about this."

"It was just decided. I have some matters to discuss with everyone," Yang Yun said.

Once Liu Qing Xin heard her son's words, she began to panic. "Yang Yun, what is it? Is everything alright?"

"Everything is alright. Don't worry too much." Yang Yun smiled at her mother to a.s.sure her. "It's just that I will have to go away in a few days, and this time, I may have to be away for a long time."

Liu Qing Xin's expression softened. "So you're going on another mission? You don't have to worry about me, Yang Yun. I understand. You are serving the country. It is only natural that you will have to be away for a long time. How long will you be going this time?"

"Five years."

Yang Yun's mother looked at her son with surprise. "That long?"

"Moreover, I am not be going for a mission," Yang Yun continued. He reached for his mother's hand and held it tight. "Mother, we found a way to bring Mingyue back."

Liu Qing Xin gasped. In a second, her eyes moistened with tears. It has been months since her daughter-in-law went missing. Watching her son live as a living corpse saddened her. When she heard that there was a way to bring Mingyue back, of course, she was happy. "Did you find a way? That's good. This is good news." She began to sob.

Yang Yun patted his mother on her shoulder as the older woman continued to cry. "Mingyue's brothers found someone who has some skill and knowledge in this matter. They have promised to help us to bring Mingyue back. However, I will have to stay with them for a while to prepare myself."

Liu Qing Xin finally stopped sobbing. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and looked at her son.

"Mother, will you resent me if I go?"

"No." Liu Qing Xin felt a lump in her throat. "You're my son. Why would I resent to you?"

"Then, will you resent Mingyue for this?" Yang Yun asked.

When Liu Qing Xin heard her son's question, she let out a chuckle. "What are you saying?" she took a deep breath and continued, "Yang Yun, I understood that you love Mingyue very much. Sometimes, even I felt jealous of watching how attentive you were around Mingyue. After all, I didn't get to spend a long time with your father."

"Mother," Yang Yun's expression softened. He knew how much his mother missed his late father.

"But Yang Yun, after your father pa.s.sed away, you have been working hard to help me. You were too harsh on yourself. When I remembered the old you, my heart is full of pain. It was until you met Mingyue that you stop living like that. Therefore, I am grateful that you have Mingyue by your side." Liu Qing Xin said.

Her lips curved into a gentle smile and she continued, "I am glad that you're treating Mingyue well. She is a good person and the daughter-in-law I recognize. Yang Yun, I will support you if you want to go and look for your wife. I would rather let you go and pursue what you wanted to do than watching you live aimlessly. Do you understand what I wanted to say?"
