Mu Rong Hua, the eldest grandson of the owner of Full Moon Villa, Mu Jin.

Mu Rong Hua, Rong Hua...

Rong Ci's mind went through all of Ming Jiasheng's strange actions towards Rong Hua, his pupils abruptly dilated, he was silent for a moment. There were some guesses in his heart, but his mouth said: "Mu Jin's eldest son is only a few months old. The person you're looking for hasn't been born yet."

"Yes." Ming Jiasheng looked at him and said in a low voice: "I can't go back to my original body to meet Rong Hua again for this reason as well, I can only find a body that had recently died. You said that a returning soul could only be attached to this kind of body. It was extremely difficult to find a person who meet all of the harsh conditions you specified. A little carelessness in the process could've caused time to have a huge deviation, I could've been thrown to hundreds or even thousands of years back. "

Resurrection is a forbidden witchcraft. Only the patriarch of the Rong clan knows how to perform the ritual, and only the patriarch has the ability to see it through. The details mentioned by Ming Jiasheng were all correct. Rong Ci couldn't find the slightest flaw in his words.

"I just wandered around, finding that I went back to sixty years ago. I thought something went wrong, so I didn't have hope anymore. I planned to live in Liyang, guarding the Full Moon Villa till the birth of Rong Hua, watching him grow peacefully from afar, however..." Ming Jiasheng's eyes slowly turned damp, he trembled and slowly continued: "I actually saw my Rong Hua on the street, although his appearance had changed I recognized him with a glance! His expression, that tone of voice, the way he walks, and his love of wearing red... I'm too familiar with all of this, he's Mu Rong Hua!!! I don't know what went wrong, he clearly came back just like me, but... he doesn't have any memory of me."

Rong Ci's heart sank and he asked, "Are you sure that Rong Hua is Mu Rong Hua?"

"How could I mistake somebody else for him. I'm sure of it, it must be him!"

Rong Ci folded his arms and said, "But Rong Hua has lived in Rongcheng ever since he was born, he never had any fatal accidents as far as I know, so he doesn't meet the conditions."

In fact, the Grand Wizard had expressed his suspicions about Rong Hua's birth from back then. According to the calculation at the time, Rong Hua shouldn't have been the saint of the Rong clan, he should've been stillborn.

But when he was born healthy and well, although not a girl, he was raised as the saint.

Rong Ci had already guessed that this should've been something his 'futurr' self had arranged sixty years forward, 'he' allowed Rong Hua to come back and stay in Rongcheng. However, he deliberately didn't tell Ming Jiasheng about this for some reason.

Ming Jiasheng's mouth trembled, he stared at Rong Ci and said with an unusually firm tone, "It's Rong Hua. It's definitely him, I'm not wrong."

Rong Ci's gaze fixed on him for a moment before saying impassively, "So what? In fact, no matter what motive you have for coming back, you have to know that not everything in this world can be redeemed, especially with a person as hard-headed as Rong Hua. He will die for you if you give him reason to do so, but if you lose his affection you'll never be able to get it back."

"Yes, Rong Hua has such a temperament." Ming Jiasheng couldn't help smiling when he heard his words, "You've also said this to me once."

Rong Ci was startled, "Really?"

"Yes, you said that you'll give me a chance, but you also chastised me, saying that giving me the chance to go back doesn't mean that you believe I'd be able to earn Rong Hua's forgiveness. I know that after all I had done to him......" Ming Jiasheng's eyes were faintly bleak, he said: "But I still want to try, even if he refuses to forgive me.... If I can see him alive and well, silently guarding him... I'll be content."

Rong Ci's eyes darkened and he was silent for a long time. He said again: "I can take you back to Rongcheng and help you solidify your soul, but you'd better stop in moderation with Rong Hua, don't get too entangled."

Ming Jiasheng said nothing.

Rong Ci didn't say much any more, he stood up, Ming Jiasheng also stood up, and said to him, "Thank you, City Lord Rong."

Rong Ci left without looking back.

Back in the room, Su Jingyang was playing with the two children next to the bed. The two children were talking, and Su Jingyang sat next to them, blabbering in turns, they seemed to be having a conversation.

Rong Ci quietly watched this warm scene and couldn't help slowing down.

Su Jingyang turned around and saw Rong Ci coming back, he hurriedly got up to meet him.

Su Jingyang told the maids in the house to retreat, and took Rong Ci to sit by the bed, he immediately asked him, "How was it? What did Hao Jiasheng say? Is he really Ah-Xuan's son? Did he say anything about Ah-Li?"

"You only want the answer to the last question." Rong Ci reluctantly told Su Jingyang what he had heard about Ling Li. Su Jingyang was pleasantly surprised and happy, but he was only happy for a while before the smile on his face gradually faded.

Su Jingyang sighed with sad eyes, "After all, it's memories a generation late. What they see is only the scenery at the top, who knows how many thorns he had to walked over."

And when he heard that Ming Zhan vacated the harem for Ah-Li, he still couldn't believe it. Ever since ancient times, the Emperors all enjoyed their harems of three thousand beauties, he had never thought that Ming Zhan would do this for Ah-Li.

Rong Ci touched his head, "Don't think of Ling Li as too fragile, he's tougher and smarter than you think. Moreover, Ming Zhan will arrange for Ling Li to be the son of Taishi Lin, the Lin family's strength shouldn't be underestimated. From now on, they'll rise and fall with Ling Li, they will either lose everything or gain everything. They'll take the initiative to pave the way for him with their best efforts, so that after he enters the Palace, he won't be so alone and helpless."

Su Jingyang received some comfort in his heart, but there was still some doubt, "Ming Zhan can really do this for Ah-Li? He had no other heirs?"

Ah-Yu suddenly kicked Rong Ci's legs, Rong Ci held his little feet, and leaned down. He held the child in his arms, and the tip of his nose was filled with the smell of warm milk.

As Rong Ci hugged him, he smiled suddenly, and said to Su Jingyang: "You probably don't know, but the first Emperor favoured the second Prince's birth mother, Concubine Yang, to the point where she lost her mind and thought her words were no less powerful than an Emperor's. Concubine Yang worked hard to get rid of the Crown Prince and put the second Prince on the throne. If it weren't for the Queen Dowager holding the military power, the Emperor would've already abolished Ming Zhan's position as the Crown Prince. He asked the Celestial Wizard to give Ming Zhan a divination many years ago. Before the age of twenty-five, Ming Zhang cannot get married or have heirs, otherwise it'll affect the fortune of the country. This has been announced to the common folk and although Ming Zhan still has his mother's support, he's in a wholly unfavorable situation and dared not act rashly. Otherwise, piles and piles of unlucky events and disasters will be piled and pinned on his head."

Su Jingyang couldn't help but become stunned, the Emperor was too callous.

Rong Ci continued: "I guess that Ming Zhan left the harem vacant for Ling Li likely because of his personal experience. He hated Princes threatening each other's authorities and power struggles. With just not having more heirs than necessary, he'd be able to destroy the roots before the bud can even form. It sounds a little extreme, but this is indeed something he would do."

Ah-Yu blinked his eyes while laying in Rong Ci's arms for a while. He turned to look at Rong Ci and then Su Jingyang, listening very carefully, like he could really understand what they were saying.

Su Jingyang couldn't help but lean over to kiss his little cheek, he then hugged the other one.

Su Jingyang tilted his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "If that's the case, then Ah-Lj's entry to the Palace is actually a good thing..."

With Ming Zhan's attitude and the support of Lin family behind him, it's highly possible that Ling Li would have a bright future ahead.

Su Jingyang thought about it more carefully in his heart again, hw asked in a very puzzled tone, "You just said that Ming Jiasheng's throne will come to an end sixty years later. Ming Zhan had just succeeded the throne recently. So on average, three generations had gone by during that time, they'll be Emperor for only 20 years?"

Rong Ci replied seemingly casually while holding Ah-Yu's warm little paw, "Perhaps, it's possible they've abdicated from becoming the Emperor, there are precedents."

Rong Ci said this because he wanted to comfort Su Jingyang. He didn't dare to tell him that in fact, nine out of ten Emperors didn't live long, and Ah-Xuan... probably couldn't escape the same fate.

Su Jingyang seemed to believe this and didn't ask any more. He thought there was nothing more to it, so he hugged the sleepy Ah-Xi and coaxed him up, but Rong Ci thought he wasn't frightened enough, he didn't give him the opportunity to prepare and told him directly about Rong Hua.

Su Jingyang listened dumbfounded for a while, he then looked at Rong Ci with disbelief: "Are you serious? Rong Hua is Xu Mei's eldest grandson and Ah-Li's granddaughter-in-law?!!!"

Rong Ci nodded, "Yes."

Su Jingyang held Ah-Xi who was already asleep in his arms, he couldn't help but widened his eyes, and take a deep breath.

These giant bombs... goose bumps!

Su Jingyang's eyes were empty, his mind was erratic and busy for a long while before he finally got a little grasp on the situation.

No wonder that Rong Hua acted so close when he first saw Ah-Li. He said that he looked like a relative, and that the food he cooked tasted very familiar. No wonder his attitude towards Ah-Xuan was faintly alienated, as if he was a little intimated and afraid to approach him. No wonder he and Xu Mei became so close to each other, even becoming namesakes. No wonder Rong Hua refused to hold Mu Yun, because Mu Yun... he was his father...

Rong Hua kept saying that something went wrong when he came back from Full Moon Villa last time. Although he doesn't remember what happened in his previous life, he still had psychological memories of his relatives.

Su Jingyang muttered in a low voice: "Xu Mei had taken a liking to Rong Hua's name before, he said that he wanted to give his grandson the same name, and really did..."

Could it be that everything's destined to happen?

And Xu Mei really did became in-laws with Ah-Li. Su Jingyang had always joked about it, but it turns out that it'll actually come true in the end?!

Su Jingyang felt like he was inside a dream, but maybe Ming Jiasheng's explanation made more sense to him because of his experience, he accepted and digested what happened fairly quickly.

When he recovered, he found that the two children were both lying in bed asleep. He didn't notice when the child in his arms was picked up by Rong Ci.

Su Jingyang suddenly remembered something, he grabbed Rong Ci's wrist and asked: "What did Ming Jiasheng do to drive Rong Hua away? I know Rong Hua doesn't remember, but he seems to hate him..."

Rong Ci said decisively: "He played with Rong Hua's feelings."

Su Jingyang was stunned. Oh, aside from the anticlimacticness, it turned out to be like that... he didn't really have any moral stand to criticize Ming Jiasheng.

Su Jingyang pondered deeply, he suddenly became curious. Ah-Xuan called him uncle, then wouldn't Ming Jiasheng and Rong Hua both call him grand-uncle? Ming Jiasheng and Rong Hua both went back to the past, will the real Rong Hua and Ming Jiasheng still be born? How can they coexist if their real souls aren't in their bodies? Wouldn't this mess things up?

Thinking about it made his head ache! Terrible, it turns out that he'd constantly been around two Emperors and Queens... this world is really fantastic.

Su Jingyang happily asked Rong Ci all of a sudden, "Since you apparently helped Ming Jiasheng, then he must've been close to you before... Did he say what you'll be like sixty years later?"

Sixty years later, Rong Ci will be 80 years old. After knowing that he would continue living one safely till then, Su Jingyang felt subconsciously happy.

This guy would probably be a handsome old man once he's old.

Rong Ci's dark eyes looked at Su Jingyang calmly, he took his gaze back quickly, lying on the bed with his arm resting on his forehead. His mouth said: "I didn't ask, I don't know what happened."

Su Jingyang wasn't paying attention to him at first. Soon, he leaped directly on him, pressing against his chest with his elbow, he looked at him suspiciously with his cheeks propped. His expression suddenly became a little surprised: ".... Why did your eyes become red all of a sudden? What happened? "

Rong Ci looked calm, he looked back at him and said; "No, it's not red, you're wrong."

Su Jingyang wasn't blind, he said: "Lying with eyes wide ooen! Say it, what's the matter?"

Rong Ci suddenly turned over. He pressed him down and raised a hand to cover his eyes while kissing his lips hard.

Su Jingyang was kissed passionately by him, he felt hot liquid dripping on his face and the shakiness of his breath. He became more and more suspicious. When he finally let go, Su Jingyang gasped and asked, "Rong Ci..... you're crying, aren't you?"

Rong Ci's voice sounded too ordinary, "I'm not crying, how could I cry?"

"My nose is all wet." What a shameless person.

"That's water overflowing from your brain."

"....Fuck off!"

Su Jingyang wanted to push him away angrily, but Rong Ci bent down and arched his head in his arms. He loosened the hand covering his eyes and hugged him tightly. Rong Ci used a lot of strength, like he wanted to break his bones.

"Su Jingyang."

Su Jingyang lowered his eyes and looked at the head buried in his arms, gritting his teeth, he said in a snippy tone, "What?!"

Su Jingyang was angry, thinking that he wouldn't say anything nice, but after a long while, he heard a muffled voice reaching his ear: "Thank you, truly.... thank you for being in my life."
