A Military Doctor Became a Stepmom in Ancient Times

The two of them fell silent again, and the atmosphere became awkward again. Ning Yue reached out and gently held Madam Liu’s hand.

Looking at her fair fingers, Madam Liu immediately smiled and said to Sichen, “Brother Sichen, this is my eldest daughter, Ning Yue. How does she look?”

Si Chen glanced at Ning Yue and smiled. “Sister Liu’s bloodline is naturally beautiful.”

When Ning Yue heard this, she couldn’t help but sigh. Si Chen even lied so well. She and Madam Liu weren’t biological mother and daughter. How were they alike?

“Right? I also think Yueyue will become more beautiful as she grows older,” Madam Liu said with a smile.

As the two of them did not dare to look at each other directly, Ning Yue could observe Si Chen’s expression seriously for a short period of time.

On the surface, Si Chen did not look like a bad person. On the contrary, when Madam Liu spoke to him, he would blush and lower his head. Such a man gave Ning Yue a good first impression.

The two of them continued to chat for a while. When it was time, Madam Liu brought Ning Yue out again.

Although Ning Yue already knew who Si Chen was, she was still very curious about the relationship between Si Chen and Madam Liu.

“Why did you call that man Brother Si Chen? Is he your distant relative?” Ning Yue asked.

Madam Liu couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course not. He…”

As she spoke, Madam Liu suddenly stopped. She didn’t even know how to introduce Si Chen to Ning Yue.

“Mother, is he your childhood sweetheart?” Ning Yue whispered into Madam Liu’s ear.

When Madam Liu heard this, she quickly covered Ning Yue’s mouth. “Don’t spout nonsense. I’ve been married to your father for so long and have a child. What childhood sweetheart?!”

Ning Yue couldn’t help but laugh. “Mother, I’m very curious. Tell me the truth.”

“Actually, your guess is not bad. Back then, he and I were indeed childhood sweethearts. We were engaged. If not for these accidents, he and I might have already gotten married and had children,” Madam Liu said.

“But it’s precisely because of these accidents that we have our current home. Mother, are you still thinking about him?” Ning Yue hugged Madam Liu’s hand and wheedled.

“Of course not! I’m just nostalgic about the past. If I had to choose again, I would still choose to meet you,” Madam Liu said with a smile.

She reached out and gently stroked the hair on Ning Yue’s forehead. “The most gratifying thing in my life was meeting you, your father, and our entire family.”

“Mother, me too.” Ning Yue took Madam Liu’s hand. “Mother, let’s go shopping elsewhere.”

Madam Liu, who was about to agree, looked at the sky and said to Ning Yue, “Let’s go buy some groceries. After that, we’ll go back and make dinner.”

Ning Yue nodded and followed Madam Liu to the market to buy groceries.

“Mother, I want to call Grandmother over. Can I?” Ning Yue asked.

“That’s your biological grandmother. I have no reason to stop you. I’ll go with you. How about that?” Madam Liu asked.

Ning Yue nodded happily. “That’s good. We’re close to the general’s residence now. Let’s pick up Grandmother first, then we’ll go to the market together,” Ning Yuie said with a smile.

Seeing Ning Yue and Madam Liu coming over, An Ning was very surprised. “Yueyue, you’re in the capital?”

Seeing Ning Yue and Madam Liu coming over, An Ning was very surprised. “Yueyue, you’re in the capital?”

When she heard that Ning Yue was here to pick her up for dinner, An Ning was overjoyed and immediately agreed.

The three of them went to the market to buy groceries first and returned home. Ning Yue couldn’t wait to make dinner for the family.

After the crown prince found out that all the Ning family members had entered the capital, he issued an imperial edict and gave Ning Yue a princess residence that had already been built in the capital.

Although this princess’s residence had been built, it had never been lived in. It was the residence that the emperor wanted to give to his married daughter.

Now that Ning Yue happened to need it, the emperor decided to give the princess’s residence to her after a discussion with the crown prince.

Ning Yue was very happy. With the princess’s residence, they did not have to squeeze in here!
