Chapter 218 The Emperor Recognizes His Son
The Emperor saw Xie Lei's face and immediately became happy. His son had entered the city. The Emperor no longer cared about his image. He ran to the backyard to find his wife.
"Madam, madam, our son is here." He shouted as he ran.
"Husband, it's really our son who has come to see us." Xie Lei's mother shouted excitedly.
"Yes, let's go wait for them at the gate of the mansion. But I don't know if Xie Lei can forgive me. Madam, you go by yourself, I will watch you at the gate of the mansion. If my son wants to see me, just call me." The emperor said nervously.
Xie Lei's mother laughed. "My dear husband, you are so majestic in front of your subordinates, why do you retreat when your son arrives? This is not like you at all. Okay, I'll go to the door and wait for my son." After she finished speaking, she quickly walked towards the entrance of the Emperor's Mansion.
Qiqi and Xie Lei were not far from the Emperor's Mansion when they saw a middle-aged lady in elegant attire standing at the gate, peering into the distance. Xie Lei recognized her immediately and ran over.
He shouted loudly, "Mother, mother, is that you? Your son Xie Lei is here to see you." He knelt down in front of the middle-aged lady.
The middle-aged lady also recognized her son, "Son, son, I miss you so much." She hugged her son and started crying.
Both mother and son burst into tears. Qiqi, watching from the side, also burst into tears. The Emperor also burst into tears behind the door. The ghost messengers in the palace also shed tears for the Madam and the Young Master.
"Mother, I thought you had been reincarnated and I would never see you again. You didn't get to enjoy a single day of happiness with me. Mother, you suffered so much in this life. I am living a good life now. I have a wife and children, and you have grandchildren." Xie Lei said crying.
"Son, I've made you suffer. Your mother is incompetent and has made you suffer."
"Mother, I'm not miserable. I'm content as long as I can see you again. Mother, what will you do in the future? Live in the underworld? I'll ask Qiqi to find a way to let you go to the human world to see your daughter-in-law and grandson."
Xie Lei pulled Qiqi over and said, "Mother, this is Qiqi, my sister. It was she and her brother who saved me. If it weren't for them, I would have been eaten by a wild boar. I'm a member of the Jiang family now. My parents adopted me as their godson and treat me like their own son. My brother and sister treat me like their own brother. Don't worry. I'm also cultivating in the Lingxiao Sect now."
Xie Lei's mother took Qiqi's hand and said, "Qiqi, thank you for saving Xiao Lei and treating him so well. I don't have anything to give you. I know you have two lovely babies, so here are two golden locks as gifts for the two babies. This golden Bodhisattva is for my grandson." After Xie Lei's mother finished speaking, she gave the two golden locks to Qiqi and one golden Bodhisattva to Xie Lei.
"I'm here on behalf of the two little babies. Thank you, auntie." Qiqi said.
"Aunt, this is a pill to repair the soul. Please accept it." Qiqi took out a few bottles and gave them to her aunt.
When Xie Lei's mother saw the elixir, she was so happy that she couldn't stop smiling. She had been in the underworld for so many years and knew how precious this elixir was. It could not be bought with money.
"Thank you, Qiqi. Auntie will accept it."
"We can't stand in front of the door and chat. Qiqi and Xiaolei follow mother into the house, and we will talk in detail."
"Mother, I won't go in. I'll go back after I see you." Xie Lei said.
"Aren't you coming out yet? Your son doesn't want to come into the mansion, don't you want to see him?" Xie Lei's mother said to the door of the mansion.
"Madam, Madam, I'm here. Son, please don't leave. I'm sorry for you and your mother. I was wrong. I made you and your mother suffer." The Emperor floated over and took Xie Lei's hand.
"Brother, the Emperor has admitted his mistakes. Many of the mistakes were not made by the Emperor. Just forgive him." Qiqi also said.
"Xiao Lei, after I recovered my memory, I went to look for you and your mother. I knew that Qiqi's parents adopted you as their son and treated you like their own child. I also found your mother and brought her to the mansion. Your mother and I also knew that you got married and had children. We are happy for you. If Qiqi hadn't come to the underworld, I would not have dared to recognize you if I saw how much your mother missed you, for fear that you would not forgive me." said the Emperor.
"Son, you can't blame your father for this. He doesn't know how much we suffer in this world." Xie Lei's mother said.
By this time, Dongyue Emperor and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also knew that Qiqi and Xie Lei had arrived in the underworld. They also realized that their good intentions had led to bad consequences. They hurried over to explain on the Emperor's behalf.
"Xie Lei, this is all our fault. In order to retrieve your father's memories in the underworld, we sealed his memories in the human world. Are you blaming us? It's not your father's fault. We are too selfish. We think that humans and ghosts have different paths, and we don't want the Emperor to be involved with the human world. So we didn't tell him about what happened in the human world. I'm sorry." Emperor Dongyue said.
The Emperor of Fengdu also forgave the two brothers at this moment.
"Xiao Lei, son," the Emperor called out to Xie Lei again.
"Father, Father." Xie Lei turned and hugged the King of Fengdu. "I've been looking for you in the human world, but I couldn't find you. I thought you were gone. Mother's gone too, so I'm all alone. My uncle is so good to me." Xie Lei hugged his father and burst into tears.
The Emperor waited until Xie Lei stopped crying, then took his hand. "Let's go inside and talk. There are so many ghosts watching us at the door."
They quickly entered the mansion, and the many ghost messengers and spirits at the gate disappeared.
The Emperor held Xie Lei in one hand and his wife in the other. He was filled with emotion, feeling that his life had come full circle.
They sat down in the living room. Emperor Dongyue and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva congratulated the Emperor on finding his son, then said goodbye and returned home. They also knew that the Emperor had a lot to say after just recognizing his son.
Qiqi also took her aunt to visit the residence of the King of Fengdu, leaving space for them to chat.
Xie Lei's mother praised Qiqi, "Qiqi, you are very clever and smart. Xie Lei is very lucky to have a sister like you. Thank you and your whole family for being so kind to him."
"Auntie, you're so polite. Brother Xie Lei and I are destined to be together. It's his kindness and bravery that touched me."
Xie Lei's mother also told Qiqi about his mischievous childhood: robbing bird nests, fishing in the river. Xie Lei did all of that.
Qiqi also told her aunt many stories about how she and Xie Lei saved people. Xie's mother praised them for their kindness and responsibility.
Qiqi was worried her aunt might be tired, so she sat in the pavilion and chatted. Her aunt also told her about her experience in the underworld. When she first arrived, she searched everywhere for Xie Lei's father. She knew he had been taken away by some ghosts and would be in the underworld.
She believed he wouldn't reincarnate so soon. Xie Lei's mother also vowed not to reincarnate until she found her husband. Even if she was bullied by ghosts in the underworld, she remained undeterred and continued her search.
