La luna brilla intensamente sobre las montañas desiertas y las flores llenan el cielo - Capítulo 110
The old man flew into a rage: "You child, won't you listen to me? Who's your master? I'm your sister's master, not yours. Although I told you not to recognize a thief as a relative, you can't just recognize any good person as your master. I don't just take on disciples randomly. No one who isn't my disciple can call me master!"
He had just finished roaring when he froze. A woman who looked exactly like the one inside walked in. Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you hear there was news about Mother?"
The six people, master and disciples, froze on the spot. Xiao Wu sighed, "Master, I've always wanted to say that I am Xiao Wu."
"Are you Xiao Wu?" several people asked in unison, but Nian Yi looked at her clasped hands with Long San and turned pale.
"You're Xiao Wu, how did you become Long San's wife?"
"Then who is this woman?"
"Perhaps that is Feng Ning, the real Third Madam Long."
"Why did Xiao Wu hold Long Sanye's hand in front of the real Long Sanye?"
"Shut up, all of you!" Xiao Wu shouted impatiently, "I am the Third Madam of the Dragon Clan." Everyone looked at each other, and before they could speak, a child's voice suddenly came from outside the door, calling out, "Mother..." Then a pink-haired little girl entered, holding the hand of a young man, looking exactly like a father and daughter.
As soon as the child came in, he rushed towards Xiao Wu: "Mom, I've finished drawing."
Everyone gasped again.
"How can there be such a big child?"
"Then which one is Master Long San?"
"Xiao Wu picked up the wrong person?"
"Alright, everyone stop. Listen to me." Xiao Wu couldn't take it anymore, raised his hand and shouted loudly. After getting everyone's attention, he suddenly turned to Long Er and said, "Second Uncle, Bao'er likes to draw. Why don't you take her to draw another picture?"
Long Er raised an eyebrow and said in a sinister voice, "You dare to order me around?"
Xiao Wu ignored him and looked down at Bao'er, saying, "Bao'er, my good girl, the chicks you drew in your letter to Mom last time were so cute. Go and draw another one for Mom now, okay?"
Bao'er nodded excitedly after being praised and asked, "How many baby chicks does Your Majesty want?"
Xiao Wu opened his palm and gestured the number five. Before he could speak, Bao'er ran excitedly towards Long Er: "Second Uncle, quick, quick, let's go draw. Mom said she wants fifty baby chicks." Long Er was dragged away by Bao'er with a dark face. Xiao Wu held up the five fingers and whispered, "I meant to say, five is enough."
Feng Ning snorted from the side: "Just as stupid as you."
"Who gave birth to him?" Xiao Wu wondered to himself, "Who is he insulting?"
Feng Ning retorted, "Then give it back to me."
"Dream on." This guy clearly has no maternal feelings for Bao'er at all, yet he dares to threaten her with these words. If she really returned it, she'd probably beg her to take it back, crying.
"You have something to say, so hurry up and say it!" The old master, losing his patience, roared.
Xiao Wu quickly said, "It's like this, I lost my memory, I don't remember anything from before. Everything that happened after that started from that Liang River..."
She recounted the whole story from beginning to end, but omitted the part where Long San lied to her. She talked about meeting Feng Ning, Qiao Li's attempt to poison Feng Ning, and how her true colors were exposed.
Everyone sighed with emotion. Nianyi murmured, "It turns out it was all a twist of fate. I met Brother Long several times, but I never expected Xiaowu to be right beside him."
His words struck a chord with Long San, who lowered his head to conceal his inner turmoil.
“I am pregnant now.” Xiao Wu stood up, touched her belly, and said to her old master, “Although I still have no memory of the past, I am doing very well here. The Long family treats me very well. Long San and I have also bowed to each other. I am Long San’s wife. This is my home.”
The old man sighed and nodded repeatedly: "That's good, that's good. Everything was arranged by God. Your mother in heaven is watching all of this. She sent you to find your relatives at that time. It was such a coincidence that you found your ideal husband, you and your sisters recognized each other, and that wicked woman was exposed. Everything was arranged."
He patted Xiao Wu's head, his face showing reluctance, but still said, "Now that everything is over, Master must go too."
"So fast?" Xiao Wu and Long San were both surprised.
But the old master glared at him and said, "What's so fast about it? I don't like it here. If it weren't for bringing your mother's things here, I wouldn't want to leave Xia Kingdom. I'm going back. I can't get used to the food here, I don't like the climate, and I hate the people." He glared at Feng Zhuojun fiercely, then cursed a bunch of things before leaving with his disciples.
He walked to the door, then turned back: "No, I still want to take another look at Qiao Li."
Long San led him there. He looked at the deranged Qiao Li and was very pleased. He laughed loudly a few times and shouted at Qiao Li, "You wicked woman, your sister asked me to pass on a message to you. She said that even ghosts won't let you go. Cause and effect, karma!"
Turning around, he saw Feng Zhuojun standing far away and shouted at him, "You too! Karma, karma!"
The old man left satisfied, leaving behind Qiao Li's frantic screams as she called out, "Feng Lang, my sister entrusted her child to me. She asked me to bring her to you. She wants me to take care of the child and you for her. We'll raise her together, okay?"
Feng Ning stood at a distance, listening to Qiao Li repeat these words over and over again. Looking at Feng Zhuojun's ashen face, she gritted her teeth, turned around, and left.
Xiao Wu and Long San saw their master and the others off at the door. She watched as Senior Brother Nian Yi walked away quickly without turning his head, and suddenly felt a pang of sadness: "Long San, I didn't even get to talk to Senior Brother."
"Nothing I say will make him feel better," Long San said in a low voice. "I'm the one who wronged him. He really does like you; even your master knows that."
How do you know he knows?
“Your master was in such a hurry to leave, probably because of your eldest brother.” Long San sighed inwardly, “Feng’er, it’s my fault. We’ll go to Xia Kingdom again in the future and see if there’s anything we can do to help them. After all, that’s your family home.”
Xiao Wu smiled happily: "I have a family now." Her eyes crinkled with joy: "Oh, right, I also have a name. My name is Feng Wu. What a beautiful name. My mother is so clever. Hehe, my name is Feng Wu."

end
In the end, Feng Ning finally obtained Lan Hu's promise to stay by his side. Long San crippled Lan Hu's martial arts, gave them some money, and told them to find some business to do.
As expected, Feng Ning had no intention of taking Bao'er away. She was already preoccupied with her own affairs and certainly didn't want to take a child with her at this time. Moreover, Long Er had secretly told Lan Hu that Bao'er was a child of the Long family. So Feng Ning and Lan Hu quietly left on their own.
Feng Wu and Long San discussed it and decided that once Bao'er turned eighteen, they would tell her the truth about her background.
Feng Zhuojun also left, leaving behind a letter saying he had no face to see his parents or his two daughters again, so he decided to wander the world, doing good deeds and accumulating merit to atone for his sins. Many years later, Feng Wu heard that an old monk was traveling around doing good deeds, and his appearance was very similar to Feng Zhuojun. The monk's Dharma name was Nian En.
Qiao Li remained insane until the very end. After Feng Zhuojun left, the Long family also kicked her out. She was delirious, only repeating the same few phrases. At first, she seemed half-mad and half-conscious, sometimes following Feng Zhuojun's footsteps, but she never saw him again. Initially, Long San heard that this woman had become a beggar, but after that, there was no further news of her.
