Chapter 328 Leaving
She looked down at Murong Chen, her eyes full of tenderness and worry. She would leave one day and would not be able to stay with Chen'er forever, to protect him from the wind and rain, and to pave every path for his life.
But Chu Lingfeng and the huge power behind him may become Chen'er's lifelong protection.
This was the fundamental reason why she was willing to do everything she could to help Chu Lingfeng.
Although Murong Ling'er lives in this world, she has always been indifferent to worldly fame and fortune. To her, fame, fortune and status are nothing but passing clouds.
But Chen'er is different. He is a person who really wants to struggle in this world. Like millions of other people in the world, power and wealth are of great significance to his life.
This was the first time that Murong Ling'er analyzed the complex and subtle relationship between them and Chu Lingfeng to Murong Chen in such depth.
Before this, she had just intentionally or unintentionally allowed Murong Chen and Chu Lingfeng to get close to each other, allowing them to naturally enhance their feelings for each other in the little bits and pieces of their daily interactions.
Murong Chen has always been extremely intelligent. He has followed Murong Ling'er since he was a child and has seen all kinds of people and things. His mind is far more mature than that of ordinary children.
Perhaps he had never thought deeply about this before, but after his mother's detailed guidance today, his clever little head instantly became clear.
He finally understood that all the things his mother had done were not only out of kindness, but more for his own future, to pave a smoother path in life for him.
Thinking of this, Murong Chen was moved, and his eyes reddened again. He buried his head tightly in Murong Ling'er's arms, and called out softly with a voice full of dependence and emotion: "Mother..."
Murong Ling'er hugged Murong Chen tightly, as if she wanted to convey all her love and care to him through this hug.
On this quiet night, the hearts of mother and son became closer because of this understanding.

As night falls, the sea breeze, carrying a salty and humid scent, blows wantonly across this land of exile.
Murong Ling'er stood in the dim room, the flickering candlelight illuminated her resolute yet slightly melancholic face. Her gaze slowly swept across every corner of the room, finally landing on the sleeping Murong Chen's face. That was the softest concern in her heart.
In life, kindness is never for no reason. Murong Ling'er knows very well that there is no love or hate without reason, and no good without reason.
She had seen and remembered Chu Lingfeng's care for them mother and son during this period. She had long understood this friendship, and therefore, she was relieved to entrust Murong Chen to him.
When Murong Chen learned that his mother was going on a long journey, he was filled with anxiety and reluctance. His eyes were red, and he clung to the corner of Murong Ling'er's clothes, crying, "Mom, don't go. I'm scared. I want to go with you!"
Murong Ling'er squatted down, gently stroked his head, and said gently but firmly: "Chen'er, my dear, mother is going here for our future. Only when mother gets things done can I give you a stable future. You listen to Uncle Chu and wait for mother to come back."
Murong Chen cried bitterly, but when he saw the determination in his mother's eyes and thought about how his mother always put him first and did everything for him, he felt both touched and a little lost. In the end, he nodded silently and stopped clamoring to go together.
Murong Ling'er was determined to go on a long journey, and before leaving, she began to make arrangements in a hurry.
She first found Chu Lingfeng and told him in detail about some of the precious items in the house and Murong Chen's daily preferences: "Master Chu, I am most worried about Chen'er during this long journey. He likes to kick the quilt when he sleeps at night and prefers sweets when he eats. I hope you can take more care of him."
Chu Lingfeng nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Miss Murong, I will definitely take good care of Chen'er."
Afterwards, she also entrusted Huo Zihao to Chu Lingfeng: "The Huo family and I have a deep connection. Zihao is still young, so I hope you can take good care of him."
Chu Lingfeng agreed and promised to protect them.
Furthermore, Murong Ling'er gathered the other children exiled here and said with a firm gaze, "Children, I will be away for a while, but do not be afraid, do not give up. Although we are in difficult circumstances, we must have a goal in mind. We must strive to survive and learn skills so that we can have a chance to change our fate in the future."
She handed over everything she could think of and could get, such as books, clothes, etc., to Chu Lingfeng in advance, and asked him to distribute them to the children.
After making these preparations, Murong Ling'er went to see General Chen.
There was bright candlelight in General Chen's tent.
Murong Ling'er took a deep breath, walked into the tent, and said straight to the point: "General Chen, I would like to ask your permission to go out for a while."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yue paused with the teacup in his hand. He looked up in surprise, looking Murong Ling'er up and down, frowning and saying, "Miss Murong, do you know that you are still a fugitive? This is no small matter."
Murong Linger responded calmly, "General, I naturally know, but I have to go."
Chen Yue frowned, and after a moment's contemplation, he said, "I can allow you to leave for a short period of time, but Miss Murong should be aware that as long as your status as a fugitive remains, you will not be able to truly leave this place. Otherwise, you will implicate your family, and in serious cases, even lead to their death."
Murong Ling'er nodded in understanding and assured, "General Chen, don't worry. I'll be gone for a few months at the shortest, half a year at the longest, and I will definitely be back within the agreed time. I have entrusted the children to Chu Lingfeng's care. I hope General Chen can take good care of them while I'm away."
"Miss Murong, you don't have to be polite. Leave Young Master Murong and Young Master Chu to me. I will ensure that they are safe and sound."
Upon learning that Murong Ling'er had kept Murong Chen, Chen Yue felt a little relieved. Although he was curious about what she was going to do on this trip, he did not ask much and just promised to take good care of the people from the Huo and Chu families.
After saying goodbye to General Chen, Murong Ling'er did not stay for long.
The night is as dark as ink and the stars are shining brightly.
Murong Ling'er stood alone on a dilapidated little wooden boat. On the shore, the figures of Chu Lingfeng and Murong Chen appeared a little blurry in the dim light.
Murong Linger waved vigorously at them and shouted, "Chen'er, listen to Uncle Chu and wait for mother to come back!"
Murong Chen also waved his little hands and responded with tears in his eyes: "Mom, you must come back soon!"
Murong Ling'er gritted her teeth, picked up the oar, and rowed hard. The boat slowly sailed towards the vast ocean. The sea breeze became stronger and stronger, blowing her hair, and the waves hit the side of the boat, making a dull sound.
