"The Old Lady went?" Shen Jingli was unable to explain the feelings in his heart. His mind was blank for a while, and he couldn't even sense the auras around him.
"Yes." The servant seemed to be very sad, his voice was weak, and there was even a hint of sobs in his voice. "Please invite Second Young Madam and Seventh Young Master back to the estate …" "Flee."
He reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead and looked up at Shen Jingli stealthily. Everyone in the house knew that the Second Young Master had been kicked out of his house, and even if he married the second young master's wife, who had a bad background, no one would stand up for him, no one would accept him, and the Old Lady did not help him either. Furthermore, he brought people with him to add insult to injury.
After all, compared to the Second Young Master, the Seventh Young Master had no feelings for the house of the Marquis. Even people from the house of the Marquis on the street would turn a blind eye to them.
"I …"
"Mama, my little tiger's tail is broken." Xun Er carried his little tiger puppet and commanded two eagles to come over.
The two White-shouldered Eagle s flew freely in the sky for a while, under Xun Er's whistles, they swooped down towards the young servant. In just a few months, the two eagles had grown quite a bit, with wingspreaded wings that were more than a meter long, just this type of wingspan was enough to scare people away. The young servant almost immediately lost his footing when they rushed down, and directly fell to the ground when they made a sound.
Seeing that the others were shocked by his carving, Xun Er laughed happily, called the eagle back, ran to Shen Jingli and showed his little tiger to him.
Shen Jingli looked at the servant and said: "I understand, I will tell Brother Jin."
He did not say whether he wanted to go or not, but the servant knew that this was the greatest form of tolerance. He quickly ran away, thanking him sincerely before leaving.
"Where is it broken?" Shen Jingli picked up the cloth doll and discovered that the little tiger's tail had been ripped off somehow, "Where's the tail? I'll have Jin Yu help you make it up to them. "
"In the room." Xun Er said as he held Shen Jingli's hand and turned around, "Mama, why did that person come just now? Is Daddy coming back? "
"Father won't be back so soon." Thinking? He also missed him very much. He wanted to wake up every day and see him at first glance, to see him sitting on the bed, saying "I'm back" to him in his usual melodious voice.
Xun Er lowered his head in disappointment, "You kept on saying that it was not that fast, not that fast. When will Father come back?"
While Xun Er was complaining, Shen Jingli revealed an embarrassed smile, a little kid was not easy to fool, a lot of times, whatever he said would be remembered, and he could not be careless.
However, the moment he saw Huaixin, Xun Er forgot his previous disappointment. He tossed the little tiger over to Shen Jingli and pulled Huaixin along to play hide and seek.
"..."
When Shen Jingli told Mu Jin of Old Lady's death, he originally thought that he would refuse to return. Unexpectedly, he only thought about it and agreed.
Since Mu Jin wanted to return, Shen Jingli would not let him return alone. After preparing for a while, the two of them went back to mourning, and even helped the Old Lady keep watch.
On the day of his burial, Shen Jingli saw that Mu Yu had stayed at the very end, and had been looking at Old Lady's grave the entire time.
At night, he went to County Prince's Mansion to chat with Mu Jin. The two brothers were completely drunk in the courtyard, it was Shen Jingli who helped them return to their room.
It was unknown whether it was because they were too drunk or because they had been too tired these past few days, but the two of them actually slept for a day and a night before waking up.
After eating his fill, Mu Yu returned to the Marquis Zhen Yuan Mansion. After taking care of the affairs of the Old Lady Mu, he returned to the north, and even if the County Owner did his best to persuade him to stay, he still left without hesitation. The County Owner was so angry that he laid on the bed and cried for a few days, but his determination could not be changed.
The death of the Old Lady Mu did not affect anyone's life. As usual, the days were busy, and the war was raging. The atmosphere of the imperial court was getting increasingly gloomy.
The Minister of the Left, who went to collect the military salaries, and the Assistant Minister of the Military Department, who was in charge of recruiting troops, all began to play, requesting that the Great Qi be reconciled with the army in the north. This would allow them to suppress the internal rebellion more easily and quickly, and the Emperor was also very upset with the current situation, but he did not agree to this plan.
They said that the war in the Qin Province was even more serious now. The General Zheng's team was stationed in the Qin Province, and on the road to the Qin Province, there was a very deep canyon. That canyon was very difficult to break through, and he had fought with General Zhao once, so he stayed in the Qin Province.
"My second brother went mad when he received the news." Zhao Wenrui leaned on his Arhat Bed, and the three little kids lay beside him. An An An stretched out her hand to tug on Xiaobao's hair, causing Xiaobao to scream out loud.
Zhao Wenrui took An An's small hand away and continued: "And I heard that the reinforcements led by King Kang Le were stuck somewhere along the way. They haven't gathered with my father's army yet."
He didn't know what kind of accident happened to the King Kang Le, to actually be stuck in there for so long. Things changed constantly on the battlefield, and if he made even the slightest mistake, he might lose the initiative, resulting in a losing battle.
Zhao Wenrui was worried in his heart, but he was not a commander who led his men to battle.
Shen Jingli brought him a cup of hot milk tea, "Don't worry, General Zhao is experienced, he will definitely take care of this well."
Although he said that, the other side was also an experienced veteran. They also had a lot of fighting experience, so it was impossible for them to win the war just by relying on their own experience.
Seeing Zhao Wenrui's worry, Shen Jingli did not continue speaking. After all, he did not understand much about the battlefield.
"Wa, wa, wa …" The little kid beside him cried out once again, breaking this gloomy atmosphere.
"I think I'm hungry." Shen Jingli reached out his hands to tease them, and saw An An opening his mouth to bite his finger.
"They are truly carefree. Every day, they eat and sleep like little pigs." Zhao Wenrui held Little Treasure up, the little guy opened his mouth wide, yet still reached out his hand to grab for An An An, as if he was trying his best to compete with An An.
Seeing his actions, Shen Jingli felt that it was very interesting and reached out his hand to tease him. Xiao Bao took the opportunity to grab his hand and Shen Jingli laughed, "What's wrong? Why do you want to be my Daughter-in-law? You've always been holding onto my safety. "
"What?" It was clearly your An'an who wanted to be my Daughter-in-law, and was provoking my Xiao Bao all day long. " Zhao Wenrui immediately retorted as he hugged Little Treasure and grabbed his hand and asked, "Little Treasure, is it? An An will definitely want to become Little Treasure's wife. "
The little kid could not understand Mama's words. He only knew that he was very hungry and started to howl even louder. Zhao Wenrui quickly took the cow milk Jin Yu had brought over and fed it to him.
After eating and drinking to his heart's content, Xiaobao crawled over to An An An, his eyes opened wide in curiosity. His eyes were pure and very bright. Xiaobao paused for a moment, and then smiled at him, revealing a gum without teeth.
He only took a glance at her, but his eyes were so clear that no emotions could be seen. After a while, he closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.
"It really does look like a little pig." Shen Jingli carried him, put him into the cradle and covered him with a blanket.
Zhao Wenrui looked at the playful Little Treasure and An An, and felt a little regretful in his heart. If Shen Jingli gave birth to a daughter or a son, they would be able to become relatives, and An An was so adorable, but could not become his Daughter-in-law.
Zhao Wenrui reached out to help An An. He stroked the clothes on his body as he turned around and said to Shen Jingli: "If only I could become close relatives with you."
"It's not impossible." Shen Jingli looked at the two children who were stuck together again.
Zhao Wenrui misunderstood Shen Jingli's words. He thought he would have other children in the future, so he nodded too.
"..."
Two more months passed and General Zhao's army finally defeated the General Zheng's rebel army and officially moved to the Qin Province. However, at this time, an army suddenly rose up and attacked the capital, planning to force the Imperial Palace to abdicate.
However, the emperor seemed to have long predicted that such a situation would occur. He arranged for two hundred thousand imperial guards to stand guard thirty kilometers away from the capital and successfully stopped the enemy's army.
"Your Majesty, a victory report is coming from the front." Lee Dehai passed the urgent delivery letter to the emperor.
0
The emperor sat on the chair behind the desk and supported himself with his head. He closed his eyes to recuperate, and upon hearing Lee Dehai's words, he slowly opened his eyes, "What's going on with the Second Prince?"
"Second Prince has already left the capital for a while." He really did not think that the Second Prince would actually have a substitute stay at home. Every day, he would indulge himself in debauchery, befuddling the guards who were monitoring him from the shadows.
The Emperor started laughing, seeming to have already predicted that such a situation would occur. "It isn't out of my expectations."
Ambitious people never sit back and wait for their deaths. After an accident, they would be crippled and abandoned by their uncle, who would always support them. His ambitious second son would definitely be unable to sit still and would suddenly lose his temper, probably to numb him.
"Your majesty is wise." Lee Dehai said.
Brilliant? The emperor almost broke into laughter. He looked at Lee Dehai and stretched out his hand in the end, "Hand over the paper."
Lee Dehai placed the paper on the table, and the emperor opened it up to take a look, "With Mu Qingsi's family here, I am at ease."
Old Man Mu had really brought out a very good general. With him here, he would definitely be able to lead the Great Yan's army to wipe away all the shame and defeat the army of Great Qi.
"I really did not expect to pay close attention to the situation outside the city …" Zheng Shijun actually deceived General Zhao, secretly leading a group of elite soldiers into the capital.
