Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1231 I wish your life to be as prosperous as the morning sun

But Mr. Gao didn't expect that Madam could understand his thoughts.

I don't know why, but I feel a little guilty.

And this guilty conscience has to be covered up with anger.

After calming down, he changed the topic and said: "Madam, I am just excited about my husband, and I apologize to you for my fault."

"Rou'er is our flesh and blood, can I not feel bad for you? Just calm down first and let my husband analyze it slowly with you. Then you will understand how much I feel for my son."

"you……"

Mrs. Gao interrupted him: "Master, there is no need to use the same words over and over again. If you don't find it annoying, I will find it boring."

"In the past, I agreed with you and cooperated with you, not because these words made me happy, but because I was willing to obey you."

"I came here today originally to seek confirmation and to ask for clarification. But now I don't think it's necessary. Master, your first reaction has already explained everything."

After a pause, Mrs. Gao's expression became extremely serious:

"I can tell you clearly now that both Rou'er and Han'er are my bottom line, and you have already touched my bottom line."

"On matters concerning the children, especially the marriage with the Xue family, I will never back down! As long as I am around, Rou'er will never get married to the Xue family."

"If the master insists on pushing Rou'er into the fire pit, then even if I risk my life, I will fight to the death with you, master."

After saying that, Mrs. Gao turned and left without looking at Master Gao.

The tall man's forehead throbbed with veins, and he asked in a deep voice after a while: "What's going on? Why did Madam go to the flower hall?"

"Didn't I tell you a long time ago that you must never ask your wife to go to the front hall to see the Xue family's mother and son? Why did you go there anyway?"

The confidant immediately replied: "Sir, there are some mistakes. We are still investigating. I think it is related to the Feng Military Advisor from the White House, but there is no evidence yet."

Master Gao yelled angrily: "What a bastard! You actually asked an outsider to cover the sky with just one hand in our Gao Mansion!"

"This matter must be investigated clearly. If it is really related to that Feng Military Advisor, this person must not be retained to avoid causing any trouble."

The confidants responded one by one, and then asked: "Sir, what should I do with my wife now?"

Master Gao said casually: "Didn't she say that she has two bottom lines? If I step on both of them, what can she do?"

"She has a useless daughter on one side and a legitimate son on the other. When it comes time for her to choose between the two, who do you think she will give up and choose?"

The confidant smiled knowingly.

……

Outside Luquan City.

It was not yet dawn.

A group of people left quietly under the cover of night.

It's Bai Mingwei and the others.

After two days of recuperation in Luquan, their injuries were not fully recovered and they set out again.

Everything was quiet, and the refugees were sleeping soundly in their tents.

On the high city wall, only Magistrate Cheng saw them off silently.

Bai Mingwei took the lead, facing the cool breeze in the early morning of autumn, leading the team forward.

Liu Yao in the carriage closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Yu Jianling covered him with a blanket, then leaned against the carriage with his hands folded.

Soon, the carriage climbed over the mountain col and entered the woods.

After walking for a short distance, Bai Mingwei suddenly reined in the reins.

"what happened?"

Liu Yao's voice came from the carriage.

Bai Mingwei didn't rush to speak.

She stared calmly ahead.

In the dark night, a lantern shone faintly.

The person holding the lantern was an old man holding a child in his hand.

The old man and the young man were waiting in the dark night.

Bai Mingwei looked away and responded in a low voice: "Your Highness, it is Young Master Cao and his old housekeeper."

The curtain was opened and Liu Yao stepped out of the carriage.

He stopped the guards who wanted to follow him, and then walked towards Young Master Cao.

Bai Mingwei followed him, but left him plenty of space.

As soon as he walked over, Young Master Cao knelt down and saluted seriously: "Greetings to Your Highness."

The old housekeeper knelt down.

Liu Yao bent down to help Young Master Cao up, and stretched out his hand to pat his head, but took it back without leaving a trace.

"Why are you here?"

Young Master Cao responded respectfully: "My adoptive father said that His Highness will leave at night. The housekeeper and I came here just to see His Highness off."

The foster father here is the new acting county magistrate, Magistrate Cheng. Liu Yao's arrangement for Magistrate Cao's orphan was to find him a reliable adoptive father.

Hearing this, Liu Yao showed a smile: "You are so late at night, are you waiting here just to give me a gift?"

Young Master Cao nodded: "Yes!"

Liu Yao finally patted him on the shoulder: "It's cold, don't stay too long, go back quickly to avoid catching the cold."

Young Master Cao was about to speak but stopped.

He gritted his teeth and then knelt down: "Your Highness's kindness will never be forgotten. I will study hard and serve my country when I grow up."

Liu Yao helped him up, then squatted down and spoke to him in a more intimate way: "I have a friend, he is almost five years old."

"He is different from ordinary people. He is much smarter than ordinary people. He once told me that a good man should be self-reliant, establish a career, and serve his family and country."

"When I first heard those words, I thought it was funny. What do you know at a young age? Gradually, I felt very distressed."

"For such a young child, he should be at a carefree age, but it is too heavy to have a mountain of responsibility in his heart."

Having said this, Liu Yao gathered his cloak for him:

"I feel heartbroken to hear you say that. Rather than putting your responsibility in your heart early, I hope you grow up healthily and happily."

"I look forward to you growing into a pillar of the country and displaying your ambitions where you belong."

"But at the same time, I also hope that when you are a child, you have the innocence of a child; when you are a teenager, you have the high-spiritedness of a teenager; when you are a youth, you have the responsibility of a youth; when you are an old person, you have the open-mindedness of an old person."

As he spoke, Liu Yao stood up: "I wish you a safe and smooth life, a happy life, and always joy."

Young Master Cao is still young and cannot understand these words.

But in the end, he did not ask word for word, but responded seriously: "I have remembered your Highness's words."

"If I can meet again with His Highness one day, I hope His Highness can tell me whether I have grown up to be what Your Highness wants me to be."

Liu Yao smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Young Master Cao bowed and said, "I wish your highness a safe trip. Cao Xi bids farewell to your highness."

Liu Yao's smile grew wider: "Your name is Cao Xi? What a good name."

Young Master Cao explained: "My father said that the sun is the sun."

Liu Yao smiled and said: "Then I wish you a life as prosperous as the morning sun."

After saying that, Liu Yao said nothing and turned around to get on the carriage.

The old housekeeper held a lantern and pulled Young Master Cao back to the side of the road.

The team marched again, and the two watched the team leave before walking back to Luquan City.

On the carriage, Liu Yao's expression did not change much, but there was a touch of joy between his eyebrows.

"What are you giggling about?"

Yu Jianling folded his hands and asked, then closed his eyes again.

Liu Yao responded quietly: "Go to sleep."

"I woke up too early, I'm sleepy." Yu Jianling muttered, and actually fell asleep with his hands folded.

Liu Yao was speechless.

He opened the curtain and took one last look at the two figures in the dim light.

That light in the dark night not only illuminated the way forward, but also illuminated a corner of his heart.

This was the first time in history that he was thanked and remembered by the people for doing the right thing.

It's not because he has benefited from anyone, it's not because he is the Ninth Prince.

Rather, he did something right, and someone benefited from it and was grateful to him.

It turns out that he can also get the most rare emotion in the world.

The man he is today is not the puzzled and envious man he was when he looked at the people remembering the Bai family.

Now, his heart is filled with satisfaction.

"We are about to enter the woods ahead, so be alert."

Bai Mingwei gave instructions and continued to move forward.

From beginning to end, she never looked back.

Everything that happens here is like the trees receding by the roadside, blurring a little bit and finally disappearing from sight.

But even if the eyes cannot see it, those trees are still there.

Just like that night with lightning and thunder, the dying official handed over a bag of grain that he risked his life to protect.

What role can a bag of grain play?

But thousands of bags of grain can enrich a country.

As long as there are still thousands of little people in this world, doing their best and doing what they can.

Then it will be a prosperous situation where everyone is gathering firewood and the flames are high.
