"The young master worked hard to support the Ji family, but his wealth for many generations has deceived the eyes of outsiders. The young master was assassinated by his enemies, and the old man and his wife also had to die. The Ji family was wiped out overnight, and only I, who was out for fun, escaped."

When the old man said this, he hated himself for losing his ambition by playing with things. He didn't even see his adopted father, adopted mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law for the last time.

When Nian heard this, tears burst into her eyes. She didn't expect that her son-in-law would have such a past, and that his family would be exterminated. This was too sad.

Shen Nan was shocked. Is what this old man said true?

After so many years, this matter may no longer be verified, but the old man's appearance clearly did not look like he was lying.

Seeing that Nian was crying, Ono quickly stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Mom, there's no need to be sad. My parents are alive in heaven, and they won't want to see you so sad."

"Xiao Ye, you have been wronged all these years..." Nian held his hand distressedly and comforted him softly.

Ono didn't feel any sadness, but the old man's eyes were red again.

Only then did Nian realize what he was doing. He quickly stood up and asked his servants to take the old man to wash up.

"In-laws, you must have suffered a lot from wandering around these years. Although we are not rich, we still have enough food and clothing. Since we are my family, let's stay here."

The old man thanked me repeatedly.

"By the way, let Xiaoqi come over and help you take a look at your body first." Nian

Thinking that he had been living outside for many years, his body must be severely deficient. If it was not very good, he would definitely ask Xiaoqi to nurse him back.

"Forget it, forget it, Xiaoye, take your second uncle to wash up first. Nannan, go to the warehouse and help your second uncle get a set of clothes that fit."

Nian methodically arranged for everyone to boil water, fetch water, and carry clothes, and they were busy again in an instant.

After Shen Nan took the clothes for him, he went back to the main room and sat there, wondering what he was thinking.

By the way, go ask your brother-in-law. He is well-informed. Maybe he has heard of the Ji family?

She did what she said, and immediately went outside to find Shen Yue and Wei Ci.

Yes, the two of them were taking their children to pick longans to eat outside. Seeing her running over, Shen Yue asked with concern: "Nannan, what happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Shen Nan raised his head and looked at the sky. At some point, several dark clouds gathered above their heads.

"Sister, brother-in-law, I think it's going to rain, and something happened at home. You guys pick up the children and talk while walking."

On the way, Shen Nan told the two of them about Uncle Xiaoye's visit. Wei Ci frowned after hearing this.

He had heard of the Ji family. There was indeed such a family in history, but that was more than ten years ago.

However, this kind of reclusive family has little contact with the outside world, and even less news has been circulated.

Could it be that Ono is actually a descendant of this family? No wonder that although he has lived with a pack of wolves since he was a child, his features are noble and handsome. Otherwise, how could his sister fall in love with him?

Anyway, this second uncle lived in the Shen family, but for some reason, Xiaoye just couldn't get close to him.

But it's normal, after all, Ono doesn't like strangers, and he only gets close to her.

But Shen Nan always felt that there was something fishy in this, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so his life went on like this.

After fighting the barbarians for more than a month, their soldiers suffered heavy losses. The key was that the city lord was seriously injured and could not lead the troops in the battle.

The new emperor transferred [-] troops from other state capitals and made Song Hexuan the commander.

Zhao Yalan's due date was within a few days, but her son was transferred out, which made her worried.

There was no other way, so Song Hexuan had no choice but to accept the order. Wei Ci was worried and followed him.

As soon as Shen Nan heard that he was gone, she immediately began to worry.

"Brother-in-law, you have to be careful!"

"Your brother-in-law is a military commander. It's not like he has never fought in a war before. It's okay." Shen Yue patted her shoulder and said.

Shen Nan felt a little relieved when he heard what she said.

In fact, why wasn't Shen Yue worried about him? After all, he was her husband and the father of her children. What would she do if anything happened to him?

But before setting off, Aci assured her that he would only be in command at the rear, making decisions, and would not go to the battlefield, so she felt a little more relieved.

Before Wei Ci left, he left dozens of elite soldiers for her to protect her and her children.

On the third day after the two left, Zhao Yalan's stomach finally started to work. They had already invited Wen Po, and Xu Qi was watching from the side.

Zhao Yalan gave birth for a day, and at night, the baby in her belly finally came out.

Not surprisingly, it was the daughter they had longed for, because Xu Qi had been helping her nurse after she became pregnant. Zhao Yalan's daughter was particularly beautiful, white and tender, and looked nothing like a newborn baby.

Uncle Song was so happy that he hung around his wife and daughter all day long. In addition to taking care of the couple, Xu Qi was also particularly worried about Song Hexuan's safety.

Because the two main members of the family have gone to fight, most of the food they usually bring back is sent to the military camp to ensure that the food for the two of them will not be bad.

Both of them have experience in fighting and are very smart, so once they join, the battlefield becomes completely dominated by them.

The barbarian soldiers were beaten and retreated steadily. Even though Xiyi kept sending troops, they could only be treated as defeated generals.

Because the two men joined in, the injured soldiers were given more time to breathe. After the city lord was almost recovered from his injuries, he had people push wheelchairs to the city wall.

The city of Lingzhou City has been completely taken back by them. All the barbarian soldiers are currently blocked outside the city. They just scream under the city wall every day and don't even have the ability to break in.

Shen Yue and Xu Qi teamed up and brought a sumptuous meal to the two of them. Shen Nan was worried because her sister also took Xiao Ye to the city wall.

"Why are you here?" Wei Ci looked at his wife in surprise.

"Why can't I come?" Shen Yue looked at him angrily.

"Are you busy now? Come over for dinner."

"I'm not busy, I'm not busy." Wei Ci hadn't taken a shower for several days. His beard was unkempt and the redness in his eyes was particularly obvious, which made Shen Yue feel distressed.

He seemed to have not been so tired for a long time. If the city lord didn't know what to do, she wouldn't mind pushing him away.

"Come for dinner. The food prepared by Nannan is still hot after riding here." Shen Yue said, pointing to the food in the room.

"Okay, I'll call Hexuan over." Wei Ci pushed his wife in and went outside to find Song Hexuan to come over and have dinner with her.
