The daughter of the emperor was reborn and was spoiled by the sickly prince.

Have a good night's sleep.

Liao Qinglan felt that she had not slept so soundly for a long time.

The daily routine in the military camp is very regular. When the morning hour arrives, the horn sounds "wooooo" and echoes in every corner.

Liao Qinglan woke up slowly, but the scene before her made her face change suddenly.

——Gu Mingzhao had his hand on her waist, staring at her deeply.

That look seemed to contain thousands of stars and a thousand strands of tenderness.

Liao Qinglan suddenly felt her cheeks getting slightly hot. A corner of her heart was inadvertently aroused and her heartbeat quickened.

But what made her even more ashamed and angry was that her arms were tightly wrapped around Gu Mingzhao.

She could only keep comforting herself, saying that it was just a habit from her previous life and it was definitely not her own desire to hug Gu Mingzhao.

She struggled to break free from Gu Mingzhao's arms, but as soon as she moved, she felt that Gu Mingzhao's body seemed to have subtle changes.

Although both of them were wearing clothes, the subtle touch was still very clear.

——The huge hard object stood up high, pressing against her lower abdomen.

Liao Qinglan was so angry that she wanted to pry open Gu Mingzhao's head to see how much waste was inside.

"Gu Mingzhao, are you thinking about matters between men and women all day long?" Liao Qinglan asked gritting her teeth.

"It's not all day long, but I feel a little itchy when I hug you." Gu Mingzhao answered shamelessly.

"Shameless!" Liao Qinglan glared at him and cursed hatefully.

Gu Mingzhao didn't care.

Since he had already been scolded, he decided to be even more shameless. He reached out and stroked Liao Qinglan's earlobe, and asked, "Do you hope that your husband will not have any reaction when he hugs you? If so, then you should go find the eunuchs in the palace."

Liao Qinglan was speechless.

After a long while, she said awkwardly, "Your Highness, I find that I still prefer the way you ignore me."

"Really? But I find myself liking seeing you shy and angry more and more."

The more he talked, the more excited he became!

Liao Qinglan simply ignored him, jumped out of bed and started changing clothes and washing up.

I agreed with Liang Wu yesterday and asked him to come to see them early in the morning.

Liao Qinglan had to prepare in advance.

After she had almost finished packing, Gu Mingzhao slowly got up.

The subtle reactions in his body had disappeared, and he was only wearing an inner garment, a white garment that made him look extraordinary.

Gu Mingzhao is very handsome, with a figure as straight as a pine tree and delicate features like a painting.

When he was silent, there was a cool air lingering around him, and he was completely different from the scoundrel he had just been.

I have to admit that his steady and dignified demeanor is still very deceptive.

At least when he goes to lobby Liang Wu later, he will look trustworthy.

Gu Mingzhao was a man and he tidied himself up in no time.

Qin Yunhan brought them some delicious buns and white porridge. Not long after they finished their breakfast, Liang Wu arrived.

Liang Wu has a baby face, looks honest and simple, and there is always a smile between his eyebrows.

He has a strong build and looks like a down-to-earth and hardworking young man.

"General Long, Young Master Long, I will follow you from now on. What do you usually do?" He asked respectfully to the two nobles in front of him.

Liao Qinglan asked him to sit down, stood up to make sure that there was no one around, then closed the door, and sat opposite Liang Wu with Gu Mingzhao.

"Awu, the candied haws you made are delicious, and taste the same as the ones your mother made." Liao Qinglan said with a smile.

Liang Wu's face changed when he heard this, and he asked in surprise: "Master Xiaolong, you... have you seen my mother?"

Liao Qinglan nodded: "Yes, and General Long promised your parents that he would bring you home."

"No, my mother has poor eyesight and hasn't sold candied haws for many years."

Liang Wu noticed something unusual and immediately became alert.

"I've been living very well here and have never thought about going back. Who are you? What is your purpose in looking for me? If you can't explain it clearly, I'll tell General Wu right away!"

He stood up and prepared to leave, but was stopped by Liao Qinglan's words.

"Have you ever thought about going back? Do you know what kind of life your parents lived after you left? Don't you even ask why your mother went back to her old job of selling candied haws?"

Liao Qinglan felt a little sorry for Liang Wu's parents, and her tone of voice became a little heavier.

Liang Wu couldn't help but stop. He was stunned for a moment, turned around and sat down, and asked, "What happened to my parents after I left?"

Liao Qinglan sighed and said, "After you left, our family lost their livelihood. Your father had lung disease, and his condition worsened due to grief. Your mother had no choice but to go back to selling candied haws."

Lung disease, candied haws...they all match.

Liang Wu believed that they had really met his parents.

His eyes clearly showed disbelief at the news, and his voice trembled a little: "How could it be... When I left, they clearly said that they would give my family fifty taels of silver, enough for my father's medical treatment and living expenses for the next few years!"

Liao Qinglan guessed that the fifty taels he mentioned should be the pension given by the government to the family of the "deceased".

"I have investigated this matter." Gu Mingzhao, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, "The pension recorded in the account book is indeed fifty taels, but Mr. Liang said that the government only gave twenty taels."

"They actually want to embezzle even this kind of money!" Liao Qinglan didn't know about this before and was shocked.

"They lied to me... They actually lied to me..."

"By the way, Xue San, do you know him?" Liao Qinglan suddenly remembered the time when Awu's parents were bullied by thugs.

"I know him. Third Master Xue is a very kind man. He comes to the barracks every few months to help us deliver letters and silver. I don't spend much money in the barracks. I get five taels of silver every month. I give half to Third Master Xue as a reward for his hard work, and ask him to bring the other half to my parents."

Five taels per month, sixty taels per year. Even if Xue San took half of it, thirty taels would be enough for the old couple to live a worry-free life.

However, Xue San not only did not give the money to Awu's parents, he also bullied the people in the market and exploited the locals.

Liao Qinglan felt very uncomfortable.

Liang Wu was willing to work for them here just to make his parents live a better life.

If he knew that after he was gone, his parents not only lived a miserable life but were also bullied by the so-called good people, would he be able to withstand such a blow?

Thinking of this, she didn't know how to tell him the cruel truth.

Gu Mingzhao saw that she was feeling upset, so he covered the back of her hand with his palm to comfort her.

Gu Mingzhao looked at Liang Wu and said, "Your parents only received one letter, and they bought it from Xue San for ten taels of silver. As for the salary you mentioned, they never received it."

Liang Wu was struck by lightning, and his eyes turned red instantly.

He clenched his fists, veins popping out, and his voice choked: "They...how could they do this..."

Before he could finish his words, this tough guy was already in tears.

Gu Mingzhao and Liao Qinglan looked at each other and didn't continue talking, waiting for Liang Wu to calm down.
