"Don't worry, my Lord. I will take good care of Auntie when I return."

When he heard that he didn't have to die, Biyu hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. Unfortunately, the space in the carriage was too small. Most of the space was occupied by Liu Tian'ai who was lying in the carriage. There was no place for him to kneel down.

Gu Jinyun didn't care whether Biyu kowtowed or not, he just set his gaze on Liu Tian'ai again.

Looking at the small pool of blood on the car and smelling the bloody smell in the car, Gu Jinyun's face became even uglier.

Letting go of the hand that Liu Tian'ai was holding, he got out of the carriage and sat with the driver.

Seeing Gu Jinyun coming out of the carriage, the driver thought he was in a hurry, and replied while driving the carriage carefully: "My Lord, Baohe Hall is just ahead..."

"Ok!"

Gu Jinyun responded indifferently and only told him to drive the car carefully, then stared at the crowd in front of him with tired eyes.

At the same time, a servant walked into Canglan Courtyard, whispered something to Mother Luo, and left quickly.

When Mother Luo heard the news, her eyes lit up instantly and she opened the door curtain and walked into the house.

Waving her hand to let all the maids and servants in the room leave, Luo Mama whispered in Hou's ear: "Madam, someone outside came to report that the matter you arranged has been completed."

"Really?"

Mrs. Hou put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Mother Luo with excitement.

"Did that person really say that?"

"real."

Mother Luo affirmed.

"it is good."

Hou's eyes were excited.

"Give orders that no one should leak the news. We will reward you generously after the storm has passed."

"Yes!"

Mother Luo responded happily and quickly walked out of the house.

After Mother Luo left, Hou sat on a chair, humming an unknown tune, feeling indescribably relaxed and comfortable.

Just then, a little boy of seven or eight years old walked in from outside and threw himself into Hou's arms.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

Seeing her youngest son coming over, Hou's eyes were full of tenderness.

"You naughty boy, are you studying hard in school?"

"Mom, I don't like studying. Can you find a martial arts master to teach me martial arts?"

"No."

Hou frowned and looked at her little son in front of her with a serious expression.

Gu Jinting was not afraid of Hou's cold face at all. He pulled Hou's sleeve and said unconvincedly, "Why? My father practiced martial arts and was a general. I want to become a general like my father in the future."

"Your father passed away so early just because he became a general, leaving us an orphan and a widow to be bullied. Do you also want your future wife and children to be bullied?"

Looking at her ignorant son, Hou's eyes instantly turned red.

I married a soldier and I never see my husband all year round.

She thought that no matter how hard life was, she would always have the title of Marquis's wife, and she would still be the head of the Marquis's Mansion in the capital.

She never thought that man would never come back. Not only did she lose her right to be the housekeeper of the Marquis' Mansion, but she also had to watch the huge Marquis' Mansion fall into the hands of other people. Her two sons would have to move out of the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

She had secretly sworn in her heart that both of her sons would become literary men in the future, and that she would keep them both by her side.

"Mom, I will never follow in Dad's footsteps. Can you just let me learn martial arts?"

A wife and children are too far away for an eight-year-old child. All he can think about now is that he doesn’t like studying. If he can practice martial arts every day, he won’t have to study so hard.

"No."

Hou once again firmly refused.

"You can't learn martial arts even if you can talk about flowers."

"But I really can't learn what's in the book."

Gu Jinting put it in Hou's hand and said angrily, "Mom, go out and listen, people say that my elder brother is not good at literature or martial arts, and he is destined to guard the Marquis for the rest of his life.

My second brother has been studying since he was young, and he will definitely become an official in the future. Are we going to watch the military power of our Gu family fall into the hands of others?"

"That has nothing to do with an eight-year-old kid like you."

After Hou finished speaking, she thought of something and looked at Gu Jinting with a serious expression.

"Who told you these words?"

"No... no one told me..."

After Gu Jinting finished speaking, he turned around and was about to run out the door, but Hou grabbed him by the collar.

"Will you tell the truth, or wait for me to interrogate the servants around you and let them speak?"

Gu Jinting ignored Hou's questions and just kept struggling. Unfortunately, he was only eight years old and was no match for Hou, an adult.

"Mom, please let me go. How embarrassing it is for me to grab my collar like this?"

"What face do you need for a little brat like you?" Hou pulled the man in front of her, frowned and asked, "Answer me honestly, who said this to you?"

"No one told me, I just came up with it on my own."

A wise child is better than his mother.

The less Gu Jinting spoke, the more Hou was convinced that someone had told him something.

At the same time, his youngest son has always been heartless. He only cares about eating and dressing himself warmly every day and doesn't care about anything else.

He was indeed not good at studying, but he had never thought about learning martial arts.

It is a good thing that the children are willing to make progress, but Hou Shi did not want her two sons to go to the battlefield at all.

Not only because of the sorry words she said to her wife and children, the main reason was that the battlefield was too dangerous. She didn't seek wealth and fame, she just wanted her two sons to be safe and sound by her side.

"Okay, my son has made great progress. He should study hard with the teacher in the future and never skip classes again."

"Mom, you haven't promised to teach me martial arts and let me become a general."

Seeing that Gu Jinting was now full of ambition to become a majestic general, Hou persuaded him, "To be a general, you must not only be good at martial arts, but also be able to read and write..."

Hearing that one had to study to become a general, Gu Jinting showed no interest.

"What? You're already a general, why do you still need to read and write?"

"If you want to be a qualified general, you must not only have good kung fu, but also be able to read and write, learn numerology, learn military tactics, be able to deploy troops, and write memorials to the emperor, and more..."

Hearing that to become a great general one needs to learn more than taking science exams, Gu Jinting looked at Hou with a pale face.

"Mom, to be a general, all you need to do is fight. Why do you have to learn so much?"

"If you want to be a great general, you must be good at martial arts. If you can't read and write, you won't be able to understand military reports, and if you don't know numerology, you won't even be able to count how many soldiers you have under your command and how many soldiers you should lead into battle.

At the same time, fighting is not just a matter of swords and guns. It also requires the deployment of troops. If you don’t know the art of war, you can only passively take the beating, and…”

"Mom, please stop talking. I don't want to be a general anymore."

"Really?"

Hou's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "The person who suggested that you become the general is the worst. Don't listen to him again in the future..."
