After binding the system, I saved the general's mansion

He Zhao said softly

"it is good."

Jiang Sheng wanted to put Xiao Yuanbao down and go back, but he found that the little guy was clutching his clothes and refused to let go.

Jiang Sheng smiled helplessly

"It seems I won't be able to leave for a while."

He Zhao stepped forward and tried to rescue her, but Jiang Sheng stopped him.

"He has been feeling uncomfortable and has finally fallen asleep. Don't wake him up again. Once he falls asleep, you can let go."

He Zhao heard her say this and couldn't bear to wake up his son.

He sat at the other end of the bed and talked to Jiang Sheng.

"Are you going to Fengcheng to see patients this time?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head

"My husband and father-in-law are missing in Fengcheng. I want to go over and see if I can find any clues."

He Zhao knew about the Lu family's affairs.

"More than half a year has passed. The chances of finding any clues are too slim."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head and smiled bitterly

"I know that, but that was the last place he stayed, and I always wanted to take a look."

He Zhao sighed quietly. It was always particularly sad to revisit the place where old friends lived.

“Maybe after you go there, you’ll be able to let it go.”

Jiang Sheng smiled and shook his head

"They all say that as time goes by, you will be able to let go. Have you let go?"

He Zhao knew what she meant and chuckled.

"If you've never been hurt, why should you let it go?"

Jiang Sheng was surprised for a moment. Why was this different from what he heard?

"But... Yuanbao's mother..."

He Zhao looked at his son and said with a smile

"Would you like to hear another version of this story?"

"If you want to say it."

From He Zhao's mouth, Jiang Sheng heard a completely different story.

In the early years, He Zhao was still the unbridled second son of the general's mansion. Because he had an elder brother who was under pressure to handle clan affairs and guard Bianjiang City, he lived a particularly free life.

The He family has been stationed in Bianjiang City for generations. He grew up here since he was a child, so he has always been curious about the unknown world outside. When he got older, he wanted to go outside.

He Zhao always wanted to be a swordsman, but he never expected that his purse would be stolen the first time he went out.

At that time, he had just arrived in Jiangnan and was dazzled by the scenery which was different from that of the border cities. Before he could enjoy it properly, he was robbed and became penniless.

Thinking about how he had never suffered such a loss since he was a child, Yuanbao's mother appeared when he was most helpless.

Yuanbao's mother is just as rumored, a woman of the Jianghu. The only difference is that she is not a person with great martial arts skills. Instead, she is a female con man who lurks in the south of the Yangtze River.

They were a group of people who were very good at setting up honey traps and they used them to defraud a lot of money.

At that time, she noticed that He Zhao was well-dressed and tried to get close to him. After just a few days of seeing each other, He Zhao fell in love with her.

She was really good at disguising herself. Her temper, personality, and interests were very similar to He Zhao's. He Zhao even thought that she was his destined one.

Later, He Zhao's identity was accidentally exposed, so he confessed his identity to her. But for some unknown reason, after He Zhao met up with the people who came to pick him up from the General's Mansion, she stole all their money and ran away.

"Then you caught her back?"

He Zhao nodded

"That's natural. I was young and hot-tempered at the time and couldn't stand any grievances, especially being played around by my sweetheart. It made me furious.

However, after I caught them, I finally understood why they ran away.”

"Why?"

"One of the people in their gang is her lover. They want to stop and get married. I am their last one."

"What happens after that?"

He Zhao murmured to himself

"after……"

Afterwards, He Zhao locked them up and tortured them severely, forcing the woman to watch.

The woman couldn't bear to see her lover suffer, so she offered herself willingly. Later, she became pregnant, and she tried every possible way to abort the baby, but failed, so she had no choice but to give birth to the baby.

He Zhao paused for a moment.

"Later, after the baby was born, I let them go."

Jiang Sheng glanced at him

"Do you still have her in your heart?"

He Zhao smiled

"how is this possible?"

He looked at Xiao Yuanbao and whispered

"Before, I felt that man was inferior to me in every way, but I couldn't compare to him and was discarded by him.

Bringing them back wasn’t out of love, it was just out of self-esteem.”

"Then do you still blame her?"

He Zhao said softly

"I have always regarded this past event as a shame and never mentioned it to others, but as time went by, I let it go.

Although she designed to deceive me, I also broke up the two of them, preventing them from being together. Just saying this, we actually owe each other nothing.

Now that I think about it, I only have one regret. "

"What's the matter?"

"At first she resisted hysterically and secretly drank contraceptive soup to avoid having my child.

When I found out, I was very angry. But I was too young at that time and did not allow others to challenge my authority. The more she didn't want to have a baby, the more I pushed her to do so.

But now that I think about it, the child should not have become a tool for the two of us to play against each other."

Especially as the child grows older and becomes cuter, he will feel more guilty.

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Although the reason for Yuanbao's arrival is not so good, at least you are good and love him sincerely.

Sometimes, if the process is good and the result is good, then don’t dwell on the cause, or you will just be making things difficult for yourself.”

Moreover, the fact that he was willing to let them go for Yuanbao was enough to show his love for Yuanbao.

If that's the case, why bother with those things?

Yuanbao in his arms whined for his father, and Jiang Sheng handed him back to He Zhao.

"Then I'll go back first. If you have any questions, remember to come to me."

"Okay, Lin Jin will send Dr. Jiang back."

"Yes, Second Master."

After Jiang Sheng left, He Zhao sat on the bed holding Yuanbao, lost in thought.

There was something he had just said and he did not tell Jiang Sheng the truth.

Yuanbao's mother and that man did not leave, but died.

At that time, after she gave birth to the child, he did want to let them go. After all, after his anger had subsided, one-sided violence had no meaning for him.

But they should never have set their sights on Yuanbao.

He had originally planned to let them go, but they actually planned to kidnap Yuanbao in exchange for silver.

The woman had no sympathy for Yuanbao and even called him a bastard.

That day, if he had arrived a little later, Yuanbao would have become their dead soul.

He could no longer suppress his rage.

He directly ordered the execution of the two men, along with their accomplices, leaving no one alive, to wipe out the entire clan.

He Zhao touched Yuan Bao's little face

"Daddy will definitely protect you. No one can hurt you."
