"But no matter how happy you are, you have to take care of your body, dear child, listen to me."

"I understand, mother."

He Zhao also took a good look at his nephews and nieces. His own children were naturally adorable no matter how he looked at them, but there was a big difference between these two children.

"Shengsheng, why do I feel like my niece is much younger than my nephew?"

"It is common for twins to have one larger than the other due to unbalanced nutrition in the mother's womb."

He Zheng suddenly remembered that faint cry

"The second cry was from my daughter?"

Jiang Sheng nodded

"Yes, she came out late and choked on some amniotic fluid, but don't worry, I've taken care of it."

He Zhao said with some concern

"She is younger and thinner than her brother, so we need to pay more attention to her in the future."

Jiang Sheng said with a smile

"Don't worry about that. I have already done a detailed checkup for them when they were born. Although the little girl is a little weak, there is no big problem. I also gave them some of our sect's unique secret medicine to enhance immunity, so don't worry too much."

He Zhao heaved a sigh of relief

"That's really nice."

Nie Wushuang felt a little tired after talking for a while, so Old Madam He took everyone out.

"Sheng'er, you've been going on for so long and haven't even finished shopping in the market. Why don't you let He Zhao accompany you to continue shopping?"

Jiang Sheng was about to say no when He Zhao agreed.

"He Zhao, accompany Sheng'er to go shopping. I'm at home."

"I understand, mother."

The two had no choice but to go together. Halfway through the journey, Jiang Sheng suddenly remembered

"It's broken, Zhiqing."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Don't worry, I have arranged for someone to accompany you."

Jiang Sheng holds his forehead

"It's my fault. I left in such a hurry that I forgot about Zhiqing."

"I've asked my lieutenants to protect her. When they've seen enough, they'll send her back."

The two walked onto the bridge, and the sky was already full of sky lanterns that people had released to pray for blessings.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Sheng couldn't help but exclaimed

"This is so beautiful."

The distant sky lanterns were like shining stars, reflected in the river. It seemed as if the river was also filled with sky lanterns, and the sky and the earth seemed to be connected into one.

"This is the first time I have seen such a beautiful scenery. It is really beautiful."

While Jiang Sheng was staring at the beautiful scenes without blinking, He Zhao beside her was also looking at her.

Jiang Sheng turned back to meet He Zhao's burning gaze. He Zhao cleared his throat and said

"Shengsheng, I have something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

Jiang Sheng restrained his smile, lowered his head and said nothing.

He Zhao smiled bitterly

"It seems you already know what I want to say."

Jiang Sheng raised his eyes to look at him and whispered

"He Zhao,"

She was not a stupid person. She had not thought about it before because she felt that He Zhao had been deceived and must still be concerned about love.

Moreover, he also knew that she had the feeling for He Zhao in her heart. She had always felt that the two of them had nothing in common, so she had never thought about it that way.

However, something was wrong with He Zhao recently. He was being too nice to me.

It is said that liking someone is the most difficult thing to hide. If she was in love with him, He Zhao's little thoughts would have been revealed long ago.

Jiang Sheng was full of regret at this moment. If he had made things clear earlier, he wouldn't have wasted time until today.

Seeing that Jiang Sheng didn't say anything else, He Zhao suddenly got the courage from nowhere and hugged him in his arms.

"Shengsheng..."

He Zhao felt too unwilling in his heart, he even felt that he liked Lu Wenzhou as much as he liked her, but the order in which people appeared was really too important.

Perhaps, he will never be able to compare to the deceased Lu Wenzhou in his entire life.

He didn't want to admit this fact, but he had to admit it.

After a long time, He Zhao spoke in a low voice in her ear:

"We'll always be friends, right?"

Jiang Sheng nodded vigorously

"He Zhao, the happiest thing for me since I came to Bianjiang City is meeting you. You will always be a good friend whom I can trust with my life."

They are good friends with whom you can trust your life, but they can never be lovers with whom you can stay together.

He Zhao was not surprised by this answer at all.

He Zhao let the man go with a relieved smile on his face.

"Does that mean that I still have some status in your heart?"

Jiang Sheng smiled

"Of course, He Zhao, you will always be my best friend."

He Zhao turned around and looked up at the night sky. Although he was unwilling, he had to admit that this seemed to be the best ending.

The two of them walked around the market town, and He Zhaocai sent them back.

"Shengsheng, go change sister-in-law's medicine tomorrow, I'll pick you up."

"it is good."

Jiang Sheng was very concerned about Nie Wushuang's health and did everything herself. Under her careful care, Nie Wushuang recovered quickly, and the loss of giving birth to twins was made up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The happiest person was Old Madam He. Not only did she have two little grandchildren, but her daughter-in-law was also in good health. It was a double happiness.

But if you were to say who she dislikes the most right now, it would probably be He Zhao.

That rebellious son, not only did he not get married, but he was also indifferent to the girl he finally found, whom he liked and whom he also liked. It was true that the eunuchs were anxious when the emperor was not. She was so angry that she just ignored it.

Let him live his life alone from now on.

When Nie Wushuang finished her double confinement, the autumn harvest season happened to arrive in Bianjiang City.

The General's Mansion held a full moon banquet. The General's Mansion has always been frugal, and the full moon banquet was not extravagant. Only close friends from aristocratic families were invited, and Jiang Sheng was naturally among the invited guests.

Jiang Sheng is now a prominent figure in Bianjiang City. When she went to the general's mansion for a banquet, Nie Wushuang brought her to his side in front of everyone.

Everyone saw how intimate their attitude was, and the ladies who were invited watched him and treated Jiang Sheng even more warmly.

But Jiang Sheng always felt that the young ladies who attended the banquet looked at her with some hostility.

She is a married woman, how did she offend them?

She told Nie Wushuang her doubts, and Nie Wushuang smiled and said

"You still have to go and settle the score with A Zhao about this matter."

Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said

"Could it be that these ladies are all admirers of He Zhao?"

Nie Wushuang put a cup of hot tea in her hand

"It's not correct to say they are admirers. Given the status of the General's Mansion, some of them are not here for Zhao."

Jiang Sheng nodded in understanding.

"It seems that He Zhao is a popular commodity now."

Nie Wushuang glanced at Jiang Sheng with a half-smile.

"Such a delicious piece of cake, don't you want to try it?"

Chapter 176

Jiang Sheng was drinking tea when he heard this sentence and was choked.

“Ahem… ahem… ahem…”

Nie Wushuang patted her back gently

"Why do you think they dislike you? They think you're blocking their way."

Jiang Sheng cleared his throat

"It seems that I have to stay away from the romantic Second Master in the future. It doesn't matter if I am misunderstood by others, but I can't afford to offend if I delay our Second Master's romance."

While they were chatting, the housekeeper suddenly walked in quickly.

"General, Madam, someone has come from the capital and has already arrived at the outer city."

He Zheng and Nie Wushuang looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Why would someone come from the capital at this time?

However, everyone still followed He Zheng to the courtyard. After waiting for a while, they saw the Jingji Guards escorting a pale eunuch into the courtyard.

It was not known whether the eunuch was exhausted from the long journey or had some illness, but after arriving at the courtyard, he took out a bright yellow scroll. Upon seeing this, He Zheng hurriedly led his men to kneel down.

Then my father-in-law spoke as if he was pinching his throat

"The Emperor, by order of Heaven, orders General He Zheng to send someone to escort the Lu family to the capital. I decree this."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. It was Nie Wushuang who reacted in time.

"The minister obeys the order."

"The minister obeys the order."

After getting up, Nie Wushuang took out the purse he had prepared long ago, walked forward and said to everyone with a smile:

"You have all been working hard on the journey, so a little gift of gratitude, a glass of wine would be nice."

After sending the guards away and settling them down, he came to the eunuch and put the banknote in the young eunuch's hand.

"Eunuch, why did His Majesty suddenly pardon the Lu family? But what happened?"

The eunuch did not take the money He Zheng handed over, but smiled kindly.

"Two months ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince submitted a lot of evidence of Xiao Pingyuan's treason. His Majesty was furious and ordered the three courts to jointly investigate the case, but he didn't expect that pulling out the radish would bring out the mud.

The Fengcheng incident was discovered in this way. Your Majesty is deeply distressed, but the past cannot be changed. You can only issue an imperial edict to make the truth known to the world, so as to comfort the souls of the 50,000 Lu family soldiers in heaven. "

Then the young eunuch looked at Jiang Sheng and said

"Doctor Jiang, my husband is in great shape after returning to the palace. He also asked me to bring something to you."

Is that an envelope?

Jiang Sheng took a step forward, took the item, bowed slightly and said

"Thank you, father-in-law."

"My foster father also asked me to bring you a message."

"You can say whatever you want, sir."

"My foster father said that the house and shop here are her medical fees for you. When you return to Beijing, she will give you other gifts as a thank you."

Jiang Sheng whispered

"Such a valuable gift has already made me unable to sleep or eat. When you return to Beijing, please tell Eunuch Gao not to send me any more. I feel ashamed to accept it."

The young eunuch smiled.

"You'd better talk to him in person about this matter. It's getting late and I still have to go to Lu's Xuan Paper. Please ask General He to send someone to lead the way."

He Zhao stood up

"Let me lead the way for you, sir."

Jiang Sheng said something to Nie Wushuang and followed him back.

At this time, the Lu family members were busy at Langweixian, so He Zhao and Jiang Sheng took their people directly to the shop.

When they got there, it was lunchtime in the store. The officers and soldiers brought by He Zhao shouted the imperial decree, and everyone in the store immediately knelt down.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the tainted reputation of the State Guardian General's Office has been cleared, and Lu Lin is posthumously conferred the title of General of the Cavalry, and Lu Wenzhou is conferred the title of General of the Chariot Cavalry. Effective immediately, Lu Zhenghe, Lu Ming, and Lu Wenchuan's titles and military ranks are restored, their land and houses are returned, and they may return to the capital under the escort of the He family. I decree this."

Ye Rong and Qin Shu looked at each other, their eyes full of shock.

Can they go back now?

Can the Lu family return to the capital?

Qin Shu now has a lot of questions in her mind. One of the stigmas of the Lu family is that Lu Ming was absent from his post, and the other is that her husband made a mistake in command. Could it be that both of these things have been investigated clearly?

Ye Rong wiped away tears excitedly. Their Lu family had finally waited for this day.

It no longer matters whether she returns to the capital or not, or whether she enjoys wealth and glory or not. What matters is that her son and grandson no longer have to bear such a stigma, and the tens of thousands of Lu family soldiers have also been vindicated. This is already the best outcome.

It’s so wonderful that my son and my grandson can finally rest in peace.

Lu Zhenghe took the imperial edict, and the young eunuch smiled and said

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince specifically asked me to tell the General that the weather is still warm now, but it will get colder as time goes by. If possible, it is better to set off earlier."

Lu Zhenghe whispered

"Okay, let's pack up here and get ready to go back."

Lu Zhenghe whispered

"Eunuch, what is the situation in Beijing now?"

The young eunuch said with a smile

"The Xiao family was implicated, the eldest prince committed suicide, the second prince was demoted to a commoner, Prime Minister Zhang retired and returned home, and the crown prince is now acting as regent for Your Majesty. He handles both government and state affairs with ease. It won't be difficult for Dongchen to restore its former glory in the future."

What outsiders heard was that Jun Ze was now the supreme honor that everyone expected, but only Lu Zhenghe understood how much effort Jun Ze had to put in to get to this point, and how many times he had to face life on the line. One careless move could have resulted in eternal damnation. That child was not only for himself, but also for them.

The young eunuch was also a very smart man. Seeing that Lu Zhenghe was a little sad, he said

"Everything will be fine in the future. With you in charge, there is nothing that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince cannot accomplish. He was your support in the past, and in the future you and the General's Mansion will also be his support. This is the meaning of family."

Lu Zhenghe bowed

"Sir, that makes sense."

After the Lu family members stood up, the diners around them congratulated them one after another. Lu Xuan happily waved his hand.

"To celebrate our happy event, all of Laweixian is free today."

"it is good!"

"Boss Lu is generous!"

"it is good!"

"Congratulations, boss!"

"Congratulations to the Lu family for clearing their name!"

Lu Zhenghe said to Jiang Sheng

"Sheng'er, take this eunuch to rest. Spicy Immortal is too busy today. We can prepare a banquet for him tomorrow."

This young eunuch is also a very discerning person, and he quickly said

"Why bother Doctor Jiang? We can just go to the post station by ourselves."

This man is a general who protects the country and the biological grandfather of the current crown prince. His future honors and favors are immeasurable. How could a mere eunuch like him order him around?

Even if he was sincere, he didn't dare to use it.

Jiang Sheng smiled and said

"Grandfather, leave this matter to me, you go ahead and get busy."

Lu Zhenghe asked someone to put away the imperial edict and went back to the shop.

Jiang Sheng and He Zhao went to settle the young eunuch, and they were on their way back to Laweixian.

"Shengsheng, you want to go back to the capital with the Lu family too, right?"
