The mistress was reborn and broke off the engagement, the regent cried and begged to marry into the

"The task is arduous and the road ahead is long. If we are afraid of difficulties and dangers in everything in the world, how can we succeed?" Shangguan Haitong insisted on taking this path.

I don't ask for the benefits to come for generations to come, I only hope that they will benefit future generations.

If you want to protect the family you have lost, you must start changing from the source.

Xie Qiuguang's eyes were bright, and a smile spread unconsciously from the corners of her lips. Haitong was just such a woman.

Helan Jie looked embarrassed. It was not just a simple danger, but a mistake would lead to the confiscation of property and extermination of the clan.

He looked at the book in his hand with mixed feelings.

Shangguan Haitong smiled and said softly: "Lord Helan, seeing the true content in the history books, are you willing to let them be covered in dust? Such a precious treasure, the hard work of our ancestors, we cherish it but dare not acknowledge it. What is Lord Helan afraid of?"

"Are you afraid of your family being confiscated and your clan being exterminated? Take a good look. Have those who have left their names in history ever feared these things? They are only afraid of one thing: we cannot tell the world the true history, and we dare not tell the world. Their bloodiness, if passed down, can only lead to a miserable life."

"Our ancestors will be greatly disappointed when they see this. Without our integrity and passion, how can we live in this world? If we are hesitant and cowardly, and betray our ancestors, how can we be called gentlemen? That's all I have to say. If Lord Helan has made up his mind, Haitong will not force it."

Helan clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to agree so much in his heart, no, he had already shouted to agree.

But he is not alone. With elderly parents and young children to take care of, how can he not think carefully?

Xie Qiuguang took the history book, gently closed it and put it back into the brocade box: "Lord Helan, it's getting dark, you should go home."

Helan Jie suddenly looked up and saw the dark night outside. It was like a confusing road ahead, not knowing which way to go.

Huanshuang knocked on the door and came in, putting the lamp on the table.

The candle surrounded by the lampshade emits a bright light. The night is no longer cold, but glows with orange warmth.

Shangguan Haitong stood up and said, "It's time for me to go back. Prince, sir, goodbye."

Huanshuang took the brocade box and followed behind. The two of them walked out of the private room and got on the carriage back home.

Helan Jie woke up as if from a dream: "I... I..."

He couldn't say the words that were surging in his heart, and for a moment he felt extremely ashamed.

Xie Qiuguang smiled and said, "Master Helan, go back. For such an important matter, walk around more and think more. There will be an answer."

Helan Jie stood up, bowed, and walked out in a daze. Walking on the street back home, he no longer felt the ease he once had.

Xie Qiuguang stood by the window and looked down. He sighed and shook his folding fan, but he didn't use the fan he brought with him.

Helan Mansion.

Helan Jie walked in and picked up his son who ran out happily. His wife died during childbirth, so he had been both a father and a mother for these years.

I have worked so hard to raise my son, how dare I put myself in danger?

The parents came out smiling.

"Is your son back? The food is cold. I'll go heat it up."

"Don't stand in the yard, come inside. Did something happen today? Why are you back so late?"

Helan responded with a chuckle, but didn't say much. He handed the cake to his father and watched the grandfather and grandson laugh and play.

They are a simple family, and all they want is simple food and a peaceful life.

How could he be selfish? How dare he be selfish?

But, but...

I can still feel the touch of history books in my hands, and as I read the words, I realize more and more how profound history is.

Those buried in the long river of history are not just names, but great souls.

Helan was so absent-minded that the meal was boring.

The parents noticed that he was worried and reminded his grandson not to disturb him.

After dinner, Helan Jie came to the study and sat behind the desk, in a daze.

Be prudent and protect yourself, be brave and fearless...

The mind is pulling and the heart is roaring.

He knew he wanted to do it, and was willing to do it, no matter what the cost...

But he is a son and a father. He must find ways to protect his family...

My father knocked gently on the door.

Helan Jie stood up hurriedly: "Dad, why are you here?"

My father came into the room and smiled gently: "You seem to be worried. What happened? We will handle everything together."

Helan Jie lowered his eyes, and after a moment he spoke out his true feelings: "There is an important thing that I want to do and am willing to do. But it is very risky, and the whole family will be in trouble if there is any mistake. This is a difficult thing, and even if I put in a lot of effort, I may not succeed. But this thing is meaningful."

No one knows a son better than his father. The father understood: "Son, if you want to do it, just do it. We are a family of four, and we stand together."

"Dad." Helan was in a dilemma. Dad didn't know what the matter was, and what the consequences would be if he supported it.

"Listen to me." The father patted his son on the shoulder. "The two biggest and most difficult things in life are life and death. We are happy to be born together. It's also a blessing to die together. My son, whatever you want to do, just do it."

The mother walked in with her grandson, smiling: "Yes. It's better to give it a try than to regret it later."

The son looked up and said firmly, "What Dad wants to do must be very important. I am willing to follow."

Helan Jie looked at his family with tears in his eyes. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Dad and Mom, and thank you, my good son."

"What's the big deal about family?"

"It's not worth being upset over a little thing. Come, my dear grandson. We haven't finished our snack yet."

"Don't eat too much at night. Your teeth won't be able to handle it."

Fortunately, I have family.

Helan Jie clenched his fists, his eyes firm.

He wants to take this road!

Shangguanfu.

Shangguan Haitong drank the soup slowly and said, "Second sister sneaked out, you really didn't know?"

Ruhong and Yunping nodded.

"The second girl ran away without telling anyone. When we found her, she was gone."

"Madame Tussauds and her men searched everywhere, turning the whole house upside down but still couldn't find it."

Shangguan Haitong lowered his eyes and said, "I understand. You can go down now."

Ruhong and Yunping retreated in fear.

Huan Shuang didn't believe it at all: "I think they will definitely help, otherwise how can the second young lady leave the house smoothly?"

"They are my second sister's personal maids, so it's only natural for them to obey orders." Shangguan Haitong recalled Shi Wangxi's face, "Watch her more closely in the mansion these days, and don't let her run away again. If she still doesn't obey after being locked up, we can only..."

After taking a look at her master's ruthless face, Huanshuang lowered her head. The girl was really angry.

the other side.

Ruhong and Yunping returned to the yard.

Shangguan Sitong sat under the eaves and admired the moon: "Where did you go? You didn't even leave a servant with you."

The two men walked forward with smiles and sat down on the left and right.

Ruhong asked curiously, "Girl, did something different happen when you went out today?"

"Nothing special. But I met some interesting people." Shangguan Sitong had no interest in this topic.

The two maids looked at each other.

Yun Ping asked carefully: "Interesting? How interesting?"

Shangguan Sitong stared at the moon infatuatedly: "Don't talk about them. Look how round the moon is. I wonder if Wei Cheng is doing well."

Wei Cheng? It turns out that he was looking at the moon and thinking about someone.

Ruhong pursed her lips: "It should be fine."

Yun Ping nodded in agreement: "The eldest lady will not send you on any dangerous missions. You will return naturally when the matter is over."

"How long do we have to wait?" Shangguan Sitong was a little discouraged.

There is only one moon in the sky. Is Wei Cheng looking at it too?
