Reborn to be replaced? Remarried to the royal palace, raising children and training husband
Chapter 284: Self-pity
Dongfang Hongye dismounted, handed the whip to the servant beside him, walked towards Gu Qinlan with a smile, and asked:
"Have you been waiting for a long time? I was tripped up by some trivial matters just now. Come, I will take you to see my father."
Dongfang Hongye shook Gu Qinlan's hand enthusiastically and nodded slightly to Zheng Dinglian as a greeting.
Under Dongfang Hongye's guidance, Gu Qinlan followed her into Dongfang Mansion. On the way, Gu Qinlan asked Dongfang Hongye softly:
"Sister, you don't look very well. Is it because Shangshu Dou is unhappy about the bet? If so, Prince Duan and I will go and explain to him when we return..."
"He dares to get angry? I'll let him know how powerful I am! Sister Qin Lan, you don't have to worry. That man is a cowardly guy, timid and cowardly. He doesn't even dare to say a word when his own son is bullied!"
Dongfang Hongye interrupted Gu Qinlan's words directly, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she mercilessly criticized Minister Dou! Although she was careless on weekdays, she was not stupid, and she could naturally sense the grievances that Dou Qianqian suffered in the Imperial College. However, the child did not tell her, so she had no way of knowing.
At this moment, Zheng Dinglian and Gu Qinlan appeared together in front of the gate of Dongfang General's Mansion. They had agreed with Dongfang Hongye to meet here and were waiting for her arrival.
Soon, Dongfang Hongye came hurriedly on horseback. Although she still maintained her heroic image, Gu Qinlan still caught sight of the fatigue on her face.
"Sister Dongfang." Gu Qinlan stepped forward.
At this moment, now that she knew the truth, how could she bear to let the children shrink back?
Gu Qinlan saw this and instinctively wanted to continue to comfort her, but Dongfang Hongye had already held her hand tightly, with a warm smile on his face, and said gently:
"My dear sister, you don't have to worry. Since I have decided to live only for Qianqian from now on, I will never allow any force to hinder Qianqian's future. I have made up my mind about this matter."
Gu Qinlan looked at Dongfang Hongye. Although her eyes were full of fatigue, they were still clear and bright. She knew that the other party had not concealed anything from her, so she nodded slightly with relief and said:
"Okay, but if you need anything in the future, please let me know."
"Of course! If you don't lend a helping hand, I will never let you go easily!" Dongfang Hongye smiled and put his arm around Gu Qinlan's shoulders. As he walked into the house, he excitedly called out:
"Father! I'm back! Come and see which distinguished guest I brought you?"
"presumptuous!"
A roar like thunder suddenly exploded, and a spear with shining silver light shot out like a dragon out of the sea, heading straight towards Dongfang Hongye.
Dongfang Hongye was shocked and hurriedly pushed Gu Qinlan away from danger. Then he drew out the long whip hanging around his waist and faced the enemy head-on resolutely.
Gu Qinlan's body was unstable and she stumbled back two steps, almost falling to the ground. Fortunately, a strong hand reached out from behind and supported her waist steadily, allowing her to stabilize her body.
"Are you okay?"
Zheng Dinglian's voice was gentle and concerned. Gu Qinlan looked back at him and shook her head subconsciously: "I'm fine."
However, her eyes quickly caught the worry on Zheng Dinglian's face. In addition to worry, there was also a trace of unspeakable guilt in his eyes.
Gu Qinlan was keenly aware of Zheng Dinglian's mood.
He used to be an invincible god of war on the battlefield, a brave general who made the enemy tremble with fear, and a pillar of stability in the army. But now, he can only sit in a wheelchair, unable to stretch his hands and feet freely. This huge contrast is a heavy blow to anyone, especially a gifted man like Zheng Dinglian.
Despite this, Gu Qinlan had never seen Zheng Dinglian complain about himself.
Even though she was a skilled doctor, Zheng Dinglian's ability to recover the mobility of his hands in such a short time was all due to his own unremitting efforts. She knew that Zheng Dinglian must have worked very hard silently during that time.
Thinking of this, Gu Qinlan took the initiative to squat down, tightly grasped Zheng Dinglian's hand, and said with a firm look:
"I'm really fine, Zheng Dinglian, you've done an excellent job."
Zheng Dinglian was slightly stunned, looking at Gu Qinlan holding his hand in astonishment. Her hands were small and delicate, and her two small hands tightly holding one of his palms made her even more petite and adorable.
His eyes met Gu Qinlan's. There seemed to be countless stars twinkling in those beautiful eyes. Just one glance was enough to make people intoxicated.
Zheng Dinglian seemed to hear the sound of his own heartbeat.
After a while, he came back to his senses, his lips moved slightly, and he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by Gu Qinlan. She held his hand tightly, as if to pass on her strength, and said gently:
"I know you need to recover as soon as possible to protect Prince Duan's Mansion. But things like this need to be done step by step. You can't be impatient, and you don't need to feel guilty."
"You are still the strong pillar of Prince Duan's Mansion. No one will look down on you unless you look down on yourself first."
"In my heart, you will always be a great hero who deserves my admiration."
After Gu Qinlan finished speaking, she let go of Zheng Dinglian's hand and gave him a warm smile.
That smile was like the warm sunshine in spring, which warmed Zheng Dinglian's heart, as if he saw the beautiful scenery of flowers blooming in spring! However, compared with the flowers, Qin Lan's smile was more dazzling.
These days, Zheng Dinglian thought he had concealed himself well, but in the end he was seen through by Gu Qinlan. He couldn't pick up his spear like before, which made him feel useless from time to time.
Although he knew that this was only temporary, Zheng Dinglian was still very anxious.
However, at this moment, in Gu Qinlan's smile, the confusion and tension in his heart seemed to be blown away, turning into a wisp of smoke and disappearing.
He let out a long sigh and smiled at Gu Qinlan.
Hearing this, Gu Qinlan's eyes moved and a faint smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. She blinked her eyes slightly but said nothing, leaving a hint of suspense.
At this moment, Dongfang Hongye was having a fierce battle with an old man!
The old man was wearing a dark blue robe, and his hair and beard had turned white with time. He looked old and frail, but the ink-black spear in his hand was like a divine weapon carrying the weight of a mountain, and every move he made was as steady as a mountain.
The long whip in Dongfang Hongye's hand is as agile as a gossamer. When she dances, it seems as if the wind is blowing over the hills, light and graceful, showing a kind of calmness and composure of "no matter how strong the wind and clouds are, I will remain unmoved".
However, there was a gap in strength after all. After dozens of rounds of fighting, the old man's spear was like a dragon's tail, and with one strike, Dongfang Hongye was directly pushed back.
Dongfang Hongye staggered backwards until his back hit the wall, and he was able to barely steady himself.
"Dad! I am your biological daughter! How could you be so cruel and merciless?"
After Dongfang Hongye steadied herself, she immediately put the whip in her hand back to her waist, walked back to General Dongfang with dissatisfaction, hugged his arm, and started to complain in a coquettish manner.
