Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

She actually leaned over and knelt on the ground, crawling towards Shao Xingjian, climbing up his slender legs, "If you feel it's inappropriate, this matter can only be known by you and me. I promise that I will not entangle you in the future. As long as you ask, I will leave immediately, okay?"

She was probably crazy.

Thinking of this, Shao Xingjian pulled up his outer shirt to cover his watery eyes.

I closed my eyes, cleared the clutter in my mind, and gradually calmed down.

He regarded Yu Qinglian's behavior as absurd and self-degrading, but in fact, the fact that she chose to behave like this today showed that she was desperate.

The trembling of her whole body and the forced calmness in her eyes said it all.

Realizing his own despicable behavior, Shao Xingjian looked unhappy.

Gently holding down Yu Qinglian's hand as she tried to tear off her coat, Shao Xingjian opened his mouth and said, "If I refuse to help you today, what are you going to do?"

Yu Qinglian stopped moving, she seemed to be thinking about this question seriously.

"My life was saved by my aunt. It is worth dying for her. If the eldest master thinks that my actions today are inappropriate and looks down on me, even if the lady criticizes me, I will go and ask for a doctor for my aunt."

No.

There was a rare indifference on the face covered by the coat.

Yu Qinglian had never been so clear-headed.

If Shao Xingjian refused to help her, then she would go and ask Shao Jinsheng for help. This was her only life. If she died, with her aunt's personality, she would not live alone even if she recovered from her illness. Yu Qinglian could not bear to see her cry in the yard every day.

All men in the world are the same. She knew that Shao Xingjian would not want to hear such an answer, so she said the answer he wanted to hear.

This way, he should be satisfied.

As she expected, after a moment, the outer shirt covering her head was gently lifted. Facing Shao Xingjian's somewhat warm eyes, Yu Qinglian blinked, "Young Master."

"Go back," Shao Xingjian pressed his forehead, "I will just pretend that what happened today never happened. I have already asked someone to call a doctor for Aunt Yu."

He said, "Do you think I am the kind of person who will only help others if I have to get something in return?"

Yu Qinglian had imagined many possible outcomes before coming here.

For example, Shao Xingjian really agreed to her ridiculous request. After the two of them were fooling around, their wife found out and beat her half to death.

Or maybe he was disgusted by such behavior and scolded her harshly for her wild ideas and accused her of being shameless.

Or maybe he would be a very gentleman, making her behavior seem very despicable and she would have nowhere to hide.

But I never thought it would be this way.

So what was the purpose of his behavior just now?

Taunting? Testing? Humiliating?

Want to see how far she can go?

Yu Qinglian didn’t know, nor did she really want to know. At this moment, she just wanted to hold her clothes tightly, then lower her head and walk out of here quietly.

"That's not the case. I know that the eldest son is a gentleman, but the people I meet are different from him. What I have, what I can give away and be appreciated by others, are just these."

She didn't know what else to say. She knelt on the ground hastily and kowtowed twice to Shao Xingjian. Then she stood up, put on her clothes one by one, and walked out with a pale face.

However, Yu Qinglian didn't even have time to pick up her shame and hurried back to where Aunt Yu lived.

The doctor just came out of Aunt Yu's room.

This was an old man who was already over fifty years old. Yu Qinglian went up to him as soon as she saw him and asked in a hurried tone, "How is my aunt doing?"

The doctor shook his head. "It's been too long. If you had asked me to come a few days earlier, it wouldn't be a big problem. But even if the disease is mild, it's hard to delay treatment. What's more, the concubine inside is weak. Even if it's cured, I'm afraid it will leave a root cause of the disease in the future."

But this was no longer bad news for Qinglian. She didn't care about regret or sadness, and shook her head. "Let's slowly treat the disease. As long as my aunt can wake up, it will be fine."

"That's not a big problem," the doctor stroked his beard, "I'll prescribe a prescription and boil some medicine for this aunt to take. The condition should be much better tomorrow."

The doctor was kindhearted and reminded Yu Qinglian, "There is a friend named Gu in the Beijing Medical Hall. Her medical skills are very mysterious. The rejuvenation pill she developed before is very useful for conditioning the body. In two days, friend Gu may come to the Beijing Medical Hall for consultation. You can ask for one then."

Yu Qinglian suddenly looked up, "Didn't Doctor Gu go to Chizhou?"

"He was just visiting relatives. I heard yesterday that he came back. I heard the shopkeeper say that he would see patients in two days. I don't know if it's true or not. You can try your luck."

"Thank you, doctor."

After seeing the doctor off, Yu Qinglian almost cried for joy.

Knowing that it was inconvenient for her to go out, Shao Xingjian's followers went outside to get the medicine and gave it to her.

After decocting the medicine and helping her aunt take it, Yu Qinglian continued to search for those things of hers that could be considered valuable.

Doctor Gu had already helped her without asking for anything in return, so how could she have the nerve to ask him for the rejuvenation elixir?

Although it was very likely that Doctor Gu would give her the rejuvenation elixir, Yu Qinglian was too embarrassed to do so. The shame of being asked for more was even more embarrassing than being naked in front of Shao Xingjian just now.

She searched through all the jewelry her aunt had given her, planning to find an opportunity to pawn them for some silver.

……

Gu Qinghe took Luo Feng back to the General's Mansion. As soon as they walked out of the Duke's Mansion, the little guy began to chatter away, telling her what had happened in the Duke's Mansion in the past two days.

Although he is not very old, Luo Feng is a child who can read people's faces very well. He knows who is kind to him from the bottom of their heart, and who is kind to him because of their father.

This is also the reason why he hates those women who approach him and try to please him because of Shao Wei.

"I don't like anyone here except my great-grandmother, Uncle He."

Gu Qinghe squeezed his little hand, "Why? Did they bully you?"

"No," Luo Feng said in a low voice, "I can see that they don't like Daddy, and they don't like me either."

The people of the Second House had originally disliked Shao Wei. Although their attitude had eased a little because of Shao Wei's current status, after all, this child was not one that grew up in front of them. In addition, Shao Kunping had no feelings for Shao Wei's biological mother, not to mention Hu. She probably hoped that Shao Wei would die on the battlefield to give their Second House a good reputation.

Gu Qinghe asked him, "If they don't like you, will you be sad?"

"I'm not sad, but I'm a little angry. Why don't they like Daddy?"

This question is really hard to explain. Gu Qinghe thought for a moment and said, "This is a bit complicated to explain, but your father no longer needs their love."
