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

Ming Xuan took a breath and said softly, "Before I came here this time, my father was very angry. My mother secretly came to my room and told me to talk to you carefully. I am telling you all this today, and I am leaving it to you to make your own choice."

"You have your own legs, and you are a very opinionated person. Even if you are tied up with a rope, you can still run away if you are determined, just like this time." Ming Xuan smiled bitterly, "Rather than alienating you from your family, it is better to give you the choice. If you insist on staying in the military camp, I will go back and tell my parents. After all, they still have me as their daughter."

Mingsheng hadn't reacted yet. He just felt that this matter was a farce and his mind was in a daze and not very clear.

Mingxuan stood up and patted his shoulder. "You don't like to manage the family business, so I'm in charge now. But my parents are old and powerless. Even if they pass on their half-life experience to me, I can't handle such a big business by myself."

"You want to join the army. Dad and mom know that you have a kind heart and want to make your life meaningful and do something for the people. There is nothing wrong with that. But Mingsheng, remember, there are many things in this world that can make your life meaningful. Do you think all the supplies and silver that Dad and mom have sent to the army over the years came out of thin air?"

"You don't want to do business, so your parents let you do it. They let you study literature, pass the imperial examinations, and become an official. In the future, you will be a good official who works for the welfare of the people. You should know that being a good official is not as easy as fighting on the battlefield. Do you think it is easy to stick to your original intention and not go along with those corrupt officials?"

That was all that needed to be said. Mingxuan asked him to think about it carefully and turned to walk out.

Gu Qinghe was still waiting for her in the yard. Shao Wei said there would be snow tomorrow. She was thinking about moving a few flowers in the yard into pots and moving them into the house, otherwise all the flowers and plants would be frozen to death after a snowfall.

But there was charcoal burning in the house, and I was worried that after moving the flowers into the house, they would not be able to withstand the warmth and would wither first.

As he was hesitating, he turned around and saw Mingxuan had already walked out. He was a little surprised and asked in a low voice, "So soon?"

Ming Xuan waved at her and pulled her out of the yard. "We have said everything that needs to be said. It is up to him to decide next."

Turning his head to look at her, Gu Qinghe asked, "What if he still decides to stay in the military camp?"

"Then let him stay in the barracks," Ming Xuan sat on the stool and shrugged. "Throughout history, many people have gone to war with the determination to die. It's just a statement that I don't know if it's true or not. If he really wants to stay, I respect him. I still have my parents to look after me."

Gu Qinghe also sat down, "Didn't you want to tie him up and take him back just now?"

"What can we do if we tie him up and take him back? Unless he can figure it out on his own, we have to watch him like a criminal all the time."

This is not the most important thing. Mingxuan really wanted to figure it out because of one thing.

She was full of anger as she hurried all the way here, but the moment she saw Ming Sheng, all her anger turned into heartache and helplessness.

Mingsheng has grown up and has his own ideas. He is no longer the little brat who follows her around and acts like a bully.

The relationship between the two siblings has always been very good. Mingxuan doesn't want Mingsheng to feel resentment towards her or his parents because of this incident.

No matter how much they say or do, they can't stop and protect you forever.

She took a sip of hot tea, sighed, and started to change the topic to Gu Qinghe. "Someone came to me specifically to ask if you had something similar to the southern Xinjiang Gu worm and used it on Shao Wei and his son."

Gu Qinghe almost spit out a mouthful of hot tea when he heard this, "What the hell is this talking about? This is a bit ridiculous."

"Almost everyone in the capital knows that the boy from General Shao's family is not easy to get along with, but you can get along with him so well. Naturally, these people think that you have some tricks or secret medicine or something like that."

The two looked at each other, both feeling amused and confused. Mingxuan spread her hands, "Since General Shao emerged and was appreciated by His Majesty, many people in the capital have set their sights on him. Although everyone knows that General Shao has a son, they have never taken him seriously. After all, the general's mansion has no mistress, and he is just a child. He will never have the dignity of a child born by a legitimate mother."

In the deep courtyard, if Shao Wei went to the military camp, only the mistress and Luo Feng would be left in the general's mansion. Could it be that a child could not be controlled?

"Although children are innocent, their hearts are like a mirror, which can best reflect the filth in people's hearts. These people have never used their true heart, but they still think that others are ungrateful. It's really ridiculous to say that."

Gu Qinghe did not comment on this, but asked thoughtfully: "I heard that the Prime Minister's Mansion doesn't seem to be doing well now..."

Speaking of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Ming Xuan immediately opened up, "It's not just not good. I heard that Li Qiulian somehow angered Prime Minister Li. When I came, she was still under house arrest. Normally, no matter what trouble she got into, the Prime Minister's wife would protect her, and she would probably be released the next day, but this time, for some reason, the Prime Minister didn't even give his wife face."

As she spoke, Ming Xuan sighed softly, "It seems that the trouble she caused this time must be quite serious, otherwise the Prime Minister would not be so angry."

angry?

Gu Qinghe's lips twitched slightly, with no emotion in his eyes.

It seems that the Prime Minister has not yet informed his wife of Gu Qinghe's identity.

The reason why he didn't dare to tell was very simple. He simply felt that his wife had schemed to harm Gu Qinghe in order to protect Li Qiulian. If she knew the truth, she would be in great pain.

Or maybe it was because he felt sorry for Li Qiulian and was afraid that his wife would vent her anger on Li Qiulian if she knew the truth. As a husband, he knew how much his wife cared about their daughter whose life or death was unknown.

Now he has not found the right opportunity to tell the Prime Minister's wife about this matter.

Mingxuan looked up and around, then approached mysteriously, "I have another piece of news for you."

Gu Qinghe looked over and asked, "What?"

"Before I came, His Majesty arranged for a military supervisor to come to Chizhou. Can you guess who this person is?"

Judging from her expression, this person should be someone Gu Qinghe knows but never expected.

She thought about it and realized that the military supervisor during the war with Lirang in her previous life seemed to be a somewhat rigid official in the court. It was said that during the war, this person had a quarrel with Shao Wei because of a disagreement, and was finally tied up by Shao Wei with a hemp rope. He was not released until the battle was won.

The first thing this man did after returning to Beijing was to complain to the emperor. However, the emperor was so overjoyed at Shao Wei's great victory that he naturally did not blame him too harshly and only said a few symbolic words to him.

Thinking of Shao Wei's style of doing things, Gu Qinghe almost laughed.
