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

The Duke's two daughters are named Shao Jingxian and Shao Jingshu. Of the two sisters, Shao Jingxian just got married last year, and Shao Jingshu is also old enough to get married.

Now the Duke's Mansion is helping her find a suitable husband.

However, Shao Jingshu had very high standards and admired her brother very much. She did not take seriously anyone who was not as good-looking and well-behaved as her brother. But in the entire capital, there were only a few who could compare to Shao Xingjian, and she could not find them even if she counted them on her fingers.

As a result, Shao Jingshu was often criticized by the Duke's wife on weekdays. Just when she was feeling annoyed, a "cousin" of humble status came to the Duke's Mansion.

This cousin was brought here by Aunt Yu from the Duke's Mansion. Aunt Yu was a gentle person who never fought for anything. She was quite loved by the Duke. It was also with the Duke's consent that she brought her niece Yu Qinglian to the Duke's Mansion.

But in Shao Jingshu's opinion, being gentle as water and not fighting or competing are all just the means and schemes of this Aunt Yu.

If you really don't fight for wealth and fame, why would you want to be someone else's concubine?

My mother said that a good woman would never become a concubine.

If you become a concubine, the children you give birth to will be shorter than others.

Take Shao Wei for example. He has such great abilities and is praised by the emperor for his outstanding military exploits. However, when people talk about him, they often add a word of regret after praising him - it's a pity that he is a bastard.

He is also an unfavored bastard.

Shao Jingshu hated her aunt and concubines, and naturally she hated the niece brought by this aunt even more.

In addition, Yu Qinglian's character was even softer than Aunt Yu's. From a distance, she looked like someone who was easy to bully, which magnified Shao Jingshu's malice infinitely.

Seeing Yu Qinglian collapse to the ground in fear from the arrow, Shao Jingshu laughed and clapped her hands, "Excellent, excellent, how about it? I just said that Master Lin is very good at archery. You are such a big man standing here, and those arrows can't hurt you."

Gu Qinghe and Mingxuan happened to hear this. Mingxuan was immediately furious and said angrily, "Half of her face is almost covered in blood. How can she say she wasn't hurt?"

As she said this, she was about to step forward to help Yu Qinglian up. Gu Qinghe wanted to hold her back, but the moment she reached out her hand, she hesitated.

Judging from the looks of the two girls from the Duke's Mansion, it would be fine if no one went to help Yu Qinglian. But if someone did, they would probably remember it.

Yu Qinglian has been frightened today, so she should not be in trouble for a while.

Reason told Gu Qinghe that she should not take action, but the moment she tried to pull Mingxuan, she saw Yu Qinglian's eyes.

As quiet as dead water.

She seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of scene, thinking that being bullied was the norm, so she quickly calmed down after her extreme fear.

But the body has not recovered yet, and the trembling still exists.

Gu Qinghe wondered, what she needed was the rational attitude of standing by and watching, or the impulsive but warm attitude of pulling her up and holding her hand behind her back.

Yu Qinglian’s reaction gave the answer. She seemed surprised by Yu Mingxuan’s arrival and was pulled up by her in a daze.

Gu Qinghe sighed and walked forward. She took out a clean handkerchief and handed it to Yu Qinglian, asking her to temporarily cover the wound that seemed insignificant at first glance but was now bleeding more and more.

Seeing this situation, Shao Jingshu naturally refused to do it.

She knew Mingxuan and had seen Gu Qinghe in the old lady's yard last time. If it had happened before, Shao Jingshu would have definitely made a fuss, but Gu Qinghe had just finished treating the old lady, and Shao Wei's attitude towards Gu Qinghe made her unable to guess for a while.

He had to restrain his temper a little, stepped forward with a stern face, raised his hand and pulled Yu Qinglian, "Why are you pretending to be so small with such a small wound? Others don't even know where the door of the Princess's Mansion is. Do you know why you can stand in the Princess's Mansion?"

Yu Qinglian covered her face and whispered, "I know."

But no one knew that she didn't care whether she could see where the door to the Princess's Mansion was, and she didn't want to stand here like a fool or a dog to be entertained by the young masters and ladies from powerful families.

She just wanted to avoid getting her aunt in trouble.

Her aunt is her only relative.

My aunt told her to be patient and that after some time, she would talk to the Duke about it and ask him to help her find a husband, and everything would be fine after she got married.

Yu Qinglian felt a little uneasy, but also a little expectant.

She is like an object that needs to be taken over, or like a pet that must rely on others to survive. Meeting a good owner is more important than anything else.

And her husband's family, whose name she didn't even know, was her hope for the rest of her life.

She told her aunt that she didn't need someone with outstanding looks or a lot of money in her family. She stammered for a long time. Her aunt sighed and rubbed her head. She said nothing, but it seemed like she had said everything.

In Qinglian's mind, all she needs to do every day when she opens her eyes is to be patient.

We have to accept both the good and the bad.

She looked at Mingxuan and Gu Qinghe with some apology in her eyes, and her voice was very soft, "I'm fine."

Shao Jingshu snorted and was about to say that it was okay and she could just continue standing here and holding up the target, but Li Qiulian interrupted her.

Li Qiulian was in a very good mood. She looked at Yu Qinglian with sympathy in her eyes. She exclaimed a few times and even asked a maid to come over and help Yu Qinglian sit aside.

Then he slowly looked at Gu Qinghe and said, "I see that Doctor Gu seems to be quite sympathetic to the young lady, but in a competition, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. Since Miss Yu is unwilling to stand in the middle of the archery range, how about Doctor Gu standing here for her?"

Gu Qinghe raised his eyelids and glanced at her.

Li Qiulian covered her lips and smiled, "Doctor Gu, you won't be unwilling, I think the red spot on your face is quite suitable as a target. This way, you don't have to hold anything in your hands. It's really perfect."

"I see Miss Li is dressed like a parrot today, which makes her very suitable to be a target here. With such bright colors, it can be seen clearly from ten miles away, so there is no need to worry about the arrow going astray."

"Hahahahahahahaha..." Mingxuan was the first one who couldn't help laughing. In order to save a little face for Li Qiulian, Mingxuan even restrained her laughter to avoid retaliation from this petty-minded person in the future.

In the end, even after he restrained himself, he could not escape the resentful glare from Li Qiulian.

She could only touch her nose and muttered softly, "You're right, it really does look like a parrot."

Li Qiulian had been living a life of being the center of attention for so many years. She had never been humiliated like this before. She was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and waved at Gu Qinghe, "Bitch!"
