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

"Let's eat first."

Gu Qinghe was distracted while eating because she had something on her mind. Not only Shao Wei but even Luo Feng, who was sitting next to her and eating his meal obediently, could notice her state.

Blinking twice, Luo Feng winked at Huo Shibei beside him.

What did Daddy say to Sister Gu?

Huo Shibei looked puzzled. Before he could look back, Shao Wei looked over here. His majestic gaze made Luo Feng curl his lips.

“Focus on your meal.”

Gu Qinghe thought that this was directed at him, and quickly stuffed a mouthful of rice into his mouth, "Oh."

Shao Wei shifted his gaze and pursed his lips. "I just brought him back and was busy on the road. Plus, he didn't trust Huo Shibei, so he hasn't rested for a few days. He fell asleep yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. It's useless for you to go there now."

If it were someone else, Gu Qinghe would have been so scared that he would stand up, thinking that he might have died in his sleep.

But Shao Wei is a cautious person, and he thinks Niu Jun should be fine for the time being.

There was no point in being anxious, Gu Qinghe nodded and continued to eat obediently.

"Did you meet the King of Wu today?"

Huo Shibei raised his head and glanced at the two of them. "What does it have to do with King Wu?"

Shao Wei said expressionlessly, "Eat your meal."

"..."

Huo Shibei pouted and picked up a piece of meat for Luo Feng. "Look, you've been eating rice for a long time, but your father hasn't picked up any vegetables for you. You still have to rely on Uncle Huo at this critical moment. Come, have a piece of meat."

Luo Feng took the bowl and dodged to the side, shaking his head with a look of disgust, "It's too fat."

Huo Shibei: "..."

This father and son are both equally annoying.

He grunted and stuffed the meat into his mouth.

What's so fat about it? It's just the right amount of delicious.

Gu Qinghe was amused by the two, her eyebrows curved, and when she answered Shao Wei, her tone was also somewhat smiling, "I see."

"Then he should have recognized you. Be careful when you go out these days and don't leave Gao Cun's sight."

Gu Qinghe didn't know the style of the King of Wu. She was a little unsure. "If he attacks me, doesn't it just prove that he is guilty and suspects my purpose of approaching Princess Pingyang?"

Shao Wei shook his head. Although he and King Wu did not have a deep connection, from what he had heard, if it had nothing to do with the disappearance of the genius doctor Lu Zhiyao, then what King Wu had done over the years should not be considered bad. It can even be said that few people in the capital would speak highly of King Wu when talking about him.

A gentleman is judged by deeds rather than intentions. The King of Wu has indeed done a lot of good deeds over the years.

If Lu Zhiyao's disappearance was related to him, then he didn't take action against Gu Qinghe before, perhaps because he thought that a girl like her would not be able to cause any trouble.

But it’s different now. Since Gu Qinghe has found Prince Wu’s Mansion and is close to Pingyang, he has to be cautious.

The best approach is undoubtedly to eradicate the threat before it grows.

"So what if it proves that he is guilty?" Since the King of Wu dared to send people to attack her, he would never let her get hold of his evidence easily.

He could have denied it. After all, no one would think that the King of Wu, who was known as a good man, would be so cruel as to assassinate a lonely woman.

Gu Qinghe shook her head, the smile on her face was extremely bitter, "What you said does make sense, but I would rather he really send someone to assassinate me. If that is the case, regardless of whether he can reveal his true colors, at least the possibility of my mother being alive is much greater for me."

If my mother was already dead, why would the King of Wu go to so much trouble to send someone to assassinate her? Wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Shao Wei was slightly stunned. People who are usually calm and steady will always be extra calm when thinking about problems. However, besides being calm, they can't help but appear a little unkind.

He whispered, "You have a point."

Huo Shibei and Luo Feng, who were completely ignored, were very tactful and just focused on eating, as if they were not even at the table.

Luo Feng even acted like a little adult and kicked Huo Shibei under the table when he wanted to interrupt, signaling him to shut up.

Huo Shibei rolled his eyes more today than he had in this year.

He finally understood why Shao Wei's expression was always so indescribable every time he saw him surrounded by girls in Yuexin Building.

After the meal, Luo Feng, with his eyes wide open, looked at this and that. Before Shao Wei could speak fiercely, Huo Shibei pulled him aside and whispered in his ear, "Do you miss your mother?"

Luo Feng also whispered, "I would like to if Sister Gu is willing."

Huo Shibei, "Then how can you follow them? How can you have the nerve to talk to them if you follow them? Think about it carefully. After the three of us go out, I will also find a way to slip away, so that your father and Doctor Gu can be alone together. If you think about it this way, isn't the hope that Doctor Gu will become your mother a little bit greater?"

No matter how much she pretends to be mature, she is still a child. With just a few words, Luo Feng was coaxed into happiness, as if he would be able to hug Gu Qinghe's thighs and call her mother in a moment.

"Then I won't go." Luo Feng said obediently, and then hesitated, "But will this be bad for Sister Gu?"

Although he was young, he knew that letting Sister Gu and Daddy be alone together would be bad for Sister Gu's reputation.

Then I became entangled again.

When Huo Shibei looked at him, it was as if he saw a smaller version of Shao Wei. His serious look made people laugh.

He rubbed Luo Feng's head and said, "If you don't trust me, you can always trust your father. Don't worry, he has his own arrangements."

Luo Feng has unconditional trust and admiration for Shao Wei.

After coaxing Luo Feng, the three of them went to Shao Wei's study again.

Gu Qinghe was a little confused, but didn't say anything.

After entering the study, Shao Wei gently turned the vase on the table, and saw that the wall behind him suddenly opened, revealing a dark secret passage.

Shao Wei was walking in front. Gu Qinghe didn't know what was going on in his mind all of a sudden, he pushed aside Huo Shibei who had already walked forward and followed behind Shao Wei.

Huo Shibei: "..."

He said that these two people were definitely having an affair, but that bastard Shao Wei refused to admit it.

After squeezing him away, Gu Qinghe felt something was wrong and turned back to explain stiffly, "Sorry, I don't dare to walk at the end of this dark path. I always feel like something will grab me."

Huo Shibei: "Oh."

The harsh "oh" made Gu Qinghe feel that Huo Shibei probably didn't believe her explanation. But she really didn't lie. It was pitch dark in the secret passage, and she didn't have extraordinary vision like Shao Wei, a martial artist.

Not only could he not see clearly, but when walking in such a place, Gu Qinghe felt his ears were buzzing and he couldn't tell the direction.

Fortunately, I could hear the sound of Shao Wei's clothes rubbing.

To be safe, Gu Qinghe reached forward and grabbed Shao Wei's sleeve.

In the dark tunnel.

I couldn't tell whose heartbeat was out of rhythm.
