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

But to her, it was just an insignificant sentence. After all, his apology today would not prevent Shao Jingshu from causing trouble for her later.

She lowered her head and returned to Aunt Yu's yard, continuing her timid and cautious life, shrinking her whole body and not daring to take a wrong step.

During these days, Yu Qinglian's only hope was that one day her aunt would help her find a man who was not rich but was sincere and kind, so that she could stay away from all the disputes and live a good life.

However, she didn't know that her life had been out of control since the day she stepped into the gate of the Duke's Mansion.

……

Shao Wei took the sachet and handkerchief given to him by Yu Qinglian and went to Jingshitang with a sense of mission.

Gu Qinghe had seen almost all the patients who came to see her today. The shopkeeper was a smart man. He was afraid that she would be so tired on the first day that she would not want to come later, so he limited the number of patients she could see.

Initially, only ten people were allowed in, but after ten people, Gu Qinghe felt a little reluctant to see the eager gazes of the patients at the back who were sweating profusely but still full of expectation, so he postponed a few more people.

By the time I finally finished the work, the soup that the old lady brought was a little cold.

But it didn't matter. Gu Qinghe opened the lunch box and found it was quite rich, with pastries, tonic soup, and a few exquisite side dishes.

She was indeed hungry, so she ate two pieces of pastries to fill her stomach before she slowed down to taste the dishes and soup.

As expected of the chef from the Duke’s Mansion, the food tastes really delicious.

Just after finishing the meal, Gu Qinghe heard the flattering voice of the shopkeeper outside with a smile.

What kind of big shot is this?

As she was thinking, the shopkeeper knocked on the door and poked his head in, "Doctor Gu, General Shao is here. He said he wants to see you for something."

The shopkeeper is more and more proud of himself today for having caught Gu Qinghe, a good seedling. When he sees his boss again, he will definitely take credit for it.

Shao Wei? Gu Qinghe was stunned, "Let him in quickly."

Shao Wei strode in from outside. He did not go to the training ground today. He went to the Duke's Mansion to see the old lady early in the morning. As a result, his outfit today was different from his usual dull black attire. Today he wore a dark red suit and a black and gold belt, which set off his cold white skin and delicate eyebrows. When he walked in, Gu Qinghe was a little dazed.

Shao Wei was still a little uncomfortable. He looked down at himself and frowned quietly, "Am I weird like this?"

"Not strange, not strange." Gu Qinghe answered quickly, as if he would be sensitive enough to change his clothes if he was a second late.

Seeing his frown relax, Gu Qinghe burst out laughing, "I'm just used to seeing you wearing black and blue, and suddenly you changed to a different color, and it felt like a bright spot in front of my eyes."

Gu Qinghe said seriously: "Maybe you can try the blue color next time. I think it will look good on you."

He had fair skin and a good figure. He wore light blue clothes and had his black hair tied up. He probably looked no different from a teenage boy.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghe became a little impatient.

But she still had some rationality left. She cleared her throat, suppressed her unpresentable thoughts, and asked, "What do you want to talk to me about? But is grandma feeling unwell?"

"No," Shao Wei calmly took out the sachet and handkerchief that Yu Qinglian had given him and handed them to Gu Qinghe, "This was embroidered by Yu Qinglian. She asked me to give it to you, saying thank you for helping her that day. She can't go out, so if she has a chance one day, she will thank you in person."

Gu Qinghe took the sachet and handkerchief, touched the lifelike little rabbit on them, and said with some emotion, "This girl's embroidery is really good."

She didn't have a deep impression of Qinglian. At most, she knew there was such a person in her previous life. When she heard about Qinglian's experience, she sighed that her life was miserable, and then they had no more interactions.

But now that I know what she looks like, and have had these interactions with her, I feel a little sorry for the fate she is about to face.

The feeling of watching someone walk towards the abyss was really bad, and it even reminded her of the time when she learned of Shao Wei's death in her previous life.

Shao Wei was confused and hadn't yet realized why the man's expression changed after he took the handkerchief. After a while, his eyes even turned red.

It would have been fine if it were just that, but she raised her head and looked at him with a very sad look.

Shao Wei's scalp tingled and he stood up suddenly, "Is the handkerchief poisonous?!"

Gu Qinghe: “…”

The sad atmosphere was completely gone at this time. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly grabbed Shao Wei, "How is it possible? It's not poisonous."

Shao Wei was still tense, "Why do you look like this?"

Gu Qinghe touched his nose and said, "I just think this girl is quite pitiful."

“……” Nothing seemed to be wrong, so he sat down, feeling somewhat disappointed.

Shao Wei didn't know much about Yu Qinglian's experience. After all, he lived in the Duke's Mansion and only vaguely knew that person. But since he saw what happened in the Princess's Mansion last time, he could guess Yu Qinglian's daily situation.

"Do you want to help her?" Shao Wei asked.

He thought Gu Qinghe would say yes, but she shook her head and said, "I can't help."

Yu Qinglian's personality is too soft, and with Aunt Yu at the Duke's Mansion, she has so many concerns that even if others help her, it will be of no use.

The only one who can help her is herself.

Gu Qinghe thought that Yu Qinglian was actually in a dead end right now. If she wanted to break the deadlock, it all depended on whether she could figure it out and whether she could make up her mind.

You're right. Even if she helped, if Yu Qinglian herself was indecisive, it would make her situation worse.

Women are naturally at a greater disadvantage than men in this regard. This world has placed too many constraints on women. When he was surrounded by jackals, he could have chosen to join the army or he could have chosen to stay away.

However, when this kind of thing happens to a woman, there are many more things that cannot be done. She may not want to leave the Duke's Mansion, but will she be safe if she leaves?

A young and beautiful woman making a living on her own may face more hardships than she would in the Duke's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Shao Wei couldn't help but glance at Gu Qinghe.

Fortunately, she had Uncle Fu by her side, otherwise, who knows what Liangtuo would have experienced on the way to the capital.

Gu Qinghe had no idea what Shao Wei had been thinking about during this time, so she changed the subject and asked, "How is Brother Niu now?"

"Very good. He and Li Kuo also met. Both of them were well settled by Huo Shibei and will not be in any danger."

In order to ensure their safety, Huo Shibei specially found two secret guards to disguise themselves as Niu Jun and Li Kuo as cover.

"It seems that the King of Wu wants to rush to his fiefdom ahead of time," Shao Wei said, "He must know that there are indeed survivors of the battle and that we have found them. Or maybe he feels threatened by your approaching Pingyang, so he wants to leave ahead of time."
