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

She is the eldest daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is worthy of any young man in the whole capital.

But Li Qiulian only had eyes for Shao Wei, only this man caught her eye.

From childhood to adulthood, she would eventually get what she wanted. She only had to cry a little in front of her parents and they would put everything in front of her.

Li Qiulian also knew her own life experience, and she also knew that the Prime Minister and his wife had a biological daughter.

But that doesn't matter. With the abilities of the Prime Minister and his wife, if the child was still alive, he would have been found long ago.

There has been no news for so many years. There is only one possibility, that is, the child is dead.

This is the best way, no one will come out to threaten her position and rob her family.

……

As soon as Gu Qinghe walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he saw Shao Wei standing not far away.

But perhaps she had informed him in advance, and this person even made a special disguise, covering his face with a layer of stiff fake skin.

Gu Qinghe recognized it at the first sight.

She sighed and walked towards him. Just as she was about to ask him why he was here, her chin was clamped by someone and she turned to the side, revealing half of her face with fingerprints.

She dodged, but the fake skin couldn't cover up the anger on Shao Wei's face, and his eyes almost spit fire. He knew it must have been Li Qiulian who did it, and it was not difficult to guess why she did this.

Shao Wei was so angry that he felt as if the top of his head was on fire. He wished he could just break into the Prime Minister's residence and slap Li Qiulian hard.

He had a strong hand, and with one slap, Li Qiulian might be able to start over.

Fortunately, he was still clear-headed and knew that Gu Qinghe had his own plans.

But just because something cannot be done openly does not mean it cannot be done secretly.

Shao Wei pursed his lips, glanced sinisterly towards the Prime Minister's Mansion, and dragged Gu Qinghe back to the General's Mansion.

"You're deceiving yourself by changing your face, but now it's useless to drag me over here?" Gu Qinghe laughed, "I promised Miss Li to stay away from you."

Shao Wei froze, and his face, which was not often angry, finally couldn't hold back any more. "Really?"

He was so angry that he couldn't speak clearly. Gu Qinghe quickly said, "That's what they said, but I'm not a trustworthy person, so you can't take it seriously."

Little liar.

Shao Wei squinted at her, his gaze fell on her peach-like lips, and his Adam's apple rolled slightly.

He looked away hastily.

He dragged Gu Qinghe to the study, took out the bottle of ointment she left behind, and gently applied it on her cheeks, which were still a little red and swollen.

Shao Wei asked: "Can you tell me what you want to do?"

Perhaps because he was afraid that she would be unhappy, Shao Wei immediately added: "I just want to see if there is anything else I can do to help you. Of course, it doesn't matter if you really don't want to say it."

"You've helped me a lot."

Gu Qinghe curled the corners of his lips, "There's nothing I don't want to say, it's just that this matter can be done or not, it's just my personal bad taste, so there's no need to help."

She shrugged, "Have I ever told you about my background before?"

"Well," Shao Wei pondered, "Are you sure?"

Gu Qinghe didn't answer. Instead, he reached into his sleeve and took out a crystal clear jade pendant.

The jade pendant was lustrous and shiny, and it was obvious at a glance that it was of top quality.

Gu Qinghe handed the jade pendant to him and pointed to the word "Gu" in the middle of the jade pendant.

"This jade pendant is exactly the same as the one worn by the Prime Minister's wife."

If it was a coincidence that her age matched that of Prime Minister Li and his wife's lost daughter, then this jade pendant could not be a coincidence.

Gu Qinghe said, "In fact, if Li Qiulian hadn't come to provoke me, I would never do anything to her, let alone recognize her as my relative. My parents and brother are all very good to me. Apart from them, I won't call anyone else my parents, and I don't need to."

But Li Qiulian thought she was easy to bully and was looking for trouble, so Gu Qinghe had no choice but to make her even more unhappy.

There was stubbornness in Gu Qinghe's eyes.

Shao Wei was lost in thought for a long while before he burst into laughter. "You did a great job."

She is stubborn and never gives up, which may be seen as heresy in the eyes of others, but to Shao Wei, it is just self-protection.

Even the daughters of officials were bound by the laws of the world, let alone a weak woman like her who had no one to rely on.

"A few years ago, before I became a general, I had a soldier under my command who had just gotten married. He was from Weizhou. At that time, not only Lirang, but also the Xiongnu coveted the territory of our Rui Dynasty. Our military strength was not strong, and there were jackals all around us. In order to expand the military strength, the emperor ordered every household to send a man to join the army."

"He was captured and forced to join the army right after he got married. He always retreated during the march and battle. I beat him twice," Shao Wei paused for a moment before continuing, "There are civilians behind us. If all the soldiers retreat, what will happen to the unarmed elderly, weak, women and children?"

"The battle had been going on for several months and was finally about to be won. He was very happy. While drinking at night, he said that his wife was pregnant and would probably give birth soon. By then, the battle would be over and he might be able to catch up with his wife when she gave birth."

Shao Wei seemed to think of the scene at that time, his eyebrows softened a little, "I made an appointment with a few brothers around me to drink his child's full moon wine together."

The Huns were defeated one after another, and the soldiers were immersed in the joy of impending victory. As long as they fought one last battle and completely expelled the Huns from the country, the war would be over.

But the newly married soldier died on the eve of victory.

He was shot in the throat by an arrow, but he refused to die no matter what. He struggled to take out the envelope from his arms and handed it to Shao Wei. He made a hoarse sound in his throat and died with his eyes open.

After the war, Shao Wei took the letter to find his newly married wife and his newborn child.

The woman was skinny, but the child was very cute and fair, and it was obvious that he was well taken care of.

He wanted to give the mother and son a sum of money, enough for them to have food and clothing, but he never expected that when he was about to leave, the woman jumped into the well, leaving only the hungry baby.

Shao Wei looked at Gu Qinghe, "At first I didn't understand why she would abandon her young child and jump into the well, as the money I gave her was enough for her and her child to live comfortably for the rest of their lives."

"Later, when I saw those men and women gathered at the gate of her yard, pointing and talking, I suddenly realized that she might not be able to protect the money I left for her."

An orphan and a widow, helpless, young and beautiful, with a considerable amount of money, each of these factors was enough to take her life.

She paved the way for her children with her own life.

Shao Wei said, "The soldier who got married not long ago has the last name Luo."

Gu Qinghe was silent for a moment. She only knew that Luo Feng was not Shao Wei's child, but she didn't know the specific situation.
