Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

The look on Mrs. Xu's face froze and she sighed deeply.

"Your father and I also arrived in Shuoyang yesterday."

Cheng Wan's heart completely calmed down.

Xu Zhinian's father is also alive, which is really great.

"On the third day after you and Zhishu left, the emperor's army reached Qingyuan County."

"And your dad,"

Mrs. Xu's hands clenched into fists unconsciously, with hatred in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Your father noticed that the situation was not good the day after you left. He originally wanted to quickly summon the county government officials and officials. Yamen, please inform the villagers in the city and the villages below to leave Qingyuan County immediately. But who knew that bastard named Song actually took advantage of your father not paying attention and attacked your father!"

"If Uncle Xu, the old butler at home, hadn't blocked the most fatal knife for your father, your father would have died long ago!"

Xu Zhinian's eyes were filled with tears of fear, and she grabbed Mrs. Xu's arm.

"Dad, dad, is he okay? How is he doing now?"

Xu Zhishu on the side was also tugging at Mrs. Xu's sleeve uneasily.

Mrs. Xu quickly patted the back of Xu Zhinian's hand and comforted her warmly: "Your father was slightly injured, but he is no longer in danger. Your uncle also invited the best doctor in Shuoyang City for him yesterday. Look, after drinking the medicine, you should be falling asleep at this time, so don’t be afraid."

After saying that, Mrs. Xu turned around and held Xu Zhishu in her arms again, soothing her son's emotions.

She only has one son and one daughter in her life, and both of them are her darlings.

Xu Zhinian breathed a sigh of relief, but his heart was still high.

"Song?"

Xu Zhinian frowned, "Is it Song County Cheng?"

Mrs. Xu gritted her teeth and nodded, "That's him. He clearly knows that the new emperor's army does not regard the people under King An's rule as human beings. He wants to bring the entire Qingyuan County to surrender to the new emperor!"

Cheng Wan thought of Miss Song whom she met at Linglong Pavilion when she and Xu Zhinian were shopping.

"Linglong Pavilion?"

Xu Zhinian immediately understood what Cheng Wan meant, and she nodded towards Cheng Wan.

"That Miss Song's father is Song County Cheng."

Cheng Wan frowned. She didn't have any ill feelings toward Miss Song, but Miss Song's father would not regret his death.

"Mom, please continue, where is Uncle Xu? Uncle Xu...how is it?"

"Uncle Xu, he died on the spot. He didn't even have time to leave a word."

Mrs. Xu closed her eyes sadly.

Xu Zhinian suddenly lost her energy. She slumped down and leaned next to Mrs. Xu, her eyes were dazed, and tears overflowed from her eyes.

That was Uncle Xu who watched her grow up.

Dad treated Uncle Xu as half a father.

She also regarded Uncle Xu as half a grandfather.

Xu Zhinian burst into tears and said: "How could this happen? Obviously... when I was sent away that day, Uncle Xu still smiled and coaxed me, asking me... to be obedient and say... .He also said that he would write to me in a while..."

"Dad, is dad... particularly sad?"

Mrs. Xu sighed and wiped Xu Zhinian's tears with the crumpled handkerchief.

Can you not be sad?

My father-in-law and mother-in-law died young, leaving only Uncle Xu to accompany my husband.

My husband didn't say anything, but in his heart he truly regarded Uncle Xu as a relative.

Now this relative died suddenly, and was killed to save himself.

When he died, he didn't even leave a word behind.

This kind of psychological grief will probably stay in my heart for a lifetime.

"It will all pass."

Mrs. Xu gently rubbed Xu Zhinian's head.

At this moment, Xu Zhishu, who was in Mrs. Xu's arms, suddenly raised his head and asked in a sweet voice, "Will I never see Uncle Xu again?"

"Woooooooo..."

Xu Zhinian lost control of her emotions completely, lying on Mrs. Xu's lap and crying loudly.

The sudden loud crying caused many people on the street to look at the carriage in the middle of the road.

It also made the people on the two carriages closer to this carriage feel worried.

what's wrong?

Inside the carriage at the front, which looks very comfortable just by looking at it.

Shaoqing tilted his head in confusion: "This crying sound...is it Miss Xu?"

"Didn't the person sent by Prince Mu to deliver the letter to the governor's house reply that Miss Xu's parents are still alive? Didn't Miss Xu's mother, Mrs. Xu, just get on the carriage behind? What's going on?"

Gu Yan was closing his eyes to rest. Hearing this, he opened his eyes and said calmly: "Just because your parents are alive, it doesn't mean that other relatives are also alive."

"However, even if only my parents are alive, I am lucky and blessed enough."

Shaoqing pursed his lips, his heart aching because of Gu Yan's words.

Yes.

If your parents are alive, you are lucky and blessed enough.

Cheng Wan and Xu Zhinian were in the carriage behind the carriage.

Mrs. Lin was sitting in the front room. When she heard the crying in front of her, she immediately leaned forward nervously.

"Hey, what's going on? I've never heard Miss Xu cry like this before. Is it something serious?"

Cheng Erniu, who was driving the carriage next to him, frowned and said, "Who knows? Should we go and ask?"

Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Why are you asking? Didn't you just see a lady being helped by Chun Wen into the carriage? I could hear Miss Xu calling her mother."

"My mother is here, so why is it our turn to come forward and talk too much now? Besides, Awan is also here."

Old Mrs. Lin frowned, "Go back and tell everyone at home, but don't be so cold-hearted as to ask Miss Xu what happened. The girl is thin-skinned, so let's just pretend we didn't hear."

"I understand, mother."

At this time, Xu Zhinian was crying in the carriage carriage, while Chunwen was crying in the front room outside the carriage carriage.

Chunwen bit his lower lip tightly, and a suppressed cry came out of his throat.

She thought that she, the young lady, and the young master had been miserable enough on the road. If they hadn't met Miss Cheng, she didn't know what would have happened.

But she didn't expect that so many things happened at home after they left home.

In the carriage, Cheng Wan looked at Xu Zhinian with distressed eyes.

But looking at Xu Zhinian who was so sad, Cheng Wan not only felt distressed, but also had a "cold-blooded" thought: "Fortunately, it was not County Magistrate Xu and Mrs. Xu who died."

When Uncle Xu passed away, Xu Zhinian was already so sad.

It was hard for Cheng Wan to imagine how Xu Zhinian would collapse when she found out that something had happened to her parents if there was no unexpected turn of events today.

Mrs. Xu patted Xu Zhinian's back, which was twitching from crying, and sniffed.

"Uncle Xu will be watching us from the sky."

Xu Zhinian's crying gradually became quieter. She raised her head, her eyes and nose were red.

"Mom, how did you and dad get to Shuoyang smoothly?"

Cheng Wan also looked at Mrs. Xu.

After such a dangerous situation, Cheng Wan was able to escape safely from Qingyuan County and arrive at Shuoyang City. Cheng Wan guessed that it was probably because of the help of noble people.
