Zheng Huiyi was extremely anxious: "How could my brother be so absurd! Sister-in-law, you can't leave, even if my brother comes back, you can't leave. You are the mistress of our Zheng family, married in a formal ceremony and carried into the house in a sedan chair. Your fate is closely linked to the Zheng family, and you have nowhere to go."

Zheng Huaiyu nodded repeatedly and agreed, "Aunt is right, mother, you can't leave. Father must have been out of his mind to make such a promise. When he comes back and spends time with you, he will regret it."

Princess Duan was filled with indignation and slammed the table and stood up: "Zheng Dinglian, this bastard! What nonsense is he talking about! After a woman gets married, unless she has committed a serious fault, she should enjoy lifelong dignity! How dare he cross the river and burn the bridge, so ungrateful! When he comes back, I will make him pay!"

Zheng Fenghui was filled with anger: "How can father be so heartless! This is not the behavior of a real man!"

Only Zheng Fengyun leaned quietly beside Gu Qinlan without saying a word.

He heard it clearly and thought it through clearly. It was not that his father was incompetent, but that his mother had never intended to stay in the Zheng family for a long time.

Before she stepped into the Zheng family, she had already planned a future retreat for herself.

In this world, every woman longs to have a good marriage, to be loved by her husband and respected by her husband's family. Although her parents have never spent time together, at this moment, the entire Zheng family firmly stands on her mother's side. According to common sense, her mother is already an extremely outstanding female host in the harem, a role model that all women dream of.

However, my mother is not an ordinary woman.

During the brief time she lived in her mother's yard, he knew that their mother was an extraordinary woman with great ambitions and broad vision.

The constraints of the harem will only limit her talent.

She was obviously not suitable to waste her life in the backyard.

The vast world outside is the stage for her to display her talents.

He was full of curiosity about his mother's future. If her wish came true, what glorious heights would she reach?

However, he did not say much.

After all, he is still a child, who would take his words seriously?

Gu Qinlan looked at those people who were anxiously trying to keep her, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: Perhaps, staying in the Zheng family is also a good choice.

That night, none of the masters of the Zheng family could sleep well except Zheng Fengyun.

The next day, they gathered in Princess Duan's courtyard with heavy dark circles under their eyes.

Zheng Huiyi yawned and suggested, "We must come up with a strategy to make my sister-in-law give up the idea of ​​leaving."

Zheng Huaiyu shook his dizzy head and smiled bitterly, "But I really can't think of anything in our home that would be worth my sister-in-law's nostalgia."

Princess Duan's eyes were red and swollen, and she said in a hoarse voice: "I will write a letter to that rebellious son immediately, ordering him to end the war as soon as possible and come back immediately! If he doesn't come back, his wife will run away!"

She stayed awake all night last night because of worry, and tears streamed down her face every time she thought about it.

She had lived in this world for decades and finally enjoyed half a year of peace. She thought she would only enjoy the rest of her life, but who knew her son would do such a ridiculous thing!

This made her angrier the more she thought about it.

Has her life's journey been easy?

When she was a girl, she was ignored at home. After she got married, she was looked down upon by her mother-in-law. After she became a mother-in-law, her daughter-in-law thought she was incompetent and even the servants at home deceived her. Now, she finally married a virtuous daughter-in-law, but she might leave her at any time.

Just by imagining this scene, she felt that her fate was extremely miserable.

Zheng Fenghui couldn't help but sighed, "Grandma, your request is really too harsh. The situation in the war is not something that my father can control alone. Please don't write to my father casually, so as not to disturb his mood."

As a descendant of a famous general, he deeply understands how crucial a person's mentality is on the battlefield.

If the mentality of an army commander is shaken, the morale of the entire army will be affected.

Therefore, he thought that writing letters was extremely stupid.

However, the three women of the Zheng family yelled at him in unison: "Shut up!"

How could they not understand this? But the current crisis was so urgent that they had no time to care about anything else.

Zheng Fenghui shrank his neck, still wanting to remind them in his heart, but he saw Zheng Fengyun gently pulling his sleeve, signaling him not to say anything more.

Zheng Fenghui was extremely anxious: "We can't let them do this."

Zheng Fengyun replied calmly, "Don't worry, the city gates have been blocked for a month, and the letters can't be sent out at all."

The city gates have been tightly shut since the refugees surrounded the city.

A few days ago, Gu Dingli's funeral could only be temporarily arranged on a small hill in the city.

Not only Gu Dingli, but all the people who died in the city during this period were handled in the same way. The coffins were temporarily placed on the hill, and after the refugee problem was resolved, the bodies were moved outside the city for burial.

This was a compulsory measure taken by the government to prevent refugees from forcing their way into the city by taking advantage of the funeral procession leaving the city.

Although some families find such an arrangement difficult to accept, what else can they do?

Zheng Fenghui finally breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

The three women of the Zheng family looked like eggplants hit by frost, wilted and their faces looked pale and depressed.

"Is there really nothing we can do? Can we just watch her go away helplessly?"

When Princess Duan thought of this possibility, she couldn't help but wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes again.

As she started crying, Zheng Huiyi and Zheng Huaiyu also started sobbing.

Zheng Fengyun sighed helplessly: "Grandma, little aunt, big sister, please stop crying. Mother said that she might decide to leave only after father comes back."

It's not like I'm leaving right away.

Zheng Huiyi's eyes sparkled with tears, and immediately brightened up: "Yes! Sister-in-law said to wait until big brother comes back! Then we just need to ask big brother not to come back!"

She was proud of her intelligence and cleverness for coming up with such a brilliant plan so quickly.

The emperor ordered him to return, and if he refused, he would face severe punishment for treason.

Zheng Fengyun couldn't stand it any more. He didn't care that his premature display of wisdom would cause surprise to others. He said directly: "It's not that difficult to keep my mother. All I have to do is treat her with sincerity."

He knew very well that his mother was of the same kind as he was, and that deep in their hearts they both longed for love.

When he was only a year old, his father died heroically on the battlefield, and his mother also died for love. During those long three years, he struggled alone to survive under the abuse of evil servants. He desperately wanted someone to really care about him, but he knew that such hope was slim, so he learned how to protect himself since he was a child.

In this new mother, he saw a lonely figure similar to himself.
