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

After an unknown amount of coaxing, he finally broke free from the siege of these people, straightened his clothes which were a little messy from being pulled, cleared his throat, and called Su Ji over.

The accusing gazes from the few people behind them suddenly cut into the two of them like knives.

Ouyang Xia turned a blind eye.

She led Su Ji to the side and sighed softly.

Su Ji was a very gentle person, and was the first one to follow her back to the City Lord's Mansion.

Speaking of the encounter between the two, it was not that beautiful. Ouyang Xia was a pleasure-seeking person. Perhaps it was because she always felt that she did not belong here, so she lived very freely.

She had spent a huge sum of money to redeem Su Ji at Qingfeng Pavilion, certainly not to do good deeds. She gave Su Ji a choice: to stay with her or to leave after accompanying her for a while.

But this man was unwilling to leave after staying with her for a while, which had nothing to do with her.

Even if Su Ji wanted to leave now, she would never stop him.

Lan Yu didn’t know where to go next. Half a year was neither long nor short. Ouyang Xia didn’t want these people to stay here waiting for her. After all, whether she could come back was still a big question.

What those people with royal connections say is often the least credible.

Who knows whether the Prince of Yun will keep his promise and go with her half a year later.

"You are the first one to follow me to the City Lord's Mansion. I am sorry that I would entrust this kind of task to you, but I really can't think of anyone else except you."

Ouyang Xia smiled and patted Su Ji on the shoulder, finding his serious expression very funny.

"Don't apologize, it's my honor." Su Ji said.

"Do you know what I asked you to do?"

"Anything is fine."

After a moment of silence, Ouyang Xia said, "I probably won't be back in the next six months. It will definitely not work if I go and ask them. You should think of a way to get them to leave the City Lord's Mansion. Give some silver to everyone who plans to leave."

Su Ji raised his eyebrows slightly, "What about those who don't want to leave?"

This problem really gave Ouyang Xia a headache. It was easy for her to make these people happy, but she really had no way to deal with this kind of thing.

So he waved his hand and said, "I'll leave it to you. Of course, you'll figure out a solution, but it would be best if we could all leave here."

Her expression became a little serious. "In the past, I had my parents to protect me in Huicheng, so I could do whatever I wanted. But now is different. If I need my parents to bear the cost for what I do, it would be a bit despicable."

This time, Lan Yu's incident must have attracted the attention of people in the capital to Huicheng. Such a long time has passed, and although Ouyang Xia is not sure whether he has got the answer he wanted, he now feels that it is meaningless.

She could only try her best to clean up the mess she had made in the past and not bring any trouble to her parents.

"I can only feel at ease if I leave this matter to you," she remembered something and hurriedly reminded him, "And Qin Che, you should also help me keep an eye on him. Don't let my parents believe his lies. He is not a good person."

Su Ji's eyes flickered, "Okay."

……

Princess Wu has already left and is preparing to return to the capital.

Gu Qinghe didn't know how the nanny convinced Princess Wu, but this happened a little faster than she expected, which was good news for her.

King Wu's men would definitely follow them. Gu Qinghe had to either follow them openly and swaggeringly, or hide in the dark quietly so as not to be discovered by King Wu.

Between the two, Gu Qinghe chose the former.

But she couldn't catch up so quickly. After all, she hadn't left the King of Wu's territory yet. If a fight really broke out, it wouldn't matter who won or lost. What mattered was that the Princess of Wu's body really couldn't stand it.

So she planned to set off three days later, leading a small team of people assigned to her by Shao Wei and directly following the Princess of Wu.

By then, when we have left the King of Wu's territory, even if the King of Wu understands what is happening, he will never dare to act rashly.

There were still many things waiting for Lan Zhou to deal with in Yun State, so it was naturally inconvenient for him to stay here for too long. He also returned to Yun State the day before Gu Qinghe returned to the capital.

After seeing his royal brother off, Lan Yu was a little depressed for a while, but then he became excited again.

When he saw Gu Qinghe packing her bags, he happily ran up to her and asked her where she was going.

Gu Qinghe put away the dried herbs and looked back at his bright eyes, a little amused, "Go back to the capital, are you going?"

"Is it fun?"

"Not bad, it should be similar to the capital of your Yun State."

"Is it very prosperous? Is there a lake?"

Gu Qinghe nodded, "It's quite prosperous, with a Wenxin Lake."

After a few words, Lan Yu immediately decided on his next itinerary. He went to find Ouyang Xia and said, "I want to go to the capital too!"

Ouyang Xia's face fell, "Why are you going to the capital?"

"The capital is prosperous, and there is a lake. Ah Ning said there is a lake next to her home, and her hometown is also very prosperous."

Ouyang Xia just felt a headache, "Are you sure that the lake next to her house is not a river?"

She had originally thought that during the next six months, she would take Lan Yu to travel around the mountains and rivers as instructed by the Prince of Yun State, and go to any remote place. Once the six months were up, her mission would be completed.

There was no way she could take him to the capital. If something happened, it would be okay for her to lose her head, but she didn't want her parents to lose their heads as well.

But she didn't know if Lan Yu had gotten smarter in the past few days. She hadn't figured out how to coax him not to go to the capital, but Lan Yu saw her hesitation first, and his handsome face immediately tensed up, "I'll go by myself."

Ouyang Xia: “…”

Go by himself? She dared to let this ancestor go by himself.

So Ouyang Xia advised earnestly, "In fact, Ruichao has lakes not only in the capital, but also in many prosperous places..."

"Let's go to the capital!" Lan Yu's face is still very intimidating when he becomes serious.

In order to prevent him from sneaking away to the capital using the method he used in Yun State, Ouyang Xia had no choice but to accept his fate and said, "Go to the capital, go to the capital."

The next day, Gu Qinghe woke up very early and wanted to see his mother.

Naturally, she didn't plan to bring her mother with her on this trip back to the capital. It was safer for her to stay here. With Shao Wei around, Gu Qinghe felt relieved.

Besides this, there are many other reasons why she doesn't want her mother to go back to the capital with her. This time, what she will face will be much more difficult than before. She doesn't feel it's hard when she is alone, but once her mother is around, she will inevitably feel weak and wronged.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Shao Wei standing under the crabapple tree.

He stood there with his hands behind his back and his head slightly tilted upwards, not sure if he was looking at the stars in the sky or thinking about his own things.

Gu Qinghe's heart softened, and he walked towards him, "Can't bear to see me go?"
