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

Only Aunt Yu could make her willingly endure all these hardships and stay in this cannibalistic Duke's Mansion.

If it weren't for Aunt Yu, she would have left long ago.

However, there was no point in what Gu Qinghe said. It was obvious that this young master was a proud person. No matter the teachings he received since childhood or the constraints of secular etiquette on him, he would not realize his feelings for Qinglian so quickly.

All I can say is that some things should be said only when they are said. Saying more will lead to mistakes. Gu Qinghe tactfully shut up.

Seeing her staring at the dog hole, as if she was still thinking about leaving from there, Shao Xingjian's eyebrows twitched briefly, and he said in a deep voice: "I'll have someone take you there."

The implication is - go through the main entrance.

Gu Qinghe didn’t really want to crawl through the dog hole.

Shao Xingjian walked her to the door, his brows gloomy, "Did you do anything to Lin Cong's body?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Qinghe looked at him in confusion, "I don't understand what you are talking about, young master."

Obviously, whether she admitted it or not, Shao Xingjian had already made up his mind.

He didn't care about Gu Qinghe's answer, and just said lightly: "I don't care what you want to do, but don't involve Shao Wei. After all, this concerns the reputation of the Duke's Mansion."

Gu Qinghe lowered her eyes and did not respond.

Whether Shao Wei would be involved was not something she could decide. Perhaps he was already in the game.

After being reborn in this life, Gu Qinghe often thought of Shao Wei's death in his previous life.

The recurrence of an old illness might be a lie to others, but it couldn't fool her.

The only possibility is that he chose to stand with Huo Shibei and find out the truth about General Huo Qiu's death, and they may have already known the truth and wanted to reveal it.

The person behind the scenes couldn't sit still anymore and made another move.

But Gu Qinghe still didn't think that he was someone who would die so easily. She asked Wei Yanzhou about it, but every time she ended up parting ways with Wei Yanzhou unhappily.

Shao Xingjian looked down at her, his eyes devoid of emotion.

He admitted that the woman in front of him was a little clever, but her cleverness was useless when used on harmless little things. It might not be enough when it came to the critical moment.

Watching Gu Qinghe walking away, Shao Xingjian planned to go back to find Yu Qinglian.

For some reason, when he saw her leading Gu Qinghe to appear, he felt a surge of anger in his heart.

The attendant told him that the doctor had advised Yu Qinglian that it would be best for her to ask Gu Qinghe for a rejuvenation pill. After learning this, Shao Xingjian went and bought all the rejuvenation pills.

To be honest, he himself has no idea what he is thinking.

Maybe he hoped she would come to him, or maybe he wanted to see her grateful eyes.

Shao Xingjian was torn between these two contradictions.

But the moment he saw Gu Qinghe, the fire in Shao Xingjian's heart burned uncontrollably.

Is he so ferocious in her eyes? Since she knew that the rejuvenation pill was in his hands, why didn't she come to find him?

He originally wanted to pull Yu Qinglian out and ask her directly, but he was stopped by his mother's men halfway.

"After searching for a while, I finally found him," the nanny beside the Duke's wife looked at Shao Xingjian with a smile, "Madam asked me to find the eldest master. She must have something to tell him."

The Duke's wife had been obsessed with copying scriptures these days. When Shao Xingjian came in, she put down her pen and looked at her son.

His eyes fell on the impatience between Shao Xingjian's eyebrows, and he asked, "Are you worried about anything in your official duties recently?"

"Nothing, is there something wrong with mother?"

"Sit down." The servant poured tea, and the Duke's wife took a sip slowly, sighing softly, "You are too straightforward. I don't understand official business, and I won't ask you too much. But there are some things that I have to say a few words to you."

The lady of the Duke's wife could not hide her pride as she looked at Shao Xingjian. Whether it was her son's intelligence, his way of dealing with people, or his impeccable appearance, few young men in the capital could compare to her son.

When the ladies get together on weekdays, there are often people who envy her for giving birth to such an outstanding son.

But now there is only one thing that makes the Duke's wife feel uneasy, and that is that her son doesn't even have a woman by his side.

Every time she mentioned arranging a marriage for her son, she would be brushed off.

After a while, the Duchess's wife began to feel uneasy.

The Prime Minister's Mansion is now planning to form a marriage alliance with Shao Wei. Normally, Mrs. Hu does not take Shao Wei seriously, but now she starts to act arrogantly. This makes the Duke's wife look down on her.

But it also made her more anxious.

Seeing that all the girls she once favored were engaged, but there was no movement from her son, how could she not be anxious?

So she advised: "Mother is not saying that you must get married now, but you are not young anymore. After a busy day of official duties, you don't even have a close friend to ask about your well-being. You don't think it's a big deal, but mother always feels distressed when she sees you."

She looked at Shao Xingjian's expression and saw no sign of impatience. She was delighted and continued, "Have you considered what I told you before? If you think it's okay, I'll pick two sensible girls and send them to your room. What man your age doesn't have a close friend around him?"

"No need," Shao Xingjian said, "Don't worry about your son's affairs. If there is nothing else, go to bed early."

"Stop, kid!"

The Duke's wife's face was stern. "You have to bring the person over to me today no matter what you say. Do you know what people are saying about you?"

She felt embarrassed to say those words about the love between men and women and the homosexuality.

But Shao Xingjian disagreed and said, "Let them be."

The Duke's wife was very angry and pressed her eyebrows, "Either take these two maids back, or I will arrange a marriage for you in a few days, you can choose."

"I'm busy," Shao Xingjian's expression also turned ugly. "If mother insists on having a concubine, then send the one from Aunt Yu's yard to your room. At least she'll be quiet and not so annoying."

After saying that, he turned and left.

The Duke's wife's expression changed again and again. She looked up and asked the nanny, "Does he like the girl in Aunt Yu's room?"

"How is that possible?" The nanny knew her mistress' temper and said quickly, "You know the eldest master's character. He is either deliberately being stubborn with you, or he really thinks that the girl is quiet and will not be annoying if she stays in the room."

After much thought, the Duke's wife felt that the latter was slightly more credible.

An Jing is indeed An Jing, and seems to be someone who is easy to control. It seems to be a good idea to think about it this way. When her son becomes sensible and plans to get married, she will send Yu Qinglian away and she won't even need to keep her as a concubine.
