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

She came out today just to come to the embroidery workshop. Ever since she agreed to let the Duke's wife be Shao Xingjian's concubine, the Duke's wife saw that her complexion had improved a lot in the past two days.

Of course, perhaps part of the reason was that Shao Xingjian had not had much contact with her in the past two days.

If something really happened between Shao Xingjian and her in the past two days, perhaps the Duke's wife would not be so happy.

Although she needed to make Shao Xingjian wise up, she didn't want him to be obsessed with a woman, especially when this woman was Yu Qinglian, who was not liked by others.

Upon learning that her son had been very indifferent to Yu Qinglian in the past two days, the Duke's wife called her over to comfort her. Yu Qinglian never took those harmless words to heart.

She had a face without any scheming, and the Duke's wife was not worried at all that she would have any influence on her son. She was just waiting for Shao Xingjian to come to her senses, and then she would find a very good marriage for him, and then send Yu Qinglian and Aunt Yu away.

Yu Qinglian didn't know when she and her aunt would be kicked out of the Duke's Mansion. She didn't have much money, so she had to make some preparations in advance to avoid leaving the Duke's Mansion and suffering with her aunt in the future.

Yu Qinglian was a quiet person. She was usually worried about meeting Shao Jingshu and her sister, so she rarely left Aunt Yu's yard and stayed in her room quietly doing needlework.

She is very good at embroidery and has embroidered quite a few handkerchiefs in recent days. She wants to bring them to the embroidery workshop to see if she can sell them for some money.

Ouyang Xia wanted to go to the embroidery workshop with her, but Lan Yu wanted to go to the west of the city today to try the rice dumplings made with fermented rice that Grandma Wang mentioned. She looked so impatient that if she didn't hurry up, she would run away. So she waved at Yu Qinglian and said casually, "Would you like some rice dumplings made with fermented rice? I'll bring you some when I come back."

Yu Qinglian seemed to be stunned for a moment, with a look of surprise on her face, and then she shook her head a little awkwardly, "Thank you, I won't eat anymore. I will go back as soon as I finish selling the handkerchiefs. You guys go ahead."

Okay, Ouyang Xia led Lan Yu away.

Yu Qinglian stood there and watched for a while, until the two figures disappeared, then she gently suppressed the smile on her lips and walked into the embroidery workshop.

Shao Xingjian took in everything that was happening below. The tea in the cup had already gone cold. The person he was waiting for had not arrived yet, but Yu Qinglian had already walked in, but he still hadn't taken his eyes off him.

In fact, what Ouyang Xia said was right. If she hadn't stood with Ouyang Xia and made him take a closer look, and if he hadn't seen the mole in the middle of Yu Qinglian's collarbone, he might not have recognized her.

Her skin was very fair, and she looked dazzling even when she wore plain clothes on ordinary days, and even more so in this bright red dress.

Under the fox mask and above the red clothes, just the exposed neck is enough to attract people's attention.

For some reason, Shao Xingjian suddenly felt some unhappy emotions. This emotion came inexplicably, and he didn't even have time to think about it, so he hurriedly suppressed it.

However, the whole person was still like a possessed person, and the scene of her like a transformed fairy in his room that day kept appearing in front of his eyes.

His Adam's apple slid unconsciously, his body tensed, and Shao Xingjian drank the cold tea in the cup in one gulp. The coolness immediately spread from his mouth.

The burning feeling dissipated a little.

The door of the box was pushed open, and the person who had been waiting for a long time finally arrived. Shao Xingjian stood up and said, "Your Highness."

The prince looked slightly better than before, but he was still wrapped in a thick cloak.

The fire in the room was burning brightly. The attendant took off the Crown Prince's cloak and tactfully left the box.

Under the cloak was a thin body. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a compassionate face, except that his lips were a little too pale from years of taking medicine.

After changing the tea, Shao Xingjian got down to business. "It looks like the King of Wu is in great danger this time. What is your highness going to do next?"

Speaking of which, the reason why Gu Qinghe's plan to pull King Wu off the throne was so smooth was due in no small part to the handiwork of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The prince took a sip of tea, and his somewhat cold brows narrowed slightly, "I think this case will be interrogated by the emperor himself. Before that, you must protect Madam Lin's safety."

Shao Xingjian agreed, and the two chatted for a while about the next plan. Before Lin Cong's accident, the emperor had originally planned to marry the daughter of the Lin family to the fourth prince, but now with this incident, the marriage must be cancelled.

The Crown Prince looked indifferent, "Father wants Fourth Prince to make friends with the Qi family. The Qi family has some complaints about the King of Wu because of the Princess Wu incident. I went to the palace yesterday to ask Father to allow the Princess Wu to divorce the King of Wu. The fact that the divorce agreement was presented to Father shows the intentions of the Qi family."

The emperor had secretly sent someone to bring King Wu back to the capital.

The fate of the King of Wu was already decided, so the Crown Prince no longer wanted to waste his energy on him. He just pressed his forehead and asked, "I heard that Doctor Gu from a few days ago was Shao Wei's sweetheart?"

Compared to the affairs of King Wu, it was obvious that he was more interested in the affairs of these two people. "How could a wooden stake like Shao Wei be enlightened?"

As he said this, he glanced at Shao Xingjian again. It seemed that the two brothers were exactly the same as wooden stakes. Since Shao Wei could come to his senses, perhaps this one would not be far behind.

Shao Xingjian said: "Doctor Gu is a smart man, it's not surprising that he would be tempted."

He remembered that when Shao Wei was a child and still in the Duke's Mansion, he was a stubborn person with a clear distinction between love and hate. He had a grudge against the second branch and didn't even call his parents. As a result, he was punished by his second uncle many times for not observing the rules of hierarchy and not knowing the rules.

But even when his baguette was about to break, he still held his neck stiff and closed his eyes, and no one could see him.

The old lady had some kindness towards him, Shao Xingjian saw it clearly, and Shao Wei saw it even more clearly. Even though there was something unclear mixed in that kindness, he pretended not to see it.

There are not many people in the Duke's Mansion who are nice to him. Although he appears to be cold, his heart needs kindness more than anyone else.

Back then, Shao Xingjian only gave him a warm coat in the winter, and when he decided to escape from the Duke's Mansion and run to the military camp, he casually threw him a purse, but this was enough for him to remember it for so many years.

Even now, no one in the Duke's Mansion knows that Shao Wei's military pay in the army has been sent to him every year over the years.

He also relied on the increasingly high military pay to watch his growth in the barracks step by step.

This pitiful bit of kindness was enough for Shao Wei to remember. It was not surprising that Gu Qinghe's unrestrained and straightforward emotions naturally moved him.

Come to think of it, he felt that these two were quite a good match.

Thinking of this, Shao Xingjian was in a pretty good mood.

After all, he has been receiving military pay from Shao Wei for so many years, so it is normal for him to hope that he can live a better life.
