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

A princess in marriage?

Gu Qinghe frowned. She had heard that when she went to Ming Mansion today, Ming Xuan chattered with her about gossip for a long time and asked her to guess who the princess was most likely to marry.

In her previous life, the princess was married to the fourth prince, and I don’t think there will be any changes in this life.

But Mingxuan shook her finger at her and said, "I heard that His Majesty has promised the King of Liyang that this princess can choose her own marriage partner from among the young talents of our Rui Dynasty."

Gu Qinghe still didn't think there was anything wrong. It should have been like this in her previous life. After choosing and choosing, the princess would eventually choose the Fourth Prince.

After all, the people of Lirang are not stupid.

Therefore, Gu Qinghe did not take Mingxuan's words to heart. Now seeing Gao Cun's appearance, he had a vague bad premonition.

Her eyes suddenly widened, "Could it be that the princess of Lirang chose your general as her husband?"

Gao Cun raised his hand and scratched his head, his expression very unnatural, "She can choose, but it is obvious that this is absolutely impossible. Not to mention that the general will not agree, even His Majesty will probably not agree."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see Shao Wei's abilities. He is the youngest general in the court. He dealt a heavy blow to Lirang and made other countries afraid of him. He is so young and will have many opportunities to show his talents in the future.

Letting Shao Wei marry the princess of Lirang is equivalent to directly removing Shao Wei from the pool of available talents.

How dare the court still employ him?

After realizing this, Gu Qinghe breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt inexplicably unhappy in his heart.

Did she not know about this in her previous life, or did it really not happen?

The people of Lirang are really scheming. Even if Shao Wei doesn't take the words of Lirang's envoy seriously, His Majesty and the Fourth Prince will probably feel unhappy.

……

Ming Xuan looked at the distracted person in front of her for a long while. Seeing that the water in the teapot in her hand had spilled out of the cup, she finally couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Could it be that your three souls and seven spirits have been stolen by someone?"

"Ah?" Gu Qinghe looked up, "What did you say?"

Mingxuan pointed towards the table. Gu Qinghe lowered his eyes and saw the water spilled on the table. He cried out "Ah" and wiped it quickly with a handkerchief.

"I noticed when you came today that you looked distracted. What's wrong? Didn't you say you were going to Chizhou? Why are you suddenly not going?"

As she spoke, she clapped her hands fiercely, "Could it be that I guessed it right? The husband that the princess chose for herself is him?"

Seeing that Gu Qinghe's face was getting more gloomy, Mingxuan laughed, "You don't have to worry too much. This Lirang is probably here to annoy people. This marriage will definitely not be successful."

Gu Qinghe knew it wouldn't work, but he couldn't get over the unhappiness in his heart.

Forget it. She pulled her thoughts back and drove Shao Wei out of her mind. "I know that I am upset because my trip to Chizhou has been postponed, not because of him."

Mingxuan had previously asked her why she wanted to follow Shao Wei to Chizhou. Gu Qinghe's answer was that Luo Feng was reluctant to let her go. Plus, there was a good friend in Chizhou who had a good relationship with her master. They hadn't seen each other for many years, so it was a good opportunity for her to go and visit him.

Mingxuan didn't mind knowing that these might not be true, she was a smart person.

From the day she met Gu Qinghe, she could see that this little girl seemed to be burdened by a mountain. The days of getting along with her made her realize that Gu Qinghe was different.

She seemed to be carrying some kind of responsibility, and even her smile needed careful consideration. It was hard to tell how much of it was real and how much was fake.

Mingxuan, a teenage girl, remembers that when she was her age, she was still a mentally retarded person whose mind was always thinking about love and was overwhelmed by the sweetness of love.

Mingxuan absolutely did not dare to give suggestions to Gu Qinghe. Although she was older than Gu Qinghe, she might not be better than her in judging people.

Gu Qinghe stayed here until the afternoon and planned to go to Shao Wei to ask him what was going on. After all, Shao Wei had helped him a lot, so he might as well take it as a sign of concern for him.

When she was about to leave the Ming Mansion, the servant beside Ming Xuan ran over hurriedly, "Miss, Miss."

Mingxuan frowned, "Why are you so reckless? Be careful not to bump into anyone."

"The cousin from the Su family went out today."

Gu Qinghe turned around and asked, "What did you do?"

It was nothing strange for Lin Wan'er to go out, but the servant was in such a hurry, he must have discovered something.

The servant said, "Didn't the young lady ask us to keep an eye on the Su Mansion a few days ago? We have been keeping watch for a few days. Today, when the young lady left the house, our people followed her without her noticing. We followed her all the way and found that the young lady led a maid to the ruined temple in the north of the city."

"A ruined temple?"

Speaking of this dilapidated temple, Gu Qinghe really had some impression of it. In her previous life, she came to the capital from Liangtuo. She had to sleep in the open air and was frightened all the way. After finally arriving in the capital, she encountered a rainstorm, so she took shelter from the rain in that dilapidated temple for a night.

That night, the wind was howling outside the dilapidated temple, and the crackling sound of rain was frightening. She curled up inside behind the clay statue of the Bodhisattva. The man's voice outside the temple tried to comfort her along with the sound of rain, but the sound of rain was too loud and she could not hear it clearly.

She only remembered that the man told her not to be afraid, that he was passing by here while hunting and wanted to hide from the rain, that he would be guarding outside and would not go in.

The next day, the rain stopped and the sky cleared up. Gu Qinghe carefully pushed open the door of the dilapidated temple and saw Wei Yanzhou's smiling face.

This was also the reason why she fell headfirst into Wei Yanzhou's arms and couldn't get out in her previous life.

"The cousin made an appointment with someone to meet at the dilapidated temple. He was a big and strong man. After the master and servant left, our people subdued the man and asked him what the cousin had asked him to do."

It turned out that the person Lin Wan'er had an appointment with was the second in command of the mountain stronghold on the hill north of the city, and she asked them to cooperate with her in a play tomorrow.

That is the plot of Lin Wan'er being abducted by bandits in her previous life, and Su Shixuan taking pity on her and taking her as his concubine.

Gu Qinghe asked, "Will Su Shixuan be back tomorrow?"

"It should be. Otherwise, who is Lin Wan'er performing this play for?"

The two looked at each other, and Mingxuan said with a smile: "It just so happens that you haven't been to Chizhou yet, so let's watch a good show first."

……

The next day, a carriage slowly passed by on Shuncheng Avenue.

Sitting in the carriage were the wife of the Su family and her cousin Lin Wan'er.

Su's mother was very satisfied with her niece.

She is gentle, virtuous, considerate and has a pretty and lovely appearance.

She had planned to have Lin Wan'er marry into her family long ago and had mentioned it many times in front of her son, but her son was a dullard who never understood.

After finally coming to his senses, he fell in love with the eldest daughter of the He family.

If it were someone else, Su's mother would definitely not be willing, but the He family is from the Ministry of Rites. After thinking it over, Su's mother could only temporarily appease her niece. In the future, when her son becomes successful, there will definitely be a place for her in the Su Mansion.
