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

She was still in a daze when suddenly a coat was put on her body.

Turning around, I saw Shao Wei's concerned eyes.

"I'm fine," she smiled, her eyes red from not sleeping all night, "I'll wait here for a while, mom will be very happy to see me when she wakes up."

Perhaps knowing her temper, Shao Wei did not try to persuade her, but only said, "Sister-in-law cooked some noodles, you can eat some first. We can't stay here for too long, there are still many things to do tomorrow."

Gu Qinghe glanced at the person who was still sleeping on the bed and nodded.

She really wasn't that hungry, but she also knew that if she acted pretentiously now, she would only hinder her tomorrow.

This was the happiest day for her since her rebirth.

The noodle soup was boiling hot, and Gu Qinghe sat at the table and ate slowly. Lao Liu was chatting with Shao Wei in the yard, and his wife was sitting in the house chatting with Gu Qinghe.

"It's a little late today, and there aren't many ingredients at home. I don't know if you can eat it."

"It smells delicious." After drinking the boiling hot noodle soup, Gu Qinghe seemed to have returned to reality from a fantasy world. The unreal feeling was finally dispelled. She smiled at Liu and continued to eat the noodles in the bowl with her head down.

Shao Wei knew Old Liu before he became a general.

Shao Wei was too young when he joined the army, and the brothers who lived with him in the army took more or less care of him, especially Lao Liu.

The two have always called each other brothers, but a few years ago in the war, Lao Liu was seriously injured. He was lucky enough to survive, but his legs were disabled. So after retiring from the barracks, he and his wife started a small business at home to make a living.

Both husband and wife are very simple.

After eating the noodles, Gu Qinghe returned to his room.

Lu Zhiyao hadn't woken up yet, so she called the little girl over.

Maybe because she was still young, the little girl had red eyes all the way and was very alert.

As soon as he entered the room, he looked directly in the direction where Lu Zhiyao was lying. After confirming that she was still alive, he breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at Gu Qinghe cautiously and asked, "Who are you?"

Gu Qinghe didn't know whether the person in front of her could be trusted, but if this person had been taking care of her mother since she disappeared, then this person really couldn't be touched for the time being.

But when he thought that this person might be King Wu's man, Gu Qinghe found it difficult to suppress his anger.

After staring at the man for a while, she asked, "How long have you been taking care of her? When did it start?"

The little girl said nothing, and stared at Gu Qinghe with a pair of eyes full of stubbornness, "You haven't answered me yet, who are you?"

Gu Qinghe took out the dagger that nearly killed the old lady again and played with it in his hand. "You are the one who is controlled by others. You should answer whatever is asked of you. Do you understand?"

After all, she was young, or maybe she felt that Gu Qinghe was not a bad person, so she was not as resistant when asked questions again.

"I am the servant who takes care of Madam. I have been staying with Madam for two months."

lady?

Gu Qinghe's eyes were slightly cold, "Who is the master who asked you to take care of her?"

"I don't know. I was bought in the slave market. The person who bought me was that old woman. She told me to take good care of the lady, but not to talk to her too much. I had to repeat everything the lady said to me every night."

"You were in that small courtyard two months ago?"

"Yes."

"Besides that old lady, who else is there in that courtyard?"

The little girl hesitated, glanced at Lu Zhiyao lying on the bed, then looked at the dagger in Gu Qinghe's hand, gritted her teeth and said, "The old lady said that the lady was a concubine kept by a nobleman. The nobleman she mentioned has been to the courtyard several times, but every time he went, the old lady would ask me to go out to buy groceries or do things. I never saw him."

Gu Qinghe took a deep breath and controlled his desire to rush to Lizhou and stab that beast King Wu into a sieve.

She closed her eyes and consoled herself that there was still a long time to go. Now that her mother was still alive, she had plenty of time to make those people pay the price they deserved.

He closed his eyes and continued to ask the little girl, "What's your name?"

"My father named me Zhaodi, but my wife said it was not nice, so she called me Xiaohe."

Her status in the family was very low, and the reason why she appeared in the slave market was even more regrettable.

Just because her younger brother was crying and making a fuss about wanting to eat meat, which gave her drunkard father a headache, he picked her up and sold her to the slave market, exchanging her for a few taels of silver to buy meat for his younger brother who did nothing but cry all day long.

Even though Xiao He knelt down and begged for mercy, crying bitterly, no one sympathized with her at all.

Lu Zhiyao was the first master she took care of, and the only person who had never been stingy in showing kindness to her in the past ten years.

Therefore, Xiao He regards Lu Zhiyao as very important.

She looked at Gu Qinghe, her eyes carefully tracing her facial features, as if looking for a place on her face that might overlap with Lu Zhiyao's.

But she couldn't see any.

It’s not because of the red spot.

Gu Qinghe was not Lu Zhiyao's biological daughter. She was more beautiful, with majestic features, but her beauty was obscured by the red spot. In addition, she had lost a lot of weight since the incident with the Chen family, and looked a little haggard.

Lu Zhiyao looks like a gentle Jiangnan woman. Of course, this is just her appearance. Only those who know her well will know her tough inner self which is completely opposite to her appearance.

Xiao He was naturally worried because she couldn't see any similarities between the two people, but when she thought about her lady's situation in recent days, she hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.

"If you are really the Madam's daughter, where are you going to take her when she wakes up?"

Gu Qinghe looked at her, shook his head and said nothing.

……

I stayed by the bed all night and fell asleep without knowing when out of exhaustion.

Gu Qinghe seemed to have had a pretty good dream, with a smile on his lips until he woke up.

She felt her cheek was a little itchy, so she raised her hand to scratch it, but instead caught a hand that was about to leave.

Gu Qinghe woke up suddenly, immediately realized what happened yesterday, and looked up hurriedly.

"woke up?"

Lu Zhiyao's eyes were gentle. Her hand was still held in Gu Qinghe's hand, so she could only smile bitterly and said, "You're holding me a little painfully."

"I'm sorry!" Gu Qinghe let go of her hand and stood up, looking at Lu Zhiyao carefully, "Are you feeling unwell?"

"No."

Gu Qinghe suddenly stopped, her expression became a little strange, and she asked Lu Zhiyao, "Do you know who I am?"

After staring at her for a long time, Lu Zhiyao felt a little embarrassed and said, "I don't remember. Where's Xiaohe?"

Even though she had made preparations in advance, Gu Qinghe still couldn't help feeling a little sad and disappointed. The sudden sadness almost forced her to cry.

Gu Qinghe swallowed with a dry throat and smiled, "It doesn't matter. If you don't remember, then don't remember. There's still a long time to go by, so there's plenty of time to remember."

She checked Lu Zhiyao's pulse again, and after making sure that she was fine, she stood up and said, "I'll go call Xiao He in."
