I'm watching the gate in the jail

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

In the short time that Steward Wang went out to find a doctor, the news of the disappearance of the two girls of the Wang family immediately spread vigorously in Xunzhou City, setting off the latest wave of gossip in the city.

As one of the half of the parties involved, shopkeeper Wan of "Si Jin Restaurant" and others, after they left the Wang family, they couldn't help being pointed at along the way.

"What a nice young man, why do the two young ladies of the Wang family prefer to run away from home and look down upon him?"

"There won't be any hidden illnesses?"

"Did you escape to Guangxi after committing a crime? You must have a case on your back."

Wanda couldn't understand the local dialect, so he walked all the way indifferently.Also because the account book has been successfully obtained, I feel refreshed, and my feet are also full of vigor.

On the contrary, Yang Xiuxian and Mei Qianzhang, who could understand the local dialect, were very embarrassed when they heard the group of three aunts, six wives and neighbors making arrangements.

But there are benefits too.

It should be a long period of time in the future, no matchmaker will come to the door, let's help them keep the media.

The group returned to the hotel, and before entering the door, they saw Qiu Zijin leaning against the door, looking at them anxiously.

"The shopkeeper. There's news from the capital."

Finally looking forward to them coming back, Qiu Zijin took Wanda's hand and pulled him into the store.He closed the door and said nervously.

Just now, two traveling monks came to the store, begging for vegetarian food here.

Although Guangxi is a place where Han officials live together, there are many people who believe in Buddhism and worship religion, and there are many temples inside and outside the city.These monks often walk around in and out of the city, praying for alms.

When Gao Hui went to the kitchen to serve them a meal, one of the old monks leaned over to Qiu Zijin and told him the news that Eunuch Qin was coming.

It turned out that these two people were not monks, but Dongchang fans in disguise.

Later, the two took bowls filled with vegetables and rice, saluted Qiu Zijin, and turned to leave.

In addition to telling them the news about Eunuch Tan, the two also brought a piece of information.

The two girls of the Wang family have already been stopped by them on the outskirts of the city.As for how to deal with it, I have to ask Wan Zhenfu what he meant.

As the internal secrets of Jinyiwei and Dongchang were involved, there was no way for Mei Qianzhang to sit in this time. Wanda sent Gao Hui and him to Wang's mansion to say hello to Wang Zhi and see if the little guy was okay.

Hearing that she was going to Wang's house again, Mei Qianzhang had a complicated expression, but she didn't refuse.After tidying up, I went with Gao Hui.

"Your Majesty would actually send Eunuch Tan out of the palace. Could it be that the military situation has changed?"

Wanda lay on the table and asked worriedly.

"It is not ruled out that the strategy of using troops has been adjusted... We may not have much time to stay in Xunzhou."

Among them, Yang Xiuxian is the most experienced.

For an eunuch of Qin Chang's status to leave the palace, there will inevitably be big moves within the court.

"Fortunately, we are lucky and have already mastered the most important part of the information."

Wanda took out the ledgers from her pocket and put them on the table one by one.

"If there is nothing wrong with this ledger, Xunzhou will have a big problem."

Putting the questions of the two Miss Wang aside, everyone glanced at the five or six ledgers with heavy expressions.

Wang Yuanwai's business is indeed not particularly "clean".

It should be said to be very "unclean".

Master Wang said that there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land outside his city, which should not only include paddy fields and rice fields, but also a large part of mountainous land.

The mountains outside the city have been the homeland of Liao people for generations.

You must know that the original purpose of the "opening the law" implemented in the third year of Hongwu was because of the suffering of the frontier army and the lack of food and salt.In order to encourage salt merchants to transport grain to the border, supplement local grain and grass, in exchange for a good method of salt introduction.

As the saying goes: The law of Zhongyan, the army guards the border, the people pay, and the salt lives in it, which is the hub, so it is called Kaizhong. ("Ming History")

Although not long after this decree was implemented, it began to be a little out of character, from transporting grain to growing grain next to the garrison.

But at any rate, because of this, a large area of ​​wasteland in the frontier was reclaimed, and people's livelihood problems were solved.

Especially the Hetao area, Liaodong and Liaobei, and even the vast area near Mobei.

Originally, due to successive years of wars, the people fled everywhere, the fertile land was barren and the population was sparse.Some are simply uncultivated wastelands since ancient times.

Reclamation of these places is completely in line with what Confucius said, "Benefiting the people for the benefit of the people, benefiting without cost."

Although there is a tradition of garrisoning troops to guard the border and farming the land in the Ming Dynasty, the military's capabilities are limited after all.

At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, several important border towns had no way to restore farming and commercial circulation, which was not conducive to border development and population growth.

With these salt merchants working in the local area, recruiting farmers to cultivate, and continuously bringing all kinds of tea and cloth products from the inland to the border, the local development was soon promoted.

Over the past few years, at least in the few guards in the north, the commercial villages have been doing quite well.

If there is a problem, the problem is obvious.

On the north side, what happened most was the so-called "occupation of nests"-that is, the royal family, lords, and eunuchs used their power to bribe the Ministry of Households and grant them the salt that should have been distributed to merchants.Then they will resell it to salt merchants to make a fortune first.

In this way, businessmen are bound to exploit the local area.They even engaged in smuggling salt and border smuggling at the same time, in order to make up for the losses as much as possible.

However, there is a lot of vacant land in the north. Although the implementation of the "opening the law" there is a bit wrong, at least it did not grab the land with the local herdsmen.It's just "occupying the nest", not "occupying the land".

But the southwestern side is a densely populated place. The natives have slashed and burned the land, and the land has been planted here for hundreds of years. The fields on the border are not barren fields.

Wang Yuanwai should have changed the name and surname of the cultivated land owned by the local natives through some operations, and turned it into a "Shangtun".

On one side, noble relatives "occupy the nest", and on the other side, businessmen "occupy the land".

The disadvantages of "opening the Chinese law" to Guangxi, it is equivalent to occupying both ends, how can there be no accidents.

"It really is 'someone in Beijing'."

Among so many ledgers, there is a book that is dedicated to recording the entertainment and exchange of interests of the various aristocratic families in Heshuntian Mansion and Yingtian Mansion, as well as officials.

"As expected of the Lianghuai salt merchants, these nobles in Nanjing account for more than half."

Yang Xiuxian roughly opened it, then frowned.

Qiu Zijin was copying other account books, and sighed while copying.

In order not to startle the snake, after they copied these ledgers, they had to ask Mei Qianzhang to send them back in their original form.

The Ming Dynasty implemented the so-called "two capitals system".

Since Yongle Emperor Zhu Di moved the capital of Ming Dynasty from Nanjing Yingtianfu to Beijing Shuntianfu, many relatives of the original Zhu family, as well as the descendants of the founding heroes who survived the Hu Weiyong case and the Jingnan battle , was left in Nanjing for the elderly.

There are six ministries in Beijing Shuntian Mansion, Guozijian, Inspectorate, and Zongren Mansion, all of which are in Nanjing Yingtian Mansion.In addition, there are guarding eunuchs in Nanjing, whose status is second only to that of the chief inspector.There is also a so-called "counselor and maintenance".It looks full of momentum, and it can completely rival Beijing.

However, most of the officials in Nanjing are idlers.The Nanjing imperial court is more used for the retirement of officials and relegation.

Just like the eunuch Niu Yu who was implicated in the abolition of Empress Wu before, he was also demoted to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables.

According to the unwritten rules of the court, as long as you arrive in Nanjing, your political career will come to an end.But the emperor didn't want to continue to counterattack and reckon, so let's save it for the rest of his life.

As a result, these people had a noble status and had nothing to do. Relying on the royal favor, they formed a chain of interest with the Huaiyan merchants not far away.Not only sold them salt, but also became a "smoke bomb" for their misconduct.

Not only Nanjing, but the royal family and eunuchs in Beijing, because they hold real power, earn much more than their relatives in the south.

Just saying "There are people in Beijing" can open many doors of convenience.

"Look, these nobles who sell salt are at least viscounts. There are also earls... eunuchs guarding various places are also among them. This eunuch Li is an old man who has served Emperor Xuande. Commander Yuan has been trained by him. care."

Yang Xiuxian pointed to the gold and jade names on the ledger, and said sadly, "The silverfish in these countries. That eunuch 'Huang Ren' just escaped the camp privately, colluded with the natives, and flattered his superiors. Compared with them , how much benefit has been gained."

The so-called "national thief" is nothing more than that.

I heard that the Nanjing Ministry of War has not moved its troops so far, because the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households have not collected enough food and grass.

Yang Xiuxian flipped through it casually, and the money that Wang Yuanwai had bribed these senior executives and relatives over the years, plus the money he used to buy salt from them, added up to a good amount.

"It seems imperative to reform the salt law."

Qiu Zijin raised his head and said seriously.

"Such chaotic 'occupation of nests' and 'occupation of land' affects not only Guangdong and Guangxi. If it is allowed to spread, it will harm all border towns. After I return to Beijing, I will think about it carefully and write a The copy, and present it to His Majesty."

Xueba always draws inferences from one fact and knows everything by seeing the small things. Qiu Zijin just made some calculations and felt that the big thing is not good.

Although he was just a small inspector, he was a ninth-rank official.But it can be heard and played, which is similar to an admonisher.

Seeing that the law of the ancestors has been ruined like this, and the benefit of the people has become a profit from the people, how can we sit idly by.

All in all, the reform of the salt law is imperative!

Wanda nodded after hearing this. Although he didn't know the salt method or the Chinese method, just looking at the transaction amount on the ledger was amazing enough.

In order to fight the lack of money, my brother-in-law forced him to find a way to make money.His internal library was also invaded by moths.

As the emperor, it was hard to get by.But it's unreasonable for a businessman to be so rich.

Everyone read the account books one by one, and finally saw the one related to Wang Zheng.

Wanda flipped through the booklet, which was half a foot thick, and her face darkened a little bit.

Hearing that shopkeeper Wan sent his subordinates to ask if Wang Zhi was well, Wang Zheng nodded.

"Go ask Duoduo to take Ah Zhi out."

He thought for a while, and then said, "Ask Madam if she wants to come out and see her."

When changing clothes for Ah Zhi this morning, Mei Niang accidentally dropped the tea bowl, and her spirit was not very good.I'm not sure if I'm willing to come out to meet guests now.

The maid responded, turned and went into the inner hall.

"In short, this time the Wang family has become like this, and I don't know when Master Wang will be able to recover."

Before the maid came to ask questions, Pan Guang was talking to Wang Zheng about the accident at Master Wang's house today.

Of course, they didn't know that the two Wang girls had eloped hand in hand, they thought it was Wang Yuanwai who forced the marriage and forced the two ladies away.

Wang just shook his head with a smile, lamenting that every family has a hard-to-recite scripture.

Fortunately, Ah Zhi is still young, and it is not too late to worry about the marriage matter at least ten years later.

The tricky thing is, Mr. Wang can't afford to be sick now, what can they do with their "business"... Over there in Jiaozhi Kingdom, they can urge them to ask for tea and sugar.

In addition, the "surplus salt" purchased by the Wang family from the Haibei Salt Fields belonging to Lianzhou Prefecture and Leizhou Prefecture must be sent to Hunan for sale, and it would be impossible without Wang Yuanwai's salt.

And there is...

Wang Zheng folded his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes.

It seems that the imperial court is about to start "countering the rebellion" again, and the originally busy trade routes have gradually become sluggish during this period of time.

Merchants are not only afraid of bandit rebels on the mountain, but also afraid of being exploited by state capitals along the way.

Since last month, apart from the Wang family's caravan, other caravans have seldom traveled to and from the business roads.Even if he wanted to leave, he would partner with the Wang family's caravan and fly under the Wang family's banner, not daring to go on the road alone.

When it comes to war, the Wang family has never been afraid.

More than ten years ago, Wang Zheng was just an ordinary businessman.The imperial court has suppressed the rebellion in Guangxi for so many years, the more bandits were suppressed, the more his business was expanded.

Even the government office in Xunzhou was burned down before, but nothing happened to the Wang family.However, after the bandit soldiers retreated, the Wang family's yard was extended toward the southern border.

He has to think about how to use this "suppression of bandits" to work up and down, and then make a huge sum of "war money".

"I don't care about the king. In a few days, we will visit the prefect. I don't know if the two maids and a servant who were given to him last time are satisfied, so I have to go to pay my respects anyway."

How the imperial court plans to "suppress bandits" this time, whether it is real or fake, and what it will look like, still needs to be found out.

The master Hou on the other side of the mountain is still waiting for him to deliver a message to them.

"Yes, I will prepare a gift later."

Pan Guang nodded.

Outside, Mei Qianzhang and Gao Hui followed Pan Xing all the way to the main hall.

"Brother Gao, try again next time you have a chance."

Pan Xing had a fight with Gao Hui in the morning, and was convinced by the beating.Now that I see him again, I feel very kind.

Gao Hui nodded his head, and seemed to be very interested.

Mei Qianzhang walked behind them, only feeling that her steps were floating, as if in a dream.

He was both looking forward to and feeling uncomfortable, wanting to see her, but also afraid of seeing her...

If I had known earlier, he shouldn't have climbed over the wall to the backyard that day.

In the next few days, I won't be worrying about gains and losses all the time and being at a loss.

After entering the main hall, Wang Zheng strode towards Mei Qianzhang with his arms outstretched before he could be greeted.

"Brother, thank you!"

Wang Zheng was a head taller than Mei Qianzhang, stretched out his thick hands, and embraced Mei Qianzhang in his arms.

"Thank you for saving my son. Brother Xiaoqian."

Mei Qianzhang grew up in her 20s and had never been treated like this.

This man's warm and strong chest, strong arms, thick and hearty laughter, everything is too much like a "father".

Mei Qianzhang was held in his arms, and he patted her firmly on the back twice.

"Okay! Good boy! You are worthy of being the shopkeeper Wan."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Wang Zheng just thought they were shy in the Central Plains and didn't care.

He held Mei Qianzhang's shoulders with both hands, looked down at him carefully, and said in surprise, "It's really strange, why does this brother look familiar to me? Pan Guang, Pan Xing, come and see, does he look like him?" An acquaintance?"

Hearing what Master Wang said, the brothers of the Pan family could not help but surround him curiously.

Although they had seen this brother Xiaoqian many times, their attention had been on shopkeeper Wan and Guanshi Yang before, and they had overlooked him as a servant.

Looking at it this way now, isn't there a feeling of deja vu?

"The child's eyebrows and eyes look like a person... who is it like?"

Wang Zheng let go of Mei Qianzhang's shoulder, and waved his fingers in the air for a long time, but he couldn't speak again.

"Yeah, look at him. Eyes, nose... Ah! I see."

Pan Guang clapped his hands vigorously.

"It's actually somewhat similar to the little master!"

After hearing this, Mei Qianzhang took two steps back in a panic, her face suddenly turned pale.

They won't be, see something?

"Indeed, indeed."

Wang Zheng suddenly realized, "This is indeed somewhat similar to Ah Zhi."

Gao Hui narrowed his eyes and looked over curiously.

"Hey, brother Xiaoqian, aren't you from Jiangxi? From my point of view...you look a bit like our Yao people, Ah Xing, don't you think so?"

Pan Guang looked him up and down, if this young man wore their Yao people's clothes, he would look like a man of the Yao family.

"I... I am an orphan, brought here by the master. I don't know where I am from."

Mei Qianzhang said dryly.

Shopkeeper Wan made up this identity for himself, mainly to fit the guide of "creating something out of nothing".

"Hey, as the saying goes, 'Heroes don't ask where they come from'. It doesn't matter where you come from."

Wang Zheng smiled happily, and patted him on the shoulder again, "What a nice young man. If I hadn't sworn brotherhood with Shopkeeper Wan, I really want to recognize you as a 'foster son'."

He is not in his fifties this year, so it is not out of the ordinary to recognize a young man in his early twenties as his godson.

"I heard that Wang Yuanwai actually wanted you to marry his maid? In my opinion, you are more than enough to marry Miss Wang. Unfortunately, I only have one son, Ah Zhi. If I have a daughter, I will marry you. In this way , you can be my 'son-in-law', right?"

Wang Zheng looked down at the child, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it.

"Master Wang just joked."

Mei Qianzhang shook her head in fear, "I'm just a servant."

How can a person like me, a petty thief, be worthy of being the son of Mr. Wang...

If Mei Qianzhang had ever imagined that Mei Niang would come back to pick him up one day when she was a child.

He didn't even dare to think about his father.

After all, Mrs. Lan had already said that even Mei Niang didn't know who the benefactor who made her pregnant was.

For a man like Wang Dadao, the hero of the world is his father... Even if he just thinks about it in his heart, it seems to be defiled.

"Hey, what is worthy or not, I, Wang Zheng, was also an illiterate when I was your age."

Wang Zheng put his arms around his shoulders vigorously, "There is another saying among you Han people that makes sense. It's called—don't bully the young and poor. You are still young, maybe in two years, your career will still be ahead of me."

Pan Guang and Pan Xing smiled and nodded in agreement.

Maybe it was because they thought he looked similar to Wang Zhi, and the two brothers also felt that the younger brother Xiaoqian looked more pleasing to the eye.

"Master, the lady and the young master are here."

At this moment, girl Duoduo walked to the front hall to report.

After seeing Wang Dadang holding Mei Qianzhang, he even took a second look curiously.

Mei Qianzhang did not expect to see Mrs. Wang when she came to Wang's mansion this time, she froze on the spot as if her heart forgot to beat.

That day outside the yard, he only heard a woman's weak voice from inside, and the servants chased him out.He immediately ran away without even seeing the woman.

So, can I finally see her today... no...

Suddenly, Mei Qianzhang took two steps back and shrank behind Gao Hui.

No, he didn't want to see her anymore.

What if it wasn't his mother, what if he was wrong?

There are so many people who know how to draw plum blossoms, maybe... maybe it's the painting painted by another "Wang Meishi", which was acquired by Wang Da, and it happened to be hung in the Wang family's garden.

But didn't they just say that they look a lot like Ah Zhi.

If the woman in the room wasn't his mother, and Ah Zhi wasn't his half-brother, how could they be so similar...

No, even if she were his mother, he didn't want to see her anymore.

What will you say when you see her?

Ask her why she didn't come to pick him up this year, and ask her if she still remembers herself?

Mei Qianzhang clenched her teeth so hard that her chin creaked.

"Are you OK?"

This little thief, who was used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, was shocked by his distraught appearance, and even a dull person like him felt that something was wrong with Mei Qianzhang.

"I……"

Mei Qianzhang put one hand on Gao Hui's arm, feeling that she could hardly breathe.

He shouldn't have come, he shouldn't have come to say hello today at all.

Do not!

He shouldn't have followed Lord Wan to Xunzhou at all.

If he didn't come to Xunzhou, he could at least look at the picture of plum blossoms in the dead of night and imagine what his mother looked like.

The imaginary mother wouldn't want her, wouldn't be someone else's wife, someone else's mother...

"Brother Xiaoqian."

At this time, Wang Zhi ran out from the back of the hall with big strides.

This time he had learned the lesson from the morning, and he never dared to jump on the adults again.After running for two steps, he hurriedly changed into small steps, came to the back of Mei Qianzhang, and hugged his thigh.

"My brother came to see me, Ah Zhi is so happy."

This elder brother can understand Yao dialect, and there is no obstacle for Wang Zhi to communicate with him.

"Hasn't Susu come?"

He let go of Mei Qianzhang and glanced behind him and Gao Hui.

The little guy was a little lost without seeing Wanda.

"Ah Zhi, come here."

A gentle female voice sounded from behind Mei Qianzhang.

Although the words are in Yao dialect, the tenderness in the words and the kind of love from the heart are beyond words.

Mei Qianzhang couldn't help turning her head, watching Ah Zhi obediently walk up to a woman, holding her by the corner of her clothes, obediently calling her mother.

The woman sat on the right chair in the main hall, lowered her body slightly, rubbed Wang Zhi's shoulders, raised her chin, and looked in the direction of Mei Qianzhang and Gao Hui.

Almost at a glance, she recognized Mei Qianzhang.

He and Ah Zhi look so much alike.

The same big black and round eyes, high nose bridge.When not smiling, the corners of the mouth will be slightly curved.

Except for being a little darker and a little taller, this child looks exactly like Ah Zhi when he grows up.

Although she didn't know why this child appeared in Xunzhou, she was sure that this was the one she gave birth to in Guilin's courtyard more than 20 years ago.

This is my son.

She gave birth to a son who she hadn't seen for more than 20 years and abandoned within a month.

Wang Zhi was surprised to see two lines of tears falling from the corners of his mother's eyes, he stood on tiptoe in a panic, and touched Mei Niang's cheek with his fat little hands.

"Mother, why are you crying?"

Hearing what his son said, Wang Zheng also hurriedly turned around, squatted down and held his wife's hand, and said in shock, "Why is it so cold? Is it really still sick? Hurry up, Duo, help the lady in to rest."

"I'm fine. I'm just flustered. It's okay."

Mei Niang held her husband's hand instead, but her eyes were still looking at the boy standing not far away.

On Mei Qianzhang's side, seeing the three of them enjoying themselves in harmony, like a family relationship, made her heart ache even more.

Yes, so what if you see it?

She won't recognize him, and he can't recognize her.

Even if they see each other, both sides will only increase their sadness in vain.

"Brother Xiaoqian, brother Gao, I'm really sorry. I'm afraid my wife is not feeling well, so I'm going to send her to rest at the back. I can't entertain you anymore. I will definitely come to visit in two days, and I still have something to ask What about Shopkeeper Wan and Brother Gao?"

Master Wang looked at his wife's pale face, and even saw the cold sweat on her forehead. He didn't dare to be careless, and while ordering Pan Guang to invite a doctor, he wrapped his arms around her waist, ready to help her up.

"We...give a salute to Madam, and we're leaving too."

Mei Qianzhang squeezed her palms hard, opened her eyes wide, and held back the tears that might burst out at any moment.

He took a deep breath and walked up to Meiniang step by step.

Mei Niang unconsciously put her arms around her youngest son's shoulders, and didn't even hear Wang Zhi's cry of pain.

Mei Qianzhang looked at the woman in front of her while walking.

As if to firmly imprint her appearance into his mind, he watched carefully inch by inch.

The woman's skin is very fair. Although she is over [-] years old and has slight wrinkles around her eyes, it is hard to hide her beauty.

No wonder Xiao Wangzhi is so white. It seems that he looks dark, so he should look like his father.

The woman's eyes are big, but her eyes are very gentle, her lips are slightly raised, she must be a gentle mother.

She is petite, and it seems that I can let her do this... I hope Ah Zhi can be taller and more powerful like Wang Zheng when he grows up.

Finally, he walked up to Meiniang and knelt down slowly.

Mei Niang couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, her eyes were full of tears, and she shook her head unconsciously.

Mei Qian supported the ground with both hands, and kowtowed heavily to the ground.

Now, thank you for choosing to give birth to me.give me life.

Growing up in the courtyard, Mei Qianzhang naturally knew how Mrs. Lan and the others dealt with an unexpected baby like him.

Back then, Mei Niang did not choose to kill him, but gave birth to him. To him, it was already a great kindness.

Looking at Mei Qianzhang's black eyes, Mei Niang finally couldn't hold back her tears and welled up.

Mei Qianzhang looked at her, bent down again, and put her head on the ground.

Now, thank you for coming out to see me today,

I lived to be in my 20s, and finally met my mother, who let me know where I came from.

I am not a tree without roots, nor a source without water.

Mei Qianzhang closed her eyes and slammed it hard one last time, not even noticing that her head was hurt.

The last one, forgive me for not being able to recognize you.

I can't bear to disturb your peaceful life now, and you probably don't want me as a son of a thief... But I promise, I will change my mind and start a new life from now on.

Since this is already the case, it is better to separate the two from now on, and let each of them be well.

More than 20 years of missing, more than 20 years of resentment, more than 20 years of hard work and longing.It ends up converging on these three heads.

When Mei Niang saw him stand up at last, she resolutely looked into her eyes, but felt her hands and feet were cold and her heart ached.

The fate between her and this child... Let it be broken like this.

We can't be a mother and child in this life, but if there is an afterlife, let me double compensate you.

Wang Zheng felt that his wife's hands were getting colder and colder. Tears welled up in his eyes. He even had difficulty breathing. He quickly picked her up by the waist and walked back.

"lady!"

At this time, Mei Qianzhang suddenly called out.

how?

Mei Niang pinched Wang Zheng's clothes and turned to look at him.

Is he... my father?

Mei Qianzhang asked with her eyes.

Mei Niang shook her head helplessly.

Mei Qianzhang smiled wryly.

Well, he is unworthy after all...

Mei Qianzhang looked at the situation where the family of three left, showing a lonely smile.

Let's never see each other again...

Big teardrops meandered and fell from his cheeks. The young man turned around and looked at the bright orange sky outside the yard. He breathed a long sigh of relief. Let it go.

From now on... I am going to live my own life.
