Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

"There is nothing wrong with the mother and son in the East Palace."

Mu Yao's voice was full of certainty.

There is nothing wrong with it?

Cheng Wan pursed her lips slightly, and finally lowered her head in silence.

There are some things she is not qualified to say.

Besides, even if she were asked to speak, she didn't seem to know what she could say...

"When you return to Liangzhou this time, I order the Zhaowu Commandant to accompany you to protect you on your journey."

"Captain Zhaowu?"

Mu Yao's words interrupted Cheng Wan's thoughts and made Cheng Wan feel some inexplicable subtlety about the four words "Zhaowu School Lieutenant".

"General Zhou personally requested the merit for your elder brother," Mu Yao looked at Cheng Wan, a faint smile flashing in his eyes: "Marquis Zhaoping, congratulations, your elder brother is now a sixth-rank Zhaowu lieutenant."

Sixth rank...Zhaowu Commandant...

Zhaowu Commander... Marquis of Zhaoping...

Cheng Wan blinked twice quickly, slightly suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and bowed to Mu Yao with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness!"

After saying that, Cheng Wan quickly knelt down in the direction of the capital: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!"

Although he was only a small sixth-rank Zhaowu commander, his appointment ultimately had to be approved by the emperor.

"Get up."

Cheng Wan stood up again, his clear eyes still revealing irrepressible joy: "Your Highness, I can take care of myself, there is no need..."

"There is no need to discuss this matter further." Mu Yao interrupted Cheng Wan and said, "You can go back by yourself. Don't say that Yan Chu is worried, I will also be worried about you."

Having said this, Cheng Wan no longer refused Mu Yao's kindness.

Thinking that Cheng Daping could go home with her this time, Cheng Wan's heart suddenly filled with joy.

Their family can be reunited!

Mu Yao stood up, his eyes were calm and his voice was cold: "The college entrance examination is coming soon. Now that you have made a decision, you should leave as soon as possible."

Cheng Wan's expression became serious: "Yes!"

......

The eastern sky was turning pale, the gray-blue dome turned from dark to light, and the morning light passed through the mist, coating the eaves of the Huaian County tower with a layer of broken gold.

Outside the city gate of Huaian County, Shao Qing was holding Gu Yu and seeing off Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping.

"Night..."

Gu Yu pursed his lips and stretched out his arms towards Cheng Wan, asking Cheng Wan to hug him.

Cheng Wan took Gu Yu from Shao Qing's arms. Gu Yu immediately wrapped his arms tightly around Cheng Wan's neck, crying in his voice: "Wan Wan..."

Cheng Wan laughed and gently rubbed Gu Yu's little head: "I have to leave now, see you later."

Cheng Wan was in a hurry to go back to take the exam, but Gu Yu was too young, and bringing Gu Yu along would inevitably slow down his journey.

In addition, since Gu Yu stays here, Gu Yan and Gu Yu, the uncle and nephew, can also take this opportunity to get along well with each other.

Gu Yu raised his little head from Cheng Wan's neck, stared at Cheng Wan with his watery eyes, and said seriously:

"Then be careful on the road, remember to take your medicine, and remember to think of me.

You should do well in the exam. I will stay with my uncle and make sure he takes his medicine and has a good rest.

As soon as his injury heals, we will come back to find you immediately!"

"Okay~" Cheng Wan blinked, suppressed the wetness in her eyes, lowered her head and kissed Gu Yu's cheek, then handed Gu Yu to Shao Qing: "Shao Qing, I'll leave them both to you."

Shao Qing nodded heavily: "Don't worry, I will take good care of them!"

"Take care of yourself, too."

After that, Cheng Wan looked at Gu Yu in Shaoqing's arms with slightly red eyes, and said in a gentle voice: "Uncle Shaoqing is very hard-working, Sui Sui must listen to Uncle Shaoqing and let Uncle Shaoqing worry less, understand?"

"Yes! Suisui knows!" Gu Yu tightened his face and promised seriously.

Shao Qing hugged Gu Yu's arms tightly, feeling really fond of the little baby in his arms.

Cheng Wan, Cheng Daping, Shao Qing, and Gu Yu, the gazes of the three big and one small were intertwined in the morning light, and an emotion called "reluctance" flowed back and forth between the four of them.

However reluctant you may be, the time of separation will eventually come.

Cheng Wan took a deep breath: "Brother, let's go home!"

After saying that, Cheng Wan turned around, took the reins from the soldier who was leading the horse, and resisted the urge to look back at Gu Yu again, and swiftly jumped onto the horse.

Cheng Daping, who had been silent the whole time, reached out and patted Shao Qing on one shoulder: "Take care!"

"drive!"

Cheng Wan shouted softly, squeezed his legs against the horse's belly, and the horse neighed and ran forward with all four hooves.

"drive!"

Cheng Daping followed closely behind.

Shao Qing stood there holding Gu Yu, their eyes closely following the receding figures of Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping. As the distance quickly increased, the reluctance in Shao Qing and Gu Yu's hearts quickly accumulated to a peak.

Until he could no longer see Cheng Wan and Cheng Daping, Gu Yu cried out and leaned on Shao Qing's shoulder.

"Wanwan...wawa...wuwu..."

The sun was shining brightly in the sky, casting a golden glow over every place.

The baby's cry seemed to crush the golden light between heaven and earth...

Shao Qing did not try to persuade Gu Yu to stop crying, but just kept patting Gu Yu's back with one hand.

He couldn't persuade her because if he opened his mouth, he might burst into tears.

Shao Qing lowered her head and rubbed the tears on her face onto Gu Yu's clothes, then carried Gu Yu into Huaian County.

There were people waiting for them to return in the backyard of Huaian County Government Office.

……

In the room where Gu Yan was in the backyard of Huaian County Government Office, Gu Yan was waiting for Shao Qing and Gu Yu to send Cheng Wan and his sister back.

Mu Yao was also sitting beside the bed talking to Gu Yan.

Although he said he was talking to Gu Yan, in fact, it was almost all Mu Yao's one-sided output.

There was no one else around except Gu Yan and Liang Da. Mu Yao's talkative nature was fully displayed and he talked to his heart's content.

"..., Marquis Zhaoping is much more determined and stronger than I thought, even..." Mu Yao frowned slightly and slowly uttered a few words: "I admire him a little."

"In the past, if someone told me that I would admire a woman in the future, I would definitely accuse him of false speech.

But now, I do have some respect for Marquis Zhaoping."

Mu Yao looked at Gu Yan, who was full of pride, pursed his lips, and said in a steady and serious voice: "Yan Chu, Marquis Zhaoping is a powerful man."

powerful.

This is Mu Yao's overall impression of Cheng Wan after he met and communicated with Cheng Wan again.

"Yes, she is very powerful."

Gu Yan understood Cheng Wan’s strength earlier than Mu Yao.

This kind of strength does not only mean that Cheng Wan has good kung fu, but also that Cheng Wan has a strong heart, a strong spirit, and a strong will...

Mu Yao shook his head and sighed, "The road that Marquis Zhaoping is on is too dangerous. You rely on her, and she also needs you. Yan Chu, get well soon..."
