The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Liang Yueru nodded, "Well, grandpa is very thoughtful."

She was not particularly happy to receive praise from her grandfather.

My house was robbed and I have lost all my money, so I am unable to support my cousin. In order to ease the financial pressure, my cousin might marry a few more wealthy concubines.

In the future, even if she marries her cousin, she will have to compete for favor with many women.

After Duke Liang and the Emperor discussed countermeasures, the Emperor agreed without hesitation and immediately ordered the Secretariat to draft a proclamation to be issued nationwide.

Gu Qinghuai and his group finally set out on the journey back to Qinghe County.

Also traveling with them were Qi Leyang and two children.

When leaving the city gate, Prince Yi went to see them off in person, fearing that the soldiers guarding the city would embarrass Qi Leyang.

Gu Qinghuai was worried about the safety of Prince Yi, Lord Liu's family, and Lord Xiao Yuan's family, so he left all ten wolfhounds to them.

If she encounters fierce dogs on the road again, she can buy new ones and feed them the pills.

Moreover, she could go directly to the mountains to catch ferocious beasts such as tigers, wolves, and leopards, feed them pills, and build an army of ferocious beasts.

Prince Yi looked at Gu Qinghuai, suppressed his reluctance, and forced a smile, saying, "Have a safe trip. If you have any problems in the future, feel free to ask me for help. Don't be polite. You have thick skin anyway."

Gu Qinghuai also smiled sincerely, "Your Majesty is thoughtful. Please remember what I told you before. At the same time, take care of yourself and don't be so rude."

"I know, I know!" Prince Yi nodded, "I find you are quite a nagging woman."

Gu Qinghuai rolled his eyes at him, turned around and got into the carriage with Xiao Huhu in his arms.

Qi Leyang brought his two children to kneel and kowtow to Prince Yi, then said some farewell words while crying before getting into the carriage, looking back every few steps.

Looking at the carriage team going away, Prince Yi's eyes also turned red.

In the carriage, Yan Shaorun raised his fair little face and asked expectantly, "Mother, if we leave the imperial capital and go to Aunt Xiaohuai's house, will no one bully us?"

"Yes, no one will bully us anymore. We can live freely," Qi Leyang touched his little head and smiled comfortably.

Yan Shaorun's dark eyes sparkled with tiny stars. He straightened his back and continued to ask, "Does it mean that my brother and I don't have to stay in the house all day? We can go out and play, and make many good friends who don't despise us?"

Qi Leyang's nose felt sore and he nodded gently, "Yes, you can go out and play. The countryside is fun. You can catch fish and shrimps in the ditch, catch crickets, catch rabbits in the mountains, and dig out bird nests in the trees."

"Oh, that's great! Mom, I love the countryside!" Yan Shaorun clapped his hands, very excited.

Yan Shaoze didn't understand what his mother and brother were saying, but when he saw them laughing, he also started to chuckle.

Qi Leyang was happy from the bottom of his heart.

She finally took her two children and escaped from the imperial capital, a place that made her miserable and suffocated!

Moreover, the elder brother and the younger brother are both alive!

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, and the future is promising!

The only regret is that she and Yan Nanbai will be separated and become strangers from now on.

She loves Yan Nanbai, but she loves herself and her children more.

Yan Nanbai is sincere to her and the children, but he has no ability to protect them. Besides, he is Yan Xiang’s biological son and it is impossible for him to deny his parents and family.

She didn't want him to be caught between her and her family, so it would be best for them to separate.

From then on, he could remarry and have children and continue to live a relaxed and happy aristocratic life.

She leads her two children and lives an ordinary but solid and free life.

Qi Leyang lowered the car curtains, blocking the towering city gates of the imperial capital from sight.

What Qi Leyang didn't know was that Yan Nanbai had become a refugee beggar, and was not living the happy life of a nobleman as she had imagined. After Yan Nanbai was escorted to the southern border by his family, Yan Nanbai managed to escape.

In order to avoid being hunted down by the people behind him, he blended into the crowd of refugees.

Because he was born into a noble family and lacked life experience, he took out silver to buy food on the way and accidentally revealed his identity, so he was targeted by a group of refugees.

Not only were his clothes, shoes and silver robbed by the refugees, he was also severely beaten.

Yan Nanbai had no choice but to strip the dead man's clothes and put them on, then picked up a bamboo stick to use as a crutch and limped towards the imperial capital.

Along the way, he was extremely hungry, so he learned from the refugees to dig wild vegetables, pick wild fruits, and rob bird nests.

If he really can't find food and is extremely hungry, he will give up his dignity and beg.

In just two or three months, he had become so thin that his bones were visible, and his skin was as black as charcoal. He was no different from the refugees on the road, and there was no sign that he was once a nobleman.

But no matter how hard or tired he was, he never thought of compromising. He must return to his wife and children, and nothing can stop him!

Without him, the family doesn’t know how to deal with Le Yang and the two children. Their lives might even be in danger!

Along the way, he finally understood that he was a waste in the past, and without his family background, he was nothing.

He didn't even know which wild fruits were edible and which were not. He couldn't cook, wash clothes, tell millet from wheat, and didn't know how to survive in the wild.

He really is incapable of protecting his wife and children!

But even so, he still wanted to be with them. He wanted to use his clumsy hands and not very strong body to hold up a small sky for them.

He could take them away from the Yan family, go out to teach people how to read and write to earn tuition; he could also go out to do hard labor and support his wife and children entirely with his own abilities.

Even though he was poor, he wanted his wife and children to live with dignity and not have to worry about other people's feelings.

Anyway, he doesn't want anyone else except Le Yang in this life.

On the third day after Gu Qinghuai left the imperial capital, he finally arrived at the imperial capital after going through untold hardships.

But the soldier at the gate said he was a refugee and would not let him in.

He said he was Yan Nanbai, the third son of Prime Minister Yan. The soldiers guarding the city looked at him and burst into laughter.

"You are the third son of Prime Minister Yan? I am the son of the Dragon King!" The gatekeeper laughed at him. He lingered at the gate for two days without getting in. Fortunately, he heard the conversation of the soldiers and learned that Princess Leyang had followed the Princess of Qinghe County to Qinghe County and that they had just left for four or five days.

Although Yan Nanbai was very confused and didn't understand why Le Yang would follow the Princess of Qinghe County to Qinghe County, they didn't know each other at all and had no intersection.

But he was glad that Le Yang and the two children were still alive.

He leaned on his stick and limped to chase after the Princess of Qinghe County.

Gu Qinghuai was not in a hurry to travel. She planned to stay in each city for a day or two, visit all the grain stores in the city, and buy as much food as possible.

If you have food in your hands, you will not have to worry.

The white-headed and white-tailed birds flew high in the sky, keeping watch and guarding the area along the way.
