Priceless: A widow with a baby asks the prince to marry again

In Zhao Bo's mansion, the older child who invited little Qin Hao to play was called away by his elders, leaving little Qin Hao alone in a secluded room.

But the child was not panicked at all. He sat down in the room and looked at the dim courtyard scene outside the door.

Outside the window of the room, a burly figure stood quietly, staring at the small figure inside through the crack of the window. His expression of longing, regret, and timidity was extremely inconsistent with his tough face...

After sitting for a while, he was still like this. Little Qin Hao turned his head and looked at the window with some dissatisfaction and said, "Aren't you going to come in and talk?"

The person outside the window seemed to be frightened and hid under the window...

Then he slowly stood up again, and with weak and heavy steps, he walked towards the room to face the twenty years that he could never get back.

Although he had seen him at the palace banquet, he didn't have time to take a closer look at that time. At this moment, little Qin Hao looked at the older middle-aged general without any hesitation, and then snorted: "You and my father are not much alike except for your figure!"

Qin Shuangyu's eyes widened with bitterness! He had not expected that the child already knew about their relationship!

Qin Hao avoided those bewildered eyes and continued calmly, "But Qin Tao, the Prince of Changtai, looks a lot like my father."

The suppressed emotions over the long years swept over like a flood!

The child was held in someone's arms before he could react, and the rough sobbing sound was transmitted to the child's ears along with the vibration of the chest...

"Lie'er... I don't know... I don't know..."

The words that had been prepared were blocked by the sorrowful voice. For the first time, little Qin Hao felt the split between emotion and reason...

Intellectually speaking, no matter what the reason was, my grandfather left my young father and great-grandfather and great-grandmother in Dongshan Village and married a rich man, and then there was no news for more than ten years. These are established facts.

When Dad thought he had no relatives, Grandpa was enjoying wealth and glory, and he even had a pair of children...

My mother said that even if the debtor is miserable and suffering, it is not a reason for the creditor to forgive him unless the suffering is inflicted by the creditor himself.

For example, my grandfather was a gambler, his feet were lame and his face was rotten, he lived in poverty, and my mother insisted that my grandfather did not deserve to be forgiven, and my grandmother died of illness because of my grandfather, so no one was qualified to forgive her on her behalf...

Qin Hao thought that he should treat his grandfather with the same consideration. His father had passed away, and his grandfather owed his father his companionship and love, which he could never repay...

"When Daddy was six years old, my grandfather Qin Chong enlisted in the military. In the first two years, he sent letters and small change every month. At first it was three cents, and later it was one tael. Although it wasn't much, every time Daddy received a letter, it was the happiest moment..."

"Whenever my father hears that a letter is coming soon, he will go to the village entrance to wait. Sometimes the letter will be late and he will get anxious, but he will still go to wait every day..."

"When the time came, Dad would resist the urge to take a peek first, and would rush home to show it to his great-grandfather, then take the letter back, read it carefully over and over again, and then hide each letter..."

"Until one day, a very heavy package came with the letter. Dad gave the letter to Great Grandfather as usual, and opened the package to check... He saw a heavy bag of silver, turned around in surprise and wanted to tell Great Grandfather, but found that Great Grandfather had burned the letter..."

"My great-grandfather didn't tell my father why, nor did he tell him what was written in the letter. That day, my father had an argument with my great-grandfather and was beaten by him. My father was very sad..."

"Later, Dad went to wait for the letter again, but was taken back home by Great Grandfather in anger... Great Grandfather told Dad that he would regard Grandpa Qin Zhong as dead and would not recognize him even if he came back. Dad didn't want to, so he quarreled with Great Grandfather and was beaten by him again."

"That time he was beaten so severely that his body was bleeding, but Dad still wanted to go and wait. Great-grandfather locked Dad in the room. Dad got angry and refused to eat or drink. Great-grandmother was so anxious that she tried to persuade him from both sides and secretly let Dad out... Great-grandfather couldn't do anything about Dad, so he just pretended not to see it..."

"But another month has passed, and my great-grandfather has stopped trying to stop me, but I still haven't received the letter..."

"Dad thought that the postman from Jinyan City was lazy and did not deliver the letter to Dongshan Village, so he secretly walked along the mountain road for more than an hour and found the postman's embassy in Jinyan City..."

"After hearing Dad's description, the people at the post office told him that if someone went to serve in the army and sent back a bag of silver at a time...then he must have died in the war, and his body would probably never be found..."

Qin Hao was talking, and tears were streaming down his face. He knew how sad his father must have been at that time... because he also felt the same way the day he lost his father...

Qin Hao felt the same way about his father, so he pushed the weak middle-aged general away and cried out in a childish voice: "My grandfather Qin Zhong is dead! It was built by my great-grandfather himself! He is buried with my grandmother in the Qin family tomb!"

Qin Shuangyu was sobbing and unable to speak. He raised his strong arms, wanting to hug the young child back, but he didn't have the strength to do so...

After a long while, he finally found his voice and spoke with a heart full of sorrow: "Chong... is the Chong of repetition and re-establishment. Qin Lie's father... is called Qin Chong..."

Little Qin Hao was stunned, tears and doubts hung on his face. He had been thinking about the heavy weight... But, is this important? Why correct it at this time?

"It doesn't matter who Qin Lie's father is or what his name is! After all, we have never seen him!"

An angry female voice sounded at the door. Little Qin Hao put aside his doubts, turned around and ran to his mother, hugged her thighs aggrievedly, and said in a complaining tone: "Mom... Haohao hates him..."

The immature words were like a sharp knife, piercing the middle-aged general's heart. The pain was so severe that he could no longer pretend to be decent. He could only hide his tearful face in embarrassment...

Liu Rusi hugged the little guy, feeling mixed emotions, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could she not guess that her son was deliberately catering to her likes and dislikes to make her happy...

She was indeed upset about the fact that Qin Lie's father had abandoned his family and son...

She once thought that Qin Lie's loneliness was just fate. Even if everyone passed away one after another and he was left alone, at least his relatives loved him very much... Only those who believe in feelings dare to give strong and pure feelings, right?

She had envied, felt sorry for, and even been touched by...

So when she found out that Qin Lie's father was still alive and living a happy life! Her heart, which had been touched by Qin Lie, was torn and hurt! It turned out that Qin Lie, who generously gave her warmth, was just a naive child who was deceived...

"Qin Zhong, the important word is Zhong, that's how Qin Lie pronounces it... To us, Qin Zhong is just a name, because this name represents Qin Lie's father, which makes him different from strangers!"

The suppressed and heavy crying continued intermittently. The man named Qin Shuangyu squatted on the ground, his burly body trembling, looking so fragile...

Liu Rusi turned away her gaze from him, and uttered words of revenge: "Qin Lie didn't spend a single cent of the one hundred taels that were used as pension."

"Qin Lie never said it, but I think he must have had some unrealistic thoughts in his mind... thinking that his father Qin Zhong was exchanged for the one hundred taels."

"Eight years ago, Qin Lie was preparing to join the army with the 100 taels on his back... Perhaps he was deceiving himself and fantasizing that he would use the 100 taels to exchange for his father..."

I don't know when tears started flowing from her eyes. The three generations of people in the room were filled with sorrowful cries...

"Time cannot be reversed. The years when Qin Lie was without a father have passed... and now, the Qin Lie who has seen Qin Zhong, cared about him, missed him, and would need him to make up for it, is no longer here."
