Little did they know that the conversation between Gu Luoheng and Mu Qingli had already ended, and Mu Qingli was now following his mother to see the guests off.

At this time, most of the other guests had left, and Fang Jiale only said goodbye after knowing that the two children had finished talking.

"Ali is getting more and more beautiful as she grows up. She looks a lot like Qin. I heard that my brother-in-law can come back for the New Year this year? That's great. At least your family can be reunited this year."

Fang Jiale really liked the child Ali. He held her hand and was reluctant to leave. He also smiled and joked with Cheng Qin.

She knew it was not good for the two children to meet in private like this, but everything was arranged by Ali and she believed that her son knew what was going on and would not offend anyone easily, so she helped to cover it up. She didn't know what the two children talked about.

Cheng Qin blushed a little embarrassedly when he heard her teasing, but soon smiled and nodded, "Yes, I heard that the war is coming to an end. Brother Yuan will be able to come back to spend the New Year with the three of us at the end of the year."

But this time, she didn't know what happened. The letter that was scheduled to be sent once a month had not been delivered. If she hadn't heard about any changes at the border, she would have been a little worried.

Mu Qingli saluted with a smile, and her eyes and eyebrows curved together, making people happy.

"Aunt Fang, I heard that Brother Heng will be taking part in the Autumn Examination soon. With his ability, he will definitely win first place. Ali, let me congratulate you first. Don't forget to send Ali the invitation when you hold the celebration banquet at home."

At this time in her previous life, someone had won the imperial examination and was at the peak of his fame, so much so that nine out of ten girls in Beijing, whether engaged or not, were deeply in love with Gu Luoheng, who was riding a horse in the Imperial Street. This was part of the reason why she ended up in such a situation later.

There are some things or people that one is not destined to get, but some people don't want others to get them and the other party cherishes them. But this time, she wants everyone to watch how they will live a fulfilling life.

These words also made Fang Jiale feel happier. He almost chuckled and gently touched her head.

"Don't worry, Ali. Even if no one else invites me, I will still send you an invitation. After all, I like Ali the most. Even our Ah Heng is the same."

Cheng Qin smiled and glanced curiously at the young man beside her, with a look of satisfaction in her eyes.

Although this marriage was arranged as a child marriage, both families were very satisfied with each other, otherwise they would not have allowed the two children to be so close.

Even though he was used to his mother's habit of teasing him, Gu Luoheng still couldn't help but quickly lower his eyes and his ears turned red, sighing helplessly in his heart.

Sometimes even he felt that his mother was like a child. This naughty child's temper made him helpless but there was really nothing he could do.

Fortunately, Fang Jiale did not keep teasing his son. He just said a few words and took his son away without even noticing that his son subconsciously looked back.

Mu Qingli didn't say anything else, but just stood at the door and watched their backs as they left, with a gentler smile on the corner of his lips.

She knew that no matter in her past life or present life, Gu Luoheng would never reject her as long as she asked. But this time, she hoped that they could move forward together instead of someone always giving in for her. She was unwilling to let him suffer such an injustice.

After sending them off, Cheng Qin looked at his daughter beside him with curiosity and couldn't help but lower his voice, "Ali, what did you two say in private?

After hearing what his mother said, Mu Qingli retracted his gaze, smiled and took his mother's arm to change the subject, "That's a little secret between us, I won't tell you, mother. Mother, let's go visit grandpa and his family later, okay?"

"Speaking of which, I haven't been home much lately due to so much going on. And they must be worried sick about you for five years. I'd better send a letter back to tell them first. We will go visit them after the results of Ah Heng's autumn examination are announced.

It's just right that your father might be back by the time we get back. Then we can have a family reunion and have a good New Year's Eve. This time he's back, he should be able to stay a little longer."

Cheng Qin was really tempted by her suggestion. He couldn't help but raise his hand to touch his chin and immediately started to make plans.

Mu Qingli successfully changed the subject and didn't say anything else, just nodded in agreement from time to time.

Who knew that they had just walked a short distance when they heard hurried footsteps behind them. They subconsciously turned around and saw Mu Fushu walking in with a sullen face.

Mu Qingli looked at the anger that could not be hidden in his brother's eyes, his eyes flashed slightly, and he lowered his eyes and stood quietly beside his mother.

Cheng Qin, on the other hand, raised his hand curiously and called his son over, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Why didn't you help your mother see your Aunt Fang off? Why did you run off? I've been busy all day. I asked the kitchen to make some delicious food. You can go and send some to your father later."

When Brother Yuan was not around, Fu Chen took good care of her and the child. He silently did a lot of things he could to help, and he didn't let anyone notice his presence so as not to cause them trouble. He was really thoughtful.

Who knew that her son would stride over to her, and without her having time to explain, he quickly said something with a sullen face, and it was this sentence that made her face change instantly.

.....

At the distant border, even though no one was talking at this time, the sound of the wind seemed to carry a solemn and murderous aura, so frightening.

But if you listen carefully, you can still hear words coming from time to time in the wind:

"These sons of bitches are so annoying. They retreat every time I beat them, but they just keep coming back to get beaten again. It's so annoying."

"That's right. Sometimes I even think these barbarians are such cowards. They've been beaten so badly that there are only a few left, yet they still want to make a comeback. Fortunately, the general is so powerful that he can lead us to victory every time."

"That's right, our general is so awesome! Every time I go into battle with him, my blood boils, and I can even kill everyone with one blow! Sometimes I even wonder if the general is the god of war from heaven, how can he be so awesome?"

"Hahaha, you're a new recruit, aren't you? If you've followed the general for a long time, you wouldn't doubt his abilities. If he didn't have this amazing ability, do you think his title of guardian of the nation is earned for nothing?"

"Unfortunately, we never had enough food in the past few years. Otherwise, the general would have been able to end this chaos more quickly. But in recent years, things have been better. To be honest, it's all thanks to the general's wife's subsidies. Otherwise, we would have starved to death long ago."

"That's right. Sometimes we really can't count on those nobles in the capital. They are busy eating and drinking and enjoying themselves in the capital, while we are suffering here. Every time, we can't even replenish our food supplies, let alone weapons."

Mu Yuan had just finished bathing and cleansed himself of blood when he heard these words. He couldn't help but frown.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"
