Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 1144

“If she doesn’t have her parents’ company now, she will feel that her parents don’t love her when she grows up.”

The eldest princess has gone mad. If she really comes back, the Empress Dowager is worried that Qinghe will be ridiculed.

And what she did, no one dares to talk about it in front of Qinghe now, but that may not be the case in the future.

"Your Majesty, General Xiao has passed away." At this moment, bad news arrived.

General Xiao had been seriously ill for many years because of the assassination attempt on him by Murong Yun's rebels; even Grand Tutor Zhou was dead.

Now that he has passed away, even if the Empress Dowager wanted to ask Murong Yu to allow Murong Yun to return to the capital to visit her relatives, she couldn't, because the court officials would definitely disagree.

The Empress Dowager secretly wiped away a tear.

"Aunt, I'll leave the palace first."

Upon learning the news, Yun Xiyue immediately sent people to offer condolences.

It's already quite an achievement that they've managed to hold on for so many years.

"Your Majesty, Madam Xiao said that the old general passed away peacefully. Before he died, he saw his son, grandson, daughter, and great-grandson all there."

Xiao Rongrong returned this time mainly because her father was seriously ill.

She's been staying at the Xiao family's house recently.

I spend every day with my father.

General Xiao lived a very happy life in his final years.

He is content to see his most beloved daughter happy now.

Nothing is more important than protecting the country and ensuring his daughter's happiness and well-being, so he had no regrets. If he had to say something, it would be that he couldn't see the emperor one last time.

The Emperor was General Xiao's apprentice. When he was young, Murong Yu often went to the Xiao family to learn military strategy, martial arts, and spear techniques from him.

They were all taught by General Xiao himself.

Grand Tutor Zhou and General Xiao have both passed away, leaving only General Zeng, who is currently stationed at the border. His life is far from easy; his granddaughter caused trouble and died. His eldest grandson has also gotten into trouble and is now a wanted fugitive.

He spent his entire life on the battlefield paying off the karmic debts of his descendants.

The reason Murong Yu didn't touch the Zeng family was because of General Zeng. If he were gone, the Zeng family would definitely be much worse off than before.

I heard the news of General Xiao's passing.

General Zeng practiced his skills on the wall for a whole day without eating or drinking.

"We're getting old, we're all getting old."

"The former Three Young Masters of Beijing, then the Three Elders of Beijing, two of them have passed away, and now only I am left."

......

When Murong Yu met with the Grand Preceptor of Dongling and heard the news, he sent someone to offer condolences.

"My timing is terrible! I've known the old general for many years." The Grand Preceptor of Dongling planned to go to the Xiao residence to offer condolences.

I want to take Cui Yan with me.

Murong Yu agreed, but the injured chains could not be removed.

"If Senior Brother comes along, does the Emperor think we'll run away?"

Murong Yu said, "The Imperial Preceptor has misunderstood. We don't have the key. And the matter of Cui Yan's assassination attempt on Princess Ling is still unclear, so we shouldn't have released him in the first place."

The Imperial Preceptor of Dongling was furious.

In the end, Cui Yan was not brought along.

Bai Daozi went along and kept a close eye on things the whole time.

It's difficult for him to do anything he wants.

"Ayue."

It was night when Murong Yu returned to Jiaofang Palace.

He also went to the Xiao family to offer incense.

He didn't look well.

Yun Xiyue stepped forward and took his hand. "Was the old general's death related to the Eastern Ling Kingdom?"

"No, they said his time had come and the general passed away peacefully." Murong Yu was somewhat tired and felt a little sad.

General Xiao spent a lot of time with him.

Grand Tutor Zhou and General Zeng were the same.
