The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

Chapter 340 One who stays near vermilion gets stained red.

After Dong Yong finished speaking, the mother and son looked at each other speechlessly, tears streaming down their faces.

Liu stepped forward and placed the bowl in Dong Yong's hand on the table. She gently embraced her son and said, "My child, it's all my fault. I'm so useless. If I hadn't gotten sick, the family wouldn't have been a burden, and you wouldn't have been unable to go to school because of my medical treatment."

From a respectable scholar to a peasant, and even despised by your father-in-law. It's all my fault. If I had known it would turn out like this, I would have preferred to have died, so you and Xiaoqi wouldn't have suffered like this.

“Mother, what are you saying? Your son has never blamed you. Besides, filial piety is the most important virtue. How can your son just stand by and watch you get sick beyond cure and take the family’s money to go to school without a care in the world?”

Even if our son uses that money to study, and eventually becomes a scholar or even the top scholar in the imperial examinations, what's the point without you?

Madam Liu murmured, "Mother just feels sorry for you and Xiao Qi..."

"Mother, let's not talk about this anymore. Things will work themselves out. We'll deal with tomorrow's problems tomorrow. Could you help me with Xiaoqi? She hasn't eaten anything tonight."

Lady Liu released Dong Yong, turned around and went to the bedside to help Xiao Qi lean against her chest. She murmured in Xiao Qi's ear, "Xiao Qi, eat your food. You'll have the strength to wake up if you eat well. If you don't wake up soon, your husband will be taken away by someone else."

"Mother, don't talk to Xiaoqi about these things. Xiaoqi being alright is more important than anything else." Dong Yong picked up the bowl, and Liu Shi gently pinched Xiaoqi's chin with her hand. Dong Yong fed half a spoonful of porridge into Xiaoqi's mouth.

The next moment, Xiaoqi swallowed the porridge, and Dong Yong and his mother showed surprise and delight. So Dong Yong fed Xiaoqi the rest of the porridge and then wiped her mouth.

Then he helped her lie down properly: "Xiao Qi, you should rest well, but don't sleep too long, okay? If you sleep too long, I'm afraid I'll turn into an old man when you wake up. What will you do then if you don't even recognize me?"

Liu shook her head, picked up the basin, and went out.

After Wang Meiqiu and the others left, Nangong Li and An Yi and the others also returned to their residences.

An Yi went to the kitchen mysteriously and came back with two large steamed buns wrapped in a cloth.

Twenty saw that An Yi had brought back two steamed buns and asked curiously, "Boss, didn't you eat enough tonight? Why did you only take two steamed buns? And they're so big!"

An Yi wrapped the two steamed buns in a cloth and placed them on the table: "Why are you in my room so late at night instead of sleeping?"

"Boss, the master has punished me by making me return to the palace to do night soiling for a month. Can you please plead for me? Why is Nineteen fine, but I'm being punished? Waaah... This is not fair."

An Yi glared at Twenty: "Can your brain compare to Nineteen's? Have you ever heard the saying, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black'? Nineteen used to be with Wushuang all the time."

"He's read a lot of those shady books, so he must have learned a lot! Can you compare? Besides, when have you ever seen Nineteen suffer a loss? Even last time, when Nineteen ran off to Prince Qing's mansion to find the antidote for the prince, he got lost and almost got caught, but was rescued. Did you see how the prince only lightly punished him by making him empty the chamber pots after he came back?"

Twenty nodded: That seems to be true. Is it really true that one is influenced by one's company? Wait a minute, didn't Twenty mention something about himself before? Is it because he's been living with the boss for too long? Has he been assimilated?

So he caught it from the boss. Today, the master said that An Yi was simple-minded and honest, so when he got back, he asked the other guards. The other guards laughed and told him that "simple-minded and honest" meant "foolish," and he didn't dare tell the boss. No wonder he'd been living with the boss for so long. He really did catch it. Is he really stupid?

Thinking of this, Twenty timidly asked, "After you return to the Prince's Mansion, can I move in with Nineteen and live together?"

An Yi looked at Twenty in confusion and asked, "Why? Why would you move to Nineteen's place?"

20: "Because I want to be close to him so I can learn things I can't learn otherwise."

"What the hell do you mean? You mean I can't learn anything staying here? You've been corrupted by my company??" An Yi roared, his reaction this time quite quick.

An Yi suddenly shouted, startling Twenty: "Boss doesn't seem as stupid as everyone says. Look how quick his reaction is!"

"No! No! Boss, listen to my excuse, no! I mean, my explanation. It's just that I'm thinking about you because I'm busy with official duties and the Prince often takes you out."

You see, I've already told you to read more, but what if there's something I don't understand? I need to find someone to ask. You see, I live here, and what if you go out with the prince and don't come back for ten days or half a month? It'll be difficult for me to find someone to ask!

If I lived with Nineteen, things would be different. You see, Nineteen's job is basically within the city of Beili, and he rarely goes out or is sent out.

If there's anything I don't understand, I can ask him when he comes home at the latest. You see, you know everything. I'm such an honest and simple person, how could I possibly dislike you?

"Look at your martial arts skills! They're the best among all our bodyguards, that's why you're our leader. How could I possibly look down on you? You're my idol!"

"Really? Is it really like you say?" Dark One stared into Twenty's eyes, his tone skeptical.

Twenty nodded quickly: "Really! More real than real gold!"

An nodded after hearing this: "Yes, I understand. You want to live with Twenty so you can study more and become smarter!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Boss, you're right, that's exactly what I mean."

"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to Nineteen about it later."

"Boss, it's alright. I've already spoken to Nineteen. As long as you agree, I can move in. I'm going back now. I mean, I'll move in immediately after I get back to the Prince's Mansion."

Looking at Twenty's face, An Yi said in a serious tone, "I'm going to tell Twenty that I don't agree to you moving in with him."

"Why? Boss, didn't you also think I was stupid? You said you wanted me to read more and study more?"

An Yi added, "Because his place can only accommodate one person."

Twenty added, "Yes, that's why it's perfect for me to move there."

An Yi suddenly said, "You must have heard the saying, 'If a man doesn't look out for himself, he'll be punished by heaven and earth,' right?"

Twenty nodded: "I've heard of it, but boss, what does it have to do with me moving in and living with Nineteen?"

"What this means is that you should be a little selfish and think more about yourself. Look at us living together, even the prince thinks we're both stupid. If you moved in with Nineteen, do you think you'd be smarter than me in the future?"

"So, does that mean I'll be the dumbest person left in the entire manor? Can I handle that? Of course not! That's why I said his place can only accommodate one person. The main reason I don't agree to you moving there is because I'm moving there myself!"
