Xiao Jingyun said: "I'm afraid that you will think that I don't value your friends enough."

Lin Yue thought of Xiao Jingyun's thoughtful arrangements for the work to begin early in the morning. However, this thoughtfulness, coupled with the "tea", made her look at Xiao Jingyun become subtle.

"Honey, let's not be hypocritical."

Xiao Jingyun smiled and said, "I am sincere, but I am too cautious."

"But since you said that, I'll still follow your arrangements from now on. It's more natural this way."

Lin Yue couldn't help but laugh: "You know it's unnatural, don't you?"

Xiao Jingyun said: "After all, this is also the first time I'm taking care of my wife's friend, so it's a bit unfamiliar."

Lin Yue asked curiously, "Then you and Princess Cui...didn't you have any friends?"

Xiao Jingyun shook his head and fell into memories.

"She is a very well-behaved lady from a noble family. She has been learning how to treat people since she was young. She is always thoughtful and considerate, and no matter how big or small, she can never make any mistakes."

"I remember when we got married, I didn't know what to say. It was she who reminded me to go to bed early and to go to the palace to pay my respects the next day."

"Later, when I was leading troops abroad, I was young and full of energy, thinking that I had plenty of time left. It wasn't until she suddenly passed away that I realized that the time spent with someone can't be imagined, but must be truly given."

"I owe her."

Lin Yue said: "After you knew everything, why didn't you choose to stay in the mansion to take care of the child?"

Xiao Jingyun smiled bitterly, "That's another kind of deep self-reflection. Back when my brother first ascended the throne, if I hadn't gone, military power would have fallen into someone else's hands, which would have been greatly detrimental to the imperial power. I saw my mother's hair turn white with worry overnight, and I also saw Old Duke Xu, unable to move due to a back injury, still use a cane to attend court. I was terrified that handing military power to someone I didn't trust would cause civil unrest in the Wei Dynasty."

"So I finally thought, since my wife is gone, and my children have their brothers and mother to take care of them, I decided to die on the battlefield for my country."

"I resolutely sent troops then, and it was six years before I returned."

"Wang Huaiqing hid behind Nanny Wang and looked at me with a wary look. It's not that I didn't regret it, but I've seen so many lives and deaths that it's hard for me to express my emotions. As a result, Wang Huaiqing always thought that I didn't like him."

"Qing Yi, on the other hand, is able to understand things that ordinary people cannot at such a young age. Seeing that I was feeling down because of disciplining Wang Huaiqing, he wanted to comfort me. I was so happy that I accepted him as my disciple."

"Thinking about it now, his concern for me at that time might have been what's known as a 'father-son bond.'"

Lin Yue was listening intently and felt the same way.

However, the emperor and Xiao Huaizheng who were eavesdropping... felt a little sad.

Xiao Huaizheng: The emperor's uncle has sacrificed so much for their family. I must find a way to help him.

Xiao Jingxian: Woo woo woo, my second brother is so miserable. His first wife is gone, and if the second one runs away, he won’t be able to make up for it even if he pours his heart and soul into it.

etc!!!

Digging out your heart and lungs?? Isn't that the same as death?

Forget it, if my sister-in-law wants to run, then go ahead, but can you please save him first?!

Xiao Jingxian thought about it and wanted to go out as soon as he popped his head out, but the next moment, he was pulled out by an external force.
