Chapter 76: Follow your heart, don’t seek fame or success



At the gate of the general's mansion.

As soon as Liu Hao's carriage arrived, the doorman hurried out to greet him: "Your Highness, you are here?"

"Well, let's pick up Xue'er."

Liu Hao got off the carriage carrying Nangong Jiu.

The concierge then noticed Nangong Jiu in Liu Hao's arms and said with a smile, "The princess is here too! Please come in!"

As soon as Liu Hao walked to the front yard with Nangong Jiu in his arms, Nangong Honglie and his son, as well as Nangong Yunxue, came out to greet them.

After some greetings, Nangong Jiuchong and the others happily extended their hands.

"Da Da Da"

Nangong Yunsheng stepped forward and took Nangong Jiu: "Xiao Jiuer, you are amazing. On the way to play, you did something big!"

[Oh no, I wanted to keep it a secret, how did my uncle know about it? ]

Nangong Jiu stared at Nangong Yunsheng with a look of surprise.

"On our way back from leaving the palace, we happened to see the Jingzhao Yin escorting those bandits back, and that's when we found out.

This is a great thing, why are you keeping it a secret?"

[Follow your heart, don't seek fame or success!] Nangong Jiu smiled faintly.

"Haha...you're just following your heart without seeking fame or recognition. Well done, Jiuer!"

Nangong Honglie smiled and reminded: "Okay, it's getting late, let them go."

On the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion, Liu Hao looked at Nangong Jiu in his arms.

"Jiu'er, you ran so fast earlier. It turns out you were busy with something important and wasted time. Tell me, what happened?"

Nangong Jiuzhi had a silly smile on his face.

Nangong Yunxue recounted what she had heard: "It is said that the poor grandson lives in Persimmon Alley. How about we go and see her on the way?

Two hundred taels of silver is a huge sum of money for ordinary people, and even more so for that grandmother and grandson. Don't cause them any more trouble."

Liu Hao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go take a look. Anyway, leave this matter to me. I guarantee it will be done properly."

"Okay! Brother Hao is always reliable in doing things." Nangong Yunxue nodded happily.

The old woman's house.

The old woman's grandson sat on a small stool, nibbling on the steamed bun in his hand.

When she heard someone knocking on the door, she was so scared that her steamed bun fell and she didn't dare to pick it up. She hid in the house crying.

"Grandma, grandma, the bad guys are coming, the bad guys..."

When the old woman heard the knock on the door, which was neither light nor heavy, neither hurried nor slow, she concluded that it was not a bad person, so she quickly took two steps forward to open the door.

"clatter!"

When the old woman saw that it was Nangong Jiu, she quickly saluted: "Princess!"

Nangong Yunxue introduced herself: "Old lady, I am this child's mother, and this is His Royal Highness the Second Prince."

The old woman was about to kowtow again, but Nangong Yunxue held her back.

"You're welcome, we're just stopping by to see if you need any help."

The old woman let the person into the courtyard and brought a chair. "My benefactor, the princess has helped us so much. We can't trouble you anymore."

Liu Hao looked at the yard and said, "Old lady, your yard is not bad. If you sell it, you should be able to exchange it for a similar small yard.

What I mean is that you and your grandson live here, and there is no capable person in the family, and you have a lot of money in your hands, so I'm afraid it's not safe.

Moreover, the sight of the scene will remind you of your past and make you sad.

I can help you find a yard similar to this one, so you can live somewhere more stable."

The old woman looked at the yard with nostalgia, then looked at her grandson who was slowly moving towards Nangong Jiu.

She wiped away her tears and said, "This is where I have lived for decades. I am really reluctant to leave.

But for safety and for my grandson, I am willing to move. I beg Your Highness to do me a favor."

"Okay, I'll send someone to do it when I get back. Before we move, I'll send someone to protect you, so you can live here without worry."

The old woman knelt down with a plop: "You are so kind, I cannot repay you. Please kowtow a few more times!"

Here, Nangong Jiu held the child's hand: "Da?"

The child seemed to understand: "I'm Lin Xu, two and a half years old!"

Nangong Jiu waved his arms and kicked his legs, grinning.

Nangong Yunxue supported the old woman and pointed at the two children with a smile: "Look, children like to play with children."

The old woman nodded: "The princess saved Xu'er's life!"

"Old lady, this may be a coincidence, don't take it too seriously..."

After an incense stick of time, Liu Hao, holding Nangong Jiu, took Nangong Yunxue and Xiao Wang back to the carriage.

The main courtyard of the prince's mansion.

Liu Hao took out the gifts he brought back for the mother and daughter.

"I saw this outside and thought it would suit you, so I brought it back for you.

Come, try it on and see if you like it."

A jade bracelet was worn on Nangong Yunxue's wrist, which contrasted well with her fair skin.

Nangong Jiu had a pair of gold bracelets and a pure gold longevity lock.

Liu Hao looked at the mother and daughter: "Do you like it?"

Nangong Jiu was the first to wave his arms to express his love.

Nangong Yunxue smiled and nodded: "Brother Hao's vision is excellent."

Liu Hao sensed the changes in Nangong Yunxue and was overjoyed.

"It's March now, and the peach blossoms outside the city are about to bloom. Choose a good day and I'll take you to enjoy the peach blossoms.

Once I have made my plans, we will go somewhere farther away, travel and have fun, and come back after two or three months.

Don't worry about the food, carriages, and staff for the trip, I will take care of it."

"Okay, Jiuer has a small pocket. The luggage can be placed in her pocket. We can travel light."

Nangong Jiu quickly joined in the fun: "Da!"
