There was a hint of amusement in Shi Qingluo's eyes. For a title that could be inherited, the people of the Xiao family would surely hold on to it.
Tao Liu had taken the initiative to send a message to her husband before, saying that she didn't want to be entangled with Xiao Yuanshi and the Xiao family anymore, so she wanted to take her daughter and live alone, and asked her husband for help.
The young husband also agreed to help, and promised to ask the scumbag father to give some money to the mother and daughter, and to buy some shops, fields and farms, so that he could live a simple life with his daughter.
After she returns to North City, she can talk to the old lady about inheriting the title.
The people who were in charge of the Xiao family took the initiative to follow the scumbag father back to Nanxi County.
When Xiao Yuanshi heard the contents of the imperial edict, he knew that the emperor was still upset about his previous actions.
He felt sad. He had used all means to climb up the ladder, but in the end he was fired by a baron without real power.
If he were to return home, what would be the use of this title? The key point was that his two sons were no longer married, and he could not have another son, so who would inherit? But no matter how embarrassed and sad he was, he did not dare to show it. He received the imperial edict respectfully and showed a grateful look.
Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were already prepared, so they set off for Northern Frontier the day after the imperial edict arrived.
Xiao Hanzheng went to meet the third prince a few days ago and returned the military token to him.
As for the military token of Prince Jin's Mansion given by Liang Mingyu, he had to go to Beijing to hand it over to the emperor.
When they set out, the soldiers in the city came to see them off reluctantly.
The old general and several other commanders also sighed.
"You are obviously a talented general, why do you insist on being a lousy prefect?"
"Wouldn't it be nice to be a first-rank general by then?"
"With your ability and merit, it is very likely that you will be awarded the title of Marquis in the future."
These people really didn't want a talented general like Xiao Hanzheng to leave. It was all in vain that they submitted so many petitions to keep him.
Moreover, Xiao Hanzheng was not only good at fighting, but he could also obtain military equipment and supplies from his superiors. The soldiers' lives were just getting better, but he was about to leave again.
Everyone is so heartbroken.
Xiao Yuanshi was sitting in the carriage at the back, and he felt even worse when he heard what these people said.
When he was still the deputy governor, these people treated him in a very indifferent manner.
When they heard that he was being conferred a title and was going back to Nanxi County, everyone looked at him with either gloating or sympathy.
But now he is trying hard to keep Xiao Hanzheng. There is no harm without comparison.
Xiao Hanzheng smiled and hugged the old general and others, "I also prefer to be a civilian, so I can only apologize!"
Everyone has their own aspirations, so the old general and others don’t want to say more.
Several people also clasped their fists, "Okay, then I wish you a safe journey!"
Along the way, Xiao Hanzheng took great care of Shi Qingluo, which left Xiao Yuanshi speechless.
When he found out that Shi Qingluo was pregnant, his complicated emotions reached their peak.
It turned out that he was going to be a grandfather, and he couldn't help but look forward to what his grandson would look like.
The more Ke Que thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, because with Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo's personalities, they would definitely not let their grandson call him grandpa.
The more he thought about it, the more regret and hatred he felt. He decided that after returning to North City, he would have someone dig up Ge Chunru's grave and leave no trace of her body.
That woman harmed him and died just like that. He still couldn't swallow this anger.
As for the fact that the deputy governor had a daughter, he didn't care at all.
For him, only sons can carry on the family line, and daughters will be married off in the future.
Because the road was paved with cement all the way, even though they slowed down their journey, it took them nearly twenty days to finally reach North City.
As soon as the team entered the city, Xiao Hanzheng heard cheers and shouts while riding on his horse.
"Lord Xiao is mighty! Princess Fubao is mighty!"
Both sides of the street were lined with people coming to greet them, each with an excited and happy smile on their face.
Xiao Hanzheng led his troops to beat back the State of Ge, forcing the overbearing State of Ge to seek peace on its own initiative, cede the occupied city, and pay a lot of compensation. This was something the people of Daliang were truly proud of.
Especially the people in the northern border who were fed up with the harassment from the Ge Kingdom, their admiration and respect for Xiao Hanzheng was like an endless torrent of water.
The blessed princess also likes and respects Shi Qingluo, the disciple of the old immortal.
When they heard that they had returned from the border, the people spontaneously came to cheer and welcome them.
Xiao Hanzheng looked at the proud smiles on the people's faces and their excited shouts, and a smile also appeared on his cold face.
He clasped his fists and greeted the people on both sides.
He was already extraordinarily handsome, and after the baptism of war, he seemed even more heroic, calm, reserved and particularly charming.
Many young women couldn't help but blush when they looked at Xiao Hanzheng.
I am particularly envious of Princess Fubao for being able to marry such a husband.
There were also many young ladies from aristocratic families sitting in the private rooms of restaurants and teahouses. Seeing the handsome and tall Xiao Hanzheng, some of them couldn't help but be attracted to him.
They also wanted to marry such a man, but unfortunately he was not polite to other women except Princess Fubao.
He also announced to the public that he would only have one wife, Princess Fubao, in the backyard, and that he would never have any other women in his life, let alone concubines.
They were so envious of Princess Fubao.
Shi Qingluo saw the people welcoming him outside through the car window, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
With this level of military merit, plus the respect of the people, it will be easier for you to work in the North City in the future.
They have paid so much and it has paid off.
She was even more proud to have such a young husband.
Xiao Yuanshi, who was in a carriage at the back, clenched his hands tightly, listening to the shouts of admiration from outside, and his emotions could not calm down for a long time.
He really picked up sesame seeds and lost the watermelon.
When they arrived at North City, Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo home, and Xiao Yuanshi was also sent back to the Deputy Governor's Mansion.
Xiao Yuanshi sat in a wheelchair and was pushed into the door by his personal attendants.
Then people from the Xiao family came to greet them.
The old lady threw herself on Xiao Yuanshi and cried, "My son, how did your legs become like this? I am so heartbroken."
The others also looked jealous, as if they were really heartbroken.
Xiao Yuanshi was a little touched at first, and he took the initiative to help the old lady up.
Then I smelled a faint scent of ginger.
The old lady's eyes were red and tears were flowing. She touched him again and kept saying that she felt sorry for him.
Xiao Yuanshi: “…” If he hadn’t smelled the ginger, he would have almost believed it.
Boss Xiao and the others also ran over, also shouting that they felt sorry for him.
Xiao Yuanshi was very annoyed when he heard this, "Don't cry, I'm not dead yet."
The old lady and others stopped crying.
Xiao Yuanshi also put away the emotion he had just felt, and said coldly, "I'll go back to the yard first, and we'll talk tomorrow if there's anything."
Then he asked his followers to push him back to his own yard, and had people stop the old lady and others who wanted to follow.
Then he heard the old lady scolding him from behind, and he rubbed his eyebrows in even more annoyance.
When I returned to the yard, I saw Liu Ru holding the child.
Seeing the mother and daughter, he was not in a good mood. Instead, he wondered why Liu Rusheng didn't give birth to a son. If it was a son, he would not only have a successor, but also someone to inherit his title in the future.
So he looked at his younger daughter with displeasure, said something perfunctorily, asked the mother and daughter to go back, and had someone push him into the room.
When Xiao Yuanshi entered the room, Tao Liu's expression dimmed.
She looked down at her well-behaved daughter and took a deep breath. This man didn't like her daughter at all.
She suddenly felt fortunate for her choice and fortunately had sent a message to Xiao Hanzheng beforehand.
For the sake of her daughter, she must move out and live alone, and let Xiao Yuanshi, this cold-hearted man, live with the Xiao family.
