Mu Feng listened to Qin Luo's thoughts, and was quite shocked.
He had hardly ever seen any women, except for the Lady of the Marquis and the maids in the Marquis's mansion.
When the maids reached a certain age, they would ask their masters to arrange marriages for them.
Therefore, he always thought that girls all wanted to live a life like that of a marquis's wife.
She was expected to be a devoted wife and mother, managing the household affairs, but Qin Luo's ideas were unexpectedly unique.
He suddenly realized that it's fine for a woman not to get married; as long as she's happy...
Mu Feng looked at her with exceptional seriousness.
"Luo Luo, your uncle supports you! Go wherever you want to play, there's plenty of money! Your uncle's money is all deposited in the bank!"
Seeing that he was serious, Qin Luo quickly explained her previous act of being greedy for money.
"Uncle, I was just joking when I asked you if your monthly salary was high. I have my own money!"
Mu Feng, realizing she had misunderstood him and thought he was greedy, immediately explained.
“I know. I originally planned to buy you a courtyard and some servants to take care of you. After I achieved more merits and got promoted, I would adopt you as my daughter and make you a daughter of an official. But now that I think about it, that would be like putting you in a cage. It's better to let you spread your wings and fly high!”
Qin Luo was deeply moved upon hearing this.
He knew that Mu Feng had been good to her and cared for her in every way during this time!
But I also thought that was the only way.
She never imagined Mu Feng would think so much for her, she joked, her eyes reddening.
"Uncle, you're only twenty-six, and I'm already thirteen. How can you be my father!"
Mu Feng blushed with embarrassment.
"Those of us who have been trained since childhood have very short lifespans; we're usually past our forties!"
Qin Luo was quite surprised to hear this. She knew that being a personal bodyguard in ancient times was tough, but she didn't expect them to have such short lifespans...
Then I heard Mu Feng sigh.
"We were all forced into this situation, and what we did was very dangerous. I never intended to harm any young woman. I just wanted to acknowledge you as my wife, so that I would have a daughter of my own, and someone would grieve for me when I die..."
Although Qin Luo felt heartbroken upon hearing this, she did not immediately agree.
“Uncle, I was raised by my uncle and aunt. To acknowledge him as my father, I need their consent; I can't make that decision on my own!”
“I know, I wanted to wait until my rank was higher before proposing it, but I didn’t want to wrong you now. Even if I were to adopt a daughter, I would need the Marquis’s approval, so you don’t need to worry about it now!”
Qin Luo hadn't expected the family reunion to be so complicated, and then she thought of Mu Xiao.
"Ah! Will Uncle Mu Xiao be punished for recognizing Grandpa You as his father?"
"No, Uncle You saved the young marquis's life. For that alone, he won't be punished!"
Qin Luo was relieved to hear this, and the two chatted for a long time afterward.
They then returned to their respective resting places.
The Marquis mentioned by the two
I was just woken up by a soldier who brought me a letter, saying it was an urgent message from Mu Xiao.
On his way back to the capital, Mu Xiao saw a post station where messages could be delivered.
He paid a large sum of money to have this letter delivered.
Thanks to the package Dr. You gave him, Mu Xiao had originally thought it contained only pills.
To everyone's surprise, there were not only pills inside, but also fifty taels of silver notes.
Mu Xiao was both touched and heartbroken when she saw it.
How many years of medical treatment would it take his father, that little old man, to earn that fifty taels?
The messenger immediately recognized the insignia of the Marquis of Anding's residence.
They delivered it day and night, at top speed.
Upon hearing Mu Xiao's name, Marquis An Ding and his wife immediately got up and ran to the study.
The soldier handed over the letter, and Marquis An Ding immediately tore it open and began to read.
Lady Hou stood behind him, watching him speak slowly and deliberately.
Marquis An Ding looked at the letter describing the assassination attempt.
He himself was seriously injured, Mu Feng's fate was unknown, and all the other brothers had been killed in action...
Mu Xiuyu was poisoned, then the two were rescued, and he ended up recognizing a father figure.
Mu Xiuyu recognized many relatives and even migrated with them.
Then they suspected that someone in the palace was colluding with bandits and deliberately trying to frame the crown prince.
The matter of Grayfire Village and the asbestos mine, except for the fact that Lord Kang was omitted...
Everything else was written, filling more than ten pages.
The Marquis of Anding and his wife were deeply moved by what they saw. The Marquis's wife clasped her hands together in gratitude to all the gods and Buddhas in the sky.
"Thank God, my Yu'er has been saved by a benefactor! That Doctor You is truly a miracle doctor! And that young girl is also very kind; we must repay her properly when we have the chance!"
Therefore, I recalled what was written in the letter.
"My lord, didn't the letter say that her brothers are all in our Liyou City? You'll have to take good care of them in the future!"
When the Marquis of Anding learned that his son was safe, he was overjoyed.
"Yes, yes, Madam is right. Mu Feng said his elder brother's name is Qin Yunhe, and that many children from his village are with us. I've noted them all down!"
He helped his wife to sit down at the table.
"I'll send someone to the city gate first thing tomorrow morning to check on them and tell them about the disaster in their hometown. If they are of good character, I'll definitely cultivate them well in the future!"
Seeing the pen and ink on the table, he pondered for a moment.
"But the most important thing right now is to write to Yu'er and Mother, telling them to be more wary of outsiders. Until the mastermind is found, they are not safe!"
Lady Hou sighed upon hearing this.
"Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been bloody. Our Yu'er has been implicated because of us. If he had been born into an ordinary family, he wouldn't have suffered such a calamity!"
Marquis An Ding put his arm around her shoulder
"It's all my fault for not protecting our Yu'er. But rest assured, my wife, I will never let anything happen to Yu'er again!"
These words seemed to make a promise; the couple embraced for a long time before going back to their room to sleep…
Early the next morning
Qin Yunhe and Jin Bao, who were guarding the city gate, were summoned to the resting area by Chen Song.
