Chapter 571 Except You, I Have No Regrets
Lu Qiniang lowered her head, tears falling silently on the ground. She bit her lips tightly and said nothing.
She thought she couldn't keep Xiaoman.
I just hope that King Yan can succeed.
But, when will that happen?
She didn't dare to think about it at all, and couldn't stop crying.
When we are alive, there are some things that we dare not even think about, which will make us lose the courage to move forward.
Zhang Heyao thought he had spoken too harshly, and seeing her crying silently, he felt an unbearable bitterness in his heart.
"Abandoned mother, don't cry. It's me. I was wrong." He said with difficulty.
Lu Qiniang stared at him blankly.
The sun rises from the west?
Did Zhang Heyao apologize to her?
When has he ever said a soft word in his life?
Not only did he not say soft words in front of himself, he also never said a soft word in front of his parents.
A stubborn bone.
"Don't stay in the northwest. You're alone here." Zhang Heyao said, "Come back to Beijing with me. I will take care of you and your daughters from now on."
He could even let her raise chickens and pigs, or anything else she wanted.
As long as she doesn't support a man.
Lu Qiniang shook her head: "Brother, I won't leave. The Northwest is the Northwest where Xiao Yan has been. Here, many people are my support."
After a pause, she continued, "You have no idea how shocked I was when I first came here. I think if I can be remembered by so many people in this life, I will smile even when I die."
"He's dead, and you have to live your life. You want to stay in the windy and dusty northwest?" Zhang Heyao said stiffly, "Don't you think about your children? Isn't your eldest daughter staying in the capital? And Xiaoman, are you going to be separated from your own flesh and blood?"
"I--" Lu Qiniang fell silent.
She knew Zhang Heyao's character.
Never give up until you achieve your goal.
So after a while, she said, "I'll stay in the northwest for a few years. Brother, you don't have to persuade me. I can't let Xiao Yan go. I don't think he's dead, he's just too tired and needs a rest."
"You are deceiving yourself!"
"Then let me continue to lie to myself. Xiao Yan and I have only been husband and wife for a few years?" Lu Qinniang's eyes were red. "I haven't had enough of him yet. Maybe in a few years, I will feel less moved and then I can move on. We'll talk about it then——"
"Then, come back to Beijing with me. I'll give you a few years to let things fade away."
"I'm not going back. I want to see the places he's been to. I don't want to go back to Beijing. Walking on the familiar streets, I'll miss him. Seeing the shops we've been to, I'll miss him too. He's everywhere..."
What Lu Qiniang said did not seem to be false.
Because she had actually experienced this feeling many years ago.
Only she knew how much of a blow Zhang Heyao's death had been to her.
"I can wait for you for another month." Zhang Heyao said, "The emperor and I have asked for two months' leave, so I can't stay here forever. Please think about it carefully..."
"Don't think about it, I'm not going back."
"Then, spend some time with Xiaoman and let him know that I didn't lie to him. He does have a mother."
Lu Qiniang felt bitter and unhappy.
She knew that Zhang Heyao mentioned Xiaoman deliberately, hoping that she would change her mind.
She really couldn't bear to do that.
But Xiaoman, it really doesn’t work.
You wait a little longer, parents.
Your parents are sorry for you and will definitely make it up to you in the future.
"Abandoned Mother, I came here this time just to take you away. When I asked for leave from the Emperor, he asked me why I came to the Northwest."
Lu Qiniang became nervous when she heard the word "Emperor".
She really didn't know what that madman could do.
He held a large-scale beauty pageant, increased taxes, and ordered all regions to present precious treasures...
In less than two years, complaints were rampant.
Think about the late emperor, who worked hard for decades and made every effort to govern the country. Although he didn’t do everything perfectly, he never dared to relax for a moment, hoping that the people could live a good life.
As a result, everything changed in such a short time.
I don’t know what it will become in the future.
"I've told the Emperor I'm coming to find you, hoping you'll change your mind."
Lu Qinniang's heart tightened when she heard this.
"Don't worry." Zhang Heyao smiled bitterly. "Abandoned mother, it's been fifteen years since I left home. I've experienced life and death, struggled, made mistakes, and failed you."
"What's the point of saying that?"
"I just wanted to make amends with you, not hurt you. So when the Emperor told me he wanted to arrange a marriage between us, I refused. I hope that you choose to be with me, rather than being forced into it, although it's true that I have had despicable thoughts about that."
"I'm with you?" Lu Qiniang was shocked. "Is it that the emperor doesn't know that you're married, or has he forgotten it yourself?"
Can't these two people together come up with a bottom line?
"You wouldn't abandon your princess, would you?" Lu Qiniang said, "You two were married in a formal ceremony. You even brought her to meet your parents and entered her into the family tree."
"I will take good care of her."
"You said the same thing to me back then, didn't you? But that was still the same as abandoning me after having sex with me. How many times do you want to do this?" Lu Qin's mother said, "Brother, I'm very upset today and I really don't want to argue with you. Can you please be more normal?"
"If wanting to be with you is abnormal, then I will never be normal in my life."
Lu Qi Niang: "...Forget it, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to go see Xiao Man."
As she spoke she stood up.
Zhang Heyao grabbed her sleeve and said, "Abandoned Mother, I'm very tired these years. I haven't had a good life these years. Give me some time, and I'll tell you everything that happened back then. Maybe you can understand why I became like this."
"Just say it, don't pull it." Lu Qiniang pulled the sleeve back from his hand.
Why is it so tiring to talk to Zhang Heyao?
I really miss Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan didn't have so much nonsense.
Most of the time, he would just quietly accompany her, listening to her chatter, and occasionally responding with a smile and nod.
I don’t know how the King of Yan is preparing.
Zhang Heyao didn't care about her attitude and told her about how he had been treated harshly by the Zhenbei Palace, how his military merits had been robbed, and how he had narrowly escaped death.
When Lu Qiniang heard it for the first time, she was also shocked.
It turns out that the liquidation of the Zhenbei Palace was not unfair at all.
She had previously thought that Song Ming was the only one who was arrogant and domineering.
It turns out that the upper beam is crooked and the lower beam is crooked.
"You think I'm too cold-hearted for not saving them. But you say, if I save them, what will become of my comrades who once fought alongside me and died tragically? Will it be their own bad luck?"
Zhang Heyao became a little emotional.
"Yes, I am eager for fame and fortune, and I will do anything to climb up. But Qi Niang, I am tired of living like an ant, like a worthless grass."
He enjoys all the fame, wealth and honor he has now, as well as the admiration and respect that comes with it.
"Except for you, I have never regretted anything I have done in my life!"
