Chapter 371: An Old Acquaintance
Just when Lu Xingwan was running around in the yard, trying to find some "fun" for himself.
A boy who followed Zhao finally pointed at Lu Xingwan and said in a baby voice: "Sister."
Zhao lowered her head and saw that he was staring at Lu Xingwan and calling her sister. She couldn't help laughing: "Wenhan, that's my little sister!"
After saying this, he turned around and looked at Song Qingyan inquiringly, but he was still not sure and suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Sister Song, I don't think Wanwan is that old, how could she pass away so early?"
Song Qingyan nodded: "She is a precocious one, it's not even ten months yet!"
As if he heard the two people praising him, Lu Xingwan didn't care about playing anything else, he opened his arms and ran towards Song Qingyan, "Mother."
"He can even call people!" Mrs. Zhao was even more surprised. "Our child is two years old now, and he just started talking."
Lu Xingwan raised his head proudly.
[That’s right, this princess is a fairy, and I have spiritual power. ]
[If I were the same as you ordinary people, wouldn't my cultivation of several hundred years have been wasted?]
Thinking of this, Lu Xingwan actually reached out and pulled the hand of the little boy named Wenhan.
【Come on, sister will take you to play. 】
Wenhan also twisted his body happily and spoke again: "Sister."
Zhao couldn't help but hold her forehead.
Song Qingyan also smiled and said, "Little kid, do whatever you like!"
The two chubby little bodies were laughing and playing in the yard, making the whole yard lively.
Xia Ning, the Emperor of Great Chu, who had already taken his seat, also came over and said, "Look, the two children are having a great time playing together. How about we arrange a marriage for them?"
Lu Xingwan: Since you two can't get married, you come to harm me, right?
Xia Ning's words stunned the Great Chu Emperor. Perhaps because he knew that Wanwan was a fairy, he never dared to imagine what she would look like after getting married.
He even wondered if this little girl would still stay by his side if she awakened all her spiritual powers.
Then he shook his head: "That won't work. Don't underestimate my little girl. She is a very opinionated person."
At this point, the Great Chu Emperor leaned over to Xia Ning and whispered, "If they knew that I had arranged a marriage for her, they would tear down the roof of my Longsheng Palace."
Lu Xingwan was protected by Jinyu and Pei Chuyan, and had a great time playing for the whole afternoon.
But this afternoon, Zhao was very anxious. The more she looked at Song Qingyan, the more familiar she felt, but she didn't dare to think about it that way.
Even Lu Xingwan, who was resting in Song Qingyan's arms after playing, noticed it.
[Mother, you wouldn't have accidentally killed any of Zhao's relatives on the battlefield before! ]
[Look at the way she looks at you, one look after another, I'm afraid she must be seeing through you.]
How could Song Qingyan not know?
The look that Zhao gave her really made her feel uneasy.
But this was someone else's home after all, and the guest should follow the host's wishes. She couldn't just stand up and say: "Stop looking!"
Xia Ning seemed to realize that Zhao was different, so he pulled her hand and asked, "Madam?"
Zhao was startled by Xia Ning's sudden action, then smiled awkwardly and looked at Xia Ning: "Master, what's wrong? I didn't hear it."
Xia Ning finally realized that Zhao was really worried, so she squatted in front of her and said, "Madam, if you have anything to say, just say it. Lu Ao is my best friend in Beijing and he will not blame you."
Zhao stared at Xia Ning in front of him for a moment, then finally laughed: "Actually..."
Having said this, Zhao looked at Song Qingyan beside him again.
"I just think that Sister Song looks a lot like my lifesaver," Zhao sighed, "but my lifesaver is far away in the Western Camp, so I guess they just look alike."
【Western Camp?】
[Mother, are you afraid that the savior she mentioned is really you? ]
After hearing what she said, everyone except Zhao almost understood in their hearts that the benefactor Zhao was talking about must be Song Qingyan without a doubt.
After all, how many women are there in the Western Camp?
However, Xia Ning had never heard Zhao talk about such things.
When the Great Chu Emperor heard that it was related to Song Qingyan, he immediately became interested: "I wonder if my sister-in-law can tell us about it?"
Zhao remained silent for a long time, then she sighed and began to narrate her story in the Western Camp.
"My mother's family was originally a merchant family. Since there were no sons in the family, my father wanted to train me to inherit the family business."
[So advanced! In this era, many people would rather adopt a foreign child than give it to their own daughter.]
[It seems that Mr. Zhao is really a clear-headed person. ]
"So I went to many places with my father in the early years, and it was inevitable that I had to travel back and forth across the borders of several countries."
"It was just that one time..." Zhao Sulian fell into memory, "It seemed that a prince of Yuefeng Kingdom fought against a deputy general of the Western Camp. The prince was incompetent and was no match for the deputy general. He was unwilling to suffer a loss, so he simply captured a group of civilians just to make the deputy general beg for mercy."
Zhao glanced at Song Qingyan when she said this: "Come to think of it, the deputy general's surname is also Song. I heard people call her Deputy General Song."
"Lieutenant General Song will naturally not give in, but he will not let us get hurt easily."
"I don't know the details," Zhao smiled at this, "Anyway, we were rescued and the prince lost."
The Great Chu Emperor looked at Song Qingyan: "Is it Helian Hengxin?"
Song Qingyan nodded: "Yes."
Now that things have come to this, several people know that the identities of the Emperor of Great Chu and Song Qingyan can no longer be kept secret.
So the Emperor of Great Chu simply stopped hiding it.
[Uncle Xia had good intentions and was afraid of scaring his wife, but now, his wife has recognized her mother herself.]
[But looking at my mother's appearance, I just don't recognize this Zhao.]
【Alas! It was Zhao who made the mistake! 】
Hearing the conversation between the Emperor of Great Chu and Song Qingyan, Zhao stood up suddenly and almost fell down with Xia Ning who was squatting beside her.
"So... Sister Song... is really my benefactor?" When Zhao said this, her eyes began to turn red and she was almost about to cry.
Seeing this, Song Qingyan quickly put Lu Xingwan aside, stood up and held Zhao's hand: "I think Sister Zhao is talking about me, but Sister, don't worry about me so much."
"Since we are soldiers of the Great Chu, we should fight for the people of the Great Chu. If we can't even save women and children like you, then we have eaten the military pay in vain."
Song Qingyan's words sounded somewhat passionate, which made the Emperor of Great Chu look at her with even more admiration.
