Chapter 372 Lifesaver
Zhao fell to his knees with a plop.
No matter how hard Ren Xia Ning and Song Qingyan tried to pull him up, they couldn't. They just looked at Song Qingyan in front of them with tears in their eyes: "Thank you, Deputy General Song, for saving me."
Song Qingyan was busy trying to pull her, and for a moment she was really at a loss.
Wenhan, who was standing next to him, suddenly burst into tears.
Everyone looked over there, even Lu Xingwan looked over there.
Xia Ning hurried forward and picked up Wenhan.
Song Qingyan also took the opportunity to pull Zhao up: "Sister Zhao, look, the child is scared by you."
Zhao patted herself and wiped her tears: "Yes, yes, I lost my composure."
She quickly turned around and held Wenhan in her arms, coaxing him softly, "Wenhan, don't cry. Mother is fine."
Instead, Lu Xingwan climbed onto the chair where Song Qingyan had just sat and started eating leisurely.
[This child in this world is not scared at all, and I thought he was brave! ]
[But he may be crying because he feels sorry for his mother. He is a filial child.]
【Eh? I learned that.】
[Next time someone goes against my mother in the palace, I will sit beside them and cry, and my father will reprimand her.]
[However, in the current harem, no one dares to bully mother. Mother has finally become the ruler of the harem. ]
After this little episode, the atmosphere became more harmonious when the group started talking again.
Fortunately, Zhao knew little about what was happening in the capital. If she did, with her intelligence, she would definitely be able to identify the identity of the Emperor of Great Chu.
"When we were rescued, people around us said that the one who rescued us was a female general!" Zhao smiled and held Wenhan in her arms, talking about the past. "I didn't believe it at the time, but I didn't expect it was really a female general."
Speaking of this, Zhao felt emotional.
If Song Qingyan were a man, she would definitely be able to make great achievements on the frontier, but she is a woman and she still has to get married and have children in the end.
This is the woman's home.
Just like myself, it is the same. With my talent for business, I will definitely be able to make a name for myself.
It's a pity that my daughter has to get married after all.
Fortunately, Xia Ning was a reasonable person and allowed himself to run a few shops outside. Now he is quite famous in Baoning County.
As if she had seen through what Zhao was thinking, Song Qingyan said, "Since Sister Zhao is good at business, she should go out and have some fun."
Then he turned to look at Xia Ning who was standing beside him: "Master Xia, please don't delay my sister Zhao."
Before Xia Ning could even speak, Zhao waved her hands and said, "No, no, it's just that I'm old and don't have the energy to fight anymore."
"I think Sister Zhao can do it."
From her eyes, Song Qingyan saw the spirit of not wanting to admit defeat.
Just like myself, even though I am trapped in the deep palace now, I have never stopped thinking about going to the battlefield to fight.
[My mother is so cool! Women should fight for themselves! ]
【Why can men build careers outside, while women should stay at home to take care of their husbands and children?】
[Anyway, the maids and old women are taking care of all the household affairs, so why don't we all go and take a look together?]
After hearing what Song Qingyan said, Zhao didn't say anything.
The Great Chu Emperor saw this as a breakthrough, and he also spoke up: "Brother Ning, if my sister-in-law can think this way, as your younger brother, I am willing to lend a helping hand."
As long as there is a chance, he would naturally be willing to let Xia Ning return to live in the capital.
It was not only to keep Xia Ning by his side, nor was it only for the vacant official position. More importantly, Xia Ning's return to Beijing proved that the Xia family had stood up in the capital with dignity.
"The child has grown up," Song Qingyan continued, seeing that the couple were hesitant, "after all, it's the capital..."
Having said this, Song Qingyan did not continue to say the rest.
She wasn't sure whether Sister Zhao knew about the Xia family's affairs, so she didn't dare to reveal any of it in front of her.
[It turns out that Master Xia doesn't want to return to the capital, but he has some concerns! ]
【Looking at his determined look that day, I thought he had gotten used to life in Baoning County and didn't want to leave! 】
【It turns out that all I need is a reason. 】
Zhao shook Xia Ning's hand and said, "Brother Ning, we are here in Baoning County. Now I have you and my child. I am very content."
Xia Ning looked back at Zhao, his eyes filled with emotion.
She has always been like this, always considering things from her own perspective.
But Song Qingyan is right. Now that the children are grown up, they can receive better education and a better environment by going to Beijing.
It's not that I don't want to go to the capital.
But, I'm a little scared.
After all, the incident at the Xia family happened in the capital.
He had been living in Baoning County for many years before he decided to govern the place properly. But if he went back...
After a long silence, Xia Ning kept stroking Zhao's palm, and finally raised his head: "We husband and wife will discuss it again."
"Okay." Upon hearing this, the Emperor of Chu clapped his hands happily.
As long as Xia Ning is willing to return to the capital, he can wait.
This meal made everyone feel much happier.
Lu Xingwan stared at the cake in front of him and took several bites.
[Wow, mother, this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is so delicious, even better than the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the Royal Grandmother's palace! ]
Seeing Lu Xingwan eating enthusiastically, Zhao smiled and said, "I didn't expect Wanwan to like this sweet-scented osmanthus cake."
He turned around and told the maid behind him to wrap it up a little more.
"I made this. I wanted to let you guys try it, but I forgot to take it away. I'm so sorry." Zhao's tone was always gentle.
Song Qingyan smiled and waved her hands: "It seems that Wanwan likes to eat, sister is a good cook!"
Song Qingyan seemed a little disappointed when she said this: "It's not like me. These hands can't do anything."
[Mother is very self-aware! Her embroidery skills are not that good, and her cooking skills are average.]
[But my mother! Can lead troops to fight! Whose mother in this world can lead troops to fight? Wanwan!]
[Other people’s mothers don’t know how to do this! ]
Listening to Lu Xingwan's lovely voice, Song Qingyan reached out and touched her head, smiling with relief.
This daughter was not raised in vain.
Now that she was familiar with them, Zhao was no longer so polite: "If Miss Song could lead troops in battle and cook in the kitchen, wouldn't it leave women like us with no way to survive?"
"Sister Song is better than most people in terms of leading troops alone."
"I think Mr. Lu also appreciates this aspect of Sister Song."
Seeing that he was suddenly named, the Great Chu Emperor raised his head and looked at Zhao, smiling and said, "Yes, Qingyan is an extremely outstanding woman."
After dinner, the two men naturally gathered together to talk.
Song Qingyan was pulled aside by Zhao, who said some words of thanks before letting her go.
