Gu Jiangli couldn't help but feel her eyes redden.
She had never heard such touching words from Nan Yu before, and now that they were about to part, the reluctance and longing made her heart ache.
The baby, carried for ten months, is leaving home at such a young age.
She held Nan Yu in her arms and said softly, "Nan Yu, write home more often. When you have time, your father and I will come to the capital to see you."
"Okay, if Father and Mother come to the capital, I'll take you all around to play."
Gu Jiangli slowly released her hand.
Nan Yu's ambitions lie elsewhere; he will eventually have to leave this place.
"Go ahead, don't keep Master Song waiting too long."
Nan Yu glanced at her and Jiang Huaizhi with a deep look in his eyes, then bowed and headed out the door.
The door closed again, and Jiang Huaizhi sat down on the edge of the bed: "Jiang Li, don't worry too much, Nan Yu will be fine."
Gu Jiangli nestled in his arms and nodded gently.
She believed in Nan Yu, and she also believed in Jiang Huai.
As a father, Jiang Huaizhi is absolutely qualified. With him around, Nan Yu will definitely be safe and sound.
————
A few days later, Jiang Huaizhi successfully ascended to the throne of the city lord. The old city lord and his wife lived in seclusion in the backyard and never came out again.
At first, Jiang Huaizhi would arrange for guards to watch over their houses, but later even those guards were removed.
The old city lord probably felt ashamed to face anyone and was unwilling to come out at all.
As for the city lord's wife, her hysteria was too severe; she was constantly acting erratically. Apart from the old city lord, she didn't recognize anyone, as if she had forgotten everything from the past.
After divorcing Jiang Huaisong, Sun Chan went straight back to the Sun family. Although she successfully divorced, Gu Jiangli heard that she was not doing well after returning to the Sun family.
Sun Chan's parents disliked her, not because she was a divorced woman, but because they thought she was somewhat incompetent, had not seized the excellent opportunity to live in the city lord's mansion, and had not done anything beneficial for the Sun family.
Sun Chan had lost her former arrogance and spent her days in tears, yet she still received no pity.
After that, Gu Jiangli deliberately avoided inquiring about anything related to the Sun family.
Sun Chan has no connection with the City Lord's Mansion anymore; it's enough that we know her fate won't be good.
Despite his stubbornness, Jiang Huai still held a small funeral for Wuyou.
He didn't inform anyone else in the city, nor did he hold a banquet. He simply hung white lanterns outside the city lord's mansion and quietly held the ceremony, while also repairing a tomb for Wuyou.
Gu Jiangli knew that Jiang Huaizhi had already done everything he could to be kind and righteous.
Wuyou's cheap father didn't care about Wuyou's life or death at all.
All he cared about was himself.
After Wuyou's funeral, Gu Jiangli often heard the servants mention things about Jianghuai Pine.
They all said that Jiang Huaisong smashed things and cursed people in his own room, and that he had his servants bring his concubines to him every day, constantly saying that he was fine and capable of having children.
He also drank heavily all day long, and slept with a wine jar in his arms every night, as if this could help him forget his pain.
Some people say that Jiang Huaisong, like the old city lord's wife, suffers from hysteria, but Gu Jiangli doesn't think so.
He has a tendency to go crazy, but he doesn't have hysteria. He's just unwilling to face it and unwilling to admit defeat.
Gu Jiangli didn't want to hear any more news about Jiang Huaisong; it would only offend her ears.
So the servants were very sensible and didn't mention it in front of her.
About two months later, Jiang Huaizhi came to tell her that Jiang Huaisong had died.
According to the Jianghuai school of thought, Jianghuai Song died from drinking too much alcohol.
He doesn't eat meals every day, he just drinks alcohol. When he's drunk, he sleeps, and when he wakes up, he drinks some more.
Jiang Huaisong never intended to commit suicide, but his actions were undoubtedly courting death.
Gu Jiangli didn't say anything after she found out. She never had much sympathy for people who were courting death.
Within a year, the city lord's mansion held two funerals.
People passing by the city lord's mansion speculated about what had happened, but the servants kept quiet about it, and no information leaked out.
It wasn't until six months later, after Jiang Huaizhi had firmly secured his position as city lord, that he revealed some of the affairs of the city lord's mansion.
This included the news of the deaths of Jiang Huaisong and Wuyou.
Gu Jiangli guessed Jiang Huaizhi's reason for doing so. He thought that since the matter had been over for a long time, the people would not spend a long time discussing it if the previous events were announced now.
In addition, over the past six months, the people have become familiar with Jiang Huaizhi's presence in Qingfeng City, and any negative voices will be suppressed.
It must be said that Jiang Huai's method was very effective.
The rumors and gossip disappeared after only half a month in Qingfeng City.
People don't really care that much about trivial matters that happened a long time ago.
Just as Jiang Huaizhi promised Gu Jiangli, the City Lord's Mansion is now peaceful and tranquil, and the stable life she has always longed for has finally arrived.
The second son, Yunqing, is also growing up. Although he still cries easily, his liveliness and cheerfulness always make Gu Jiangli feel relaxed and happy.
It seems that children should be like this: bright and sunny, lively and enthusiastic, always full of inexhaustible energy, full of vitality and passion.
The only thing that gave Gu Jiangli a headache was that Yun Qing really didn't like reading.
She kept the letter of recommendation that Master Song had given them in her drawer, waiting until Yunqing reached the age that Nanyu had reached and was old enough to study at the Hundred Books Academy, so that she could take him directly to the capital.
