Bei Xingjun noticed Bei Yutang's gaze, turned his head to look at them, and saw the strange woman staring at him without blinking, tears silently sliding down her eyes.
He could feel the woman's sadness, a sorrow that came from within.
"What's the matter?" Bei Xingjun stopped.
Bei Yutang shed tears silently and shook her head at him.
Bei Xingjun looked at the woman in front of him strangely, and when he saw that she was fine, he turned and left.
"General, how are you?" Xiao Moer suddenly asked.
Bei Xingjun looked at Xiao Mo'er, and at the dough-like man, a soft light in his eyes, "I'm fine."
"If you have any difficulties, please tell me."
Xiao Moer shook his head.
Seeing that they were really fine, Bei Xingjun turned around and left. Before entering the mansion, he subconsciously looked at Bei Yutang.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little sad when he saw the strange woman crying in front of him.
Bei Yutang watched him leave, and before the guards drove him away, she took Xiao Moer back.
Xiao Moer felt very strange about his mother's behavior, but he said nothing.
After returning to the inn, Daixiang and Xue Qian clearly felt Bei Yutang's depressed mood.
After Bei Yutang entered the house, Dai Xiang pulled Xiao Mo'er and asked, "Mo'er, did you encounter any problems outside?"
Xiao Moer shook his head, "No."
Xue Qian and Dai Xiang exchanged a glance, both feeling very strange. Everything was fine when they left, but in the blink of an eye, it had become like this.
"What kind of official position is Marquis Zhongwu? Is it a high-ranking one?" Xiao Moer suddenly asked.
"Marquis Zhongwu, but he is a marquis, so naturally his official position is high." Dai Xiang said as if she understood.
A passing waiter happened to hear this and stopped to explain, "Young Master, the Marquis of Zhongwu is a great general of our Southern Tang State. He is a formidable commander of troops in battle. With him around, our Southern Tang State has nothing to fear from barbarians or the Shu State."
"So powerful." Xiao Moer was surprised.
"Yes. Not only is the general formidable, but his son, General Bei, is also formidable. General Bei is currently battling the southern barbarians, receiving repeated victories. It won't be long before he returns to the capital."
Xiao Moer listened attentively, and the guy became more excited as he spoke.
"Are all the Marquises of Zhongwu generals?" Xiao Moer asked indirectly.
The waiter sighed, "Speaking of this, it's truly heartbreaking. The Zhongwu Marquis' family isn't just famous for General Bei and General Bei Xiao. General Bei Xiao also has a stunningly beautiful sister, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She's not only a talented woman, but also the most beautiful woman in our Southern Tang Kingdom."
"She married the King of Jin, but died within three years. What a pity."
The waiter sighed again.
Xiao Moer seemed to be interested, "How did that beauty die?"
"She died of illness. After her death, the Prince of Jin lost his appetite and was ill for three months before recovering. What a cruel fate."
"Did Prince Jin remarry?" Dai Xiang asked curiously.
"No. The princess passed away two years ago, and the Prince of Jin has yet to remarry. However, I heard that the Prince of Jin is very close to Gu Pianran, the eldest daughter of the Gu Trading Company, and seems to be interested in marrying her. Speaking of this Gu, she is also a remarkable woman. The Gu family was originally a declining merchant family, but under her leadership, they became one of the top merchants in the Southern Tang Kingdom. Isn't that impressive?"
Gu Pianran, Gu family...
Xiao Moer's eyes were full of thought.
