"My Lord, are you okay?" A hoarse but gentle female voice sounded. It was Mrs. An, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
The Marquis's wife saw the man next to the Marquis at a glance. When her eyes met the man's face that looked so much like her own, her heart suddenly tightened.
Mother and son are connected by heart, and she saw a familiar expression and demeanor on the strange man's face.
That expression and demeanor belonged exclusively to her son, that was how he looked when he was wronged.
Her son's aggrieved expression appeared in her dreams countless times.
Every time she woke from her dream, her tears wet her cheeks and pillow.
At this moment, a very strong thought surged in her heart.
"Little boy..." She gently called her son's nickname.
Lu Chengye pursed his lips like a child and almost burst into tears.
However, he is now nearly 40 years old, and no matter how excited he is, he can control his emotions and not lose his composure.
With tears in his eyes, he walked towards his mother step by step, choking with sobs, "Mother, I am a little boy, and I am back."
The Marquis's eyes were red and there were faint wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, but her eyes were still as beautiful and bright as when she was young. She touched Lu Chengye's face with trembling hands, and her rough fingertips stroked his facial features and cheeks.
His eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of the Marquis' wife, but his nose and mouth are more like those of his father, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. His nose is high and straight, and his mouth is well-defined, revealing his resolve.
When the Marquis's wife saw the small, light red scar behind his ear, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"You are the little boy, my child, you are finally back!"
The scar was left when the child was four years old and he ran away to climb a rockery. He lost his balance and fell down, leaving the scratch on a sharp stone on the ground.
Later, the wound healed, but the scar could not be removed.
After seeing the scar, Mrs. Hou was completely certain that the man in front of her was her son who had been missing for thirty years.
It was not until his wife hugged her son and burst into tears that the Duke of Zhongyong recovered from the shock that was as strong as a tsunami.
At this moment, his heart was filled with great joy.
He brought his wife back to Beijing this time just to find his son. Unexpectedly, he found his son on the first day of arriving in Beijing.
His son is as handsome as his wife, and as healthy, kind and brave as him!
As expected, he is his and his wife’s child, so awesome!
The face of the Loyal and Brave Marquis was covered with tears, but his mouth was wide open and he laughed.
He strode forward and held his wife and son in his arms.
The family is finally reunited.
The ghost doctor wiped away his tears with relief, and used his tears to wipe away the brown pockmarks on his face.
Then he staggered towards the family of Marquis Zhongyong.
Seeing a stranger approaching, the soldier raised his sword to stop him.
The ghost doctor said, "I know them."
The Marquis's wife turned around to wipe her tears and saw the ghost doctor standing straight with his head held high in front of the tall soldier.
The Marquis’s wife was delighted, “It’s Qingfeng!”
"Hehe!" The ghost doctor grinned at her, revealing two rows of small white teeth.
Qingfeng was the first group of children she rescued after moving to the border. These children were all orphans, with no one to raise them or discipline them. They either stole things and grew up to be gangsters, or fended for themselves and died in the wilderness.
The Marquis's wife built a Salesian's House to raise these orphans, providing them with food and shelter, and teaching them basic life skills.
Let them be able to find a proper job when they grow up and earn a living with their own strength and ability.
The name Qingfeng was also given by the Marquis' wife.
Qingfeng showed extraordinary medical talent since he was a child. He first studied medicine under the military and then went out to learn from doctors.
Later, by chance, he became a ghost doctor and made a name for himself in the world.
He saved Lu Chengye because he found that the man lying unconscious in the grass looked very much like the Marquis's wife.
Along the way, he was extremely cautious and used poison without mercy regardless of whether the visitor was good or evil, because he did not want to take any risks. He had to personally escort the marquis's son back to the capital safely and not let him suffer any harm.
Several gangsters hid in the crowd.
One of them had a big bump on his head, which was caused by the poison dart thrown by the ghost doctor a few days ago.
"Have we completed our mission?"
A man with a huge red sore on his face pointed at his own face and said, "It's done. Otherwise, what would the injuries we suffered along the way mean?"
"Let's go collect the reward. The cold-faced swordsman said the An family's reward is worth 10,000 taels."
The "cold-faced swordsman" is the housekeeper of the Luzhou An family.
"I'm exhausted. Can you ask the Cold-Faced Swordsman to find us a job in the An family?"
Several people from the martial arts world successfully completed their mission. They turned around and left the capital, disappearing outside the city gate.
…
A gorgeous carriage stopped outside the crowd. Su Wanti looked over the crowd and saw the Zhongyong Marquis and his family hugging each other.
Shang Xingjian gently hugged her shoulders and said, "We are late."
Su Wanti smiled and said, "It's not too late, we're here just in time."
She took Shang Xingjian's hand, got off the carriage, walked through the crowd, and headed towards her family.
Minister An's carriage also arrived. Minister An first curled up in the carriage, biting his sleeves and crying. After crying enough, he got off the carriage with a serious face and walked to his sister whom he had not seen for decades.
…
The one who drove the car and hit the pedestrians was the second prince who had been demoted to a commoner.
Today is the day he leaves the capital and sets off for Cangshui County.
The second prince was filled with resentment, and to vent his anger, he drove his carriage and deliberately rammed into innocent people.
