July is very timid, but he is always thinking about escaping. The trick he uses most often on the road is to take the opportunity to urinate and run away.
Even though I blocked her many times, she still didn't give up. Regardless of her pregnancy, she risked running into the river, trying to get rid of me by dodging.
I watched her enter the water, watched her wait nervously, and watched her splash around in the water.
I didn't save her for a long time.
I've become less and less like myself these past few months. Maybe if she dies I won't think about her anymore.
But as I saw her about to sink to the bottom of the water, my chest ached, but I still softened my heart and followed my inner thoughts to save her.
Sheng Qiyue was happy when she was rescued, but when she saw it was me, her face changed visibly and she avoided me like the plague.
I decided to use the strategy of boiling a frog in warm water to let her get used to me being around, my care, and my touch.
On the way, I hugged her when I had nothing to do. She was very resistant at first, but when she saw that I would not really do anything to her, she gradually relaxed her guard and even squinted her eyes like a kitten when she felt comfortable.
I took her to live in a wooden house on the southwest border. She was not used to the local food, so I cooked for her myself. Fortunately, I have a good understanding and am good at cooking.
The assassin said that his father was taken to the capital and beheaded. All the noble families and officials in Dongti Prefecture who were involved in the illegal salt trafficking had a good end. They were either executed immediately or their property was confiscated and they were exiled. All the members of the Lu family were killed, even the babies in their cradles were not spared.
I was very sad when I heard the news, and an overwhelming feeling of loneliness came over me. At night, I fell asleep holding July in my arms, telling myself that I was not alone, I still had July.
July can't get used to her current life. After all, it's hard to go from luxury to frugality. I don't think there's anything wrong with it. I just want to revive the family business through my own efforts and give her a rich and stable life.
As long as she has enough food and drink, she is easily satisfied.
Gradually, I discovered that July didn't really care about the fake He Wenmao. She never mentioned him in front of me, nor did she say that she missed him, let alone said that she wanted to go find him.
Occasionally she talked about leaving me, and her words revealed that she wanted to live with the child alone.
The assassin I sent to Dongti Prefecture to investigate has returned.
"Master, according to my investigation, the He Wenmao you fought was actually the Seventh Prince Jimo Yuan in disguise."
It turned out to be Jimo Yuan, so the baby in Sheng Qiyue’s belly must be a prince?
I don't like it very much.
But then I thought, July didn't want to look for Jimo Yuan, there must be a rift between them. If I could take good care of her child and let her see that the child would live a better life with me, she would definitely choose to stay.
So I started to care about the baby in her belly.
I had never cared about the child before, and the sudden change made July very alert. After she was sure that I had no intention of harming the child, she became much more relaxed in her relationship with me, and was not so resistant to some things.
If you want to revive your family business, the first thing you need to solve is the identity issue.
I collected a household sticker from the plague village, which allows me to survive as a sticker. The human skin mask cannot be used for a lifetime and is easy to be exposed. The safer way is to disfigure myself.
But Qiyue has a peerless beauty. If I become half-human, half-ghost, how can I still be a match for her? I was very hesitant.
I gave July two choices, but she didn't want to go to the neighboring country, nor did she want to be with me.
I took her away forcefully. Please forgive my selfishness. I liked her too much and was too lonely.
I took her to settle down at the border of Xirong.
Five months later, she gave birth to two children safely.
I wiped her body clean and named the two children Jiuqing and Yunyao.
July didn't object, and I curled my lips. Does this mean that she has gradually accepted me?
I hired a wet nurse to take care of my two children. I was busy outside during the day, and only at night was my most leisurely and relaxing time.
The nanny thought we were a normal couple and taught the two children to call me dad. July just smiled and didn't say anything. I was very happy and treated the two children as my own.
The Xirong people were not as well educated as the Da Mo people, and there were very few of them who were well-versed in history books and military strategies. They mostly relied on cleverness and brute force to fight.
I was promoted faster than I expected. After the chaos broke out on the border, I gave advice to the border generals and made many military achievements. The general promoted me to commander.
Many people were dissatisfied with the general's decision, so they organized a competition in an attempt to crush me in martial arts.
I knocked them down one by one.
Fewer people talked about me. Some people wanted to introduce their sisters to me, but I refused, saying that I already had a wife and children.
I have my own career outside and a lovely wife and young son waiting for me at home. I am very satisfied with my current life.
But soon this peace was broken.
The Western Rong captured three cities of Dame, and Jimo Yuan was sent to the border to fight us.
July seemed to want to leave, but I didn't allow her. I took advantage of her distraction to do what I had wanted to do for a long time and told her that I was her man now.
Shen Shaoyan sneaked into the house under the cover of night, and I was shocked to find that the biological fathers of the two children were not the same person, but one was Jimo Yuan's and the other was Shen Shaoyan's.
But Shen Shaoyan obviously didn't know.
He was in a dejected mood. Considering that he was Yun Yao's biological father, I wanted to let him go, but he didn't know what was good for him. I used a flare to call the Xirong people over and asked them to help me deal with him.
He was finally rescued by Jimo Yuan. I felt very sorry. If he had died, I would have one less competitor.
Perhaps the price of coming to Xirong was too high, or perhaps the situation on the battlefield was serious, so they were holding back on a big move.
