Dabao: "I made it, I made it, my master."
"That's good." After saying that, she found a comfortable position in Shen Liao's arms and fell asleep.
Shen Liao looked down at her sleeping face and gently placed a kiss on her head.
Then he fell into a deep sleep while holding the person in his arms.
That night, three men in the capital had similar dreams.
They stood in a fog and could not see the way forward.
Suddenly, two little cubs with dragon heads, deer antlers, lion eyes, elk bodies and dragon scales ran towards them.
They are small, stepping on auspicious clouds and breaking through the fog.
It looked exactly like the auspicious Qilin described in ancient books.
“Daddy——”
“Daddy——”
“Daddy——”
Three voices sounded at the same time, and after breaking through the fog, they discovered that there was a little Suzaku following behind the two little Qilins.
The Vermilion Bird, with its bright and colorful feathers and its baby voice howling towards the sky, was so adorable that it made everyone fall in love with it.
After they all shouted "Daddy" together, they all ran towards Chen Liao.
They surrounded him and kept shouting "Daddy, Daddy".
Shen Liao was not afraid at all of them surrounding him, and the childish calls of "Daddy" softened his heart.
It was as if he was born to be close to them.
The two father and son behind him were stunned. They were the most noble father and son in the world. Why didn't he come for them but for Shen Liao?
"Who are you? Why are you calling me daddy?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the two little Qilins and a little Suzaku in front of him turned into three fat babies.
From their clothes, we can tell that they are two men and one woman.
Shen Liao subconsciously wanted to hug them, but as soon as he did, they flew away again.
The three people subconsciously wanted to chase after him, but as they were chasing, the scene around them suddenly changed.
The tall trees that were towering into the sky just now disappeared in an instant, and the surroundings were empty and endless.
There was clear lake water under their feet. They stepped on the water and could see their own reflections when they looked down.
"It's you." Suddenly an old voice sounded, "Why are you here?"
A few people turned around and saw an old man wearing a Taoist robe and holding a whisk in his hand, who looked very immortal.
"Old man, where is this? Why are we here? Are you..."
"I am the nameless old man who guards the divine beast in the Xuankong Mirror. You have mistakenly entered my Xuankong Mirror. I think it is because my Xuankong Mirror will soon have a cub reincarnated to protect the common people in the lower world."
"And you..." He pointed his finger at Shen Liao, "are the father they chose."
After saying this, he looked at the two people beside him and said, "You are the current monarch and future monarch of that land. That's why you both entered this Xuankong Mirror on New Year's Eve."
The emperor has always been superstitious, and now his eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Divine beast? Auspicious sign?"
"It can be said that they will be capable ministers and generals rarely seen in Daqi for a hundred years. They will protect Daqi's country. Remember, they must be treated well."
Only then did Shen Liao realize that this might be the child in his wife's belly.
"But my wife is pregnant with twins, just now..." Could it be that my wife will give birth to another girl in the future?
"Hahahaha..." The old man raised his head and laughed, "You will understand this later."
He waved his hand and said, "It's getting late, you should go back."
When they woke up the next morning, their first reaction to this incredibly real dream was doubt.
But their physical condition forced them to admit that what happened last night might not have been just a dream.
They all drank alcohol yesterday and stayed up late, so they should be feeling unwell.
When I stood up, I felt refreshed, as if I had become several years younger.
The old emperor was the most superstitious of the three. He immediately believed that the two children Tu Qingyu was carrying were sons of the unicorn, and that they were wise counselors and generals sent by God to their Daqi people.
After the joy, large amounts of rewards were brought into the Marquis's mansion.
He even had the urge to adopt Tu Qingyu as his adopted daughter.
After all, it is a great blessing for someone to give birth to Qilin and Vermillion Bird in succession.
When the old lady woke up early in the morning and heard that Tu Qingyu had received a reward, she thought that it was Shen Liao who asked for Tu Qingyu again.
He cursed her again as a vixen.
When they returned to their parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Tu's parents did not go out and were waiting for them at home.
They seemed more amiable than before. On the third day of the visit, Tu's father wanted to make a name for himself by scolding Tu Qingyu, but now he didn't dare to do that at all.
After all, she was the only one who received a reward from the emperor on New Year's Day.
And there were all those praises. If the emperor had just praised her yesterday and she scolded her the next day, wouldn't that be courting death?
But just because they are honest doesn't mean others are honest too.
After Shen Liao finished chatting with the Tu father and son in the front yard, he returned to the backyard to greet Mrs. Tu and take Tu Qingyu to dinner when a servant came running over in a hurry.
"Hello, sir. The third young lady invites you to visit her old courtyard."
Shen Liao was suspicious, "The original yard?"
The servant said: "Yes, he said he has something for you."
Chen Liao: "Why are you here? Where are Gou Yue and Su Xue beside Madam?"
The servant kept his head down and said, "My Lord, they are accompanying the young lady."
Shen Liao didn't believe him at all and walked towards Mrs. Tu's yard.
"My Lord... My Lord!"
The servant was very anxious. Shen Liao turned around and looked at him with dark eyes. "Catch him and let him go with me to see my mother-in-law."
The people around him didn't even give the servant a chance to speak, and quickly arrested him the next second.
The servant's eyes were filled with fear and cold sweat was pouring down his body.
When Chen Liao and his men stepped into the main courtyard, only Tu Qingyu and Tu Qingyue were there with Madam Tu.
The remaining three unmarried girls of the Tu family were not there.
Shen Liao bowed and said, "Meet my mother-in-law."
"Have you finished talking to your father-in-law?" Mrs. Tu looked at him lovingly. "Sit down."
Just after greeting, Shen Liao's men escorted a servant from the Tu Mansion in, "Who is this...?"
"This young man stopped me on the way and said that the lady wanted me to go to her old courtyard to look for her. I didn't know him and his words were evasive, so I detained him."
He cupped his hands and said, "I acted on my own initiative. Mother-in-law, please forgive me."
Tu Qingyu immediately said anxiously: "I have never sent anyone to look for you, mother. I am afraid this is a villain who is doing harm to our family. Let's go and see what they have done to my yard!"
"This..." Mrs. Tu was a little embarrassed. She probably guessed who was responsible for this.
"What's wrong with my mother-in-law? Is there any other hidden story?" Shen Liao's eyes darkened.
"No, let's go check it out."
Tu Qingyu had been sitting with her, so she really couldn't find any other excuses. If she admitted that there was a hidden secret, wouldn't it mean that the entire Tu family was plotting against the couple?
Let someone guard the house, Tu Qingyu will not harm her other two sisters.
It is better for one person to offend the Marquis's Mansion than for the whole family to offend the Marquis's Mansion.
So the group walked towards the courtyard where Tu Qingyu had lived before.
