After two years of treatment in Beijing, Old Man Gao was finally able to speak again.

Gao Tairan was in mixed feelings, he had a good son, but the good son did not belong to him. To be honest, he was quite resentful of his parents. If his parents had not treated Xie mother and son so badly, how could the relationship have ended up breaking off?

But think about it, it was Tang Liu's idea behind this.

Gao Tairan felt even more frustrated and helpless.

What can we do?

Back then, he also acquiesced to their actions.

only……

He just doesn't want his original wife, he never thought about not wanting a son.

This is all because they are not doing their job well.

Old Mrs. Gao's heart was in her throat, and she looked at Gao Tairan with some uneasiness.

Now, this eldest son is no longer the one she used to be able to control in every way and who listens to her in everything.

The general's majesty is still frightening.

"Son, what happened?"

"Tell me about the situation in Laozhuang Village back then. Tell me the truth. Why was Gao Miao so determined to sever ties?"

Gao Tairan always felt that his family was hiding something from him.

The Gao old man and his wife looked at each other quickly.

Gao Tairan's voice came over: "If you don't tell me, I'll send someone to investigate."

"No, no, no! There's no need to investigate. There's nothing wrong with this. We've already told you this before.

Gao Miao was an obedient child since he was young. Later, after he moved to the Xie family's old house, Xie Xianglan must have instigated him behind the scenes, so the child became alienated from us."

Old Mrs. Gao quickly stopped Gao Tairan from sending someone to investigate.

Old Gao asked tentatively: "What happened to Gao Miao?"

"He is now a juren. In this autumn's imperial examination, the emperor was very impressed by his essay and issued an edict to have him come to the Imperial College in the capital.

In addition, saltpeter was discovered in the back mountain of Laozhuang Village, and Gao Miao presented the entire mountain of saltpeter to the imperial court.

What is the first place in the Autumn Examination?

Old Gao and his wife didn't understand.

But they know what the Juren master represents.

The two old men looked surprised and couldn't believe it.

Is Gao Miao a juren?

This, this, this...how is this possible?

Still coming to Beijing?

The emperor praised him for his good writing skills, and he even donated an entire mountain of saltpeter to the court.

Wait! What is saltpeter?

The two elders asked in unison: "My dear son, what is saltpeter?"

Gao Tairan: "Saltpeter is like a kind of ore. It can be used as medicine and for other purposes. It has many uses."

Old Mrs. Gao asked anxiously, "Those things are very valuable, right?"

Gao Tairan nodded.

"Oh my god...Xie Xianglan is a spendthrift woman, why didn't she stop it?" Old Mrs. Gao slapped her thigh hard and cried out, as if her heart was dug out.

"Those are our Gao family's things. What a sin! What a waste! I said that woman was a jinx. Look, she has squandered all our Gao family's things, hasn't she?"

Old Gao also felt distressed.

At this moment, the three of them were feeling sorry for the money they had lost, and they didn't even think about the fact that Gao Miao had nothing to do with them at all.

Gao Tairan: "Are you guys hiding anything? I want to reconcile with Gao Miao and restore our father-son relationship.

I don’t have a son now, but my family is big and he has a promising future.

I have to get him to me.”

“……” Old Gao and his wife looked at each other.

Old Mrs. Gao didn't like Gao Miao. No matter how promising he was, she thought he was just an untrainable little wolf cub.

"Tang Liu won't agree. Son, wasn't it for Tang Liu that you wanted to get rid of Xie Xianglan?

Now, it has become like this.

Gao Miao has become very opinionated since that day, and he won't make peace with you easily."

Gao Tairan heard the loophole in what Old Lady Gao said.

"When did you start to become so opinionated? Mom and Dad, please don't make me afraid to trust you anymore."

The latter sentence is both a threat and a deterrent.

Old Mrs. Gao has never forgotten what happened on that day of that year.

Now they and the third child's family rely entirely on Gao Tairan to live in the capital.

He can't have any conflicts with Gao Tairan.

“That year, after receiving your letter, we tried to find a way to have the Xie family tainted by second-rate people.

We thought that even if she was shameless enough to hide away, we would have the scoundrels come forward to identify her and have Xie put her in a pig cage and drowned in a pond.

That scoundrel failed to succeed, and after Mrs. Xie came back, I scolded her for being unfaithful to her husband.

She was so angry that she took a hemp rope to the mass grave and found a crooked tree to hang herself.

Xie didn't die, and Gao Miao even brought back a ghost baby from the mass grave. From then on, the mother and son seemed to have become different people."

"Ghost baby?" Gao Tairan sensitively grasped the key point, "It's the adopted daughter, right?

What’s wrong with this kid?”

Having said this, Old Mrs. Gao didn't dare to hide it any longer and told the story of Gao Zhi with some exaggeration.

Anyway, she was sure it was a ghost baby, and only the people in that village regarded Gao Zhi as a lucky baby.

Gao Tairan was completely stunned and his headache became even worse.

No one in the family told me about such an important matter.

Lucky baby, a bolt from the blue, the village ancestral hall caught fire.

These these...

What's not important?

Why doesn't anyone say anything?

There is also Gao Miao’s mysterious master, and Gao Miao’s sudden ability to tell fortunes. Are these all unimportant?

Gao Tairan looked at his parents with disappointment.

Everyone in my family is really stupid.

If they had said these things earlier, there would still be room for redemption and everything would still be in time.

Old Mrs. Gao said it was a ghost baby, while the villagers said it was a lucky baby.

In the end, it turned out that it was a lucky baby!

Otherwise, how could Lao Zhuang Village become the Lao Zhuang Village of today?

How come Gao Miao and Xie Shi have changed so much?

Pig brain!

Gao Tairan stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I have to go and get busy first. Don't tell Tang Liu about this."

"Wait a minute!" Old Lady Gao called out to Gao Tairan, "Do you really want to recognize Gao Miao?"

Gao Tairan smiled grimly.

"That depends on whether he recognizes me or not?"

The initiative was no longer on his side.

He could only think of a way to try.

…

War Palace.

On the evening of the second day after Gao Zhi arrived at Prince Zhan's mansion, Prince Zhan woke up slowly.

When he woke up, Gao Zhi was sitting at the table rubbing medicine pills.

The setting sun shines on Gao Zhi, as if she is coated with a layer of golden light, and her profile...

Prince Zhan looked at it for a long time and still thought it looked like it!

Am I still dreaming?

Gao Zhi couldn't help but feel that someone was staring at her, so she turned her head to look in that direction.

Their eyes met.

Gao Zhi slowly put down the pills in his hand, slowly washed his hands, and then slowly walked to the bed.

"As expected of Lord Zhan, you woke up an hour earlier than I thought."

"Who are you?" Prince Zhan stared at Gao Zhi's face. From the side, he looked a bit like her, but not from the front.

Prince Zhan laughed at himself in his heart, thinking that he must have been thinking too much, which was why he had such an illusion when he woke up suddenly.

"Little doctor, is the prince awake?" Zhan Sanqi rushed in, saw that Prince Zhan was awake, rushed to the bedside, and knelt on one knee.

Even the tough guy couldn't help but burst into tears.

"My Lord, you are finally awake!"
