"Yanbao, this time my parents asked me to bring you back." Second Brother Shen issued an ultimatum.
Yan Bao didn't want to go back so soon.
Second Brother Shen saw through her little thoughts and said, "Dad said that Yan Bao didn't want Daddy anymore. He also said that if you don't go back, he will come and arrest you personally."
Yan Bao: “…”
【Dad, do you miss me that much? 】
"Oh, if you don't go back, then go back. If you don't go back, you won't be able to catch the emperor's grand hunting day on the grassland. My father didn't even know that he was being tricked."
Second Brother Shen: “?”
Is this true?
Brother Shen then remembered that the triennial grassland hunting had begun again, and the emperor would definitely go. If something happened then, he didn't want to be without a father at such a young age.
Even if Brother Shen was reluctant, he couldn't let Yan Bao stay.
He felt at ease with her around.
Brother Shen can't go back.
He was sent to serve as an official in a remote area and could not return to Beijing without being summoned.
He can't go back, and Xu Zhimo won't separate from him.
Knowing that Yan Bao was going back, Ah Huai felt a little reluctant: "Can't you wait until I get better before leaving?"
Yan Bao shook his head and wrote a few words for him to see: Take good care of your injuries. My elder brother and his wife are very kind and will take care of you as if you were their younger brother.
Ah Huai knew, and he asked again: "I'm fine now, can I go to the capital to find you?"
Yan Bao nodded.
Ah Huai was overjoyed, and all the feelings of separation were gone. "Then I'll take good care of you. When I go to the capital, I'll come visit you and see if I can run into my father."
Yan Bao raised his eyebrows and looked at him in confusion.
Ah Huai explained: "My mother told me that my father was from the capital and accidentally saved him. Later, he hurried back to the capital for something, apparently for business, and gave my mother some money."
"Not two months after he left, my mother found out she was pregnant with me. She couldn't bear to abort me, so she gave birth to me alone." Ah Huai spoke of his mother with a gentle and nostalgic look in his eyes. "My mother suffered a lot and endured a lot of grievances to take care of me. At first, she even waited for my father to come and pick her up. Later, she realized that my father had probably forgotten about her a long time ago."
"If I find that unfaithful man, I will definitely ask him why he let my mother down. Since he couldn't fulfill his promise, he shouldn't have hurt her and let her have me, which would be criticized by others."
Yan Bao thought about the poor woman who got pregnant before marriage. Even in the 21st century, there were people who criticized her.
Not to mention this feudal society where people are eaten without leaving any bones.
Ah Huai's mother was really brave, but unfortunately, she was betrayed by a heartless man.
Yan Bao nodded and wrote: Do you know what your father’s name is?
Ah Huai shook his head: "My mother doesn't know either. That person only asked her to call him Wu Lang."
Well, there was no family planning in feudal society, let alone the fifth, sixth, seventh, eightieth, ninetieth, twentyth, and thirtyth sons.
Wouldn't it be like looking for a needle in a haystack to rely on only Wu Lang?
Yan Bao wrote again: Do you know what he looks like? Can your mother leave a portrait?
Ah Huai shook his head again.
Yan Bao was worried about him. He didn't know his name or what he looked like. This was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.
Ah Huai also knew this, and he was depressed: "I'm afraid I will never know who that unfaithful man is in my lifetime. It's a pity that my mother called out the name of that unfaithful man before she died."
Yan Bao sympathized with Ah Huai Niang for a second, then thought of something and wrote: Do you have a token of trust?
At this time, everyone likes to leave some tokens, such as jade pendants, sachets, handkerchiefs, hairpins, etc. It will be easier if you have a token, after all, it is a proof.
Ah Huai's eyes lit up: "There is a jade pendant that my mother treasured very much. She said it was given to her by my unfaithful father. She left it to me after she died and told me to take the token to the capital. I didn't keep it with me and buried it in front of my mother's tombstone."
"That's my mother's only token. I know she wants to keep it, but I can't bear it." Ah Huai said, "When I recover, I will go back and take the token to find you in the capital."
Yan Bao nodded in agreement, saying that it would be easier with a token of trust.
It would be even better if there were words engraved on the jade pendant.
Yan Bao looked at Ah Huai carefully, but did not see any future plot for him in him. Yan Bao did not care, because he knew that the plot had not been triggered yet. He would wait until he arrived in the capital.
If the plot is triggered, Yan Bao will know who Ah Huai's father is.
Yan Bao has known the patterns in recent years. She can predict other people's future plans, which are all related to her or her family. If they are not related at all, she basically has no idea about other people's life or death, or the troubles they are about to encounter.
After talking with Ah Huai for a while, Yan Bao and Second Brother Shen returned to the capital the next day.
Brother Shen and Xu Zhimo personally sent them off. Ah Huai couldn't move and could only recuperate at home.
Yan Bao couldn't bear to leave his two little nephews and nieces. If they were not too young to leave their sister-in-law, Yan Bao really wanted to take them back and take them out when they were three or five years old.
Now they can only stay in Jingzhou City to accompany their parents.
Brother Shen watched the brother and sister leave, feeling a little lost.
Xu Zhimo saw that he was reluctant to leave, so she squeezed his hand and comforted him: "The children and I are here with you!"
Brother Shen nodded and smiled at Xu Zhimo: "Yes, and you and the children, go back, otherwise the two children will cry and cry because they can't find their mother. They didn't like to cry before."
"Grown up!" Thinking of the two children, Xu Zhimo couldn't help but smile.
To be honest, she missed the children too.
Having children brings more worries.
On Yan Bao's side, she brought a lot of things she bought in Jingzhou, including lotus root powder, lotus pods, lotus seeds, and other local specialties, all of which were gifts for Shen Shoufu and his wife.
In comparison, going back was much smoother.
Yan Bao and his men were with the people escorting the criminals.
