Su Wanwan felt utterly exhausted.
My energy is waning.
Everyone has their own agenda.
The situation remains tense, and the problem has not been resolved.
The current situation is the aftereffects of eliminating Liu Jin.
After all, Liu Jin represented imperial power.
The verification of border reserves promoted in those years enabled Jiubian, which had been plagued by corruption for many years, to regain its former glory.
The outstanding performance of the border troops during this campaign to suppress the bandits proves that the verification of border reserves was not in vain.
This further proves that all the effort Lu Xingjian had put into the border troops had paid off.
In any case, the situation of rampant banditry must be ended as soon as possible.
...
Xiao Bin had many dreams.
Some said goodbye to their fathers as children, while others boarded a boat with others, looking around blankly.
The stranger, her eyes red, comforted him: "Don't be afraid. Even if you lose your parents, you still have us."
She led him into the magnificent house, and the old lady called out to him with a kind face, "Brother Bin, come quickly, let me take a look."
Everyone smiled at him.
But after he fell asleep, people started whispering to each other.
"Eunuchs can have sons? That's utterly ridiculous."
"Couldn't he be a fake eunuch?"
"No wonder he was so powerful and influential back then, achieving great feats at a young age, yet suddenly fell out of favor and was demoted to Jinling."
"Do you think it's possible that he could be the son of Emperor Xianzong?"
"How could that be? If he were a prince, how could he become a eunuch?"
"Isn't this a fake eunuch? He's already had a son."
He couldn't understand what they were saying, and dared not make a sound, so he pretended to be asleep.
Later, he had a teacher and a mentor, and he was busy learning various skills.
He wanted to become as capable as his father.
He had to become powerful enough to go find his father.
Even though he had forgotten what his father looked like, he always felt that as long as he went looking for him, he would definitely find him.
The strange woman would occasionally come to see him, bringing him all sorts of delicious food, fun toys, and even dolls.
"I have a daughter who is a few years younger than you."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened again.
Is having a daughter something to be proud of?
It's still worth crying over.
He was very dismissive.
I also disliked this woman because she said her father was dead.
I don't believe her nonsense.
Later, he really did sneak away to find his father.
On the vast ocean, it stretches to the horizon.
Someone pointed to the turbulent sea: "The ship sank here."
He couldn't understand why his father would abandon him when he was young and come to this deep sea.
He didn't believe any of it.
However, my father really did disappear for so many years.
I will never come back to see him again.
He had forgotten what his father looked like.
Later, he met the kind-looking old lady again.
The old lady asked him to go to Maoling Village to guard and calm his mind.
But he saw in the old woman's eyes love, pity, and a barely perceptible scrutiny and wariness.
What was she wary of him about?
The words he overheard as a child suddenly came to life, forming an impenetrable net that suffocated him.
That's unfair.
This world is so unfair.
During his years in Maoling Village, he lived in a dilapidated thatched hut and interacted with the villagers.
Day after day, he hunted, practiced martial arts, and lived a simple life of contentment.
But inside, a frantic clamor was running through my mind.
who I am?
Where am I?
Later, Maoling Village could no longer bring him peace, and he kept applying to visit his former residence in Jinling.
The old lady was bedridden this time, her life hanging by a thread.
She agreed.
His dim, weak eyes were filled with envy: "Being able to go out and travel is true freedom. You are a blessed person."
He felt that the old lady was mocking him.
The world owes him justice.
Until he saw Su Wanwan struggling in the river.
The moment he saw Su Wanwan, he knew she was that strange woman's daughter.
He was very pleased.
The strange woman cursed that his father was dead.
He watched as the daughter of a stranger drowned.
The world has finally been fair for once.
later.
Su Wanwan stopped struggling.
Lying quietly in the water, his eyes were filled with despair and lifelessness.
His heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.
When the ship sank, did my father also struggle in the water like this, hoping someone would come to his rescue?
Will someone go to rescue my father?
Lost in thought, he came to his senses to find that Su Wanwan had already left the icy river and was vomiting water in his arms.
She was soaking wet and disheveled, her big, red eyes staring at him as if he were a god descending from the heavens.
At that moment, he suddenly felt that perhaps there is fairness in this world.
For a while, he was particularly annoyed by this woman.
There's so much to do.
She appears well-behaved and dignified, but she has long been secretly pregnant with someone else's child and intends to give birth to it.
Annoying as it may be.
He still did everything he could to help her.
Anyway, he didn't know what to do.
Holding her newborn baby and seeing her weak yet gentle smile, his resentment and bitterness were soothed at that moment.
He's not the only one as pitiful as him.
The three of them shared the same plight.
He even imagined that when he was born, his father should have held him like this, gazing tenderly into his mother's eyes.
His mother died young, and he no longer remembers what she looked like, whether she was fat or thin. He only remembers that she smelled sweet and was soft, humming lullabies to lull him to sleep.
But looking at Su Wanwan, who was in postpartum confinement, the image of a mother in my mind suddenly seemed to come to life.
He even secretly observed how young men who had just become fathers behaved.
