"Miss Hong, our general and his wife wish to see you. Is it convenient?" After Hong Xiaoduo finished eating her noodles and put down her chopsticks, a female soldier immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully.
Upon hearing this, Hong Xiaoduo immediately understood that they were discussing private matters!
“Of course it’s convenient, Tianquan, let’s go.” Hong Xiaoduo responded and immediately called to Tianquan who was standing next to her.
Seeing her reaction, the female soldier couldn't help but glance at Tianquan a few more times, her eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.
Inside the main tent today, only Gong Wei and his wife were present. After the female soldiers served tea, they all left.
When Gong Wei and his wife saw that Hong Xiaoduo had brought Tianquan with her, their suspicions deepened. When they invited Hong Xiaoduo to sit down, they noticed that Tianquan didn't sit but stood beside her.
Dou Suyi urged her husband to speak with her eyes, because she was so excited that she was afraid of uttering incoherent words.
“Miss Hong, to be honest, I asked you to come here to ask about this child. My wife and I lost a child eight years ago. I know it’s inappropriate to ask this, but after seeing him, my wife and I couldn’t help ourselves. So, please forgive me if I have been impolite.” Gong Wei realized that he was also flustered after he spoke.
I spent the whole morning preparing my speech, how did it all fall apart?
"General Gong, Madam, I will be frank with you both, our trip here is precisely for this child. He is just like those other children outside, someone I met two years ago, who was..."
It wasn't long before they confirmed that the character on the bamboo slip he was wearing was the character "Gong". Based on the Black Impermanence's vengeful nature, they narrowed down the possibilities of the child's background, sought help from the Treasure Pavilion to investigate, and learned that the general had lost a child. The general's surname, the child's gender, and age all matched, so they brought the child over to verify.
"Having learned of the enemy's invasion on the way, I was just thinking about how to meet you two when I happened to run into Commander Lü on the street. I heard about the enemy's use of that great weapon, so I volunteered to come." Hong Xiaoduo told him as concisely as possible.
As Gong Wei and his wife listened, their emotions followed her words, ranging from shock and joy to excitement, anger, heartache, and agitation.
"My poor son!" Dou Suyi burst into tears upon hearing this. Her eyes blurred with tears as she looked at her son. She stood up and tried to walk towards Tianquan, but she swayed and fainted.
"lady."
"Mother."
Gong Wei and Tian Quan called out in unison. Tian Quan instinctively rushed forward, looked at his mother who was already in his father's arms, and anxiously turned back to Hong Xiaoduo for help.
Hong Xiaoduo was just thinking about how to get the female doctor in the space to examine her when she heard Gong Wei order someone to summon the military doctor.
The old army doctor quickly entered the tent, took her pulse, and told her that the lady was fine. It was probably because she hadn't rested well during the past few days of traveling to receive supplies, and that she was also too emotionally agitated.
He took out a small porcelain bottle, removed the stopper, and shook it in front of Dou Suyi's nose. She then slowly woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she looked around and saw Tianquan standing beside her. She reached out her trembling hand to him.
Tianquan received an encouraging look from Hong Xiaoduo, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and let his mother hug him. Hearing his mother cry loudly, Tianquan couldn't help but shed tears as well.
The old military doctor, who was packing his medicine box, stared blankly at the scene before him. Finally, he realized that it was no wonder that Vice General Dou, who was always brave and capable, never cried out in pain or shed a tear even when seriously injured, was so excited. It turned out that she had found the Third Young Master who had been missing for many years!
Yesterday I overheard the soldiers around me whispering about this, saying that this young master looks so much like the general and the eldest son, could he be the third son?
Unexpectedly, it really was true!
The old military doctor was also happy for the general's family, so he didn't stay to disturb them and quietly left with his medical kit.
Gong Wei secretly turned his head to wipe away the tears on his face. He wanted to reach out and hug the child several times to take a good look at him, but he had no chance at all. He could only watch the mother and child embracing each other from the side.
Hong Xiaoduo looked at him with great sympathy and said, "Does the general have no doubts at all about what I'm saying? Aren't you afraid that I have ulterior motives and have found a child who looks like you to deliberately plant a spy here?"
Besides, this kid doesn't have any particularly unusual birthmarks.
“Young Lady Hong, although I am a military officer, I am not a reckless man without any brains. The moment I saw this child yesterday, I had a strange feeling, but I didn’t dare to think about it too much.”
Now that Miss Hong has told us clearly, my husband and I are at ease. We are overjoyed and grateful to Miss Hong. We have no time to have any doubts. Gong Wei said, pressing his hand to his chest.
Gong Wei's words made Dou Suyi, who had just stopped crying, turn her head and look over. She released her son from her arms, stood up, and knelt down in front of Hong Xiaoduo.
"Madam, please don't do this, please get up quickly." Hong Xiaoduo hurriedly reached out to help her up, and Tianquan also stepped forward to help his mother up, but his mother pulled him down to kneel.
“Young Lady Hong, you are not only my son’s benefactor, but also the benefactor of my whole family.” Dou Suyi said as she kowtowed again.
While Hong Xiaoduo was trying to stop him, Gong Wei, who had also realized what was happening, stepped forward and knelt down.
"You're a general." Hong Xiaoduo hadn't even helped one side up yet, and now the other side was like this, so she said helplessly.
Gong Wei replied, "At this moment, I am merely a father who has found his child who was lost many years ago, not a general."
"Father, Mother, let's get up. My mother dislikes this the most." Tianquan said quickly, seeing Hong Xiaoduo's expression.
