Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: He Is an Honest Man (3)
The matter had been kept secret very well, but somehow Ji Lin found out about it. Over the years, although he never used this matter to threaten me, he still made it hard for me to stand tall in front of him.
âDad, you really loved Mom, didnât you?â Li Mingyin was somewhat moved. In Yong City, where customs were relatively open, Dad was a man of outstanding appearance and the highest military commander of Yong City. Many women had aspired to marry into the General Residence. In the past, there were often women who would block his path forcefully, but Dad never considered taking concubines, even when beauties were sent directly to his bed, the outcome was always that they were sent back the way they came.
So, it had been fewer years since such incidents occurred.
Ning Yunâs face all of a sudden turned red.
âOf course,â Li Zhaoru nodded, âI actually fell for your mother at first sight, butâŠâ he glanced at his wife, âIâm also quite happy about it. If it werenât for this, I reckon I could have ended up lonely for lifeâŠâ
âDad, donât talk nonsense. If you were lonely for life, my brother and I wouldnât existâŠâ Li Mingyin laughed.
âLetâs not talk about this anymore. Rui brother, no, from now on I will call you Feng brother.â Ning Yun was too impatient to feel shy, âWe do have some trouble at hand, Feng brother, itâs your call to make. No matter what, the children and I will support youâŠâ
âWhat do you all think?â Li Zhaoru looked at his children.
âDad, the Yuan people are invaders, how can we harm our own compatriots?â Li Minghuan said with a resolute gaze.
âYes, Dad, Ji Lin is no good, we canât sink to his level; otherwise, weâll surely regret it in the future,â Li Mingyin also nodded, âAnd now that the Crown Prince has arrived, can Dad take this opportunity to reclaim his identity?â
Li Zhaoruâs eyes flashed, and after pacing back and forth in the room for a couple of rounds, he suddenly stopped: âYinyin is right, we cannot be traitorsâŠâ
Gu Qingheng had already returned to the military camp on the outskirts.
âBig brother, whatâs the attitude of General Li?â Gu Yao urgently inquired.
âThe rumors are true; he is an upright man,â Gu Qingheng chuckled, âBut itâs obvious that Ji Lin has threatened himâŠâ
âThen heâŠâ
âDonât worry, as long as heâs not foolish, he wonât stoop to Ji Linâs level.â Gu Qinghengâs eyes narrowed slightly, then he turned to Gu Yao, âAyao, bring a few people into the city tomorrowâŠâ
After making the necessary arrangements, Gu Qingheng sat in the large tent and began to write a letter to Yang Ruxin. It had been two whole months since he left, and this was the fifth letter he wrote to the girl, but that girl hadnât yet replied to him. Even though Xuexue had written back to Gu Yao saying that the eldest sister took her mother to Hangzhou City to the Dong Family to acknowledge their ancestry, he had asked the Shadow Guard to personally find Ruxin and make sure she saw his letter and replied to him.
Itâs when thereâs nothing happening that he would find his mind filled with the girlâs image; he felt like he was nearing madness from missing her so much.
He felt this letter couldnât be sent by Wengweng; he needed to send someone back to check on the situation at home, and then make another trip to Hangzhou City to see the girl with his own eyes. Otherwise, he really wouldnât feel at ease.
However, before he could finish the letter, there was suddenly the sound of an eagleâs cry outside.
