Zhao Yuan carried her newly weaned baby to Beijing. Although it was a bit hard, the trip went smoothly.
After entering Beijing, she thought it would be difficult to find a husband who had joined the army, but in fact it was very easy.
The reason why it was easy was just like what the locals said. Xiao Hu married the daughter of a high official in the capital, so he had a good reputation. If you ask anyone at random, you can find the location of the Xiao Mansion.
It's a pity that Zhao Yuan's arrival was unlucky. Not long after her missing husband got married, he went to the battlefield with the army again.
When Zhao Yuan came to Beijing with her young son in her arms, it was exactly when her heartless husband went off to fight with the army, and the couple missed it perfectly.
Unknowingly, Zhao Yuan walked straight to the door of Xiao Mansion.
At that time, Webster was in a state of panic because her son was ill. Suddenly she heard the concierge reporting that a woman was looking for her husband with her child in her arms. Her eyes suddenly became bright.
Before they got married, she knew that her husband had a wife and children in his hometown in the countryside, and these husbands had all told her everything.
But she saw that Xiao Hu had extraordinary potential, so she asked her father to arrange the marriage regardless of the fact that Xiao Hu already had a family.
For the sake of glory and wealth, and seeing that Webster was so devoted to him, Xiao Hu immediately cruelly stopped seeing his country wife and decisively married Webster.
The final facts also proved that his choice was right, because since taking Webster, his promotion path has been much faster than others.
When Wei's family had no backbone due to her husband's departure, and was troubled by her son's sudden illness, Zhao Yuan came to the door with her little son in her arms.
Weishi did not let Zhao Yuan and the child enter the Xiao Mansion gate, but took her to the inconspicuous courtyard.
In the small courtyard, Wei Shi and Zhao Yuan met for the first time.
After Wei Shi married Xiao Hu, he always thought that Zhao Yuan was an ugly and ignorant country woman. Therefore, Xiao Hu left their mother and son without hesitation.
Only when she actually saw Zhao Yuan did she truly feel threatened.
Because Zhao Yuan is not vulgar or ignorant at all, she is even well-educated, and more importantly, she is also beautiful.
At that moment, Wei Shi knew that Xiao Hu valued her family's rights more than he loved her.
Wei Shi was afraid that in the future, when Xiao Hu achieved greater success, he would carry his wife and son out of the countryside, so she became disgusted and did not want the mother and son to continue to live.
As long as they live one day, they are a huge threat to her.
Wei Shi had the intention to kill Zhao Yuan, but Zhao Yuan did not blame Wei Shi for her husband marrying another man.
Because Wei Shi deceived Zhao Yuan, saying that it was Xiao Hu who committed the crime and she helped Xiao Hu save his life by marrying off.
With such words, the kind-hearted Zhao Yuan believed them to be true.
"Sister," Weishi said to Zhao Yuan, "look, when you first came to the capital, the master sent out troops again. It was such an unlucky thing."
"After all, the master is not at home, and no one has rectified your name. Now that you are allowed to live in the house, it is not right."
"So you settle down in this courtyard first, and when the master comes back, I will ask him to personally take you mother and son into the house."
"Just listen to my sister!" Zhao Yuan, who didn't know there was any deceit, nodded.
Hearing that Zhao Yuan actually kicked her nose and called her sister, Wei Shi felt very uncomfortable.
She arranged for a wet nurse to find an opportunity to deal with the troubled mother and son without anyone noticing, but the plan could not keep up with the change.
Wei's son died a few days after Zhao Yuan entered Beijing.
Holding her son's little body in her arms, she hated Zhao Yuan's mother even more. She believed that it was Zhao Yuan and her son who came to kill her son.
Just when she was thinking that her son was dead and Zhao Yuan and her son were not in good shape either, the nanny gave her timely advice.
Webster then came up with the idea of substituting a weak point and changing the pillar, and the subsequent implementation was smooth sailing.
The nanny created the illusion that Zhao Yuan's youngest son was ill and died, and Zhao Yuan was so distraught that she immediately went crazy.
After the wet nurse let her go crazy in the street for several days, she killed Zhao Yuan and buried her body under the big tree in the yard.
After that, Zhao Yuan's youngest son, who had not yet had time to name him, became Xiao Lei, the youngest son in Wei's arms.
Webster can be said to love and hate Xiao Lei.
What she loves is the glory this son brings to her, but what she hates is that this child was born to Zhao Yuan, not her own.
After dealing with Zhao Yuan, Wei Shi sent people to Xiao Hu's hometown to see if there was anyone else at home, and took the opportunity to clear up his worries.
At that time, Xiao Changfeng was being fostered in a neighbor's home and successfully escaped this disaster.
After listening to Xiao Changfeng's twists and turns and bizarre story, Su Nianyun caressed Xiao Changfeng's angular cheeks with distress.
"Xiao Changfeng, you must have suffered a lot since childhood!"
Xiao Changfeng nodded, "It's very bitter."
It was painful for him to live under someone else's roof, it was painful for him to go to Beijing to find his mother and younger brother, and it was painful for him to join the army.
After risking his own life to pave a bloody path for General Murong, he thought his miserable life was over.
He never expected that he would be saved by a girl named Anu.
The girl took good care of his injuries and comforted him with a smile. No one would marry him, but she could marry him.
This sentence was the light in his suffering life, which illuminated his subsequent life.
Hearing that Xiao Changfeng was having a hard time, Su Nianyun felt even more sorry for him.
She couldn't help but step forward and hug him tightly, giving him strength.
Xiao Changfeng immediately hugged Su Nianyun tightly, with such strong force that he seemed to want to rub Su Nianyun into his body and become one with him.
Su Nianyun was held tightly by him, feeling the warmth coming from his body.
After a while, she patted his back comfortingly, then lay her head in his arms and asked.
"Before, in Sujiacun, you said you would wait until I finish treating Xiao Lei to tell you these things. Are you afraid that I will be distracted after knowing the truth?"
"Yes." Xiao Changfeng nodded calmly, "I'm afraid you will be stressed after knowing the truth."
"Xiao Lei chose the path he chose. I can't influence him, let alone you. That's why I want to wait until it's over before talking to you."
Su Nianyun knew that he had good intentions.
"Then what are you going to do next?" Su Nianyun looked at Xiao Lei lying on the bed, "Are you going to tell him the truth after he wakes up?"
Xiao Changfeng also looked at Xiao Hu, who had a thick white cloth wrapped around his neck.
"Let's wait until he recovers from his injuries," Xiao Changfeng said. "He needs to take good care of his injuries at this stage. Telling him the truth may not be another huge blow."
"So, after my voice completely recovers, I will slowly show off with him."
"That's fine," Su Nianyun nodded, "It's good to take your time."
"By the way," she asked again, "recently there have been rumors throughout the court that you and the Sixth Prince have formed an alliance. Is this true?"
"Do you believe it?" Xiao Changfeng did not answer first, but first asked Su Nianyun his opinion.
Su Nianyun shook his head, "I don't believe it."
She didn't care what the outside world said, but in short the rumors were not credible and were most likely spread by the person involved himself.
