Xiao Chengyi was so moved that he said: "Thank you so much, master, for still thinking about my parents."
Shen Huaiting looked at him and said, "You did not disappoint your parents. You cleared their grievances and let the truth come to light. They will be proud of it."
Xiao Chengyi said: "This is what I should do as a son of man."
Shen Huaiting looked at him with relief: "Are you coming back from Mobei? I wonder if the war in Mobei has been resolved?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "It's settled. Mobei has now surrendered to the Central Plains. When I return to Beijing, I will deal with the unification of the four countries?"
Shen Huaiting's eyes lit up: "Four Kingdoms?"
Xiao Chengyi said: "Nanyue Beichen, southern Xinjiang Mobei, from now on the four countries will be unified, and the people of the world will be as close as one family, and there will be no more wars."
Shen Huaiting looked at him, with a hint of excitement in his eyes, and said: "I remember when I was talking to your father about the situation in the world, he also had the ambition to dominate the world.
At that time, Beichen and Nanyue were incompatible with each other. The war between the two countries continued, which wasted people and money. The people of the two countries were resentful to each other, and the people were in dire straits.
Your father is concerned about the country and the people, and asked me if there is any way to defeat the enemy without fighting?
I said no, the best way to end the war is to make the other side surrender. At that time, he was silent for a long time and said that he wanted to find a way to win without fighting so that the people would suffer less.
It's a pity that I couldn't wait for the solution he came up with, but fortunately you did it. You conquered the four countries without using war. You are much better than your father."
Xiao Chengyi said: "Without father, there would be no me."
Shen Huaiting nodded: "That's right."
After a pause, he continued: "Your father even joked that he wanted to marry me. If I had a daughter, you wouldn't be able to marry Yan Yan."
Mu Yun'an was unhappy: "Who said that, am I not your daughter?"
Shen Huaiting was shocked. He looked at Mu Yun'an and said, "Yan Yan, what did you say?"
Mu Yun'an blinked: "Did I say I'm not your daughter? Is it because my surname is Mu, so you don't want to recognize me as your daughter?"
Shen Huaiting was startled. He vaguely remembered that Tong Niang had asked him whether he liked boys or girls.
He said that girls should preferably look like Tong Niang. He always felt that he and Tong Niang would have children, and he would hold their daughter in his hands and dote on her.
However, reality caught him off guard.
Shen Huaiting couldn't help but wet his eyes when he thought about this. He knew that Yan Yan wanted to help him and not let him have any regrets. This girl was so kind, just like her mother.
Shen Huaiting looked at Mu Yunan and said with a smile: "Actually, I came back when your mother was getting married. At that time, I had a dagger in my arms and wanted to steal the bride.
But in the end I gave up, because no matter whether it was successful or not, your mother's life would be ruined."
Mu Yun'an sniffed and said, "Whether it's you or my mother, you are both very rational people and you have too many things to consider."
"yes."
Shen Huaiting sighed: "You cannot afford to be willful if you are born into a wealthy family. Their marriages are all dictated by their parents and the matchmaker.
Fortunately, you are lucky enough to marry the man you like, so all the regrets that your mother and I have had are finally fulfilled with you."
Mu Yun'an said: "How can this be considered complete?"
She looked at Shen Huaiting and said, "Let me tell you a secret. In fact, Brother Yi also became a monk for me in his previous life and served as a monk for fifteen years. The perfection we have in this life was all obtained by him in front of the Buddha.
So don't be surprised if you wake up from a dream and find yourself transported back in time.
All you need to do is hold my mother's hand tightly, grow old with her, and then have a beautiful child, and watch the child become a biological child. This is true perfection."
