1284: Child

Child

Liu Qingqing threw a look at General Liu in bed. He was breathing steadily. His clothes had been changed, and wounds dealt with. She was not that worried any more.2

Liu Qingqing asked the soldier to guard him whilst she nodded and went out with Gu Chaoyan.

There was a wing-room next to General Liu's room. Fearing that the blizzard outside would make Gu Chaoyan feel cold, Liu Qingqing took her directly to that wing-room.

The moment they walked in someone delivered a coal basin.

Only now did Gu Chaoyan realize that when she was treating General Liu, the people inside General Liu's yard had been replaced by Liu Qingqing.

The reason why the concubine managed to dominate a while ago was because Liu Qingqing was distracted.

Gu Chaoyan admired Liu Qingqing. She believed that she was a capable and resolute woman.

She had been worried that due to General Liu's injury, Liu Qingqing and General Liu would be put in a very disadvantageous position considering what was happening at the Liu Family, but it seemed that she had been overly worried, and that Liu Qingqing could definitely deal with what happened at the Liu Mansion.

Gu Chaoyan felt much more assured.

She picked up the teacup and sipped the hot tea, before saying, "People normally get killed on the battlefield directly. General Liu, if he had been captured by the enemy, would either be killed directly or taken as a hostage."

"…"

"He would not have ended up being injured in this way."

"…"

"I don't think that it is normal that no doctors were able to be brought here either."

"…"

"General Liu has to go through proper treatment these days, but Qingqing, you have to be in charge of the family and it is not going to be easy."

"…"

"I am worried that the Crown Prince might have done this to General Liu, and the reason why there are no doctors available is probably because the King has taken the Crown Prince's side. If General Liu recovers, many more things will happen one after another. Be prepared, Qingqing." Gu Chaoyan reminded her.

General Liu was a very rare general, who considered the civilians and the Saint Divine Land, whilst Liu Qingqing was the woman she appreciated the most in this era. She stuck to her own principles, and thanks to these principles, she could give up her identity and the potential wealth. That was something most people failed to achieve.

Gu Chaoyan really hoped that everything would go well with the Liu Family, be it for her personal admiration or other reasons.

"Just tell me when you need anything." Gu Chaoyan promised.

Liu Qingqing nodded with gratitude.

She had thought about all of these when she was on the way to fetch Chaoyan at Xinlin Mansion.

The Liu Family were noble people, but not everyone else was, for example Zhou Huailing.

Unexpectedly, they tried to drive the Liu Family to the edge of the cliff.

And Liu Qingqing was definitely part of the reason why the Liu Family was suffering like this.

Liu Qingqing had her hands tightly clenched.

She looked really resolute as she nodded at Gu Chaoyan.

Gu Chaoyan had just picked up the teacup and drank some tea, when she heard a very shrill sound.

What? Was that the crying of a child? A child? How could there be a child at the Liu Mansion?
