The window in the south is half open, a breeze brushing across the banana tree outside through the room, creating a subtle rustling sound.
The smell of bitter medicine was floating in the room. Xiao Qiao took the bowl from his fathers hand, set it aside, and helped him lie down.
Qiao Ping faintly shook his head.
Is the Marquis Yan unwilling to take Yanzhou? He asked.
Hes already gone. Xiao Qiao said softly.Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only
It is Father who is dragging you down. I failed to detect your uncles movements in time, which led to this disaster. Also, I did not handle the situation properly when he sent troops to besiege the city out of anger.
Its not that I cant give up on my reputation as a county official. Yanzhou is just a piece of dead land. Even when your great-grandfather was the governor, we never owned Yanzhou. Our ancestors graves were at Dongting. When your grandfather died, you were still young. I took you and your mother back to Dongting to guard the tomb for a few years. Dongting is a vast place in the Chutian, which I still remember. I thought that one day when you and Cier had started your own family and I could let go of this matter, I would help your mother to return her spirit and live out the rest of my life in Dongting.
Xiao Qiao looked at her father in a daze.
When he came with his troops, I should open the door and surrender. After his anger was over, he might not make things difficult for the people in the city. But I did not dare to take the risk. My death is not worth it, but my army and people should not be responsible for the sins of my Qiao family
Father, dont blame yourself anymore. No one is good enough. The matter has already happened. It is useless to blame yourself. What we should do now is to try our best to make amends.
Xiao Qiao helped Qiao Ping to lean on the bed and put a cushion behind him.
I know your heart is uncomfortable with General Wei Liang and the fallen guards. The remains of the bodies are all coffined, and he has taken them away. When I return, I will do what I can to provide compassion to the families of the soldiers. Father couldnt see and is not fit to travel, so I will go to Luoyang to apologize to General Wei on Fathers behalf.
Mrs. Ding saw Qiao Yues tragic death. Although she hated him for being heartless, unrighteous, and confused, after all, they were a couple, so she also dropped tears at that time.
Yesterday, Da Qiao, with her child Li, finally arrived in East County. The mother and daughter have separated for several years, and now they are able to meet.
Mrs. Ding gave her daughter a heavy smack, then took her into her arms and burst into tears.
Da Qiao knelt, and Mrs. Ding lifted her up. They were finally reunited.
Xiao Qiao was at the side, relieved. Looking at them made her eyes hot.
At least this moment, Mrs. Ding, Da Qiao, and Bi Zhi, their reunion is worth rejoicing.
Like slowly drawing back the strength after drowning in a heavy mood for a long time, a corner of sunshine finally appears through clouds and fog.
Even if it is only a corner of sunshine, it is enough to support her choice to embark on the journey home to face the husband she married in this life because of a long-standing destiny.
A few days later, Xiao Qiao arrived in Luoyang. It was her first time on the land of Luoyang.
A thousand years ago, King Wu set the foundation for the capital of the Han Dynasty. Frequent wars and changes of emperors did not make this ancient capital depressed. It was different from other cities because of its thousand years of history that turned into bones and blood. Even the breeze of the Luo River carries a hint of fragrant earth.
All the way to the east, Xiao Qiao saw the dense population.
