Shi Qingluo’s eyes had a hint of playfulness. A noble title that could be inherited, presumably, the old Xiao family would definitely not let go.

Previously, Tao Liu had taken the initiative to send a message to her little husband. She did not want to be entangled with Xiao Yuanshi and the old Xiao family anymore, so she wanted to bring her daughter out to live alone and asked her little husband for help.

Her little husband also agreed to help. He promised that he would ask his scumbag father to give the mother and daughter some silver to buy some shops, fields, and villages. When the time came, she would bring her daughter to live alone.

When she returned to North City, she could have a good chat with the old lady about the title of nobility.

He was sure that the Xiao family would take the initiative to follow his scumbag father back to Nanxi County.

When Xiao Yuanshi heard the contents of the imperial edict, he also knew that the Emperor had a knot in his heart regarding his previous actions.

He felt sad. He had used all sorts of methods to climb up the ladder, but in the end, he was dismissed as a Baron without any real power.

If he were to return to his hometown, what use would he have for this title?

The key was that his two sons were no longer related to him, and he could no longer give birth to any more sons. Who would inherit them?

However, no matter how embarrassed and pained he was, he did not dare to show it at all. He respectfully accepted the imperial edict and even showed a grateful expression.

Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo were ready, so they set off for the northern border the day after the imperial edict arrived.

Two days ago, Xiao Hanzheng went to see the Third Prince and had already given him the commander’s seal.

As for the commander’s seal from King Jin’s estate that Liang Mingyu had given him, he had to go to the capital to hand it over to the Emperor. When they set off, the soldiers in the city came to send them off reluctantly.

The old general and the other generals sighed.

“You are clearly a talented general, why do you have to be that lousy magistrate?”

“Wouldn’t it be good to be a first-grade general?”

“With your abilities and contributions, it’s very likely that you’ll be conferred the title of Marquis in the future.”

These people really did not want a general like Xiao Hanzheng to leave. All the memorials they had sent to keep him were useless.

Besides, Xiao Hanzheng was not only good at fighting, but he could also ask for military supplies from the higher- ups- AS soon as the soldiers lives improved, he had to leave again,

All of them were heartbroken.

Xiao Yuanshi sat in the carriage at the back. When he heard these people’s words, he felt even more upset.

When he was still the vice governor, these people had a very average attitude toward him.

When they heard that he was going to be conferred the title of nobility and return to Nanxi County, their eyes were filled with schadenfreude or sympathy.

But now, they kept asking Xiao Hanzheng to stay.

Xiao Hanzheng smiled and hugged the old general and the others. “I also prefer to be a civil servant, so I’m sorry!”

Everyone had their own aspirations, so the old general and the others did not say anything more.

The few of them also cupped their fists. “Alright, then I wish you all a safe journey!”

On the way, Xiao Hanzheng took good care of Shi Qingluo, which made Xiao Yuanshi speechless.

When he found out that Shi Qingluo was pregnant, his complicated emotions reached their peak.

It turned out that he was going to be a grandfather. He could not help but look forward to his grandson’s appearance.

But the more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. Because with Xiao Hanzheng and Shi Qingluo’s personality, they would never let their grandson call him grandpa.

The more he thought about it, the more regret and hatred he felt. He decided that after he returned to North City, he would get someone to dig up Ge Chunru’s grave so that there would be no bones left.

That woman had harmed him and died just like that. He still could not take this lying down.

As for the fact that he still had a daughter in the vice governor’s mansion, he did not care at all.

To him, only a son could carry on the family line, and a daughter would have to be married off in the future.

Because the road was paved with cement, even if they slowed down, they arrived at North City in nearly 20 days.

As soon as they entered the city, Xiao Hanzheng heard the cheers and shouts on his horse.

“Lord Xiao is mighty! Princess Fu Bao is mighty!”

Both sides of the street were filled with people who had come to welcome them. Their faces were filled with excitement and happy smiles.

Xiao Hanzheng had led his troops to defeat Ge Kingdom, and the domineering Ge Kingdom had offered peace, ceded the occupied cities, and lost a lot of things. It was something that the Daliang people should be proud of.

Especially the people of the northern border who had had enough of the harassment of Ge Kingdom, they all admired and admired Xiao Hanzheng.

They also liked and respected Shi Qingluo, the disciple of the old immortal and a blessed princess.

Because of the war at the border, their reputation in the northern border was getting higher and higher.

When they heard that they had returned from the border, the people came to cheer and welcome them.

Seeing the proud smiles on the faces of the people and their excited shouts, Xiao Hanzheng smiled too.

He cupped his fists and greeted the commoners on both sides.

He was already extraordinarily handsome. After the baptism of war, he made people feel that he was handsome, straight, steady, and reserved. He was especially charming.

Many young women blushed when they saw Xiao Hanzheng.

They were especially envious that Princess Fu Bao could marry such a husband.

Many young ladies from aristocratic families were sitting in the private rooms of the restaurants and teahouses. Some of them were tempted by the handsome and tall Xiao Hanzheng.

They also wanted to marry such a man, but it was a pity that other than Princess Fu Bao, he was not polite to other women.

Moreover, he had also said to the outside world that there would only be one wife in the backyard, Princess Fu Bao. He would definitely not have any other women in his life, let alone take concubines.

They were really jealous of Princess Fu Bao.

Shi Qingluo looked out of the carriage window and saw the people welcoming them. Her eyes were filled with a smile.

With this layer of military merit and the respect of the people, it would be easier for her little husband to work in North City in the future.

They had paid so much for it.

She was even prouder of having such a young husband.

Xiao Yuanshi, who was in the carriage behind them, clenched his fists tightly. He could not calm down for a long time as he listened to the reverent shouts outside.

He had really picked up a sesame seed and lost a watermelon.

When they reached North City, Xiao Hanzheng took Shi Qingluo home and Xiao Yuanshi was sent back to the vice governor’s mansion.

Xiao Yuanshi sat in his wheelchair and was pushed into the house by his personal attendants.

The people from the Xiao family came up to them.

The old lady threw herself onto Xiao Yuanshi and cried, “My son, how did your leg become like this? My heart aches so much.”

The others also looked jealous, as if they were really heartbroken.

Xiao Yuanshi was a little touched at first. He took the initiative to help the old lady up.

Then, he smelled a faint ginger scent.

The old lady’s eyes were red and tears were flowing. She touched him again and kept shouting that she felt sorry for him.

Xiao Yuanshi was speechless. If he hadn’t smelled the ginger, he would have believed it.

Boss Xiao and the others also ran over one by one, shouting that they felt sorry for him.

Xiao Yuanshi was very frustrated when he heard that. “Don’t cry. I’m not dead yet.”

Only then did the old lady and the others stop crying.

Xiao Yuanshi retracted his emotions and said with a cold face, “I’ll go back to the courtyard first. We’ll talk tomorrow.”

Then, he asked his personal attendants to push him back to his own courtyard and even asked someone to stop the old lady and the others who wanted to follow him.

Then, he heard the old lady scolding him from behind. He rubbed the space between his eyebrows in frustration.

When he returned to the courtyard, he saw Tao Liu carrying the child.

He wasn’t in a good mood when he saw the mother and daughter. Instead, he was wondering why Tao Liu didn’t have a son.

If it was a son, not only would he have a successor, but his title would also be inherited in the future.

Hence, he did not like his younger daughter. He said perfunctorily to the mother and daughter to go back and got someone to push him into the room.

When Xiao Yuanshi entered the room, Tao Liu’s expression turned pale.

She looked down at her obedient daughter and took a deep breath. This man did not like her at all.

She was suddenly glad that she had made the right choice and that she had

sent a message to Xiao Hanzheng.

For the sake of her daughter, she had to move out alone. She would let Xiao Yuanshi, this cold-hearted man, live with the Xiao family..
