The General's Mansion may seem prosperous, but it was all won by Shen Chengzhou through one battle after another.
There are so many dignitaries in Tokyo City. Some of them are lucky and have been born into a good family with prominent generations. Some of them are talented and have been able to gain a foothold in the court.
Only Shen Chengzhou used his life.
Ling Qingwan was not familiar with Shen Chengzhou in her previous life, but she knew that Shen Chengzhou was truly kind to her.
She also knew that Shen Chengzhou was the great general who defended Dai Viet. Her grandfather had made indelible contributions to the peace and prosperity of Dai Viet.
It was because of this that Shen Chengzhou ended up alone and helpless, and was tortured to death, which became a knot in Ling Qingwan's heart.
This stubborn but kind-hearted old man should enjoy the happiness of family life in his later years, which is worthy of his life of fighting.
After sending Ling Shen back to her room to rest, Ling Qingwan also tidied up and planned to take a nap.
She did not sleep the whole night yesterday, and early this morning she went to the city gate to see Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao off. Ling Qingwan was so exhausted that she almost collapsed to the ground several times while walking.
As soon as her head touched the pillow, Ling Qingwan fell asleep.
She didn't sleep well.
Ling Qingwan had a dream. In the dream, Shen Chengzhou went to the border and fought with the Northern Zhou, but was defeated. Then he encountered Fusang's mischief...
The scene in the dream was no different from that in my previous life.
Afterwards, Shen Chengzhou returned triumphantly, the emperor abdicated, Song Zhiqing ascended the throne, changed the country's name to An, and removed Shen Chengzhou's military power, under the pretext of remembering Shen Chengzhou's great contributions and rewarding him with the right to live out his life in peace in his mansion.
After that, Song Zhiqing and Ling Chuchu targeted her again and again, but her brother and she still couldn't escape their hands.
…
"ah!"
Ling Qingwan sat up abruptly.
Her back felt cold and she couldn't stop sweating all over.
Qiao'er and Nanny Park rushed in when they heard the noise, and saw Ling Qingwan sitting on the bed, breathing heavily.
"Miss! What's wrong with you?" Qiao'er was extremely worried. She rushed to the bedside and gently patted Ling Qingwan's back to calm her down.
Nanny Park moved quickly and poured a cup of tea and handed it to Ling Qingwan.
Ling Qingwan raised her head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Miss, are you having a nightmare?" Nanny Pu asked gently, afraid to disturb Ling Qingwan.
Seeing her like this, she must have had some bad dream. Madam Pu and Qiao'er felt very distressed.
"Yeah." Ling Qingwan responded calmly.
When she came to her senses, Ling Qingwan looked outside and realized that she had slept from noon to night.
"Where is my mother? Is she awake?" Ling Qingwan was worried about Ling Shenshi.
"Madam woke up an hour ago. She has already had dinner and returned to her room." Nanny Park told Ling Qingwan truthfully.
"That's good." Ling Qingwan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as the people around her are safe and sound, it proves that her dream was false.
In her previous life, she fell in love with Song Zhiqing, but not in this life. Moreover, Song Zhiqing and Ling Chuchu did not renew their relationship. On the contrary, it seemed that Song Zhiqing was very repulsive to Ling Chuchu.
These two points alone are very different from the previous life.
Therefore, what happened in the previous life may not happen in this life. Ling Qingwan felt much better when she thought about it.
Seeing that Ling Qingwan's emotions had stabilized, Qiao'er went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, while Nanny Pu brought hot water and helped Ling Qingwan wipe her body.
After dinner, Ling Qingwan couldn't sleep, so she sat on the steps at the door to enjoy the breeze.
Perhaps it was because he slept too much during the day, Ling Qingwan always felt groggy and dizzy, as if he was filled with lead and felt very heavy.
There is a full moon hanging high in the sky.
Ling Qingwan was wondering where her grandfather and brother were now. They were still on the way. If they looked up, could they see the moon
Thinking about this, Ling Qingwan was lost in thought.
It was not until she smelled a faint scent of sandalwood that she turned around and found Wei Xun standing behind her.
"How long have you been here?" Ling Qingwan asked.
Wei Xun sat down next to Ling Qingwan.
"How long you have been looking at the moon is how long I have been looking at you." Wei Xun was very gentle.
Especially against the moonlight, and his cheesy words, Ling Qingwan's heart trembled, and her cheeks immediately flushed.
She finally woke up from her sleepiness, but her head started to feel dizzy again.
"Are you shy?" Wei Xun smiled happily, his eyes curved into crescents.
"No." Ling Qingwan quickly retorted.
Little did she know that her cheeks were burning hot at this moment, and she wished she could write the word "shy" on her forehead.
Wei Xun didn't want to tease her anymore. When Ling Qingwan finished speaking, he held her head down and let her lean on his shoulder.
"I said I would spend more time with you." Wei Xun said in a low voice.
"I know you will keep your promise." Ling Qingwan's tone was light, as if the words she spoke would be blown away by the wind and drift away with it.
"Is Wanwan missing your grandfather and brother?" Wei Xun rubbed Ling Qingwan's head.
When talking to Ling Qingwan, Wei Xun acted like an older brother, and Ling Qingwan seemed like a child who had just grown up.
"A little bit." Ling Qingwan did not refute.
But she was stubborn and although she clearly missed him very much, she still gritted her teeth and brushed it off lightly.
Wei Xun looked at her like this and thought she was extremely cute.
"General Shen has made great achievements in his life. He is not easily defeated. The same is true for Ling Xiao. I have fought alongside him before and know his abilities. Don't worry, if the two of them join forces, even if the Northern Zhou army is tens of thousands, General Shen and Ling Xiao will be able to defeat them."
Ling Qingwan had only been back in Tokyo for a year, and there had been no major wars in the past year. This was the first time that Ling Qingwan had watched Shen Chengzhou go to war. Wei Xun thought she was simply worried about Shen Chengzhou and Ling Xiao.
But in fact, Ling Qingwan had experienced this in her previous life.
"I see."
After hearing Wei Xun's comfort, Ling Qingwan raised the corners of her mouth slightly and smiled at Wei Xun.
"By the way, you are busy dealing with government affairs during the day, and you have to accompany me at night. Aren't you tired?"
She only stayed up all night, but today she felt dazed and depressed.
"I'm used to it." Wei Xun said with a smile. "Besides, how can coming to accompany you be considered tiring? It's clearly a pleasure. Only when I'm with you can I feel a moment of relaxation."
Ling Qingwan's heart was deeply touched.
Since when did Wei Xun become better at speaking and better at making her happy
"Do you want to fly a kite?" Wei Xun asked suddenly.
"Flying a kite?" Ling Qingwan was surprised.
"Yes, how about I take you to fly a kite when the weather is fine in a few days?" Wei Xun suggested. "Last time I took you out for an outing, Tan Jiao got injured and we went back home. I have always felt regretful and want to take you out for another happy outing."
If she went there now, she wouldn't be schemed against by anyone, not to mention that it was just her and Wei Xun. Tan Jiao was no longer the same as before, and she and Ling Qingwan had already reconciled.
"good!"
Ling Qingwan nodded and agreed immediately.
