With a long sigh, he looked at his wife and said, "Madam feels sorry for Hong'er, how can I not feel sorry for me as a father, but you also know what the imperial doctor said to us before, and you also know that Hong'er is like now, and I don't know if we will lose this son one day." ”

His eyes were slightly red, he held his wife's hand, and the two turned around and entered the gate of the Guogong Mansion: "Hong'er is smart, but you and I are both because he was weak when he was young, blindly indulge him, and hold him, although his heart is not crooked, but the facts now are enough to show that we have almost raised this son! Madam, you and I are alive and well, if we all go, who do you say Hong'er will protect him? No one to protect that stinky boy, how can he still stand in the world?"

The corners of Mrs. Qin's mouth moved, and she wanted to say something, but she heard Qin Guogong say again: "Do you want to say that with the family business of our Guogong Mansion, Hong'er can live without worry even if she doesn't do anything?" Mrs. Qin nodded.

Qin Guogong smiled bitterly: "No matter how big the family business is, if the master can't take care of it, how long can it last?" To put it mildly, now that we are here, the subordinates are respectfully called Hong'er a word of the prince, without us in the future, can you guarantee that there will be no slaves who betray the master in this house? Also, don't forget, Hong'er has two younger brothers behind, and when they reach adulthood, they can see clearly that Hong'er is a person who can't afford to carry it, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not have two hearts. ”

Xu is Qin Guogong's words reached Mrs. Qin's heart, and I saw that the tears in Mrs. Qin's eyes were wiped more and more.

Yes, if she and Grandpa Guo are gone, with her son's honest temperament, how can she support the Guogong Mansion, how can she calculate her adult cousin, and how can she stand on the world?

Knowing that she was pondering her words, Qin Guogong did not persuade her, but just held his wife's hand and silently returned to the main courtyard.

"They all retreated and waited in the courtyard. ”

Entering the house, the two husbands and wives sat on the low couch, and Qin Guogong waved away the maid who was waiting in the house, and then he said what he suppressed in his heart: "Xiuya, the reason why I am cheeky today and ask Lord Yun to treat Hong'er's body in front of the emperor is that I am really worried that we white-haired people will send black-haired people, and on the other hand, I think Hong'er has a strong support." ”

"......" The tears in Mrs. Qin's eyes stopped for a moment, and she looked up at Qin Guogong in confusion.

Holding her hand tightly, Qin Guogong looked a little melancholy and said: "When I married you and entered the door, I planned to be the only woman in my life, and as long as you are a woman, I also told you this on the wedding night, but later because of military merits and because I couldn't disobey the holy will, I accepted the women given by the palace, I know you must have been very sad at that time, but considering my future, you had to hold back the grievances in your heart, accepted those women into the door, and also advised me to walk around the courtyard of those women, Xiuya...... I know your suffering, your grievances, and I knew it from the beginning. ”

The tears in Mrs. Qin's eyes slipped again, and her voice trembled: "Master, you ......" It turned out that he knew everything, he knew her suffering, and knew her grievances......

"Don't say anything, just listen to me. Qin Guogong's face had a soft expression, and he didn't let her say it further, his eyes were full of affection, and he continued: "You hurt your body after giving birth to Hong'er, and it will be difficult to conceive since then, Rao is that I said I don't care, you still think about my Qin family's incense, bury all the grievances in your heart, and let me go to the concubine's courtyard more, so that I can leave a few more heirs for the Qin family." ”

"Our Hong'er was born weak, and you were damaged because you gave birth to a child, how could I have children with other women at that time? Therefore, although I went to the concubine's courtyard according to your wishes, I did not let them get pregnant......

As if seeing the doubts in his wife's eyes, Qin Guogong smiled and said, "I don't want to give birth to a few rivals of similar age to our Hong'er, Xiuya, although I am from a poor background, I have heard a lot about the pickling in the backyard of a big family, and since I know it, I have to avoid those things as much as possible." Xiuya, you are from a famous family, not a concubine but much better than those concubines who hold their own identity, I am very happy to marry you, I am very happy to have such a good relationship, so I have a vow to give my love, and the best of myself, to you and our son. ”

"Master......" Mrs. Qin was moved by his words, covering her mouth and crying silently.

Qin Guogong raised his hand, wiped away the tears on her face with his rough fingertips, and said with a smile: "Don't cry, Xiuya, do you know? I am earning war merit on the tip of the knife, and I may die on the battlefield at any time, so I have to think carefully for the two of you everywhere, and I can't let you be bullied after I don't have me, so I waited until Hong'er was ten years old to let the concubine have a chance to get pregnant, but only to let three of them get pregnant, so that it can help Hong'er in the future. ”

"However, I have noticed in recent years that except for the Liu family, because she gave birth to a concubine, she didn't work in the backyard, and the Ning family and the Mao family are not at ease! The reason why they dare to make trouble in secret is that they feel that Hong'er is difficult to become a big deal, and they feel that their son has the opportunity to become the son of this country's mansion, which I see in my eyes, but I haven't attacked them for a long time, that is because I think you and Hong'er can wake up from this, so as not to be calculated by them when I am not there, but you don't seem to be wary of the Ning and Mao's honey-bellied swords, Hong'er is also about to weaken, and his heart is still as simple as a child, how can I rest assured of you two?"

When Qin Guogong said this, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "Xiuya, I will leave for the border city tomorrow, and the return date is uncertain, and I may not even be able to come back......"

"Master, what are you talking about? What do you mean that you may never come back? The concubine will pray for the master every day, and will wait for the master to come back with Hong'er!" Mrs. Qin cut off his words and sobbed.

"Xiuya, it is difficult to say what is happening on the battlefield, whether it is me, or the soldiers under my command, it is possible to sacrifice their lives for the country at any time, you and I have been married for many years, and we should be prepared in our hearts. ”

"No, I'm not prepared, I want you to live, I want you to live well, you have to take care of yourself, you want to return to the capital safe and sound, and return to our mother. ”

Mrs. Qin threw herself into his arms and cried silently.

Qin Guogong grabbed her shoulder, patted her gently, and said, "If I can live, I will naturally try my best to survive, Xiuya, having said so much, what I want to tell you is that if you ...... If I had a case, Qin An would get rid of the Ning family and the Mao family as soon as possible, so that they would not be overwhelmed and rely on their sons to make trouble in the mansion. As for Qin Pei and Qin Yue, as long as they live in peace, when they become adults, Qin An will assist you to let them move out of the house and live in another place, otherwise, I will only treat them as if they have never given birth to those two concubines. ”
