Gao Ziang recalled the trip to Liangzhou that accompanied Wan Ning, and he couldn't imagine coming happily and going back so sadly. It's really something that neither she nor Wan Ning expected.

He couldn't have imagined that the Li family would suffer such a change.

In any case, his marriage contract with Wanning should still continue. No matter what, he has to be with Wanning.

He knew in his heart that his father was bent on marrying the Li family, and the status of the Li family was the same, but now that Uncle Li had died, the Li family was left with only the lonely Wanning mother and daughter, and he didn't care so much about marrying the Li family.

He knows his father and mother best, and it is very likely that he will leave the position of the head of the Gao family to a family that is more worthy of marriage, that is, a family with a more prominent family.

It is possible that the father and mother will not recognize Wanning's status as a wife.

Although the marriage with Wanning was a promise he made before he was born, the Gao family and the Li family shared a commitment. However, taking a concubine is also a marriage and keeping a promise.

This is something he can't accept, and Wan Ning won't accept. He only accepted Wanning as his wife, and he was all in this life.

Gao Ziang kept thinking about Li Zhenghang's thoughts before his death, he didn't decisively hand over Wanning to himself, he must have been worried that the Gao family would be ashamed of Wanning, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take care of her.

What he should do is to do his best with his father and mother, fortunately, they both like Wanning, watch Wanning grow up, and know everything about Wanning. They also recognized that Wanning had the demeanor of a housewife of the Gao family.

No matter what happens, he wants to be with Wanning, and he will be together for the rest of his life.

Thinking of this, he gently kissed Wan Ning on the forehead.

Of course, this is all in the future, and the most important thing at the moment is to help Wanning's mother and daughter get through the difficulties, especially to survive the current period of time.

When Wan Ning encounters such an unfortunate thing, the more he needs him, and he should treat Wan Ning better.

He lowered his head slightly, looked at Wan Ning in his arms and asked, "Sister Wan, do you remember when I was a child, I told you that I would be good to you for the rest of my life?" ”

Wan Ning didn't answer him, she looked tired, but as if she was more dependent on him, she rubbed into his arms.

"What I said when I was a child, I still want to say it now, from now on, treat my brother as your relative, and I will take care of you."

Gao Ziang still wants to say something, he lost his father, and he can't fill this vacancy by himself, at least let Wanning have one more relative. After thinking about it, no matter how much I said, it was better to do it, so I didn't say more.

After a few days of turbulence, Wanning and the others finally returned to Chang'an City.

Everyone went back to the Li Mansion first.

When Wan Ning got out of the carriage, the dazzling sunlight shone mercilessly. For several days, my eyes have been red and swollen from crying, how can I withstand such intense irradiation?

She reached out to block the sunlight and couldn't help but look up at the sky.

Wan Ning thought of sending her father on a horseback that day, and the sun was shining brightly.

At that time, I was looking forward to my father's return on a sunny day more than a month later, and today my father really returned to the Li Mansion on a sunny day, but it was my father's ashes that came back!

Wanning's hands holding the urn trembled so much that she was afraid of falling the urn to the ground, so she put the box down with tears in her eyes, and squatted there crying bitterly.

All the servants came to comfort them.

Gao Ziang also came over and hugged her. "Wanning, we're back, let's go into the house."

After a long time, Wanning's mood eased a little, and then she picked up the urn again and said to her father, "Father, we are back to our own home." ”

"You've already returned, don't you go to the house to report your safety first?" Wan Ning turned her head and asked Gao Ziang in a choked voice.

"I'll tell Yi'er to go back first, and I'll face your mother with you, and you're in a mess."

Wanning knew that she couldn't hide such a big thing from her mother, so she had to tell her mother the truth.

All the subordinates went out to greet the young lady when they heard that she was back, but Wang Yunzhi did not, she sat on the chair in the main hall, nervous. Wang Yunzhi's anxiety is no longer a matter of this moment, nor is it a day or two. Since Wanning set off for Liangzhou, she began to worry in her heart.

With her husband's temperament, she will not worry her distant relatives. The letter sent by the eight hundred miles in an urgent manner clearly stated that if he was unwell, it must be a big deal, and the worst estimate was that he wanted to see his family for the last time!

Seeing Wan Ning, who had a very bad face, walking in, and Gao Ziang, who also had a solemn expression, beside him, he already thought of a few points in his heart.

Wan Ning gently put her father's urn on the ground and knelt down in front of Wang Yunzhi: "Mother, my daughter is back." ”

"Is your father alright?" A faint inquiry.

Wan Ning slurred: "Father...... His father suddenly fell seriously ill in Liangzhou, and his father is currently ...... Deceased. ”

Wang Yunzhi was annoyed, got up suddenly, "snapped", and a slap fell heavily on Wanning's delicate face: "What an unfilial girl, she cursed your father!" ”

Gao Ziang looked at Wan Ning who was beaten, and was very distressed, knelt in front of Wang Yunzhi, and hugged Wan Ning tightly in his arms: "Aunt, it's all my nephew's fault, I didn't take my uncle back safely, if you want to beat me!" ”

"You're going to bear it, aren't you? Good! It's up to you to bear it. As he spoke, Wang Yunzhi picked up a stick and attacked him.

The stick without long eyes fell heavily on Gao Ziang's back and shoulders all at once, and he protected Wanning without shouting a word of pain or complaining.

Wan Ning dissuaded: "Mother, don't fight, it's none of my brother's business." ”

After Gao Ziang was beaten with a stick, Wang Yunzhi finally got tired and collapsed to the ground. "Why did you just leave?" Tears that had been building up for a long time poured out, followed by cries of pain.

Wanning hugged her, and the mother and daughter cried together.

After a while, Wang Yunzhi was crying so much that she had no strength, but she was still whispering in her mouth: "What should we do?" …… How will I live in the future? …… Why did you leave me alone? ......" and a bunch of other words, so that Wan Ning didn't know how to comfort her.

Wan Ning only said in a low voice: "Mother, Wan Ning is here." ”

But how could Wang Yunzhi listen to it? Still talking.

Gradually, she didn't seem to have any strength, as if she couldn't hold on, and she might faint at any time. Wan Ning helped her mother back to her room and let her rest on the bed.

Wang Yunzhi quickly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

After settling her mother, Wan Ning wiped her tears, turned to the main hall, picked up her father's urn, and put him in the back room, leaving her father in the room he was most familiar with.

After finishing everything, Wan Ning returned to her room. Gao Ziang had been waiting in her room for a long time, and Wan Ning ordered all her subordinates to retreat.

"Brother, did your mother hurt you?"

"No, I'm fine."

"You take off your clothes, show me." Wan Ning almost commanded.

Instead, Gao Ziang said with some concern: "Wanning, we don't have skin touch, aren't you taboo?" ”

Wan Ning said decisively: "I can't take care of these false courtesies. Mother probably can't control me now, you are beaten for me, do I still have to hide it? ”

"Since you don't care about it, what else do I worry about?"

Gao Ziang took off his shirt clean, Wan Ning checked it carefully, and said, "There are some bruises on my back." I'll give you a rub first, and then I'll give you the medicine. ”

Obviously, he was injured, but he didn't forget to comfort Wanning: "I have been beaten since I was a child, and this pain is nothing." Sister Wan, you don't have to worry. ”
