After returning to the capital, the eldest daughter saved her entire clan with her medical skills.

Chapter 234 1 Step 1

Ever since I can remember, my father rarely went out with my mother. Only during the New Year when the palace held banquets would he have to accompany her to the palace.

At other times, upon returning home, he would go straight to Qinglang Garden, fearing he might run into his mother.

If it weren't for the emperor's maternal uncle interfering in his parents' private affairs, they probably wouldn't have been born.

"I......"

“Father, please go. Didn’t you say before that you admired the General Zhenguo? I think this is a good time to make friends with the General Zhenguo’s mansion.”

Judging from his father's expression, he was about to refuse again, so as always, I quickly tried to persuade him before he could speak.

"Second sister is right, Jun'er also wants to leave the mansion with father and mother."

Children whose parents have a bad relationship naturally become sensitive, and Xu Zijun is no exception.

He hoped that his father could get along well with his mother and not ignore her.

Every time he saw his mother secretly shedding tears in her room, he felt extremely distressed.

"Um"

Xu Ye's voice was very soft, so soft that it seemed to dissipate with the wind, but it was still heard by Princess Qiling beside him.

Princess Qiling stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her emotions a mixture of excitement and suppressed emotions.

For twenty years of marriage, apart from the customary periodic visits to the palace, he avoided her like the plague.

"Father is so good, your daughter loves you the most."

Princess Qingyue cheered with joy, no longer caring about the fruit on the table.

If only her father could be like that in the future, she would try her best to bring her father and mother together so that they could get along like a normal couple.

"Don't you like being a mother anymore?"

Princess Qiling was in a great mood, feeling as sweet as if she had drunk honey, and a genuine smile appeared on her face.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've been this happy.

"Princess, people from the General of the State's Mansion have come to deliver an invitation."

Granny Qi's voice came from outside.

"They actually sent an invitation?"

"Would your daughter lie to you? Madam Xue personally invited her to a banquet at our residence."

"Then I must go to the storeroom and carefully select a gift for you."

"Father, let's go together too."

Princess Qingyue grabbed her father, who was about to get up and leave, her little face filled with pleading and longing.

"Um"

Xu Ye froze, but ultimately, unwilling to disappoint his daughter, he responded gently.

Academician's Office

Gu Mingcheng returned to the scholar's residence and tried to lift the wooden bucket off the carriage himself. He struggled for a long time, his face turning red, but the bucket still wouldn't budge.

"Master, let me do it."

The servant, Qingfeng, couldn't bear to watch any longer and spoke up.

"Um"

Gu Mingcheng, his little face tense, nodded like a little adult, and then turned and entered the mansion first.

"Our young master has returned from visiting. Please come in quickly and let your mother hold him."

When Madam Gu saw her son return, she smiled like a flower and was about to bend down to hug him.

"The mother's son is already grown up and can no longer be hugged casually."

Gu Mingcheng, his face tense, earnestly corrected his mother's inappropriate behavior.

"No matter how old you get, you'll always be my son. What, can't your mother even hug you?"

Yan Ning laughed so hard he couldn't stand up straight. He didn't know who his youngest son took after, but he was the most old-fashioned in the family, even more so than his father, a renowned scholar of the time.

"Children under three years old should not sit at the same table. Mothers should be careful not to break the rules."

"Hahaha... This kid is actually lecturing his mother. How adorable my son is."

Yan Ning reached out and pinched the baby's pink cheek, laughing so hard she almost fell over.

"Mother!"

Gu Mingcheng interrupted Yan Ning's kneading seriously, his face tense, and he was even a little embarrassed and annoyed.
