g my sincerity is enough."After hearing this, Lianyi felt that Song Dachuan was a clear-headed person. Although he respected his elders, he wasn't blindly filial. He considered his own small family an..."It's alright, you and your family are safe now. Just live the life you want to live from now on."

Ripples smiled and said.

"Well, this is all thanks to Lian Yi. If it weren't for you making Mother and your younger brother appear dead and escape, perhaps the Emperor would have forced the Gu family to serve him as slaves. That's the last thing I wanted to see."

Gù Dié'er sincerely thanked him.

"Why are we such good sisters! When the Liu family was at their most difficult, Madam Gu stepped in to help us. Of course, I had to return the favor."

"All that you have done has surpassed even my mother's help for you. Please accept my bow."

Gu Die'er finished speaking and got up to bow to Lian Yi.

Even ripples couldn't stop her, knowing the other person was sincerely thanking her. She then changed the subject.

Where will you settle down in the future

"I discussed this with my family, and we've decided to stay in Liangzhou. It's remote and out of the reach of the emperor. With new names, we can live peacefully for the rest of our lives."

Gu Die'er is obviously a capable woman, and she has already discussed it with her family.

"Well, then. I can leave with peace of mind."

"Ripples, are you going back to Youzhou"

"No, I want to continue being a traveling doctor."

"Aren't you getting married"

"I won't get married, what if I meet the wrong person!"

Do your parents agree

Ripple chuckled and said:

"It's fine, I still have energetic younger siblings. They don't need me, they can just think of me as being married far away."

That's because you have the ability, otherwise, who knows how many people would covet what you have.

Gu Die'er said with a smile.

"Don't worry, I brought Boss Lao as my bodyguard. He will ensure my safety."

Feng Lao Da, who stood guard at the door, sneezed. He felt that someone was thinking of him.

The two sisters chatted about some private matters and then had dinner together before parting ways.

Gu Minglang and his wife, along with their two children, are now gathered around Mrs. Gu, sharing stories about their brief separation.

"Lang'er, you did very well this time. However, as long as the Emperor is still in power, we must keep a low profile. As long as you are well, there will always be a day when we rise again."

And taking this opportunity, we might as well completely change our surroundings and follow the path of scholars who cultivate both knowledge and virtue. In the future, your descendants will still have the chance to bring glory to the family.

"Mother's words the child remembered, I have confidence in both children."

After Gu Jia settled down thoroughly in Fengmi City, Lianyi left with her own men.

Because Fengmichen had been occupied by the Hu people before, many ordinary people died. This also gave Gu's family room to operate, allowing them to obtain a genuine household registration and live the life of an ordinary small wealthy household. They had a two-entry courtyard, two shops for rent on the main street, and a small farm outside the city. Life was quite comfortable.

And because of her sensitive identity, Gu Die'er basically never left the house. She only went to the family's summer estate with her family for a short stay during the hottest months of summer.

A year later, as Feng Michi City slowly recovered its former prosperity, Qi Shaohang and Gu Die'er happened to meet.

Actually, it was just a gentle breeze that lifted Gu Die'er's veil, revealing one side of her face. But it was this very profile that made Qi Shaohang think of the woman who had been haunting his dreams.

Three days later, Qi Shaohang brought a matchmaker to the estate to propose. Madam Gu was taken aback and after inquiring about Qi Shaohang's background in detail, fell silent. He was indeed worthy of entrusting her daughter to for life, but as the saying goes, "familiarity breeds contempt". Her daughter's identity was a secret that could not be revealed.

At this time, Gu Die'er in the backyard also heard that someone had come to propose marriage. She secretly went to the front hall and peeked at Qi Shao-hang through the curtain. Then she whispered a few words to her younger brother.

Gu Minglang went to the front hall and said a few words to Madam Gu, then invited Qi ShaoHang alone to the backyard to admire the flowers.

Gu Die'er and Qi Shaohang met in the backyard. Gu Die'er recognized the heroic man before her as the guard who had vowed to save her that day.

To see you well, I am very happy! I hope you can have some peaceful days, but I am an ordinary person, and I can't let go of my obsession in my heart. I hope you will marry me, so that I can always be by your side.

"What if I don't want to"

Qi Shaohang pursed his lips, then said in a low voice:

"...Please give me a chance, and make your decision after you get to know me."

Gu Die'er, seeing the other person's slightly nervous expression, finally smiled and said:

“Alright, I’ll give you a chance. But let me be clear upfront, you know my status, so if you marry me, for the rest of your life, there will only be me as your wife. If you come to despise me, just give me a divorce letter and that's it. Don't humiliate me, I can't bear being wronged.”

I understand.

Qi Shaohang firmly agreed.

After that, the two of them began communicating more frequently. A year later, they got married. The wedding was very low-key and simple, attended only by both sides' parents and close friends. After that, Gu Die'er started living a life of wifely subservience to her husband.

Half a year later, Gu Die'er gave Qi Shao Hang a pair of twin sons. This surprised Qi Shao Hang greatly. He had endured for so long but couldn't help himself and secretly asked:

"Butterfly, aren't you the one who had a weak body and couldn't have children"

"Who said that"

"...that's how it's always been told."

"That's not something I wanted to do. I have no feelings for him, so why would I give him a child Besides, he already has plenty of children. If it weren't for the backup I left myself, what kind of fate would the children left in the palace face if I died"

Gu Die'er didn't shy away from saying these things.

Qi Shaohang's eyes lit up with joy. The woman before him was someone even the current emperor wouldn't look at, yet she chose to marry him and give him children. He felt his life was complete.

Ripples went to the child's naming ceremony especially, and she didn't forget to eat Gu Die'er's melons.

"If you hadn't given me the understanding pills, I would have truly felt like I was letting Shao Hang down. Now that I've taken them, I am incredibly satisfied."

Gu Die'er said with a face full of spring breeze and delight.

"You're happy, that's all that matters."

"Are you not planning to settle here this time"

"No, I'm relieved to see you doing well. I'm going to Kyoto to retire and enjoy my old age."

"You're so young, getting ready to retire"

"It's better to be prepared than sorry, so I'm going to take on a few female apprentices and live the life of having disciples serve me when things get tough."

Ripples nodded her head.

Actually, she was waiting for Xin Yuan to die so she could return to her position in the Nine Heavens. She claimed it was a vacation, but she didn't gain anything from it, which isn't like her at all.

After that, we corresponded through letters.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on the person in the imperial city for you. If anything happens, you can be prepared in advance."

"You're so thoughtful, thank you!"

Gu Die'er immediately laughed and said.

When the ripples of her departure faded, she received ten large and small boxes prepared by the Gu family. They contained everything she needed for food, clothing, and living expenses, along with a generous sum of silver. This ensured that she could live comfortably even if she chose not to seek treatment.

Leader Fong immediately smiled, feeling that the risk he had taken by pretending to be a robber was well worth it. He started collecting all sorts of treasures right away.

This time, the ripples drifted leisurely all the way and took half a year to reach Kyoto. However, when she arrived in Kyoto, she discovered that the Emperor's lifespan was coming to an end. more clear than me. Medicine and poison are two sides of the same coin."A ripple smiled, her lips curving into a gentle curve.Why wasn't I toldWen Shirui suddenly asked."Since he's already been disco...
