However, not long after he returned to the court, the Great General was suddenly convicted and his residence was raided.

...

He was able to escape for a short time because he wasn’t part of the family.

When he snuck into the Great General’s residence that day, he discovered that the family was in trouble. He only saved his dying mother and Qing’er, who was ordered by his elder sister to come out of the palace to check on the situation.

In the once glorious Great General’s mansion, some people wanted to kill the prince.

His mother told him to escape with Qing’er and live a peaceful life.

But how could he…

During the two months he had been on the run, it was hatred that kept them going.

The last time he was on the run, he found two corpses that looked similar to him and Qing’er at the bottom of the cliff.

So he used them to make it seem like he and Qing’er were dead.

After that, he sneaked into the Zhou Trading Company’s slave merchant ship and arrived at Qingshi Town.

At that time, he planned to escape from the Zhou Trading Company with Qing’er.

However, he did not expect to meet a bold girl.

He didn’t expect that he would actually catch the eyes of this girl. In the end, he was bought and became her husband.

As Li Xiao thought of this, he felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

He moved closer to Lin Xiaoyue and planted a kiss on her hair.

Before he met his wife, he had never thought of starting a family. He had never thought that he would really live in peace.

Before his father’s accident, he was nineteen years old, and his mother had introduced many girls to him.

However, he was big and had a hideous scar on his face, so how could they be interested in him?

Even the daughter of a small official would not want him.

As time passed, he lost interest in marriage.

It was better to be alone than to find a woman who despised or feared him.

However, he did not expect that there really was a woman who did not look down nor despise him. Moreover, she even liked him.

After spending more than three months with her, she had slowly broken down his walls. He was willing to stay with her in this small village for the rest of his life.

However, he did not expect his wife to be so capable.

If the current situation continued, his plan to live in seclusion would be ruined.

Lin Xiaoyue quietly stayed in Li Xiao’s arms, listening to Li Xiao talk about his origins and his past.

When she heard Li Xiao say that he had been kidnapped when he was a child and was mistreated by a farmer’s family until he was eight years old, Lin Xiaoyue’s heart ached.

When she heard Li Xiao say that after he returned to the Great General where he learned military tactics and fighting styles, she couldn’t help but imagine his glory on the battlefield.

There were not many who could become a general at 18 years old.

When she heard Li Xiao say that he and the Great General had been schemed against and were trapped in the enemy’s territory, and that the Great General had protected him and died in battle, after which he managed to escape with the remaining soldiers, she was worried for him.

When she found out that he couldn’t save his mother, her heart ached.

Also, when she heard Li Xiao say that he fled with Qing’er like stray dogs, she felt resentment in her heart.

If he hadn’t met her, even if Li Xiao could leave the Zhou Trading Company with Qing’er, without her fever medicine, it would be difficult for Qing’er to recover.

That child’s body was too weak…

After so long, even though she had been taking good care of him and urging him to exercise more, his body was still not as good as children of the same age.

After telling everything to Lin Xiaoyue, Li Xiao sighed.

At this moment, he had a feeling that everything that had happened in the past was just a dream.

What he was holding in his arms was the real thing.

Lin Xiaoyue took a while to recover from Li Xiao’s words.

“So, Qing’er is a prince?”

Previously, she had a feeling that Qing’er was not an ordinary child. His every move was filled with nobility, but she did not expect him to be a prince.

Eh, no wonder…

“Yes. Emperor Yan’s ninth son, his real name was Murong Qing. Xiao is my mother’s surname. For convenience, I changed his surname.”

Even a vicious tiger wouldn’t eat its own child. Emperor Murong Zhao of the Great Yan was really ruthless.

Lin Xiaoyue nodded.

“Then what’s your name?” She turned around and looked at Li Xiao.

Could it be fake too?

“After my father acknowledged me as his godson, he gave me the surname of the Nangong family. My real name is Nangong Xiao. However, Li Xiao was the name my adoptive parents gave me, so it’s not actually fake.”

Lin Xiaoyue was stunned.

“Then I…”

“The past is in the past. I am just your husband, Li Xiao. Also, Qing’er’s surname will always be Xiao.”

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, and her heart calmed down a little..
