Beijing.

Osmanthus fragrance.

"Son..."

Qu Yaxiang hesitated for a long time, but still couldn't decide.

Although Ren Qingyuan said he was ready, the news was really unexpected.

"Madam, just tell the young master, we can't hide this matter."

Jing Jing took a plate and sat aside, peeling soybeans while persuading.

"good."

Glancing at Ren Qingyuan's expectant and anxious expression, Qu Yaxiang took a deep breath and said slowly: "Son, this whistle... it was given by your father, your biological father!"

Finally speaking out, the stone that had been weighing on Qu Yaxiang's heart finally fell smoothly.

"My father? He...didn't he pass away young?"

Ren Qingyuan thought that no news would surprise him, but in fact, after hearing what his mother said, his brain felt as if he had been hit by a giant hammer.

Suddenly, he was completely confused and didn't know where to go.

"It's my fault."

Qu Yaxiang smiled bitterly and said: "In the early years, I really thought that your father was no longer alive... Who would have thought that your father was imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years."

"In jail? What crime has he committed?"

Ren Qingyuan said suspiciously.

When he was a child, his mother told him that his father was an upright man.

Therefore, in his heart, the image of his father is extremely majestic and tall.

How could such a father be imprisoned for more than ten or twenty years?

Only serious criminals who have committed serious crimes will be imprisoned.

"He has not committed any crime. Your father is a good man, so how could he do such a thing as a robber or a thief?"

Qu Yaxiang's tone was very certain and firm.

"Then why?"

"It's not appropriate for you to know about this now. All you need to know is that your father is not a sinner."

Qu Yaxiang shook her head and said.

Seeing his mother's attitude, Ren Qingyuan knew that his mother would not tell him the reason.

In this case, he asked the most critical question.

"My dad, who is he?"

As long as we know who his father is, these mysteries may be solved.

"Your father, his surname is not Ren. This willfulness is my mother's surname..."

"Your father, his surname is Taishu, and his name has only one character, B."

"What? My dad, he is Taishu Yi? Is he that Taishu Yi?"

Ren Qingyuan's eyes showed disbelief.

"Yes, that's the Taishu Yi you were thinking of, Taishu Yi, the Great General of the Conquest of the North!"

At the mention of this name, Qu Yaxiang looked extremely proud, and her eyes seemed to light up a bit.

Ren Qingyuan stood up, quickly left the room and went to the yard.

Qu Yaxiang wanted to catch up, but was held down by Ning Jing.

"Madam, please leave him alone for a while."

"All right……"

Qu Yaxiang sat down again and peeled soybeans with Jingjing.

After so many years of life, she is no longer the carefree young lady. When it comes to housework, she is not inferior to An Jing.

Ren Qingyuan stood in the yard, looking at the ivy on the wall.

It is the mid-winter season, the ivy has turned yellow, and many leaves have fallen, revealing a depressed scene.

But Ren Qingyuan knew that in the spring and summer of the coming year, the ivy would become lush again.

Winter passes and spring comes again, and life begins again and again. This is the truth of the world.

Gu Er's life is not without origin.

As long as everyone lives in this world, they will have parents.

Even after so many years of suffering, at this moment, at least he has his mother by his side and his father is still alive, which is enough.

No matter what his father's status is, whether he is a high-ranking official or an ordinary citizen, he is still his father...

When Ren Qingyuan returned to the house again, there was no excitement on his face, only calmness and calmness.

"My son, are you okay?" Qu Yaxiang asked with concern.

"It's okay, mother, my father..."

Before Ren Qingyuan could ask, his words were interrupted by Qu Yaxiang.

"I was just about to tell you."

"After your father was released from prison, he was appointed by the emperor as the General of the Northern Conquest. Time was short, so he came out to see his mother, and then he would immediately lead his troops to the north."

Qu Yaxiang said.

"No wonder Mom, you put away all the sacrifices and portraits of my father."

Ren Qingyuan suddenly understood the reason for the recent series of strange things.

"Your father is still alive. Those things are unlucky. Of course, my mother must put them away."

"This whistle was given to you by your father. As long as it is blown, the nearby imperial guards will definitely arrive."

"This new house was bought with the money your father gave you. There are also hidden guards from the imperial court secretly protecting it nearby."

Qu Yaxiang said.

"My child understands."

Ren Qingyuan nodded.

It was a common practice of the imperial court to have hidden guards protect the families of generals who went on an expedition.

Protection is real, and surveillance is real.

"Your father has done nothing wrong to us. He has no other wives, concubines, or children. Son, please don't resent your father. It has not been easy for him these past few years."

Qu Yaxiang warned again.

"How can a child resent his father?"

What Ren Qingyuan said was naturally true.

Filial piety is the foundation of being a human being.

And Ren Qingyuan was a very filial scholar.

"Mom, I will go back to the academy tomorrow and study hard."

Ren Qingyuan said.

He is going to do his best to gain fame. Since his father is the general who conquered the north, his son must live up to his reputation and rely on his own abilities to shine on his family and not embarrass his ancestors.

"Don't worry about your father's family for now. When your father comes back from the front, he will take care of it himself." Qu Yaxiang said.

Taishu Yi's uncle was originally from a famous family, with a very early inheritance of generals. Taishu Yi was the pride of Taishu's family back then, and it was also the banner for Taishu's family to become glorious again.

But with the disappearance of Taishu Yi and the emperor's condemnation, the whole Taishu Yi fell into darkness and decline.

So much so that after Taishu Yi appeared in front of the world again, he did not dare to return to his family.

"My child knows."

Those things have nothing to do with him. Ren Qingyuan plans to act according to his own plan and ignore everything else.

"Mom, my father is on the front line, will he be in danger?" Ren Qingyuan asked worriedly.

"There is nothing dangerous about marching to fight."

"I still remember that when your father came back from an expedition, I took off his armor. The armor was stained with blood and stuck to his back. When I pulled it, a piece of flesh was torn off..."

Qu Yaxiang sighed.

"But you don't have to worry about your dad. Your dad is a real genius. He will be fine."

Qu Yaxiang firmly believed in this, and this belief also included a kind of worship.

"Mom, if you don't let me practice martial arts, are you worried that I will go to the battlefield like dad?"
