Chapter 339 The 18-Year-Old Promise

Ma Mingwen had received Xiaodouzi's report early on, and knew that she had brought a child back this time, so he asked her about the situation. Ye Yan

Su Qing'an first told him about her encounter with Lu Bocheng.

This made Ma Mingwen sigh frequently.

"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive. It seems that he is going to join Mu Congke this time. Although Mu Congke doesn't like Wu Quanzhong, he is also an ambitious person. I'm afraid there will be constant wars in the future."

Ma Mingwen was a little worried.

"Master, can you write to Bocheng and ask him to come back and follow you?"

Ma Mingwen shook his head: "I know Bocheng's character. He led his troops to Shandong. I'm afraid he wants to use Mu Congke's power to avenge Cui Sheng and Fengxiang Army."

"Then he returns to the master..."

"He won't come back to me. He is afraid of implicating me and his family."

Ma Mingwen sighed deeply.

Said to Su Qing'an: "Don't worry. I will send someone to take a letter to him, tell him the pros and cons, and I will persuade him. No matter what, I hope he can be safe."

"Thank you, godfather."

"Why do we have to say two things when we are one family? What about the child?"

Su Qing'an concealed the imperial seal, but told Ma Mingwen the true identity of Zhao Zhao.

She told Xiao Douzi and others that Zhao Zhao was a branch of the Cui family, and there were loopholes in this matter, and it might not be passed with the godfather. What if the Cui family came to find him in the future.

I'm afraid it won't be covered.

Ma Mingwen has no ambition, he will not use Zhao Zhao's identity to do something that puts Zhao Zhao in danger.

"Ah, is this the identity of this child?" Cui Yuying's eyes widened, and she looked at Su Qing'an in disbelief.

Su Qing'an nodded at her.

"This..." Cui Yuying looked at Ma Mingwen in disbelief.

Ma Mingwen stood up and turned around in the study with a frown.

After a long while, he stopped and said, "The identity of this child must be kept secret. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles."

"Yes. I will only tell my godfather and Aunt Cui."

Ma Mingwen nodded and looked at Cui Yuying.

Cui Yuying covered her lips tightly with her hands and nodded to Ma Mingwen.

Ma Mingwen knew Cui Yuying's character and was not worried.

He looked at Su Qingmei again: "Wu Quanzhong is cruel and unpopular. He poisoned the last emperor who was demoted to Huaiyin, which has caused dissatisfaction among the people. A great chaos will break out in the Central Plains regime. If the identity of the child is leaked, I am afraid that many people will use this child to make a fuss. If the emperor is held hostage to command the princes, the world will be in chaos. You must keep it secret. If there is a chance, it is better to..."

"No!"

Su Qingmei knew what Ma Mingwen meant. "Except for godfather and Aunt Cui, I will not tell anyone else about the child's identity. Not even Lü Bocheng. And when her wet nurse entrusted him to me, she told me to raise him up and let him be an ordinary person and never return to Chang'an. I promised her."

Ma Mingwen nodded: "That's great."

After that, he looked at Su Qing'an: "You are soft-hearted. This matter... If you have any difficulties in the future, you must tell godfather. If you can't make a decision, let godfather help you make it.

"Yes."

Cui Yuying looked at this and that, and comforted Ma Mingwen: "Don't worry about it. Let the child stay in the mountains for a few years, and he will be no different from a mountain kid when he comes out. And Qing'an is not a person who doesn't know the limits. "

Ma Mingwen glanced at her and said nothing.

This matter is too serious. Once the news leaks out, not only will Qing's family be in danger, but the whole world will be in chaos.

It is better to nip the signs in the bud at the beginning.

Exchange one person's life for the peace of everyone.

Su Qing's knew what he meant. First, she was entrusted by someone else, and second, she couldn't bear to do such a young child.

After becoming a mother, her heart softened.

"Don't worry, godfather, I will raise him in the mountains and never let him go out of the mountains."

"Yes. I will call Xiaodouzi Zhang Yong and others to give them instructions later."

"Okay."

After talking about the child, Su Qing's talked about burying gold and silver in that mountain.

Ma Mingwen nodded: "Don't worry, leave this matter to godfather. Thank you godfather, you always think of godfather in everything."

"Godfather, didn't you say that we are one family? One family should not have two different opinions. I know that my godfather also spends a lot of money, so I will help him save as much as possible. "

Ma Mingwen nodded to her with great satisfaction.

This is not a goddaughter, but a biological daughter.

At night, she slept in bed with Zhaozhao.

Su Qingmei thought about it and decided to tell the child a few words.

"Zhaozhao, do you still remember the past?"

Zhaozhao blinked at her, pulled her hand and held it in his hand, but just pursed his lips and refused to answer.

Su Qingmei sighed: "Zhaozhao, who am I?"

"It's mother."

Su Qingmei touched his head: "Yes, I am mother. I will raise Zhaozhao in the future. Do you want to listen to mother?"

Zhaozhao nodded.

"Okay. Be good. Then mother told Zhaozhao that mother didn't want Zhaozhao to return to the place where he lived before. Mother hopes that Zhaozhao will be an ordinary person in the future, without maids or servants, just our family, doing our own things, and Zhaozhao will be with mother and brother in the future, okay? "

"Not going back?"

"No."

"Not going back."

"Not taking revenge?"

Su Qing'an was stunned. This child really remembers everything.

Su Qing'an stroked his little face: "No revenge. Mother hopes Zhao Zhao can grow up peacefully and just be an ordinary person. If Zhao Zhao wants to go back to where he used to live, mother will ask the King of Yue to send Zhao Zhao to a suitable family for adoption, and she will not go into the mountains with mother."

"No!"

When Zhao Zhao heard this, he hugged Su Qing'an's arm. Tears welled up in his eyes immediately, and his whole body trembled.

"Mother, please don't leave Zhao Zhao, mother, don't abandon Zhao Zhao."

He looked like he was about to be abandoned. He looked like a poor little beast.

Su Qing'an hurriedly hugged him in her arms to comfort him.

Sigh.

Godfather was right. She just wanted to be an ordinary person. If the matter was too big to handle, it would be better not to adopt him and send him to a suitable family for adoption.

There should be many people willing to accept Zhao Zhao.

From the godfather's side, if he found that Zhao Zhao had brought trouble to her, her family, and Yuedi, he would really deal with him.

Su Qingmei didn't regret telling her godfather about the child's identity. This matter was too big, and she needed someone to help her cover it. Besides, saying that he was a branch of the Cui family was not justifiable to others, but not to her godfather.

Rather than hiding it, it was better to be honest with her godfather.

But she kept the jade seal in the brocade bag a secret.

"Is Zhaozhao going to go into the mountains with mother?"

"Yes."

"Then Zhaozhao won't go back to where he used to live?"

"No."

"Then will you still seek revenge?"

The child paused.

Such a young child probably doesn't understand what revenge means, and it may be an obsession instilled by adults.

It's not a good thing to let such a young child bear so much.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Su Qingmei also felt that her question was a bit cruel, so she said gently: "Then mother and Zhaozhao agreed that Zhaozhao will answer mother's question when he turns 18, okay?"

"Okay."

"Then make a pinky promise."

The child didn't know what a pinky promise was.

Su Qingmei explained it to him again. Zhao Zhao knew that his mother would not abandon him, would not leave him, so he happily hooked up with Su Qingmei.

Finally, he fell asleep in Su Qingmei's arms.
