Chapter Fifty-One Reunion Again Cheng Yaoguang Scolds
After listening to Li Jiancheng's words, Qin Shubao was stunned for a moment and stood still thinking. After a while, Qin Shubao caught up and said: "It turns out that brother was overthinking, what Jiancheng said is true!"
"Qin big brother understands, that's good. There are some things that we can't change." Seeing Qin Shu Bao able to understand his kind intentions, Li Jian Cheng was also very happy.
"Uncle Bao, Brother Li, I, Old Cheng, don't understand much, but my life was saved by you, from now on I'll follow you." Cheng Yaojin saw the two of them talking back and forth, he didn't understand, but he did know that whoever saves his life is who he will die for.
"Haha, I won't have to sell my life then! From now on, just follow Qin Ge and wait for me to need you guys." Li Jiancheng said with a smile. Cheng Yaojin was indeed such a straightforward and kind-hearted person, always speaking directly and making people feel at ease.
After walking for a while, they finally arrived at the Ten Mile Pavilion outside Luzhou City. From a distance, you could see four people inside the pavilion: two old women and two young women. One stood outside the pavilion, looking around cautiously, while another walked back and forth inside, seemingly uneasy. The two old women had their palms clasped together, muttering to themselves.
"Mother!" Seeing the old woman in the pavilion, Cheng Yaojin was suddenly excited and hurriedly ran over.
Upon hearing the shout, two young women turned their gaze over and both let out a sigh of relief, with smiles on their faces; while the two elderly women, upon hearing the sound, hastily opened their tightly closed eyes, and as soon as they saw the person walking towards them, they were overcome with tears.
"Mother..." Even someone as great as Cheng Yaojin was shedding tears at this moment, yet he didn't let anyone laugh at him. All that could be seen was his true nature, which was admirable.
"My son has returned safely, his mother is very happy, don't cry!" Cheng Yaojin's mother spoke as if comforting a child, which also shows the deep affection between the mother and son.
"Mother suffered for the sake of her child, and the child's fault is great!" Qin Shubao walked to his mother's face and knelt down on one knee.
"My son, don't be like this. Although I don't know what happened, I also know that your character would not harm heaven and reason. So, you don't need to blame yourself. Now, we should thank these two people for saving our lives." Qin Mu was very understanding and did not blame Qin Shubao, but instead pointed at Li Jiancheng and Qin Yao and said to Qin Shubao.
"My son, you should also come and thank your benefactor!" said Chong Yaojin's mother.
"From now on, you're a sworn brother! Don't waste words! From now on, Old Cheng's life is yours!" Cheng Yaojin said directly.
"Cheng brothers, what are you doing? I'm helping those in need on the road!" Li Jiancheng said with a smile.
"Alright!" Qin Shubao nodded at him, and Li Jiancheng showed understanding.
"Uncle Bao, what's going on? Why is the city surrounded?" Li Rongrong asked, seeing that Qin Uncle Bao and Cheng Yaojin had both spoken to her mother. The two elderly ladies looked at Qin Uncle Bao with anticipation, waiting for his explanation.
Only then did Cheng Yaojin suddenly kneel down and say: "Mother, Qin's mother, this matter is actually my fault!"
"Qin Fen, quickly get up, what does this matter have to do with you?" Qin Mu's mother asked in surprise.
Then Cheng Yaojin told them about his and You Junda's robbery of the imperial carriage. The two old women were stunned, they couldn't believe that Cheng Yaojin would dare to do such a thing. "Yaojin, your mother wouldn't blame you for doing such things, but you almost got the Qin family killed, are you trying to get me to die from anger?" Cheng's mother said angrily after recovering from her dizziness.
"The child is guilty, but it's up to Qin Bomo and my mother to punish him." Cheng Yaojin said sadly, at the time of doing this thing, he didn't think so much, now thinking about it, he also regrets, his own life is over, but he harmed his own mother and the Qin Xiangbao family, it's really deserving of death.
"Madam Cheng, let it go! Even Chao didn't think it would turn out like this, so just forgive him." Seeing how things were with Chao, Madam Qin knew he had made an unintentional mistake and thus interceded on his behalf.
"Yes! Auntie Cheng, Jiao Jin also just recognized me today, previously didn't know, but it's not Jiao Jin's fault either." Qin Shu Bao also persuaded from the side.
"You scoundrel, if it weren't for Madame Qin and Uncle Bao pleading on your behalf, I wouldn't acknowledge you as my son today." Madam Cheng heard the words of Madame Qin and Uncle Bao and forgave him, but her anger had not yet dissipated.
"Yes, yes! I know I was wrong. From now on, I won't dare to do it again. From now on, whatever happens, I will listen to Uncle Bao's words." Cheng Yaojin hurriedly swore to heaven.
"This time I'll spare you, but next time don't call me mother again." Seeing Cheng Yaojin like this, Cheng Mu's anger dissipated a bit. "Get up, such a big person, still kneeling on the ground, what's the point of that."
"Yes, yes! Mother didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to get up." Cheng Yaojin scratched his head and smiled foolishly. Seeing Cheng Yaojin like this, even if Madam Cheng was still angry, her anger had dissipated by more than half. And the others who saw Cheng Yaojin like this also couldn't help but laugh.
"It's really laughable." said Cheng Mu with a smile.
"As long as mom is happy." Cheng Yaojin said with a still silly tone, but his words made people feel sentimental, and such a child was indeed commendable.
"Right, Uncle Bao. As the leader, you can't go back now. What's your next plan?" Li Rongrong chimed in again, always grasping the perfect timing and asking questions without seeming abrupt.
"Oh! Speaking of which, I just remembered that there are still many brothers waiting for us." Qin Shubao suddenly remembered that there were people waiting for them.
"In that case, let's not keep them waiting any longer. Let's hurry up and look for them." Qin Mu heard what Qin Shubao said and suggested going along with it.
"That's good too. Are you going with us?" Hearing Mother say that, Qin Shubo also agreed and turned to ask me.
"No! I'm not afraid of being pursued by soldiers either. Yao'er and I still have something to attend to, so we won't be accompanying you." Li Jiancheng excused himself.
"In that case, I won't persuade you anymore." Qin Shubao saw that Li Jiancheng had hidden his true appearance and didn't want others to know what he looked like, so he knew Li Jiancheng had his own ideas. Therefore, he didn't press the issue further. Next, Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin led Qin Mu, Cheng Mu, and Li Rongrong in the direction of the remaining people.
"Master, is there anything else? Why don't we go see them?" Qin Yao asked after they all left.
"It's okay, we can just follow behind and watch later." Li Jiancheng explained.
"But didn't you just say..." Qin Yao asked in confusion.
"Ah! Some things you don't understand. Wait until later and you'll naturally understand." Li Jiancheng said helplessly. These people are going to form a pact, if he goes, should he participate or not? If he participates, will he use his true identity? That would be unwise, first of all, his identity would be exposed, secondly, he's the youngest, and after forming the pact, he'll definitely become the younger brother. In the future, if the Li family takes over the world, who would still treat him as a younger brother? It's better to stay out of it and maintain a friendship with them, without being too constrained, but more harmonious. Of course, Qin Yao wouldn't understand this, and Li Jiancheng couldn't tell her, so he could only let her be gloomy. Maybe she'll understand later, Li Jiancheng thought to himself.
As they spoke, the two of them continued to follow in the direction they were walking...
