Liu Xiangbai's voice was hoarse and choked with sobs, "It is our Liu family who has implicated you and made you suffer with me."
He felt regretful in his heart. If he had known what would happen today, he would never have come to ask for marriage.
Madam Liu noticed her husband's thoughts and held his hand tightly. "Why do you say that, my husband? I have never been valued in the mansion since I was a child. When I came to the Liu Mansion, my father-in-law treated me very well, and you treated me very well. Everyone in the mansion also respected me. No matter before or now, I have never regretted marrying into the Liu family."
Her tone was firm and her eyes were fixed on her husband, wanting him to know that even if something happened to the Liu family, she would always guard her father-in-law's tablet for her husband, waiting for him to return and for the family to be reunited.
Liu Xiangbai's eyes sparkled with tears. He hugged his wife tightly and promised: "I will definitely come back."
"I believe you."
A flash of white light passed by, and his wife's voice and appearance gradually blurred. Liu Xiangbai suddenly woke up!
He pulled off the blindfold. The reunion with his wife in the dream was too real, as if he had really seen them.
Liu Xiangbai's heart beat very fast. He hid the blindfold in his arms and held it tightly. His eyes, which used to be dim, glowed. He must return to Beijing!
At this time, in a small house far outside the capital, Mrs. Liu woke up from her dream, still calling for her husband.
When she saw everything in the room, she realized that she was dreaming again. A sense of loss spread from the bottom of her heart.
Her daughter woke up at some point and squatted beside her bed, watching her. When she saw her wake up, her bright eyes sparkled, "Mom, I dreamed that Daddy came home!"
Mrs. Liu was slightly startled. Her daughter had also dreamed about it?
Ever since the news of the exile team being robbed reached the capital, she had been worried. She always dreamed that her husband was in trouble and covered in blood.
Last night's dream seemed to be a guarantee of safety, which made her feel more at ease.
She pulled her daughter to sit on the bed and comforted her distressedly, "Your father is busy, he will definitely be back in a few days."
The little girl grinned, "Yes! My daughter believes that Daddy will come back!"
Mrs. Liu felt that this dream was very mysterious. Thinking about the fact that her husband mentioned the Lu family god in the dream, she decided to buy some incense and make some cakes as offerings. Even if the Lu family god was fictitious, she wanted to bless her husband to be safe and sound.
The system reminded him that Gu Xingzhao felt really painful when he learned that Madam Liu had set up an altar to burn incense for him.
She flashed into a small courtyard. The young lady had placed a small table in the courtyard. There were incense sticks in the incense burner. There were not many offerings, just two kinds of cakes. It was obvious that the family was indeed in financial difficulty.
Although he could not receive any offering value, Gu Xingzhao was moved by the lady's sincerity. Well, it was just something that happened conveniently.
She took a piece of paper, carefully wrapped up the two cakes, put them in her hand, left a note, and left gracefully.
"Mom is missing!" the little girl exclaimed and ran around the small table.
She had been waiting to eat since just now, staring at the pastries on the table, and suddenly, they were all gone!
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and quickly got up from the ground, only to see that the two plates of pastries on the table had disappeared, and a note was left on the table: I will deliver the food to Liu Xiangbai on your behalf, just thank you in your heart, you are not a member of the Lu family, so you don't have to offer me offerings.
Holding the note, Mrs. Liu pinched herself with trembling hands, and tears welled up in her eyes from the pain. It was true!
Last night's dream was true, and her husband was safe and sound.
She pulled her daughter to kneel on the ground again, kowtowed several times, and choked up, "Thank you, God, for your protection and for guarding my husband!"
The little girl didn't know what was going on, but when she saw her mother kowtow, she followed suit, staring at the table with curious eyes. What made her happy was that two pieces of cakes that had disappeared suddenly appeared again, neatly placed on the plate.
The little girl's eager eyes were so pitiful that she looked as if her saliva was about to flow down. Gu Xingzhao couldn't resist her pitiful look, so he opened the paper package, took out two pieces and put them back on the plate.
She reached out and touched the little guy's head, laughing, "What a greedy little cat."
The little girl was so scared that she grabbed her mother's arm and said, "Mom, someone touched my head!"
She hid behind Madam Liu in fear, with only half of her head showing. Her big watery eyes were still thinking about the two cakes on the table.
Mrs. Liu cried with joy and comforted her daughter, "Silly child, that is a god."
"Bless our good gods."
Seeing that it was getting late and she had to go back to modern times to get the car, Gu Xingzhao could not delay any longer and left with the cakes and teleported to the vicinity of the exile team. She attached a note to the paper-wrapped cakes and put them in the bamboo basket, and then Lu Qing said something.
"Lu Qing, Liu Xiangbai's wife made some cakes. I put them in a bamboo basket. You can have someone deliver them to him when you have time. It can be considered a thought."
Lu Qing was surprised: How did the ancestor know Liu Xiaoji's wife?
Gu Xingzhao explained, "Last night I saw that he missed his wife, so I fulfilled his wish and let him meet his wife and daughter in his dream. His wife got up early in the morning to make cakes for me. I thought about it and decided to send it to him."
After all, pastries are ordinary to him, but these are made by Liu Xiangbai's wife, and only in his hands do they become precious.
Lu Qing understood what the ancestor meant, and said that when the team rested, he would definitely deliver the things to Liu Xiangbai in good condition.
Back in the modern era, Gu Xingzhao packed up, took a taxi, and prepared to go to the city to pick up the car he had bought a few days ago.
When she was leaving, she ran into Lin Ting, who was only wearing a thin sweater and brought soup to her. Seeing Gu Xingzhao locking the door, he stopped where he was, his knuckles red from the cold, "Sister, are you going out?"
Gu Xingzhao nodded, "I bought a car and I'm going to pick it up now."
Her eyes fell on the bowl of soup in Lin Ting's hand, and she licked her lips unconsciously, "Cover the soup first, and I'll come back later to drink it."
Hearing that Gu Xingzhao bought a car, Lin Ting's mouth curled up, and she was sincerely happy for her, "Sister, congratulations."
Having grown up with Gu Xingzhao, he knew very well how much buying a car or a house meant to her.
Gu Xingzhao smiled and glanced at his phone. The taxi should be arriving soon. "How about you put the soup away and come with me to take a look?"
Lin Ting was slightly stunned. What were he looking at? The car?
Seeing his flat reaction, Gu Xingzhao raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why, you're not interested?"
She thought all boys were interested in cars, but it seemed that Lin Ting was an exception.
Lin Ting immediately took the soup home, put it away, and ran out with his coat in his pocket, walking two steps at a time, and got on the car right after Gu Xingzhao got on.
Sitting in the back row, Gu Xingzhao laughed out loud. It seemed that Lin Ting was no exception.
Lin Ting didn't know what Gu Xingzhao was laughing at. His mind was in a state of confusion and his ears felt hot. He was not interested in cars. He just wanted to be with her at her important moment.
