Three Kingdoms: Madam, I am a decent person

Chapter 346 Yuan Shu's letter for help
Zhang Sui watched Yuan Mi leave before crawling into bed.

He hasn't slept well these past few days and really needs some rest.

Yuan Mi left the room and went straight to Yuan Shao's room.

Yuan Shao lay on the bed, his eyes wandering, no one knew what he was thinking.

Seeing Yuan Mi coming in, Yuan Shao turned around, facing the bed, and said in a hoarse voice: "Daughter, your father wants to have a good rest these days, you go to do your things."

Yuan Mi sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Yuan Shao in such a state, and sighed: "Who wouldn't be sad about the death of the third brother?"

"Third brother has no children yet!"

"This branch of his is about to be wiped out."

Yuan Shao opened his eyes wide, his eye sockets somewhat red.

Now I cannot have family relations with my parents. One of my three sons has died, so I have one less offspring.

Especially the third son, who looks the most like himself.

Before, this third son had always been by his side.

Others are afraid of themselves.

Only the third son was not afraid. He always stayed around him and called him "Daddy".

For his sake, she even allowed him to recognize Liu as his mother.

Now, he died like this.

Thinking of every little thing about his third son, Yuan Shao felt tears welling up uncontrollably.

Yuan Mi sat on the edge of the bed, listening to Yuan Shao sobbing, and felt a little uncomfortable.

As far as she could remember, her father had never cried.

Even when Dong Zhuo killed all the other members of the Yuan family, he did not cry, but just sat there in a daze.

Yuan Mi also shed tears and choked up, saying, "The dead cannot be resurrected."

"Besides, Dad, you did your best."

"My third brother made such a big mistake, and Dad has always wanted to save his life."

"But, as your son, Daddy, and Daddy has expanded the territory so much, it is understandable that he got into trouble."

"Dad, you are no longer alone."

"You are still the lord of all the civil and military officials and aristocratic families in Hebei."

"Whether you like it or not, some things, once they happen, cannot be changed."

Yuan Shao wiped his tears with both hands, took a deep breath and said: "Your mother died young, and I once promised her that no matter how glorious and successful I will be in the future, I will protect you."

"I even swore to protect you kids until you die."

"Now, Shang'er died at such a young age. When I see your mother in the afterlife, how will I explain this to her?"

"Besides, Shang'er died young and left no offspring."

"I--"

Yuan Mi patted his back gently and said, "Regarding the issue of offspring, I have just discussed it with my husband."

"The second son born to me and him was adopted by my third brother."

Yuan Shao then turned around, a grim look flashed across his tear-stained face as he asked, "Did he teach you that?"

Yuan Mi shook her head and lied, "No, I mentioned it to him."

"I couldn't bear to see you sad, Dad, and I couldn't bear to see my third brother die without an heir, so I mentioned this to him."

"Also, Liu also found me last night and cried to me."

"Liu is as heartbroken as Daddy about the death of my third brother."

"My husband also saw Liu looking for me."

"So, when I mentioned it to him, he agreed without much hesitation."

"Dad, my husband is a very filial man who loves his daughter very much. Don't always think the worst of him."

"Dad, you are so wary of him, have you ever thought about what your daughter thinks?"

"When I saw him leading the charge yesterday and fighting the city defense troops, my heart was broken."

"What if something happens to him? What will happen to your daughter and the baby in her belly?" Yuan Shao wiped the tears from his face with both hands and said, "I don't think so."

"I like him, too."

"Otherwise, would I let a farmer's son marry my favorite daughter?"

"I'm just afraid that he's too young and could be taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives."

"If he really wants to adopt you and his second son to Shang'er, then that would be the best."

"You and Shang'er are siblings, you are all family."

Yuan Mi hummed and said, "I think so too."

"But if Daddy disagrees, you can always tell me."

"Adoption is a big deal."

"In fact, if my husband didn't love me, he wouldn't have agreed."

Only then did Yuan Shao sigh softly.

Yuan Mi hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Father, are you worried that my husband might get involved in the fight for the crown prince in the future?"

Yuan Shao shook his head and said guiltily: "How can that be possible?"

Yuan Mi sneered and said, "Daddy, I'm your daughter. How could I not know what you think?"

"What I want to say is that even if your husband is not good enough, he is closer to you than your eldest cousin, right?"

"What blood relationship do you have with my eldest cousin? Why is he able to be the governor of Bingzhou? And my husband is my daughter's man, why is my daughter's man not qualified?"

Yuan Shao's face darkened and he said, "A daughter who is married off is like spilled water."

Yuan Mi suppressed the anger rising in her heart and said in a deep voice: "What I can say is that even if my husband has ambitions, I will not let him do such a thing!"

"He can't do it, and neither can my eldest cousin!"

"But your grandson can!"

"Of course, if you don't want this grandson, that's fine."

"I will go back and tell my husband not to be so kind!"

"If Third Brother really wants to be childless, that's his own fate!"

After saying that, Yuan Mi stood up and left.

Yuan Shao looked at Yuan Mi's leaving back for a long while before he sighed heavily.

His heart was also extremely complicated.

What my daughter said does make sense.

Moreover, it best meets his expectations.

Even if a family member is adopted by Shang'er as his descendant, he is still a family member after all.

Even if I die in the future, the child will still recognize his ancestors, after all, the blood of my Yuan family is still flowing in his body.

But why is it that there is always a sense of sadness that power has fallen into the hands of others?

Just as Yuan Shao was immersed in grief, a voice came from outside: "My lord, there is an urgent letter from Huainan!"

It was the voice of the military inspector Ju Su!

Yuan Shao forced himself to cheer up, sat up, and said to the outside: "Come in!"

The door opened and Ju Su walked in quickly.

When they came to a place not far from the bed, Ju Su pulled out a bloody handkerchief from his sleeve, handed it to him and said, "This was sent by an urgent messenger sent by Yuan Shu."

"Last year there was a severe drought and the land in Huainan was full of starving people."

"Cao Cao has joined forces with Lü Bu of Xuzhou, Chen Yu of Guangling, Liu Biao of Jingzhou, and Sun Ce of Jiangdong. The five armies are preparing to encircle and suppress the enemy."

"Yuan Shu had no choice but to store grain and grass from various places in Shouchun."

"Yuan Shu asks you to send troops to rescue him immediately. He is willing to give you the imperial seal as a gift."

Yuan Shao took the handkerchief and glanced at it.

Hearing Ju Su's words, Yuan Shao's eyes lit up and he asked, "The Imperial Seal? What do you think, Lord Ju?"
