The hall fell into silence.

After a while, Yang Huazhong sighed heavily.

"After all...it was Yongxian who failed you. If Yongxian comes back alive and kicking, then your third aunt and I will try our best to persuade you. We hope that he will turn around and change his ways to live with you."

"But now he's like that. He has to be taken care of when he eats, drinks, and has sex. We really can't open that door and ask you to stay..."

Liao Meiying cried and shook her head: "Third uncle, I, Liao Meiying, am not the kind of person who is unwilling to share joys and sorrows. I can serve him, feed him, scrub him, and take care of him properly. But, if he does something like that, I

It makes my heart feel cold, I really don’t want to see him anymore!”

Yang Huazhong nodded: "Understood, we all understand."

"Thank you, uncle and aunt, for your understanding." Mother Liao also wiped her tears in gratitude.

The woman glanced at her daughter with distress, "My daughter doesn't know what kind of evil destiny she has. The man she was engaged to before also secretly went somewhere to get married."

"She was so stupid that she didn't know it. She went to her future husband's house every now and then to serve her parents-in-law. She did this for several years."

"It wasn't until later that my parents-in-law couldn't stand it anymore and told her the truth..."

"My daughter's heart has died once. She was deceived so miserably. She originally married into the old Yang family because Yang Yongxian was a scholar, knowledgeable about books and etiquette. The old Yang family has good family rules, and your third room has had several children.

A noble man..."

"I didn't expect that Yongxian would be like this again. My daughter's heart was broken. She didn't want to live in the past few days. We used our grandson to persuade her..."

Sun's eye circles were already red, "Mei Ying, this kid, is really having a hard life."

After the Liao family talked to Yang Huazhong for a while, Bao Suyun and Cao Bamei also arrived after hearing the news.

Everyone lamented for a while, and finally accompanied the Liao family to the old house.

Father Liao and mother Liao went to see Yang Yongxian. Liao Meiying originally wanted mother Liao to help pack two bags of clothes for herself and her children, but she stayed at Yang Huazhong's house to wait.

Liao's mother was worried that she didn't know the location of the boxes and clothes, so Liao Meiying had no choice but to follow her to the old house.

Old house.

Jin is feeding Yang Yongxian fish soup.

The fish was brought over by Yang Yongzhi in the morning. A crucian carp was boiled into a thick white soup. Yang Yongxian couldn't eat, he could only drink, so Jin sat beside the bed, put a piece of dirty clothes under Yang Yongxian's neck, and fed her patiently.

.

Old Yang pushed the wheelchair and sat beside the bed, watching silently. The old man's old hand, like a withered branch, held Yang Yongxian's hand tightly.

"Yongxian, please wake up soon. I'm getting old. I'm afraid I won't be able to wait much longer. Okay, please wake up soon. I beg you..."

Jin is a deaf-mute, unable to hear or speak, so Old Yangtou dared to speak his own words without any scruples.

Unexpectedly, the sound of chaotic footsteps suddenly came from the door behind him.

Old Yang turned his head in surprise and saw Yang Huazhong and several people cheering into the house.

Sun Shi, Bao Suyun, Cao Bamei, and Liao Meiying.

The moment he saw his eldest grandson's wife coming back, Old Yang's eyes lit up.

He was worried about who would serve Yang Yongxian. Although this Jin family was sincere to Yongxian, he was also patient in serving him.

But Jin's family is sloppy, and Yongxian has always loved cleanliness. The soup and water were not authentic, and Old Yangtou had long been dissatisfied.

But if other daughters-in-law and granddaughter-in-laws are allowed to serve, not only will it be impossible to open the door, but it will also be inconvenient to differentiate between men and women.

Now the eldest granddaughter-in-law is back!

The old man was about to happily ask her if she was back to serve Yongxian, but then he saw the middle-aged couple following Liao Meiying.

Old Yangtou's face instantly darkened, and his hands clenched into fists!

…

Wuchao Lake.

A layer of mist covers the surface of Wuchao Lake.

This is the fog in the morning. Although it is only a thin mist, it will still affect the sight of navigation.

"Straight bitch, even God can help me..." Lu Zhanlong raised the water-splitting thorn in his hand and shouted.

Then, he turned sideways and said: "By the way, military advisor, you mentioned before about finding a family background, please elaborate on it again."

It is impossible to say that Lu Zhanlong was not moved at all. In the early days, every time he got drunk, he thought that one day he would be able to live a stable life instead of being a water thief all his life.

Is it possible to let his wife and children become water pirates for the rest of their lives?

If you can eat in peace, that's fine, but as Daqi gradually stabilizes, the situation becomes calmer, and people's minds calm down, how can you be a water pirate for a long time?

Lu Zhanlong is not a bastard. He has studied. No one knows that he was once a child.

He read history and found out throughout the dynasties that there was no dynasty with a loyal person who had been a thief for a long time.

There are only three endings. First, it is annexed by other water pirates.

Second, he was wiped out by the imperial court.

Third, surrender to the imperial court and change official status.

After much deliberation, there is only one best outcome, and that is to surrender to the imperial court.

In the history of Wuchao Lake, there have been many examples of great water pirates transforming themselves into marquises. There are many such examples in the Southern Dynasties hundreds of years ago, and in dynasties even longer ago.

Because when military advisor Yan Shushan said this, he was quite moved.

"Master, this is an excellent opportunity. If the imperial court is too strong and we collapse at the first touch, then we don't have the capital to talk to the imperial court. Now that the imperial navy is weak, we can just show off our strength and gain a higher status.

, it is most likely that my subordinates are willing to serve as envoys to talk to the imperial court." Yan Shushan said immediately.

He mentioned it before, but the boss, Lu Zhanlong, ignored him and said nothing.

I thought I was annoyed by the boss, but unexpectedly, things took a turn for the worse... It turned out that the boss also had this idea.

This is also normal.

Establishing a successful career and establishing a wife as a wife are the standard features of a man who pursues his goals.

"Then let's have a good fight first. Let's take it easy and save some face for the baby admiral." Lu Zhanlong paced back and forth, and finally shook his hands and made up his mind.

"The boss is wise, and his subordinates are willing to do the hard work of dogs and horses." Yan Shushan was overjoyed.

"Okay, military advisor, you don't have to drag us out. Let's proceed as planned."

Lu Zhanlong strode forward and began to order the flag bearers to play the flag.

If you want to command seven ships, you must use semaphores.

The ship Lu Zhanlong was on was the flagship. The flag bearers used flags of different colors and waved them in different postures, representing different meanings.

The entire set of semaphores is basically universal, with at most some minor changes, but in major aspects they are similar.
