Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

After Madam Lu left, Fifth Concubine Wang took a thick cotton quilt from a box and covered Shen Hao with it.

Listening to the howling northwest wind outside, Fifth Concubine Wang muttered to herself:

"Isn't this too thin?"

Then, she took out another blanket and covered Shen Hao with it.

After tucking Shen Hao in, Fifth Concubine looked at Shen Hao's handsome face and her heart skipped a beat.

I've never seen such a handsome man before.

Then, she gently stroked Shen Hao's face.

Shen Hao was taken aback. What was this woman up to?

Smelling the fragrance emanating from the fifth concubine's hands, Xiao Shenhao, regardless of the occasion, gave a slight salute to show his respect.

For the past ten days or so, Shen Hao hadn't touched any women, which made him like dry tinder.

Unexpectedly, this fifth concubine is going to cause trouble again.

Wang's hand moved down the blanket.

Suddenly, Wang blushed and pinched him.

Sensing the stone's movement, and thinking that Shen Hao was interested, she hurriedly withdrew her hand in fright. After looking around and seeing that Shen Hao did not react, she took a deep breath, closed the door, and went out.

Hearing the door close, Shen Hao was speechless.

They only care about starting the fire, not putting it out.

If you can't manage, you can at least find a maid to come in and warm your feet.

The next day, Zhang Zuolin woke up early in the morning with a terrible headache.

It took most of the morning for me to feel better.

They found the box belonging to the deceased First Madam Zhao, which was originally intended for military expenses. However, now that Shen Hao had come to propose marriage, Zhang Zuolin planned to give the silver notes to Shen Hao as a dowry.

I can't let my daughter be looked down upon after she gets married.

When they opened it, there wasn't a single silver note inside.

His face turned ashen with anger. This box had always been kept by Xiao Liuzi, and now that the silver notes inside were missing, he must have stolen them.

He thought to himself, "That brat Xiao Liu must have stolen it."

"Damn it, you didn't give me a good beating yesterday, you brat, are you itching for a beating? Bring me Little Six here!"

Fifth concubine Wang entered with a smile, carrying a bowl of hangover soup.

"What's wrong with you, sir? Why are you so irritable so early in the morning?"

"What's wrong? I have 80,000 silver notes in this box, which were originally intended for military pay."

"Now that it's the first time, isn't that girl getting married? So I'm going to take out the money and give it to her as a dowry, at least to prevent her from being bullied in the Shen family."

Fifth concubine Wang exclaimed in surprise, "That's 80,000 taels of silver! Is Master really willing to part with it?"

"You woman, you're all talk and no action. 8 taels may be a lot, but compared to Shen Hao's alliance, it's nothing."

After Zhang Zuolin finished speaking, he felt his mouth was dry and drank the hangover soup in one gulp.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Bring that brat Xiao Liu here. I want my money back from him."

Fifth concubine Wang said with a smile, "Master, don't worry, I'll go right away."

As she spoke, the fifth concubine picked up the empty bowl, smiled, swayed her slender waist, turned around, and closed the door.

Then, he said to the maids:

"Someone, bring Xiao Liu Zi here."

"Yes"

They searched the entire Zhang residence but couldn't find Xiao Liuzi.

Fifth concubine Wang became anxious and hurriedly told Zhang Zuolin.

"You mean that brat Xiao Liuzi has disappeared?"

"Yes, the bed was cold, so it's obvious that I've been gone for a while. I searched the entire Zhang residence but couldn't find it."

We've searched the surrounding streets, but we haven't seen anyone."

Zhang Zuolin, who was getting dressed, suddenly frowned and called Zhang Zuoxiang.

Upon receiving the news, Zhang Zuoxiang rushed over without stopping.

They also realized the seriousness of the situation.

He immediately ordered his soldiers to search for it.

"Find him! How can a living person just disappear?"

Even if you have to search every inch of Fengtian, you must find it for me.

"Yes"

The servants throughout the Zhang household were also running around in a hurry.

The noise woke Shen Hao, who had been wanting to stay in bed even though it was chilly outside.

But judging from the situation outside, something must have happened.

So, I forced myself to put on my clothes despite the chill.

He opened the door and said to the guard at the entrance:

"What happened? Why is it such a mess?"

The guard hurriedly reported, "Commander, it seems the eldest young master of the Zhang family has gone missing!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Hao nodded and stopped asking questions.

I thought something had happened, but it turns out Xiao Liu had just run away.

As for his safety, Shen Hao wasn't too worried.

Historically, Xiao Liuzi was a long-lived person who had heard Jay Chou's songs.

They'll live a long life; nothing will happen to them.

However, since the other person's own son had gone missing, Shen Hao couldn't make any sarcastic remarks. He pretended to be serious and said to the guard:

"You guys should also go and help look for it."

"Yes, sir."

Just as Zhang Zuolin was in a state of utter distress, the phone suddenly rang.

Zhang Zuoxiang, who was standing next to him, quickly answered the phone.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Zhang Zuoxiang's tense face finally relaxed.

· ····Requesting flowers····· ·······

He turned around and smiled, "Yuting, good news! Xiao Liu has been found, so you don't need to worry anymore. Xiao Liu is alright."

Zhang Zuolin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but asked with a stern face, "Oh, who made the call just now?"

"He's Xiao Liu's cousin."

He said that Xiao Liuzi had boarded a train in the morning and fled to Harbin.

They happened to meet them on the train, and fearing that Xiao Liuzi might be in danger, they took him back.

Zhang Zuolin nodded, a smile returning to his face. "Damn it, that brat, he's always causing me trouble. I'll deal with him when we get back."

Zhang Zuoxiang hurriedly advised, "Yuting, I think it's best not to hit the child."

The reason Xiao Liu ran away is probably because you hit him too hard yesterday, which made him resentful.

Zhang Zuolin, standing at the door, paused for a moment, recalling the time he fled with Xiao Liuzi's mother.

..... ......... 0

Xiao Liuzi's mother, Zhao, gave birth to him in a carriage.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zuolin also felt a little guilty.

He felt guilty towards the Zhao family.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Okay, I'll listen to you and not fight."

Zhang Zuoxiang, who was standing to the side, also smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, Yuting, Xiao Liu's cousin said he'll take Xiao Liu by train this afternoon to bring him back, so you don't need to worry."

"You brat, who the hell is worried about him? Come on, let's go see if Ah Hao has woken up yet."

"This brat stole my 80,000 taels of silver. Otherwise, would I have cared about him?"

Zhang Zuoxiang was also somewhat surprised, not expecting that Xiao Liuzi would be so bold as to steal so much money.

Eighty thousand silver notes—that's a month's salary for the entire division.

In the living room, Shen Hao was warming himself by the fire.

Zhang Zuolin walked in with a smile.
