Seven years ago, Shen Zhaoning was forced to divorce.
On the way out of Beijing, she found out she was pregnant, but was threatened by the prime minister's people: "If you dare to say that the child's surname is Huo, he will die."
She hid alone in a border town and raised her son by selling embroidery.
Xiaonian asked countless times: "Mom, where is my father?"
She always said: "Your father is an upright general. He will come back after the war."
Seven years later, there was a rebellion in the northwest, and Huo Qushi led his troops to station outside the town.
In the market, he saw a dirty boy fighting with someone with a wooden sword.
The child shouted: "My father is a general! None of you are allowed to bully my mother!"
Huo Qushi froze in place - that face was exactly the same as when he was a child.
Only then did he realize that the woman he had sent away with his own hands was carrying his flesh and blood in her belly.
And he owed them, mother and son, a full seven years.
