Lin Wan looked at Zhou Chengkuan's relieved gaze, smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "I have only seen her once at the Qixi banquet, and I can't talk about my best friend." It was only during www.biquge.info the calligraphy competition that she wrote the word 'wish' and said such a sentence in public. Except for the harem and the Lu Mansion, Lu Manyi usually doesn't go out, and she rarely even attends banquets, so I guess the person she said is you. ”

Zhou Chengkuan sighed lightly, shook his head, and said lightly: "I owe her a favor, but I am not her lover, and I also hope that she can be well." After Wan'er returns to the capital, if she has the opportunity, help her. ”

Lin Wan nodded, smiled, and said, "Brother Chengkuan, if you really don't want to use your life to pay her back, then let it go." I will help you pay back the favors you owe. ”

Zhou Chengkuan laughed and said, "Okay, then I owe you a favor, let the apocalypse help me pay it back." ”

Lin Wan frowned, shook his head and smiled: "That's not good, the apocalypse owes me, he can't pay it off in his life." You owe me a favor, you have to pay it back yourself! You have become my eldest brother, and you will not be able to run away for the rest of your life, and if anyone bullies me in the future, you will help me out!"

Zhou Chengkuan laughed again, nodded, and said, "Okay, my big brother won't be in vain, I will definitely help you get ahead!"

While the brother and sister were talking and laughing, they were already almost at Songzhu Courtyard. There was a person standing at the gate of Songzhu Courtyard, who was waiting anxiously, and when he saw Lin Wan coming back, the man hurriedly greeted him.

The person who came was Uncle Hu, and I saw that he was worried, and said anxiously as he walked: "Miss Lin, the city lord asked you to go to the old general." ”

Lin Wan was shocked and asked, "Is Grandpa Qi sick again?"

Uncle Hu shook his head and said, "No, the old general was fine when I left, but he was very angry, the city lord had already rushed over, saying that he would let you go too." ”

Lin Wan nodded and said, "Okay, let's go." ”

Zhou Chengkuan's expression was solemn, and he also followed Lin Wan to General Qi's courtyard and walked quickly.

Lin Wan cautiously walked into the courtyard gate, the courtyard was quiet, General Qi was standing in the courtyard with his back to the door, Qi Rubao and Zhong Rong'er stood behind him with their heads down, and on the ground were smashed tea bowls, tea leaves and broken porcelain.

Uncle Hu reported in a low voice: "Old general, Miss Lin is here." ”

Old General Qi turned around slowly, his eyes stared straight at Lin Wan's body, his thick eyebrows were upside down, and his voice was like a Hong Zhong: "Wan girl, you say, how are the people of the Xue family now?"

Lin Wan's eyes lowered, and he replied respectfully: "Grandpa Qi, the Xue family is very good now, Second Uncle Xue has returned to the Xue Mansion, and he will take care of the Xue family's business, and the Xue family will only get better and better in the future." ”

Old General Qi asked angrily, "What about Xue Baokun and Xue Lian's girl?"

Lin Wan raised his head, met the angry eyes of Old General Qi, and asked with a face full of grievances: "Grandpa Qi, compared with the lives of the 200,000 army and the well-being of the people in the city, are Xue Baokun and Xue Lian, the two unfilial descendants of Grandpa Xue, so important? What's more, if they can take care of themselves, the money they took away is enough for them to live a lifetime." What's more, the trouble they caused and the mess they left behind, we are cleaning up the aftermath for them. ”

Old General Qi's chest rose and fell violently, and he couldn't speak. Uncle Hu hurriedly stepped forward and helped him to the table and sat down.

Lin Wan saw that General Qi was so angry that he hurriedly walked to his side, knelt in front of his knees, and asked with concern, "Grandpa Qi, are you okay?"

Zhong Rong'er also walked over quickly, knelt beside Lin Wan, shook General Qi's arm, and begged: "Grandpa Qi, it's all our fault, don't be angry." ”

When General Qi saw the two little girls kneeling in front of him, he was so anxious that he was about to cry, his heart softened, and he sighed and said, "What kind of face do you let me have in the future to see my old brother who has worked hard for me all his life!"

Lin Wan shook his head and said, "Grandpa Qi, you are wrong. If Grandpa Xue was still here, would he watch Xue Baokun do something sorry for the Eastern Qi army and the people of Lianbi City? Will Grandpa Xue connive at them because they are his own sons and granddaughters, and let them ruin his foundation for decades, and ruin the army and city that you have guarded together for decades?"

When General Qi heard this, his heart was shocked, his eyes widened, his mouth opened, and he couldn't speak.

Lin Wan continued to persuade softly: "Grandpa Qi, Second Uncle Xue is also the son of Grandpa Xue, although he is a concubine, he is also the bloodline of the Xue family. According to Wan'er's eyes, Second Uncle Xue is more like Grandpa Xue's son, and he is more suitable to be the head of the Xue family. There are capable people in the world who live in it, so why should they be subject to their backgrounds? What's more, when Second Uncle Xue was kicked out of the Xue family, the property he took away was much less than what Xue Baokun took away now. ”

Not long after Mrs. Xue died, Xue Baokun drove Xue Baoliang's family out of Xue's mansion, and General Qi was also persuaded at that time. But Xue Baokun said that since the family had already been separated, and his father was no longer there, it was only a matter of time before he lived separately.

Xue Baoliang had no objections at that time, and left the Xue Mansion with his wife, concubine, and two shops under his name, and never accepted the help of the Xue family or the Qi family over the years. When the days were at their worst, the concubines all ran away, leaving him and his wife to rely on each other.

General Qi has always known about these, but all the concubines of all families have always lived like this, and he didn't care too much. Now that he heard Lin Wan say it, he felt that it seemed that it was indeed too unfair to Xue Baoliang.

General Qi sighed lightly and said to Qi Rubao: "It's okay." Leopard, you send someone to secretly follow Xue Baokun and their father and daughter, don't let them suffer too much outside, if you can help, help them. ”

Qi Rubao nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes, father." ”

Zhou Chengkuan hurriedly said: "Grandpa Qi, Chengkuan has already sent someone to follow them, and they have all explained clearly, don't worry." ”

Old General Qi nodded, patted Lin Wan's hand, and said, "Wan girl, Grandpa Qi didn't blame you, Grandpa Qi knows in his heart that you did the right thing, we should all thank you, Grandpa Qi just couldn't think about it for a while, and let you be wronged." Child, get up!" said that, holding Lin Wan with one hand and Zhong Rong'er with the other, he pulled both of them to sit down on the stool beside him.

Zhong Rong'er wiped the tears on her face and asked coquettishly: "Grandpa Qi, you don't blame Rong'er, do you?" Rong'er didn't mean to hide it from you, she was afraid that you would be sad and sad if she found out, so she didn't tell you. ”

Old General Qi smiled slightly, shook his head and said, "No blame, no blame, you are all good boys." After speaking, he turned his head and asked Lin Wandao: "I've been sick for half a year, and they have hidden everything from me, Wan girl, tell me, what happened, and what did you do?" )
