The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general
Chapter 33: Wind, Fire and Gu Anqing
After returning to the Gu Mansion, Lin Qiuer and her two siblings went straight back to the courtyard where they lived last night.
Lin Qiu'er sat tiredly in the chair. Just as she was about to relax her muscles, she saw Gu Anqing walking in at an incredibly fast speed with a cane.
"Mr. Gu, is there anything wrong?" Lin Qiu'er asked puzzledly.
Shouldn't he be dealing with the affairs of the young wife of the housekeeper Zhong at this time? What happened that made him rush here in such a hurry?
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Gu Anqing's face. Could he tell her that he rushed here in a hurry because he heard the servants report that Miss Lin was crying miserably?
"Why did Brother Lin have a conflict with someone?" He tried to change the subject. Although it was a little difficult, as long as he could divert her attention, it would be fine.
Lin Qiuer glanced at Lin Nanye and motioned for him to answer the question.
Lin Nanye, who was standing by, noticed Gu Anqing's anxiety, but the target was not himself, but his younger sister.
But the younger sister, who was involved, didn't notice anything at all.
Lin Nanye chuckled and deliberately put on a gloomy face, saying, "I met my sister's ex-fiancé, and he was actually entangled with other women. Sister, the men outside are really not good people. You should listen to your third brother and find a man in the village. In this way, if he dares to bully you, everyone in the village will beat him to death."
Gu Anqing originally felt sorry for Lin Qiuer being abandoned, but after hearing Lin Nanye's words, he felt even more upset.
"That man is just an exception. Good men are everywhere."
Lin Nanye sneered in his heart: Are you talking about yourself?
"What kind of good men are those outside? Are there any men in our village who are faithful to one woman? Are there any who are not traitors?"
Lin Qiuer blinked her eyes, looked at Gu Anqing and then at Lin Nanye. Why are these two people so weird?
No matter whether they are in the village or outside the village, what do those men have to do with her? She has no interest in men now.
The peaceful days may be ruined. There are all kinds of bad things happening every day. How can she have the time to care about the good or bad of men?
"Mr. Gu, have you found out the origin and daily activities of Butler Zhong's young wife?" Lin Qiu'er was still concerned about the origin of the millipede. Naturally, she would not forget the young wife who was related to the insect.
Gu Anqing coughed lightly, a trace of unnaturalness flashed across his face, and he said, "Uncle Zhong's young wife is the daughter of a small family in the county town. She was bullied when she was out playing, and Uncle Zhong happened to pass by and lent a hand, and the young wife chose him and married him."
"Isn't this too much of a coincidence? He was bullied outside and just happened to save someone. This is obviously a trap. Maybe people set it up on purpose to lure him into it." Lin Qiu'er didn't believe this was true at all.
After all, a young and beautiful lady fell from the sky, but she chose to marry an old man instead of a young man. It would be strange if there was no ghost.
Lin Nanye sneered and said sarcastically, "Maybe Butler Zhong was attracted by her beauty and they hit it off. Little sister, there are no good men out there, and this is a living example."
Gu Anqing's face turned pale, and he couldn't say anything else to support his claim.
"Third brother, let's talk about business. Don't make trouble." Lin Qiuer held her forehead with her hand. Why did her third brother become a little nervous after the Liantie incident?
"Mr. Gu, please continue." Lin Qiu'er turned to Gu Anqing and smiled like a blooming flower.
Lin Nanye stared at Gu Anqing, and when he saw an unnatural expression flash across his face, he immediately snorted coldly.
Hearing that cold snort, Gu Anqing's expression instantly became serious and then returned to normal.
He sat upright on the chair, staring straight at Lin Qiu'er, and said, "I also feel that something is not right. However, after that person got married, she has been staying in the yard, rarely going out, and even rarely going back to her parents' home."
After hearing this, Lin Qiuer asked Gu Anqing, "It's understandable that you don't go out often, but don't you think it's strange that you don't go back to your mother's house very often?" Seeing Gu Anqing's puzzled expression, she could only ask her brothers for help, "Third and fourth brothers, do you think it's strange that you don't go back to your mother's house?"
"Of course it's strange. After the girls in our village get married, even if they live in the village, they still like to go back to their parents' home." Lin Nanyue said quickly.
Lin Nanye also nodded and added: "Even if someone marries outside the village, they basically come back to the village once every half a decade. So it's strange that someone doesn't go back to their parents' home after getting married."
After Lin Qiu'er got the affirmation from her two brothers, she turned to Gu Anqing and said, "Look. There must be something wrong with that little lady."
Gu Anqing's family only has boys, and she has no brothers or sisters around her. She had no idea that a married woman would always return to her parents' home.
He asked puzzledly: "Then why is it abnormal not to go home?"
Lin Qiu'er didn't expect Gu Anqing to ask this, so in order to make him understand the problem, she could only explain patiently, "After getting married, you have to work hard, raise children, and take care of the family.
Going back to her parents' home can temporarily escape from the hardship and see familiar family members. This is a kind of spiritual comfort for a married woman. If it were you, would you want to suffer all the time and not go back to your parents' home to take a break from the hardship? "
After listening to Lin Qiuer's explanation, Gu Anqing suddenly understood: "So that's it."
"If that's the case, then something is really wrong. I'll talk to Uncle Zhong about this and ask him to ask the young lady indirectly."
Suddenly, Lin Qiu'er leaned over to Gu Anqing, which startled him. He leaned back and deliberately increased the distance between them.
“Mr. Gu, you know that we came to the county this time to look for my eldest brother, and you went to the Nalan Mountains to find antidote herbs for grandpa.
I have given the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill to your grandfather, but he has been poisoned for a long time, and it is impossible for him to recover immediately. However, he has taken the Hundred Flowers Detoxification Pill, and his life should be fine. "Lin Qiuer stared at Gu Anqing with sparkling eyes, "When can the people who help find my eldest brother be sent out?"
Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue also looked nervous. They knew what this meant. If they couldn't find their eldest brother, their sister-in-law at home would probably go crazy.
Gu Anqing looked serious and immediately replied, "Don't worry, Miss Qiu'er. When you were out, I had already sent people out to look for your elder brother. If there is any news next, they will send a message back to me at any time."
"So someone has already been sent out..." Lin Qiu'er was a little stunned. She had just misunderstood that Gu Anqing was just perfunctorily answering her questions, but she didn't expect that he had already sent someone out.
Thinking of what she had said and done just now, Lin Qiu'er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. She swallowed her dry throat and said a little embarrassedly, "Thank you, Master Gu. I am also worried about my eldest brother, and my third brother is having a very unhappy time with the post station. Bai Yicheng will definitely not try his best to help find someone. We can only rely on ourselves."
"Thank you, Mr. Gu!" Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue also bowed to express their gratitude.
"You're welcome, the three of you. This is what we agreed on in the beginning." Gu Anqing consoled calmly, "Don't worry, Miss Qiu'er. Your brother will be fine. I'll tell you as soon as I have any news."
Lin Qiu'er nodded gratefully, "Since Master Gu has already sent people out to look for Big Brother, then we will focus on helping Master Gu find the person in the mansion who poisoned your grandfather."
When it comes to business, Lin Qiu'er immediately becomes serious. "The commotion of removing Yin Yanghua from the Gu Mansion today was really too big. The person who poisoned it must have known about it. If it was really the young wife of Steward Zhong who did it, I think Master Gu should talk to Steward Zhong about this matter as soon as possible."
Gu Anqing tapped his fingers on the table lightly, his brows slightly furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
He knew in his heart that what Miss Qiu'er had just said was indeed very reasonable. He had asked the head of the guards to send someone to secretly watch the courtyard of Butler Zhong.
However, he couldn't tell Miss Qiu'er about this matter directly. After all, she was already worried enough.
"Miss Qiu'er, don't worry, I will go to talk to Uncle Zhong about this matter right away." Gu Anqing stood up, and after saying that, he hurried away again.
