The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

Lin Qiu'er looked at Gu Anqing's hurriedly leaving back and couldn't help shaking her head, sighing: "It's true that having many brothers and sisters is a blessing! He is the only one in his family. If something happens, even if he is poisoned, he still has to run around."

"Little sister, why do you feel sorry for Master Gu?" Lin Nanye couldn't bear to watch, worried that his little sister was deceived by Gu Anqing. "He lives in such a big mansion, has so many servants to serve him, and has so many delicious foods and endless money to spend. Why do you feel sorry for him?"

Lin Qiu'er turned her head to look at Lin Nanye and sighed softly, "Third brother, I don't feel sorry for him. I just think he must be lonely living alone in such a big mansion, with no one to help him when something like this happened."

"Besides," Lin Nanyue added, "he just came to see you specially and promised to help find your brother. It shows that he is a man who keeps his promises."

Lin Nanye shrugged and said helplessly, "You guys are really blinded by one leaf. You can't listen to anything others say."

"That's right, you have nothing yourself. Why don't you look at yourself before you poke at other people's scars?" Lin Qiu'er glared at Lin Nanye angrily, and said with her hands on her hips, "Third brother, you have nothing either, why are you only talking about me?"

Seeing that his younger sister was really angry, Lin Nanye clasped his hands together and begged for mercy, "Little sister, it was Third Brother who was wrong. Everything Third Brother has is yours, please forgive Third Brother this time."

Seeing that the third brother had angered the younger sister, Lin Nanyue not only did not intend to help, but also added fuel to the fire, "Third brother, you are poor and not handsome. No girl in the village wants to marry you."

"Think before you speak next time!" Lin Nanye was speechless. Didn't this silly brother know that they looked exactly the same? Didn't he realize that his words also implied something to himself?

“Pfft, hahahaha…” Lin Qiu’er burst out laughing because Fourth Brother’s attempt to sow discord failed and ended up trapping her in the process. “Fourth Brother, you and Third Brother are the same. He can’t find a wife, and you’re not much better off.”

"If I can't marry a wife, then I can find a sworn brother to live with." Lin Nanyue was not worried at all.

Lin Qiuer’s smile froze.

"No! You can't find sworn brothers!" Lin Qiu'er is tolerant of others' attitude towards finding sworn brothers, but that doesn't mean she is willing to let her brothers do the same.

Lin Nanyue looked at Lin Qiuer with confusion, not understanding why she reacted so strongly. Wasn't this a very normal thing?

Lin Nanye was also surprised by Lin Qiuer's rejection and explained, "This is very normal. There are uncles living together in the village."

"No means no." Lin Qiu'er suddenly had an idea and came up with a reason that they couldn't object to. "There are so few people in our village. If you don't find a wife to marry, when there are no more babies born, the village will no longer exist."

"But there are too few women in our village. What should we do?" Lin Nanyue thought about it and realized what her younger sister said was true, so she asked with a frown.

Lin Qiu'er's eyes turned, and a little plan came to her mind, "We will open a shop in the county town, so that people who don't want to leave the village too far can find women in the county town or nearby to marry. In the future, we will open shops in other places and let unmarried men and women go to work. In our village, both men and women are capable and loyal, so how can we not find someone to marry?"

Lin Nanye nodded. It was indeed a good idea, but it felt a little off.

He said worriedly, "I always feel that this is not a decent way to do things."

Lin Qiu'er pouted, looking unhappy, "I don't care, you can't find sworn brothers anyway. All the uncles in the village who are looking for sworn brothers to live with must be driven out and find new wives to get married and have children.

"They are living with their adopted brothers because they can't find a woman to marry. If they marry a woman, who would want to continue their old life? Don't you think so?"

As brothers who dote on their sister crazily, how could Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue not agree to their sister's request?

Besides, if there is a chance to marry a woman, who would be willing to live with a sworn brother?

"Okay, okay, Third Brother promises you." Lin Nanye agreed repeatedly, his tone full of pampering and indulgence.

Lin Nanyue was not to be outdone, and immediately said, "Little sister, Fourth Brother will listen to you. From now on, I will find a wife to marry, and I won't look for an adopted brother anymore."

"That's better." Lin Qiu'er saw the two men give in, and the strange feeling in her heart disappeared.

She knew that it was common for men in this era to find sworn brothers to live with, after all, there were too few women in some places. But she just didn't want to meet someone who would make her feel wronged because there were too few women. If she couldn't find one here, she would go to various countries to look for one.

Only when the population is prosperous can we train our own team and enable the village to have the ability to resist foreign enemies.

The three of them sat together, and Lin Nanyue continued what she had just said halfway in the teahouse, telling Lin Qiuer that she suspected that a neighboring country wanted to harm the powerful and wealthy families in Nanyue Country, so they sent the Yinyang Flower all the way to Nanyue Country.

Later, he sent people with millipedes to poison them one by one, in order to achieve his conspiracy of controlling the entire Nanyue Kingdom.

Although Lin Nanye was smart, it was difficult for him to be like Lin Qiuer, who could deduce the neighboring country's conspiracy to harm Nanyue Country from one incident plus some gossip. He was very surprised, but he also admired his younger sister's intelligence.

"Little sister, how did you guess all this?" Lin Nanye asked curiously.

Lin Qiuer came back to her senses and glanced at Lin Nanyue and Lin Nanyue, "Ah? What were you talking about just now?" She was reading the diary of the previous witch doctor and was fascinated when she was interrupted by them.

"How do you guess that the neighboring country is plotting against Nanyue Kingdom behind the scenes?" Lin Nanye asked again.

Lin Qiu'er blinked her clear eyes and asked, "Is it hard to guess?"

"There are so many of us, but no one has thought of it. Do you think it's difficult?" Lin Nanye looked at Lin Nanyue who was watching the show on the side and said provocatively, "Fourth brother, have you guessed it?"

Lin Nanyue shook her head helplessly, and then said defensively: "Didn't Gu Anqing guess it all along?"

After hearing this, Lin Nanye couldn't help but look at Lin Qiu'er, with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes. He motioned for her to see who else had guessed the truth besides her?

“First of all, you see, Yinyang flower and millipede together can control people, and Yinyang flower has long been promoted by some people as having the effect of strengthening the body.

Anyone with a little power and money is more afraid of death than ordinary people. So these flowers are supplied to the powerful and wealthy.

It is said that almost every family of the powerful people in Nanyue Country now grows Yinyang flowers. If we bring the millipede, wouldn't it be easy to control these people?" Lin Qiuer explained it in detail to her third and fourth brothers, and asked at the end, "If this is not a conspiracy of the neighboring country, could it be that some bored person who has nothing to do did it for fun?"

"My little sister, you are absolutely right!" Lin Nanye was amazed at Lin Qiu'er's reasoning. He stroked Lin Qiu'er's hair gently, his eyes gleaming with admiration and love. "But, even if the neighboring country has some plans against Nanyue Country, we are 108,000 miles away from the Imperial City, so what does it have to do with us? How can you worry about these things?"

Lin Qiu'er sighed, shook her head slightly, and patted Lin Nanye's shoulder. "Third brother, you still don't understand. We have actually been involved in this dispute for a long time."

"When were we involved?" Brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue were surprised when they heard this.

"Take Lingao, a small county, for example. The assassins came in waves, and the murderer who killed my father and the assassin who hunted down Gu Anqing left wooden signs showing that they were from the same organization." Lin Qiu'er was worried that the two would think that this had nothing to do with them and accidentally reveal their flaws or fall into someone else's trap, so she explained, "In fact, Nalan Village has been targeted by someone for a long time."

When the murderer of their father was mentioned, the brothers Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue immediately became emotional, their hearts burning with anger, and they wanted to find the enemy immediately and fight to the death. Their eyes were filled with the flames of revenge.

Lin Qiu'er is concerned about the affairs of the young wife of housekeeper Zhong, while her two brothers are unable to calm down their anger because the murderer of their father is still secretly plotting against Nalan Village.

Gu Anqing still hadn't shown up until the three of them had finished their dinner.

"How about we go to Butler Zhong's courtyard and take a look?" Lin Qiuer suggested.

Lin Nanye and Lin Nanyue were both extremely angry at the moment and urgently needed to find something to divert their attention.

So the three of them quietly got up and went to Butler Zhong's courtyard together.
