The fighting at the city gate was soon quelled, and the fighting inside the city was basically over by nightfall.

When the smoke cleared, half of the Nalan Army quickly took off their battle robes, changed into civilian clothes, and devoted themselves to the post-war recovery of Yunyang Prefecture.

The actions of the Nalan Army surprised the entire Gu family army, but deep down they admired them very much. Not every army can achieve this.

After the fighting subsided, the Yu family's house in the city center became Lin Qiuer's residence in Yunyang City.

She washed off the blood, changed into new clothes, filled her stomach and had a good sleep.

The next day, after getting up and dealing with the paperwork, it was already noon. Lin Qiuer wanted to go out to see if there was anything to eat, so she left the house with two guards.

The siege of Yunyang City started quickly and ended quickly, so it did not cause much damage to the buildings and houses in the city.

Because Nalan Jun was tied up to help clean up, the braver shops have already opened their doors to attract customers.

The people on the street walked close to the walls of the shops on both sides of the street, looking around with a look of panic.

Lin Qiuer looked around as she walked and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

Miss Yu had gained some weight compared to two years ago, but her appearance had not changed. She had a gentle smile on her face and was saying something to the boy beside her with her head down.

"Mom! Wait for me." A little girl with two buns ran out of the shop, ran towards Miss Yu, and hugged her other leg.

A group of old women and maids ran out in a hurry, and began to bow their heads in greeting when they arrived in front of Miss Yu. When Miss Yu and the two young children got into the carriage, no one dared to raise their heads.

Miss Yu's carriage left, and Lin Qiu'er was about to continue walking, but she saw Gu Anqing and Gu Anyuan accompanying General Gu Er out of a restaurant. Gu Anqing saw her in a flash, whispered a few words to General Gu Er, and ran over.

"Qiu'er, when did you come out?"

Gu Anqing couldn't hide the smile on his face, and continued to explain to Lin Qiuer,

"Second uncle said he wanted to go out for lunch, so we went out. We passed by your house and wanted to call you, but Nanyue said you were still processing paperwork and it was best not to disturb you. The food in that restaurant is good, and I packed a lot of food for you. Have you had lunch?"

"I haven't eaten yet. You said the food in that restaurant is delicious, so I'll go try it." Lin Qiuer said as she walked towards General Gu Er.

"Uncle Gu, what a coincidence!"

"Miss Lin, are you out shopping or looking for something to eat?" General Gu Er asked with a smile.

In a blink of an eye, his nephew's eyes were glued to Lin Qiuer. What else did he not understand? He felt that he was redundant.

"I just finished dealing with some paperwork, and I was starving when I came to my senses. So I came out to find a place to fill my stomach." Lin Qiuer said with a smile.

"You haven't eaten yet? Then go quickly, the food in this restaurant is pretty good." Second Uncle Gu pointed at Gu Anqing and said, "Let Anqing stay with you, he knows your taste."

Gu Anyuan also wanted to stay, "Sister Lin, I know which dish is delicious, I will stay too..."

Before Gu Anyuan could finish his words, his remaining words were covered by the big hands of his father, Uncle Gu, which covered his nose and mouth tightly.

Gu Anyuan couldn't stand it after a few seconds. Was he trying to murder his own son so that he and his mother could have another child?

Uncle Gu didn't know that his hand was also covering his son's nose. He thought Gu Anyuan was going to resist, so he used all his strength to kill him.

Seeing that Gu Anyuan was rolling his eyes, Lin Qiuer felt that if she didn't take action, this boy would be killed by his own father.

She walked forward, stretched out her hand and easily pulled General Gu Er's hand away.

General Gu Er was confused. Gu Anyuan covered his chest and took deep breaths, as if he had escaped death.

When he recovered his breath, Gu Anyuan was so angry that he shouted to Uncle Gu, "Dad, do you want to kill me?"

Seeing General Gu Er's bewildered expression, Lin Qiu'er kindly reminded him, "Second Uncle Gu, you covered his mouth and his nose at the same time. Your son was almost suffocated to death by you just now."

Gu Anyuan glared at his father.

Seeing this, General Gu Er was still a little embarrassed no matter how thick-skinned he was. He pretended to have a sore throat and coughed several times, then pretended not to care and said, "You are a real man. You have learned martial arts for so many years, but you can't even hold your breath for such a short time. You really bring shame to me."

Anyway, he just refuses to admit that he is wrong.

At this moment, a sarcastic and provocative voice sounded.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Lin? Why, now you are desperate and married to an old man, becoming a stepmother?"

Everyone turned to look, and except Lin Qiuer, no one knew who the woman who was speaking was.

Gao Fangxiu, the one who rode a horse in the street in Quan'an Prefecture and almost hurt Lin Qiuer, but was taught a lesson by her instead.

Hearing this, Lin Qiu'er sneered. She ignored Gao Fangxiu's provocation and just glanced at her calmly.

"You are not qualified to point fingers at me."

However, Gao Fangxiu did not give up. She circled around General Gu Er and continued to talk to herself.

"It's dark and old, but the fabric is nice."

Then he looked at Lin Qiu'er and continued, "It seems that you are attracted by this old man's money, so you became his stepmother, right?"

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar around him.

Some people were shocked by Gao Fangxiu's outrageous words, while others secretly laughed at her for being blind.

Anyone with eyes can see that Lin Qiu'er and Gu Anqing are a couple. How could they mistake her for the wife of General Gu Er?

General Gu Er's face darkened. He was obviously shocked by Gao Fangxiu's words.

But as a veteran general, he quickly regained his composure and said in an unquestionable tone,

"Although I am not a saint, I know propriety, righteousness, and shame. How can I allow a woman with a dirty mind like you to talk nonsense here? Come here..."

Just when everyone thought that General Gu Er would order Gao Fangxiu to be killed, Lin Qiuer suddenly spoke up to stop them, "Second Uncle Gu, wait a minute."

Lin Qiuer walked slowly to Gao Fangxiu and looked at her sharply.

“Ms. Gao, you may think you are very smart, but in fact you are extremely stupid.

The man you said was dark and old is the commander of the Gu family army."

Gao Fangxiu's face turned pale as paper in an instant, and her eyes showed disbelief, "You're...lying!"

"And I..." Lin Qiu'er stretched out her slender finger and pointed at her nose, smiling and speaking clearly word by word,

"He is the witch doctor of the Nalan Army. Do you know what a witch doctor is?"

How could she not understand? Even though she didn't understand before, after Yunyang Prefecture was surrounded, she also learned from her elders at home that the commander of the Nalan Army that attacked Yunyang Prefecture was a witch doctor.

After saying this, Lin Qiuer turned and left, leaving Gao Fangxiu standing there alone, her eyes full of resentment and regret.
