General Gu Er was still very angry, but the two brothers Gu Anyuan and Gu Anqing coaxed and pushed them into the restaurant again.

As soon as he sat down, Gu Anyuan couldn't help but ask, "Sister Lin, why did you let that woman go? It would be a good idea to have someone beat her up..."

Seeing that General Gu Er seemed to agree, Lin Qiuer looked at Gu Anqing. He just smiled slightly with an expression that said, "I believe you."

Lin Qiu'er felt warm in her heart, and poured a cup of tea for General Gu Er before explaining,

“If we were not the commander-in-chief of the Gu Family Army and the Nalan Army, we could certainly do this.

But right after he captured the city, he attacked a local woman, and was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives. If the story got out, who knows what kind of story it would turn out to be."

"It was her fault in the first place, why should she be afraid of other people spreading it?" Gu Anyuan snorted.

General Gu Er was also a straightforward person. He was also angry at Gao Fangxiu's slander of him. "I am upright and I am not afraid of what others say!"

"Second Uncle is naturally upright, but others don't know it."

Gu Anqing waited until General Gu Er's expression calmed down before continuing to explain.

"Because it's a false accusation, if it gets out, people will exaggerate it, and maybe tomorrow it will be seen as Second Uncle using his power to pressure Miss Gao to not dare to speak out."

Lin Qiuer shook her head, "That's still good. The most frightening thing about this is that people will spread it around, because in the process of spreading it, people will involuntarily add their own words.

It might be possible that Second Uncle Gu robbed a girl from me on the street, and she refused, so you two forced her back together.

After all, stories with a bit of color can arouse other people’s curiosity.”

General Gu Er felt deeply insulted. "She is so ugly, who would want to snatch her away?"

"Puff..." Gu Anyuan didn't expect that his serious father would say such words. The tea in his mouth sprayed all over the floor, and he hurriedly wiped the water from his chin with his hand.

In return, General Gu gave him a disdainful look.

"Sometimes you want to vent your anger, but you don't have to put your life in jeopardy."

Lin Qiu'er blinked her eyes and snapped her fingers, "Team Luan."

As soon as she finished speaking, a person with a phoenix-shaped scarf covering his face appeared in the room and said with a bow, "I am here."

"Go and tell everyone what happened downstairs just now. Remember to emphasize our magnanimity and let go of the Yunyang Mansion's Gao family girl who spoke so wildly." Lin Qiuer tapped the table and reminded.

"I understand." After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared.

Before Gu Anyuan could see the significance of doing this, General Gu Er had already seen the purpose of this approach.

When the Gu family army and the Nalan army first entered Yunyang Prefecture and took over the city of Yunyang Prefecture, the local officials or gentry did not dare to say anything openly, but they did a lot of things to hinder them behind the scenes.

But the common people are different. They will obey whoever gives them land to farm and food to eat.

General Gu Er thought of something and said with emotion,

"Miss Lin thinks more and further than us rough people.

This move will greatly help us take over Yunyang City."

“No, no, no…” Lin Qiu’er shook her head. “Second Uncle Gu, this is a plan that kills two birds with one stone.”

"What kind of bird is the other one?" Gu Anqing was also very interested.

"Of course it's Gao Fangxiu." Lin Qiu'er supported her cheek with her hands, picked up some peanuts from the plate on the table and put them into her mouth.

"You don't think I would let go of someone who provokes me, do you? I'm petty, I just don't want to do it in front of everyone and lose my dignity."

At this point, she rolled her eyes, moved closer to the table, and explained in a low voice,

"Besides, if someone attacks her from behind, she won't know who hurt her, and she will be scared and miserable. Isn't that more refreshing?"

Gu Anyuan was a little dazed and felt that Sister Lin in front of him was a little strange.

But...but it's just to his liking.

His eyes sparkled as he looked at Lin Qiu'er and asked, "If the Gao family finds out, will they beat up that brainless woman?"

"Beating her up is the worst option."

Lin Qiu'er stepped back, leaned back in her chair and said, "The Gao family will marry Hao Fangxiu off soon, and she will marry her far away."

General Gu Er, his uncle and nephew all looked confused.

The Gu family has a good family tradition and the men are not promiscuous, so naturally they don't know that this is the biggest punishment.

Sure enough, within the next two days, the entire Yunyang City knew that Gao Fangxiu had spoken rudely to the commanders of the Nalan Army and the Gu Family Army in public.

The Gao family was afraid of being targeted and retaliated against, so the head of the Gao family ignored his wife's attempts to stop him and hurriedly married Gao Fangxiu to the countryside in a sedan chair.

……

It was two months later that the situation in Yunyang Prefecture was completely stabilized.

That day, after Lin Qiuer had finished dealing with all the paperwork, she took a break from her busy life and lay in a rocking chair under the gazebo in the house, rocking back and forth.

He Hua stood beside Lin Qiu'er, feeding her a fruit from time to time.

Sour and sweet fruits came in turns, and even the small cakes from Yunyang Mansion were so delicious that they were bubbling with joy.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried footsteps coming from afar, and soon they reached the pavilion.

The Luan team immediately showed up, stretched out their hands to stop the newcomer, and shouted, "How dare you be so panicked in front of the witch doctor?"

"Please forgive me, witch doctor! I...I really didn't mean it. It's just that a man covered in blood came outside and said that there was urgent military business and asked to see a witch doctor." Upon hearing this, the servant immediately knelt down on the spot with a "thump".

The sound coming from the blue brick floor made Hehua look reluctant.

But once this person comes, the lady may not be able to rest.

She felt sorry for the young lady as she had been busy for more than a month. She finally got a chance to rest but was disturbed again.

Thinking of this, He Hua couldn't help but glare at the top of the servant's head.

Lin Qiu'er, who was sitting on the recliner, swallowed the cake in her mouth, stretched out a finger and asked, "Did that person say where he came from?"

"To answer the witch doctor's question, the man said he came from Quan'an Prefecture." The servant touched the ground with his forehead and replied respectfully.

Hearing the reply, Lin Qiuer paused and turned over and sat up.

Quan'an Prefecture?

He only knew the son of Marquis Zhongyong in Quan'an Mansion. According to the news brought back by the Luan team, Princess Weiwu went to Quan'an Mansion to see her uncle a year ago with her newborn children, and the wife of Marquis Zhongyong also went with them.

No one knew what method they used to make the extremely suspicious Emperor Nanyue agree to let the mother and daughter take Lord Shen's grandson to Quan'an Mansion.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Qiu'er ordered the servant, "Go and bring the person in."

"Yes, witch doctor." The servant stood up tremblingly and ran towards the gate.

Soon, the servant came back with a man whose clothes were stained with blood. "Witch doctor, the man is here."

"Ah."

"Then I will step back first. If there is anything else, please call me."

The servant was very perceptive and knew that what happened next was not something he could listen to, so he left quickly when he saw Lin Qiuer waving her hand.

Lin Qiuer turned her head to look over, feeling somewhat surprised, for she had seen this man before beside the Prince of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.

"What's the matter that requires you, the confidant of Prince Li, to deliver the letter?"
