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

Seeing Lin Qiuer and her brother walking out of the gate of Gu Mansion, Song Congyuan immediately opened his mouth, revealing a row of big white teeth that sparkled in the sun.

He walked up quickly and said cheerfully, "Miss Lin, Brother Lin."

"Why are you here?" The joy on Lin Qiuer's face disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of confusion.

Lin Nanye followed closely behind Lin Qiuer, a few breaths behind, and just arrived at the gate.

Although he comforted his younger sister not to worry about Lin Nanyue's safety, he was actually a little uneasy in his heart.

Too many things have happened recently, especially since his eldest brother has not been found since he disappeared. What if Lin Nanyue disappears again? So when he saw that the person at the door was not Lin Nanyue, his disappointment was beyond words.

Song Congyuan's smile was a little stiff. He scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "It's me. When we said goodbye at the teahouse yesterday, didn't I say that I would come to Gu's house to hang out with you guys when I'm free?"

Lin Qiuer frowned, recalling that she did hear him say such words when they separated in the teahouse yesterday. But she did not expect that Song Congyuan would really come to Gu's house to look for them.

"Aren't those words just polite words?" Lin Qiuer asked calmly.

"What do you mean by polite words?" Song Congyuan shook his head excitedly and patted his chest with his hand, making a "bang bang" sound. "I, Song Congyuan, never say polite words when making friends. Since I say it, I must be sincere."

Seeing his sincere expression, Lin Qiu'er was really worried that he would hurt himself internally, so she quickly waved her hand to stop him, "Alright, alright, I believe you are sincere and not just being polite, okay? You are almost hurting yourself internally."

Hearing that Lin Qiu'er believed that he was not just being polite, Song Congyuan stopped his actions with satisfaction. The next moment, he rushed directly to Lin Qiu'er, shrank his neck, covered his mouth, and whispered in her ear:

"Miss Lin, do you know? Something big happened in the county government office last night."

Lin Nanye saw Song Congyuan's actions clearly, and pushed him away from Lin Qiuer in an unhappy mood, and said angrily, "Song Congyuan, what are you doing?"

Song Congyuan was pushed and staggered, but he was not angry. Instead, he stretched out his hand to put on Lin Nanye's shoulder, and stood on tiptoe to whisper in his ear, "Something big happened in the county government office last night. Brother Lin, do you know that the county magistrate was killed? Tsk, hey~ The whole county is under martial law now. People are only allowed to enter the city but not leave."

Lin Qiuer looked at Song Congyuan's expression and movements, which were exactly the same as those of the middle-aged ladies who were doing handicrafts and gossiping at the entrance of the countryside.

She couldn't help but wonder curiously: Why is he, a young master from the local wealthy family, the Song family, so fond of gossip?

Lin Nanye felt uncomfortable with Song Congyuan's actions and pushed him away.

Song Congyuan was not paying attention for a moment and fell to the ground with a "bang".

"Hey, hey, hey, how can you bully my young master like this?" The servant who came to Gu's house with Song Congyuan shouted angrily. He walked over quickly, helped Song Congyuan up from the ground, and carefully brushed the dust off his body.

This scene made the atmosphere instantly become a little awkward.

Lin Nanye also felt that he had overreacted, and hurried forward to brush the dust off Song Congyuan. However, Song Congyuan just stood up after falling down, and trembled with fear again. He quickly reached out to stop him, "Brother Lin, Brother Lin, let's talk it over nicely."

Lin Qiu'er shook her head helplessly, "Third brother, don't you know how strong you are? If you hit him a few more times, he will be killed. You'd better show some mercy."

"Yes, yes, Miss Lin is right. Brother Lin, please show mercy. I haven't married or had children yet, and I haven't enjoyed the life of wealth and glory enough. I don't want to lose my life so soon." Song Congyuan agreed with what Lin Qiuer said and begged for mercy repeatedly.

"It's not a good idea for us to stand here and chat. Why don't we go into Gu's house and sit down first?" Lin Qiuer suggested.

When Song Congyuan heard this, he stopped crying immediately, straightened his clothes, and turned to ask the servant, "Master, is there anything else dirty on my clothes? Come over here and let me see it."

The servant, who was filled with righteous indignation just now, now lowered his head and ran forward to tidy up the clothes of his master.

Lin Qiu'er watched Song Congyuan's series of actions. She felt that this man was interesting, but she also secretly wondered in her heart whether this man came to her and her brother to gossip about the murder of the county magistrate, or had other purposes?

But no matter whether he came with other purposes or not, it would be better to bring him into the Gu Mansion first.

Because they saw that Lin Qiuer and his sister knew Song Congyuan, and Lin Qiuer was the savior of the two masters of the Gu Mansion, the guards at the gate did not stop them and let them follow Lin Qiuer and his sister into the Gu Mansion.

As soon as Song Congyuan entered the Gu Mansion, he couldn't suppress the excitement on his face. He looked around, as if his eyes were not enough to see. He sighed as he looked.

"Oh, I didn't expect the courtyard of the Gu Mansion to be so, so, elegant."

Lin Qiuer glanced at Song Congyuan and mercilessly exposed his hypocritical words, "You want to know why the Gu Mansion is so poor, with only rockery everywhere and not even half a pavilion?"

"Hehehe, Miss Lin, you are simply a god in the world. You guessed what I was thinking."

Song Congyuan's eyes flashed with a strange light, and soon he returned to his smiling face, "You two must not know that I have long wanted to find an opportunity to come to the Gu Mansion to see more, but I have never found the right time. Today, thanks to Miss Lin, I am fortunate enough to step into the Gu Mansion and see this legendary place."

Lin Qiuer couldn't help but laugh. She vaguely felt that Song Congyuan's purpose of this trip was not just to see the garden. Perhaps he wanted to take this opportunity to establish some connection with the Gu family. After all, in Lingao County, the influence of the Gu family was unquestionable.

"Mr. Song seems to be about the same age as Mr. Gu. You two live in Lingao County together. Didn't you have the chance to meet each other before?" Lin Qiu'er asked curiously.

Song Congyuan showed a trace of regret on his face and sighed, "I have seen Master Gu from a distance. At that time, he was standing with General Gu and the county magistrate."

"Then didn't you take the opportunity to get to know him?" Lin Qiuer felt that Song Congyuan was not the kind of person who would miss such an opportunity.

"I can't just blatantly climb over the wall into the county government office to meet him, right?" Song Congyuan looked at Lin Qiuer and said with a slightly regretful tone.

After hearing this, the servant next to him raised his head and quickly glanced at Song Congyuan, then said, "If you really climbed over the wall and entered the county government office that time, you would probably have to stay in bed for a while."

"Who told you to talk too much?" Song Congyuan immediately covered the servant's mouth and explained to Lin Qiu'er, "It was because I slipped while climbing the wall and fell down, and that's why I got hurt."

Then he leaned close to the servant's ear and threatened with gnashing teeth, "If you dare to say one more word, I will let you know what true misery is when we get back."

Under Song Congyuan's threat, the servant immediately shut his mouth tightly.

Lin Qiu'er couldn't help rolling her eyes when she saw the behavior of the master and servant.

She kindly reminded him, "Mr. Song, actually my third brother and I really don't care how you met Mr. Gu. It doesn't matter if you climbed over the wall or crawled through a dog hole, as long as you feel happy."
