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

Lin Qiu'er, with a large group of more than thirty clansmen, met up with the Gu family guards. Together, they escorted food, weapons, account books, and three living subordinates of the third prince back to the county town.

As soon as they entered the gate of the county town, they ran into a funeral procession.

The leader of the Gu Mansion's guards was just about to send someone to drive the funeral procession aside and let their team pass first.

At this moment, Lin Qiuer discovered a familiar face among the funeral procession. It was the county magistrate's wife.

Her face was pale, but her eyes revealed a resolute look, and she was accompanied by two boys, one of whom looked about the same age as Lin Qiuer, and the other looked less than ten years old.

"Wait. That's the wife of the late county magistrate. This is the funeral procession that's sending the late county magistrate's coffin back to his hometown. Let's move to the side of the road and let them pass first." Lin Qiu'er loudly stopped the leader of the Gu Mansion's guards.

When the leader of the Gu Mansion's guards heard that this was the funeral procession of the former county magistrate, he also knew that the magistrate had come to Lingao County to investigate the case of the third prince stealing food and weapons from the military camp, but unfortunately he was killed by an assassin in the end.

Now only the orphan and the widow are left to carry the coffin back to their hometown. It is truly heartbreaking, pitiful and lamentable.

Thinking of this, he raised his hand and waved backwards, and all the guards pushing the carts behind him moved to the side of the road. At Lin Nanye's signal, the people from Nalan Village also retreated to the side of the road together.

At this time, the wife of the former county magistrate also recognized Lin Qiuer, the girl who came to the government office with the young master of the Gu family to take away the box that night.

Seeing that she asked the people following behind to pull over and make way, he immediately felt grateful and nodded to Lin Qiuer. The funeral procession then started to move out of the county town again.

At the gate of the county town, the soldiers guarding the city confirmed matters with the funeral procession, and the person in charge of the funeral procession stepped forward to explain.

At this time, Lin Qiuer turned over and dismounted, and chased after him with her agility. When she arrived at the gate of the county town, she showed the sign of the Inspectorate to the soldiers guarding the city.

When they saw the sign of the Inspectorate, even the soldiers guarding Lingao County were so frightened that they trembled all over, lowered their heads and bowed, not daring to look at Lin Qiuer again.

When Lin Qiuer saw this, she knew that the sign of the Inspectorate was still somewhat useful. She nodded with satisfaction and walked towards the wife of the former county magistrate.

She was deeply moved by the tenacity and perseverance of the wife of the former county magistrate. Even when her husband was assassinated, she was still able to stay strong and bring her two children back to her hometown to accompany the coffin. This tenacious spirit deeply touched Lin Qiuer.

"Madam, where are you planning to take the coffin?" Lin Qiu'er asked curiously, with concern gleaming in her eyes.

Seeing Lin Qiu'er helping again, the wife of the former county magistrate showed gratitude in her eyes. She replied, "Thank you for your help, young lady. Shen Lang's family is in the imperial city. Even if he died in Lingao, people should return to their roots after death. No matter how difficult it is, I will send him back to his ancestral tomb in his hometown."

Lin Qiuer nodded, her mind full of thoughts. She thought of the Third Prince who was also in the Imperial City, and said,

"We have already found out why the county magistrate came to Gao County to investigate, and over there is the stolen goods that were recovered.

Madam, please be careful when you return to the Imperial City. If you encounter any difficulties, go to the Inspectorate and find someone named Shen. "

When Madam Shen heard Lin Qiuer say that the matter investigated by the former county magistrate had been thoroughly investigated, she felt relieved and said with emotion, "In this way, the master has completed his mission to come to Gao County this time."

"Yes. The mission undertaken by the former county magistrate has been completed." After Lin Qiu'er finished speaking, she bowed deeply to Madam Shen and said sincerely, "Then I wish Madam a safe journey."

"Thank you, young lady. We'll say goodbye now." Mrs. Shen said with a smile, a hint of gratitude on her lips.

She gently supported the coffin and whispered, "Let's go."

The funeral procession continued to move slowly, slowly out of the Lingao County gate and set foot on the road leading to the imperial city.

Lin Qiu'er stood at the city gate, watching the funeral procession go further and further away, feeling deeply moved.

This farewell might be forever, but then he thought of the responsibilities he shouldered and could only pray silently in his heart that Mrs. Shen could arrive safely in the imperial city.

Turning back to the team, Lin Qiuer jumped on the horse with heroic movements, and was ready to drive the horse forward.

However, at this moment, a disheveled woman suddenly rushed out from the roadside and pounced on her.

Lin Qiuer looked carefully and saw a familiar face - it was her ex-fiancé's current girlfriend Bai Birou.

At this moment, Bai Birou had disheveled hair and untidy clothes, which was completely different from her delicate image that day.

Lin Qiu'er was shocked and thought to herself, "Shouldn't this person be at home living a sweet and happy life with Lian Tie? Why is he out here like this?"

"What are you doing?" Lin Qiu'er asked in confusion, with a hint of indifference in her tone.

"Save me, Miss Lin, please save my life." Bai Birou begged and cried, tears streaming down her cheeks, looking pitiful.

Lin Nanye also realized at this time that this dirty woman was the daughter of Bai Yichen, and the woman with whom Lian Tie broke off the engagement and had another marriage contract.

He couldn't help but get angry and said, "You shameless woman, you stole my little sister's fiancé, how dare you ask someone to save you?"

When Bai Birou heard this, her body went limp and she collapsed to the ground, covering her face and crying sadly.

She felt even more desolate in her heart: Yes, in their eyes, she was a bad woman who seduced someone else's fiancé and made him break up and marry someone else.

She felt endless guilt and shame, knowing that she was not worthy of being saved by Miss Lin, who had been jilted.

Lin Qiuer was very confused about Bai Birou's behavior.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the direction where Bai Birou had appeared just now, and then a group of people who looked like thugs ran over.

As soon as these people came over, they rushed towards Bai Birou.

The leader had a fierce look on his face and cursed: "You stinky woman, do you still think you are the high and mighty lady you were before?

Now you are a girl sold to our Lotus Tower for ten taels of silver. How dare you run away?

Look, I'm going to arrest you and take you back. I won't let you serve more than ten or twenty people tonight."

Lin Nanye didn't know what the Lotus Tower was, but Lin Qiuer guessed as soon as she heard it that it should be a brothel or some other place of entertainment in the county.

She was shocked: Lian Tie was so cruel to sell Bai Birou to such a place!

"You said she was sold to you? The person who sold her was Lian Tie?" Although Lin Qiu'er had some guesses in her heart, she still didn't quite believe that such a cruel person could exist in a small place like Lingao.

Wang Daniu, the leader of the thugs in the Lotus Building, looked up with displeasure on his face and was about to teach Lin Qiuer a lesson, but when he saw this, he was shocked - there were hundreds of strong and aggressive men standing behind this girl.

As a thug in the Lotus Tower, he usually tries not to offend people who should not be offended, but he knows clearly who should not be offended in the county.

Among the hundreds of people in front of him, forty or fifty of them were wearing the Gu Mansion’s guard uniforms. It was obvious at a glance that they were not easy to mess with.

Wang Daniu's face turned from gloomy to bright, and his ferocious face instantly turned into a flattering one. He nodded and said,

"The girl is really smart. Lian Tie said that this is his wife, and she was lazy and ate at home all day, so he sold her to Lianhualou for ten taels of silver. We in Lianhualou have always been fair in transactions, and both parties have signed a contract."

Hearing this, Lin Nanye was shocked.

The unmarried men in Nalan Village who had just come down from the mountain to the county town also heard for the first time that someone would sell his wife. And this Lian Tie turned out to be Lin Qiuer's fiancé!

Considering that Lian Tie broke off the engagement and married another woman, and that the woman sitting on the ground crying was his later wife, everyone secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, he broke off the engagement, otherwise Lin Qiuer might have faced the same fate.
