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

"Grandpa, why are you telling me this?" Lin Qiu'er asked back. She didn't believe that Grandpa Gu would tell her this for no reason.

The relationship between them was not close enough to the point of casual chatting, and she knew it very well in her heart.

Old Master Gu wanted to beat around the bush at first, but Lin Qiuer guessed what he wanted right away.

I secretly admired in my heart: This little girl is so smart.

But he was also very generous and immediately stated what he wanted, "I would like to ask you, young lady, to go to the Imperial City with An Qing."

Lin Qiu'er was stunned. She couldn't understand what the old man Gu was planning. But she was sure that the old man Gu couldn't be as kind as he was showing now.

He has been stationed near the Nalan Mountains for many years and has participated in countless battles with the two neighboring countries. How could he lose the courage in his heart just because of his old age?

"The old man probably knows that I went down the mountain to look for my missing elder brother. I will not travel far before I find my elder brother." Lin Qiuer did not agree or refuse directly, but just stated a fact lightly.

"Haha, I knew that the girl is a loyal person. Just now, the guards sent a message that your elder brother's whereabouts were found in the state capital on the way to the imperial city, but he was lost in the end." Old Master Gu said with a smile.

"What? Is what the old man said true?" When Lin Qiu'er heard this, she clenched the armrests of the chair and exclaimed in surprise.

Old Master Gu reached out and handed a small piece of paper on the table on the couch to Lin Qiuer, saying, "You will know from the content that what I said is not a lie."

Lin Qiuer quickly but politely took the note, and after opening it, she saw that it said: Lin Nancheng's whereabouts were discovered in Linzhou City, but then lost.

After staring at the note for a while, she knew that this was Old Master Gu's way of exchanging information about her eldest brother for her to go to the imperial city with Gu Anqing. Although she didn't like this approach, she was willing to pay any price as long as she could find her eldest brother.

"I understand. The Gu family helped me find my elder brother. In exchange, I will accompany Mr. Gu to the imperial city." Song Yun looked up at Old Master Gu and said lightly.

Old Master Gu discovered that after Lin Qiuer saw the note, she figured out his intention in a moment, and he became more confident in having her and his eldest grandson go to the imperial city together.

He smiled and nodded, and continued, "Little girl, if you feel angry, just be angry with me, the old man."

Old Master Gu felt a little tired after sitting for a long time, so he changed to a more comfortable sitting position and continued, "The imperial city is full of dangers. If we are not careful, An Qing might die there."

"If you are so worried, why did the old man let Master Gu go? Wouldn't it be okay to just send someone else, or hand the things over to that Shen in the Inspectorate?" Lin Qiu'er really didn't understand why the old man let his offspring take risks even though he knew there were dangers ahead.

Old Master Gu patted his knees, sighed, a melancholy look flashed across his face, and said: "If there is another way, I would also like to keep An Qing by my side. But..."

Lin Qiuer looked at the old man with a look of "Ask me something quick" on his face and felt that as he got older, his behavior was becoming more and more childish.

In order to go back to bed early, I had to follow his lead and ask, "But what?"

"But if we don't go to the imperial city, An Qing will not give up." Old Master Gu breathed a sigh of relief, but he was wondering why young people nowadays don't have the curiosity he had when he was young.

You won't give up if you don't go to the Imperial City?

Could it be that Master Gu has a lover in the imperial city, who doesn't like him, uses him, and abandons him?

Although she thought so, Lin Qiu'er still responded calmly, "Why?"

When Old Master Gu heard this response, he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

This is not a lack of curiosity, this is a lack of interest.

He shook his head helplessly, feeling in his heart: It is really hard to understand the minds of young people nowadays.

"Even though An Qing didn't say anything after his mother sent him to Lingao, I know that he couldn't let go of his mother."

"He cares about his own mother. Isn't this a sign of love and righteousness? Why must he give up on his own mother?" Lin Qiu'er hated elders who alienated the relationship between mother and son, and her tone could not help but become aggressive.

"As a grandfather, even if you want to keep your grandson by your side to serve you, you shouldn't cut off the relationship between him and his biological mother, right?"

Old Master Gu looked at Lin Qiu'er's angry expression and was a little surprised. He didn't expect Lin Qiu'er to be so protective of the relationship between mother and son.

He was silent for a moment, then said in a heavy tone, "What if this dear mother chose to stay in the imperial city alone, and let her five-year-old child travel thousands of miles alone to Lingao. Moreover, in the past fifteen years, she has never sent a letter of concern, and even the clothes for the child have to be delivered by the maids?"

Lin Qiuer's eyebrows twitched. Isn't this biological mother too cold and indifferent?

She couldn't help but feel curious about Gu Anqing's life.

Seeing Lin Qiu'er's shocked expression, Old Master Gu seemed to have found a fellow traveler and was aroused to confide in her. "For the past fifteen years, I have regretted all the time why I let An Qing come to Lin Gao after his father died in the war. Wouldn't it be better for him to stay with his mother and grow up?"

"Does your Gu family have other descendants?" Lin Qiuer asked back.

"Fifteen years ago, An Qing was the only grandchild in the Gu family."

If this was the case, Lin Qiuer could now understand why Old Master Gu had been so anxious to call Xiao Anqing to Lingao County.

"The old man is also thinking about the young master's life. Besides, if he had stayed with his mother, even if he could grow up, he might have been dazzled by the beauties in the imperial city and might have grown up to be a playboy."

Old Master Gu chuckled, but only laughed a few times before sighing, "Perhaps, growing up as a dandy boy would be happier than what I am now."

Lin Qiuer frowned slightly after hearing what he said. She did not agree with Old Master Gu's idea.

In an era when imperial power was supreme, a family that held military power was like carrying a precious jade through the streets. Who among the passers-by wouldn't want to take a bite?

It would be better to kill a descendant of a military general and let him become a playboy than to let others cut the flesh with a blunt knife.

“If elders love their children and grandchildren, they must plan for them in the long run. If we allow Young Master Gu to become a playboy who only knows how to enjoy himself and doesn’t know that he is in danger, then I think the Gu family will become a thing of the past within two generations.” Lin Qiuer felt something in her heart.

In her opinion, the current Nalan Village is very similar to the Gu Family. If they do not make themselves stronger, each generation will become weaker than the previous one, and eventually become a stepping stone for others to get to the top.

"Hahahaha, good, good. I didn't expect that a little girl like you could understand what I worry about." The big stone in Old Master Gu's heart was pushed away, and he couldn't help laughing.

Lin Qiu'er also noticed Gu Anqing standing outside the door at this time. She smiled slightly and added, "I think Mr. Gu will understand the painstaking efforts of the old man as a grandfather one day."
