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

Shen Xiangming was choked by Lin Qiuer's straightforward words and felt a little amused. He really didn't understand why Lin Qiuer had such a bad impression of him. He remembered that he had not done anything to harm her, not to mention that he had saved her brother's life.

"Ms. Lin seems to have a lot of resentment towards Mr. Shen. I wonder if there is any chance to clear up the misunderstanding?"

Lin Qiu'er looked frightened and waved her hands repeatedly, saying, "I dare not, I dare not."

"I don't see any sign of fear, but I can see that Miss Lin is very protective of Young Master Gu." Shen Xiangming said with a hint of interest.

Gu Anqing, who was leaning back in his chair, sat up straight and looked at Shen Xiangming inquiringly, wanting to know why he said that.

Could it be that Miss Qiu'er has a crush on me?

When Gu Anqing thought about Miss Qiu'er having a crush on him and scolding Shen Xiangming to protect him, he felt a little shy and a little expectant.

"If you want me to change my mind about you, it's very simple. I'll ask you a question. If you can answer it to my satisfaction, I'll forgive you for not helping someone in need." Lin Qiu'er ignored Shen Xiangming's words. If she didn't even defend her own friends, what kind of friends were they?

Shen Xiangming had already noticed Gu Anqing's loss of composure, but he did not see any shyness on Lin Qiuer's face. Instead, he calmly began to negotiate the terms.

"Okay. Tell me what you think. Let me see how high the price of forgiveness is."

Lin Qiuer looked at Gu Anqing and asked, "Mr. Gu, show Lord Shen the wooden sign of the person who is chasing you. Who is it that wants to kill you again and again?"

Gu Anqing was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he still took out a yellow wooden sign from the grid beside him and placed it on the table, "Master Shen, please look."

As soon as the yellow wooden sign was placed on the table, Shen Xiangming's expression changed drastically. He took the sign in his hand and looked at it, "How did you provoke Shang Luan?"

"How do you write the word you mentioned?" Lin Qiuer asked.

"Is this the word?" Gu Anqing picked up a pen and wrote the word "Luan" on a blank piece of paper.

Shen Xiangming hadn't recovered from his shock yet and looked at Gu Anqing carefully. According to the archives of their Procuratorate, the Gu family had a clean and honest family tradition, and all the male members of the family had been stationed in the frontier for generations.

The last recorded incident was fifteen years ago, when General Gu was killed in a battle on the border between Xiling and Nanyue.

The handsome young general was killed in a war and died in a foreign land, which caused many girls in the imperial city who were infatuated with him to cry their hearts out and remarry others.

"Lord Shen, Lord Shen." Lin Qiuer picked up the paper with Gu Anqing's words on it and waved it in front of Shen Xiangming.

Shen Xiangming followed the direction of the paper, looked deeply at Lin Qiuer, then sat up straight and said to Gu Anqing,

“The Luan organization has disappeared for a long time, but now it has reappeared, and I’m afraid it will stir up another bloody storm.

According to past rumors, once they lock onto a target, the target is always killed. Master Gu is very lucky to have escaped from their hands."

Gu Anqing seemed to be looking at Shen Xiangming, but in fact, his gaze was passing through Shen Xiangming and looking at Lin Qiuer behind him.

He knew in his heart that if Miss Lin had not happened to save him in the Nalan Mountains, he would have died from the poison on the spot.

As long as he died, Miss Lin would no longer stay at the Gu Mansion, and no one would be able to see through the secret of the millipede, and Grandpa would surely die in pain.

"It's really a blessing." Gu Anqing sighed as he leaned back in his chair with a look of fear on his face.

Seeing the gratitude in Gu Anqing's eyes, Lin Qiu'er smiled slightly, shook the paper in her hand, and said silently, "You're welcome."

"It seems that Lord Shen seems to be very familiar with this Luan organization. I wonder if he knows any other information besides this?" Lin Qiu'er didn't believe that Shen Xiangming, as a member of the Inspectorate, would only know this much information that could be obtained by spending a little money.

Upon hearing this, Gu Anqing eagerly leaned towards Shen Xiangming, propped himself up on his elbows, crossed his hands in front of him, and asked, "Sir Shen, can you tell me more about Luan?"

Shen Xiangming already regretted that he was too shocked and said out these things that were originally kept secret by the Inspectorate. After all, there are very few people in the four countries who know about Luan.

"I said something out of turn today. No matter how you ask, I won't tell you." After Shen Xiangming finished speaking, he pointed at the account book on the table and said with a smile, "It seems that Miss Lin has something urgent to ask you. I have read most of the account books. Anyway, they are all similar, just recording the quantity and silver sold each time. I won't read the rest."

"Sir Shen, are you leaving now?" Although Gu Anqing wanted to know more about Luan, he also saw that Shen Xiangming was unwilling to continue talking, so he stood up and said, "Then I will see you off, Sir Shen. My coming-of-age ceremony will be held in three days. If you are free, Sir Shen, come and have a drink."

Lin Qiuer looked at Shen Xiangming's slippery style, running away when asked about the key points. She really hated people who only told half of the story, so she said, "If you don't want to talk, just run away, Mr. Shen..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Xiangming, "No need to see me off. If you have something to do, just ignore me. I know the way to the gate."

As he said this, he turned around and walked away quickly. He was worried that if he stayed any longer, Lin Qiuer might say something even more murderous.

Changqing has been silent since he entered the study.

Seeing that Lord Shen from the Inspectorate was forced to flee in panic by Miss Lin's words, he secretly sighed that Miss Lin was really good at talking.

Seeing Shen Xiangming leaving in a hurry, Lin Qiu'er turned to Gu Anqing in confusion and asked, "Why does Lord Shen look like there is a ghost chasing him? He is so old, but he is still running so fast. Aren't you afraid of breaking your legs?"

Gu Anqing noticed that Shen Xiangming, who had just walked into the courtyard, staggered and almost fell down as Miss Lin finished speaking. He couldn't help but chuckle.

"I guess Lord Shen was probably afraid that Miss Qiu'er would say something that would make him uncomfortable, so he ran so fast."

Chang Qing added, "Master, Master Shen was so scared that he almost fell down."

Lin Qiu'er pretended to sigh with sadness, shrugged and spread her hands, "I was just telling the truth. Did I do anything wrong? You know, honest advice is unpleasant to the ear but beneficial to one's conduct."

"Hahaha, Miss Qiu'er is right, you are not wrong. It is Lord Shen's fault that he doesn't like to hear the truth." Gu Anqing's gloomy mood, which had just been caused by learning that the Gu family was being targeted by the unknown organization Luan, was dispelled by Lin Qiu'er's words.

Changqing also smiled and thought: As expected, with Miss Lin here, the young master can recover quickly no matter how bad his mood is.

Lin Qiuer waited until Gu Anqing had almost finished laughing before she brought up the reason why she came to see him again, "Mr. Gu, I just wanted to find a real estate agent to look at the house, but Changqing said you had already bought it."

Gu Anqing remembered that the house he bought only had three courtyards, which was more than enough for Qiu'er and her two siblings to live in. However, now that more than 30 people had come, the house with three courtyards might not be big enough for them.
