The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

After Matchmaker Fan left, Qi Yuanshuo knocked on Gu Qinghuai's door.

"Sister Xiaohuai, I need to take a leave to go out and do something," Qi Yuanshuo looked at her with an expression that seemed a little obedient, yet a little nervous.

"Okay, go ahead." Gu Qinghuai originally had something for Qi Yuanshuo to do, but when he heard him say that he was going out to do something, he didn't mention it for the time being.

There's no rush for her anyway.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at her deeply and said softly, "I will be back soon."

Gu Qinghuai chuckled: "I'm not going out anyway, so there won't be any danger at home. Just do your thing seriously and don't worry."

Qi Yuanshuo didn't say anything. He looked at her again, then turned around and walked away.

Zhao Ying and Zhu Meijun were worried that Fan the matchmaker’s arrival would make Gu Qinghuai unhappy, so they came over to comfort her.

"Huai'er, don't feel pressured. Although mother really hopes that you can meet a man who truly loves you so that you can have someone to rely on and don't have to work so hard, mother will never force you to get married. Everything depends on your own wishes. As long as you like it, anything is fine," Zhao Ying said in a gentle and comforting voice, holding Gu Qinghuai's hand.

Although good men are rare, they still exist, such as her husband Ah Heng.

If Ah Heng hadn't had his brain smashed, he would definitely be as kind to her and the children as ever.

She has a happy marriage, so she hopes her daughter will have one too.

Her Huai'er is more beautiful and more outstanding than her as a mother. She deserves to meet a better man and deserves to be loved.

Gu Qinghuai smiled sweetly: "Thank you, mother, you are so kind."

"Your mother is right, Huai'er, you shouldn't have any worries or psychological burdens. Just do whatever you want. It doesn't matter whether you get married or not. Your elder brother and younger brother will be your supporters in the future. My granddaughter, Zhu Meijun, should be like the birds in the sky, flying freely!" Zhu Meijun pointed to the blue sky outside the window, her tone firm.

Gu Qinghuai leaned his head on Zhu Meijun's shoulder and smiled happily: "Thank you, grandma. My grandma is open-minded and the best woman in the world!"

Zhu Meijun blushed at Gu Qinghuai's praise and waved her hands, "What's so great about that? I've been through a lot and I've learned a lot. Life is only a few short decades, so live your life to your heart's content! Even the gods can't control me!"

Gu Qinghuai was amused by her grandmother. She liked her grandmother's personality so much. If she were in later generations, her grandmother would definitely be a heroine who was powerful and lived a proud and flamboyant life.

Gu Qingshan was practicing walking not far away, and Qi Yuanshuo greeted him when he passed by.

After leaving Tuniu Village, Qi Yuanshuo put on a mask and went directly to the county town.

After entering the city gate, Qi Yuanshuo turned into a remote courtyard on the west side of the city.

The courtyard is not big, but the walls are very high and it is surrounded by dense woods, providing good shelter.

There seemed to be no one in the yard. Qi Yuanshuo closed the gate, looked around inconspicuously, and then imitated a few bird calls.

A moment later, a boy of about eleven or twelve years old ran out from the backyard.

There was a scar on the boy's face that ran from his left eye to the right corner of his mouth. He was wearing a simple gray linen shirt and looked lean and strong.

Even though Qi Yuanshuo was wearing a mask, the boy's eyes still lit up when he saw him.

He hurriedly clasped his hands together, knelt on one knee in front of Qi Yuanshuo, and whispered: "Si Feng greets the Seventh Palace - Master!"

Qi Yuanshuo helped him up, "How are you doing recently?"

"Thank you for your concern, Master. Everything is fine with Si Feng! Everything is fine here too." Si Feng stood up, extremely respectful.

Qi Yuanshuo lowered his voice and said, "Let's go inside and talk."

The two entered the room and sat down. Qi Yuanshuo asked, "How many people are there now?"

Si Feng bowed slightly and said, "My Lord, a total of four little beggars were selected, all of them were over ten years old. I used some tricks to examine their character. The four of them are loyal, reliable, and have good roots.

In addition, I took the initiative to give them names. The oldest one, who was twelve years old, was named Si Lei, the eleven-year-old one was named Si Dian, and the two ten-year-olds were named Si Xue and Si Bing.

Qi Yuanshuo glanced at Si Feng and nodded: "Well, train them well."

Si Lei, Si Dian, Si Xue and Si Bing, plus Si Si Feng, make exactly five people.

Si Feng probably missed those four people as well, so he found four people and wanted to make it five again.

In order to protect his safety, the master secretly trained five secret guards for him.

These five secret guards were abandoned children picked up by the master from outside. The master named them Si Yang, Si Yue, Si Xing, Si Feng and Si Yu.

The five of them were about the same age as him. They had been trained since they were three or four years old. They were all highly skilled in martial arts and were loyal to him.

Among them, Si Yu was the shadow that the master found for him. He was most similar to him in body shape and appearance. In order to make him more similar, the master also asked a doctor to adjust Si Yu's appearance.

If his life is in danger, Si Yu will die for him.

But he never wanted Si Yu to die.

On the day of the incident, those in the palace hired dozens of top martial arts masters to assassinate him.

Fortunately, eunuch Xiaohe went to report the news a moment in advance, giving them some time to prepare.

Si Yu asked Si Feng to take him away quickly, but he took off the jade pendant he often wore and put it on himself. When fighting with the assassin, he deliberately let the assassin scratch his face.

In order to hold back the killers, the master and Si Yang, Si Yue and Si Xing all died, leaving only him and Si Feng.

The scar on Si Feng's face was also left by him blocking the sword.

Later, in order to infiltrate the criminal slave team, he asked Si Feng to come to Qinghe County in advance, buy a yard to live in, and re-select and train some secret guards.

“Master, rest assured. I will train them to be the most loyal and powerful secret guards to protect your safety,” Si Feng clasped his hands together with a firm look in his eyes.

Qi Yuanshuo looked solemn and patted his shoulder, "Well, I believe you."

Si Feng thought for a moment and said, "Master, the four of them are training in the woods. Do you want to meet them?"

"Go call them over, I just have something to ask them to do," Qi Yuanshuo said with a smile.

These four have been training for more than half a year. I don’t know if they have made any progress. This is a good opportunity to test their abilities.

Soon Si Feng brought in four young boys of different heights.

Si Lei has a slightly square face, long arms and legs, and he should be a tall man in the future.

Si Dian has a baby face and big eyes.

Si Xue has a pretty appearance and a feminine temperament.

Si Bing has a pair of fox eyes and looks very smart.

Si Bing, Si Lei, Si Feng, Si Dian, Si Xue

"This is our master, why don't you hurry up and pay your respects to him!" Si Feng ordered the four young men.

The four young men immediately clasped their hands together and bowed to Qi Yuanshuo, "Your subordinates Si Lei (Lightning, Snow, Ice) greet the master!"

The four of them were all wearing the same grey linen clothes as Si Feng. They had straight backs and firm expressions, and their temperaments were very different from those little beggars on the street.
