Uncle Lin was puzzled upon hearing this, but he could only keep it in mind and did not dare to ask any further questions. He hurried ahead to lead the way for Qingfeng Li.

But when passing a corner of a flower garden,

Suddenly, a figure came from the side and headed towards Qingfeng Li.

Before anyone present could react, Xiao Ai had already lifted up her sleeves to reveal the black holes.

There was a "click" sound as the gun was loaded.

But at this critical moment, the figure fell directly at Li Qingfeng's feet with a thud.

Li Qingfeng raised his eyebrows, looked down at the person on the ground, then raised his hand and pressed down Xiao Ai's hand.

Uncle Lin also heard the sound, turned around and saw the situation, hurried forward to help the figure up, and asked with concern,

"My nephew, are you okay?"

The jade-faced young man hurriedly bowed and said,

"Thank you, Steward Lin. I'm fine!"

After saying that, he also saw Li Qingfeng and asked in confusion,

"It's so late, and I haven't asked these two who they are..."

Anyone who can be personally led by the steward of the Lin Mansion must be no ordinary person.

However, the direction that Uncle Lin led was obviously towards the hanging flower gate connecting to the back house.

You know, in a wealthy family, the men of the family are not allowed to enter the backyard whenever they want.

As for men from other families, they would never be brought into the back house.

Not to mention that it was late at night and she brought a foreign man in.

Before Uncle Lin could speak, Qingfeng Li already smiled and bowed.

"I'm Li Qingfeng from Yangzhou. I'm engaged to Yu'er. I heard she wasn't feeling well today, so I rushed back from out of town to check on her. May I ask who you are, brother?"

Upon hearing this, the Jade-faced Young Master suddenly understood. No wonder she was brought into the backyard at such a time. So that's how it is!

But I was suspicious in my heart. My uncle's daughter was actually engaged to someone?

Why had they never heard of it in Shenkyodu before?

However, this is obviously not the right time to ask about this matter. It will not be too late to ask for advice when I have the chance to meet Uncle Lin.

He bowed and smiled at Qingfeng Li.

"It's Master Li! Nice to meet you! I'm Jia Lian from the Rongguo Mansion, and I'm honored!"

Li Qingfeng pretended to be surprised.

"So you're a descendant of Duke Rong. I've heard so much about you! Were you okay?"

Jia Lian bowed modestly.

"Ashamed!"

Just as he was about to exchange pleasantries, he saw Uncle Lin still waiting on the side, and said to Qingfeng Li,

"Mr. Li, since time is of the essence, please go and ask on your own. Don't bother with me!"

Then he said to Lin Bo,

"Butler Lin, I want to visit my uncle tomorrow. Please help me tell him."

Naturally, Uncle Lin didn't say much in front of Qingfeng Li, and nodded in agreement.

Jia Lian bowed to Qingfeng Li.

"I'll take my leave first!"

Li Qingfeng smiled and bowed, watching Jia Lian leave, with a slight smile on his face.

The reason why he revealed his engagement with Lin Daiyu to Jia Lian was not a slip of the tongue.

The main purpose was to go back and tell everyone in Rongguo Mansion about this matter through Jia Lian, so as to completely put an end to the thoughts of some people.

This will also prevent Lin Daiyu from being harassed by some arrogant guys after she arrives at the Rongguo Mansion in the capital.

Of course, there are some other ideas that may have miraculous effects in the future.

Uncle Lin looked at Qingfeng Li with awe and helplessness.

The master had told him that the young lady and the mountain king had an agreement not to tell anyone about their engagement.

But now, the creditor of Qingfeng Village was right in front of him and said it so directly.

What kind of agreement is this?

No, this matter must be reported to the master later.

Today, Uncle Lin finally found out that his master had actually betrothed his daughter to the bandit leader of Qingfeng Village.

Although he was very confused about these series,

But he also knew that if it weren't for the master's actions, both the master and the servant would have died in the Great Copper Mountain that day.

Moreover, by bringing Li Qingfeng to the backyard tonight, he could also understand the master's helplessness.

After all, tonight, the bandits from Qingfeng Village who were still standing in the front yard were all armed.

However, with Rong Mama and others in the backyard, it seems that Li Qingfeng, the mountain king, would not dare to act recklessly.

After making up his mind, he extended his hand to Qingfeng Li.

"Please follow me!"

Qingfeng Li nodded slightly.

After arriving at the Chuihua Gate, Uncle Lin said to the maid who had been waiting there for a long time,

"Qiucao, next, you should bring this young master, Li... in!"

"Yes, Steward Lin!"

Qiucao bowed to Lin Bo, and then bowed to Li Qingfeng.

"Sir, please follow me!"

Li Qingfeng smiled and nodded, then took Xiao Ai to walk into the hanging flower gate.

Seeing this, Uncle Lin quickly called out to Qingfeng Li.

"Mr. Li, your companion... look..."
