Lin Yanqing raised her eyes and said softly, "I know I was wrong, sister, please don't be angry."
Wu Qingfeng also comforted her, saying, "The child has ambition and hasn't done anything seriously wrong. Don't get angry."
Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "I wasn't angry with him, I just..."
She took a breath and continued, "I'm angry with myself. I've been so busy making money that I haven't had much time to spend with them or communicate with them properly."
"It's not wrong for him to want to earn military merits, and I shouldn't be so pessimistic. But even if we take a step back, are military merits really that easy to earn?"
"Shouldn't we make use of readily available resources? Besides, he promised to continue my father's bloodline. Isn't this just... isn't this a trap?" She was a modern woman from the 21st century, and originally she didn't have much of an obsession with carrying on the family line.
But keeping one's word is still essential.
But what is this silly kid planning? He clearly wants to wait until he's older and more independent before going solo and going head-to-head with his scumbag father.
Oh, she puts so much effort into raising them, while he himself has drawn up a very sloppy picture of his own life.
Besides, he belongs to her brother. How could she not care about his affairs?
Surely he understands the simple principle that there is strength in numbers?
There is clearly a faster and easier way, but he insists on choosing the most difficult one. Why bother?
She just can't stand seeing people suffer unnecessary hardship.
Seeing that she seemed genuinely angry, Wu Qingfeng gently patted her back and said to Lin Yanqing, "Your sister doesn't mean she's afraid of trouble or being implicated by you. She's just afraid that you're not as skilled as others, and that she won't know where to seek revenge for you when the time comes."
"Go away, what are you saying!" Lin Chang'er slapped his arm. "If my brother were such a coward, I wouldn't bother to avenge him."
Lin Yanqing chuckled and said, "Sister, I know what to do."
He stood up from his seat, bowed to Chen Shanzhang, who was seated above him, then bowed to Wu Qingfeng, and finally knelt down in front of Chen Shanzhang. "My mother died unjustly. I beg you, sir, and Lord Wu, to lend me a hand."
Chen Shanzhang stroked his beard, reached out to help him up, but his eyes turned to Wu Qingfeng. "I am just a teacher. I can write a complaint without any problem, but when it comes to maneuvering in the court, I still have to rely on Lord Wu."
Lin Yanqing then turned to Wu Qingfeng, "Lord Wu..."
Wu Qingfeng glanced at Lin Chang'er and found it somewhat amusing that she was deliberately turning her face away.
However, they are now clearly on the opposite side of the Marquis of Yunxing's mansion, so there's no point in being coy.
But this favor!
Wu Qingfeng said, "Your sister will naturally not ignore your affairs, and I will not ignore your sister's affairs either."
Lin Chang'er: "..." I'm speechless. You old bastard, how can this be settled like this?
But Wu Qingfeng, completely oblivious to the situation, smiled at her and said, "You're right, aren't you, Chang'er!"
Lin Chang'er glanced at Lin Yanqing, who was grinning foolishly after receiving a positive answer, and thought to herself, "Alright!"
People say that children come to collect debts. Lin Yanqing is her younger brother, so it seems reasonable to consider him as paying off the debts of the original owner's parents.
The carriage circled the streets several times, nearly exhausting the little tail that had been following them.
Xiao Qi then flicked his whip and headed towards the courtyard, leaving the little tail trailing half a street behind.
Wu Qingfeng casually lifted the curtain and glanced at her, then exchanged a smile with Lin Chang'er.
However, both of them knew in their hearts that they were only temporarily shaking off the other person.
Magistrate Yang will find them sooner or later.
They were able to disappear before the other party came knocking, but they planned to turn Lin Beishan and Bai He's shipyard here into a supply and repair station.
This bastard must be eliminated. Ideally, the magistrate of Su County should be one of their own. If Su County can become their backing in the future, they will have more confidence in the event of war.
When the carriage returned to the courtyard, Lin Chang'er clearly felt that there were many more guards around. She wondered where Liu Zi had transferred these people from in such a short time.
However, it's a good thing no matter where they were transferred from, because Magistrate Yang definitely won't swallow this insult and will come to cause trouble—no, to silence them…
However, as soon as the courtyard door opened, Lin Chang'er was stunned again. She saw Lin Beishan, who had arrived at some point, holding Yudian'er and making "oh oh oh" noises to amuse her.
He chuckled and said, "Grow up quickly, raindrops, and Grandpa will take you to set off some big fireworks. Boom! The waves will roll ten meters high!"
Lin Chang'er thought to herself, "What you're doing isn't fireworks, it's some kind of egg!"
As she was thinking this, a woman's voice came from the side, "The baby is only a month old, why are you talking about all this nonsense? If you're so idle, why don't you go and make a couple more things that can scare people?"
“My daughter caused this mess this morning. That corrupt magistrate is a weasel-faced, narrow-minded man. He was never a good person to begin with. We can’t let this go. You have to make plans soon, otherwise…” If you lose your daughter again, I really don’t know where to look for her.
However, before she could finish speaking, she caught a glimpse of a graceful figure at the courtyard gate out of the corner of her eye. Bai He was overjoyed, "Daughter, you're back! How was it? Did you suffer any losses?"
Lin Chang'er smiled and shook her head, "It's nothing, Aunt Bai, what brings you here?"
Bai He laughed and said, "We went to the covered bridge this morning, but seeing that you wouldn't be back for a while, we decided to wait for you here in the courtyard."
Lin Chang'er nodded, then turned to look at Lin Beishan, about to ask him if he had agreed to go to Ninghai County with them.
Lin Beishan's eyes were fixed on Wu Qingfeng, making Wu Qingfeng feel a little uneasy.
Lin Chang'er couldn't bear to watch any longer and gave Bai He a wink.
Bai He raised her hand and slapped him on the back. "What are you looking at? What are you looking at! Didn't you say you were soothing the baby? What are you staring at?"
Lin Beishan felt an itch to fight whenever he saw Wu Qingfeng. Although he knew he might not be a match for this brat in terms of physical damage, he was just both bad at fighting and loved to flirt.
Hearing Bai He say that, she stuffed Yudian into her arms, "Didn't you just want to coax her too? Here, I'll coax you, I'll coax you..."
Bai He warily avoided him, wondering what this old geezer was up to.
She probably wants to give the child to her so she can go and fight with the Wu family boy!
Isn't it a coincidence? Not only do they look alike, but they also share the same surname, Wu...
But Bai He wasn't about to let the old man get his way. She said, "That was just now. You were trying to take it from me just now. Now you can have your fill of coaxing the baby. Hold him tight, or you'll get a beating..."
Lin Beishan was disappointed and, despite his reluctance, could only obediently hold Yudian'er. Yudian'er was quite carefree.
Completely oblivious to the adults' subtle misunderstandings, she babbled incoherently to Lin Beishan...
Lin Chang'er suppressed a laugh, glancing at Wu Qingfeng out of the corner of her eye. She saw him staring intently at Lin Beishan, his gaze carrying a strange sense of familiarity...
