Shi Qi was heartbroken when Lin Qingge looked at her.
Before, he only thought the way his father stared at people was cold and intimidating. But since the young lady came in, he completely understood what it means to "not belong to the same family but not enter the same family".
Even though he was beating a drum in his heart, he still forced a smile on his face: "Young madam, why do you keep looking at your subordinates like this? Is there something wrong with you?"
"There's something wrong, don't you know?"
The tone of her rhetorical question was very normal, but this sentence had a strange feeling to it, and coupled with her appraising eyes, it felt like something was wrong.
Not to mention that Shi Qi couldn't bear it, Shiliu, who had always been calm and self-possessed, was stared at and had chills running down his back.
Lin Qingge smiled: "Young men, don't be so nervous. I just have a little question to ask you. I'm giving you time to think about it. Think about it, what happened in Shiliu's family some time ago."
She raised her eyebrows and walked into the general's mansion.
As soon as they entered the Green Bamboo Garden, Luo Qing and Luo Hong ran out.
"Young lady!"
The two of them looked no different from before in the palace. However, there were blue marks on Luo Hong's forehead, and there was also a crack on the corner of Luo Qing's mouth, which must have been an injury before.
"Young Madam," Luo Hong knelt on the ground, "My subordinate has been disadvantaged in protecting Young Madam, and I am willing to be punished."
"What punishment? Could it be that you two died in the palace just to protect me?" Lin Qingge smiled and stretched out his hand to help her up. Looking at their faces, his brows furrowed a little, "Girls have too many faces. Importantly, you are really too careless. I need you to know martial arts, but I don’t want you to show off your courage and fight with others anytime and anywhere. Especially when we are weak, we rely on this."
She pointed to her temple, the meaning was very obvious.
Luo Hong and Luo Qing both lowered their heads, the expressions on their faces being indescribably lonely.
"But I'm still very grateful to you. Not everyone would stand up for me in that situation."
This sentence made the Luo sisters' eyes light up. Lin Qingge patted them on the shoulders: "Go and apply some medicine and rest. I have other things to arrange for you to do."
"Young Madam, my subordinates are always at your disposal, Young Madam."
"Same for my subordinates!"
Luo Qing and Luo Hong responded immediately, and Lin Qingge nodded slightly: "Does this mean you will obey my orders?"
"yes!"
"Then my order now is that you go take medicine and rest. I also have to take a rest. After all, I have recovered my health before I can fight with those monsters and monsters."
Luo Qing and Luo Hong did not dare to say any more, bowed and stepped back and left.
When Sixteen and Seventeen saw this scene, they looked at each other with the same meaning in their eyes——
They have all gone to rest, can they also go to rest?
As soon as the idea flashed, Lin Qingge's voice rang out: "Sixteen, have you thought about it? It's not a short time, can I make up a decent reason?"
She walked into the room, sat at the round table, poured herself a glass of water, and drank more than half of the glass.
After spending most of the day in the palace, I didn't even have a drink of water.
The atmosphere was too tense before and she didn't feel anything, but now she felt like smoke was coming out of her throat.
At the same time, I also understand one thing more deeply in my heart. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger.
Being with someone with too high a status is not a good thing after all. If you don't pay attention, your head will move.
She seemed to have a great victory today, but in fact she was surrounded by dangers. She relied on the right time, place and people. If there was any problem in any part of the process, she would not have the chance to sit here.
The heroine sat in a familiar environment, and she felt her heart beating wildly.
This heart almost stopped beating, and the chance of rebirth given by God was wasted on her.
The expression on Lin Qingge's face was changing, and the content of her thoughts had nothing to do with Sixteenth and Seventeenth. They watched the changes in the expression on her face, and their already uneasy mood became even more restless.
"You guys go down." Chu Nanfeng's deep voice sounded from behind, and Sixteen and Seventeen felt like they had been granted amnesty.
For the first time, they felt that their father's voice could be so beautiful. They turned to leave immediately, not wanting to be pinned to the spot by Lin Qingge's words.
"Don't worry, this matter has been solved, but there are other problems. Your general has been lying in bed for several months without losing a ounce of meat. Does it have something to do with you? He has kept it secret from me for so long, he must give it to me Can I give you an explanation?"
Neither Sixteen nor Seventeen dared to move.
From the beginning, they knew that Chu Nanfeng's identity was exposed and that they would be 'taken away' sooner or later, but they did not expect that this day would come so quickly.
"Two unrelated people in the world have exactly the same appearance. I think it's such a coincidence." Chu Nanfeng walked in and attracted all Lin Qingge's attention with one sentence.
Leaving the Su family in the west.
The playful smile on Lin Qingge's face faded a bit, and her eyes narrowed slightly: "Do you think I have something to do with Mr. Su's daughter?"
She shook her head gently as she spoke: "At first, I also thought about whether my biological mother who died young was the daughter of the Su family. But after thinking about it seriously, this is impossible."
"Why?"
"I don't know how powerful the Su family is in Xili. But looking at the young talents of the Su family, I can imagine that the daughter that Mr. Su misses so much is definitely not an ordinary person. How can she be a concubine?"
It feels ridiculous to think about it.
But Chu Nanfeng did not follow her train of thought, but asked aloud: "Then do you think my mother-in-law is an ordinary person?"
"..."
For a moment, Lin Qingge didn't know whether to correct his name for his mother or to simply say that her mother was definitely not an ordinary person.
In the end, she decided not to get entangled in the minutiae and directly got into the main point: "Then what did Shiliu find out when he went to Xili?"
He didn't answer, but went to the wooden box in the corner, opened it, and took out a scroll from inside.
"This is?"
"open to take a look."
Lin Qingge untied the knot without saying anything.
As the scroll was slowly opened, there was a woman with unparalleled beauty on it.
The snow is falling heavily, and the woman is wearing a red cloak and walking in the snowy world, but it does not give people a sense of desolation, just because the woman's eyebrows are warm and her lips are smiling.
Bright eyes, good at gazing, and shining with hope are the best portrayal of the woman in the painting.
But what Lin Qingge couldn't ignore was that the woman in the painting had the exact same face as hers.
The painter's brushstrokes are extremely delicate, and the painting is also very lifelike. When you look into the woman's eyes, you feel like you are looking at a real person.
An unspeakable emotion spread in Lin Qingge's heart. There was no evidence, but she believed that the woman in the painting was the biological mother of the original owner.
Taking a deep breath, her voice was trembling: "Is she Su Nuannuan?"
"yes."
"Then why did she leave the Su family and why did she end up with...Lin Shuquan."
