Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Since everyone knew that the results of the provincial exam would be announced today, Xu Zhinian and other free members of the Cheng family were all in the Cheng residence.

Seeing Lin Gou Wa and Lin Tian Ya coming back, everyone gathered around them. After checking that the two children were safe and sound, they started asking questions that concerned everyone.

Such as: "Did your journey there and back go smoothly?", "Why did you take so long to come back?", "Is that family easy to get along with?", "How is your mother's health?"...

"It went well. Everything went well."

"That uncle insisted on keeping us for a few days, so we were delayed."

"That family is nice and easy to get along with."

"After we got there, we immediately called a doctor for my mother, who said that apart from being a little tired, there was no other problem."

……

Lin Gou Wa nodded quickly and answered everyone's questions, appearing to be very busy.

Finally, everyone had finished asking questions, and Lin Gou Wa had finished answering, and the hall became a little quiet.

Suddenly, Old Lady Lin clapped her hands and smiled so hard that her teeth were showing:

"Ah Wan passed the provincial exam, Gou Wa and Tian Ya also returned home safely, today is such a good day!

My eldest brother's wife, please tell the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal today so that we can have a good family gathering and celebrate.

By the way, give some bonuses to the servants in the mansion, so that they can also share in the joy and be happy!"

"That..." Lin Gou Wa clenched his fists, secretly glanced at Cheng Wan and quickly looked away. His mouth opened and closed, and he looked very conflicted.

What's going on here?

Old Mrs. Lin and others looked puzzled.

Only Cheng Wan's heart sank suddenly after seeing the look Lin Gou Wa gave him just now, and the smile on his face slowly faded.

"The war in the south is over. The army has won, won."

! ! ! ! ! !

"Is it over?" Wang grabbed Lin Gou Wa's arm, her eyes scorching brightly: "Is the war over?! Is it really over?!"

"Yeah, yeah, is it really over?!"

"Did we win?!"

"Will we never have to fight again?!"

"Can Daping and Ayan come back?!"

"Could they be on their way back?!"

……

Wang asked the question, and before Lin Gou Wa could answer, questions from Old Lady Lin and others popped up one after another.

Being stared at by so many pairs of expectant eyes, Lin Gou Wa couldn't control his nervousness. He licked his lips and nodded: "The war is over, we won, then..."

"We won...we won...Daping and Ayan are coming back! They are coming back!"

The only thing Wang could hear was Lin Gou Wa saying, "The war is over, we won." She let go of Lin Gou Wa's arm, covered her mouth, leaned into Cheng Daniu's arms and started crying.

This is what it means to cry with joy.

The others also looked ecstatic.

Except Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan hugged the happy Gu Yu and looked at Lin Gou Wa. She heard that Lin Gou Wa had just said "then".

Lin Gou Wa didn't finish his words.

Lin Gou Wa did have something to say. He originally wanted to tell everyone he had heard in one go, but the words were interrupted. Everyone was so happy, so he didn't know or didn't dare to speak.

"Brother, a general was seriously injured and is about to die. You forgot to tell me."

The little girl's voice was crisp and sweet, but her words were filled with coldness and cruelty.

The crowd, who were originally overjoyed, suddenly became quiet, and everyone's heart was lifted.

Including Cheng Wan.

Cheng Wan looked at the uneasy Lin Gou Wa, his face calm but his voice a little dry: "Which general was seriously injured? Quick..."

Cheng Wan didn’t say the following “I’m going to die” because she couldn’t say it.

Lin Gou Wa lowered his head, not daring to look at Cheng Wan and the others.

"Well...it seems to be...General Gu."

The air in the hall seemed to have stopped flowing.

Old Mrs. Lin and the others frowned, their mouths slightly open, and everyone's face showed the same look of stupidity and resistance.

General Gu?

Is this the General Gu they were thinking of?

They seemed to only know one General Gu.

And if he wasn’t the General Gu they were thinking of, why would Lin Gou Wa have this expression?

"Is it Gu Yan?"

Cheng Wan's voice sounded calmly but with a hint of suppression.

Xu Zhinian turned his head to look at Cheng Wan, who was standing beside him with his lips tightly pursed and staring at Lin Gou Wa, and silently moved closer to Cheng Wan.

No matter what, she would stay with her.

"Well...it seems to be...it's him."

The huge stone in Cheng Wan's heart fell down, and her heart began to ache.

"Uncle..." Gu Yu curled his lips, tears welling up in his eyes.

He understood that his uncle was seriously injured and was about to die.

"Wanwan, uncle, wow..."

The little kid couldn't hold back any longer and started crying loudly while hugging Cheng Wan's neck.

The crying of the little baby made the almost stagnant air flow again, and also made Old Lady Lin and others feel anxious.

"No! Impossible! A'yan is very capable, he can't be hurt! He can't be seriously injured! And he's about to die! Nonsense! It's all nonsense! Gou Wa must have heard it wrong, Gou Wa must have heard it wrong!" Old Mrs. Lin was supported by Cheng Xiaogu, shaking her head and muttering, not knowing whether she was trying to convince herself or others.

Xiao Lin hugged her little daughter Cheng Jinchao and quickly agreed: "Mother is right! Who is A Yan? The emperor likes him so much, he will definitely send someone to protect him. The war is over, how could A Yan be injured at this time? Impossible!"

"Yes, yes, Gou Wa heard it wrong. Gou Wa and Tian Ya both heard it wrong. We can't believe this kind of news!" Wang turned her head and quickly wiped the corner of her eyes with her index finger. Then she looked at Lin Gou Wa and pretended to be angry and said, "I don't know where you heard this fake news and told it to our family. Gou Wa, you can't do this again in the future."

After saying that, Wang glanced at Cheng Wan who was coaxing Gu Yu softly.

What she was most worried about was that if something happened to Gu Yan, her daughter would not be able to bear it.

Lin Gou Wa scratched the back of his head and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't.

"Cousin, tell me everything you heard about Gu Yan."

Finally, Gu Yu was coaxed into submission. Cheng Wan gently patted the hiccuping Gu Yu's back and looked at Lin Gou Wa with a serious look.

Lin Gou Wa froze. He looked at Old Lady Lin, Wang and the others, then at Cheng Wan, unsure whether he should say it or not.

"Speak." Cheng Wan fixed Lin Gou Wa with his cold and gloomy eyes, and there was already a hint of coercion in his voice.

Lin Gou Wa was frightened by Cheng Wan. He didn't dare to look at Old Lady Lin and the others. After swallowing his saliva, he opened his mouth:

"Rumor has it that General Gu was chopped in the vitals by the enemy while trying to save others in the last battle.

General Gu was seriously injured, and the military camp recruited doctors to treat him, so the news spread widely. "
