The strongman's wife who traveled through time and space and became a young general

"Uncle Cheng, I'm fine." Gu Anqing said to the middle-aged man, and then continued to introduce him, "This is Miss Lin Qiuer who saved my life in the Nalan Mountains and her two brothers. They will stay in the mansion tonight."

Gu Cheng looked at Lin Qiu'er with a suspicious look, from head to toe, "Young Master, are you saying that this skinny girl saved you? Even if you are lying to Uncle Cheng, you have to find someone whose physique is convincing, such as the two young men beside her."

Lin Qiuer didn't care about what Gu Cheng said. After all, the fact was that she was just a thin little girl.

Thinking about it, she almost laughed at her own thoughts.

However, the two brothers around Lin Qiu'er were not happy to see her being questioned in this way. In their minds, the younger sister was recognized by everyone in the village as the next witch doctor, and the dignity of the first generation of witch doctors could not be desecrated.

"Old man, what did you say?" Lin Nanyue pushed Gu Cheng forward angrily.

This push created a huge force that pushed Gu Cheng back more than ten meters. Fortunately, the two guards at the door stepped forward in time to hold him up, otherwise he might have fallen on his back. Despite this, the three of them still staggered back four or five steps involuntarily before they could stand firm.

Gu Anqing looked at Lin Nanyue in surprise, secretly marveling at his divine power.

Chang Qing was muttering to himself, "This is just the beginning. Miss Lin kicked a wooden block weighing hundreds of pounds a dozen feet away with just a light kick." The young master's words "Don't judge a book by its cover" really did not lie.

Gu Cheng was so embarrassed by Lin Nanyue's push that he should be angry. However, his reaction surprised the three siblings. Instead of being angry, he laughed heartily, as if he had seen something incredible.

"Hahaha, good, good, good! I didn't expect to meet such an outstanding young man in this frontier area. It's really eye-opening!" Gu Cheng patted the dust off his body and strode towards Lin Nanyue, his face filled with joy.

Seeing that the old man was not angry but laughed and praised her, Lin Nanyue couldn't help but wonder in her heart: "Is this old man stupid?"

"Little sister, why don't you take a look at this old man? Does he have any serious illness?" Lin Nanyue said to Lin Qiuer with a troubled look on her face. Although the old man had a bad mouth, he didn't bother with the patient.

No one present expected Lin Nanyue to say such a thing, and Gu Cheng was also stunned by this sentence.

Lin Qiu'er touched her nose and tried her best to suppress her smile. "No need to look at him, he is in good health. He just admires you, don't make a fuss."

Although Lin Nanyue still didn't believe it in his heart, since his younger sister said so, he could only believe it. He sincerely thanked Gu Cheng: "Thank you. But in our family, except for my third brother, everyone else is better than me."

Lin Nanye, who was standing nearby and engrossed in watching his silly brother's performance, was stepped on for no reason and became a foil.

Gu Anqing couldn't hold back his smile any longer and started laughing.

This smile made Gu Cheng feel a little embarrassed. Don't think he couldn't see it, Changqing's teeth were showing when he smiled so hard.

Lin Qiuer knew that she couldn't let her silly fourth brother talk anymore, otherwise the joke would definitely get longer, so she said, "Mr. Gu, do you think we should go in first and then talk in detail? Stand at the door and don't let the neighbors around the Gu Mansion laugh at you."

"Miss Lin is right. Changqing, let's go into the mansion first." After Gu Anqing finished speaking, he pointed with his movable finger on Changqing's shoulder.

Chang Qing immediately received the order from the young master, and said with a smile: "Young Master Lin is right. Uncle Cheng, although Miss Lin looks skinny and small, her strength should not be underestimated."

Gu Cheng was half-believing and half-doubting. Both the Young Master and Chang Qing praised this little girl highly. Could she really be that amazing?

However, the most important thing now is to let the doctor in the mansion see the young master as soon as possible. Gu Cheng shook his head, temporarily putting aside his doubts, and his face returned to normal.

"Three of you, please come in."

The group walked through the gate of the Gu Mansion and stepped onto a straight road paved with stone slabs. There was an archway at the beginning and end of the corridor on both sides, one close to the gate and the other close to the study. Lin Qiuer guessed that these doors should lead to various courtyards in the mansion.

A couplet hanging on both sides of the study caught Lin Qiuer's attention: "Swords and battles in the smoke and dust, flags at the pass in the wind and rain." The couplet made her feel inexplicably familiar. She frowned and thought, but couldn't remember where she had seen it.

"If you three don't mind, you can rest in the reception room for a while. I'll have someone prepare some food and send it over. The young master has been away from home for a long time, so I'm going to take him to meet the master first." Gu Cheng said to Lin Qiuer and her two siblings as they walked. Then he waved and called a servant standing on the side of the road and gave him a few instructions.

"We don't mind, you can do whatever you want." Lin Qiu'er understood what Gu Cheng meant, they needed to step away first.

Lin Qiu'er stepped into the mansion of a rich and powerful family for the first time, and couldn't help but cast a curious look at the surrounding environment. Lin Nanyue and Lin Nanye also saw the servants standing on both sides, and although they were a little puzzled, they didn't think much about it.

The servant called by Gu Cheng bowed slightly and pointed to the archway on the right near the study hall, signaling Lin Qiuer and her two siblings to follow him. The three of them, led by Lin Qiuer, and the two brothers guarded behind them on the left and right, followed the servants and left.

After their figures disappeared through the archway, Gu Cheng's face suddenly became serious and a fierce aura emanated from him, completely losing his simple and honest demeanor.

"Young Master, tell me about your trip to the Nalan Mountains as we walk." Gu Cheng explained solemnly, "I received the news this morning that you died in the Nalan Mountains. The master's body couldn't bear such news, so I kept it from him. But I immediately sent guards to investigate, and I'm just waiting to report to the master after getting the exact results."

After hearing what Gu Cheng said, Gu Anqing's expression turned gloomy. "It's just as Miss Lin and I guessed before. These people really do everything they can to achieve their goals."

"What do you mean?" Although Gu Cheng was anxious in his heart, it didn't show on his face at all.

Gu Anqing then recounted how he was chased by three men in black after entering the Nalan Mountains. Although he killed the three men, he was also poisoned by one of them. Later, he was rescued by Lin Qiuer who happened to be collecting herbs in the mountains and was taken to the mountain village to recuperate.

"Where did Changqing go when you were being chased?" Gu Cheng glared at Changqing angrily, his expression as if he wanted to chop him with a knife.

Chang Qing lowered his head, no longer having the attitude that he had when he was outside the door just now to laugh at Gu Cheng. He knew in his heart that he had failed in his duty this time.

Seeing Gu Cheng glaring at Chang Qing, Gu Anqing quickly defended him, "I was anxious to find the herbs the doctor mentioned, so I separated from Chang Qing to look for them. Maybe they have been following us all along, and only started chasing us after Chang Qing and I separated."

Gu Cheng would not listen to Gu Anqing's explanation. As the chief guard of the Gu Mansion, he always adhered to the principle of clear rewards and punishments. He rewarded those who had made contributions and punished those who had made mistakes, and he would not allow others to intercede.

"When this is over, go get the twenty military sticks yourself."

Chang Qing lowered his head and responded in a muffled voice, "Chang Qing accepts the punishment." He knew in his heart that this mistake was serious, and he had no intention of resisting, so he could only nod and admit his mistake.

Gu Anqing saw that there was no hope of pleading for mercy, so he said no more. He knew Gu Cheng's temper. Although he was usually kind and amiable, he was very principled in punishing his servants and would never show favoritism.

Gu Cheng walked with the two men with a gloomy face. After they arrived at Qinghui Garden where Gu Anqing lived and put him to bed, the doctor from the Gu residence hurried in.

After the doctor placed the medicine box beside the bed, he hurriedly took Gu Anqing's pulse.

Gu Cheng and Chang Qing stared at the doctor's face nervously, trying to gauge the severity of the illness from his expression.

However, the doctor's expression remained the same. After taking the pulse of one patient, he continued to take the pulse of the other patient.

The two were extremely anxious, but there was nothing they could do. They could only stand by and wait for the doctor to finish taking their pulse.
