The boss traveled through time in the end times: The prince was beaten by the princess again

On the way back, Xia He and Ding Jie followed behind Lin Qingwan silently without saying a word. Lin Qingwan knew that they had a lot of doubts, but if she didn't speak, they wouldn't ask! So, she took the initiative to turn around and smiled slightly. The two were stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do! The awkward scene made the three speechless!

Xia He was embarrassed because, although she was eager to protect the young lady, she was subdued by the bandit leader not long after. If it weren't for the young lady's great skills, the three of them would probably be dead now. And Ding Jie was pure shame that he didn't have any martial arts skills! Lin Qingwan looked at the two of them and comforted them: "I have my own secrets, you don't need to say too much, but you don't need to feel guilty! In the future, as long as you work hard and do what I say, you will definitely gain something!"

After hearing this, the two nodded heavily in agreement!

Then the three of them slowly walked towards the gate of Kyoto! Chatting and laughing, the awkward atmosphere no longer existed!

East Court

Gu paced back and forth anxiously! She wanted to know the result, but she waited and waited, but there was no reply letter, as if nothing had ever happened!

"How is this possible? Why is there no movement at all? Someone come!" Gu was getting impatient and wanted to send someone to find out if there was any reliable good news reported to the capital.

After receiving the order, the servant ran away quickly. After an incense stick of time, he came back without bringing any useful information.

Gu decided to go out and look around in person, and sent someone to continue contacting Scar!

However, when Gu packed up and went out, and sat by the window in the restaurant, someone brought out a piece of news that concerned her.

"Have you heard? Just now, someone reported to the police in Nanshan outside the city that many people had died!"

"What? There is such a thing? Can you tell me about it in detail?" The others couldn't wait to hear the details.

When Gu heard the word Nanshan, she pricked up her ears. She thought, Sure enough, there is news about Nanshan. I'm afraid that little girl is dead? Thinking of this, Gu couldn't help but smile.

"I heard that a farmer was on his way home this evening when he passed by a canyon and saw many people lying on the ground. He went closer to check and found that they were all dead. The farmer didn't dare to delay and ran to the government office to report it!"

"Who are these people? Did the people in the government office say anything?"

"No! I can't reveal the rest, but I heard there were more than a dozen people, and each of them had something pierced in the forehead, killing them instantly!"

"That's scary, who are they?"

"..."

Why did Gu feel that something was wrong? More than a dozen people? There were only three of them? She couldn't wait to ask in person.

So Kuankuan came to the dining table where they were sitting.

"Young men, is what you just said about Nanshan true?"

"Of course, my cousin is an official in the yamen!" The thin young man raised his hand and said proudly.

Seeing that she had not obtained any reliable information, Gu continued.

"Young man, please be kind. My daughter went to Nanshan this morning and hasn't come back yet. My daughter wouldn't be among the people you mentioned, right?" Gu asked pretending to be anxious, completely forgetting that if she really cared about her daughter, she would not be talking in the teahouse at this moment, but would take people to look for her.

"What? Your daughter went to Nanshan and hasn't come back yet? Why don't you go look for her?" A man in a blue robe looked at Gu with an anxious look on his face. This woman is really strange. Her daughter is missing, but she still has the leisure to listen to gossip here.

"Your daughter? No way! Don't worry, Madam. The people who collected the bodies today have checked. All the dead are men! There is no daughter!"

"What?!" Gu almost couldn't pretend anymore when she heard this. She was so angry that she didn't even try to hide her ferocity! Then she thought, maybe she was wrong. Why not ask again?

So she rolled her eyes and shouted, "Waiter, add a pot of good wine to the table, it's mine!"

"Ah? Madam, how can you do that? Just ask whatever you want to say. I'll tell you everything I know." The young man was very grateful and couldn't hide anything anymore.

"Excuse me, little brother, who are the people who died today?"

"Oh, this, I heard, are the bandits near Nanshan! One of them has a scar on his face. I heard that they often disturb the people around them, especially those who go to Nanshan to make a living! It's bad luck to meet them. This time, they may have met a tough guy and got themselves into trouble!" The young man lowered his voice and whispered.

"A bunch of trash!" Gu muttered. But she smiled slightly, pretending to be relieved. "That's good! As long as she's not my daughter!"

After saying that, she stepped over to her table, holding the wine glass in her right hand tightly. At this moment, she could hardly hide her anger! She was so angry!

At this moment, by chance! Lin Qingwan and the other two came towards them, and their leisurely appearance deeply hurt Gu's heart. Just by chance, the three of them also came to this restaurant! They just walked slowly from the mountain, and they were all hungry at this moment, so they passed by here and came in to eat.

"Hey! Aunt, why are you here too!" Lin Qingwan deliberately said loudly, just to offend Gu!

Madam! That can’t be your daughter, right? They are fine, you can relax.” The young man heard Lin Qingwan’s voice and looked over. Seeing that the person called the madam aunt, he thought it was the daughter she was talking about!

"Ahahaha, yes, yes, thank you, little brother." Gu said a few perfunctorily and stood up quickly to greet him. In front of outsiders, she must take into account her image as a loving mother!

"Qingwan, you scared your mother to death! I heard that a body was found on the Nanshan Mountain outside the city. I learned that you went to the Nanshan Mountain, so I was about to bring people to look for you. Fortunately, you are safe! It's great!" Gu said as she wiped away the non-existent tears with her sleeves, with an expression as if she had survived a calamity!

"Oh! Auntie, are you concerned about me? Also, how did you know I was going to Nanshan? If you knew, why are you still in this restaurant..." Lin Qingwan didn't finish her words.

Everyone suddenly understood after hearing this!

"Yes, her daughter is in trouble, but she is not in a hurry to look for her and is still eating in this restaurant!"

"Didn't you hear? That girl called her aunt! She's not her biological mother, so how could she not care about her biological mother like that?"

"Now that you've said that, I finally understand. Look at how hypocritical she is. You can tell at a glance that she's a stepmother who mistreats her legitimate daughter!"

"..." The voices of the crowd reached her ears and her face turned pale, but she still tried her best to maintain her image and not lose her temper.

"Qingwan, what you said is true! Mother is also worried about you. Your father entrusted you to me when he left! Of course I have to take good care of you. I know you are angry that I took your mother's place, but I am also the master's legal wife!" Gu also deliberately raised her voice, as if to explain to everyone that she was not a concubine who mistreat the legitimate daughter!

"Oh, so she's the second wife!"

"Then she should call me mother. It seems that she is still a child who has not grown up! She doesn't even call me mother!"

"Yes, the mother was anxiously asking about her situation just now."

"..."

Hearing the change in the public's discussion, she raised her chin proudly with an expression that said, "You are too young to compete with me."

Lin Qingwan was not annoyed, her lips curled slightly, fighting with her? In her previous life, she had watched Legend of Zhen Huan!

"What are you talking about, aunt? My mother has been missing for several years, and my father has never given up looking for her. Besides, my father also said that he is only temporarily promoting you to be his concubine. It's not wrong for me to call you aunt!"

Lin Qingwan also wiped her tears pretending to be aggrieved, looking like she wanted to cry but didn't dare to!

The discussion among the crowd was overwhelmingly in favor of Lin Qingwan.
