Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Gu Qinghe drooped her eyelashes, and combined with what Niu Jun had told her about what happened in the military camp, she finally figured out why Lin Cong targeted Chen Qingshan.

It is not necessarily that mediocre people will be jealous of brave and intelligent people, but Lin Cong will.

He was leading the mission assigned to him by his father, but was jealous that Chen Qingshan was appreciated and praised by General Huo.

He threw all his father's instructions to the back of his mind and only thought about how to go against Chen Qingshan. After all, in his eyes, a little soldier from a remote village could never overshadow him.

Retracting his thoughts, Gu Qinghe glanced at Qi Mingyue, "Is the princess okay now?"

Speaking of Wu Wangfei, Qi Mingyue couldn't help but sit up straight, "Very good, because there are Wu Wang's people in the capital, she seldom goes out, Pingyang has been accompanying her in the mansion these days, and the mother and daughter have been very harmonious recently, embroidering and playing chess, and I see that my aunt has gained a lot of weight these days."

Seeing Gu Qinghe's curved eyebrows, Qi Mingyue was distracted for a moment, then scratched his head and said, "Pingyang originally planned to come with me today, but this girl looks smart, but in fact, she has an empty mind. In addition, this matter is also related to Huo Shibei. If she hears it, I'm afraid she will make trouble again."

Pingyang and Huo Shibei?

Gu Qinghe thought of the tiger skin that Pingyang had asked her to hand over to Huo Shibei. There must be some connection between the two of them, but she was immersed in her own world in her previous life and didn't care about other things, so she had never heard of it.

But she knew that Pingyang and Huo Shibei were not together when she died in her previous life.

After Shao Wei's death, the border was in danger. Huo Shibei supported the new emperor to ascend the throne, and then went to guard the border. Pingyang also got married.

However, the man she married seemed to be an inconspicuous minor official. Gu Qinghe had never seen him or heard of him.

"What are your plans next?"

Gu Qinghe had nothing to do in the Dali Temple these days, and his mind was full of these things.

So when Qi Mingyue asked, she immediately replied: "Is the one from the Lin family who is planning to discuss marriage with the Fourth Prince a descendant of Madam Lin?"

"That's not the case. Mrs. Lin only has one child, Lin Cong. Since Lin Cong passed away, Mrs. Lin has been ill and is still lying in bed."

Qi Mingyue shrugged, "But the Lin family is not a famous noble family, and there are not so many complicated rules. Lin Shiqiang has a concubine whom he has loved very much since he was young. The concubine gave birth to three daughters for him in a row. The eldest and second daughters are twins. Now they are both of the right age to be married. If His Majesty wants to grant a marriage, he can directly make this concubine his wife."

Gu Qinghe took a breath, "Is the Fourth Prince willing?"

"Why wouldn't I be unwilling? But I'm thinking that His Majesty may not give the Lin family the title of principal wife. At most, he will give her the title of concubine."

Gu Qinghe thought so too.

Mrs. Lin had a good relationship with Princess Wu in her early years. Perhaps because of her husband's instructions, she deliberately tried to please Princess Wu for many years. Although there were interests involved, there should be some feelings between the two.

Qi Mingyue thought about starting with Mrs. Lin.

Otherwise, if the emperor really granted a marriage between the fourth prince and the daughter of the Lin family, the first person to be kicked out would be Madam Lin, the stumbling block.

But there was no need for the two of them to take action. Qi Mingyue's men outside came in hurriedly and leaned over to whisper a few words into Qi Mingyue's ear. Qi Mingyue stood up suddenly and asked, "Really?"

"I saw it with my own eyes."

Qi Mingyue's eyes lit up and he laughed loudly. He closed the fan in his hand and tapped it against his palm a few times. "Great, great, it seems like God is helping us."

He waved to Gu Qinghe and said, "Let's go and watch the fun."

"What's wrong?" Gu Qinghe was puzzled.

"Mrs. Lin went to beat the drum for hearing the news."

……

When the two arrived, people from Jingzhao Prefecture and Shao Xingjian had already arrived, and even Wei Yanzhou stood aside to watch the fun.

Seeing Gu Qinghe, he immediately came over, his eyes wandering over her thinner face, and whispered, "I told you before that Shao Wei can't protect you."

Gu Qinghe didn't bother to pay attention to him. Seeing her unhappy expression, Qi Mingyue tactfully stood between her and Wei Yanzhou, and greeted Wei Yanzhou with a smiling face, "Prince Wei."

Under the Dengwen drum, the thin lady grasped the drumstick tightly with her slender and trembling arms and struck the drum.

The sound was not loud, but it still seemed a bit deafening when it fell into the ears.

The prefect wanted to kick his legs and pretend to be dead, so as to leave the matter to the people from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice standing by.

Fortunately, the kind-hearted Dali Temple Minister Shao Xingjian seemed to have noticed his pale face and spoke for him, "Madam Lin, do you know that once the drum for hearing the news is struck, you will first have to endure the punishment of twenty lashes?"

"She's crazy, crazy, she's crazy!" Lin Shiqiang rushed forward and tried to pull her away. "She has been ill these past few days. It seems that she is a little out of her mind."

"I know." Mrs. Lin said in a clear and cold voice. She shook off her husband's arm and knelt on the ground. "I am willing to be punished."

"Okay." There was some admiration in Shao Xingjian's eyes. It had nothing to do with anything else, it was just admiration for a mother.

He asked, "What are you suing for?"

"I want to sue King Wu for being greedy and killing my son Lin Cong, coveting my Lin family's estate and money, and imprisoning someone else's wife!"

There was silence all around. Lin Shiqiang's face showed one of extreme defeat at first, but then returned to normal. He was no longer obsessed with dragging Mrs. Lin back home, but stood quietly by the side.

Gu Qinghe clenched his fists suddenly.

Wei Yanzhou also looked towards her.

The ruthless word came out from those thin lips, "Stupid."

Gu Qinghe frowned and moved a few steps to the side, which really ruined his mood.

Twenty lashes would probably leave even a strong person with a layer of skin peeled off. Mrs. Lin is so weak, can she really bear it?

Qi Mingyue saw a familiar figure wrapped in a thick cloak and wearing a veil not far away, and her eyebrows jumped suddenly.

Perhaps the person wielding the whip saw that Mrs. Lin was weak, or perhaps it was due to some other reason. In any case, the force of the whip did not decrease, but it was not enough to kill anyone when it hit her.

But even so, after twenty whips, Mrs. Lin was still breathing in more than out.

She looked at those high and mighty adults and curled her lips. "I want to sue the King of Wu for killing my son, coveting my Lin family's manor and money, and imprisoning someone else's wife..."

Lin Shiqiang crawled to the middle on his knees and begged Shao Xingjian and the others, "Her health is not good to begin with. If she continues like this, she will die. Can you take her away for treatment?"
