After confirming Lin Songren's intention to come, the emperor's face was as gloomy as the sun setting in winter.Everyone doesn't need to guess, just by looking at his expression, they can tell that he is very unhappy.
Lin Songren just didn't realize it, he continued to speak with a look of sharing the emperor's worries: "The emperor knows about Jin Wen, he has a straightforward temper and never hides things. Hearing the news in the palace, he told Wei Wei when he went back. Minister. Since the daughter of this minister is fortunate enough to have a relationship with the second prince, it is a great honor for the family of the minister. I know that my daughter is of ordinary education and is not worthy of the second prince. I hope to share the worries of the emperor and hope that the emperor will make me happy. The sincerity of the minister."
Lin Songren's words showed why he knew that Lin Wenxiu and the second prince were destined to be compatible, and then reduced the status of the Lin family to the dust, and invisibly praised the stupid second prince known to everyone. .It seemed that he was a normal prince, a real royal relative, and the Lin family really favored him.
Only then did the emperor's expression soften. The emperor took a look at Lin Jinwen, shook his head helplessly and sighed, "You, at best, you are straight-tempered, at worst, you are careless. You can just do that if I haven't decided yet. If you say it, you are not afraid that I will blame you?"
The emperor's tone did not seem to be angry, but Lin Jinwen still looked shocked, he hurriedly apologized and said: "Your Majesty, I... I didn't do it on purpose, I just thought that this matter had something to do with my family, so I said it quickly out."
The emperor raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I know your temperament and I don't want to blame you. Get up. Lin Qing, I know your loyalty, so get up too." When Lin Songren got up, he looked very grateful and wanted to embarrass the emperor. look like.
Seeing him like this, Lin Jinwen's heart cramped with discomfort. Sure enough, the officials are all comedians, he is, and so is Lin Songren.
When the emperor was in a better mood, his complexion became much better. He even gave Lin Songren a seat.Lin Songren thanked and thanked again, and then sat down gratefully.
The emperor looked at Lin Songren with a sad face and said: "Concubine Qi has been arguing with me recently, and I have been hesitant in my heart. Lin Qing is sincere to me, and I understand it in my heart. Today I will say something to Lin Qing from the bottom of my heart. In other words, even though Zhou An is the prince, he is ill after all, which is why I feel embarrassed and depressed about his marriage."
Lin Songren got up hurriedly and said sincerely: "The second prince has a pure heart, comparable to Wang Kao." Wang Kao is a well-known filial son in Dazhou, although he is stupid, he loves to read very much.His family was rich, and his mother was seriously ill in the year of the Xiucai exam, so he burned all the silk and satin at home to his mother, saying that if the mother was busy, what was the use of these precious things?
The county magistrate at that time heard about this, he personally encouraged Wang Kao, and wrote a letter to commend him. Wang Kao also became a filial son with a pure heart and kindness.
The emperor's face brightened again when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "Aiqing sit down, you don't have to be restricted by etiquette." After Lin Songren thanked him, he sat down again, his buttocks only sat on half of the chair, his body was straight, Very respectful.
Seeing the two of them back and forth, Lin Jinwen felt a toothache.He thought that his speech was already very artistic, but he didn't expect that the ancients flattered him so elegantly.This also shows from the side that as long as the status is strong enough, even a stupid person can be blown out.The most important thing is that other people also love to hear this flower. When you see the emperor's address to Lin Songren, doesn't it change from cold Lin Qing to Ai Qing?
The emperor said: "I have understood my love for you, and it has solved a big problem in my heart." Lin Songren dared not dare.
The emperor spoke to Lin Songren a few more heartfelt words between the monarch and his ministers, and then made people retreat.Although he did not expressly state that the marriage was granted, it looked like it was done.
After Lin Songren resigned, the emperor looked at Lin Jinwen who was standing like a statue and said, "What does Jinwen think of this marriage?"
Lin Jinwen blinked and said: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the marriages of children have been ordered by their parents and matchmakers. Anyway, it should be up to you, Your Majesty, and the concubine Qi in the palace."
The emperor looked at him and shook his head and said, "Forget it, you should be confused if you can't figure it out." Lin Jinwen looked puzzled, as if I wasn't married to the second prince, how could I be wronged.
At noon, the emperor had lunch with Concubine Qi. Lin Jinwen had been with the emperor all morning, and the emperor asked him to rest.Naturally, this rest is not going home, he has his own rest room in the rest place of the Yulin Army, which is very close to Xiao Rugui.
When Lin Jinwen went, Xiao Rugui was wearing casual clothes and was practicing martial arts with a long spear.Lin Jinwen didn't know what the strength was, but he felt that Xiao Rugui's spear was majestic and very good-looking, and he had the demeanor of a martial arts master in the novel.If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Lin Jinwen wanted to applaud him and say hello.
Xiao Rugui had been playing with his back to Lin Jinwen all the time. Finally, when he retracted the gun, he drew a circle around the ground. Suddenly, he saw a person standing there behind him, and his heart tightened. His first reaction was to raise his spear and stab at him.
The tip of the gun barely stopped at Lin Jinwen's neck. Lin Jinwen seemed to be stupefied with no expression on his face. Xiao Rugui looked complicated, annoyed and anxious. He threw down the spear. He hurried to Lin Jinwen and said in a tense voice: "Are you OK?"
Lin Jinwen blinked, and said in a hollow voice, "It's okay."
Xiao Rugui's beautiful phoenix eyes moved slightly, and he looked Lin Jinwen up and down, and found that there was nothing serious about him, so the expression on his face relaxed a little: "Shouldn't Guard Lin be following the emperor at this time? ? Why are you free to come back today?”
Lin Jinwen raised his eyebrows and said slowly: "Commander Xiao, why do you sound so bitter? You can't afford a big sword in a humble job. If you really meet some kind of assassin, what's the use of following me around the emperor? You still have to follow Commander Xiao like you characters."
Xiao Rugui was just asking casually, but after hearing Lin Jinwen's answer, he twitched his eyelids and smiled and said, "Guard Lin, the palace guard, was arranged by me alone, although it is not like an iron bucket, But it can be regarded as heavily guarded, if there is an assassin, the emperor will be the first to ask for my head."
Lin Jinwen glanced at Xiao Rugui and nodded in agreement, "That's true."
Xiao Rugui's eyelids twitched again, he took a deep breath silently and said, "Guard Lin, rest well, I have something to leave first."
Lin Jinwen said: "Commander Xiao please."
When Xiao Ru returned to her room to change clothes, Lin Jinwen also went back to her residence.It has to be said that the emperor had a partiality for Lin Jinwen, and the rest of the Imperial Forest Army lived in the same house with several people, except for him.As a guard, not to mention living alone, the room is also very luxurious and comfortable.
Lin Jinwen lay on the soft bed, thinking of Xiao Rugui in his heart.He thought Xiao Rugui was quite interesting, and Xiao Rugui's attire just now didn't look like something was wrong.If it wasn't for him deliberately ignoring his tricks, Xiao Rugui probably wouldn't have left at all.
Xiao Rugui was not only interesting but also contradictory. He obviously didn't want to have more contact with him, but because of the emperor's attitude and various rumors, he had to maintain a good relationship with him. He looked helpless.
But people in this world have their own way of life, Xiao Rugui is like this, so is he.
@@@
After Lin Jinwen rested all afternoon, he lay on the bed like a salted fish.He really wants to sleep, but in this strange place like the palace, no matter how soft the bed is, he can't sleep at all. Thinking of some silly things.
When the emperor sent someone to pass him on, Lin Jinwen had already thought of what name he would give his child after birth.
Lin Jinwen followed the eunuch delivering the decree to Qiankun Hall where the emperor lived. Seeing that the eunuch was a little strange, he asked, "What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?"
The little eunuch looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, and he was round and round. His eyes were beautiful, and he curled up when he smiled. He said: "Guard Lin has a sharp eye, and his slave name is Yuan Xiao. He was just promoted by the prince to serve the emperor today." of."
Lin Jinwen sighed after hearing this, and said casually: "The emperor has changed a lot of people recently, and I don't even know many court ladies and eunuchs."
Yuan Xiao smiled and said: "It is the honor of the servants to serve the emperor." The rest did not say a word.
Lin Jinwen nodded and said: "This is true, I also serve the emperor."
Yuan Xiao was happy, his eyes were big and beautiful, and he half-squinted his smile, which was very pleasing, and the smile in his eyes deepened and said: "What Guard Lin said is going to make this slave, how can a slave talk to you?" Compare."
Lin Jinwen spread his hands and said: "There is nothing incomparable. You have stayed with the emperor longer than me. Serve him well, and there will always be a day when you will shine."
"Come here." Yuan Xiao said: "This slave is here to thank Guard Lin for his good words."
Yuan Xiao brought her to Qiankun Gate and stopped. Wang Jin'an at the gate of the hall stepped forward and led Lin Jinwen into the hall.
After entering, the emperor pointed to the two trays covered with red silk in front of the imperial case and said, "This is for you."
Wang Jin'an quietly pushed Lin Jinwen and said, "Guard Lin, this is a reward from the emperor, don't you want to see it?"
Lin Jinwen walked over curiously, and lifted the red silk on the far side, only to see that the tray was covered with white silver.It was the first time Lin Jinwen saw so much silver, and his eyes were a little dazzled.
He looked at the emperor carefully and asked: "Your Majesty, is this for me... no, for a lowly position?"
The emperor snorted coldly and said, "If it's not for you, who is it for? Take it home."
Lin Jinwen touched the money, and said with a hopeless look: "This is too much, I dare not take it for a humble job."
The emperor said: "You deserve it. You did a good job last time in the case of Liu Wei's family. Today, Jing Zhaoyin came to report that you saved Zhou An on the street yesterday. It was because of this that I also have to reward you." What do you order?"
Zhou An was slaughtered on the street as a fat man, and was almost beaten, so of course it cannot be hidden.Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened early this morning that his face turned ashen and reported the matter. Fortunately, Zhou An was fine, and the emperor directly executed Yan Laosan. Jing Zhaoyin saved his life, but this Jing Zhaoyin's official position is his I can't do it anymore, the emperor randomly circled a place where no shit was done and sent people away.
Lin Jinwen looked shocked and panicked, then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I haven't seen the second prince very much in my humble position. I don't know if it was him yesterday. He rescued the second prince a little late, and he was rude to the second prince. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
The emperor said: "It's okay, it's your fate that you rescued him. In the future, as long as you serve me sincerely, I will never treat you badly with the rewards you deserve."
Wang Jin'an was about to say some words of consolation and flatter the emperor and let Lin Jinwen take things away when he saw Lin Jinwen solemnly said: "Your Majesty, I can learn from the world's loyalty to the Emperor, and I am willing to do anything for the Emperor." " His tone and actions almost swear to the sky, Wang Jin'an felt a little sore in his heart, thinking that silver is really a good thing, and wood can be enlightened.
The emperor was very satisfied, he gestured to Yinzi with his chin, and Lin Jinwen stepped forward to leave with two trays in his arms.
After the people left, Wang Jin'an walked up to the emperor and said, "Your majesty, you see that guard Lin is so happy that he can't tell the difference between east, west, and north when he sees the silver."
The emperor picked up the tea on the table and took two sips: "Lin Songren's family background is mediocre, and he can spend whatever money he has at home. How much can he spend? He said he hasn't seen anything good. I don't have anything else, but I still have money." Give him some rewards to make him happy. I forgot to tell him just now that I have given his sister to Zhou An as a side concubine."
Wang Jin'an hurriedly said: "The emperor cares so much about Guard Lin, Guard Lin understands in his heart. When Guard Lin returns home, he will naturally hear about this little thing." worlds apart.
The emperor snorted and closed his eyes half-closed, but Wang Jin'an didn't dare to say anything after seeing his expression.After some time, the emperor suddenly asked, "When will Liu Yan arrive in the capital?"
Wang Jin'an said: "The emperor mentioned the reward, saying that General Liu will be able to arrive in the capital in mid-April after traveling day and night. The specifics depend on the itinerary."
The emperor opened his eyes and murmured: "It's not too long after the calculation, and I directly told everyone that Liu Yan is going to return to the capital. Speaking of which, it will be the Queen Mother's death day in a few days."
Wang Jin'an knew that the emperor didn't want to talk about the Liu family, so he put away his expression and said solemnly: "Yes, the Queen Mother's death is on the sixth day of April. Liu Nian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was still asking about this year's worship. The emperor approved it at that time. According to the example."
The emperor sighed and said, "I forgot. On the birthday of the Queen Mother this year, I asked Zhou Rui and Zhou An to offer incense on my behalf to show my filial piety. Xiao Rugui and Lin Jinwen were responsible for the guards."
Wang Jin'an said: "Yes."
After saying this, the emperor closed his eyes again, his expression flickering, making people unpredictable, and he looked extraordinarily cold.
The news that Lin Jinwen walked out of the palace with silver in his arms and that Liu Yan was going back to Beijing quickly spread throughout the capital. When Zhou Rui heard this in the mansion, he was so angry that he smashed his favorite nine-turn white jade pot.
Zhou Rui felt that he had been a bit sloppy lately. He managed to put someone in front of the emperor, but he was cleared out within two years.Fortunately, that person was usually inconspicuous, and he was not suspected much, but he was sent to the cold palace.
It's just that in this way, he has no way to replace Zhou An's marriage partner with his own.In the end, before he could figure out a solution, the emperor gave Zhou An a side concubine, who was Lin Jinwen's younger sister.
Zhou Rui couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do.
Wen Jingxian stood aside and waited until Zhou Rui's anger dissipated before she said, "Why are you so angry, the second brother is not clear-headed, so what if he is given a marriage? Besides, he is just a side concubine. Could it be that he will still help the second brother? The Lin family may be in a panic, and this is a good time to win over someone."
Zhou Rui regained his composure after hearing her soft words, he stepped forward to hold Wen Jingxian's hand and regained his former composure, he said with a smile: "It's because I thought about it, it's also a happy event to kiss my second brother. It's just that Lin Jinwen doesn't know how to flatter, relying on his father's favor, he is said to have saved Zhou An, does he really consider himself a bright pearl?"
Wen Jingxian lowered her eyes and said: "Master, don't be impatient. Gu Qinglin is pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to invite him here. After a while, when he feels better, I will post a post for him. When the time comes, Master Shi will have a good talk with Lin Jinwen. I will definitely be able to recruit him."
Zhou Ruidao: "I understand what you said, but he is not as unclear as Zhou An, he is a normal person, and."
Wen Jingxian smiled, and she said: "Master, my father said that you have been impatient recently, and you are really in a hurry. So what if he is a normal person? As long as Father doesn't admit it, who would dare to say that he is a bright pearl? My lord Just wait at home safely, and the emperor will naturally be able to see you."
Zhou Rui felt irritable when he heard the word "waiting", and he also knew that what Wen Jingxian said was right, but he was really impatient to wait.He has been the eldest prince for almost 30 years, and he doesn't know when he will be the first.What's more, Liu Yan is back, and Liu Yan is a strong backing.
@@@
Naturally, Lin Jinwen didn't know this, but when he returned to Lin's house, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.He didn't think much about it, so he went back to his yard with the money in his arms.
When he went back, Gu Qinglin was looking at the dowry list, when he saw the silver in his hand, he stood up and said, "This is it?"
"The emperor gave it to you, take it." Lin Jinwen put the things by Gu Qinglin's hand.
Gu Qinglin smiled lightly, pointed to the dowry list and said: "Today, people gave me money. This is my mother's dowry list sent by my father. Everything is in the warehouse, and it is said that it will be given to me tomorrow." Go tidy up."
After hearing this, Lin Jinwen thought for a while and said, "Take what is given to you."
Gu Qinglin hummed and said: "The emperor delivered a decree this afternoon, giving the eldest lady of the mansion to the second prince as a side concubine."
"Side concubine?" Lin Jinwen was stunned. He frowned and said, "Why?" In the palace today, he saw that Lin Songren was sincerely willing to marry Lin Wenxiu to the second prince. In the end, she was a side concubine.
Gu Qinglin looked at Lin Jinwen's frowning face, and said in a low voice: "Today, the fire in the small kitchen is not enough. Sanqi went to the big kitchen to help me cook porridge. I heard people in the house talking about it, saying that it was the eldest lady. The one who should have been given the title of main concubine was only given the title of side concubine because of the quarrel between you and your wife yesterday."
"My reason?" Lin Jinwen sneered, and he said, "Father, do you know the rumors in the house?" He intended to remind Lin Wenjuan of this marriage with good intentions, but in the end, someone took the opportunity to hold him in the quagmire and became a victim. People hate the existence.
Gu Qinglin said: "Father returned home earlier than you, so I must have heard about it."
Lin Songren just didn't realize it, he continued to speak with a look of sharing the emperor's worries: "The emperor knows about Jin Wen, he has a straightforward temper and never hides things. Hearing the news in the palace, he told Wei Wei when he went back. Minister. Since the daughter of this minister is fortunate enough to have a relationship with the second prince, it is a great honor for the family of the minister. I know that my daughter is of ordinary education and is not worthy of the second prince. I hope to share the worries of the emperor and hope that the emperor will make me happy. The sincerity of the minister."
Lin Songren's words showed why he knew that Lin Wenxiu and the second prince were destined to be compatible, and then reduced the status of the Lin family to the dust, and invisibly praised the stupid second prince known to everyone. .It seemed that he was a normal prince, a real royal relative, and the Lin family really favored him.

The emperor raised his hand and said, "Forget it, I know your temperament and I don't want to blame you. Get up. Lin Qing, I know your loyalty, so get up too." When Lin Songren got up, he looked very grateful and wanted to embarrass the emperor. look like.
Seeing him like this, Lin Jinwen's heart cramped with discomfort. Sure enough, the officials are all comedians, he is, and so is Lin Songren.
When the emperor was in a better mood, his complexion became much better. He even gave Lin Songren a seat.Lin Songren thanked and thanked again, and then sat down gratefully.
The emperor looked at Lin Songren with a sad face and said: "Concubine Qi has been arguing with me recently, and I have been hesitant in my heart.

Lin Jinwen sighed after hearing this, and said casually: "The emperor has changed a lot of people recently, and I don't even know many court ladies and eunuchs."
Yuan Xiao smiled and said: "It is the honor of the servants to serve the emperor." The rest did not say a word.
Lin Jinwen nodded and said: "This is true, I also serve the emperor."
Yuan Xiao was happy, his eyes were big and beautiful, and he half-squinted his smile, which was very pleasing, and the smile in his eyes deepened and said: "What Guard Lin said is going to make this slave, how can a slave talk to you?" Compare."
Lin Jinwen spread his hands and said: "There is nothing incomparable. You have stayed with the emperor longer than me. Serve him well, and there will always be a day when you will shine."
"Come here." Yuan Xiao said: "This slave is here to thank Guard Lin for his good words."
Yuan Xiao brought her to Qiankun Gate and stopped. Wang Jin'an at the gate of the hall stepped forward and led Lin Jinwen into the hall.
After entering, the emperor pointed to the two trays covered with red silk in front of the imperial case and said, "This is for you."
Wang Jin'an quietly pushed Lin Jinwen and said, "Guard Lin, this is a reward from the emperor, don't you want to see it?"
Lin Jinwen walked over curiously, and lifted the red silk on the far side, only to see that the tray was covered with white silver.It was the first time Lin Jinwen saw so much silver, and his eyes were a little dazzled.
He looked at the emperor carefully and asked: "Your Majesty, is this for me... no, for a lowly position?"
The emperor snorted coldly and said, "If it's not for you, who is it for? Take it home."
Lin Jinwen touched the money, and said with a hopeless look: "This is too much, I dare not take it for a humble job."
The emperor said: "You deserve it. You did a good job last time in the case of Liu Wei's family. Today, Jing Zhaoyin came to report that you saved Zhou An on the street yesterday. It was because of this that I also have to reward you." What do you order?"
Zhou An was slaughtered on the street as a fat man, and was almost beaten, so of course it cannot be hidden.Jing Zhaoyin was so frightened early this morning that his face turned ashen and reported the matter.

Wang Jin'an knew that the emperor didn't want to talk about the Liu family, so he put away his expression and said solemnly: "Yes, the Queen Mother's death is on the sixth day of April. Liu Nian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, was still asking about this year's worship. The emperor approved it at that time. According to the example."
The emperor sighed and said, "I forgot. On the birthday of the Queen Mother this year, I asked Zhou Rui and Zhou An to offer incense on my behalf to show my filial piety. Xiao Rugui and Lin Jinwen were responsible for the guards."
Wang Jin'an said: "Yes."
After saying this, the emperor closed his eyes again, his expression flickering, making people unpredictable, and he looked extraordinarily cold.
The news that Lin Jinwen walked out of the palace with silver in his arms and that Liu Yan was going back to Beijing quickly spread throughout the capital. When Zhou Rui heard this in the mansion, he was so angry that he smashed his favorite nine-turn white jade pot.
Zhou Rui felt that he had been a bit sloppy lately. He managed to put someone in front of the emperor, but he was cleared out within two years.Fortunately, that person was usually inconspicuous, and he was not suspected much, but he was sent to the cold palace.
It's just that in this way, he has no way to replace Zhou An's marriage partner with his own.In the end, before he could figure out a solution, the emperor gave Zhou An a side concubine, who was Lin Jinwen's younger sister.
Zhou Rui couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do.
Wen Jingxian stood aside and waited until Zhou Rui's anger dissipated before she said, "Why are you so angry, the second brother is not clear-headed, so what if he is given a marriage? Besides, he is just a side concubine. Could it be that he will still help the second brother? The Lin family may be in a panic, and this is a good time to win over someone."
Zhou Rui regained his composure after hearing her soft words, he stepped forward to hold Wen Jingxian's hand and regained his former composure, he said with a smile: "It's because I thought about it, it's also a happy event to kiss my second brother. It's just that Lin Jinwen doesn't know how to flatter, relying on his father's favor, he is said to have saved Zhou An, does he really consider himself a bright pearl?"
Wen Jingxian lowered her eyes and said: "Master, don't be impatient. Gu Qinglin is pregnant now, so it's inconvenient for me to invite him here. After a while, when he feels better, I will post a post for him. When the time comes, Master Shi will have a good talk with Lin Jinwen. I will definitely be able to recruit him."
Zhou Ruidao: "I understand what you said, but he is not as unclear as Zhou An, he is a normal person, and."
Wen Jingxian smiled, and she said: "Master, my father said that you have been impatient recently, and you are really in a hurry. So what if he is a normal person? As long as Father doesn't admit it, who would dare to say that he is a bright pearl? My lord Just wait at home safely, and the emperor will naturally be able to see you."
Zhou Rui felt irritable when he heard the word "waiting", and he also knew that what Wen Jingxian said was right, but he was really impatient to wait.He has been the eldest prince for almost 30 years, and he doesn't know when he will be the first.What's more, Liu Yan is back, and Liu Yan is a strong backing.
@@@
Naturally, Lin Jinwen didn't know this, but when he returned to Lin's house, he felt that the atmosphere was a little weird.He didn't think much about it, so he went back to his yard with the money in his arms.
When he went back, Gu Qinglin was looking at the dowry list, when he saw the silver in his hand, he stood up and said, "This is it?"
"The emperor gave it to you, take it." Lin Jinwen put the things by Gu Qinglin's hand.
Gu Qinglin smiled lightly, pointed to the dowry list and said: "Today, people gave me money. This is my mother's dowry list sent by my father. Everything is in the warehouse, and it is said that it will be given to me tomorrow." Go tidy up."
After hearing this, Lin Jinwen thought for a while and said, "Take what is given to you."
Gu Qinglin hummed and said: "The emperor delivered a decree this afternoon, giving the eldest lady of the mansion to the second prince as a side concubine."
"Side concubine?" Lin Jinwen was stunned. He frowned and said, "Why?" In the palace today, he saw that Lin Songren was sincerely willing to marry Lin Wenxiu to the second prince. In the end, she was a side concubine.
Gu Qinglin looked at Lin Jinwen's frowning face, and said in a low voice: "Today, the fire in the small kitchen is not enough. Sanqi went to the big kitchen to help me cook porridge. I heard people in the house talking about it, saying that it was the eldest lady. The one who should have been given the title of main concubine was only given the title of side concubine because of the quarrel between you and your wife yesterday."
"My reason?" Lin Jinwen sneered, and he said, "Father, do you know the rumors in the house?" He intended to remind Lin Wenjuan of this marriage with good intentions, but in the end, someone took the opportunity to hold him in the quagmire and became a victim. People hate the existence.
Gu Qinglin said: "Father returned home earlier than you, so I must have heard about it."
