Seeing that Wan Jinlan really disliked him, Xiao Feng found some clothes in the closet and took a cold shower.
After Xiao Feng finished washing, he entered the house, climbed onto the couch, and with a long arm, he scooped Wan Jinlan into his arms. He placed a kiss on her forehead and said, "Come with me to Hua County. This time you can meet your brother."
Wan Jinlan was instantly excited and tugged at his collar with both hands, "Have you seen him? How is he now?"
Xiao Feng stroked the back of her head and said, "He's doing quite well. He serves as an advisor to Li Yue. When the two tribes were losing ground, he proposed a plan. He had Li Yue's men pretend to be Helan people and contact the Basha tribe, then slaughtered 5,000 Basha people. He's now a favorite in Li Yue's mansion, so you don't have to worry about him."
"Li Wei held a celebration banquet yesterday, and he was even rewarded."
Like him, Wan Zhijing started out as a barber when he joined the army. The reason why Wan Zhijing was able to stand out after saving his life was entirely due to his brains.
Wan Jinlan said, "Brother Zhijing was very smart when he was young. It was thanks to his good fortune that he survived the battlefield."
Wan Jinlan was looking forward to seeing his brother sooner.
Xiao Feng's tone was somewhat resentful. "You seem to care about your brother. I was right in front of you, but you never even asked me how I got through these days."
Wan Jinlan snorted, "You have someone who will arrange for you a warm and beautiful woman, what do I have to ask?"
Xiao Feng stared at her with a gloomy expression, which made Wan Jinlan feel quite uncomfortable. She pressed the chest of her hand and asked, "How have you been these days?"
A faint smile of success flashed across Xiao Feng's eyes. He hugged her tightly and rested his head on hers. "I think about you every day."
Wan Jinlan felt like he had a fever. Ah, this guy's smooth-talking skills had really improved.
Xiao Feng fell asleep holding her in his arms, and his breathing gradually became steady.
After more than an hour, it was still dark. Wan Jinlan was afraid of delaying his work, so he simply woke the person up.
After washing up, Xiao Feng regained his usual energetic appearance. He woke up Song Rui who was still sleeping soundly and asked him to go find his sister Fan Jing.
Xia Feng's mother, Song, had already stood up. When she saw Xiao Feng, her expression brightened. After looking around, a look of loss flashed across her eyes.
Xiao Feng said, "Xia Feng can't leave right now, so he asked me to bring you a letter."
Xiao Feng gave her Xia Feng's letter from home, and a smile appeared on Song's face again.
Wei Xian knew that Xiao Feng had returned, so he naturally came to pay him a visit and report on what had happened in the past few days.
Wan Jinlan packed up his simple bag. On the other side, brother and sister Song Rui and Fan Jing were whispering to each other.
What surprised Wan Jinlan was that Fan Jing did not choose to reunite with her brother and go to Hua County, but chose to stay.
Wan Jinlan touched her head and asked why.
Fan Jing said seriously, "I want to learn skills with Brother Si Nian, so that I can protect myself in the future and repay the kindness of the Lord and the Madam."
After an incense stick of time, Wei Xian and Xiao Feng came out of the study.
Wan Jinlan couldn't wait to go to Hua County to see his brother, so he set off after having dinner.
It was still dark at this time. Three horses were galloping side by side on the loess road. Song Rui sat in front of Xiao Feng and looked around.
By the time we arrived in Hua County, it was already bright and the sun had risen.
After entering the city, Xiao Feng took Song Rui back to his house. Wan Jinlan wrote down the address of his house and then secretly went to County Magistrate Lu's house with An Xi.
Chiwu County was the seat of government of Liangzhou, and the governor's office of the Li family was located in Hua County.
The county magistrate of Hua County is actually not that prominent in Hua County.
There are many guards in a county magistrate's house, but there are no secret guards.
It was very easy for the two of them to sneak in.
Lu Yan's mansion is a large house with three courtyards, and it looks quite grand.
The two found Lu Yuan sighing in a remote courtyard.
Old Man Lu was wearing a dark brocade robe and looked respectable and wealthy, but his whole aura was very depressed.
Wan Jinlan picked up a small stone and threw it at Lu Yuan, who was sitting under a tree in a daze. It took him a while to react and looked around. He was stunned when he saw Wan Jinlan.
A servant was working in the yard not far away, and a maid was cleaning in the house. Lu Yuan stood up and said loudly, "I'm going to rest now. All of you leave."
"Master, it's only noon now..."
Before the servant could finish his words, Lu Yuan interrupted him, "Are you the master or am I the master?"
The servant muttered in his heart, "Even though you are the master, you are still completely subdued by the mistress and have to live in this remote little courtyard with a grievance."
Wan Jinlan appeared only after all the maids and servants had left.
An Xi was guarding in secret.
Wan Jinlan followed Old Man Lu into the house and called out "Uncle".
Lu Yuan nodded uninterested.
"What happened, uncle?"
Lu Yuan was really depressed, and there was no one he could vent to, so he told everyone what had happened in the past few days clearly.
After Lu Yuan came to his son Lu Yan, he told Lu Yan about the death of his ex-daughter-in-law and grandson. Lu Yan was so angry that he immediately quarreled with his step-wife Wang.
As a result, the couple reconciled after a few days, but their son Lu Yan began to blame his father for not fulfilling his responsibilities, which led to the death of his former daughter-in-law and grandson.
Wan Jinlan's feelings towards Lu Yan hit rock bottom.
Not to mention why he divorced his wife and remarried, it is really wrong for him to turn around and blame his own father to shirk responsibility.
After all, this was the Lu family's own family affair, so Wan Jinlan just listened and didn't say much. His uncle's nagging showed his old age, which reminded Wan Jinlan of his grandfather.
Lu Yuan said that Wang was a powerful woman who had his son under her thumb. He also scolded Lu Yan for being incompetent, saying that at his age he was still being controlled by a woman and had no opinion of his own.
Seeing that he was talking with a dry mouth, Wan Jinlan poured him a cup of cold tea.
Lu Yuan had said enough, and he felt relieved. "Why are you here?"
Wan Jinlan said, "The workshop is ready, just waiting for you. I don't think you're happy here, why not move to another place?"
Old Man Lu was surprised, "You're pretty quick."
Wan Jinlan smiled.
Lu Yuan sighed, "Well, a grown-up son is no longer under his father's control, and I am a nuisance to him. I will tell my son today that I want to move out, and I believe Wang Shi will not stop me."
After the two of them agreed, Wan Jinlan left.
Half an hour later, Wan Jinlan met Brother Zhijing in a private room at the Jixiang Restaurant in the city.
Xiao Feng had something else to do in the camp, so he left in a hurry after bringing the brother and sister together.
Compared to his previous weird look, Brother Zhijing now looks much more mature, and he even has a beard on his chin, which makes him look a little funny.
"Sister, what's wrong with your face?" Wan Zhijing looked heartbroken. His sister was disfigured after following Xiao Feng!
Wan Jinlan laughed out loud when he saw his expression, "I drew this to hide it from others."
Wan Zhijing breathed a sigh of relief.
