Chapter 169: Weird
"Beibei! Come into uncle's arms!"
Qin Guang and his group arrived at the residence before them and were looking around. When Qin Guang found that Qin Xiangnuan was empty-handed and both she and her belongings were in Jiang Lin's arms, he walked over quickly.
Qin Xiangning no longer had any fear of Jiang Lin. She really liked this older brother who had a stern face but always went along with her in everything. In comparison, Qin Guang seemed even more unfamiliar.
Jiang Lin felt her backward movement and said indifferently, "It's okay. I heard from Nuannuan that General Qin's arm injury hasn't healed yet, so it's still not suitable for him to hold a child."
Qin Guang felt a little complicated. Qin Xiangnuan would talk about such little things with Jiang Lin. It seemed that Jiang Lin was not the only one who was interested in her. He actually didn't see through his daughter's thoughts. The identities of the two were a big problem.
Although Qin Xiangnuan is not his biological daughter, she is connected to the Qin family after all. They prosper together and suffer together. Qin Guang can only be glad that they have not expressed their feelings to each other yet, giving him enough time to think of a countermeasure.
When Qin Xiangnuan heard about the injury, she looked at Jiang Lin in surprise. She had never mentioned it to him. How could this guy... lie with his eyes open!
"Ahem!" Jiang Lin felt guilty when he saw the gaze. He wanted to show his closeness to Qin Xiangnuan, so he spoke without restraint.
Qin Xiangnuan gave him face, curled her lips and turned her head, "Dad, it just so happens that Beibei likes him, he's not injured, it won't hurt to hold him for a while longer."
Jiang Lin turned around silently and noticed something was wrong when he took a closer look at the interior decoration of the house.
At that time, when they were shopping, they received news that the nearby inns could not accommodate so many people. They were worried that it would be unsafe for them to live separately, so they rented a house at the suggestion of the locals.
They just thought it was a coincidence that someone had seen through their wealth and wanted to blackmail them, but at this point, Jiang Lin didn't think so.
"This place doesn't look like it has been vacant for a long time. We only rent it for two or three days at most. Why would anyone rent it?" Jiang Lin asked Qin Guang.
Qin Guang shook his head. "I just arrived here too and have the same question as you."
Qin Xiangnuan understood after a brief thought, but she still had other questions. "Our route doesn't follow the official road. Is the Seventh Prince so powerful that he has people everywhere we go?"
Qin Guang had not previously known much about political affairs, and was only concerned with his own military operations. He had never considered those spheres of influence. Jiang Lin had investigated, but he did not believe that Gu Mingqi's mind would be so meticulous.
"It seems that there is something strange going on in Heshui Town."
There was a peaceful scene everywhere on the street, but they had to work hard to unite and place them in such a mansion. Qin Xiangnuan always had the patience to wait for all the demons and monsters to appear.
"Beibei, be good. Go play with your mother. We have something to discuss." Jiang Lin handed the candied haws to Anliu, helped Qin Xiangning stand steadily with both hands, and spoke softly.
Qin Xiangning agreed obediently, raised his head and knocked on the person standing next to him, then took the initiative to walk to Anliu, stretched out his hand to grab a corner of him, blinked his big eyes and said: "Big brother, take me to find my mother, okay?"
"Yeah! Okay." Anliu felt flattered and led his people away in a daze.
Qin Guang was quite surprised by Jiang Lin's gentleness, and his image changed again.
"General, please!" Jiang Lin pointed to the courtyard not far away.
This place is not very big, with two courtyards, and the decorations everywhere are unusual, and it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it.
The three of them agreed that Jiang Lin and his men would be responsible for guarding at night, Qin Guang would bring a group of people who knew martial arts to guard everyone, and Qin Xiangnuan would be responsible for checking everything that was handled and brought in.
In order not to cause concern among the female relatives, they chose not to tell them. However, after experiencing this many times, everyone knew that it was not safe, even if they didn't say it out loud.
When Qin Xiangnuan found an excuse to have everyone sleep together, Liu held her hand and said, "Nuannuan, just tell me what happened and don't let me worry."
This was her secret treatment of the aftermath of the plague, and Liu was already on guard.
Madam Qin also advised, "I know you can protect us, but we are not rats either. If you don't tell us, we will guess more seriously and feel more uneasy than you think."
Seeing that Zou was about to join in the persuasion, Qin Feng came forward. Ever since he met Qin Guang, Qin Feng would pester him every day to ask him to teach him things. In addition, with the martial arts secrets given by Qin Xiangnuan, Qin Feng was confident that he was already a master.
"Grandma, Auntie, Mother, I'm not telling you that this is a very small matter. I'm no ordinary person now, and dealing with bad guys is easy. But for you, who are powerless, even the smallest matter is a big deal, so I'd better not tell you."
His son was at a loss as to what to say, but he was too arrogant, so Qin Yi couldn't help but kick him.
"Dad! What are you doing?" Qin Feng covered his butt, feeling his dignity was hurt, and shouted for reason.
"You've only been with your uncle for a few days and haven't learned anything, yet you're already so arrogant. Just stay put, and you'll be held responsible if anything goes wrong!" Qin Yi said, while Qin Feng shrank his neck and said nothing.
After hearing this commotion, Madam Qin and Mrs. Liu stopped asking questions and just followed the instructions.
It was bustling here and everyone was protected by someone. Qi was very dissatisfied and couldn't even give a good look to Qin Wen, who was also powerless.
Qi said sarcastically, "We claim to be a family, but when disaster strikes, we all flee on our own. It's a pity that our son Song is young and doesn't know how to fight. He deserves to be a sitting duck."
The Qin family seemed to have learned to ignore her voice automatically. Qin Xiangsong was not as close to her now. After everyone gathered together, he took the initiative to go to the side of Old Madam Qin. At this moment, he could not make out the meaning of Qi's words, but he also found them harsh.
Madam Qin was very pleased to see his reaction, so she glanced at her coldly, "If you can't speak, then shut up. No one asked you to speak!"
Now that all the reputations have been torn, no one needs to pretend anymore. Qin Wen no longer has any expectations of her and is just waiting to get to the place where they can peacefully choose to separate.
"Your whole family only knows how to bully me!" Qi felt humiliated and stood up, but after taking a step, she simply changed direction and sat down with her back to him.
She still knows how to cherish her life. Qin Xiangnuan snorted and laughed. As long as she didn't cause any big trouble, she would let her go.
Under the cover of night, standing on a high place, one can see the lights reflected from every household. When Qin Xiangnuan landed beside Jiang Lin, her profile in the dark showed no expression, but she just had a feeling that the person in front of her was very lonely.
It even made her want to actively drive away all the darkness in him.
"Look, this must be the quietest place you have ever seen at night on this journey, right?" Jiang Lin knew who was standing next to him. In this situation, he completely immersed himself in the darkness, feeling its uniqueness.
Qin Xiangnuan then withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and listened attentively.
