Qiu Yan helped her up, then turned around.
She didn't want to answer that question.
"Girl, please tell me, is my second brother still alive?" Song Jiao knelt down again and kowtowed, but was supported by Qiu Ling'er who rushed over from behind.
Qiu Yan turned around and shook her head, saying, "I don't know."
She felt that even if Qin Feng didn't die right now, he wouldn't live much longer.
After all, he had shot himself, and it was very likely that he was already dead.
Song Jiao's body went limp, but this time, Tang Yi managed to support her.
At this moment, Tang Yi's expression was not good; he had not yet understood the whole story.
Song Jiao asked, "Where is my brother now?"
“It’s possible he’s still in Northern Qi, or it’s possible he’s returned to your Western Qin.” After Qiu Yan finished speaking, she noticed the child that Ling Qi was holding in his arms.
"Song Jiao, let's go back."
Qiu Yan didn't want to think about what happened before, let alone mention it.
“Miss Qiu…” Ling Yun’s questioning gaze fell on Tang Yi.
"Should we hand him over to the general?"
Qiu Yan: "It's your decision."
Tang Yi's hand tightened slightly. "Let's not... Qiu Yan, I have always been an honest and upright official."
"Lord Tang." Qiu Yan approached Tang Yi, causing him to involuntarily step back.
Why haven't we received the military rations that General Gu asked you to deliver?
Tang Yi exclaimed in surprise: "How is that possible? I have made two trips in the past year."
Ling Yun echoed Qiu Yan's words: "The general indeed did not receive it."
At first, they thought it was because the people were suffering and the army could not collect enough food.
In fact, it is very difficult to raise funds.
Tang Yi...
He fell silent.
This time, without Ling Yun and Ling Zhi having to take action, he voluntarily cooperated and followed the two to see Gu Qian.
"Jiaojiao, wait for me in the carriage."
Qiu Ling'er did not go home immediately, but stayed by Song Jiao's side.
Ling Yun and Ling Zhi took Tang Yi with them to find Gu Qian.
On the way, Ling Qi and Ling Ba followed behind Qiu Yan, continuing to walk the child.
However, the child suddenly started crying loudly.
Qiu Yan took a closer look at the child in Ling Qi's arms.
It's undoubtedly Feng Qi's child.
Ling Chuyi's little face was red from the cold. He looked at Qiu Yan with teary eyes and kept waving his little hands.
Ling Qi had no choice, so Ling Ba took the child in his arms once more.
This time, his rattle-drum didn't work either.
Qiu Yan sighed, took the child's small hand in her own, and took the child from Ling Ba's arms.
In this cold weather, the child is suffering with Ling Qi.
She gently rocked the child.
When did you bring it home?
“Yesterday,” Ling Qi said truthfully, “Last night, the child cried all night, and when he woke up this morning, his voice was hoarse from crying.”
Last night, Ling Qi and the other three originally shared a large communal bed in the Li family's side room.
However, around midnight, Ling Yun and Ling Zhi both went to another room.
Ling Qi and Ling Ba spent the whole night trying to soothe the baby.
Ling Qi felt somewhat embarrassed when she thought of Aunt Ye's swollen and red eyes that morning.
"The child will get hungry at night too," Qiu Yan reminded her.
"The baby has just been brought home and will naturally need a period of getting used to it. It will get better gradually. Go back and feed the baby some milk first."
Whether it was from hunger or from exhaustion, the child gradually fell asleep in Qiu Yan's arms.
Although Gu Qian sat quietly in the courtyard of the Li family, he was fully aware of everything that was happening outside.
When he heard the sound of the carriage, he guessed that Yan Yan had returned.
At this moment, he felt his two junior brothers from his master's family running around him, chasing and playing.
