He stepped forward, forcibly pulled Qin Feng down, and carried him on his back. "Bai Lu, don't forget, you're a woman."
Bai Lu: "I am a woman, but you are not a man."
Would a good man do such a despicable thing?
Ling Qi grinned mischievously: "Don't you know whether I'm a man or not?"
"..."
Ling Ba catches up with Qiu Yan:
"Are we just going to take him back like this? What if the general finds out..."
He felt that Qiu Yan's actions were somewhat inappropriate.
However, Qiu Yan doesn't think so.
"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, he'll be home tonight."
What she was thinking about was how to conquer Northern Qi with minimal casualties.
Qiu Yan glanced at Bai Lu out of the corner of her eye and saw that her expression had changed drastically and her fingertips were trembling slightly.
“You understand the general best,” Ling Ba said silently, walking side by side with Ling Qi.
Behind him, Bai Lu followed silently, her eyes fixed on Qin Feng's weak back, her mind heavy with worry.
Fortunately, he still has some use.
Because of Qin Feng's addition, Qiu Yan and the others naturally attracted a lot of attention along the way.
"Xiaoyan, who is your cousin carrying on his back?"
"This person looks quite disheveled."
"..."
Qiu Yan: "A friend of mine was injured while hunting."
"It looks quite serious. Take him home quickly and get him proper treatment."
"..."
Pedestrians were constantly coming and going on the road. Qiu Yan gave a simple reply, only thinking about getting home as soon as possible.
On the way, the talkative Qin Susu started chattering again.
"Xiaoyan, do you think all the money you have now is from General Gu?"
She compared the two houses and nodded affirmatively.
"That must be it. Who is General Gu? He is the commander-in-chief of the army, a very imposing figure."
"Sigh, the general is really good to you. Your new house, as well as your courtyards and shops in Baiyang and Huaiyuan, must have been gifts from General Gu."
"Xiaoyan, how come you are so lucky?"
"To be favored by General Gu, it must be that your Qiu family's ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke."
Qiu Yan's expression darkened slightly, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba followed suit, their brows furrowing.
Bai Lu coldly glanced at Qin Susu and said, "Don't jump to conclusions without knowing the truth."
Looking back, Qin Susu didn't think she had made a slip of the tongue, and continued to say to Qiu Yan:
"Xiaoyan, so many rich girls are in love with General Gu, but he didn't take a liking to any of them. Why did he choose to fall for a peasant girl like you? Tell me, what is it about you that makes you so charming?"
She continued talking to herself, and after she finished, she laughed a few times, completely unaware that the surrounding air had become icy cold.
Ling Qiteng reached out and tugged at Qin Susu's sleeve.
"Don't say another word, or the general will skin you alive if he hears you."
"Don't try to fool me. General, you are a magnanimous man. How could you hold a grudge against a weak woman like me over such a trivial matter?" Qin Susu said dismissively.
"Xiaoyan, tell me, why didn't the general like me back then? I liked him very much, and I've wanted to marry him since I was little."
Qiu Yan clenched her fist. "Qin Susu, that's enough!"
However, Qin Susu remained oblivious and continued her gossip.
"Sigh, even the mistress is being promoted to the official wife, why can't I have such good fortune..."
She was about to continue babbling on, but when she saw Qiu Yan's face suddenly change color, she stopped abruptly.
When Gu Xiaoran saw her mother's expression change, she grabbed her wrist and glared at Qin Susu with displeasure.
"Qin Susu, you gossipy old woman, you're even more annoying than all the other long-tongued women in the village! No wonder nobody wants you!"
