Xuanming and Xuanying immediately protected He Lin, knowing that their young master valued his dog highly, and therefore dared not harm the lightning.
Lightning bared its fangs, showing no sign of backing down.
He Lin trembled, "Drive it away!"
With a whoosh, Zhan Yue swung his longsword, aiming at the lightning.
Gu Xiaoran was on edge.
He struggled to break free from Li Zheng's embrace and used his small body to block Zhan Yue's blade.
"Don't hurt the lightning!"
He Lin: "Zhan Yue, stop!"
Before Zhan Yue could stop, she was struck hard by Li Zheng's palm.
In an instant, his entire body veered sideways and crashed into the courtyard wall with a thud.
He was nearly broken apart by the impact.
It hurts so much.
He lay on the ground, unable to get up for a long time.
Xuanming Xuanying clicked his tongue in amazement.
As expected of General Li, when he strikes, it's either death or crippling.
Now, Zhan Yue is in for a rough time.
Even more pitifully, Lightning opened its mouth and bit Zhan Yue's trouser leg.
They dragged him out of the courtyard little by little.
Thanks to Gu Xiaoran's training, Lightning will not bite.
My mother once said that being bitten by a dog could be fatal.
Ye rubbed her aching heart; what had just happened was terrifying.
Zhu Juan, who was inside the room, was also startled, but with Li Zheng there, none of them dared to make a sound.
Only after the man and dog left the courtyard did He Lin's pale face begin to calm down.
"Jin'er, I want to talk to you, is that alright?"
"No!" Gu Xiaoran instinctively resisted.
Although Ye had many prejudices against Gu Xiaoran, they had spent a lot of time together and naturally developed feelings for each other.
She said to He Lin:
"Don't force your child to be close to you; these things take time to work out."
He Lin: "Jin'er, I promise you, I will definitely help you find your mother."
Although he didn't know why Jin'er was living with Li Zheng, he guessed that Gu Qian had entrusted the child to Li Zheng.
After all, Gu Qian had to protect the country for him, so where would he find the time to take care of the children?
No, didn't Gu Qian entrust the child to Miss Qiu?
Suddenly, he thought of Qiu Yan.
Where is she? Wasn't she always with Jin'er?
He Lin came here not only to find Shu'er, but also to take Jin'er and Qiu Yan to Shangjin.
She resembled her a lot, and he still thought of taking her into his harem.
He already knew that Qiu Yan was knowledgeable about gunpowder.
He absolutely could not allow Qiu Yan to fall into the hands of another country.
“My mother is gone, and she doesn’t want me anymore.” Gu Xiaoran shook her head, took Shandian back to the courtyard, and was pulled into the room by Zhu Juan.
Zhu Juan had been looking around inside for a long time, and her legs were trembling.
The young master is currently experiencing some emotional instability.
"Young mistress, please don't cry." Seeing Gu Xiaoran crying, Zhu Juan also wanted to cry.
Gu Xiaoran pulled Zhu Juan's wrist and used her sleeve to wipe the tear stains from the corners of her eyes.
Gu Xiaoran felt even more aggrieved as Zhu Juan held him in her arms. At that moment, Zhu Juan's embrace felt as warm as a mother's.
"Aunt Zhu..."
He wanted to leave this place; he wanted to find his parents.
Gu Xiaoran started crying loudly, sobbing uncontrollably.
"My wife doesn't like me."
"Who said that? Your master and mistress love you very much." Zhu Juan took out a handkerchief and wiped away Gu Xiaoran's tears. "Your master and mistress love Xiaoran the most."
As Gu Xiaoran sobbed, he squinted at the courtyard and saw that his master was also looking at him.
"No, the housewife dotes on her two younger uncles."
Looking at his master's somewhat unsteady figure, he felt inexplicably sad.
At this moment, in front of He Lin, Madam Ye asked in a low voice:
"Brother Li, did you already know Xiao Ran's identity?"
