The first thing he said when we met was,
"father in law."
"Your Majesty, I am but a humble farmer, and I dare not presume to claim kinship with the royal family."
Li Zheng's face was serious. His daughter had long been divorced by He Lin, so he could not possibly acknowledge He Lin as his son-in-law.
Even though he holds the rank of 95.
He Lin, concealing his embarrassment, asked Li Zheng,
Where is Gu Qian?
"Perhaps, he's doing business with Xiaoyan."
"Doing business?" He Lin asked in confusion. "Is he in good health? Wasn't he blind? Why is he still running around everywhere?"
Li Zheng remained silent, leaving it to He Lin to ask Qian'er about this matter.
"Where is Jin'er?" He Lin asked again.
He had already learned from Xuanming Xuanying's secret letter that Jin'er had been brought back by Qiu Yan.
He also learned about all of Jin'er's schedules from the previous period.
His bodyguards were loyal only to him, never daring to hide anything from him, and would never deceive him.
That's right, this journey to the Western Regions happened too suddenly; he hadn't received any news yet.
"He left together with Qian'er and Xiao Yan."
Where did they go?
"I don't know." Li Zheng didn't want to answer the question.
He was afraid that He Lin would cause trouble for Xiao Ran, just like last time.
After all, if He Lin hadn't come that winter two years ago, Xiao Ran wouldn't have had this accident, and I wouldn't have been so worried and unable to eat all year.
He didn't want to experience that feeling again.
Li Zheng said nothing more and left without looking back.
He could never forgive He Lin for the harm he had caused his daughter.
All he could do was suppress his anger.
In the days that followed, He Lin searched the entire Lingnan Village and Baiyang City, but still could not find Qiu Yan and the other person.
Finally, he stayed at the courtyard he had purchased from Qiu Yan.
That villa, named after Li Wenshu, was decorated very warmly by him.
In the courtyard, there was a plum tree that Li Wenshu loved most.
The room was also decorated according to Li Wenshu's preferences.
He thought to himself that this was their home together.
...Although the journey to the Western Regions was long, Qiu Yan and her family of three had a smooth trip.
The journey was long, and Qiu Yan paused when she passed through Qin County in western Qin.
The purpose, of course, was to boost the restaurant business in Qin County.
Gu Qian and his son looked at the enormous Shuangxi Building, and stared at each other in bewilderment.
Then, they both looked at Qiu Yan as she entered the restaurant.
On the surface, it's unbelievable.
"Father, when did Mother open a restaurant in this strange place?"
Gu Xiaoran is really too strange.
Gu Qian also looked bewildered: "Father doesn't know either." Yan Yan hadn't mentioned this to him.
It must have been something she brought along when she went to the Western Regions last time.
Incidentally? Gu Qian was surprised by his own thought.
His wife always manages to do things that are beyond the ordinary.
Business at Shuangxi Restaurant wasn't as good as Qiu Yan had expected.
The reason was that, due to the war, the people were struggling to even have enough to eat, let alone have plenty of meat and fish.
Qiu Yan wasn't bothered by the business here.
She simply instructed the two head chefs, Wei Zhong and Song Fu, to prepare more home-style dishes.
Instruct Manager Wang to lower the vegetable prices.
At Shuangxi Tower, she ran into Prefect Xie.
When Prefect Xie saw Qiu Yan, he grabbed her and poured out his heart to her.
“Miss Qiu Yan, you don’t know, the Northern Qi has been destroyed, destroyed, but the army from Dongjin didn’t come. They really didn’t come.”
"General Gu Qian of Dongjin is truly a benevolent and righteous general, and His Majesty of Dongjin is truly a benevolent and righteous ruler."
