Qi Luoting's eyes darkened, and he quickly asked the woman, "Madam, can you see clearly? This is General Yu's daughter, Yu Jinshu?"
He hadn't added the scar on the girl's face in the painting yet.
The old lady smiled awkwardly: "The facial features are indeed similar, but it seems not as beautiful as your painting."
At this time, a woman nearby said, "I heard that General Yu's legitimate daughter, Yu Jinshu, disappeared yesterday. General Yu sent people to search throughout the capital. They later found Yu Jinshu's large white horse by the river. The boatman also said she drowned and was rescued by a young man. She didn't return home all night, and I don't know if that young man is a good or bad person. I'm afraid Yu Jinshu's reputation has been ruined, and her health has been harmed."
Qi Luoting was relieved at first because he thought that the old lady was not sure whether the girl was General Yu's legitimate daughter.
But after hearing what the woman said, his face turned ugly again.
Could it be that she is really Yu Jinshu, the legitimate daughter of General Yu?
General Yu killed Nangong Yueli, the girl he had been longing for for several years.
By the way, last night the girl had a scar on her face, and she kept talking drunkenly with a terrified look on her face, saying not to kill her.
Could it be that Nangong Yueli really disguised herself as a makeup girl to kill Yu Jinshu?
At this time, someone else started talking: "You don't know! Yu Jinshu was supposed to get married to Mr. Qi San last month, but she was disfigured by Nangong Yueli and was almost killed. Fortunately, General Yu arrived in time and killed Nangong Yueli, otherwise Yu Jinshu would have died."
Another insider said, "I heard that Nangong Yueli was deeply in love with Master Qi San. She couldn't stand Master Qi marrying Yu Jinshu, so she disguised herself as a makeup girl and entered the general's mansion to kill Yu Jinshu."
A young man sighed and said, "Alas! Nangong Yueli is a talented woman in the capital, the dream of so many young men! Who would have thought that beneath her beautiful appearance, she has a heart as vicious as a snake."
"Isn't it? I even waited outside her house for several days just to see her! Later, I even asked someone to propose to her."
As soon as the young man said this, he attracted everyone's attention.
Someone asked: "So you proposed to marry her, did it work out?"
The young man said, "What could possibly happen? Her father was arrested very soon."
"Luckily you didn't marry me, otherwise I wouldn't know when I would have cut you off."
"If you really marry a jealous woman like this, you will definitely not be able to take a concubine, otherwise you will really be castrated."
"Don't even think about marrying a concubine. Even going to a brothel is out of the question. You'll get cut off."
Qi Luoting couldn't listen any longer. The white moonlight in his mind turned out to be such a person. It really made him ashamed and annoyed.
The attendant A Zuo said, "My Lord, General Yu's residence is not far ahead. How about visiting him?"
Qi Luoting thought of what happened last night, and also of the knife that hit Yu Jinshu on the face caused by Nangong Yueli, and he felt heartbroken.
Nangong Yueli almost killed Yu Jinshu, and he hated Nangong Yueli when he thought of this.
Of course, he hated himself even more for being blind. How could he have loved Nangong Yueli for so many years? Perhaps he had been blinded by greed!
Qi Luoting walked towards the General's Mansion.
In front of the general's mansion, A Zuo knocked on the door while holding Xiao Bai.
When the doorman heard that it was Marquis Taining who came to ask for a meeting, he hurried to report it.
The rank of a marquis is second only to that of a prince, not to mention the Southern Xinjiang God of War Qi Luoting.
Qi Luoting once led 5,000 soldiers to kill 100,000 foreign enemies without leaving a single piece of armor. He had won every battle on the battlefield for ten years.
When Yu Xiaoan was stationed in the northern border, what he loved to inquire about most was Qi Luoting's war in the southern border.
Now that the country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, Qi Luoting returned to the capital three years ago, and Yu Xiaoan returned last year.
Yu Xiaoan had wanted to meet Qi Luoting several times, but he heard that Qi Luoting had a cold personality and did not like to make friends with others. So far, he had only met him a few times in the court, but had not been able to sit down and talk.
Qi Luoting came to visit in person. Yu Xiaoan didn't know what was going on and hurried out to greet him.
"Your Excellency Marquis Taining, I am sorry for not coming to greet you in person!" Yu Xiaoan bowed.
Facing his future father-in-law, Qi Luoting also bowed and said, "General Yu, please forgive me for visiting you without a visiting card!"
Yu Xiaoan smiled and said, "I have wanted to have a chat with Marquis Taining for a long time. I am really happy that Marquis Taining can come today." He quickly invited Qi Luoting in.
Arriving in the hall, Qi Luoting stated his purpose directly: "I came here today to confirm something."
Before yesterday, he had thought about coming to the General's Mansion many times, all in order to investigate the case of Nangong Yueli. However, he did not expect that when he stepped into the General's Mansion, he came for General Yu's daughter Yu Jinshu.
Yu Xiaoan extended his hand, "Marquis Taining, please speak."
Qi Luoting looked calm: "Yesterday, I was fishing on the bank of the Yongding River and I saw a girl drowning. I rescued her, but because she was soaked, I had no choice but to take her back home. I asked the maids to help her change her clothes and left dinner for her." Let's not talk about what happened next for now.
Yu Xiaoan felt extremely complicated when he heard this.
It turns out that the young man who saved his precious daughter was Taining Hou Qi Luoting.
Men and women should not touch each other, but when saving someone from the water, skin contact is inevitable, so logically they should be married.
However, it was widely rumored in the capital that Qi Luoting was impotent and had many wives and concubines at home.
But if it weren't for Qi Luoting, his daughter would probably have lost her life.
Yu Xiaoan quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "I didn't expect it was Marquis Taining who saved my daughter's life. If it weren't for Marquis Taining's intervention, my daughter would have probably sunk to the bottom of the river. I am truly grateful!"
Qi Luoting also stood up and gave Yu Xiaoan a light hand: "General, there's no need to be polite. Since we've met, how can we just stand by and watch someone die without helping?"
Yu Xiaoan looked at Qi Luoting, feeling both grateful and worried.
He could see that Qi Luoting came here not to ask for fame or money to save his life.
If not, why did Qi Luoting come to visit?
Although Qi Luoting is a handsome man and comes from a noble family, he has physical defects and many wives and concubines. If someone comes to marry his precious daughter, he will definitely not agree.
Qi Luoting really came here to propose to Yu Jinshu.
However, he did not mention the matter. He only said, "I came here today to confirm whether the woman I rescued yesterday was General Yu's daughter, Yu Jinshu. Her white cat disappeared in my house yesterday, but was found this morning, so I came to return it."
Yu Xiaoan thought to himself that if it was just a white cat, Qi Luoting could just send someone to deliver it, but he actually came in person, which seemed to be a proposal of marriage.
He looked at the white cat again. He had never seen it before, but there were several cats in the mansion. He didn't know if it was his daughter's.
"So, Marquis Taining wants to see my daughter?"
Qi Luoting nodded: "Exactly."
Yu Xiaoan said with embarrassment: "It's an unfortunate opportunity. My daughter..."
"Daddy, who wants to see me?"
Yu Jinshu had already arranged for someone to watch at the door. She expected Qi Luoting to come to Kangfu Street to find her. As for whether he could find the general's mansion, she believed that Qi Luoting was not stupid and should be able to find it easily.
Now it seems that it is true, and it was found so quickly.
Yu Xiaoan was very anxious, wondering how his daughter could have suddenly appeared.
