The appearance of Feng Cailan caused the crowd to consciously move away, just like the moon surrounded by stars.
Feng Cailan, holding Ye Ling'er in his arms, was wearing armor, a cloak on his shoulders, and a sword hanging on his waist, looking majestic.
Feng Cailan took steady and powerful steps, walking towards the direction of Junyanfang. Every step she took was like a heavy step on Lianxing's heart, making him breathe hard.
"General!" The two soldiers in charge of guarding the troublemakers immediately saluted Feng Cailan respectfully when they saw her coming.
"Yeah." Feng Cailan responded lightly, but her eyes were always on Lian Xing who deliberately avoided her sight.
With her keen intuition, Feng Cailan sensed the fear on Lian Xing's face when she saw her, like a mouse seeing a cat. A hint of doubt arose in her heart. Why was this guy so strange? Was there some hidden secret?
At this time, Liu Qiang, who was kneeling on the ground, his forehead covered with sweat, said in a trembling voice: "My lord, I know my crime, I know my crime, please spare my life!"
Upon hearing this, Feng Cailan looked suspiciously back and forth between Lian Xing and Liu Qiang. Ye Ling'er, who was in her arms, then told her the whole story again.
"General, this is what happened. Daddy taught Ling'er to be kind to others since she was young. It's not that Ling'er is belligerent. If they hadn't said that Ling'er had a father but no mother, and that Ling'er's father was a vixen and a prostitute, Ling'er wouldn't have fought with the fat girl."
After saying that, Ye Ling'er emphasized again that she did not fight on purpose.
For some reason, Feng Cailan felt an indescribable pain when she heard Ye Ling'er being called a fatherless child. This was truly not something a child under three years old should endure...
Feng Cailan glanced at Liu Qiang leisurely and said calmly, "Liu Qiang, you insulted others in public with vicious words, which had a bad influence. This general will sentence you to a fine of ten taels of silver as a warning to others. In addition, you must apologize to this little girl and her father."
After hearing this, Liu Qiang nodded hurriedly and took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to Lian Xing.
Then, he suppressed his inner anger, forced out an extremely ugly smile, and said reluctantly: "Ye Ling'er, I'm sorry, it was uncle's fault. I shouldn't have scolded your father. Please forgive uncle."
Ye Ling'er turned her head and looked at Lian Xing, her eyes full of questions and expectations. Lian Xing nodded to her.
Seeing this, Ye Ling'er turned her head again, looked at Liu Qiang, and said in a baby voice: "Okay, Ling'er will forgive you this time. But you must remember, if you dare to insult my father again in the future, Ling'er will never let you go!" After that, she waved her little fist as a warning.
When Liu Qiang heard this, he nodded repeatedly and promised not to make the same mistake again.
Lian Xing looked at the scene in front of her and felt mixed emotions.
He felt that as a father, he should give Ye Ling'er more love and care, but he didn't expect that this young daughter already knew how to protect him, even at the cost of confronting others. This feeling touched him and distressed him.
Lian Xing's eyes were slightly moist. He reached out and gently stroked Ye Ling'er's hair, saying in a soft voice, "Ling'er is so good, you are daddy's good daughter..." His tone was full of pride and love.
When Ye Ling'er heard Lian Xing's praise, she happily hugged Feng Cailan's neck, a proud smile on her face. Her eyes sparkled with pride, because she knew she had done well and had received her father's recognition and praise.
After resolving the incident of disturbance in the street, Feng Cailan ordered the soldiers to disperse the crowd of onlookers.
Lian Xing temporarily closed the door to visitors and sat at a table in the reception area of the store with Feng Cailan. Ye Ling'er was temporarily taken out to play by Deputy General Qiao Chu.
"General, please have some tea." After Lian Xing served Feng Cailan a cup of tea, she stood aside, nervously clutching the corner of her clothes.
Feng Cailan glanced at Lian Xing lightly, taking in his evasive look. Neither of them spoke again.
After a moment, Feng Cailan said leisurely, "Sit down."
Lian Xing bit her thin lips lightly, a hint of hesitation flashed across her charming eyes, but after thinking for a moment, she obediently sat down opposite Feng Cailan.
Feng Cailan closed her eyes slightly, then opened them again. She clenched her fists, then looked directly at Lian Xing and asked bluntly, "Who is Ye Ling'er's mother?"
Hearing Feng Cailan's question, Lian Xing's eyes dodged, "She was originally in the Youzhou military camp, then transferred to Yuheng County, and now she's back to Youzhou..."
"Ye Lianxing, do you think this general is a fool?"
Suddenly, Feng Cailan stepped forward, pinched Lian Xing's chin and made him look at himself. Under his heroic brows, Feng Cailan's deep eyes looked straight at Lian Xing, like a sharp sword that could pierce through all the lies of this man.
"Ye Ling'er and Qi Yan's childhood... no, perhaps to be more precise, her appearance is exactly the same as this general's. Do you still have the right to deny it?"
Feng Cailan's eyes turned slightly cold, and the hand that was pinching Lian Xing's chin couldn't help but use a little more force.
Lian Xing felt a pain and frowned slightly. He knew he couldn't escape it, but he still wanted to fight for it.
"Great General!" Lian Xing's eyes filled with tears. He looked at Feng Cailan earnestly and said, "Isn't it just right now? Why...why do you have to dig so deep into my heart?"
Feng Cailan's heroic brows knitted slightly. She released the hand that was pinching Lian Xing's chin and said coldly, "This general just wants to know, is Ling'er... this general's daughter?"
