Chapter 57 Descendants of the Mighty General
Gu Chenran saw Wen Ling staring at the little girl who was crying and begging to sell herself into slavery but was rejected.
I thought she was being ruthless, so I reminded her, "I know these people are very pitiful, and you want to help them, but don't just give them silver.
Otherwise, not only would the little girl not be able to protect the silver, she might also lose her life because of being targeted by others.
There are also these people who are extremely poor, and when they see someone who is kind enough to give money, they will surround this person and ask for money.
Before, there was a young lady who wanted to be known as a kindhearted person. She came here to donate coins, but was surrounded by people who swarmed over her. In the end, she had no more coins left. These people also robbed her of all the valuables on her body and in her carriage.
Not only did the young lady fail to gain a reputation as a kind person, but her reputation was ruined, and she was later forced to marry far away from the capital. ”
Wen Ling had no intention of giving the money directly, but after hearing what Gu Chenran said, she was still surprised.
It is true that she is a word spirit that has lived for thousands of years, but she has always been enshrined in the temple.
Those who come to worship her and make wishes to her definitely come with good intentions, and they all make good wishes.
Even if there is such an outrageous wish as praying that I won't get caught if I steal something.
But such naked contact with human nature is almost unheard of.
Wen Ling was thoughtful.
She had once heard what her master had told her: if she wanted to become a true immortal and ascend to heaven smoothly, she must know what the real world is like.
So, could this be the reason why her cultivation level in her previous life had already been full, but she showed no signs of ascending?
Then, after she turned to ashes, she came back to this world to be a new person. Could there be a deeper purpose behind this?
Wen Ling shook her head: "I don't plan to give them money directly. Don't worry, I have another way to help them.
I would keep staring at her because she clearly had a good destiny and should have been born into a powerful family, and should not have fallen to this point. ”
Gu Chenran didn't care: "Maybe it's because the family has fallen into decline? Many royal relatives of the previous dynasties, the descendants of the collateral branches are worse than the previous generation, and in the end, aren't they worse than ordinary people?"
Wen Ling shook her head: "No, she is not from a poor family. She should be destined to be rich. I see a layer of black air covering her fate palace. She must have been harmed by someone."
Gu Chenran then raised his eyebrows slightly: "Could this be another real and fake daughter who was switched? Could there be so many coincidences?"
To be honest, in a wealthy family, it is very difficult to exchange children. They are all confidants, so it is almost impossible.
There are even fewer people like the eldest princess who trusts her husband wholeheartedly and then is stabbed in the back by him like this.
However, the person who went out with Wen Ling today was Xiao Fa, that is, Yang Lan, who was sentenced to beheaded for forming a clique for personal gain and then his entire family was exiled.
For convenience, whether at home or outside, we all call him Xiaofa.
Because of her poor health before, Wen Ling assigned her some idle work in the palace.
During this period, she drank the scented tea prepared by Wen Ling to nourish her congenitally weak constitution, and now she feels much better and can go out.
It just so happened that Tingyin was sent to the Wanshiwu today, and Xiaofa followed him with him today.
Xiaofa listened to them discussing the little girl and took a closer look.
She suddenly went out and said, "Hey, this little girl looks so familiar to me, as if I have seen her somewhere before."
"I remember now!" Xiao Fa exclaimed, "This little girl looks almost exactly like General Weiwu's second son when he was a child!"
"General Weiwu's second son? Have you seen him when he was a child?" Wen Ling turned around and asked.
Wen Ling did not hide Xiaofa's background from Gu Chenran, so Gu Chenran also knew Xiaofa's origins.
Taking in the daughter of a criminal as a maid might cause trouble, but as long as Wen Ling was willing, he had no objection.
Speaking of this, Xiao Fa seemed to be lost in memory: "I have seen the second son of General Weiwu. I thought that he and I grew up together for a long time when we were young.
The second son of the mighty general was also in poor health when he was young, and the imperial physician suggested that he be raised in a farm in the countryside, where there would be a good environment for him to run and jump around a lot, which would help him to be in better health.
It just so happened that the general's farm was next door to where I lived. We were of the same age, and there were no other friends of the same age in the countryside, so we naturally ended up playing together.
Later, when he recovered, he was taken back to the capital to learn martial arts. He often came to visit me.
Later, when he was thirteen years old, General Weiwu died in battle in the northern border. He said he wanted to help his father carry his coffin back to the capital and help his elder brother guard the border.
As a result, he was gone for three years. Three years later, I only received the news that he and his elder brother's body were sent back to the capital.
General Weiwu's family was full of loyal heroes, but even his youngest son died in battle. From then on, there was no son to support the family, not even a grandchild.
In General Weiwu’s house, only the old lady is left…”
When Xiaofa finished speaking, his voice was choked with sobs.
She was very sad to hear that the second son of General Weiwu had also died on the battlefield, even though they had made such a promise...
But she didn't have time to be sad for long, as something bad happened in her family.
Xiao Fa pulled himself out of his memories, looked at the skinny little girl again, and said with certainty: "This little girl looks exactly like the second young master of the general's family when he was a child!"
"How can there be such a coincidence in this world? But...but doesn't General Weiwu have no descendants?"
Wen Ling touched his chin with one hand and said, "They look almost exactly the same. It's really a bit strange. There shouldn't be such a coincidence in the world."
Gu Chenran suddenly said, "Among the magic weapons we need, is there a black iron red tassel spear called Sunset that is in General Weiwu's house?"
"Yeah, it seems so." Wen Ling also remembered. No wonder she felt that the name of General Mighty sounded familiar. It seemed like she had heard it somewhere.
Wen Ling clapped his hands and said, "Since it's such a coincidence, instead of guessing, why don't we go directly to General Weiwu's house to visit the old Lord Feng. I can tell at a glance whether they are related by blood or not!"
Her function is comparable to a human DNA monitor.
Gu Chenran also thought it was feasible, although it was outrageous. But what if the mighty general had bloodlines scattered outside?
Wen Ling took Xiaofa to the little girl and asked Xiaofa to give her a meat bun.
The little girl looked at the meat bun handed to her, and raised her head to see a rich lady who was prettier than a fairy looking at her.
She was so scared that she took a few steps back, not daring to take the bun. Her eyes were full of vigilance and fear when she looked at Wen Ling.
