Chapter 78: Must Stay Close
"Okay, I understand." Wen Ling nodded while eating.
Gu Chenran repeated again anxiously: "Remember, stay with me closely. You must not leave my range more than three steps away, otherwise I'm afraid that someone watching me in the dark will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in..."
Wen Ling then put down her chopsticks, held Gu Chenran's shoulders with both hands, and said seriously: "I know, don't worry, I'm here, no matter what it is, it can't do anything to you!"
"I know you were murdered at a hunting party, so you have psychological trauma, but this time is different, because I am here with you, understand?"
Gu Chenran nodded obediently, as if finally relieved.
If Wen Ling looked carefully at this time, she could see the corners of his mouth secretly rising.
Wen Ling slapped his head and said, "Since we are going to the hunting competition soon, let's not do the things that have been delayed before then.
Xiaofa, five or six days have passed in the blink of an eye. How are the two siblings Xiaohui and Xiaocong who were brought back home earlier? Is Xiaocong feeling better from his cold? ”
It was Wen Ling who reminded Gu Chenran that he had brought back two people from the slums that day who might be the descendants of the mighty general.
These two siblings have such a low sense of presence that he was so busy deploying many things these past two days that he completely forgot about them.
Xiaofa, who was standing by, immediately replied, "Xiaocong and Xiaohui are living in the empty guest house at the back. Every day, Xiaohui is assigned some tasks to clean the empty yard at the back. She works very hard.
Xiao Cong's cold has improved a lot. It seems that he has been working in the backyard with his sister since yesterday. ”
Wen Ling nodded: "Then bring them here now, tell them what needs to be said, and see their opinions.
If they have no other opinions, let's make an appointment with the old lady at the General's Mansion tomorrow and take them over to have a look. ”
"Yes!" Xiaofa was a little excited when he agreed.
She has been waiting for the day when Xiaocong and Xiaohui can return home.
But she knew that as a servant, she could not take the initiative to ask her master about his plans, as that would be too presumptuous.
Now hearing that Wen Ling was going to send Xiao Cong and Xiao Hui to the General's Mansion, she couldn't wait to run to the backyard.
After a while, the brother and sister Xiaocong and Xiaohui were brought over.
On the way here, Xiaofa had already told them the general situation.
So now the two siblings know clearly what happened.
But even though they knew clearly, they were all confused now and their brains could not react at all to what had happened.
As soon as they came over, they knelt down and saluted to Wen Ling and Gu Chenran, thanking Wen Ling for taking them in.
Wen Ling didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Xiao Fa should have told you all about the incident on his way here,
When I was little, I met the second son of the Marquis's family. You look a lot like him, and I think you have the destiny of being born a military commander.
In other words, you are most likely the descendants of the mighty general, the child of one of his sons.
If you are willing, I will help you make an appointment with the old lady at the mighty general's mansion tomorrow, and take you to her house in the next two days to confirm whether you are the descendants of the mighty general.
Are you willing? Or do you have any other opinions or ideas? ”
Xiao Hui was the first to react. She could hardly control her voice and suddenly raised it: "You mean, the father my mother has been asking us to find is very likely to be General Weiwu?!"
"no!"
Wen Ling couldn't help but have three black lines on his forehead, and even Xiaofa next to him staggered when he heard it.
Well, it’s their fault for not explaining it clearly.
Wen Ling patiently explained in detail: "If General Weiwu is still alive, he would be in his sixties. How could he be your father?
You are most likely his grandson, a child of one of his three sons who is living away from home.
The old lady in the mighty general's mansion that I am going to take you to see is most likely your grandmother.
Can you understand what I mean? ”
The two children, Xiaohui and Xiaocong, nodded rapidly.
Xiaohui was also a little embarrassed. She didn't know the connections in General Weiwu's mansion and thought that General Weiwu was their father.
"So, are you willing to go? I can't guarantee that you are his descendant. These are all my speculations. I can only say that you are very likely to be his descendant. Even if you are not, you should be mentally prepared."
Wen Ling asked again very seriously.
This time Xiao Hui nodded vigorously: "We know, we are willing to give it a try!
No matter what, finding a daddy was my mother’s last wish, and I don’t want to disappoint her! ”
She really wanted to find her biological father and ask him why he had abandoned her mother and her siblings for so many years!
Xiao Cong also nodded vigorously.
This child has a big head and a small body, probably because of years of malnutrition.
Even after recovering from the cold and resting for a few days, he still looked skinny.
Wen Ling was afraid that he would nod his head so much.
Wen Ling said: "Okay, I understand. I'll just do my best to be a good person and send you to the general's mansion to recognize your relatives.
But I have made it clear in advance that I will be responsible for sending you there. If the recognition is unsuccessful, I will bring you back and you can continue to work in the palace.
If you succeed, no matter what happens to you over there, whether you seek justice for your mother or something like that, it will be none of my business. I won't interfere in your private affairs. ”
Xiaohui and Xiaocong knelt down in front of Wen Ling again: "Thank you, Princess. You have done this, which is a great favor to us!"
Wen Ling helped the two children up and said, "I am not helping you without any purpose. I have something I want in General Weiwu's mansion.
We just got what we needed, no need to thank me. ”
Xiaohui and Xiaocong knelt on the ground and still refused to get up.
Xiao Cong, who seldom spoke, suddenly said, "You are the princess's. You can get what you want in various ways.
But you chose to help me and my sister, and you said it so clearly, without asking for anything in return. This shows that you are a good person, and even more so, a benefactor to us.
You deserve any thanks from us siblings, even if we have to work like a slave for you! ”
Gu Chenran, who was standing next to him, raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and looked up to Xiao Cong.
This little boy looks quiet, but it turns out he is such a smart guy and knows everything in his mind.
Wen Ling was also a little surprised.
Only then did she take a serious look at the little boy. She hadn't looked at him carefully before, but now she discovered that the boy's eyes were particularly bright, and she could tell at first glance that he had a very smart face.
If I hadn't been born in a slum, life would have been so hard and I would have had no choice.
Otherwise, if this child is placed in any normal family, he will be in trouble in the future.
Wen Ling helped the siblings up forcefully, and couldn't help but touch the two children's heads: "I really don't need you to thank me. Helping you is just a matter of convenience. Just consider it a good relationship between us."
After sending Xiaocong and Xiaohui away, Gu Chenran walked over to Wen Ling and said, "It seems like you have a good eye. You only help good people who are grateful for what they have done for you."
It's not easy to be a good person. There are many ungrateful people in this world, but Wen Ling seems to have met only good people who are willing to repay kindness.
Wen Ling turned her head away proudly: "That's right, before I help someone, I always look at their face. If they are not good people, I won't help them!"
Gu Chenran joked: "Before you helped me, you made sure that I was a good person?"
Wen Ling shook his head honestly: "Not sure, you were an accident."
With just these words, Gu Chenran looked into her clear and clean eyes, and his heart seemed to suddenly skip a beat.
