Chapter 79 Going to the General's Mansion
Why am I an exception?
The sentence circled in Gu Chenran's throat but in the end he didn't ask it out loud.
Wen Ling patted his shoulder: "I hope you won't let me down."
Gu Chenran has the purple aura of a real dragon on him, and he and she are husband and wife, so their relationship is too close. In her eyes, his face, past, and future are all veiled.
She couldn't see clearly at all and could only go by feeling.
In other words, Wen Ling can see clearly everyone in this world, except him.
So, Gu Chenran was an accident.
She had told this to Gu Chenran before, so she thought Gu Chenran understood what she meant.
She had never expected that Gu Chenran had already imagined a big drama in his mind.
In the eyes of Wen Ling, who is so powerful that she is almost omnipotent, she can see through everyone except him, and she asks him not to let her down.
Gu Chenran looked at Wen Ling very seriously, his affectionate and upturned phoenix eyes sparkling under the light.
He replied solemnly: "Don't worry, I will never let you down!"
Wen Ling was stabbed by the burning light in his eyes.
She looked away feeling guilty. No, she was just trying to coax him, but he seemed to take it seriously.
This dog man has a pair of eyes that are so affectionate when he looks at dogs!
After finishing the meal, the two returned to their respective yards.
The next morning, Wen Ling delivered a letter to General Weiwu's home in the name of the Wanshiwu.
In the post, Wen Ling said that an old friend of hers was good friends with the second son of the mighty general's mansion, and that she met a pair of twin siblings in the slums who looked 80% similar to the second son.
He suspected that they were descendants of General Weiwu who wanted to visit his house and bring the two children over to see.
How should I put it? This post is pretty presumptuous.
If you meet a pair of children who look similar outside, you will suspect that they are the other person’s blood.
Isn't this just making fun of others?
But along with the note, there was also a wooden hairpin that Xiaohui's mother left for Xiaohui.
There are words carved on the wooden hairpin by Xiaohui's father.
I sent a message in the morning and received a reply at noon.
It was a reply written by the wife of the mighty general herself, meaning that she was willing to let Princess Chen bring the two children over tomorrow, and the old lady would personally receive them and meet them. Regardless of whether they were her bloodline or not, the old lady would be very grateful.
Xiaohui and Xiaocong were extremely happy and excited. Wen Ling was also very happy, but she didn't feel that surprised.
The next morning, Wen Ling took the two siblings to the Mighty General's Mansion.
Gu Chenran also wanted to go with them, but there was only an old lady left in the Weiwu General’s Mansion and no other male descendants, so it was inconvenient for him to go with them.
Before Wen Ling left, she said to Gu Chenran, who had been escorted to the palace gate, "Just wait for me at home. I'll be back soon. Don't worry, I calculated before I left. This trip will be auspicious and there will be no danger!"
Gu Chenran, who had already sent the person to the carriage, could only nod: "Okay, then you should be careful and put yourself first in everything. I will wait for you to come back for dinner at home."
"Okay, let's go. You can go back now." Wen Ling waved at him and turned to get into the carriage.
Gu Chenran was standing at the gate of the palace. He watched Wen Ling's car leave and disappear around the corner at the end of the street before he looked away.
Xiao Hui in the carriage said with envy, "Madam, the prince is really attentive to you. Just now, even after our carriage left, he was still standing there looking at you."
"Really? I didn't notice that."
Wen Ling lifted the curtain and looked back, but the carriage had gone far away and he could not see anything.
In other words, Gu Chenran didn’t know. If he knew, he would definitely say that she was flirting with a dog!
The Mighty General’s Mansion is not far away, just two streets away.
Like the Prince Chen's Palace, both are located in the most prestigious golden CBD area in the capital, and are also palaces bestowed by the emperor.
When the mighty general was guarding the border, he received victory reports one after another. In order to reward this powerful and loyal general, the emperor specially gave the former prime minister's mansion, which was magnificent and majestic, to the general and his family.
Unfortunately, General Weiwu and his three sons all died in battle...
The emperor bestowed many rewards on the mighty general's family and promised that this imperially bestowed mansion would never be taken back.
But even so, the once prosperous and mighty General's Mansion, after less than five years, has become desolate and depressed, judging by the plaque on the door.
Except for an old steward at the door, the place was completely deserted, with no one waiting to visit.
It even seemed that the five characters "Mighty General's Mansion" on the plaque seemed to have faded a little.
When Wen Ling and his companions' carriage arrived, the steward of the Mighty General's Mansion was already waiting outside the door.
His temples were gray, but his back was straight and he had a solemn and murderous aura, and it was obvious that he had retreated from the battlefield.
He politely and respectfully saluted Wen Ling, and made a gesture of invitation: "Princess Chen, Madam Huo is already waiting inside. This old servant will lead the way for you."
The mighty general's surname was Huo. He was originally the son of a country butcher and joined the army at the frontier at the age of 25.
When General Huo was talking to Wen Ling, his eyes involuntarily turned to the brother and sister Xiaohui and Xiaocong behind Wen Ling.
When he saw the appearance of the two siblings clearly, his breathing paused, followed by unconcealable excitement.
He couldn't say much, but he couldn't wait to lead the way, and even his steps became much faster.
Madam Huo obviously attached great importance to Wen Ling's arrival, and the place where Wen Ling was received was set up in the main courtyard of the general's mansion.
Generally, this is where the head of the family receives distinguished guests, and it is also where General Huo receives guests.
The old housekeeper said that this place has not been used to receive guests for a long time since General Huo passed away at the border.
After arriving at the main courtyard, the old butler asked Wen Ling and the others to wait for a moment, then trotted in to pass on the message.
Wen Ling has excellent hearing and can hear the sounds inside even from outside.
All I heard was the old housekeeper trotting in and saying to the old lady, "Madam, they're here!"
"Similar! They are so similar! Those two children look almost exactly like the three young masters when they were little! Maybe this time we can't be wrong!"
Mrs. Huo said excitedly: "Please come in quickly!"
After a while, the old butler ran out and respectfully invited Wen Ling and the others in.
Wen Ling led the two siblings in and immediately saw Mrs. Huo, who was already getting a little impatient waiting on the main seat.
Just by taking the first look, Wen Ling was certain that Mrs. Huo was indeed Xiao Cong and Xiao Hui's biological grandmother, and not just a grandmother from a side branch, but a direct biological grandmother.
Old Madam Huo's attention was directly attracted by Xiao Cong and Xiao Hui.
She looked at the two children closely, stood up from the main seat excitedly, and walked towards the two children uncontrollably.
She murmured, "Similar, so similar, even more like Yao'er when he was a child, as if they were carved from the same mold..."
