Chapter 359: The Angry Warlords of the Republic of China vs. the Educated and Well-mannered Overseas Daughter 15
"Shall I ask the servant to get you another set of bowls and chopsticks?" Quan Jiu asked for his opinion.
Si Jinnian had already eaten dinner, but when he heard her proposal, he did not refuse. Instead, he sat down at the dining table and pretended not to speak.
"What did you do today?"
"Just went out for a stroll."
Quan Jiu's expression was natural, without any hesitation.
Si Jinnian moved his lips, wanting to ask something, but after hesitating for a long time, he chose to keep silent.
Didn't she have anything to ask him?
If a normal person meets a person who has come back to life on the street and finds out that they have been cheated, shouldn't they question him immediately?
"I've found some clues about the Li family's affairs." Si Jinnian changed the subject.
Quan Jiu put down his chopsticks and became interested: "What did you find out?"
Mr. Li is a ruthless man. He is willing to risk his son being cheated on in order to let her marry into the Li family.
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked straight at him, causing Si Jinnian's body to tense up. He tried hard to calm down the discomfort in his body before saying:
"Master Li has always been a believer in feudalism and superstition. My people have found out that he goes to a temple to worship every Saturday. I heard that he is very close to a Feng Shui master."
"So what does this have to do with him insisting that Li Yang marry me?" Quan Jiu stared at him without blinking.
Si Jinnian: "This Feng Shui master has some tricks up his sleeve. Some time ago, the Li and Zhang families were fighting over a piece of land. Master Li was determined to win, but after visiting a temple, he voluntarily gave up the fight... After a while, the Zhang family sent people to develop the land, but they didn't expect to dig up a mass grave..."
A mass grave is a place where thousands of people are buried. It is filled with resentment and is a very dangerous place.
When Quan Jiu heard the word Feng Shui, he couldn't help but mutter a few words:
"That's it, it's not that great..."
001 alert: "What do you mean?"
He inexplicably recalled the fear in the previous planes, dominated by the words "It's not something you can do if you have hands".
Quan Jiu asked seriously, "Fortune telling is something that anyone with hands can do, right?"
001: “…”
How come you, a living dead with unknown origins who has been sleeping in the Mountain of Gods for tens of thousands of years, know everything?
"What are you talking about?"
Si Jinnian didn't hear her whispering to herself and couldn't help but look at her in confusion.
Quan Jiu smiled seriously:
"I said this Feng Shui master is amazing! QWQ!"
Si Jinnian had no doubts and continued:
"A few days before the Li family proposed marriage to the Liu family, I heard that Master Li had been going to the temple. After his last visit, before dawn the next day, Master Li went to the Liu family to propose marriage."
Quan Jiu continued his words: "So it's this Feng Shui master who's causing trouble? Where is the Feng Shui master?"
"He disappeared half a month ago. I sent people to look for him, but there's been no news."
Half a month ago?
Quan Jiu felt an inexplicable discomfort in his heart.
Half a month ago, which was the time period when she traveled through time, this Feng Shui master ran away as soon as she arrived?
"Do you know when the person disappeared?" she asked for no apparent reason.
"Number 12." Si Jinnian said with certainty, "Someone saw him at the gate of Jincheng. He happened to be leaving the city."
Quan Jiu felt even more uncomfortable.
The twelfth was the day she traveled through time.
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and said, "Remember to tell me when you find the person."
"Um."
…
Jincheng has suddenly become very lively these two days.
Commander Fan from the neighboring Fancheng suddenly came to Jincheng with his precious daughter.
As soon as Quan Jiu went out, he could hear people talking on the street.
"Commander Fan's sudden interview clearly indicates ulterior motives. The war situation is critical right now, and he brought his daughter directly to see the Third Master. This clearly shows him wanting the two cities to join forces and strengthen the relationship."
"It's certainly not peaceful lately. The defenders of Jincheng and Fancheng have suffered a lot. If we can form a marriage alliance, it will definitely be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Third Master to ascend to power."
Si Jinnian himself is a commander, and with the addition of a father-in-law who is also a commander, the two are even closer and can take care of each other. They no longer need to fear other Jun/va forces.
"But didn't the Third Master just steal Young Master Li's fiancée? I heard that the Third Master and this Miss Liu are in love, and Miss Liu has already moved into the Commander's Mansion. This is totally Madam Si's style."
"You know shit! Master Liu is just a money-grubbing businessman with nothing but money. But in these troubled times, money is the most useless thing. Commander Fan is different. He has all the troops, weapons, and food that Third Master needs. Moreover, Commander Fan only has this one daughter. Won't all his future power belong to Third Master?"
"So, according to you, the Third Master would kick Miss Liu out for Miss Fan?"
"It doesn't necessarily mean she was kicked out. If Miss Fan is kind-hearted, she might still be kept as a concubine."
As Quan Jiu walked along, she met people who were discussing the marriage between the two cities. Then she found it strange that no one was against the marriage between the two cities.
001: "Only when Si Jinnian becomes powerful will the lives of other common people in Jincheng be more comfortable. They will naturally be happy to see this happen."
In troubled times, ordinary people only seek protection.
Quan Jiu touched his nose and said, "It seems like everyone assumes that Si Jinnian will abandon me."
Although they were just hypothetical relatives.
001 didn't say anything this time.
………
The people from Fancheng arrived that evening. Si Jinnian went out to greet them personally. Commander Fan brought more than a dozen cars with him. He got out of the first black car, holding his daughter's arm.
"Third Master, long time no see."
Fan Sheng is nearly fifty years old, but he is in good health. He wears the same military uniform as Si Jinnian and has a hearty laugh.
"Third Master."
Fan Lingyu was dressed like an aristocratic lady, in a pearl-apricot Chanel-style suit, with straight black hair draped behind her head. Under her straight legs, she wore a pair of black round-toed leather shoes with heels. She was elegant and noble, yet also a little playful and cute.
Si Jinnian glanced at the two of them:
"The room has been arranged. Commander Fan must be tired after sitting in the car for such a long time. Go in and rest first."
Fan Sheng looked at Si Jinnian, whose temperament became more calm and reserved, and patted him on the shoulder:
"We're all veterans of the battlefield. We're not too exhausted from a five or six-hour car ride. Jinnian, let's go in and talk first."
Fan Sheng had unknowingly changed the name of "Third Master" to "Jinnian".
Xue Cheng glanced at Si Jinnian worriedly. He originally thought that the rumors were a bit exaggerated, but Fan Sheng's attitude now clearly showed that he regarded the Third Master as his future son-in-law. Thinking of Miss Fan in front of him and Miss Liu who lived on the second floor, he silently worried for his Third Master.
Si Jinnian nodded: "Yeah."
The group came to the living room, and Fan Lingyu chose a seat opposite Si Jinnian and sat down.

The Republic of China is too sensitive SOS. It has been blocked by the system for review several times recently. I need to revise the outline urgently. I will finish one chapter today and the rest will be finished tomorrow.
