General Qu's daughter, Qu Tinglan, has no name and is only 10 years old. According to her aunt's description, this girl is born with supernatural powers and is invincible in defeating all the men of the same age in her hometown. General Qu was very happy to hear this.

Yuan Zhao: "..." Really?

After a cursory inspection, this woman has an innocent and lovely face and a strong figure with broad shoulders and a round waist.

When she met Marquis Dingyuan, she was neither humble nor arrogant (newborn calves are not afraid of tigers), and stepped forward step by step, making a sound as she stepped on the ground. Unfortunately, Yuan Zhao was still injured and could not move. Otherwise, she really wanted to see if the floor he had stepped on was still okay?

"Tinglan, the eldest daughter of Qu, pays homage to the Marquis and the princess." With dissatisfaction, Qu Tinglan bowed politely.

The eldest daughter? Yuan Zhao was slightly surprised, she was actually raised in her hometown in the countryside?

"Get up." Bei Yueyan said with a kind expression, "Being away from home brings many inconveniences. As the eldest daughter, you need to serve the elders in the family peacefully. You must not be naughty and willful and let the elders worry about you."

"Folk girls know," Qu Tinglan said bluntly after standing up, "the south is in chaos, with natural and man-made disasters everywhere, and there's nowhere to go if I want to."

The main reason is that I don’t dare, for fear that if I go out and encounter a flash flood, people will be sucked into it and disappear in the blink of an eye.

So scary~!

After a pause, the child couldn't help but ask: "Master Marquis, why don't you allow those civilians to continue to follow you?"

"Lan'er!" The sister-in-law Qi's face changed slightly and she glared at her.

Helpless, Miss Qu was brave and pretended not to see her, and stood stubbornly in the hall waiting for a reply.

"It's true that a tiger father has a dog daughter," Bei Yueyan praised with a smile, "He is bold and careful, has an upright temperament, and has a pure heart. He is worthy of being a member of the Qu family."

Haha, Mrs. Qi and others couldn't tell whether his words were praise or criticism, so they could only laugh.

"I have made many enemies. I kept a low profile before, so it would have been fine if I let them follow me. Unfortunately, your family revealed my identity. If someone wanted to pay attention to me and came to assassinate me, it would be bad if I let them follow me." Bei Yueyan explained,

"Not only are they in danger, but you, the Qu family, are also in danger. You must carefully consider whether you want to go together."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, we will follow from a distance. There are still a few guards at home, so there should be no problem." Before Qi could speak, another aunt was already busy telling her people's plans.

Hearing Mrs. Qi and Miss Qu feel extremely embarrassed, doesn't this mean that they are telling others that the Qu family is timid and afraid of getting into trouble?

How shameless is it to want someone to protect you and have someone help you in a critical moment, but not to get involved in someone else's right and wrong?

"That's very good." Bei Yueyan didn't care about other people's plans. He motioned for Miss Qu to take a seat and began to ask the other party's elders, "I heard that an elder in your family was injured?"

"Oh, it's a trivial matter, it's a trivial matter..." Mrs. Qi was afraid that her niece and aunts would say nothing again, so she hurriedly said, "We were in danger one after another. My mother-in-law was old and couldn't bear the trouble and fell ill..."

While escaping, I sprained my ankle and sprained my waist. I was lying in the guest room of the inn moaning and groaning. I really couldn't come over, so I had to ask some older aunts and sisters to accompany Qu's family to come to say hello and apologize.

.

"I'm really sorry. Qu Eryi was so anxious that he put the Marquis and the princess in danger." Qi took advantage of the conversation and added, "The guards at home are quite capable. If there are any

If necessary, Lord Marquis can just ask for arrangements..."

After receiving an unexpected reply, Qu Tinglan's frowned little brows relaxed, and her dislike for the Marquis faded away. While the adults were talking, she glanced at the child who had been sitting quietly next to her father.

Show sympathy.

It sounded like a condescending princess, but she was so thin and weak, leaning weakly in her chair, as if she could kill her with one slap.

Is this what a noble girl from the capital looks like? She is too weak to be kicked by her.

Yuan Zhao: "..."

I don’t know why, but her mood suddenly became inexplicably bad. The little kid in front of her seemed to be despising her...

Several aunts and sisters-in-law of the Qu family are married women and do not care much about the relationship between men and women. However, Dingyuan Hou is a serious military commander. His unruffled and powerful aura makes the women feel oppressed, and they can talk to each other for a few words.

He stood up and said goodbye.

After the others left, Bei Yueyan glanced at his daughter with a slumped face:

"Zhao'er, what do you think of the Qu family's daughter?"

"Not at all. His emotions and anger are evident in his expression, which shows that he has a simple personality. Coupled with this powerful figure, I'm afraid he will suffer hardship when he gets to the capital." Yuan Zhao said angrily.

"Oh? Why?" Bei Yueyan asked with interest.

"Simpleness attracts happiness, fatness attracts playfulness. I remember when I was at home, the fifth sister told the children that women should not be greedy. If they eat too much, they will get fat and make people laugh. Unless Miss Qu is a royal relative, she will be laughed at and ostracized by the noble ladies.

." This is the truth.

"Then are you willing to make friends with him?" Bei Yueyan nodded and asked again.

"A simple person has a simple mind. When he arrives in the capital, he might be incited to treat me as an enemy from then on. What's the point of making friends with me?" Yuan Zhao spread his hands, with a look of helplessness on his face, "It's a waste of feelings. It's better to study it slowly and see if it can be put to use.

.”

Haha, Bei Yueyan was amused by her rich expressions and said:

"People's hearts are fickle. There are no absolute good people or bad people in the world. You should not be biased towards them. Speaking of Qu Guangping's eldest daughter, her mother was Qu Guangping's first wife. She had a difficult childbirth and unfortunately passed away..."

It turned out that Qu Tinglan was too strong when she was born, and Mrs. Qu was weak and died of hemorrhage.

It would have been better if she had given birth to a son, but it turned out to be a huge daughter who was hated by her parents-in-law and sent back to her parents' home to be raised.

The year before last, Qu Tinglan's maternal grandmother died one after another, and she was taken back to her father's hometown in Anbei. Seeing that she was old enough to discuss marriage, the elder of the Qu family sent a letter to General Qu in the capital, asking her to go to Beijing to choose a son-in-law.

, don’t delay the child.

"Not long after Mrs. Qu died, General Qu married back his stepmother, took in three concubines, and had three daughters and two sons. If the nobles in the palace had not mentioned it, the title of Qu's eldest daughter might not have fallen to the person in front of me."

"The noble one in the palace? Which one?" Yuan Zhao became curious again.

"Meimei Yang of Yuxiang Palace." Bei Yueyan said bluntly, "The mother of the eighth prince and the late wife of the Qu family are close friends."

Yuan Zhao: "..."

Staring at his father, he blinked silently. This operation seemed familiar. It seemed that the Qu family had not mentioned Yang Meiren just now.

"Dad, how did you know about the relationship between Yang Meiren and the Qu family?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Zhao'er, you have to remember that no matter what time, accurate and reliable information will always be the most important bargaining chip in your hand. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you strategize and win the invisible." Bei Yueyan warned his daughter earnestly.

"So how can we have accurate information? How can we tell whether the information is unreliable?"

"See more, listen more, pay attention to the details of all parties, and judge the authenticity based on the situation. When you return to the capital, don't worry about going out to cause trouble all day long. You still have a lot to learn. Parents have their own business, so you have to be conscious.

Do you understand?"

"I understand, kid." Yuan Zhao puffed up his cheeks and nodded reluctantly.

Who said she would cause trouble when she went out? When did she go out for fun? It was obvious that someone was causing trouble for her, but she couldn't just stand and get beaten.

Helpless, her father couldn't hear what she was saying. He was only deeply pleased with her well-behavedness and touched the top of her hair. Alas, parents feel distressed when their children are too sensible; parents have a headache when their children are too naughty.
