Chapter 37 Trouble
Seeing that it was a woman, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but become alert, and moved the long sword away from her, and then asked her softly: "Who are you, how could you hide here?"
The woman was frightened and only hugged herself tighter, but did not answer. Her fearful look was even better, making people feel pity.
However, Zhou Shixiang did not mean to pity the flowers, but instead wanted to figure out who this woman was and how to hide here.
He frowned, put the knife in the sheath with his back hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I won't hurt you, don't worry, just reply."
Seeing Zhou Shixiang put away his knife, his face was not ill-skinned, and he didn't look like a bad person. The woman felt a little relieved and whispered: "My name is Lin Wan'er, and she is the daughter of the Lin family in the city."
"Which Lin family?" Zhou Shixiang didn't remember which Lin family in the city, and looked at the other party with a puzzled look on his face.
Seeing that he was really unaware of it, Lin Wan'er had to say, "My father is Lin Wanfu, the owner of Datong Rice Shop."
When Zhou Shixiang heard that it was this person, he suddenly realized the figure of the fat shopkeeper with a flattering smile appeared in his mind. However, he became stranger and asked Lin Wan'er: "Since you are Lin Wanfu's daughter, why are you hiding in this house in this state yamen?"
"this..."
The reason for the incident made it difficult for Lin Wan'er to speak of it. Somehow he told the strange man in front of him.
"Don't you say it?"
Seeing that Lin Wan'er was reluctant to say something, Zhou Shixiang couldn't help but snorted and raised his face. Although the other party was just a weak woman, her appearance was too strange and he would never be relieved if he didn't understand what was going on.
His face was stern, and he immediately frightened Lin Wan'er, who was already frightened. He shrank back and didn't care about the face of his daughter's family. He blushed and said in a low voice: "My father sent me to General Qian Qian, Kong Guoliang as his concubine three months ago. After you entered the city last night, Kong Guoliang left me and ran away alone. There were soldiers outside, and there were dead people everywhere. I didn't know what to do, so I hid in this room."
After hearing this narration, Zhou Shixiang shook his head secretly, and Lin Wanfu asked his biological daughter to be a concubine for Kong Guoliang. This father's character is too cold and he is not afraid of others pointing at his back and scolding him.
"You get up."
After knowing the reason, Zhou Shixiang's tone was no longer cold. He signaled Lin Wan'er to get up, pondered for a moment, and said to her: "Kong Guoliang has been killed by me, you go home."
"Is Kong Guoliang dead?"
When Lin Wan'er heard this news, she was a little surprised, but she didn't have any sadness. Instead, she sighed like she heard good news.
It is no wonder that Zhou Shi met Lin Wan'er's attitude. Kong Guoliang was a rough man. She was given to Kong Guoliang as a gift by her father. How could she have a good impression of Kong Guoliang and how could she have feelings for him?
This is true. Lin Wan'er has no feelings for Kong Guoliang, and some of them are just humiliation and sadness. Kong Guoliang's death has no other thoughts except to make a big rock in her heart fall into the ground. However, Zhou Shixiang asked her to go home a little unexpectedly. He seemed to hear something unbelievable and couldn't believe it and said, "Do you really let me go back?"
This time it was Zhou Shixiang's turn to be surprised: "If you don't let you go back, what should I do if I keep you?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of blush quickly appeared on Lin Wan'er's face. She raised her head with courage and looked at the other person carefully. She found that the man in front of her looked very handsome, many times stronger than Kong Guoliang. She felt a little moved, but she was quickly suppressed and her thoughts turned to the matter of going home.
Thinking of that family, Lin Wan'er's indescribable sorrow was given to Kong Guoliang by her father. She had resentment and hated her, but no matter how resentful she was, she could not change the fact that she was insulted by Kong Guoliang. It was already done, so she could only endure it. No matter how wrong her father was, she was still poor, and now she had nowhere to go except to return to the Lin family.
But I don’t know what my mother is now. After I heard that after I was sent away, she had a long fight with her father and she cried every day. I guess she must be worse than before.
Lin Wan'er was thinking about her mother's body, and she was as if she was returning home. Seeing that Zhou Shixiang's expression was not fake, there was no teasing in her eyes, she even turned sideways to avoid her and asked her to leave. She no longer dared to hesitate. She walked out of the house, fearing that the man would go back on his word and deceive her.
Just as Lin Wan'er walked carefully to the door of the house, Zhou Shixiang behind her called out again: "Miss Lin, wait!"
This "Stop" made Lin Wan'er stand there all of a sudden, with only one thought in her mind: Is this person teasing me, is he going to occupy my body?
Unexpectedly, the man behind him said, "Miss Lin, it's dark now and it's not peaceful outside. How can you, a single woman, go home alone? That's it. I'll send someone to your house to inform you and ask your father to send someone to pick you up. This is more appropriate."
But it's not what I thought...
Lin Wan'er was mixed with emotion, turned around gently, crossed her hands on her left waist, and bowed to Zhou Shi slightly, and vomited with a thin lips: "Thank you!"
Lin Wan'er looks beautiful, young and charming, especially her breasts are very plump, which makes people inevitably have that kind of thought.
Zhou Shixiang is not a saint, but a normal man, how can he not be moved? However, he has just passed the tragedy of his parents, wife and children, and is full of thoughts on how to establish a foothold in Luo Ding against the Qing Dynasty. Naturally, he will not have such a man or woman for a while.
In order to avoid being discussed and afraid that he would not be able to control himself, Zhou Shixiang asked Lin Wan'er to wait for the house next door, and he went to ask someone to inform Lin Wanfu. He also knew that Lin Wan'er had been hiding in the house for a day and must have been hungry in her stomach, so he asked someone to cook some food.
Lin Wan'er was grateful for this arrangement, but she was not convenient to come and thank her.
The person sent to the Lin family to inform the yamen was a minor official named Zheng San who was used as a servant on weekdays. After Zhou Shixiang's instructions, he rushed to the Lin family and thought that he could tell Lin Wanfu to take his daughter home. Lin Wanfu was happy and wanted to send him some silver rewards.
However, when he arrived at the Lin family, Lin Wanfu heard the news that his daughter was safe and sound, he did not mention sending anyone to pick her up, and did not reward Zheng San, who reported the news, and only asked him to come back and report that his daughter was safer than his family in the state. If he could be taken care of by General Zhou or Lord Song, the Lin family would be grateful and thankful!
What does this mean? Do you want your daughter?
After hearing Zheng San's refusal to get angry, Zhou Shixiang didn't know how to say it. Duke Xiang of Song also knew about this and asked the officials in the yamen. He knew that what Lin Wan'er said was true, and he also looked very despised Lin Wanfu as a father. His previous favors disappeared instantly.
"Sir, how do you think Lin Wan'er?"
Lin Wanfu did not take his daughter back, and Zhou Shixiang could not place her for a while. He could not accept this girl as a concubine like Kong Guoliang. After thinking about it, he kicked the ball to Duke Xiang of Song.
Duke Xiang of Song didn't know Zhou Shixiang's calculations, and then said, "I dare not take away the beauty of others because of my brother. Since this woman was discovered by my brother, let me deal with it." After that, he patted his butt and went to bed.
Duke Xiang of Song's direct refusal made Zhou Shi stunned, thinking that he was not a woman?
Alas, let me deal with it, how can I deal with it?
