Chapter 289 The wedding ceremony will be held tomorrow.
Lin Chang'er naturally knew that there must be other hidden reasons behind this, otherwise, their group would not have been wiped out.
However, you can't guess it just by guessing.
So, Lin Chang'er's eyes, as clear as autumn water, flickered, and she asked, "So, anyone want to come along for a nighttime raid on the Sun residence?"
"I," a small head immediately peeked in from outside the door, "Mom, I'll go with you. I can already use my light-footed skills to climb over walls."
The little goldfish walked in and looked longingly at its mother.
Lin Chang'er: "..." My child, but your mother doesn't know any light-body skills!
You're only five years old, you can't carry your mother. Wait, it seems like he really can carry her?
Lin Chang'er was madly in love.
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"Auntie, I want to go too!"
Another brood of little ones poured in from outside the door, big and small. Lin Yanqing, Gu Silang, and Zhou Li were there, of course. Gu Xiaoman, who loved to join in the fun, was also eager to participate. Since her older and younger brothers had gone, Gu Xiaolu had to go too. The little girl even took Xiao Zhouyi by the hand, which was very kind of her.
In addition, Zhou Xiaoniu, Xiaoshan, Xiaoshu, and Datou, who often hang out at Gu's house, as well as the newly joined Da Mao and Xiao Mao, are all eager to join the fight.
Even Li Qingning, who had injured her foot, was eager to try.
Only Li Qingyang stayed with Li Chuan, who was injured and had herbal paste stuffed in his ears, and they lagged behind. Both of them had regrets written all over their faces.
Because the old woman doctor said that Li Chuan should take good care of himself and not overwork himself.
As a neighbor who had grown up with him since childhood, Li Qingyang naturally had no choice but to stay and keep him company.
"Mom, didn't you say this afternoon that you'd assign us tasks when Grandpa Village Head and Uncle Eleven came back?" Little Goldfish said. Her mother had even specifically told them to eat well tonight!
It's clear that the little guy really wants to do something to help his mother.
Lin Chang'er was both amused and exasperated. She had originally planned to bring a group of little ones to Wu Qingfeng's house to ask for their father, even though Wu Qingfeng was unlikely to have a son as old as Yan Qingzhou Li Silang.
But isn't he the head of a county, the local official?
It's not too much for the whole family to call him "father," is it?
But now, Bai Shaoan and County Magistrate Li have brought new information, so the plan has to be changed.
Lin Chang'er rubbed the little goldfish's head. "But the situation has changed. Tonight is just to scout things out. Tomorrow is the main event! How about you two rest up tonight and go all out tomorrow?"
The stars in the little goldfish's eyes lit up and dimmed, dimmed and lit up again.
He thought to himself, "His mother is definitely lying to the child again," but what could he do but believe her?
The little goldfish nodded helplessly, "Okay! I'll go to bed early tonight."
"Then I'll go to bed early too," Gu Xiaoman immediately agreed.
"Let's hurry home and get some sleep!" the little ones discussed among themselves.
Zhou Yi was Gu Xiaoman and Gu Xiaolu's little shadow. After his older siblings expressed their support, he immediately became anxious. He found Zhou Li and tugged at his sleeve, "I, I, Uncle, Uncle, please take Xiao Bao home quickly. Xiao Bao needs to go to sleep early. Xiao Bao won't be able to get up tomorrow."
The little ones scattered, and the main room became quiet.
Lin Chang'er watched the little ones' backs as they walked away, pursed her lips, and then turned to look at Bai Shao'an.
Bai Shaoan nodded, "I'll gladly oblige."
County Magistrate Li said, "I'll be waiting outside."
After finishing the last bite of his rice, Xiao Shiyi said, "I'll also go and have someone look after me, like the county magistrate."
Lin Chang'er nodded. County Magistrate Li was a civil official; he could wield a pen, but not a sword. He would be there to provide support outside. Lin Chang'er wasn't worried about herself, but rather about him.
Xiao Shiyi is one of the most skilled in the village, so I can rest assured that he's going with me.
Zhou Hai returned late and hadn't finished eating yet. He mumbled, "Let Da Shan take a few skilled archers with him!" If something happens, having someone to cover for them will make it easier for them to evacuate.
Lin Chang'er nodded, "Uncle Hai is right, I'll go find Brother Dashan now."
"I'll go, I'll go tell Brother Dashan." Xiao Shiyi immediately got up and went out.
Lin Chang'er called out to his retreating figure, "Gather in fifteen minutes!"
"Okay!" Little Eleven replied and ran out of the courtyard gate without looking back.
A quarter of an hour later, the carriage sped out of Linshui Village.
Guest room at the Sun residence.
A plump middle-aged man stood in front of the bed, with a group of young and beautiful maids behind him, each holding a tray with exquisite dishes.
The man on the bed had a refined and handsome face, his eyes closed, oblivious to the outside world's disturbances, treating it as nothing more than a turtle chanting scriptures.
The middle-aged man had curved eyebrows and lips, looking just like Maitreya Buddha. The man on the same bed earnestly advised, "Lord Wu, why bother with this?"
"They say distant water can't quench a nearby fire, and besides, after tomorrow, we'll be family."
"I imagine that my in-laws, who live far away in the capital, wouldn't mind having another good way to make money, right?"
The man on the couch was none other than the missing Wu Qingfeng, and the middle-aged man was Sun Furen, the wealthy man.
Bai Shaoan guessed correctly; Wu Qingfeng had indeed caught Sun Furen's eye, who forcibly took him in as a live-in son-in-law.
However, although Wu Qingfeng was momentarily careless and fell into his trap, he never gave him a kind look from beginning to end.
Annoyed by the nagging, she slowly opened her eyes, glaring at Sun Furen, and said, "Get lost!"
Sun Furen was humiliated and felt embarrassed. He cursed inwardly for being ungrateful, but then he remembered that he was a key part of his master's plan and suppressed his anger.
"Okay, okay, I'll go, I'll go, but can I leave my things behind?"
"The wedding ceremony is tomorrow, and I doubt Lord Wu would want to be forced to do it!"
He gave a wink to the maids behind him, and they quickly placed the dishes on the table.
Sun Furen smiled and said, "Lord Wu, think it over carefully. If you get hungry, have something to eat."
"Everyone says that Lord Wu is a smart man, so I'm sure he'll be able to figure it out."
After saying that, he turned around and took a few steps, then turned back and said, "Oh, I forgot to mention, when the master came to look for that person, he was in poor health and not at all frightened."
"I seem to have developed a high fever this afternoon. I don't know if I can hold on until tomorrow to attend Lord Wu's and my daughter's wedding banquet."
Wu Qingfeng's eyes narrowed, his fingers, hidden in his sleeves, clenched tightly, and a cold glint swept over Sun Furen again, "Threatening me?"
Sun Furen smiled and acted as if nothing had happened. "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare. But Lord Wu has always been diligent in his duties and loves his people. Surely he wouldn't just stand by and watch the people under his jurisdiction die?"
Wu Qingfeng glanced at the fat, big-eared bastard in front of him, a hundred ways to kill him flashing through his mind. But when he thought of Li Mian's imminent death and the detention of the Digital Brothers, he suppressed his anger and coldly asked, "What do you want?"
Seeing that he had softened, Sun Furen's smile became more genuine. "Didn't I say that I was overjoyed when I first met you, sir?"
"I wish to offer you a marriage, a path to wealth, and to share in the riches of life with you."
