Lin Mingqian had a cold look on his face, but when he saw Lieutenant General Wu, his expression suddenly relaxed.

"coming?"

"General." Deputy General Wu clasped his fists respectfully.

"How's the training going?"

"General Zhonglang has done a great job. The soldiers are now well-trained. I believe that in time they will become the backbone of defending Yongjin."

Lin Mingqian nodded absentmindedly, "Then I feel relieved."

Deputy General Wu looked at Lin Mingqian tentatively for a few times and then slowly said, "General, the General has made great contributions this time. You should reward him well."

Lin Mingqian shook his head. "He is a general in our Yongjin Army. It is his job to do all this. What reward do he want?"

Deputy General Wu sighed and said, "But if others do well, the general will always give some rewards. The Lieutenant General has always been hardworking and uncomplaining, but you have never rewarded him. How can this be possible?"

Lin Mingqian was stunned for a while and then slowly said, "He is the son of my Lin family. These are what he should do."

"But General, besides being a member of the Lin family, the General is also a very talented general." Deputy General Wu frowned and defended Lin Yuehong.

"A sharp sword is forged through constant grinding." Lin Mingqian's eyes were deep, and he sighed, "Your Majesty is eyeing our Lin family covetously now. Besides, many people in the court also want to see me fall. Yue Hong is not a man of great talent, so how can I dare to hand over the Lin family to him?"

"But your training method is a bit too harsh. After all, Zhonglangjiang is your only son."

After a pause, he said earnestly, "You should be careful not to do the opposite. If you hit the ground, it will backfire."

Lin Mingqian sneered, "If he really has the guts, I would still think highly of him. Well, you don't have to worry about this. I know Yue Hong well. The most important thing to him is the Lin family."

Yes, what Lin Yuehong cared about was never the Lin family, but the people in the Lin family, Lin Mingqian, Song Yingyue, and Lin Tingwan.

"You know it clearly, don't you?" Deputy General Wu looked at Lin Yuehong in confusion and said slowly, "Just now when I saw the appearance of the General of the Central Army leaving, he must have felt very aggrieved."

Lin Mingqian didn't speak for a long time. Being spoken to like this by his subordinate of many years, he doubted for a moment whether he had done the right thing.

But Lin Mingqian soon calmed down. The situations of each household were different. The Wu family could not compare with the Lin family. Although they were also a wealthy family, they were not making a living under the eyes of His Majesty. Lieutenant General Wu's children did not need to work so hard.

Seeing Lin Mingqian's displeasure, Deputy General Wu didn't say anything more. He changed the subject and asked, "General, what is the matter that I was summoned to come here for?"

"How much do you know about Prince Gong?"

"Prince Gong, he..."

……

Lin Tingwan originally wanted to finish this dinner and leave.

But who would have thought that after the meal, Pei Jinan actually called her and said, "The famous actor from Suzhou is coming to the opera house today. Do you want to go and listen?"

Lin Tingwan shook her head without even thinking, "No need, it's getting late, I should go back. If I go back late, my mother will be worried."

Pei Jinan smiled sullenly, "Miss Lin, don't worry. General Lin agreed to your coming out with me today. No one will say anything bad about you. Just go with me without worry."

Hearing this, Lin Tingwan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Pei Jinan in disbelief and asked, "Do you mean that my father knows about this?"

Pei Jinan nodded slowly.

Lin Tingwan was furious at this moment. She had just told her that she had not said anything to Lin Mingqian, but now she was telling the truth.

Lin Tingwan had hidden her coming out this morning from everyone. Now that Pei Jinan had done this, wouldn't everything she had done be in vain?

Pei Jinan seemed to have expected her to do this, so he slowly said, "Don't worry, Miss Lin. General Lin even supports you coming out with me."

The reality is that Lin Tingwan only believed half of what Pei Jinan said. After all, he had a long criminal record. However, he had talked to her about it an hour ago and didn't say anything. Now that he had told her the truth, she no longer had any secrets.

Lin Tingwan narrowed his eyes and quickly asked, "What else did you say to my father?"

Pei Jinan quickly shook his head, "It's really nothing."

Suddenly, Pei Jinan changed the subject and said with a faint smile, "But if Miss Lin must know, why don't we go to the opera garden together? Who knows, when I feel better, I might tell Miss Lin what I said to General Lin today."

After saying that, Pei Jinan slowly stood up and prepared to walk out.

Lin Tingwan bit her lower lip and finally said slowly, "Okay, I promise you."

Pei Jinan turned around, and the curve at the corner of his lips looked very much like the fox Lin Tingwan saw in his previous life.

When you are under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. The word "forbearance" is like a knife hanging over your head. It's just watching a show. She is just looking at it from below. What else can she do?

But despite this, Lin Tingwan was still a little angry. She walked out of the private room with slightly flushed cheeks. At this time, Yuzhu and Lianqiao were guarding the door. Seeing her expression, they were both slightly stunned.

Especially Yuzhu, when she saw Pei Jinan coming out, she looked indignant.

Pei Jinan found it interesting and said, "Why don't you two follow your young lady? You won't be able to see anyone later."

The two of them finally reacted and quickly turned around to look for Lin Tingwan.

Lin Tingwan was so angry at the moment that he didn't care about anything else and got on the carriage quickly.

Fortunately, Yuzhu and Lianqiao were quick enough and managed to get on the carriage.

Lin Tingwan's eyes were wide open at this moment, with anger flashing in his eyes. He pursed his lips tightly and spoke slowly, "I'm going to the Pear Garden now. If you two have anything to do, go back first."

What a joke! How could Yuzhu feel at ease to leave in this situation? Although there were indeed some things to do in the mansion, in Yuzhu's heart, nothing was more important than Lin Tingwan.

She quickly shook her head and said, "Miss, what can I do? I will naturally go with you."

Lian Qiao nodded somewhat unnaturally and said, "Miss, I want to go with you too."

It was the same for her and Yuzhu. She knew that Pei Jinan would not do anything bad to Lin Tingwan, but they had been master and servant for so many years, and Lian Qiao still thought about it and did not want to leave Lin Tingwan's side.

Lin Tingwan didn't say anything about this, but nodded and said, "If that's the case, you two can follow me if you want, but don't tell anyone in the mansion about what happened today, no matter who it is."

"Yes, don't worry, miss." They said in unison.
