Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Shao Wei smiled and said, "Then wait here for a while, it should be soon."

After General Huo passed away, the court sent a new general to manage the army. Yao Fangzhi now holds an important position in the army and cannot be away.

So the person they were waiting for here at this moment should be Lin Cong who had already left the military camp.

But this place is remote. It doesn’t look like the house of the Yao family, nor does it look like the house of the wealthy Lin family. Why did Shao Wei find this place?

As if sensing her doubts, Shao Wei said, "After General Huo's accident, Huo Shibei and I felt that there must be something wrong with Yao Fangzhi and Lin Cong, but we had no evidence and could not draw a conclusion, so we sent people to keep an eye on them."

"Yao Fangzhi is easy. He is in the military camp and Huo Shibei has his own spies keeping a close eye on him. As for Lin Cong, I will have my secret guards follow him all the time. Since returning to the capital, Lin Cong has never been low-key. It is not difficult to find out his whereabouts."

In terms of wealth, the Lin family is not as wealthy as the Ming family. However, Mr. Lin is a very capable man. He has made friends with countless dignitaries in the capital. In addition, the palace intends to marry the daughter of the Lin family with the fourth prince, which forces those officials to look at the Lin family differently.

After all, everyone knows that among the few princes of the current emperor, the most favored one is the Fourth Prince.

Although His Majesty has appointed a crown prince, he is nothing but a fool in the eyes of everyone. He is allowed to bear this title, but when the time comes, he will be kicked out to make way for the Fourth Prince.

This is also the reason why Lin Cong is so arrogant in the army.

After returning to Beijing, he never behaved himself. He had many wives and concubines at home, but he kept a mistress outside. His wife was so angry that she had a big fight with him and went back to her parents' home.

Lin Cong didn't care and still met the beauty here every day.

But it is strange that although he often comes here, he never spends the night here. Even if it is very late, he will leave here and go to Yuexin Tower or return to Lin Mansion.

Gu Qinghe counted the medicine powder in her sleeve pocket again and again, only to find that she did not bring enough and the medicine was not strong enough. However, after she had found out everything and confirmed that it was indeed Lin Cong and Yao Fangzhi who had harmed her brother and General Huo, she had plenty of ways to make these two people wish they could neither live nor die.

She told herself that there was no definite evidence, and the reason she was taking revenge on Lin Cong now was because he often caused trouble for Chen Qingshan when he was in the army.

Niu Jun said that this man did not get along well with Chen Qingshan and thought that the position of commander should belong to him, so he often caused trouble for Chen Qingshan.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinghe nodded with a clear conscience, then pursed his lips. Why should he try every possible means to find excuses here? If he simply disliked Lin Cong, couldn't he just beat him up?

So she nudged Shao Wei with her elbow and said, "The medicine powder I brought is not strong enough. If it has no effect on Lin Cong later, can you help me hold him down so I can give him a good beating?"

Shao Wei: “…Okay.”

The moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful, and Shao Wei could catch a glimpse of Gu Qinghe's expression from the corner of his eye.

She seemed to be very expectant, her round eyes fixed on the direction of the courtyard gate, ready to sprinkle the medicine powder on Lin Cong's head as soon as he came out.

Shao Wei doesn't care much about appearance. In his eyes, a fairy-like person is nothing more than two eyes and a nose, there is no difference.

So when he saw the red spot on Gu Qinghe's face when they first met, he didn't think it was that ugly.

But now, he felt like there seemed to be something wrong with his brain.

To make sure, Shao Wei turned his head and stared at Gu Qinghe without blinking.

Somewhat weird.

Shao Wei felt that Gu Qinghe's every smile, frown and every move seemed different from those of others in his eyes.

For example, at this moment, she was looking at the gate of the courtyard, with some anticipation, some nervousness, and even some undisguised malice in her dark eyes.

But looking at it like this, no matter how you look at it, it's so... cute?!

As soon as this word came out, Shao Wei shuddered and almost fell off the tree.

He thought, it's over, I haven't had any spare time for too long recently, it's been a while since I used to fight with swords, so I'm getting sick from being idle.

Shao Wei quickly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and looked up at the moon hanging in the sky.

The moon tonight seems especially round.

Gu Qinghe had no idea how complicated his thoughts were at the moment, and her attention was all focused on the entrance of the courtyard.

After waiting for a long time, the gate of the courtyard was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a young man walked out.

With the help of moonlight, Gu Qinghe could see his appearance clearly.

His facial features were barely acceptable, but whether it was because he had stayed in the military camp for too long or was naturally so, Lin Cong's skin color was a little dark. Besides that, his steps were a little unsteady, and he didn't look like a martial artist at all.

Gu Qinghe turned around to confirm, "Is it him?"

Shao Wei nodded, "Yeah."

Seeing that Gu Qinghe was ready to make a move, he raised his hand and pressed down her wrist, which was ready to move, "Don't be impatient."

Gu Qinghe calmed herself down and watched Lin Cong gradually walk away, some distance away from the yard.

Lin Cong had just been satisfied, and his whole body was relaxed. When he came out of the yard, he was still muttering some ungrateful words.

"Those two guys at home can't fill the rotten hole. They cost me so much money, and now they want to leave. Ha, there is no such good thing in the world. Leave? I have to wait until I have had enough fun before talking about it."

"You know what, when a kid like this plays - ah!"

Before he could finish his words, Lin Cong felt as if someone had slapped him hard on the back of his neck. His vision went dark and he instantly lost consciousness.

Shao Wei under the tree knocked the man unconscious. Gu Qinghe on the tree was confused. Didn’t you say to wait a while?

She stretched out her hand, "How do I get down?"

Shao Wei touched his nose uncomfortably, went over to catch her, and did not forget to kick Lin Cong hard when he landed.

"He's dizzy now, can I take this opportunity to give him a few beatings?"

"what ever."

Beating him a few times certainly wouldn't satisfy his hatred, so Gu Qinghe used all the medicinal powder he brought on Lin Cong.

"This is itching powder. When it starts to itch, your whole body will feel like it's crawling with insects. You can't control yourself from scratching until it becomes ulcerated."

"This powder has little effect. At most, it will make him unable to sleep and make him feel the itch that is scratching his heart and lungs."

"This one……"

“This bag…”

"and this……"

As packets of medicine powder were sprinkled on him, Shao Wei felt his scalp tingling and took a small step back.

After sprinkling the powder, Gu Qinghe was still not satisfied. He stood up and stared at Lin Cong again and again, then raised his foot and kicked him hard in the butt.

The kick was not light. Lin Cong groaned and was about to wake up. Gu Qinghe quickly pulled Shao Wei to the side.

Shao Wei grabbed her and said, "No need to hide, just continue."
