Chapter 775 [Under the Brocade 71]
Lu Yi earnestly requested Wu Shouxu to invite the two girls back, and at this moment, Xu Zhihan hurriedly chased out and said to Lu Yi frankly: "Sir, what I am worried about is not just Sir Wu Shouxu's official position. He is really concerned about the people! Sir Wu has been in this position for many years and has rich experience in resisting the Japanese pirates. If he is dismissed this time, the army will inevitably face large-scale personnel changes and adjustments. In this way, when will the Japanese rebellion be quelled?" After that, Xu Zhihan bowed deeply to Lu Yi, his expression solemn and serious.
When Lu Yi heard this, he instantly understood Xu Zhihan's profound meaning, and immediately solemnly stated that he would do his best to live up to his trust.
However, after thinking for a while, Lu Yi couldn't help but ask Xu Zhihan a question: "My father Lu Ting has invited you to help many times before, but you declined. Why are you willing to serve under Lord Wu Shouxu now?"
Xu Zhihan sighed slightly and said slowly: "Your Excellency may not know that I am from Zhejiang. Seeing my hometown suffering from the ravages of the Japanese pirates, how could I bear to sit back and watch!"
On the other hand, Yuan Jinxia was thinking secretly in her heart that she was worried that Wu Shouxu had ulterior motives towards Lu Yi. So, she reminded Lu Yi with worry to be more careful. Lu Yi smiled slightly and comforted her: "Don't worry, I know what to do about this matter."
At the same time, Lin Ling was going out to buy medicinal herbs. Youyou learned that Yan Shifan had already arrived in Hangzhou, and was concerned about Lin Ling's safety, so she decided to accompany Lin Ling to the pharmacy to buy medicine. Along the way, the two were cautious and kept an eye on the surroundings.
Before leaving, Youyou specifically asked Jinxia to visit Yang Chengwan. Because Yang Yue ran away from home without saying a word, Yang Chengwan was heartbroken and locked himself in the room, refusing to open the door no matter who knocked.
After hearing the news, Jin Xia was extremely anxious and rushed to Yang Chengwan's room. At this time, Yang Chengwan was sitting alone in the room sighing. He could never have imagined that Yang Yue, who was always strong, would be so vulnerable. Just a slight injury on his face changed his temperament and he chose to leave without saying goodbye. Yang Chengwan began to reflect on whether he had put too much pressure on Yang Yue, causing him to lose confidence and courage.
Jin Xia hurriedly comforted Yang Chengwan and told him a secret that had been hidden in her heart: Yang Yue was not very interested in being a constable, and he insisted on doing this job because he was afraid of making Yang Chengwan unhappy. In contrast, Yang Yue's real passion was cooking, and he would feel extremely happy as long as he had the opportunity to cook.
After hearing what Jin Xia said, Yang Chengwan sighed deeply. At this time, the clever Yuan Jin Xia immediately tried her best to make Yang Chengwan happy. In the end, Yang Chengwan felt a little better, and the two went to the dining room to prepare for dinner.
Meanwhile, Lin Ling had just bought some medicine and was walking home. Suddenly, several burly men blocked her path. One of them clasped his fists and said, "Miss Lin, our master would like to invite you to treat a patient in his mansion."
Before Lin Ling could say anything, Youyou responded with an unhappy look on her face: "Go back and tell your master, has he forgotten what I said last time? If he keeps pestering me like this, don't blame me for not considering our past friendship!"
Coincidentally, the man who came to intercept them happened to know Youyou. He bowed respectfully to Youyou, then did not dare to say another word, turned around and left quickly with the others.
Lin Ling looked at Youyou with suspicion and asked softly, "Junior sister, could it be that your brother really did such a cruel thing?"
Youyou nodded with a guilty look on her face, tears welling up in her eyes. She said with a choked voice, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister. My brother was indeed involved in the annihilation of the Lin family. If I had known that he would do such a heartless thing, I would have tried my best to stop him!"
Lin Ling quickly reached out and gently patted Youyou's shoulder, comforting her: "Little sister, we have been together for so many years, how could I not understand your character? You did not grow up with your brother since you were a child, but were carefully raised by your grandfather. You and your brother are completely different people!"
At this moment, Youyou seemed to suddenly remember something and said hurriedly, "Senior Sister, I sent people to inquire about Sister Lin He's daughter before, and now I finally have some clues."
Upon hearing this, Lin Ling instantly became excited and asked impatiently: "Tell me quickly, where is the person?"
Youyou took a deep breath and slowly uttered three words: "Yuan Jinxia."
"What? It's her!" Lin Ling widened her eyes in disbelief and asked again, "Are you serious?"
Youyou nodded vigorously and answered with great confidence: "Senior Sister, please believe me, this matter was finally confirmed by my trusted subordinates after a long and careful investigation."
However, Lin Ling frowned and asked in confusion: "But as far as I know, Yuan Jinxia obviously has a mother?"
Youyou patiently explained: "Senior sister, you don't know that the so-called 'mother' is actually just her adoptive mother. However, I heard that this adoptive mother treats Jin Xia very well."
"I see. But will Jin Xia recognize me? After all, so many years have passed." Lin Ling murmured softly with a sad face, a hint of uneasiness and anxiety in her eyes.
Youyou on the side hurriedly comforted her: "Jinxia had asked Ayi to help find her relatives before. After I accidentally learned of this news, I paid more attention to it. Unexpectedly, I discovered that she is Sister Lin He's daughter! But I didn't tell anyone else about this." After saying that, Youyou smiled at Lin Ling, letting her rest assured.
When Lin Ling heard this, she was filled with gratitude and hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Junior Sister. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would never see my niece again in this life."
Youyou waved her hands quickly, and said with a guilty look on her face: "Senior sister, please don't be polite to me. In fact, it is me who is sorry for you. My useless brother and those people in the family made such a big mistake. Although I have never been directly involved in it, I have the blood of the Yan family flowing in my body after all. Senior sister, please believe me, I will do my best to help you redress the injustice suffered by the Lin family!"
Lin Ling was startled when she heard this, and then asked worriedly: "Junior Sister, have you never considered what kind of difficult situation you will face once this case is completely overturned?"
Youyou nodded without hesitation and answered firmly: "Of course I have thought about it, but this is what our Yan family owes your Lin family. Even if the road ahead is full of difficulties and thorns, I will never retreat even a single step!"
Seeing Youyou's resolute attitude, Lin Ling didn't know how to respond for a moment. She just opened her lips slightly, wanting to say something but didn't know where to start.
At this time, Youyou spoke again to comfort her: "Senior Sister, you can go and meet Jin Xia without any worries. As for the Lin family's case, leave it to me to handle."
