Chapter 23 This Is What You Said

Lin Fan couldn't help but chuckled at this question.

Seeing Qin Luan raised his eyebrows slightly, Lin Fan explained: "I laughed, not because of your question, but because of your address."

"Name?" Qin Luan was puzzled.

"Miss Qin called my father the Duke of the old country. In fact, he was only 33 years old when he passed away, and he was still far away from being 'old'." Old madam, in the other family's house, she can't reach such a seniority at her age."

After a few words, Qin Luan heard infinite emotions.

It can be heard that Lin Fan has deep feelings for Lin Xuan and his wife.

Although he decided early on that he was not the other's biological child, in Lin Fan's mind, those two were still his parents.

It can be seen that during his growing years, he was very well nourished.

Thinking about this, Qin Luan didn't bring the question back immediately, and said with relief: "The name is weird, and it's not only in the Duke's house. Not to mention other places, our Qin family is the same."

Everything starts with war and everything ends in war.

"My father is the eldest son and the eldest master, and my uncle is the second master," Qin Luan said, "but there are actually two elder brothers ahead of them, and the family never mentions it."

When Qin Luan was young, she always thought that her father was two brothers. It wasn't until she learned the characters and the order in which the tablets were placed in the ancestral hall that she realized that there were two uncles.

They left early and died in troubled times.

I didn't mention it later, probably because Mrs. Hou didn't want to mention sad things.

Lin Fan looked at Qin Luan.

He had heard about the situation of the Qin family.

In fact, if there is such a situation, is it not just one or two?
The chaotic times at the end of the previous dynasty lasted for more than ten years. Who didn't die in battle, sickness, or starvation?

Even the Zhao family, who finally sat on the dragon chair, paid a bloody price.

The cruelty of war cannot be summed up by those few lines and numbers on the battle report.

Lin Fan was just a little surprised that Qin Luan was trying to comfort him.

In fact, he had already accepted the situation in the Duke's Mansion, and he just sighed a little.

Clearing his throat, Lin Fan answered Qin Luan's previous question: "I'm sure he died of illness.

My father had a lot of old injuries, which recurred during the march, and the military doctors really couldn't save him.

At the end of the year, the Marquis of Yongning marched westward with additional troops, and experienced his father's relapse to his death. I thought, Marquis of Yongning was by his side. "

Qin Luan pursed her lower lip unexpectedly.

At that time, the Qin family actually participated in it?

After thinking about it again, Qin Luan thought about it.

That year my grandfather did lead troops to the west, and it was not long before this expedition that my grandfather said "Concubine Shun cursed the old official to die in battle" in the imperial study, blocking Concubine Shun's first marriage proposal.

For a moment, several thoughts swirled in his mind.

Qin Luan clenched Fuchen to gather himself, and asked very directly: "Master Guo has never thought about it, maybe my grandfather is a murderer, or a cold-eyed bystander?"

In Lin Fan's life experience, brother and sister Lin Xuan guarded against the empress dowager and the emperor.

Yongninghou is the general of the Zhao family.

If he had followed the orders of the emperor and empress dowager to give the Lin family wrong information about Lin Xuan's death, it would not be impossible.

As for Lin Fan, he took a good look at Qin Luan.

Being able to bite one's heart with open mouth and beckon ghosts with closed mouth, Qin Luan really has the guts of a leopard in imagination.

In front of the deceased's son, it is very human to question his grandfather's murder.

"Miss Qin is like this." Lin Fan couldn't find a description for a while, so he could only give up and came to a conclusion, "My aunt once said that among the courtiers, the most trustworthy one is the Marquis of Yongning."

Hearing this, Qin Luan breathed a sigh of relief inaudibly.

The assumption is bold, but the heart is very empty.

She was worried that her grandfather would be involved. Although she was following orders, but...

"No," Qin Luan murmured in a low voice. Seeing Lin Fan looking at her, she took a deep breath and said with a broken smile, "If I cared, I was confused. I was wrong. No matter what, my grandfather would never do that kind of thing." thing."

The Lin family has made great achievements, and the Qin family and the Lin family have fought too many battles together.

Lin Han's body was shrouded in horse leather, and Lin Xuan inherited his father's will and led the western expedition.

Grandfather and Lin's father and son have a brotherly friendship. Even if the emperor and Lin Xuan disagree on certain matters, as long as Lin Xuan does not kill the king, and does not lead his soldiers to join the enemy and die in vain, then even if the emperor decides to According to his will, with his grandfather's loyalty and uprightness, it is impossible for him to do such a frenzied thing as murdering the commander-in-chief during the expedition.

In this regard, Qin Luan has confidence in his grandfather.

Reining in his mind, Qin Luan quickly sorted it out again, and asked, "Children can't appear out of nowhere, where is the real child of the Lin family?"

Lin Fan said: "I guess, she is now my mother's maid."

Adoptive mother and son are also mother and son.

Lin Fan was very sensitive to his mother's emotions.

After my father died of illness, although my mother was still supporting the family affairs, she was very distracted.

Two years later, the mansion bought a maid back, and my mother liked it very much, and she was Qiaoyu if she kept it with her.

That kind of liking is different from the mother's treatment of other maids, only those who are close to her can understand, it is the earnest, mother's love.

It has to be said that Qiaoyu's appearance made Lin Fan feel much relieved.

Parents chose to protect him and gave up their own daughter, causing Qiaoyu to lose a lot of things that should belong to her, and they don't know how she is doing outside, whether she is suffering or not.

Now, she is in the mansion, beside her mother.

In order to prevent the empress dowager and the emperor from being suspicious, she can only be a humble maid, but she lives a carefree life.

As long as there are people, there are opportunities for compensation.

Qin Luan nodded.

The Lin family gritted their teeth and sent away their biological daughter instead of becoming twins.

In the pain of losing her husband, Mrs. Lin gritted her teeth and persisted. After two years, she took back her daughter in the name of a maid.

In order to hide Lin Fan's life experience, the Lin family sacrificed a lot.

And Lin Fan...

Qin Luan raised his eyes and looked at Lin Fan.

In Lin Fan, she couldn't see the weirdness he once had.

Cheerful, outgoing, smarter than a monkey...

These descriptions are not visible at all.

Lin Fan changed.

After overhearing a conversation between his father and his aunt, he had to change.

And the loss of his father, and the family business, made all his changes reasonable enough to be unintentionally doubtful.

"My lord," Qin Luan asked softly, "You just told me about such an important matter?"

"From the mouths of my mother and aunt, it is difficult for me to find out the truth. The only one I can hope for is Mrs. Loyalty Uncle Uncle." Lin Fan glanced at Qin Luan and said calmly, "I ask you for this matter, of course Be open and honest, this is what you said."

Qin Luan rolled his eyes and smiled as usual.

That's right, it was she who said it not long ago.

She even thought about it a moment ago, coming and going, seeking each other, and doing things reliably.

She puts her request first, and Lin Fan's words come second, once the thief boat comes on, it cannot get off.

"I'll try to ask Aunt Lan," Qin Luan said, "Three days later, if you're still here, I'll give the answer to the Duke, the second Highness's handle..."

Lin Fan gave a certain sentence: "I have heard some rumors, and after I check it, I will give you a certainty."
