This is terrible! My future prime minister keeps trying to kiss me forcibly.

Chapter 190 I am an orphan

After failing to persuade him, Deputy General Wu left with a few of his men.

Soldier A: "Lieutenant, are we just leaving like this?"

Soldier B: "You're not leaving because you want to stay and freeload?"

Soldier C: "That's right, that's right. I saw that the lieutenant was also starving. He was staring at the food in the pot when he was in the kitchen."

Deputy General Wu flicked him on the forehead.

"You brat, if you can't speak properly, then shut up."

He glanced back at the He family courtyard and felt that He Jing was no ordinary person; even if he didn't join the army, he would have a bright future.

He had never seen a hunter speak in such a literary manner.

He Jing's eyes darkened as he watched the group walk further and further away.

Although Wu had never dealt with this man in his previous life, he knew that the man was a subordinate of the General of Zhennan.

He remembered that General Zhennan was brave and skilled in battle, and his military tactics were superb. He once single-handedly broke into the enemy camp and took the head of the enemy leader.

"Big brother, do you know them?"

He Wuyou walked over, followed He Jing's gaze, and asked.

He Jing paused, turned around, and said, "I don't know him."

"Let's eat first. Your mother and sister-in-law went to town to look at the house today and won't be back until this afternoon."

He Wuyou nodded and ran to the kitchen with her sister to set out the dishes.

"I hope Brother Shi'an didn't fall into the latrine? He's been gone for a long time."

He Wuyang picked up his chopsticks while complaining.

He Wuyou chimed in, "It has been a long time indeed. He rushed to the outhouse as soon as those people appeared outside our yard."

The speaker has no intention, the listener has the heart.

He Jing pondered for a moment. That kid's surname was Lu, and the General of Zhennan's surname was also Lu...

The two of them? They shouldn't have any connection, right?

In my previous life, I had never heard of General Zhennan having any children; it seems he never even started a family.

Just then, Lu Shi'an came running in from outside the courtyard.

He glanced furtively around the yard, trying to make sure those people from earlier hadn't left.

After confirming that Vice General Wu and the others had left, he was overjoyed and felt very happy.

I was secretly relieved that I hadn't been discovered.

Hehehe~

He Jing didn't miss the relief in the boy's eyes. It seemed that his guess was probably right. Lu Shi'an and General Zhennan had some kind of relationship.

"You've been away for so long, aren't your family worried?"

He Jing's expression remained unchanged, as if he had asked the question unintentionally.

Lu Shi'an paused in his eating. Had Vice General Wu just said something?

Could they really be looking for me?

Seeing three pairs of eyes staring at them, He Wuyou and his sister's gazes were clear and curious.

But Brother He's gaze... made him feel a little uneasy.

"I...I am actually an orphan."

If your father doesn't love you and your mother doesn't care for you, what else can you be but an orphan?

Upon hearing this, He Wuyang's eyes immediately filled with heartache. So this is how tragic Shi'an's situation is; he lost his parents at such a young age. It's truly pitiful.

He Jing did not expose his lie, and Lu Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Ye Xiaoxiao only realized today that it was really not easy to settle down in the town. Just buying a small house would cost a lot of money.

An ordinary brick house costs nearly one hundred taels of silver.

Fang Yazi was always good at reading people's expressions. Seeing that the two people in front of her seemed to be hesitating, she immediately used her silver tongue.

"Oh my, you two, I'm not trying to be rude, but the location of Qifeng Town is absolutely unbeatable."

"Look at this lively scene of people coming and going; it's so comforting to watch."

"And there's everything you could want to eat, use, or play with."

"Besides, that house we just saw is in a great location. Several people have already shown it to me and were quite satisfied. If you hesitate any longer, it might be gone."

He was troubled after hearing what the broker said.
