244 Luring a Wolf into the Den?

Lu Ze was very busy.

Early the next morning, Lin Suisui was informed by Bai Guo that Lu Ze had set off for the Huben camp before dawn.

She had nothing else to do recently, so she took out the medical booklet she had obtained on the way and began to flip through it. However, she had only read two pages when she was suddenly alarmed by the commotion in the courtyard.

She couldn’t help but put down her pen. Then, she stood up and lifted the curtain before walking out of the door. She saw Wei Qing arranging for people to carry bags of things into the courtyard.

“Sister, these are some leather goods I hunted with my brothers when I was free previously! It’s cold in the north, so these can be used to make clothes and cloaks to ward off the cold!

Also, these tiger bones and herbs are useless to me. I’ve moved them over for you! Sister, see what you can use them for!

“I don’t know anything about these pearls and gems we seized from the northern barbarians! Sister, take them!”

Wei Qing stood in the middle of the courtyard as he pointed at the boxes. Then, he turned to look at Lin Suisui with a fawning smile. “My mother said that the most important thing in life is to know how to repay kindness!

“You saved my life, so it’s only right for me to repay you!”

“But I—”

Lin Suisui subconsciously wanted to refuse, but she saw the old steward of the outer courtyard rushing in from the entrance. As soon as he saw her, he bowed and replied respectfully, “Madam, there are people from Duke Huai Yang’s ministry outside. They said that Duke Huai Yang’s mother invites you over.”

“I’m busy. I’m not going!”

Just as Lu Ze had analyzed with her last night, the old consort really thought that she was a pushover and came looking for trouble!

Lin Suisui instructed the old steward straightforwardly, “Tell the people from Duke Huai Yang’s ministry that however she treats the wife of the general who stabilizes the north better be how she treats me!

Otherwise, don’t regret it when history repeats itself”

When the old steward heard Lin Suisui’s instructions, he left. When Lin Suisui came back to her senses and was about to push the gifts out of the courtyard, she realized that Wei Qing had already disappeared!

“Madam, don’t worry. Sir previously instructed us to just accept it if General Wei has too many things to send to our residence!”

Bai Guo, who was at the side, also saw Lin Suisui’s dilemma. She covered her mouth and said to her with a smile, “Sir said that General Wei has been fighting outside all year round. What he doesn’t lack the most is probably silver and these leather goods. You don’t have to worry about his gift being too overboard.”

Upon hearing Bai Guo’s words, Lin Suisui instructed Yuan Niang to organize these things and put them in the storeroom. At the same time, she didn’t forget to instruct her to go to the storeroom to get some cloth to make clothes for the siblings in her courtyard.

Lin Suisui read the medical book for a while longer. Seeing that it was about time, she got up and went to Yuan Niang’s courtyard with Bai Guo to check Du Yue’e’s condition.

However, to Lin Suisui’s surprise, Wei Qing was also there when she came over.

At this moment, he was in the middle of the courtyard, holding a branch and teaching Yue’e’s brother some simple sword techniques.

Seeing Lin Suisui and the others come over, Yue Heng stopped what he was doing. Then, he turned around and bowed to Lin Suisui obediently.

“This kid is young, but his comprehension of swordsmanship is quite high.” Wei Qing put away the branch and explained to Lin Suisui with a smile, “If he finds a good master, he will definitely become accomplished in the future.”

“General, are you willing to accept me as your disciple?!”

Without waiting for Lin Suisui to speak, Yueheng suddenly turned around and knelt on the ground in front of Wei Qing. He looked up at him seriously and asked, “I-I want to learn sword techniques from you. Is that okay?!”

“Why do you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship?!” When Lin Suisui saw Yueheng’s expression, she could more or less guess the reason he had made this decision.

However, she still asked this question softly.

She hoped that Yue’e would hear them.

“I want to learn sword techniques and become a general in the future. This way, no one will bully my sister anymore! I want to protect my sister. I don’t want anyone to bully her anymore!”

Yueheng’s back was facing Yue’e, so he didn’t know that his sister had already walked out of the room as he continued to explain to Lin Suisui and Wei Qing.

“But if you want to be a general, you have to suffer a lot. Aren’t you afraid?!” Lin Suisui slowly walked over and reached out to pull Yueheng up from the ground. Then, she smiled and said, “Things will be much more bitter than the medicine you usually take!”

“From now on, I’ll obediently take medicine every day!” Yueheng blushed as he quickly promised them, but at the same time, he looked at Wei Qing eagerly. “General, are you willing to teach me?!”

“From now on, you’ll practice the martial-art squat three times a day!” Before Wei Qing could speak, Lu Ze’s response came from behind them.

Lu Ze had yet to take off his armor when he strode in from outside the courtyard. He stood in front of Yueheng and lowered his head to look at him. With a murderous aura that was even more ruthless than Wei Qing’s, he promised him, “When you can stand steadily for twelve hours a day, I’ll arrange for you to learn other things. How about that?!”

“Thank you, General.” Yueheng had seen Lu Ze once before, but at that time, Lu Ze wasn’t dressed in military attire like he was now. He had heard from his sister that this was also a general and the husband of the goddess who had saved them and taken them in. It would naturally be better if he could teach them!

Lu Ze nodded and turned to look at Wei Qing. “It just so happens that General Wei is free now. You’ll get rusty if you don’t practice martial arts for a few days, so you can accompany him to squat every day!”

“Huh?!” Wei Qing was exasperated. He had been in battles on horseback for many years and had even been to the hinterland of the grassland. Why did he have to practice the horse stance with such a little kid now?!

Lu Ze seemed to guess Wei Qing’s reaction. Before Wei Qing could refuse, he had already looked away and looked at Lin Suisui, who was standing beside him. He said with understanding, “With General Wei’s current status, he naturally can’t be patient with a child! I didn’t think it through. Don’t worry, as long as this child is willing to learn, I’ll find another person to teach him…”

“I didn’t say I couldn’t teach him!” Before Lu Ze could finish speaking, Wei Qing quickly interrupted. “Brother-in-law, you’re right. I’m free every day. If I come over to teach this little fellow while visiting Lin Suisui, it’ll be killing two birds with one stone!”
