A low-key luxury car stopped at the door of the old house, and a man and a woman in suits got out of the car.
Qin Feimo sorted out his clothes for the third time, feeling a little nervous. Although Qin Feihong was his cousin, she was much more stable than him, with an elite temperament. When she saw the daughter of the clan waiting at the door of the old house, she nodded to her and said, "Thank you for your help."
Ming Huang held a red lantern and led the two into the house with a serious look. After entering the antique house, Qin Feimo, whose hairline was receding, felt a little weak in the knees. Although he was a leader of the younger generation in the Qin family, he had a problem that he could not overcome - fear of ghosts.
From childhood to adulthood, every time his family wanted to bring him to the old house, he would turn into a naughty child in a second, lying on the ground crying and making a fuss and refusing to come. Even when he had to come, he was terrified and his legs would always shake unconsciously.
"Stop shaking your legs. It will be very disrespectful if you continue to do so when you meet the clan god and his wife later." Cousin Qin warned him in a very serious voice. Qin Feimo would definitely argue with her in the past, but now, she really couldn't do it. Such a big man almost collapsed into a ball.
The two walked through the solemn and mysterious old house and came to the shrine. The shrine still smelled of the aroma of burning incense sticks, but there were many more red camellias in full bloom. The lady, who rarely appeared, sat alone in the center of the shrine, like a classical oil painting.
Qin Feimo quickly glanced at the shrine and didn't find anything strange. He relaxed a little and finally managed to complete his task this time.
The work that the cousins were in charge of at the Qin's was rather complicated and busy, so normally family members had to make an appointment if they wanted to see them. But when Madam Shishen needed them, of course they immediately changed their clothes, took the information, and rushed to the old house.
Qin Feimo didn't waste a second, pulled out the information and said, "Madam, we have already investigated your family situation. The specific files have just been transferred from Yulin District. Here, please take a look."
He wanted to say something else, but suddenly he saw his wife suddenly turn her head to look at the air around her. There seemed to be something invisible around her! He froze, his tongue couldn't move straight, and he became a useless person who was afraid of ghosts.
Qin Feichang knew his situation very well. He sighed, stepped forward to save the situation, and continued, "After our investigation, we found that the lady's father and his parents came to Yuzhou forty years ago, got married and started a family, and have been settled in Yulin District. We found the customs files of that year. They came from Yanzhou and their original registered residence was in Suying District, Yanzhou. We have had preliminary communication with them and received feedback that confirmed this."
She put down the documents in her hand and took out another stack of documents.
"We also investigated the Luo family in Yanzhou, but we were not able to investigate too thoroughly because of the tight time schedule and the time that passed. Yanzhou used to have two clans. The Lin family still exists, but it is not as big as before and has very few members. The Luo family, according to records, died out more than 200 years ago. There are very few remaining members, and most of them have left Yanzhou one after another. We have not been able to find out the situation of all of them for the time being. Now the only ancestral home of the Luo family is still in Suying District..."
Luo Yuan listened quietly, a little distracted, and couldn't help but look at the clan god floating beside him.
Yesterday, Shishen suddenly said that she was from Luoshen's family. Today, she called two members of the Qin clan to sort out the matter clearly. She didn't even know that her family had moved from Yanzhou. There seemed to be some unspeakable secret, otherwise her parents and elders would not have mentioned it at all.
It’s not that Luo Yu’an couldn’t accept it, she just didn’t understand why her second brother suddenly cared about this matter.
The God of the clan placed a hand on her shoulder, his brows and eyes showing a soothing smile, "An, why don't you go to Yanzhou and take a look at the Luo clan's ancestral land."
Luo Yu'an asked seriously, "What does Second Brother want me to do there?"
Qin Feimo was so frightened when he saw his wife talking to the air for no reason that he turned pale. If his cousin hadn't reached out and helped him calmly, he would have fainted on the spot. At this moment, the glasses on his nose were still shaking.
Madam must be talking to the clan god. Even if the clan god is in the shrine, not everyone can see it. Qin Feichang is much more capable than his cousin. He sat there and listened to Madam talking to herself and said, "Okay, I'll go there."
Madam was going to Yanzhou, and Qin Feimo and Qin Feichang were going to accompany her as entourage, because their departments were responsible for negotiating the relationship between Yuzhou and other states, exchanging information, etc. It was the first time for the two heads of their departments to travel as guests.
It was the first time for the two elites to play this role as guests, and they quickly got into the mood. They first sent an official document to Yanzhou to enter the customs, and contacted the Lin family where the Lin family god was. Even though the Lin family was no longer comparable to the Qin family, this thousands of years of etiquette was still needed. Then they arranged a series of travel matters for the lady, including food, clothing, housing, transportation and entertainment, and made sure to make her satisfied.
Although it was rumored that this lady had a good temper, Qin carefully studied her file several times and naturally did not miss her murderous feat.
"He looks harmless, but judging by the report on the murder scene, he is not a simple person. We must treat him with caution."
Qin Feimo listened to his cousin's words and smiled numbly, "Do I still need to read this analysis? Judging from the fact that she dealt with our clan god in such a short time, I know that she is definitely not a simple person... Anyway, I feel that I can't catch up with her."
The two were very careful throughout the whole process, and they almost picked up Luo Yu'an to protect him. Luo Yu'an was fooled by his second brother's words "Just think of it as a trip to Yanzhou to relax" and got on the plane to Yanzhou. He was full of doubts, but when he saw the two Qin family members wearing the same glasses and looking like they were facing a great enemy, he still found it ridiculous.
"I don't have any requests, and you don't have to be busy anymore, just sit down and rest."
The two of them sat down as they were told. In addition to Luo Yu'an, the plane that took off from Yuzhou only had Ming Huang, the daughter of the Qin family, and a group of tall and strong bodyguards, chefs, and Qin Feimo's siblings and their assistants, almost all of whom were around her. She was escorted from the old house to the Qin family's private airport, and the takeoff was arranged immediately. It took less than two hours to fly to Yanzhou.
When the plane landed, she was escorted off the plane again. She was dizzy and was invited to a spacious and comfortable lounge to adjust herself. Standing in this room, through the large glass window, she could see the words "Yanzhou Entry Station". The view was excellent. The people entering the customs looked like a black torrent as she looked down.
Each state has an entry and exit station, and people need to go through these two stations for identity verification when entering and leaving the country. Luo Yu'an has a special identity, and when he left Yuzhou before, he did not have to go through this exit link, but when he came to Yanzhou, he needed to be checked because his identity was different from that of ordinary people, and it was even more troublesome.
"Madam, we will be leaving soon. You can take a rest first." Qin Feichang followed her and introduced her diligently, talking like a tour guide. "If you don't want to rest, you can also choose to visit the tower. The entrance tower of Yanzhou is the third largest tower in Dongzhou..."
Seeing that she seemed very worried that he would become impatient due to the customs inspection, Luo Yu'an felt helpless and chatted with her casually.
"Who are those people? I don't think I've seen them at our Yuzhou immigration station."
Qin Feichang saw her pointing at a group of armed men in black clothes and red badges, and said, "They are inspectors. Every state has them at the border, and they belong to the East Continent Military Department. But we don't have these inspectors in Yuzhou."
Luo Yu'an was puzzled. She had never paid attention to these things before and had no idea about it.
Qin Feichang: "Madam, you should know that our Yuzhou is the only autonomous state among the thirty-six states in the East Continent, except for the two border states."
"Although the public is not aware of this, almost all institutions in the state are supported by our Qin family. Since the establishment of the Dongzhou regime two hundred years ago, our Yuzhou has always been independent of other states. The military once sent inspectors to Yuzhou, but they were blocked outside of Yuzhou."
Luo Yu'an: "Why?"
Qin Feichang's serious face naturally showed some pride, "Because our clan god does not allow it."
She cleared her throat. "It is said that in the past, because of something, the Dongzhou military offended our clan god. The clan god was angry and taught them a lesson. So as long as the clan god is still there, they dare not interfere with the internal management of our Yuzhou."
Luo Yu'an understood all at once. It was probably about General Qin's incident more than two hundred years ago. His second brother might have felt that his good child had been corrupted after going out, and he wanted to come back to destroy the family, so he was very unkind to the "invaders" later.
But, would the second brother still be angry? Think about it, even if he was angry, he would probably say "I am angry" while smiling, which is not scary at all.
Thinking of this, she suddenly missed the god, picked up her phone and made a video call. Ming Hui answered the call quickly, walked into the shrine without saying a word, placed the connected phone in the direction of the altar, and then quickly left.
When Luo Yu'an and Ming Huang were not around, she didn't dare stay at the shrine.
She couldn't see the clan god, so she thought the clan god was staying at the altar. Luo Yu'an looked at the empty altar and didn't see anyone for a long time, so she called out, "Second brother?"
At her call, the god floated in front of the phone and sat on the altar with his sleeves hanging down, like a fine exhibit.
An looked at him through the phone and said with a smile: "Second brother, I'm in Yanzhou. Look, the immigration station."
Ujigami sighed, "Well, what a strange house."
Luo Yu'an: "What's so strange about that? I heard it was designed by a famous designer. And look at that tower. I heard it's the third tallest tower in Dongzhou. Isn't it very tall?"
Qin Feimo watched this scene and listened to his wife and Shi Shen having an ordinary video chat. He felt a sense of confusion and confusion on his serious face. Shi Shen, why are they having a video chat? Why can the video capture Shi Shen? This is not fantasy at all!
Qin Feichang, who was preparing to inform them that they could leave, was holding his ID and happened to see Shi Shen on Luo Yu'an's phone. His steady steps stumbled and he was caught off guard by the shock and collapsed towards the assistant beside him.
Assistant: “…” Boss, a girl like me really can’t handle all your muscles, please be strong and stand up.
Luo Yu'an walked and talked with his cell phone in hand. Whenever he saw scenery different from that of Yuzhou, he would talk to the clan god on the other side of the phone.
"The buildings here are a little different from those in Yuzhou. Look, what was that flower tree just now? It's blooming so beautifully. I don't think there's any in Yuzhou. Do you like it, brother? If you like it, I'll take some back to plant."
"Second brother, where have you been again? Aren't you interested in this scenery?"
"That's good. Look at that bridge across the river..."
Qin Feimo had already turned into a puddle on his seat, his spirit and soul had already been wasted. Qin Feichang still sat firmly beside his wife, listening to her change her previous silence and continue talking to the clan god.
How should I put it? Previously, she felt that the lady was calm and steady, and had the feeling of a virtuous wife, but now, listening to her conversation with Shishen, she felt that she was like a young child. Well... That was indeed the case. She was in her twenties, younger than her.
When she finally hung up the video with a sense of unfulfilled desire, the stagnant air in the car began to circulate again. Qin Feimo struggled to regain his human form and continued his work, reporting in a weak voice: "Madam, our schedule today is to visit the Lin family, and tomorrow we will officially go to the Luo family's ancestral land in Suying District. What do you think?"
Luo Yu'an once again showed his good talk: "Okay."
Lin's house is located in the city, but it is quiet in the midst of the hustle and bustle. There is a bridge in front of the door and a small garden as soon as you enter the door. The houses are exquisite and the scenery is picturesque, but the land is not very large.
The person who came to receive them was a little nervous. After bringing them into the house, he saw a petite girl waiting there, and then he felt at ease to hand them over.
The girl was wearing a long skirt, and her figure was a little ethereal. She glanced at Luo Yu'an with a cold face, and her cold snort expressed the word "unfriendly" vividly.
"I am the wife of Lord Lin, welcome. The accommodation is ready for you, please make yourselves at ease," she said emotionlessly.
Luo Yu'an was a little embarrassed: "Sorry to bother you, we're just visiting and we'll be leaving soon."
The girl glanced at her, and her expression became a little better. "You seem to be polite, unlike your Qin family god."
She floated away after giving her instructions coldly. Luo Yu'an raised the phone in her hand. She didn't know when she got connected to the video call again. The god on the other side of the camera was smiling.
"Second brother, Lin's God's wife seems to have some opinions about you. Have you ever had any misunderstandings with Lin's God?"
"Hahaha, I'm ashamed, ashamed. The Lin God came to ask me about the weak period before, but I had just been contaminated at that time and couldn't control it. I almost swallowed him. Although I failed to swallow him and spit him out in the end, his wife probably still minds."
"Don't worry, Lin Shishen has a good temper and won't cause you any trouble."
Luo Yu'an: "..."
She turned to Qin Feichang and said, "Put down the gift for visiting, we will leave now."
If you put yourself in her shoes, if your second brother was swallowed and spit out by other clan gods, she would probably bear a grudge for the rest of her life. In comparison, the attitude of Lin's wife just now was too friendly, which was really shameful.
