Stunning Poisonous Doctor Princess

Chapter 683 Her Brother's Past

"We're here to find a man named Gou San, but we seem to have come to a wrong place. Sorry to bother you. We're leaving now."

Lin Mengya didn't mean to give up rescuing her brother, but what Meng Ziqi and his Fourth Sister had done really gave her the impression that the members of this family acted strangely.

She involuntarily doubted whether Gou San, who lived here, could save her brother.

At the same time, she thought that it was better to save her brother by herself than to pin her hope on such an unreliable person.

Unfortunately, the members of this family, especially Gou An, did not intend to let them go so easily.

Since he appeared in front of Lin Mengya, he had been staring fixedly at her with his sharp eyes.

His rude and presuming behavior left an unfavorable impression on Lin Mengya.

Just when Lin Mengya was about to turn around and leave with Qinghu, Gou An called out to them to stop them from leaving, "Wait a moment. I'm Gou San you're looking for. Are you General Lin's family member from Marquis Zhennan's Mansion?"

He directly revealed her identity.

Lin Mengya involuntarily became vigilant, looked at him cautiously, and nodded slightly.

Nevertheless, there were plenty of people knowing her in the Capital City.

Therefore, she wasn't immediately convinced that he was Gou San.

"Is that true? I've heard of you from my Second Senior Brother long before. Unexpectedly, you've grown into such a lady. Please come in. Ziqi, Yuhe, serve tea. Ningyun, don't be rude to Miss Lin," Gou An said.

The sudden change in his attitude surprised Lin Mengya.

What was more, Gou An, who had been indifferent just now, now showed a very amicable smile, which confused Lin Mengya even more.

Nevertheless, she had never been a person accustomed to avoidance. Since Gou An asked her to stay, she might as well take it calmly.

"Thank you," she said doubtfully, thinking that she would be safe with Qinghu around.

After walking past a few small thatched cottages behind the four people, she finally saw a decent hall.

Nevertheless, it was not decorated in an overly ostentatious style.

Among the four people, except Ningyun, who was still eager to have another fight with Qinghu, the others all showed different degrees of kindness towards her after learning that she was from the Lin Family, especially Meng Ziqi who seemed to be about to throw himself at her.

If it weren't for the pressure from Gou An and Qinghu who gave Meng Ziqi a hard look, he would probably have crossed the line.

The weird atmosphere made Lin Mengya feel a little uneasy.

"Don't be nervous. There are no outsiders here. Speaking of this, your brother must have told you that he had gone out to learn martial arts before he turned 15 years old, right?" Gou An said with a pleasant smile, which failed to ease Lin Mengya's uneasiness.

Hearing his question, Lin Mengya pondered for a moment.

Her brother followed her father to the military camp for training a few years after her mother passed away.

So her brother probably went out to learn martial arts during the few years before joining the army.

Moreover, her brother had held the enviable position of young general since he was 15 years old.

Therefore, she was not sure about this matter.

After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya shook her head and said, "My brother didn't mention it. Perhaps your Second Senior Brother has the same name as my brother."

Hearing Lin Mengya's answer, Gou An showed a look of regret.

"Alas, I see. Just forget it. Mentioning his relationship with me will probably cause him big trouble. I haven't seen him for five years. If you don't trust me, you should be able to recognize this, right?"

As Gou An spoke, he drew a small cloth package from his bosom.

Lin Mengya took it over and unwrapped it gently after making sure there was nothing wrong with it.

The small cloth package had faded a little over the years.

Inside, there was a small wooden sword about the length of her palm rather than something precious.

At the sight of this, Lin Mengya knew that Gou An in front of her was the man she was looking for.

Lin Mengya stroked the small wooden sword with a trace of warmth in her eyes.

"It's been so many years. I didn't expect my brother to still keep it," she said.

The thing that Lin Mengya recognized at a glance was the gift she gave her brother when she was five years old.

Back then, although Shangguan Qing had married into the Lin Family, she had not fallen out with them yet.

However, Lin Mengya might have sensed the potential danger, so she asked someone to find a wooden sword as a birthday gift for her brother so that her brother could use it to protect himself.

She had forgotten her thought back then as time went by.

Even now, she could only remember this small wooden sword.

It had been more than ten years, and the surface of the small wooden sword was no longer as smooth as it had been when she just bought it.

However, Lin Mengya's concern for her brother rooted in her memory did not change because there was another soul in her body.

She stroked the small wooden sword, on which there was the character "Sheng" she carved by herself at the age of five.

No one could copy her crooked script.

Her brother had treated this small sword as a treasure and kept it with him all the time.

Since Gou An could present it, he must have a very close relationship with her brother.

She immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, she fulfilled her mission and finally found Gou San.

"No wonder your brother told me that if we meet, I can convince you as long as I present this. Now that you're my Second Senior Brother's sister, you're also my sister. Just tell me if you need any help."

Gou An looked at Lin Mengya and spoke with a smile, as if he had regarded her as one of them.

The generosity of swordsmen amazed Lin Mengya, who had been living in schemes.

She couldn't help having a favorable impression of Gou An.

After pondering for a moment, she retold what exactly her brother had told her to Gou An.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the four of them in the room burst into an uproar.

"It's impossible! Eldest Senior Brother would absolutely not do this!"

The one, who reacted most strongly, was Ningyun, who had been frosty.

At this moment, she glared at Lin Mengya with her almond-shaped eyes like a dragon breathing fire, and shouted, "You must have made a mistake! Eldest Senior Brother will never betray Second Senior Brother! If you dare to slander him again, I, Qin Ningyun, will never spare you!"

Lin Mengya was irritated by Qin Ningyun's attitude.

In fact, Qin Ningyun was the only one, who had glared at the two of them as if they had murdered her father since the moment she met them.

Judging from her behavior just now, Lin Mengya could tell that she was not only ignorant and reckless but also narrow-minded.

At this moment, her aggressive attitude provoked Lin Mengya.

Lin Mengya said with a sneer, not intending to let her go, "Now my brother is detained in the prison of the government office. I don't know who your Eldest Senior Brother is, but my brother has made up his mind to take the blame. If our Lin Family hadn't gotten involved in this, he definitely wouldn't have said that. The male members of our Lin Family have always been loyal. Without conclusive evidence, he won't judge anyone at will like a lunatic!"

On hearing Lin Mengya's words, Qin Ningyun, who didn't like them from the very beginning, gritted her teeth and said with rage in her eyes, "Who are you calling a lunatic?"

"Whoever judges others at will!" Lin Mengya said.

In terms of pissing off someone, no one could compare with Lin Mengya.

In an instant, Qin Ningyun tightened her grip on her sword, anxious to rush over to kill her.

Meanwhile, Qinghu, who did not join their conversation, lowered his eyes.

Just as Qin Ningyun was about to rush over, he appeared beside her like a phantom and said, "If you dare to lay a finger on her, I'll kill you."

The piercing coldness like a gust of strong wind from hell instantly rendered Qin Ningyun immobile.

She, who had attempted to attack Lin Mengya with the long sword, found her wrist had been grabbed and her slender white neck had been seized by a delicate big hand at this moment.

The others in the room did not expect that the man, who could barely rival Qin Ningyun just now, turned out to be a high-level martial arts master far beyond them.

"You want to attack me? Apart from stabbing those weaker than you, what else can you do with your sword? I think it's better to break it off," Lin Mengya said.

Lin Mengya hated those who bullied the weak, especially someone like Qin Ningyun, who thought she could punish all those, who disobeyed her, just because of her capability in martial arts.

Lin Mengya looked up with both undisguised disgust and indifference to the woman in front of her in her eyes.

She looked at Qin Ningyun as if looking at an ant she could kill at any moment.

It was a sort of contempt based on the absolute disparity in strength, which meant that Qin Ningyun wasn't even qualified to be her opponent.

"Cool down. In fact, Ningyun just…"

The person pleading for mercy was the woman named Yuhe.

Judging from their similar appearances and the anxiety on her face, Lin Mengya could tell that they should be biological sisters.

"What? If it weren't for my friend's presence today, wouldn't I have been killed by her? Do you think that your siblings are human, while the siblings of our Lin Family are just livestock that can be sacrificed easily?" Lin Mengya said with the most frightening expression she had shown since the moment she met Meng Ziqi.

She could coax the information out of Meng Ziqi, who was innocent, and she respected Gou An, who was righteous, a lot.

However, she only nursed a cold hatred for Qin Ningyun, who could not distinguish right from wrong and acted capriciously.

"No, Ningyun definitely doesn't mean that. Miss Lin, don't get her wrong."
