After the banquet, all the guests dispersed. Cai sent out all his wife and granddaughter, and then leaned against the Arhat bed and listened to the news that the nanny reported.

"The Mao couple went to Qingzhou Prefecture last winter and it is said that they recognized an eight- or nine-year-old girl as their goddaughter. The Wei family has never suffered from illness since they came back from Qingzhou Prefecture." These news from the nanny were naturally found out from the maid who followed Wei family to the Nanhou Mansion today.

"I just recognize my goddaughter and I will not get sick again? That child is not the biological daughter of Wei, right?" Cai felt a little incredible.

The nanny shook her head: "No! Judging from the maid's meaning, the girl born in the Mao family has a butterfly birthmark on her back, but the child in Qingzhou does not."

Cai Lili thoughts and frowned: "Since Wei can check his back, the child must be separated from his relatives. The eight- or nine-year-old girl looks very similar to me, Hongmei, do you think that child will be my sister Wan?"

The nanny had thought about this possibility, but according to the scene described by the nurse and the guard who were rescued later, a five-year-old child was thrown into the mountain stream from such a high place. Even if he was not drowned, he would be frozen to death. After all, it was in the north where the spring was cold. Is the third girl really still alive?

However, the nanny knew that such words should not be said from her mouth. Besides, the third girl's body has not been found so far, and no one dared to be sure whether the third girl was dead or not.

It is precisely because the third girl "has never seen anyone but died and cannot see the corpse", neither the Marquis, the wife nor the Second Master gave up looking, although the hope is getting slim.

Although Wei's words were somewhat plausible, since they were heard by Cai, they naturally had to inform the Marquis and Lin Wenbo, and they would have to send people to Qingzhou Prefecture to explore.

Lin Xiuwu, the Zhennan Hou, and Lin Wenbo, received the news. The father and son rushed to Mao Yanqiu's mansion overnight without saying a word and asked Mao Yanqiu about this matter.

Mao Yanqiu didn't hide it from it. After all, he had similar experiences to Lin Bowen. If the child in Qingzhou Prefecture was really Lin Bowen's daughter, it would be a merit. Maybe one day he could get the trace of Sister Xia from someone else's unintentional words.

"You said that child is Lin Wan?!" When Mao Yanqiu said the name Lin Wan, Lin Wenbo couldn't help but scream.

Lin Wenbo was really about to cry with joy.

Lin Wan's disappearance was a heavy blow to him and Luo's family, and it also caused a rift between them. Even if the originally loving couple was not strangers, they still respected each other as ice.

It’s a pity that Mao Yanqiu’s next words were like a basin of water in winter that made him cold to his bones: “The child is indeed called Lin Wan, and it is said that it is not the child’s original name.

But there is no way to know what the child's original name is and how old he is, because the child lost all his memories when he woke up from a coma.

The name Lin Wan was chosen by Master Huineng from Chongfu Temple for her. Just because Master Huineng discovered her in the woods by the Gaochuan River, she gave her surname Lin.

Although he was adopted by the Ye family later, he was not changed to the surname Ye because he was grateful to Master Huineng for saving his life, and he continued to use the surname Lin."

Lin Wenbo naturally did not give up and asked a lot of questions. However, after Mao Yanqiu discovered that Lin Wan was not Mao Yanxia, ​​even though Wei recognized Lin Wan as his goddaughter, he did not spend any effort to learn more, and there was not much information he could provide.

Lin Wenbo was a little discouraged because he failed to ask more things, but Lin Xiuwu felt it was necessary to send someone to investigate.

There are three reasons.

Qingzhou Prefecture is adjacent to Jizhou Prefecture. When he sent five-year-old Lin Wan to Jizhou to reunite with his parents and brothers, the place where the accident happened was actually in the mountains not far from Qingzhou Prefecture. The mountain stream that was thrown into was later found to be connected to Gaochuan River.

Although her actual age may be somewhat different because of the child's amnesia, it will not be too different. If their sister Wan is still there, she will be nine years old.

The day when the child, also named Lin Wan was discovered by Master Huineng, was only two days away from the day when Sister Wan disappeared.

With these three points, Lin Xiuwu felt it was worth sending someone to Qingzhou Prefecture, but hesitating for a while.

The easiest thing is to directly send a few useful subordinates to Qingzhou Prefecture to explore the situation first, but this is the most reliable and closest news in the past three years, and Lin Xiuwu is more inclined to go this trip himself.

However, now Zhennan Hou Mansion is in charge of the important task of garrisoning the capital. As Zhennan Hou, Lin Xiuwu, as Zhennan Hou, did not have the ability to leave the capital by leaving the capital.

After a night of consideration, Lin Xiuwu finally made up his mind.

The next day, the next military general Lin Xiu's son and daughter-in-law gathered in the main hall to announce his decision to everyone.

Lin Xiuwu's decision was too sudden and shocked his children and grandchildren.

Lin Wenjie, the eldest son of the soon-to-be, did not show joy. Instead, he frowned and looked at Lin Xiuwu and asked in confusion: "Dad is so tough, he can work for at least ten or eight years. Why do you let Jue be for me now?"

Although Lin Wenbo didn't speak, his face obviously disagrees.

The third son Lin Wenqing has never had any sense of existence. At this moment, he just glanced at Lin Xiuwu in surprise, then lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, but that glance also showed approval.

Even if everyone still lives in the Marquis' Mansion in the future, the father will be the Marquis and the elder brother will be the Marquis, which will have a much more impact on Lin Wenqing than Lin Wenbo.

After all, Lin Wenbo has the status of the top scholar and is a companion to the current emperor. Now he is a celebrity in front of the emperor. It is really not a big deal for Lin Wenbo.

Lin Wenqing is different. He was born in a vassal family, and he has been a little bit good since childhood, and he is not a good student. Now he is just relying on Yu Yin to be a small official from the sixth rank in the Ministry of Rites. Because his father is a marquis, he is a little stupid but never causes trouble. He is doing well in the Ministry of Rites.

But once Lin Xiuwu asked Jue to Lin Wenjie, Lin Wenqing's relaxed life would be over.

It’s not that Lin Xiuwu doesn’t pity this son, but he always gets old one day. It’s better to take advantage of his life and keep an eye on Lin Wenjie and help Lin Wenqing when Lin Wenqing is in trouble, so that Lin Wenqing can truly stand up. Maybe this is a good thing!

Thinking of this, Lin Xiuwu asked Jue to make a decision even more: "This matter is as I said. Tomorrow is the grand court meeting. I will hand in the meeting. Boss, be prepared for Cheng Jue."

When his eyes turned, he met Lin Hongfei's thoughtful gaze. Lin Xiuwu immediately took a new attention and asked Lin Hongfei casually: "When will Brother Fei report to Hanlin Academy?"

Lin Hongfei said respectfully: "When the emperor gave him a month and a half to return to his hometown to worship his ancestors, his grandson wanted to report to Hanlin Academy earlier, but..."

Lin Xiuwu interrupted Lin Hongfei with a big wave of his hand: "That's right, you pack up and follow me out to the capital in two days."

Except for a limited number of people who knew where Lin Xiuwu went out of the capital and why, most people found it inexplicable, including Lin Hongfei who was named. However, since Lin Xiuwu called out his name, he followed him, so he nodded and decided not to mention it.
