Daily life of the mistress

Chapter 174

Cheng Qi?
    This name sounds somewhat familiar.

    A flash of light suddenly came to Lu Lingjun's mind, and he thought of a name: Cheng Yunqi!

    "Your name is Cheng Qi, is it the Qilin?" Lu Lingjun asked.

    "right."

    It must be him!

    The adopted son of the Cheng family in the previous life!

    In the previous life, Cheng Yunshuo eloped with Xing Dairong, and the Cheng family fell into defeat. Later, it was heard that the Marquis' Mansion adopted a child from a side branch to inherit the title. When Lu Lingjun returned to the capital, the Marquis' Mansion was already headed by this adopted son.

    This adopted son was a prudent person. He took advantage of the power of the Marquis' Mansion and started out as a city guard. Later, he became a fourth-rank general in front of the emperor and was highly regarded. He maintained the last bit of reputation of the Marquis' Mansion and passed it on.

    The adopted son was called Cheng Yunqi.

    Lu Lingjun remained calm and asked in detail about Cheng Qi's family affairs.

    He learned that the border had suffered a great disaster and that the heavy snowstorm at the beginning of the year had affected their area. There had been several small wars on the border. His father was a guerrilla general commanding 500 people and had died in the battle. The area where his family lived had become a war zone. After a riot, all the land and family were gone. He and his sister were the only ones who survived the escape. Now that they could no longer make a living outside the border, the two of them traveled through mountains and rivers to seek refuge with their relatives in the capital.

    After hearing this, Lu Lingjun was absolutely certain that the Cheng Qi in front of him was the adopted son Cheng Yunqi.

    This is a promising descendant of the Cheng family. No wonder Marquis Qin took a fancy to him and adopted him as his son.

    However, in this life, Cheng Yunshuo did not elope, so he had no hope of becoming the adopted son of the Marquis's Mansion again.

    "We didn't even know that life was so difficult in our hometown." Lu Lingjun said after thinking for a long time.

    "Sister-in-law, we don't want to disturb you. It's not easy for you in the capital. If I were alone, I could still find a way to survive at the border, but my sister is young." Cheng Qi glanced at Cheng Hui, who was six or seven years old, and said, "If she follows me, she will definitely not survive, so I shamelessly ask you for help."

    Cheng Qi's generation is already very close relatives of the Cheng family.

    If you count carefully, they can only be considered as members of the same clan and tribe.

    They don't have any contact with each other in normal times, and even at the ancestral tomb, the Cheng family no longer buries the bodies together at the border, but instead holds a separate tomb in the capital, and they don't see each other at all.

    Therefore, it was inevitable that Cheng Qi, a man, would feel embarrassed to come to the door like this.

    "Uncle, you don't have to say that," Lu Lingjun said with a considerate smile, "We all have the surname Cheng, so we are a family. When a family is in trouble, of course we have to help each other. So, you guys stay here first, I'll go back and tell my parents-in-law, and when they come over, we'll make other arrangements."

    Hearing this, Cheng Qi looked at Lu Lingjun gratefully, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

    Cheng Hui also raised her curious eyes and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
