Chapter 12 Fourth Brother...

Watching the old lady leave, the brother and sister looked at each other and smiled.

Lingxi burst out laughing.

No matter when, she was always happy when she saw the old lady facing Pei Fuzhu.

Pei Xuan was relieved when he saw Lingxi was in a stable mood. He thought over what he wanted to say and then said, "Don't be afraid. Your marriage needs your approval.

We won't let you get married easily.

Dad and my uncle have said long ago that even if you want to get married, you have to be willing to do so. Getting married should be something that makes you happy, not something that forces you to get married because of some messy things.

Pei Bok Joo doesn't have the ability to interfere in your marriage."

Lingxi was stunned, then smiled: "I knew you guys were the best to me."

Pei Xuan thought about it and decided to tell him about what happened in his family in the past.

"You don't need to worry about Uncle San to tolerate Pei Fuzhu."

Seeing Lingxi looking at him in surprise, he paused and continued: "When you were still young, there were some things you didn't know. My family was also a wealthy family thirty years ago.

Uncle San is not grandma’s biological daughter.

He is the accidental child of my grandfather and someone else.

Back then, he was nearly strangled to death by his own mother. At the critical moment, it was your father who arrived, rescued him, and brought him back home.

Later, my grandfather passed away, and my grandmother raised him as her own son."

Lingxi opened her eyes wide in shock.

Pei Xuan nodded: "This is all old news. It was unnecessary not to tell you before. I'm telling you now because I want you to know that it's right for Third Uncle to treat you well.

You don't owe him anything.

You don't have to tolerate your uncle's offspring just because he's been good to you.

Even if you want to get married, it's because you want to, not because Pei Fuzhu wants you to get married."

There are actually many people in the family who firmly believe in Pei Fuzhu's so-called identity as God's biological daughter, such as Lingxi, the old lady, and Pei Fuzhu's biological mother.

But this definitely does not include Uncle Pei and his three brothers Pei Xuan.

However, Pei Xuan couldn't explain clearly the skills like summoning divine thunder on a clear day.

Therefore, they just let Pei Fuzhu do whatever she wanted, and as long as it didn't bother them, they pretended not to see it.

But this time, she really passed!

The Ling people are a race blessed by God, and Lingxi is the only surviving member of the Ling people.

The good fortune of tens of millions of years of the ancient spirit race is bestowed upon her alone. Naturally, her wishes will come true, her luck will be beyond measure, and she will be able to turn danger into safety and turn disaster into good fortune when encountering any problem.

It’s just that Lingxi is timid and always likes to keep a low profile.

For her, the worst that can happen is that she gets married, right!

Who would have thought that I would hear such a secret.

Lingxi was in a daze and tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep. She finally understood why the old lady was obviously partial to her and Uncle Pei's family. Uncle Pei and even Aunt Pei never had any objections and were even particularly filial.

As for Aunt Pei San who complained to Pei Fuzhu from time to time...

It can only be said that Pei Bok Joo is special, she has never felt wronged for her son Pei Fu Rui!

I don’t know if it was because of this information that stimulated me, but even though Lingxi fell asleep in a daze, her sleep was very restless.

Blurred, she saw mountains, she saw the ancient palace built on the top of the mountain, she saw herself sitting beside a jade bed, and there was a soundless person lying on the bed.

She watched the floating catkins outside the window, the falling flowers outside the window, and the falling snow outside the window. Year after year, she just kept guarding this person.

She seemed to hear her soft call.

"Fourth brother."

Lingxi sat up suddenly, and the name she murmured overlapped with the voice in her memory. She covered her forehead, and it seemed that something was rumbling in her mind, frame by frame, so fast that she could hardly catch it.

Magic City, Railway Station, Gu Mansion...

There was a loud rumble of artillery fire.

Fourth brother suddenly fell into a coma.

The images in her mind were sporadic.

The last scene was of her and another man who looked very much like her and was probably her father, taking her unconscious fourth brother into the mountains, where they found a palace complex and settled down.

She curled up in the quilt, breathing deeply, tears falling from her eyes.

She didn't know where this memory came from, perhaps it was a characteristic of the elves' souls.

The spirits of the elves are immortal, but the memories engraved within them are likely to be forgotten.

Maybe……

Because of some stimulation, she remembered it again.

Lingxi propped herself up and slowly sat up against the headboard. She took two deep breaths and it took her a long time to calm down.

Fourth Brother...

She silently took out a pen and paper, and in the light from the dawn outside the window, Lingxi began to trace the timeline bit by bit.

It is now 1957. The explosion of Gu Mansion was probably between 1937 and 1945. At that time, the R army often appeared in Demon City. In other words, there was a gap of twelve to twenty years in between.

That fourth brother is probably still alive now!
As for the possibility that her fourth brother might be in other similar planes... Lingxi didn't dare to think in that direction at all.

Lingxi thought about the fragmentary fragments of the person lying soundlessly on the bed, covering her chest, and staring at the rooftop in a daze.

At the same time, Gu Si, who had returned to the old Gu family, suddenly woke up from his sleep.

In his daze, he seemed to hear the voice of "Fourth Brother".

That voice...

She is so delicate and soft, pitiful and aggrieved.

Gu Si thought of the girl he saw during the day and realized that his heart was beating uncontrollably again.

He cursed in his heart.

Gu Si was originally an itinerant interstellar merchant. While traveling through the stars, his spaceship was accidentally sucked into a black hole. When he woke up, he arrived on his current planet.

He has a long life, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years have passed on this planet. He is accustomed to birth and death, and all kinds of life. He is not willing to take the initiative to participate in the lives of others.

But at this time...

He raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

Gu Si forgot for a moment that he was just reborn in the body of Gu Qingbei, the fourth son of the Gu family, and that he would also experience birth, aging, sickness and death.

But even so, his usual persistence was challenged this time, and he hesitated for the first time because of the little girl.
-
Lingxi was uneasy for several days because of the memory that suddenly appeared in her soul. Uncle Pei and Brother Pei, who had already learned the truth about Lingxi's fainting from Pei Xuan, thought that Lingxi was troubled by that incident, and took turns to comfort and enlighten her.

He told her not to worry and that he would not marry her off easily, and that she could just not marry if she was not happy about it.

Lingxi was immersed in the confused, empty and helpless mood in her memories, and she couldn't break free for a while.

When she came to her senses, she realized that she had scared them these days.

Lingxi quickly calmed down her emotions and earnestly assured them that she would not have any wrong thoughts or get upset. Only then did they feel relieved and allowed Lingxi to go out into the woods.

Things have their priorities. Lingxi wanted to go look for someone, but she knew very well that she didn't have the capital or confidence to do anything about it.

Not to mention——

That mountain, that hall, she had no idea where in the mountains they were located.

The country is so big and there are so many mountains. Where can she find it?
