After being transformed into the cannon fodder of a villain, I counterattacked and became the protag

One day later, the rumor in the village changed to another version.

"what?"

This breaking news caused a cry of exclamation from everyone around, and the person who broke the news was very proud to see it.

"No, isn't this Qiu Qingquan a member of the Qiu family? How did he become the son of an official who was living abroad? Please tell me in detail."

"I'm not very clear about this. Anyway, that's what they said. Otherwise, why would the official be looking for him?"

"Do you think this could be true? I don't think Qiu Qingquan looks anything like the Qiu family."

As soon as these remarks came out, everyone was a little embarrassed. The Qiu family looked very ordinary, skinny and thin, but Qiu Qingquan was plump, plump and handsome. Among the Qiu family, he was like a shining pearl in the eyes of a fish. Bright.

Although no evidence was obtained, everyone's enthusiasm did not diminish and they continued to eat melon happily.

The news reached Yang Wanli, who was having breakfast. He smiled and asked the guard next to him, "Where do you think these rumors come from?"

Konoe replied respectfully: "I don't know."

"Since you don't know, let's go check it out and see if it's what I think."

"Yes."

The guards retreated, and Yang Wanli turned around and entered the Songfeng courtyard.

"Master Yang, you are such a rare visitor." Wang Zhi raised his head from the chessboard and glanced at the visitor.

"Come on." Yang Wanli didn't care about his rudeness and sat on the stone bench next to him.

Wang Zhi glanced at him and asked, "Master Yang didn't go back to the capital after supervising the college exams. Why did he come to this little corner of my house?"

"Look at what you said, I got along pretty well with the fourth master of the Wang family in Beijing, so you don't have to treat me like this, right?"

"I've always had this attitude towards you, but you still want to get in on me. Why don't you let others tell you if you're being mean?" Wang Zhi said with an indifferent attitude.

When he said this, Yang Wanli was not angry, "I came here to ask you a question, and I will leave after asking you."

"I refuse, why should I answer your question?"

"Then I have no choice but to bother you." Yang Wanli looked like he would not give up until he achieved his goal.

Wang Zhi looked impatient, "Then you ask, it's up to me to answer or not."

"I have always been curious about how the maid and the child escaped under heavy surveillance, but it would be different if there was help from the Wang family. Moreover, if you think about it carefully, the timing of your leaving the court was also very coincidental." Yang Wanli tightened his grip Staring at Wang Zhi's eyes, trying to see something in his eyes.

It's a pity that Wang Zhi remained calm as usual, "It's been so many years, Mr. Yang didn't pursue it sooner or later, but now you think about it?"

"I've been looking for it, but I can't find it." Yang Wanli said dejectedly.

"Why are you looking for him? Isn't it enough to know that he is alive and well?" Wang Zhi said: "Those people know that you have been looking for him. Do you think you have brought Little Tails behind you?"

Yang Wanli was shocked at first, and then said with a guilty conscience: "It's been so many years, it shouldn't be the case."

Wang Zhi snorted coldly and said nothing.

"Actually, I saw him in Xinghua Village that day. He looked so much like his father that I recognized him immediately." Yang Wanli said in a daze.

"Really?" Wang Zhi said in a longer tone, "So, what do you want to do?"

"Maybe you are right, I just felt that Qi Rong died unjustly..."

"You were close friends back then, but you felt guilty and couldn't avenge him, so you wanted to project this guilt onto that child?" Wang Zhi's eyes were like a torch, shining straight into Yang Wanli's heart.

Yang Wanli lowered his head and remained silent. "Go back. If you want to take him back, it may not be a good thing for him." Wang Zhidao said.

Wang Zhi was silent for a long time and said: "I know, I won't take him away. The Wang family is very powerful here in Qingzhou, so he has to rely on you here."

"I got it." Wang Zhi waved his hand, "It's okay, you should go back."

"I've come all the way here, and you don't even want to give me a cup of tea and you're going to drive me away?"

After Wang Zhi heard this, he glanced at him and called the boy to fetch the tea leaves he had treasured for a long time and make a pot of tea.

He stood up and poured a cup of tea for Yang Wanli himself, "This is the Junshan Silver Needle that I have treasured for many years. Normally I would be reluctant to drink it myself, but now it is easier for you."

"Really? That's really my honor." Yang Wanli picked it up, smelled it, and took a sip. The fragrance of tea overflowed, and the fragrance lingered on his lips and teeth.

"Okay, drink the tea, you can go." Wang Zhi said with a look of disgust.

Yang Wanli finished the drink in one gulp and bowed his hand towards Wang Zhi, "Then please leave the child to Brother Wang, I'm leaving."

"Let's go, let's go." Wang Zhi waved away people like mosquitoes. When Yang Wanli came to the door, he suddenly said, "When it comes to the last resort, just retreat. Save your life before talking about anything else."

Yang Wanli turned his back for a moment, and this time it was his turn to wave and leave gracefully.

As soon as Yang Wanli left, Qiu Qingquan hurried home, and the two missed it perfectly.

Qiu Qingquan was confused. Didn't he say that Mr. Yang had been looking for his friend's son for more than ten years? The stage has just been set up, why did the person leave? Could it be that the secret was exposed in the family?

The people in the village were also confused, but the rumor that Qiu Qingquan was the son of an official who was living abroad was self-evidently disproven. If this is true, then why didn't the official take Qiu Qingquan away?

Everyone speculated, and Qiu Qingquan responded with silence.

He didn't understand what happened during this period, and there would be rumors that he was Master Yang's illegitimate son.

Qiu Qingquan first went to the village chief's house to ask Zhang Jinxiu about the situation. After hearing what Zhang Jinxiu said, his heart sank. This was indeed his plan, but it was obviously mixed with other things.

Someone was involved, and they knew his plan.

Zhang Jinxiu was also a little frustrated. She had put so much thought into trying to convince her grandfather, but it ended up like this. She didn't even know what went wrong.

"No." Qiu Qingquan frowned and analyzed rationally: "There are two people here, one is ours, and the other is muddying the waters. It must be the other party's actions that have alerted Mr. Yang."

"Damn it! If I find out who is muddying the waters, I will definitely not let him go!"

Another thing didn't go well, and Zhang Jinxiu was furious. She wanted to be Qiu Lang's right-hand woman, but things kept happening now. What would Qiu Lang think of her then?

Will you feel useless?

"By the way, what are Zhang Jinyue and Gu Yuncheng doing during this time?" Qiu Qingquan hesitated before asking.

He was still a little uncomfortable talking about these two people, but his intuition told him that Zhang Jinyue was most likely responsible for what happened this time. If it was really Zhang Jinyue who did it... Qiu Qingquan couldn't figure out how they knew his plans and movements?

"Do you suspect that Zhang Jinyue and Gu Yuncheng are causing trouble?" Zhang Jinxiu asked.

"It's not suspicion, it's mainly because they are the only two people in the village who have serious personal grievances with us."

That is true.

"Zhang Jinyue has been running to town recently. I don't know what the specific reason is. Gu Yuncheng has been staying at home these days."

She didn't immediately suspect it because the two of them didn't seem to care about the matter.

Qiu Qingquan was silent. Could it be that he was really overthinking?
