Chapter 439 Qin Jia Starts Acting Up Again (5)
Over there, Ruan Xue and Gu Tingting, two walking disasters, were entangled in a heated argument, while on the other side, An Yiqing and Tang Lin quietly stood in a corner.
"Tang Lin, what’s wrong with you?" An Yiqing was bewildered by Tang Lin’s sudden dragging of her over, and was still completely confused.
"Xiao Qing, have these past few months been alright for you? Has the An Family treated you well? Have you suffered any grievances? And... does General Gu cherish you?" Tang Lin hemmed and hawed over the last question for quite some time before finally managing to ask it with difficulty.
Hearing the deep concern and worry in the boy’s questions, An Yiqing smiled brightly and gently said, "My family is all very good to me, and Ah Lin is also very good to me. Don’t worry, I’m not someone who lets myself be wronged."
After hearing the girl’s words, Tang Lin couldn’t help but let out a sigh of relief. He understood An Yiqing’s character; if the An Family weren’t truly good to her, then even with deep familial ties, she would walk away.
Her principles in life were just like her clear eyes: gentle yet strong. Whoever was good to her, she would always remember clearly.

An Yiqing was taken aback by Tang Lin’s words. Enter the civil service? Hadn’t Tang Lin always hated the hypocrisy of officialdom?
