She herself didn't know how much of what she said was out of spite, but it was indeed her true thought. She didn't want to find a partner anymore. Once her family was safe and sound, she didn't want to pay any attention to the scheming female lead. She just wanted to live out the rest of her life in peace and take good care of her lovely granddaughter.

At this moment, after hearing her words, Wang Yan's face turned extremely ugly, dark and ashen. Anger spread in his heart, but he could not vent it. He could only clench his fists, furious.

"Okay...you said it!"

After saying that, Wang Yan turned and strode away, completely forgetting that he was supposed to discuss the battle situation with Deputy General Zhang.

Qin Qing was startled by his furious expression. What had she said wrong?

Deputy General Zhang stood aside, watching this scene in astonishment. His general was always composed, dignified, cold, strict, decisive, and ruthless.

It's quite rare to see someone so angry this time!

Then, he looked at Qin Qing, who was terrified and disappointed. It seemed that neither of them knew what the other was thinking!

Well, he should mind his own business.

Qin Qing was also somewhat at a loss; this reaction... was not what she had expected!

She shook her head. Anyway, she had no guilty conscience. This jerk was unreliable. Last time, he almost ruined her.

She stepped out of the tent and saw An Ziyun running excitedly towards her from afar. Looking up, Qin Qing sighed.

Sigh, I guess I'm getting old! I'm not as energetic as young people anymore!

"Auntie, the dysentery is completely cured! Deputy General Huang's body is almost entirely free of poison; that method of inducing vomiting was incredibly effective! May I ask which school you studied under? Your techniques are unlike anything I've ever heard of! I have a few more questions..."

Seeing his reaction, Qin Qing smiled, feeling slightly guilty.

"No, it's all thanks to my late father. As a village doctor, I often encountered villagers accidentally eating poisonous mushrooms, and I learned it over time. Haha... I have to go now!"

Pshaw! Why is this brat so curious? If he keeps asking, she won't know how to make up a story!

An Ziyun quickened her pace, but still relentlessly pursued him, pulling at his hand. The two seemed to have a special relationship.

All of this was witnessed by a certain man…

His usually serious face gradually turned ugly, his cold eyes narrowed slightly, his aura was intimidating, and anger surged in his heart, tinged with a hint of sourness, but he did not make any move for a long time.

An Ziyun was talking incessantly, his eyes full of curiosity, when suddenly he felt a chill run down his spine. A sense of crisis made his hair stand on end, and he tensed up, looking around nervously.

But he didn't see anyone around. He scratched his head, wondering if he was overthinking things. Noticing that Qin Qing quickened his pace, he quickly caught up with him, putting his previous thoughts out of his mind.

Only after the two figures disappeared did Wang Yan calm down slightly. His tall body remained motionless, his aura became restrained, and his lowered eyebrows revealed no joy, anger, sorrow, or happiness. Thinking of what Qin Shi had said earlier, his body gradually stiffened.

As Deputy General Zhang was about to go out to find General Wang Yan, he felt a chill as soon as he stepped out of the tent and immediately saw the man standing in the shadows.

"General? Is it for the Qin family..."

He was about to offer some words of advice to his general when Wang Yan suddenly looked up and glared at him, his clear, weak voice slightly hoarse.

"From now on, don't mention the Qin family again! She's right, it's just a misunderstanding!"

Deputy General Zhang opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed his thoughts. His first love was buried because of their stubbornness. Perhaps Qin was not suitable for the general!

He then snapped out of his reverie, braced himself, and repeated what Qin Qing had just said!

When military intelligence was mentioned, Wang Yan suddenly focused his gaze, his demeanor becoming imposing.

"She really said that? If that's the case, tomorrow might be the final battle..."

Seeing his general, who had just been heartbroken, instantly return to normal, Deputy General Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness! Thank goodness!

That night, Qin Qing used the excuse of checking the physical condition of the vanguard battalion to walk among a group of soldiers.

After circling around, she was exhausted and still hadn't seen her eldest son. Just when she was starting to doubt whether what she had heard yesterday was really true, a familiar voice came to her ears.

She turned her head in surprise, and not far away... a man with his back to her was talking to the captain of the vanguard battalion.

A sense of crisis washed over her. She clearly remembered that it was this very voice that had urged her eldest son to release the poison last night, and now that person was still in the military camp? And even talking to the vanguard battalion commander…

Qin Qing pretended to be tired and sat to the side, but in reality, she was eavesdropping on the conversation between the two.

"Thank you, Captain. It was really due to my own fault. I'll have to trouble you then!"

The vanguard battalion commander was a burly man with broad shoulders and a thick waist. He laughed heartily.

"Oh...you're pretty unlucky too. Tomorrow's battle is a great opportunity to make a name for yourself. If you're not feeling well, just find someone else."

Qin Qing began to think. Since he had already encouraged Mu Shen to release the poison, that person didn't need to go to the battlefield. He only needed to wait for the news of Wang Yan's death, and he could get rid of suspicion. Once Mu Shen was discovered, he would be killed on the spot. That person would kill two birds with one stone and have no worries at all!

That was a brilliant move! This is probably where the saying "dying on the battlefield" comes from! After all, spies in the army are generally not made public to avoid destabilizing the army.

Thinking this, she prepared to get up, but when she looked up, she saw a strange face staring straight at her. Startled, she fell back to the ground, silently chanting "Calm down!" A stiff smile forced a smile onto her face…

Perhaps because it was only the light of the fire in the darkness, and there were soldiers all around, the man didn't think much of it and just gave a fake smile.

"You must be Aunt Qin, the legendary doctor in the army! I've heard so much about you! May I ask what brings you here, Aunt Qin? I didn't mean to frighten you!"

Qin Qing nodded quickly.

"It's nothing, I just came out for a walk. As for being a military doctor, it's just that people look up to me. It's getting late, I should go back now. Sigh... getting old makes you tired easily."

As she spoke, she stood up as if she didn't care, and just as she was about to leave, the man suddenly grabbed her shoulder with a strong and forceful grip, making her wince in pain.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I just saw there were pebbles on the ground and I was worried you might slip and fall!"

The man looked apologetic, his eyes dark and unfathomable. Qin Qing stiffly turned her head and could only shake her head, saying it was okay but cursing inwardly!

Qin Qing dodged the pebbles and quickened her pace to leave, her gaze following closely behind, as sticky and disgusting as leeches, accompanied by a hint of danger.

The man frowned slightly as he watched Qin Qing's retreating figure, muttering to himself.

"The Qin family? They seem somewhat familiar..."
