"Yes! Let's give it our all!"

The other subordinates echoed his sentiments.

In an instant, everyone became extremely excited.

Shen Yunting raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down.

After calming them down, Shen Yunting spoke again: "It's normal for emperors to be suspicious, but I'm worried about Jingyun and her son. Now that the General's Mansion is under everyone's watchful eye, she has to be extremely careful."

The thought of his wife, who was incredibly resourceful and unmatched on the battlefield, being bullied by a group of women made Shen Yunting wish he could fly back to Qu Jingyun's side right now and be her protector.

Seeing the worry in his eyes, Ge Ye burst out laughing.

Shen Yunting then gave him a cold look.

Kuzuno immediately raised his hands in surrender.

Zhu Cungen returned early the next morning.

Zhu Cungen could hardly hide his excitement; his usually honest face had changed.

"Sir, you were right. There are quite a few sentries watching over this village. Such caution is not typical of ordinary bandits. The people above must be the enemy's stronghold!"

Upon hearing this, Ge Ye slammed his hand on the table.

He said in a suppressed voice, "Damn it, we've finally found these bastards. After we deal with these remnants of the previous dynasty, the emperor won't think our general is planning a rebellion, will he?"

Shen Yunting ignored their conversation, calmly finished his breakfast, and then went back to his room to write a letter to Qu Jingyun.

He wanted to tell Qu Jingyun this good news as soon as possible.

Three days later.

Half a month later, Qu Jingyun received a message from Shen Yunting, and instantly felt that the burden on her shoulders had been greatly reduced.

Qu Jingyun secretly showed the letter to the old lady.

After reading it, the old lady held the letter and burst into tears.

“My son, he has really suffered.”

Qu Jingyun gently wiped away the old lady's tears.

"Can I relax now?"

The old lady raised her head, gave her a resentful look, and then blamed everything on her.

"It was your fault to begin with. You kept the news of Yun Ting from me. If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have had to send servants to look for you."

"Madam," Qu Jingyun said speechlessly, "Now you don't like me and wish you could kill me. We don't get along, understand?"

The old lady nodded perfunctorily.

"I understand, you just want to listen to Qi Yun'er make things difficult for you, but she's even more stupid than I was back then. If it were me, I would have controlled your two sons long ago."

After saying that, the old lady sighed again.

How could such an idiot want to seize the General's Mansion?

I don't know how she dared to have such a thought.

Seeing that the old lady did not take Qi Yun'er seriously, Qu Jingyun was unsure whether to cry or laugh.

Looking at her still youthful face, the old lady suddenly frowned.

“Mrs. Qu, don’t forget that you are my son Yunting’s wife. You can’t take advantage of your youth to cuckold my son.”

"Mother," Qu Jingyun called out to her speechlessly, "Can't you be a little more dignified and composed?"

The old lady let out another soft scoff.

"When I said those things about you back then, what did you say in return?"

She then waved her hand impatiently.

"Alright, I've got the information I wanted. This is none of your business. You can leave now."

Qu Jingyun obediently got up and bid farewell to the old lady.

As soon as they stepped out of the side courtyard where the old lady lived, Xiao Liu rushed forward in a panic.

"Madam, the master requests your return."

Qu Jingyun frowned. "My father has gone to the capital?"

Xiao Liu nodded, "They said they were going to the capital to report on their duties, but this servant feels it's not that simple, and Lady Qi went back early."

A thoughtful look flashed in her eyes.

Could this matter also be related to Qi Yun'er?

Are there people associated with Lin Qingping in the palace?

Unable to figure it out, Qu Jingyun had no choice but to go back to the Qu family home first.

The Qu family.

As soon as Qu Jingyun entered, she heard Grandpa Qu's hearty laughter.

"Our Yun'er is really good at telling jokes. I almost couldn't hold back my laughter when I heard this joke."

Qi Yun'er laughed sweetly again.

"Uncle, please don't flatter me. I'm just telling you what I've seen. If you want to tell funny jokes, my cousin is the best. When she comes back, let her tell you the jokes."

After saying that, Qi Yun'er exclaimed in surprise again.

"Strange, doesn't my cousin know that my uncle is back? Why hasn't she come to see him yet?"

Qu Jingyun smiled enigmatically.

Trying to sow discord again?

She doesn't even realize how easily her father can be so easily manipulated.

The old man snorted coldly.

“That girl disappeared for five years, and all she does when she comes back is bully my grandson. How dare she come back?”

This attitude...

Thinking about her son's attitude towards her, Qu Jingyun felt relieved.

She walked inside with a cold expression.

"That's really unfortunate. Not only do I have the nerve to come back, but I also have the right to come back with a clear conscience."

Upon hearing Qu Jingyun's voice, the old man was slightly taken aback, and then looked at Qu Jingyun with surprise.

Then his expression became complicated.

"you……"

She smiled at the old man and went straight to sit down to the side.

Seeing everyone staring at him, his brows and eyes were filled with dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Qu Jingyun laughed.

She fiddled with her hair, saying dismissively, "Why are you all staring at me like that? Is there something dirty on my face?"

The old man snorted coldly.

"How dare you come back? I thought you had forgotten you even had a family."

Seeing how angry he was, Qu Jingyun calmly picked up her teacup and took a sip.

She looked up at the housekeeper again.

"This tea is a bit bitter. Remember to bring back some good tea next time my dad comes back."

"Qu Jingyun!"
