"If it weren't for my deliberate planning, how could things have turned out so well?"

One sentence after another seemed to move the lotus flower.

Thinking about it carefully, the fact that both Miss and Mother are still alive and well is indeed a good thing.

She wavered and gradually began to believe Yue Qiao'e's words.

Yue Qiao'e saw through her thoughts and added fuel to the fire, "Hehua, think about it carefully. With Miss's exceptional beauty and talent, who would have the heart to kill her? Even if she were a spy, the Xie family army would not kill such a weak woman."

"So sending her to the military camp wasn't to harm her, but to save her."

Yue Qiao'e became more and more serious as she spoke.

She herself was almost starting to believe this story.

Lotus, under her influence, completely believed this explanation.

She let out a long sigh, tears streaming down her face. "I knew it, Mother isn't such a wicked person. You have your reasons, so what are you worried about? If you just say those words to Miss and the General again, they will definitely forgive you."

As Lotus spoke, she tried to pull Yue Qiao'e outside.

But Yue Qiao'e, who was sitting in the chair, pulled her back with her hand.

"No rush." ​​Yue Qiao'e forced a smile. "Of course I will tell you the truth. But before that, there is something else I want to ask you."

Hearing that her mother had relented, Lotus looked much more relaxed.

"What's up?"

Yue Qiao'e concealed the shrewdness and calculation in her eyes and asked softly:

"I heard that Gu Zan, the head of the Gu family, once led about ten people from the Gu family to the main hall of the palace. In front of all the ministers, he made the men of the Gu family take off their shirts on the spot because they did not have tattoos on their backs, in order to prove that they were not from the Southern Lin Kingdom... Is that true?"

Lotus didn't think twice and nodded directly, "It's true, everyone knows about it, I was in the palace at the time."

Yue Qiao'e stood up excitedly, "Are their tattoos really gone? What about yours? Can't we see them either?"

Lotus helped Yue Qiao'e sit down and said, "My tattoo is still there, and the tattoos on the women of the Gu family are still there, only those men removed them."

"You got rid of it? How did you do that?"

Lotus smiled mysteriously: "It's medicine given by Miss, and it's very effective."
