Shen Yutang asked anxiously, "Is General Du here? I want to see him."

"This... Commander, you should go back and not make things difficult for us. It was General Du who instructed that no one is allowed to enter."

The two guards replied.

Shen Yutang stood anxiously outside the tent, knowing that the girl must be inside.

He pondered to himself that if he barged in directly, it would probably cause unnecessary trouble, but he couldn't just wait here idly.

"Please inform him, brothers, that I have urgent business with him."

Seeing his urgency, the two guards guessed that something might have happened.

This was no small matter, and they dared not delay.

"Chief, please wait here while I go in and report."

At this moment, Shen Danru was about to feed her grandfather medicine.

There was still some medicine left from the last time Shen Shi was given, and Shen Danru asked the military doctor to help her grandfather drink it.

Uncle Shui stepped forward to stop her, asking, "Miss, what did you give the general to drink?"

Shen Danru raised her cold eyes, stared at Shui Bo, and asked, word by word, "Does Shui Bo not want me to wake up my grandfather?"

Shui Bo panicked and hurriedly said, "No, no, I'm just worried, can this really wake the general up?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Uncle Shui. Do you think I would poison my grandfather?"

Shen Danru emphasized the word "poisoning" heavily, as if she wanted to skin Uncle Shui alive.

However, this is not a good time to settle scores with him.

Even if we arrest him, so what? He'll deny it to the death. Eventually, my grandfather will soften his heart and have to let him go.

She wanted to find out what happened back then, why her grandmother died a violent death for no reason, and why her father ended up in a foreign land.

She believed she could find clues from Uncle Shui.

When Uncle Shui heard the word 'poisoning', a hint of panic flashed in his eyes, but Shen Danru still caught it.

"No, that's not what I meant. I've served the general since I was a child, and I will certainly do my best to ensure his safety. I hope you can understand my heart for the general."

Shen Danru sneered inwardly.

They tried to use their childhood bond and status with her grandfather to suppress her, but she wouldn't listen.

He was nothing more than a servant in the Duke's mansion.

The military doctor said, "Uncle Shui, don't worry. Miss Shen used this medicine to revive the old general last time. I have checked it, and the medicine is safe. It is a tonic. The old general fainted because he was too weak, and this medicine is indeed the right one for him."

Upon hearing the army doctor's words, Water Lord had no further reason to stop him and stepped aside.

After feeding her the medicine, Shen Danru thought to herself that she wouldn't be leaving for the next few days.

She stayed in the military camp to take care of her grandfather, and all his meals passed through her hands before being given to him, in order to prevent anyone from poisoning him again.

If her grandfather were to be poisoned again, his body would have already been damaged multiple times, and even she couldn't guarantee that he would fully recover.

She never expected that, despite having personally prepared the meals and sent them to the military camp, her grandfather had still been drugged.

The person who administered the drug must have been someone close to my grandfather, otherwise my grandfather would not have been so unguarded.

Shui Bo is the prime suspect.

Just then, a guard announced from outside: "General Du, the centurion is outside requesting an audience."

Du Huan said across the tent, "How dare you! Don't you know where you are? If there's no urgent military situation, let him go back first."

There were several centurions in the camp, but the guards didn't specify which one it was, and he didn't bother to see them.

Besides, when General Shen was unconscious, he knew what was important and what was urgent, and he had to stay with the old general until he woke up.

"Commander, you should go back. General Du must have something important to discuss with you, that's why he won't see you."

The guards advised him.

Shen Yutang was anxious when he saw that Du Huan was not there. He did not dare to rush into the old general's tent, so he could only wait outside.

After waiting for a long time, the girl still didn't come out.

Finally unable to resist, he ignored the guards' attempts to stop him and barged in.

He stepped into the tent, not daring to raise his head, and knelt down directly: "General, this young lady does not understand military regulations, please forgive her this time."

Two guards followed closely behind, but when they failed to stop Shen Yutang, they also knelt on the ground.

All eyes were on them.

This Shen Yutang is incredibly audacious.

The matter of General Shen's fainting was kept secret and only a few high-ranking generals knew about it. Once the news got out, the enemy might launch a sudden attack on the city, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

If his reckless intrusion were to lead to the discovery of General Shen's fainting, could he bear the responsibility?

Sensing the gazes of the crowd, Shen Yutang slowly raised his head and saw Shen Danru attending to the old general at his bedside, which aroused his suspicion.

Deputy General Wang had long harbored resentment towards Shen Yutang. He had tried to win Shen Yutang over, but Shen Yutang politely declined.

But he didn't expect that Shen Yutang had a close relationship with Du Huan in secret, and that Du Huan was a confidant of General Shen.

Therefore, he once wanted to get rid of Shen Yutang.

"Shen Yutang, how dare you, a centurion, trespass into the old general's tent? You have violated military regulations. Do you know your crime?"

Deputy General Wang questioned him sternly.

Du Huan was startled when he saw that it was Shen Yutang.

He suddenly realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward to reply:

"Reporting to Vice General Wang, he has come to see me."

Du Huan desperately tried to signal to Shen Yutang with his eyes.

Deputy General Wang gave Du Huan a sharp look, snorted, and said:

"Du Huan, don't think you can do whatever you want just because you're a veteran general. Shen Yutang has violated military regulations. Are you trying to protect him?"

Shen Danru also heard the name 'Shen Yutang' and turned around abruptly.

Shen Yutang? Is that my second brother?

She looked at Shen Yutang and tried calling out, "Second Brother."

Shen Yutang's mind was entirely on Shen Danru. As long as this girl was alright, he would rather let military law deal with him.

When Shen Danru suddenly called him "Second Brother," he asked, bewildered, "Miss, what did you call me?"

Du Huan was also taken aback, and he suddenly realized his foolishness.

Yes, Shen Yutang is the old general's grandson. Isn't it perfectly reasonable for him to barge into the camp to visit his grandfather?

What is he still worried about?

He had been so focused on General Shen's situation that he almost forgot about this matter.

I originally thought Shen Yutang would be back in a few days, but I didn't expect him to come back early.

Shen Danru looked at Du Huan and saw him nod, only then did she realize that she and her second brother had met before.

She also accidentally saved her second brother, but unfortunately she didn't ask his name at the time and missed the chance to recognize him.

If she had known earlier that this person was her second brother, she would have kept him at the estate to recover from his injuries no matter what.

Thinking back to how she directly drove her second brother away, she wondered if he resented her.

Shen Danru stepped forward and examined Shen Yutang, noticing that his injuries had likely fully healed.

"Second brother, I am Shen Danru, your second sister."
