Through Zhou Zheng's description, Ye Jintang gained some understanding of Ye Yucai.

"Miss, Jiang Yuan has woken up."

Green Lotus rushed over to report.

Ye Jintang gave a soft "hmm" and turned to head towards the house where Jiang Yuan was in the backyard.

inside the house.

Jiang Yuan had regained consciousness. When he saw Ye Jintang enter, he stood up and bowed respectfully to her, his face showing perhaps guilt.

"Miss, I'm sorry to have worried you."

"There's no need to say such things. Let's focus on getting better first."

Ye Jintang answered.

"Jiang Yuan, now you can tell me what you meant by the rescue you mentioned earlier. Could it be that something else has happened to my father?"

Even though Ye Yu told himself that Ye He was safe for the time being.

But Ye Jintang had a lingering doubt, especially since the divination results showed a mixed picture of good and bad fortune.

This further confirms that everything is not simple.

"The reason I left that day was because I received a note saying that there was news about the general and that I was not allowed to notify anyone."

Jiang Yuan recalled the situation at that time.

"When I arrived there, I did see General Ye. I couldn't believe it at the time and thought I was hallucinating. Just as I was trying to confirm, a cloud of black mist suddenly appeared."

"Black mist?" Ye Jintang hesitated, wondering if Jiang Yuan was referring to malevolent energy.

"The strangest thing is that the black mist could actually talk. General Ye was also taken away by the black mist, and I was only able to save my life thanks to the talisman you gave me earlier, Miss."

Green Lotus came in with Ye Jintang, and was shocked and incredulous when she heard Jiang Yuan's words.

"So you meant to go back here? But you collapsed in that alley because of your severe injuries."

Jiang Yuan nodded, which confirmed what Lü He had said.

Ye Jintang was somewhat disappointed.

Based solely on a wisp of black mist, she couldn't know the specifics, but since Ye He had been rescued by the Fifth Prince, he must be safe.

"Miss, is the general...?"

Jiang Yuan looked at Ye Jintang, his eyes filled with worry.

The woman before him was not only General Ye's only daughter, but during his recovery here, he also discovered that Ye Jintang possessed special abilities.

"While you were unconscious, the Fifth Prince came here looking for me."

Seeing Jiang Yuan's troubled expression, Ye Jintang simply answered, otherwise, given his temperament, who knows what he might do next.

"The Fifth Prince?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned, not understanding why Ye Jintang would bring this up out of the blue. He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Miss, is the Fifth Prince you mentioned related to General Ye's disappearance?"

Not only Jiang Yuan, but Green Lotus also looked over. The two of them stared at Ye Jintang, waiting for her next answer.

"He told me that he saved my father on his way back to Beijing."

"What?" Jiang Yuan was shocked, but then delighted.

"Miss, how is General Ye now?" Green Lotus asked immediately.

"The situation is probably more serious than Jiang Yuan's, but the Fifth Prince also told me that he has invited many famous doctors to treat him."

"There is no problem now."

After saying this, Ye Jintang's gaze fell on Jiang Yuan again, and her tone became more serious.

"Jiang Yuan, the reason I'm telling you all this today is simply to let you know that Father is safe for the time being."

"And I am also searching for my father's whereabouts. Before you act, you must consider whether you have the ability to handle these matters. I don't want to end up cleaning up the mess."

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Jiang Yuan felt deeply ashamed after hearing this.

"Miss Huanqing, rest assured, I will never act on my own again in the future."

"Mm." Ye Jintang nodded and didn't say anything more.

"You should focus on recovering. I'll handle things with Father."

After leaving his message, Ye Jintang turned and left, with Lühe following closely behind.

"Miss, I have another question to ask."

After leaving the courtyard, Lühe followed Ye Jintang into the hall.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jintang's gaze fell on Lühe, and she said, "Just ask me whatever you want."

"Miss, did you know that Fifth Prince before?"

Ye Jintang raised an eyebrow slightly.

Why do you ask that?

"The Fifth Prince is, after all, a prince in the palace. The charges against the General have not yet been completely cleared. If he knew the General's whereabouts and even came here to tell you, Miss, without knowing him or having any relationship with him, I'm afraid he has ulterior motives."

Ye Jintang lowered her eyes; she had considered Lühe's concerns.

But right now...

Meeting Green Lotus's worried eyes, Ye Jintang smiled, her tone carrying a hint of reassurance.

"Green Lotus, I know you're worried about my safety, but don't forget that your young lady is not someone to be trifled with either. I'll be on my guard in this matter."

"Um!"

At the same time, Cui'er was also sent back to the Marquis's residence by the people from the Minister's Mansion.

"Second...Second Madam, how come your face is all better?"

Cui'er stared in shock at Su Xuerou's transformation. How could such a deep wound heal in such a short time?

Su Xuerou's face darkened. "What, you're not happy for me now that my face is better?"

"Cui'er, don't tell me you've been staying at the Minister's residence all this time?"

Su Xuerou suddenly grabbed Cui'er by the neck and said fiercely.

"Or are you going to betray me like everyone else?"

Cui'er, who was being choked by Su Xuerou and could hardly breathe, tried to struggle.

"Second...Second Madam, this...this servant...dares not..."

"snort!"

Su Xuerou suddenly released Cui'er and pushed her backward forcefully.

Cui'er lost her balance and fell directly to the ground.

"You better do that, Cui'er. If I find out you dare to betray me, I will never let you off the hook."

"It's even worse than death!"

Cui'er was frightened by the ferocious expression on Su Xuerou's face and answered tremblingly, "I...I'm sure you can rest assured, Second Madam, this servant would never dare to do that."

"Now that you've returned from the Minister's residence, quickly tell me what the current situation is there."

She needs to understand the current situation as soon as possible in order to gain the upper hand.

"Second Madam, while you were unconscious, the Minister's wife found the location of the cabin. It was she who abandoned you outside the Marquis's mansion. As for me, she took me back and locked me up. It was only after the Master found out about this that he released me."

"After escaping, I returned immediately. As for the situation in the Minister's mansion, I have no idea."

As Cui'er spoke, she carefully observed Su Xuerou's expression.

I don't know if she believed what she said.

In other words, you haven't gained anything from these things!

Su Xuerou looked at this with disgust and scolded her fiercely, "You really are a useless piece of trash."

Cui'er lowered her head, her eyes filled with resentment.

"Second Madam. However, I seem to have heard from others that the Eldest Miss said she would not let this matter rest."
