General's Mansion.

Ms. Wang has regained consciousness, but she feels extremely dizzy and nauseous.

This fall injured her neck and tailbone, and even the slightest movement would cause her to sweat profusely from the pain.

She insisted that she was murdered and demanded that her daughter and husband avenge her.

However, Ye Wantang ordered a thorough search of the mansion, but found no one had broken in, and there were no suspicious traces at the scene.

Several doctors were consulted, and they all said that Wang's qi and blood were disordered and her internal organs were damaged. She needed to rest well and should not overwork herself, but no one could explain the cause.

Wang was unwilling to give up and demanded to see another doctor.

In the middle of the night, Ye Zhengqing was annoyed by her antics.

She said irritably, "A perfectly healthy person, drinking this medicine today and soaking in that soup tomorrow, might ruin their life like this."

He was confident that although he had no martial arts skills, he couldn't possibly be completely unaware if someone entered his house.

Besides, there are guards all over the mansion, and they're not pushovers.

From his perspective, it looked exactly like Wang had stepped on a fallen bead and slipped and fell.

Wang was tormented by pain and irritable. Hearing him say that, she was so angry that she was practically fuming.

He complained to Ye Wantang, "When he heard that Ye Zhen had obtained the power to manage the household, he had other ideas. Now that he sees that I am too busy to deal with Ye Zhen, he is probably very happy."

He even dreamt that Ye Zhen helped him get promoted, Wan Tang, he doesn't care about us mothers...

He doesn't care about my daughter and me; he only cares about himself.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Ye Zhengqing quickly covered her mouth, "Have you lost your mind after the fall?"

Although the family of three had already recognized each other, it was all done in private.

There are quite a few people outside now.

Although Wan Tang is currently in charge of the General's Mansion, most people are loyal to her only because of Ye Jinghong.

If they were to find out about Wan Tang's background, wouldn't that cause a huge problem?

Ye Wantang's face also darkened. She said to Wang Shi, "I will investigate this matter. You should take good care of yourself first. There's no need to take action against the Xie family for now."

If Xie Jinyao can't even handle Ye Zhen, what face will she have to act arrogantly in front of me in the future?

As the daughter of the first female war goddess of the Great Abyss, she was the object of admiration for noble ladies in the capital since childhood.

Only Xie Jinyao from the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion always wanted to compete with her.

After Ye Jinghong died in battle, the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery was given an important position, and Xie Jinyao became even more determined to surpass her.

She did not stop Lady Wang and Lady Hou from joining forces earlier because she truly could not keep Ye Zhen any longer.

Ye Zhen was not worthy of dirtying her hands, so she let them go. She never expected that the Lady of the Marquis would be so useless.

But that's why Lady Hou and her daughter are even more eager to get rid of Ye Zhen; why would they need to be someone else's henchmen?

Her birth mother was a bit slow on the uptake.

Seeing that her daughter was unhappy, Wang dared not say anything more.

She still insisted, "Wantang, investigate again. I have a feeling that someone is trying to harm me."

"And could you please summon a few imperial physicians to take a look at me? I'm feeling terribly unwell."

She hadn't had enough of her good days yet, and she didn't want to die.

Ye Wantang gave a perfunctory reply, but she was already displeased.

Being able to invite one or two imperial physicians is already a great honor, but Madam Wang casually asks for several. Does she really think the General's Mansion is still like it was when Ye Jinghong was alive?

She cared about her birth mother, Wang, but only on the premise that Wang would not harm her interests.

The favors Ye Jinghong left behind are dwindling with each use. Her biological parents were not very capable, so she had to save them for her own future.

She didn't think it was selfish, because she knew that only when she was well could her parents be well.

Therefore, after leaving the house, she did not order anyone to fetch the imperial physician, but instead had someone thoroughly search the mansion to see if anyone had indeed infiltrated.

Seeing this, Xie Tingzhou turned and left.

His brow remained furrowed the entire way. The former First-Rank General's Mansion was heavily fortified, making it difficult even for him to sneak in unnoticed.

But tonight, he and Ye Zhen were free to come and go in the mansion without anyone noticing.

If General Ye knew this in the afterlife, I wonder what he would think.

And why did the Ye family couple actually intend to deal with Ye Zhen?

Ye Wantang was also involved. What's going on here?

Meanwhile, when Ye Zhen returned, Wan Xing pressed him down and applied medicine, then gave him a bowl of nourishing soup before he was able to go to bed.

Lying in bed, Ye Zhen couldn't fall asleep.

Holding a jade whistle, he was lost in thought.

The jade whistle was a gift from her mother before her death, along with a secret manual.

It was said to be a reward for her diligent study of martial arts, and someone was specially ordered to send it to the manor from the battlefield.

However, she was instructed not to divulge the secret unless absolutely necessary, and to burn it immediately after memorizing its contents.

She used the telepathic technique recorded in the secret manual to punish Wang today.

He channeled his internal energy to send the whistle into Wang's ears, damaging his internal organs.

Ye Zhen was unwilling to tell Xie Tingzhou, partly because her mother had instructed her to, and partly because she didn't want Xie Tingzhou to know too much about her background.

What makes someone unpredictable is what inspires fear.

Thinking of Xie Tingzhou, Ye Zhen's heart sank. This man also went to the General's Mansion tonight. Was it to follow her, or did he have other intentions?

With too much to think about, Ye Zhen decided not to sleep and instead meditated to cultivate his internal energy.

The next day, she had just finished breakfast when the palace physician arrived.

After examining the doctor, Ye Zhen saw her off and then went to the kitchen to cook a few dishes for Marquis Zhongyong as a token of his gratitude.

At the same time, I asked him if I could take Wanxing out for a trip to buy some things.

Marquis Zhongyong was somewhat surprised; why did he need the marquis's permission to just go out?

He then thought of Ye Zhen's past experiences in the Marquis's mansion, and feared that Madam Liu rarely allowed her to go out.

Her guilt towards Ye Zhen resurfaced, and she immediately said, "You are the young mistress of the Marquis's mansion, and in the future you will be in charge of the household. You are free to come and go as you please, so you don't need to come and ask for permission in the future."
