Upon hearing this, Lu Yanzheng's heart stirred.

Is Qinqin thinking about him?

Meanwhile, Jiang Qinyu and Doctor Mo's carriage was entering the city.

"Hey, isn't that the general's wife sitting in that car? I saw her before."

"It's Madam, it's Madam! I've seen her before!"

"That's wonderful! Madam is here. Does this mean we're about to have another joyous occasion?"

"Absolutely! Madam is our lucky star..."

As the carriage passed through the street, Jiang Qinyu listened to the people's discussions and felt a rare blush creep up her face.

"Girl, you see, the people remember everything we've done!" Doctor Mo teased with a smile.

Jiang Qinyu smiled somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, I didn't do anything."

Only Lu Yanzheng knew what she did in secret; no one else knew. The people probably remembered her for the high-yield crops and cotton, right?

Although Lu Yanzheng took the blame for the origin of the cotton, she also hinted to her subordinates that the cotton actually came from her.

There are no secrets that stay hidden forever. Once the people below know, the common people will know more or less as well.

"You just don't take these things to heart. You deserve much more credit for the smallpox vaccine than I do. You have to admit that, right?" Doctor Mo smiled kindly.

Jiang Qinyu was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, then quickly waved her hand, "Mr. Mo, please don't flatter me. This is all thanks to you, how could I..."

"You silly girl, do you think I'm the kind of person who would steal credit?" Doctor Mo said sternly. "This whole thing was your idea from beginning to end. I only helped develop the prescription, but you were the one who reminded me of the most crucial part of the prescription. In this matter, I'm just an apprentice."

Jiang Qinyu was at a loss for words upon hearing this. After a moment of silence, she finally spoke up: "Old Mo, let's not talk about who deserves more credit for this matter. Let's get things done first, okay?"

To be honest, she didn't care that much about merit or not.

After all, once the smallpox vaccine is developed, corresponding workshops will emerge, allowing her to make money in the long run. Moreover, this vaccine can be passed on to future generations, meaning she has gained a huge advantage, and reputation becomes less important.

"Alright, I've figured it out now. You don't care about fame or fortune; you truly care about the people," Doctor Mo gave Jiang Qinyu a thumbs up. "I rarely admire anyone in this world, but you two are."

Jiang Qinyu dared not accept this. Her original intention was not for the benefit of other people. However, this misunderstanding was understandable. If it weren't for her not wanting herself or her loved ones to get smallpox in the future, this beneficial thing for the country and the people would not have happened.

As they were talking, they arrived at the General's Mansion.

Jiang Qinyu got out of the car with Shufan and Pan'er, and Uncle Chen rushed out in a hurry after hearing the news.

"Oh dear, Madam, why didn't you send word beforehand that you were coming? This old servant could have had the main courtyard thoroughly cleaned." Uncle Chen said with a happy smile as he helped carry the things.

Jiang Qinyu raised an eyebrow slightly. "Isn't the general in the manor? Is no one living in the main courtyard?"

Chen Bo's smile faltered, and he quickly said, "The general went back to his residence for half a day, and hasn't come back for the past few days. He's been staying at the army camp."

Oh no, could it be that Madam knows about the general's poisoning and injury?

Jiang Qinyu gave him a half-smile, said nothing, and led the two children inside, saying, "Master Mo, please stay at our residence for the next few days."

Doctor Mo waved his hand and laughed, "You are very comfortable living in your residence. If I hadn't been tied up with military duties, I would have wanted to live here every day."

Although it was a general's mansion, it lacked the various rules and regulations he had seen in the wealthy families of the capital, and there weren't as many women bothering him. Therefore, he really liked Lu Yanzheng's general's mansion.

The group was taken to the residence and settled in; this is not mentioned further.

Lu Yanzheng soon received news that Jiang Qinyu had arrived at the General's Mansion.

"Madam is here?" He suddenly stood up and walked out.

Eagle called from behind, "Hey, General, didn't you say you were going to train them personally this afternoon..."

"I won't be coming this afternoon. You train with Chen Zhun. I'll come to check on your training results tomorrow afternoon..." The voice faded into the distance, and soon Lu Yanzheng's figure could no longer be seen.

The eagle clicked its tongue twice, "No wonder he's a man with a wife!"

Hearing that his wife was coming, he ran faster than anything else. When will he be able to get married?

"Boss, are we still training this afternoon?" the soldier behind me asked with a chuckle, his face clearly saying, "Please don't train."

Eagle glared at him. "Train! How can we not train? Think about the difference between you and the general. If you don't train properly, will you ever be able to get married?"

The soldier: "..." No matter how hard they train, they can't have the skills of a general!

Besides... the general's appearance is not on the same level as theirs!

Meanwhile, Lu Yanzheng rushed back to the manor without even asking why Jiang Qinyu had come, and went straight to the bedroom in the main courtyard.

"Qinqin, why are you here? Why didn't you tell me..." Lu Yanzheng's words caught in his throat. Looking at the three people in the room, he didn't know whether to continue.

Jiang Qinyu feigned surprise as she looked at him, "The General is actually at the residence?" Then her expression suddenly changed, and she said coldly, "The General didn't tell me you were in the border town, how could I have informed you in advance?"

Lu Yanzheng choked, suddenly realizing that he hadn't sent a letter to Jiang Qinyu yet. "Qinqin, let me explain, I..."

"We've been traveling for two days and we're a bit tired, so we won't keep you company, General. Please don't disturb our rest either," Jiang Qinyu said calmly. Then she turned to Shufan and Pan'er and smiled, "Come on, let's go take a nap with your aunt. We'll have a barbecue and play games in the yard this afternoon."

"Yay! Pan'er has been wanting to eat Auntie's barbecue for so long!" Pan'er said with a smile, completely unaware that Lu Yanzheng was standing helplessly at the door.

Shu Fan glanced at Lu Yanzheng with sympathy, but his heart was with his aunt, even if that person was his uncle. "Then I'll go ask Grandpa Zhao to prepare some pine branches for us; they taste even better roasted..."

The three women, aunt and niece, went to the kang (a heated brick bed) hand in hand. Jiang Qinyu even lowered the curtain to block Lu Yanzheng's view.

Lu Yanzheng turned around and closed the door first, then walked a few steps in the same spot. He rubbed his face, walked to the edge of the bed, and cautiously began, "Wife, I know I was wrong, can you..."

"Uncle, we're very tired. Can you go out first?" Shu Fan's voice came from inside the curtain.

Lu Yanzheng's words caught in his throat again. He clenched his fists in anxiety, but dared not lift the curtain to see Jiang Qinyu's expression. He could only stand there and wait.
