"By the way, ask that Vice General Wang what Mr. Nanhua's identity is, whether he is a man or a woman, and what his characteristics are!" Ye Xinran instructed Lan Ying beside him, then waved his hand and said, "Forget it, let the prince and I go ask it ourselves!"
The three of them went to the interrogation room together and pulled Deputy General Wang over for questioning alone.
Ye Xinran didn't waste any words and asked directly.
"What is Mr. Nanhua's identity? Is he a man or a woman? What are his characteristics?"
Deputy General Wang now knew everything and said it without reservation, so he spoke quickly.
"Mr. Nanhua is the respectful name everyone gives her. She is actually a remarkable woman, very good at strategy, military affairs and business!
And it seems that she is very powerful, and she is very concerned about her food, clothing, housing and transportation!
I feel like there is someone above her, but I don't know who it is. We can't, and we don't dare, ask!
Oh, yes! She likes to wear white clothes, but she usually wears veils when she sees us, so we don’t know what she looks like! But. "
Ye Xinran listened to his words and looked at Gu Yanming. Sure enough, this Mr. Nanhua was a woman. She was also very powerful. It seemed that she was not easy to deal with!
"Anything else?" Ye Xinran looked at Vice General Wang and asked, "Are there any characteristics or features?"
Deputy General Wang lowered his head and thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I don't know if it's a physical problem, but she always seems to smell like medicine. But I don't know what kind of medicine it is."
Ye Xinran nodded. He turned his eyes and asked.
"What's with the marks on the soles of your feet?"
Deputy General Wang was startled, looked at his feet and shook his head.
"After being recruited by Mr. Nanhua, I have been working for her. This mark was burned on me in the second year after I followed Mr. Nanhua! I don't know what it is used for, because I have only been responsible for managing some people and keeping accounts in Xiaoyao City."
Ye Xinran believed what he said was true and looked at Gu Yanming to see if he had anything else to ask.
"How long have you been stationed here? Where do the food and fodder come from?" Gu Yanming asked.
"We have been here for a year and a half! The food and fodder are transported in from a hidden path in the valley on the other side of Xiaoyao City." After saying this, Deputy General Wang whispered again.
"My Lord, Princess, since I have cooperated so well, can you spare my life? I am only responsible for managing a few people, keeping accounts, and helping to pass on messages!
Mr. Nanhua likes me mainly because I am good at math and can help with the accounts."
Ye Xinran was too lazy to listen and just waved her hand, asking Lan Ying to take the person away.
"Prince, Princess, you can't go back on your word!" Deputy General Wang, who was being dragged out by Lan Ying, shouted.
Ye Xinran sneered. If I keep my word with a bunch of you, the grass on my grave will probably be two meters high.
Gu Yanming dealt with the military affairs again, and towards evening, the two of them quickly crossed the mountains and returned to the exiled army.
"Sister-in-law, you're finally back! We were so worried about you!"
Gu Yanxin put down the dinner she was making and rushed over. She looked Ye Xinran up and down, and was relieved to see that she was fine. She went back to cook.
The old princess and her husband, Ye Liang and his wife, the old Yan couple, Xiao Changle and Rourou all came over to ask her about her condition and see if she was intact.
Ye Xinran felt warm at heart and reported her safety to them one by one. Then they went about their own business.
"Um, sister-in-law, can you lend me some money?" After a while, Gu Yanlin gritted his teeth and came to her with a guilty conscience.
Ye Xinran raised an eyebrow, "How much do you want to borrow? I can lend it to you, but I need a signed receipt!"
Gu Yanlin was stunned. He didn't expect that he would have to sign a document. But he remembered that his aunt said that his grandmother was sick and needed to buy medicine. He also saw that his grandmother looked bad. Although his grandmother was not his biological mother, she was still okay with him. He couldn't just watch her get sick and do nothing.
If I wanted to ask my eldest brother for it, he was unconscious when the house was searched, so he definitely didn't have it. Even if he did, he wouldn't dare to ask for it.
"Okay, can you give me two hundred taels?"
"Only ten taels! After the confiscation of my property, I don't have much left. I have to spend the remaining money on my family."
Gu Yanxin came over just in time to ask Ye Xinran about the method of cooking wild vegetables. As a result, he heard his second brother asking his eldest sister-in-law for money.
He frowned and asked, "Second brother, what do you want the money for?" The whole family is relying on the eldest sister-in-law and living with her parents' home. Why is the second brother causing trouble at this time?
Gu Yanlin was a little unhappy. Ye Xinran didn't need to be mentioned, but grandma was also Gu Yanxin's grandmother. So he said unhappily, "Aunt said grandma is sick, and the illness is a bit serious. She needs money to buy medicine!"
Gu Yanxin frowned even more tightly and said unhappily.
"Mother has cut off all ties with them, so why are you still in contact with them? Besides, your grandmother is not your biological mother. When she was first exiled, she wanted to beat Mother! Don't you remember?"
"Although grandma is not my biological mother, she was very kind to mother. When we were young, grandma was also good to us! And if mother gets angry and beats you up, will you not recognize her?"
"Can this be the same?" Gu Yanxin always felt something was wrong.
"What's the difference?" Gu Yanlin said unconvincedly, "Grandma is old, so we shouldn't bother with her."
Gu Yanxin didn't know how to refute what he said, and her face turned red with anger.
Ye Xinran frowned, and the look she gave Gu Yanlin became increasingly cold.
Gu Yanlin felt that he was right, so he turned to look at Ye Xinran and continued, "Sister-in-law, I'm not saying that my grandmother's family did make mistakes before, but we are a family after all, so we have to help if we can!
And there is cousin Fang, she has no parents, is alone and helpless, and is closest to my mother. But she hasn't come to see my mother recently, probably because she is still sad about what happened that day. I see that she has lost a lot of weight. My sister-in-law should really be more generous and not make the family restless!"
"Oh, since when can the second brother blame the eldest sister-in-law?"
Gu Yanming's eyes were cold, and his voice was filled with a strong icy sneer as he said, "A sister-in-law is like a mother. I don't ask you to treat her like your mother, but at least you have to respect her! Have you read all the sage books you usually study?"
Gu Yanlin trembled when he heard Gu Yanming's voice, and his face turned pale when he heard what he said clearly.
The main reason was that Ye Xinran was younger than him, and she was not married to his eldest brother in a formal ceremony. She was not the daughter of Dingyuan Marquis, but the daughter of the unpopular third wife. He always looked down on her, often ignoring that she was already his eldest brother's wife, the princess.
Gu Yanlin was speechless for a long time before he lowered his head with a red face and said, "What I said was not wrong!"
