The student was sweating profusely and quickly said, "I know I was wrong."
Qu Jingyun nodded in satisfaction, then said, "I have prepared a small gift for everyone. You can collect it from the butler after you leave."
All the goods she had prepared for everyone were the ones she would be selling in the capital.
There are writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstones, tea, and so on.
Let them go back and try it, then they'll know the benefits of these products. After that, they'll be even more willing to buy them.
Qu Jingyun was increasingly satisfied and whispered to Chen Yue and the others, "It's getting late, let's go back."
The three responded and prepared to leave with Qu Jingyun.
Unexpectedly, Shen Song's figure appeared before everyone at that moment.
Yin Xue stiffened involuntarily and slowly lowered her head.
During this period, Shen Song would visit her whenever he had free time and would bring her gifts.
She could tell that the other person wanted to please her, but she didn't know what their purpose was.
She couldn't accept it for a while and could only keep running away from it.
But unexpectedly, this person actually tracked down to Ting Zhixuan today.
"Mother," Chen Song called softly, handing over the things in her hands.
He chuckled and said, "This is what Dad asked me to bring you. He said it's your favorite plum blossom cake, and he queued for two hours."
"However, something suddenly happened in the military camp that he had to deal with, so he had to go there first and asked me to bring the things over."
Qu Jingyun couldn't help but smile.
But then he suddenly remembered something and his face tightened up again.
“I haven’t liked this kind of food for a long time. Take it away. I have nothing to do with your General’s Mansion anymore, and even less to do with General Shen.”
Her tone was stiff, but Chen Song was not surprised when she heard it.
Shen Yunting had already warned him about Qu Jingyun's reaction when he arrived.
He then said, "Anyway, I've done what Father asked me to do. Now that the things have been delivered, Mother, it's your business how you handle them."
After saying this, he handed the item to Shen Yue, who was standing to the side.
His gaze fell on Yin Xue again, and a fawning smile appeared on his face.
Then she took out a magnolia-shaped jade hairpin from her bosom.
"This was custom-made for me. I think you'll like it. It's a gift for you."
"I don't want to." Yin Xue's face showed a clear refusal.
But the other party forcefully fixed the hairpin in her hair.
He chuckled and said, "Anyway, I'm giving it to you. If you don't like it, just smash it."
Ignoring Yin Xue's reaction, he turned and ran away.
"I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Yin Xue stamped her foot inwardly, wondering how this person had become so shameless.
Chen Song had only been here for a short while, but the way everyone looked at Qu Jingyun's family had changed several times.
Although everyone present knew that Qu Jingyun and Shen Yunting's divorce was requested by Qu Jingyun from the Emperor, everyone felt that Shen Yunting had no interest in Qu Jingyun anymore, and that Qu Jingyun was the one who was abandoned.
Qu Jingyun's personality has always offended people, and her maternal clan has declined.
After losing the protection of the General's Mansion, she was nothing, and everyone had their own schemes.
But looking at it today, it's clear that Shen Yunting still has feelings for Qu Jingyun.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have queued for two hours to buy peach blossom cake.
The fact that it was delivered in full view of everyone suggests it was intentional.
Princess Changning was even more furious when she saw this.
She felt like she had just been a clown.
Unable to hold back, he asked, "General Shen, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you are unwilling to divorce me?"
"What does this have to do with you?" Qu Jingyun scoffed.
He stated bluntly, "Is it any of your business to inquire about my relationship with General Shen?"
After saying this, Qu Jingyun turned and left, leaving behind a crowd full of questions.
Princess Changning was so angry that her body was trembling.
Zhixuan was in a good mood when she came to listen to me today.
But to her surprise, Qu Jingyun completely ruined everything, making her look like a joke.
"Mother, what's going on between you and Father? I heard that Father has already sent that Miss Bai away. He and Miss Bai should be innocent. You two..." Shen Yue couldn't help but ask.
She used to have a lot of opinions about Shen Yunting, but recently she felt that things might not be the case.
Shen Yunting would send people to deliver things to her from time to time, and he would also send things to Qu Jingyun. He didn't seem like a heartless and ungrateful person at all.
Not to mention, Bai Shuangshuang was also sent away very soon.
"Many things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. You'll find out later," Qu Jingyun said with a helpless expression.
She reached out and took the pastries from Shen Yue's arms. After savoring them, a faint smile appeared on her lips.
It tastes just like I always do!
Shen Yunting has always been the person who understands her tastes best.
Her actions only made Shen Yue and the others feel more and more confused.
They looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion.
Seeing their reaction, Qu Jingyun didn't offer any explanation.
If she were the general's wife, then everything she could do would be restricted.
Just like listening to Zhixuan's story today.
Miss Qu can befriend students and make money through business.
But Madam Shen cannot.
If Madam Shen were to do these things, it would only arouse the Emperor's suspicion and implicate the General's Mansion.
But things are different now.
The news of Shen Yunting's return to the capital eventually reached the ears of Qi Yun'er and her two children.
After being robbed, they were reduced to beggars, begging for survival along the way.
They thought that with the defense map in hand, Lin Qingping would definitely be able to succeed in her rebellion.
So after being robbed, they thought about returning to Beijing as soon as possible to ask Lin Qingping for some benefits.
Unexpectedly, they received news of the other party's failure.
They immediately dared not return.
Qi Mingyue stole the defense map, and Qi Yun'er absconded with most of the General's Mansion's property.
If they return to the capital, Qu Jingyun will definitely not let them off easily.
They might also be accused of treason.
To their utter surprise, Shen Yunting actually returned successfully.
Qi Yun'er's heart immediately stirred with excitement.
She still remembers seeing Shen Yunting and Qu Jingyun together many years ago.
That kind of majestic and handsome man is the most suitable for her.
Instead of Qi Mingyue's deadbeat father.
"Let's go back to the capital." Qi Yun'er finally made her decision.
"Mother, are you crazy? If we go back, we'll definitely be arrested, and Qu Jingyun will definitely not let us go. We still have a life now, but if we go back, we'll surely die." Qi Mingyue's eyes widened.
Stealing defense maps is a crime of treason, punishable by the extermination of nine generations of one's family.
“But General Chen is back.” Qi Yun’er’s eyes were dark and unfathomable.
"So what?" Qi Mingyue said dismissively.
Staring wide-eyed at Qi Yun'er, he said, "You're not still dreaming that General Shen has taken a liking to you, are you? What a joke!"
In some ways, Qi Mingyue was much more self-aware than Qi Yun'er.
