Qi Yun'er looked at Shen Song with expectant eyes and asked, "Song'er, have you seen anyone?"
Shen Song nodded excitedly, "Auntie, I saw her, but she doesn't want to be with me now. She said she's afraid of my mother and that I have a wife."
"Then you should divorce Yin Xue," Qi Yun'er suggested.
"But……"
Shen Song hesitated.
When Lin Qingping abandoned him, it was Xue'er who stayed by his side and took care of him.
After thinking for a while, Shen Song made her suggestion: "Aunt, since I'm leaving with Qingping and won't be staying in the General's Mansion anymore, why not let Xue'er stay in the mansion to take care of my mother?"
The more he talked about it, the more he felt that his method was quite good.
Shen Songqing couldn't help but laugh.
"Xue'er is so kind, she will definitely agree."
Upon seeing this, Qi Yun'er couldn't help but roll her eyes.
She said earnestly, "If Yin Xue finds out that you and Lin Qingping left, do you think she'll make a scene? If your mother finds out then, your Qingping will be gone."
“No,” Shen Song immediately objected.
A hint of pity appeared in his eyes.
"Qingping has already told me that she was forced to rebel. Qingping and I will go into seclusion for a few years and come back when things stabilize."
"you……"
Qi Yun'er rolled her eyes a few more times.
What an idiot.
Is it really that hard to get a divorce from Yin Xue?
All her scheming was aimed at getting Yin Xue and Shen Song to divorce, and depriving the General's Mansion of Yin Xue as an ally.
Noticing that Qi Yun'er seemed unhappy, Shen Song's eyes became cautious.
He observed Qi Yun'er and asked, "Auntie, are you unhappy?"
Hearing this, Qi Yun'er rolled her eyes again.
She said impatiently, "I feel sorry for you, making you feel so frustrated. How about this..."
She whispered a few words in Shen Song's ear.
Shen Song's eyes lit up. "Okay, I'll do as my aunt says."
Soon, Shen Song left the general's mansion.
Upon learning that Shen Song had left the city directly, Qu Jingyun stared at the secret letter and fell into deep thought.
Xiao Liu immediately reassured him: "Perhaps the eldest young master isn't so stubborn after all?"
Towards the end, Xiao Liu fell silent.
Well, the eldest son can indeed be a bit stubborn at times.
She burned the secret letter, her dark eyes swirling with profound meaning.
Before long, Qu Jingyun started laughing at herself again.
"It seems that my cousin and Lin Qingping are indeed in cahoots."
After saying that, she looked up at Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu immediately handed her Shen Yunting's secret letter.
After reading it, Qu Jingyun frowned.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Liu and Qu Jiu both tensed up.
Xiao Liu asked anxiously, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Qu Jingyun pressed her temples and handed him the secret letter.
Then Xiao Liu's expression also became serious.
"Madam, why don't I go to the border? These people are clearly treating human life like dirt. General Chen was only a little close to the general, yet they dared to kill him directly?"
As she spoke, Xiao Liu's eyes welled up with tears.
This time, General Chen was not the only one who died at the border; all those who were close to Shen Yunting could not escape.
Some of those who were not assassinated were also poisoned.
Moreover, everyone exhibited the same symptoms: they died from being chilled to death.
Qu Jingyun laughed in exasperation.
She slammed her fist heavily on the table.
"You all stay at the General's Mansion. Qu Jiu, gather all the secret guards together. Some of them will stay to protect the women and children in the General's Mansion, while the other half will go to support the General. You must find all the remnants of the previous dynasty."
"yes!"
After agreeing, Qu Jiu quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
Seeing Qu Jiu leave like that, Xiao Liu sighed.
Xiao Liu couldn't help but feel worried: "This Lin Qingping is no ordinary remnant of the previous dynasty, Madam. Perhaps we should lock up the eldest young master instead."
"No need, it's not a bad thing for him to make use of this waste material. We'll just have to wait and see."
After saying that, Qu Jingyun looked towards the door again.
Then came another disdainful laugh.
They want to take over the General's Mansion?
There's no such thing as an easy thing.
Taoli Village.
Shen Yunting led his subordinates into the village and went to the village chief's house to ask if they could stay there.
The village chief looked warily at the imposing Shen Yunting at the front, and asked, "Who are you?"
Ge Ye, one of the subordinates, immediately stepped forward and said, "This is my master. We were on our way to visit relatives in Yuncheng, but we were robbed on the way and had to flee overnight."
Upon hearing that he had encountered robbers, the village chief scrutinized him again.
Ge Ye immediately offered a bag of silver, saying, "Thank you, village chief. If we can't find a place to stay tonight, we'll really die out here."
The village chief was startled by these words.
After hesitating for a moment, he let the person into the house.
The village chief placed a pot of tea in front of them and continued to stare at Shen Yunting.
"There are quite a few bandits around here, so you'd better be careful."
Ge Ye nodded repeatedly, "That's right. We only left our luggage unattended for a short while, and the robbers stole it. They saw that my master is handsome and even wanted him to become their bandit wife."
Upon hearing this, the village chief looked curiously at Shen Yunting, whose face had darkened.
Shen Yunting swept his gaze across the room with a cold look.
In an instant, the village chief was so frightened that he backed away.
The village chief chuckled awkwardly, "They really are something else."
Despite looking so fierce, she doesn't seem to care about appearances.
Ge Ye was amused by the village chief's expression.
He wanted to say a few more words, but was stopped by a sharp look from Shen Yunting.
However, Shen Yunting's gaze had completely frightened the village chief, and he didn't dare to come out of his room again after returning.
