Chapter 421: Your words don’t seem to count
Ye Qianning nodded and followed Madam Zhan into the hall.
"Okay, you all should go back and rest after staying up all night." Zhan Yi said, turned around and hurried to catch up with them.
Zhan Chi did not move, staring at the woman of Xiyan all the time.
"Let's go, let's go back." Huaihua yawned.
The concubines stayed up most of the night, and once the searching soldiers left, their tense nerves finally relaxed.
"You..." Mudan looked at the woman.
The woman didn't move, but nodded and smiled at the concubines, saying, "Thank you very much for today. I will definitely thank you all when I have the chance."
"We are only helping our little girl. If you want to thank us, please think of our daughter when you have any benefits."
"Yes, you owe my girl a big favor, remember to pay it back in the future."
What's the point of concubines asking for favors if they never go out? This woman looks like an extraordinary person. She might be of help to her children in the future.
The woman smiled and nodded. The concubine in the general's mansion was indeed different from what she knew.
Are there really many concubines in the world who live in harmony and treat their legitimate children sincerely?
She was somewhat skeptical!
The concubines left, and the servants and guards also left.
The only ones left at the gate were the woman, the Xiyan guards, Zhan Chi and Luo Wen.
"Don't be so vigilant, we won't run away." The woman looked at Zhan Chi coldly.
"I can't wait for you to leave now." Zhan Chi didn't want the little girl to take any risks.
"Let's go? Is there any place in Kyoto City that is safer than the General's Mansion?" The woman was not stupid. She knew that it would take several days to search every house in Kyoto City.
The gates of Kyoto City were not open, so they had nowhere to hide if they went out now.
Zhan Chi's face darkened: "You want to stay in the General's Mansion?"
"Don't say it so harshly, it's a deal, a deal!"
"The little girl didn't say she would escort you out of Kyoto. Now that the searchers are gone, you should disappear as well."
"Young man, don't be so angry. Here..."
"Stop trying to get close to me." Zhan Chi interrupted her.
"I mean, your words in this general's mansion don't seem to count."
"you……"
"Talking to the little kid is much better than wasting time with you." The woman chuckled and raised an eyebrow, turning around and saying, "Let's go find the kid to negotiate."
The Xiyan guards followed.
Zhan Chi stayed where he was, stamping his feet in anger. He looked at Luo Wen and said, "Look at her attitude when she's trying to escape. I'm going to talk to that little girl right now."
"Master Zhan, no one can change my eldest lady's decision. Master Zhan, please stop wasting your words and don't upset her."
"What do you mean by your eldest daughter? That's my daughter, the eldest daughter of the Zhan family."
"Young Master Zhan, please stop being stubborn. If the eldest lady hears this, you probably won't even be able to enter the general's mansion." Luo Wen shook his head.
"Who's being stubborn? She is... Luo Wen, you're amazing."
Before Zhan Chi could finish his rebuttal, Luo Wen flew away, and he was so angry that the wound on his shoulder was about to split.
In the hall.
Madam Zhan squatted down and held her shoulders with both hands, her face solemn: "Fatty, tell me honestly, is the woman who just hid among the concubines the one the soldiers are searching for?"
"Yes." Ye Qianning knew that she had guessed the clue and could no longer hide it.
Madam Zhan's expression grew even more serious after receiving confirmation. "The city gates are closed, and the Emperor has ordered a house-to-house search, even the residences of court officials. How dare you get involved in such a matter?"
The emperor's actions showed how much he cared about the woman. Whether it was out of hatred or love, it would be a disaster if she was discovered and hidden.
