Just as Madam Wang was asking the maid whose room General Wang had stayed in the previous night, General Wang's voice came from outside.
Madam Wang was somewhat surprised to hear General Wang's voice. Since Gao Yingjie left, General Wang had never come to her courtyard again.
A moment later, General Wang brought Gao Yingjie in.
As soon as Madam Wang saw Gao Yingjie, she wanted to ask, "What are you doing back here?" However, General Wang hadn't spoken to her for a long time.
Gao Yingjie bowed to Madam Wang. "Greetings, Madam."
Madam Wang gave a curt "hmm" with a dark expression.
General Wang was in a good mood and didn't argue with Madam Wang. "Do you know why Yingjie came back? Yingjie came back to tell me good news. Yingjie led his men to retake Liaocheng."
Madam Wang didn't believe it. "He went with Yun Xiaoliu to assist him, didn't he?"
"No." General Wang had already asked Gao Yingjie how he had recaptured Liaocheng. General Wang had told Madam Wang how Gao Yingjie had done it. "Isn't Yingjie amazing?"
"..." Madam Wang looked at Gao Yingjie. "Did you really take back Liaocheng?"
Gao Yingjie nodded.
Madam Wang's eyes lit up immediately. "So, is Liaocheng now under your control?"
Ningyuan City was reclaimed by Yun Xiaoliu, so the Yun family has the final say there. The city General Tian reclaimed is also under his control. Liaocheng was reclaimed by Yingjie, so naturally, Yingjie has the final say there.
Gao Yingjie: "..." Why would Madam think that? "No. Xiao Liu said to let her father take care of it."
"What?!" Madam Wang's eyes widened instantly. "You took back Liaocheng! Since you took it back, you should be in charge of it. Master, Yun Xiaoliu is bullying Yingjie."
"What bullying? Do you think Yingjie can take back Liaocheng all by himself? The soldiers under Yingjie's command were all given to him by Yun Xiaoliu."
"..." Madam Wang was speechless.
General Wang looked at Gao Yingjie and said, "Yingjie, you don't think that way too, do you?"
Gao Yingjie quickly replied, "No. You're right. I'm all alone. No matter how capable I am, I can't possibly take back Liaocheng."
"Hmm. Yun Xiaoliu is willing to give you a chance, you should thank him."
Madam Wang was unwilling to accept this. "My lord, the Yun family is the one who calls the shots in Ningyuan City. When they took over Ningyuan City, the Yun family didn't have any troops at all."
General Wang glared at Madam Wang. "What is the relationship between the Yun family and the Niu family? What is the relationship between our family and the Yun family? The Yun family and the Niu family are related by marriage. Since they are related by marriage, what difference does it make who's in charge?"
"..." Madam Wang was speechless again.
Gao Yingjie looked at General Wang and said, "I'm sorry, I messed up my relationship with Aunt Yun Xiaoliu."
"It's alright. Yun Xiaoliu isn't petty. Have you eaten yet?"
"No. I wanted to tell you some good news first."
"Come on, I'll take you to eat."
"Alright." Gao Yingjie bowed to Madam Wang and then followed General Wang.
Madam Wang slammed her hand on the table in anger. "These two fools! They were used and they're still thanking the person who used them."
The maids thought to themselves that the master and young master Gao were right, that young master Gao couldn't have taken back a city by himself, while they tried to calm Madam Wang down.
Madam Wang was still furious. "Go and invite the eldest son here."
"yes."
A moment later, Young Master Wang arrived.
As soon as Young Master Wang arrived, Madam Wang told him what had just happened. "Don't you think those two are stupid? Stupid, aren't they?"
Young Master Wang didn't want to argue with his mother about whether General Wang and Gao Yingzhi were fools. "Mother, do you still think Yingjie is unworthy of Miao'er?"
"...He would be worthy if he could take Liaocheng back from Yun Xiaoliu."
“Mother, if Yun Xiaoliu doesn’t give Yingjie the soldiers, even if Yingjie were Zhuge Liang reborn, he wouldn’t be able to take back Liaocheng. Also, if Yun Xiaoliu and Lao Hei didn’t go, the barbarian soldiers wouldn’t have been afraid to come out and fight, and they wouldn’t have been exhausted by Yingjie.”
Madam Wang refused to admit it. "It's not as exaggerated as you say. She's just bullying us, she's just bullying Yingjie."
“Mother, Yun Xiaoliu is not that kind of person. Yun Xiaoliu treats his subordinates very well.”
"What's so good about it? She drove Yingjie away as soon as he took back Liaocheng."
Young Master Wang rubbed his forehead. “Mother, Yun Xiaoliu didn’t drive Yingjie away. Yun Xiaoliu probably wanted Yingjie to come back to see Miao’er. Hasn’t Miao’er always treated Yingjie like a brother? Now that Yingjie is so capable, Miao’er might change her opinion of him and see him as a hero, someone she can marry.”
Madam Wang didn't believe it. "She just wants to drive Yingjie away."
“Mother, she’s not that kind of person. Mother, even if you don’t believe her, you have to believe in Old Master Yun. If Old Master Yun let his children and grandchildren steal credit from others, so many people wouldn’t have gone to him to seek refuge.”
Young Master Wang tried to persuade Madam Wang for a long time, but she simply wouldn't believe him. Left with no other option, Young Master Wang gave up. "Mother, you're busy. I'll go tell Miao'er that Yingjie is back."
"Go ahead. Let Miao'er persuade her."
"good."
After leaving Madam Wang's place, Young Master Wang went to find Gao Yingjie.
When he arrived, General Wang was asking Gao Yingjie what he had learned from Sisi during this time.
Gao Yingjie said he has been playing chess with Sisi every day lately.
General Wang automatically interpreted it as Sisi using chess pieces to teach Gao Yingjie how to fight.
"Father, Yingjie."
"Okay. Sit down."
"good."
After listening for a while, Young Master Wang looked at General Wang and said, "Father, Miao'er has been missing Yingjie a lot lately. Let me take Yingjie to see Miao'er."
"Okay. By the way, how many days off did Yun Xiaoliu give you?"
"Xiao Liu didn't say anything. Xiao Liu told me to go back after I finished my work."
"Then talk to Miao'er for a while and then go back. Go back and study hard with Yun Xiaoliu."
"good."
Wang Miaolan was playing shuttlecock with her maids in the courtyard when Young Master Wang arrived with Gao Yingjie. "Miao'er, look who's back?"
Miao'er was very happy to see Gao Yingjie. "Brother Yingjie, you're back? Brother Yingjie, did Yun Xiaoliu make things difficult for you?"
"No, Xiao Liu is very good to me."
"That's good."
Seeing that Miao'er treated Gao Yingjie the same as before, Young Master Wang said, "Miao'er, have you noticed that Yingjie is different from before?"
"Yes." Miao'er looked at Gao Yingjie and said with a smile, "Brother Yingjie is darker than before."
"You naughty boy. Your brother Yingjie is a great hero now. Your brother Yingjie led his men to take back Liaocheng."
"Really? That's great! Brother Yingjie, you're amazing!"
That's it? "Don't you admire your brother Yingjie?" Once you admire someone, it's easy to like them.
Upon hearing this, Miao'er immediately said, "I'm too familiar with Brother Yingjie to admire him. I admire Yun Xiaoliu. Brother Yingjie, can you take me to see Yun Xiaoliu? I really admire Yun Xiaoliu."
Young Master Wang: "..." So, it turns out that Yun Xiaoliu was the obstacle between Yingjie and Miao'er.
Gao Yingjie: "..." Yun Xiaoliu is not as good as you think. Yun Xiaoliu... Yun Xiaoliu can't play chess.
