That night, Wang had several nightmares.
I dreamt that Shen Yun suffered a great defeat and was killed by bandits.
He also dreamt that all the money in the general's mansion was emptied by outsiders, leaving him destitute on the streets.
Suddenly, a scream came from inside the house, and Wang was so startled that she sat up abruptly.
The candle by the bedside flickered, startling her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat.
He was panting heavily and took several deep breaths before he could calm his wildly beating heart.
"It was just a dream, it scared me to death."
Licking her dry lips, Wang instinctively called out.
"Zisu, quickly pour me some water..."
After calling several times and seeing no response, he called for Granny Qin again.
Still no one paid any attention, and only then did Wang realize that she had locked the two of them in the woodshed.
No one else is allowed in her room except for Granny Qin and Zisu. Now, if she wants a drink of water, she has to get up and pour it herself.
Suddenly, she remembered that when she caught a cold, Ningyin would always sleep in the next room, afraid that the servants would not take good care of her.
Wang felt that if it wasn't Qin Mama and Zisu who stole it, then it was very likely Ning Yin who stole it.
After all, only a few outsiders have ever been in this room.
The more I thought about it, the more heartbroken I felt. I got up, poured myself a glass of water, drank it, and then rummaged through the cupboard again and again.
What's giving her the biggest headache right now is this imperial phoenix crown. How is she going to explain it to the emperor?
......
A few days later, Shen Yun sent Xiao Xuan a report of victory, saying that he had successfully wiped out the bandits.
The head of the bandit leader was also hung on the city wall, and he was able to return in triumph three days later.
That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and silver frost covered the earth.
Inside the Dongshan camp, singing and dancing filled the air as Shen Yun and his generals drank and celebrated.
He lived up to the important task the Crown Prince had given him.
He wiped out all the bandits without losing a single soldier; he will surely be rewarded again when he returns.
Shen Yun is now a General of the Cavalry, and his goal is to become the First-Rank General of the State of Qi.
None of them, as military officers, didn't want to climb to the very pinnacle of power.
Sitting in this position means having absolute power and glory, and your descendants will enjoy the benefits as well.
Shen Yun dreamed of having many children with Ning Yin in the future, so that they could inherit his mantle.
The glory of the Shen family will be passed down through generations, and no one will be able to shake the Shen family's position in the Great Qi.
Thinking about it, Shen Yun smiled and drank the cup heartily.
Several generals below him began to flatter him: "This great victory over the bandits was all thanks to General Shen's wisdom and resourcefulness, which left them with no chance to fight back."
"Yes, General Shen is both brave and resourceful. It is a great blessing for our Great Qi to have such a general. I am sure the Crown Prince will reward him handsomely upon his triumphant return."
As Shen Yun listened to the flattery of the person sitting down, he felt increasingly pleased.
"Come on, have another drink!"
"After we return, I will also record your merits before the Crown Prince. Following me, Shen Yun, you are destined for great success!"
As Shen Yun spoke, his gaze swept over the dancers below the hall.
Although she was dressed sexily and had a graceful figure, she was far inferior to Ning Yin.
I wonder if Ningyin has finished making those shoes for herself yet.
When he returned this time, he brought the person back to his residence.
Regardless of whether Wang agrees or not, he is determined to take the person back.
If Yang Shuhuan insists on staying in the General's Mansion, she can only become a concubine.
He pulled a hairpin from his pocket, which he had bought at the market during the day.
It's a very elegant design; Ningyin should like it.
He had only focused on fighting battles before and had no knowledge of women's items. This hairpin was also chosen with the help of Lan Yue.
Just then, two urgent reports were brought in by soldiers outside the door.
Shen Yun snapped out of his thoughts, casually unfolded the letter, and glanced at it briefly.
With just one glance, the tender look in her eyes instantly turned into a hint of anger.
The letter was sent by an informant I had planted at the Ning family clinic. It said that the pair of shoes Ning Yin had made had been given to a young master surnamed Li.
Just two days ago, he saw that Young Master Li had someone send Ning Yin a lot of furniture and jewelry.
Shen Yun was so angry that his chest trembled. He squeezed the letter with his fingertips and crushed it into pieces.
"Ningyin, you are truly my good wife!"
Shen Yun's dark, cold eyes reflected firelight, like a ferocious beast whose prey had been stolen, his body shrouded in murderous intent.
He suddenly sneered, pressing his tongue against his cheek, "Ha! Which young master Li is so reckless!"
Shen Yun threw the tattered letter on the ground and quickly opened the second one.
The letter was sent to him by the commander of the guards at the general's mansion, and he glanced at it casually.
The letter said that there was a thief in the general's mansion, and all of the old lady's jewelry was stolen. The old lady was so angry that she almost fell ill.
Yang Shuhuan interrogated the servants, who eventually confessed that Ning Yin was the one who did it.
Because very few people were allowed into the old lady's room.
Granny Qin confessed that she saw Ningyin take Wang's jewelry out to sell, which is why she was in such a hurry to move out of the General's Mansion.
The reason the guard commander sent the urgent report was because Yang Shuhuan had told them to go with her to the Ning family's medical clinic to search for evidence in two days.
The guard commander didn't want to get involved, but Yang Shuhuan threatened him with the air of a future mistress.
He could only send an urgent message to Shen Yun to inquire about his opinion.
After all, without Shen Yun's orders, they wouldn't dare to act on their own.
After reading the letter, Shen Yun suddenly let out a few cold laughs.
"If that's the case, let her suffer more. I want to see if that young master Li can protect her!"
