"General Shen, why don't you quickly express your gratitude?"
Eunuch Chen lowered his eyes and stared coldly at Shen Yun, his voice tinged with displeasure.
"Huh? What 'huh'?"
Shen Yun felt a chill in his heart. He had poured his heart and soul into showcasing himself, even at the cost of offending the Second Prince.
He thought he would be promoted to a first-rank general and receive some gold and silver as a reward.
Now……
Even though he was unwilling, he could only silently bow his head in gratitude.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness..."
As he stood up, Eunuch Chen pulled on the reins, preparing to leave.
"Wait, Eunuch Chen, may I ask why His Highness has humiliated me in this way?"
Eunuch Chen snorted, then glanced at Shen Yun, dismounted, and leaned close to Shen Yun, extending his hand in greeting.
Shen Yun knew exactly what he meant, but he was a miser by nature, never giving away a penny.
Asking him to hand over gold and silver now would be worse than killing him.
But he still gritted his teeth, took out a gold ingot from his clothes, and stuffed it into Eunuch Chen's palm.
"Could Eunuch Chen please tell me?"
Only then did Eunuch Chen's expression soften slightly. With a flick of his whisk, he slipped the gold ingot into his sleeve.
"General Shen, as a general, you probably understand the principle of pacifying the country before resisting external threats better than I do. When choosing a wife, one should choose a virtuous one. Don't let a mere woman upset His Highness the Crown Prince and ruin your future for nothing..."
After saying this, Eunuch Chen did not linger and mounted his horse, quickly departing.
"To quell external aggression, one must first secure internal stability?" Shen Yun was momentarily stunned. His face was tense, the veins on his forehead bulged, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He was already annoyed enough because of Ning Yin and that other man.
Now that the Crown Prince has done this, how can he possibly suppress his anger?
Should one marry a virtuous wife?
Could it be that Yang Shuhuan has gotten her into some trouble recently?
"Good! Very good! Yang Shuhuan, you bitch, I'm out there risking my life, facing death at every turn, and you're doing just that!"
Shen Yun narrowed his eyes, angrily flicked his sleeves, and mounted his horse.
He rushed back to the general's mansion in a huff, and strode straight toward Yang Shuhuan's courtyard.
At this moment, Yang Shuhuan had no idea what she was about to face.
He was lying on the bed, enjoying the treatment of being personally fed medicine by Madam Wang.
Thinking that Ning Yin, as the mistress of the house, had never enjoyed such treatment in the General's Mansion for many years, he couldn't help but feel extremely proud.
But the thought of the injustice she had suffered made her even more indignant.
Yesterday evening, Qingying ordered her men to leave the unconscious woman at the side gate of the General's Mansion.
Not long after, a heavy snow began to fall, burying her at the doorway.
If it weren't for a servant who came back from shopping and pulled her out to carry her into the mansion...
She might die.
When Brother Yun comes back and hears what happened to her, he will definitely feel sorry for her.
When the time comes, she will definitely make Brother Yun teach that bastard and Ning Yin a lesson, win back their face, and ideally wipe out that pair of scoundrels.
Otherwise, she'd probably never be able to get rid of this anger in her heart.
Just then, I heard someone shouting outside.
"The general is back!"
Yang Shuhuan was overjoyed; she had finally waited for Shen Yun.
Under Wang's astonished gaze, she hurriedly began to tidy her hair.
She has a bandage wrapped around her head, is not wearing makeup or dressing up, and is only wearing underwear.
Before she could even change her clothes, she heard Chen Jia speak.
"Brother, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, Sister Shuhuan would have been bullied to death by that bitch Ningyin!"
Yang Shuhuan quickly looked up and saw the imposing and domineering man in front of her; her heart almost melted.
The man I've been longing for has finally returned!
Now, the grievances and hatred in her heart have finally been avenged!
Thinking of this, Yang Shuhuan pinched Ruyan, who was kneeling next to her, hard, urging her to speak up for her.
"Yes, General, Madam... that bitch Ningyin and her lover almost beat Miss to death yesterday!"
"Yun'er, you're finally back..."
At this moment, Wang also pointed to the gauze on Yang Shuhuan's head with heartache and said.
"Look at what that bitch Ningyin has done! Huan'er kindly reminded her that a woman should be virtuous and not be promiscuous, but she was beaten up like this by that bastard! Tell me, is there no justice in this world? You must get justice for Huan'er!"
Yang Shuhuan noticed that Shen Yun's expression was not good, and knew that he must be heartbroken.
She hurriedly tried to strike while the iron was hot, sobbing softly as she stepped forward and reached out her hands to wrap around Shen Yun's waist.
"Actually, Huan'er doesn't blame her sister; it's just that the wild man she seduced was too unreasonable—"
"Smack!!"
