After the general's legitimate daughter was reborn, the ascetic prime minister pinched her wais

Before leaving, Chu Xu gave her a jade pendant, saying it was his token. The piece of jade was soft and shiny, as if it had been soaked in water. Even someone like her who didn't understand could tell that it was an extremely rare material.

Gao Wenyan understood that he was trying to show his goodwill. First, he wanted her to continue teaching Chu Ying, and second, he wanted to dispel her suspicions.

"Prime Minister, aren't you afraid that I will frame you?"

"General Gao has been magnanimous in his life, and the girl must be the same."

However, when she arrived home, the magnanimous General Gao had a solemn expression.

Gao Wenyan glanced around and saw that not only were the people there, but they all looked like this. As soon as she entered the door, the servant quickly closed the door and backed out.

This battle would only occur when she wanted to be punished at home.

Gao Wenyan felt uneasy and touched his waist to make sure that the jade pendant was properly hidden before he stepped forward to say hello to General Gao.

"I sent people to look for him but couldn't find him. I waited but couldn't wait! Where did he go out into the wild again?" Mrs. Gao took the lead in scolding her.

"Hey, don't scare Yan'er."

General Gao stopped Mrs. Gao who was getting angry and said, "That's right. Your second brother has told me what happened last night. Where is the wooden sculpture? You can show it to us."

Gao Wenyan followed his instructions and took the wood carvings and recreated the "Double Dragons" scene. Everyone present was shocked.

Gao Wenxi has been at the border all year round and has come into contact with a mixed bag of people, so he has seen many strange things.

He picked up the wooden carving and looked at it for a moment, then said: "It must be a trick played by the barbarians. Very few people know how to do it. I also happened to see a troupe perform something similar once."

Instantly, Gao Wenyan had an idea: a person's power is limited after all, and she needed to make her family members vigilant.

"Dad, there's something I don't know whether to talk about or not."

Seeing her hesitation, General Gao just asked her to speak quickly.

"It's not an auspicious thing. A few days ago, my daughter met someone setting up a fortune-telling stall. Seeing how pitiful the old man was, he went to do a fortune-telling. As a result, the man said... my daughter's family may be in disaster."

"My daughter thought he was talking nonsense. She thought he was a charlatan, so she didn't take it to heart. Who would have thought that this happened yesterday..."

"Huh! You are deceiving the public with your lies! It's just a coincidence!"

General Gao frowned. A man like him who was used to the battlefield always only believed in himself and the knife in his hand.

On the contrary, Mrs. Gao stood up and spoke for Gao Wenyan. She advised: "In this case, it is better to believe it and be more cautious. It is not a bad thing."

Gao Wenxi thought the same thing. He said, "I will send someone to find the fortune teller today to see what else he has to say."

"Dad has just returned to Beijing. Who is trying to frame dad? Zhang Hai stayed up all night and still refused to speak. I'm afraid it's not that simple."

As soon as Gao Wenting finished speaking, Qingyu hurriedly knocked on the door and said that Zhang Hai was dead.

"died?"

Everyone looked at each other, their hearts sinking.

"Okay, this general's mansion is going to become a den of thieves!" General Gao was so angry that he waved his sleeves and strode out the door.

Gao Wenyan and her eldest brother exchanged glances quickly, both thinking that they should act the role well so as not to arouse suspicion. Gao Wenxi was about to call someone, but Gao Wenting's exclamation came from behind him, accompanied by Gao Wenyan's breathing.

She picked up the whip, pressed it with Mrs. Gao's usual strength, and swung it toward her thigh again and again.

"Okay, that's enough." Madam Gao was always cruel when punishing her. It could be seen that when she was about to get hurt without making any mistakes, she couldn't help but have red eyes.

General Gao couldn't even bear to look back. He was so angry that he could only clenched his fists.

He opened the door and said: "Go and call the doctor and give the lady a good bandage."

The servant thought that because he didn't hear the young lady's begging for mercy this time, nothing happened, but in the end the young lady was punished again.

Gao Wenting felt very distressed. Looking at her bloody thigh, he whispered: "You are so cruel. You did it all."

"Otherwise, how can anyone believe it?" Gao Wenyan's lips turned pale, but she still smiled to comfort him.

Gao Wenxi came over to help her and asked, "Can you still leave?"

She tried to take a step, but the wound was stuck with rags, and it hurt whenever she moved.

"Come."

Gao Wenxi knelt down and easily carried her on his back.

"Oh, that's great. I'm so big and my brother still carries me."

Gao Wenting followed her and observed her injuries, and couldn't help but said, "Just talk less."

As soon as he returned to the room and put the person down properly, Gao Wenyan rushed out: "Go and take a look at that sea. What is going on?"

Seeing their hesitation, she smiled and said, "I've been beaten a lot before, don't worry."

"Brother, go ahead. Do the whole show, and there must be one by Yan'er's side."

After Gao Wenxi left, the two of them waited in the room for the doctor to come over and bandage their wounds. The atmosphere was heavy for a moment.

"I didn't take good care of him."

"It has nothing to do with my second brother. No one would have imagined that he was in prison."

Gao Wenyan used some skillful force when he whipped himself. Although the wound was painful, it was not too deep. However, General Gao refused to let her go out no matter what, as long as she rested in the mansion.

Lin Qian came here several times, his eyes were clear and full of worry. It was a critical moment for the investigation of Zhang Hai, so Lin Qian's frequent visits were not necessarily a good thing.

Gao Wenyan tried a few scriptures, but to no avail. Later, he simply found an excuse and asked him to find a rare Chinese medicine, so as to distract him and prevent him from running to the general's mansion again.

Chu Xu's people still came, and after refusing for several days, Gao Wenyan couldn't help but ask Bi Xi to pass on the message.

"If you can get it, the ginkgo tree will be hung with a yellow veil. If you can't get it, it will be white."

The ginkgo tree at her door was several years old. When the General's Mansion was being renovated, she couldn't bear to part with it, so General Gao asked someone to keep it. On weekdays, she likes to practice martial arts under the trees when she has nothing to do. She didn't expect that it would come in handy today.

When Gao Wenxi came to her with a medicinal soup, she was enjoying the shade under a tree and said with a smile: "Brother, I think my injury is not good. Can you ask Miss Zhiyao to come and take a look at it?"

Seeing that Gao Wenxi's expression was not right, she immediately stopped and took the medicine and drank it all in one gulp. Seeing how well-behaved she was after taking the medicine for the first time, Gao Wenxi just snorted and did not pursue the matter.

Gao Wenxi had been worried a lot about Zhang Hai these days, and since there was no news about the fortune-telling, he was really not in a good mood. As soon as Gao Wenyan mentioned Zhiyao, his mood became even worse.

"Do you have any clues about Zhang Hai?"

Gao Wenxi shook his head. The strange thing about Zhang Hai's death was that the man who was still shouting for mercy in the morning and wanted to survive committed suicide in the afternoon. During this period, only a few people had contact with Zhang Hai, and they interrogated them one by one, but nothing was gained.

Just as the two of them were frowning, Gao Wenting arrived.

He looked happy and said: "Brother! Guess what good thing fell from the sky?"
