Reborn as a Merchant Girl, the General's Beloved

Ming Qi added calmly: "As far as I know, Hong Ze did not return to the Earl's Mansion after returning to Beijing. He is now placed in the official post station on the outskirts of the city."

Yuan Yi suddenly felt that something was wrong and wanted to rush home to discuss it with his father and uncle, but unexpectedly, Old Luo came and said that there was a disturbance in the clinic and someone was causing trouble. So he hurried to Yishan Hall, while Mingqi asked people everywhere to inquire.

In the evening, the two men met at the old residence of the Yuan family. When Yuan Ruofeng heard from his son that someone had robbed the clinic in broad daylight, his brows were twisted into a rope. The Yuan family has been practicing medicine for generations, and such a thing has never been heard of since the generation of Taizu. What's more, this happened in the city of Bianjing, under the feet of the emperor.

Yuan Yi had already ordered people to deliver letters by express horse, instructing all shops in various places to temporarily suspend business for a few days and keep a close eye on the market. All branches of Yishantang were to be assigned more staff, and all doctors were to be allowed to return to see patients instead of rest. If there were one or two patients who could not pay the consultation fee, no dispute should be made with them, and the matter could be reported to the authorities for punishment.

Seeing that his father was still worried, he comforted him, "Our family's problem is just a loss of money, so we can wait and see. But Lord Hong's life is at stake, so we have to find another way."

"Didn't your meeting with Earl Anyuan go smoothly today?" Yuan Ruolan asked.

Yuan Yi knew that he could not hide it, so he handed her the document he got from the Earl's Mansion.

The three brothers and sisters of the Yuan family gathered together and read the divorce letter from beginning to end. Even when they saw the private seal of Marquis Anyuan at the end, they were still a little bit unbelievable and looked at Yuan Yi at the same time.

Yuan Yi was stunned and quickly explained: "That's not what I want!"

Mingqi was afraid of misunderstanding and making Yuan Ruolan angry again, so he hurriedly said, "They took the painting and took out this."

"What did Lord Anyuan say? Could it be that they are angry because our family was running around asking for the divorce papers?" Yuan Ruoyun was also confused.

"Mingqi and I didn't even meet Earl Anyuan. We were waiting by the pond outside the study. They took the painting away and soon sent out this divorce letter." Yuan Yi sighed.

At this point, everyone in the room fell silent.

Mingqi whispered, "When Hongze was seven, his mother died. He left home with his three-year-old brother Hongyuan to study martial arts at Xianyuntai. In the following ten years, they never set foot in the Earl's Mansion. I heard that there was not even a courtyard for him in the Earl's Mansion, and no one dared to mention them."

Yuan Ruolan thought of Hongze's nervousness when he talked to her, and suddenly felt sorry for the child. She sighed and said, "I guess this child has a hard life. His parents are not close. I don't know how much he has suffered. How did he grow up?"

Compared to his elder sister's sentimentality, Yuan Ruofeng was much more rational. He sighed and said, "There are so many things going on in the mansion, such as vying for favor and gain. It's rare for a child like him to be able to protect himself and bring up his younger brother. As for these old secrets, I think it's not that easy to find out. Let's just leave it alone. If the Earl's Mansion doesn't care, we will!"

After hearing this, Yuan Ruoyun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, not only do we need to manage it, but we also need to manage it to the end!"

Before Liu could speak, Zhang clenched her fists and stood up and said, "He is Nan'er's husband, and he risked his life to save us. Now he is imprisoned in the inner prison and his life is uncertain. Only An Yuanbo can do such a thing as a coward, but we can't do it!"

Liu nodded: "My sister-in-law is right!"

Yuan Ruolan couldn't help but burst into tears when she saw that the whole family was united. Mingqi saw that the big idea had been made, so he reminded her in a low voice: "Madam, do you want to discuss this matter with the young lady?"

There was silence in the room again.
