"Madam General, please let me in?" she asked the maid again.

When did Shen Qing treat her so politely?

What medicine is sold in the gourd?

"That's right. Our Madam invited Concubine Shen to have a chat in Chunnuan Pavilion." The maid said affirmatively.

"Since I told you to go in, why don't you go quickly? What are you standing there for?" Qin Yueze glared at her.

Shen Rongyue followed the maid to Chunnuan Pavilion with full of suspicion.

After entering the door, the maid did not ask her to go to the inner room.

He just let her sit in the outer room and served her tea.

"Our wife is injured and in great pain right now. It's not convenient for her to talk. Please have some tea first."

"How seriously is my second sister injured?" Shen Rongyue couldn't help but ask.

The maid just smiled and said, "I can't say for sure. You will know when you go and see for yourself later."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Shen Rongyue wanted to go in and take a look, but Yun Wei, who was guarding the door, was staring at her with two vigilant eyes... This is the general's mansion, how could she dare to go in?

Just like that, Qin Yueze and Shen Rongyue, one was drinking tea in the front yard, and the other was drinking tea in Chunnuan Pavilion.

The more Shen Rongyue drank, the more anxious she became.

An hour has passed!

Apart from Yun Wei who was still staring at her hungrily at the door, the entire Chunnuan Pavilion was very quiet, and there was no movement in the inner room.

It seems that no one has remembered that she is still waiting here...

The longer Qin Yueze waited, the happier he felt.

These two sisters have so much to say to each other!

When people are injured or sick, they are most likely to think about their family.

It seems that Shen Rongyue and Shen Qingyin are getting closer after all...

Another hour passed.

Shen Rongyue's legs were numb from sitting so much that she couldn't help but stand up and look towards the inner room.

Suddenly, a maid came out from the inner room and said, "Our lady is tired and has gone to rest. Please go back now."

"You...you..." Shen Rongyue's face flushed, feeling that she was being fooled.

But under Yun Wei's cold and cruel gaze, she said nothing in the end and left Chunnuan Pavilion in dismay.

His face was full of resentment all the way.

I told you, Shen Qingyin has bad intentions with this bitch.

"Yue'er——" As soon as she reached Qianyuan's door, Shen Rongyue was startled by a friendly call.

The one who called her was none other than Qin Yueze.

This was the first time he called Shen Rongyue so intimately.

He saw her coming from afar in the front hall and couldn't wait to greet her.

"Is my second sister okay?"

Looking at Qin Yueze who was eagerly waiting for her reply, Shen Rongyue was stunned.

"She, she was injured...but, not seriously..." Shen Rongyue said.

It was the maid who told her that she was injured.

As for whether it is serious or not, of course it is not serious, otherwise wouldn't the General's Mansion be in chaos long ago?

"Oh? Where is the injury?" Qin Yueze asked.

While he was waiting in the front yard, he also asked the maids and guards, but they couldn't explain it clearly.

"Injury...injury...Young Master, let's go back and talk about it in detail." Shen Rongyue suddenly had an idea.

Qin Yueze looked at the maid following behind Shen Rongyue, thinking that she was not in a position to speak, and had to nod in agreement.

But once they were on the carriage, they began to ask questions again.

"Injured legs and feet--" Shen Rongyue guessed boldly.

Thinking back carefully, when she first entered Chunnuan Pavilion, a maid came out from the inner room, holding a pair of blood-stained shoes...

Plus, the legs and feet make up a large part of the body, so the chances of her guessing it right are very high...

She couldn't say that she entered Chunnuan Pavilion and just sat on the bench for two hours without even seeing Shen Qingyin?

Wouldn't her value in the prince's heart be greatly reduced?

Would the prince still speak to her so kindly, or even call her by her maiden name?

Qin Yueze heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this: "With Doctor Feng here, I think there will be no problem."

As long as Shen Qingyin doesn't die, it'll be fine.

If I become disabled and I don't despise her in the future, she will be more easily moved...

Prince An's Mansion.

"What? They suffered more than forty casualties?" Qin Zhihao was so shocked that his face turned pale when he heard the news brought back by the guards.

"How is it possible? They are all top-notch experts, how could they be so useless?"

There are fifty people in Yanluo Pavilion, but less than ten people in the General’s Mansion. Is this result a joke?

"It's true, Second Young Master... The people from Jingzhao Prefecture have gone to collect the bodies. I have seen with my own eyes that there are more than 30 corpses. They must be telling the truth..." the guard said cautiously.

"How could this be? Didn't they guarantee that it would be foolproof? What about their methods?" Qin Zhihao's face was still full of disbelief.

Qin Jinshu was also shocked by the result. She stared with her eyes wide open and was speechless.

"According to them, Shen Qingyin was surrounded by not only seven or eight attendants, but also more than ten secret guards from the general's mansion. In addition, there was a group of mysterious people in black helping them! Those people were not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had an opportunity behind the scenes to catch them off guard, resulting in heavy casualties—" the guard continued.

Qin Zhihao was stunned: "Mysterious man in black? Who is that——"

He had heard that there were secret guards in the general's mansion.

Who is the mysterious man?

The guard shook his head: "They don't know, and they said they want to ask you, Second Young Master..."

"Ask me? How would I know?" Qin Zhihao felt that this was incomprehensible.

"They also said..." the guard stammered.

"Tell me quickly, what are they talking about!" Qin Zhihao looked at the guards and became impatient.

"They also said that this time they suffered heavy casualties because of the wrong intelligence information provided by the Second Young Master, and they wanted the Second Young Master to pay them an additional 100,000 taels of silver to deal with the aftermath—"

Qin Zhihao was furious.

He punched the table beside him hard, and the veins on his forehead bulged.

"How ridiculous! How ridiculous! They didn't complete the task I gave them, and I haven't even had the chance to ask them to return the money, but they dared to ask for more money?"

Seeing my second brother, who was usually calm, suddenly lost control.

Qin Jinshu, in turn, reminded in a panic: "Second brother, the walls have ears, speak softly--"

Qin Zhihao calmed himself down and gave a solemn order to the frightened guards who lowered their heads:

"Go tell them that I will not hold them responsible for the mission failure for now, considering their heavy casualties... If you don't know what's good for you and still want more money, you won't get a penny!"

The rule of Yanluo Pavilion is to pay the silver first.

In view of their efficiency, he always followed the rules and paid first.

This time they asked for 100,000 taels, and he gave it to them.

But that was one hundred thousand taels after all, not ten taels.

He spent the 100,000 taels to do something big.

Now, the matter has not been completed, and they are asking for an additional 100,000 taels? How can this be justified in the world?

The guards responded and left. Qin Zhihao's chest was still heaving, and he was still very angry...
