"What do you three want from the Xie Mansion?" Bo Chen's tone was very cold.

"Excuse me, sir, what is your name? We are here to look for someone on someone's behalf." Uncle Wen said politely.

"Looking for someone? Who are you looking for?"

"I'm sorry, sir, it's inconvenient to tell you this."

"Is it inconvenient? Or do you have other intentions?" There was a murderous look in Bo Chen's eyes.

He Bayue, who was also a military commander, felt it instantly, and he was always wary of the young man in front of him.

"Are you willing to tell me or not? If you don't, we'll find someone else. You're just wasting time here like an old woman."

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly offended two people.

Not only did Xie Bochen glare at him angrily, but even Nanny Wen sneered, "Master, you are truly a gentleman. How dare an old woman like me compare myself to you?"

He Bayue looked embarrassed and smiled at Nanny Wen, "Aunt, I was talking about him, not you. I was wrong, is that okay?"

"Don't say that!" Bo Chen interrupted their conversation. "If you don't tell me the purpose of your trip, you can't leave this room."

"Do you live by the sea? Why are you so nosy? Idiot!" He Bayue cursed.

"If you have the guts, tell me again!"

"I said you are sick!"

"Fuck!" Without saying anything, Bo Chen drew his knife in an instant, "You can want to know, but you have to give me your life! Wait until you die, and I will tell you where the Xie Mansion is."

Seeing that the two were about to start a fight, Uncle Wen protected Nanny Wen behind him and took out a knife.

"Uncle Wen, there's no need. Why would you need to take action against such a small minion?" He Bayue looked at Xie Bochen with pride. He was the commander who fought on the battlefield with the prince.

How could a young man who has just started out and has no experience in life be his opponent?

But these words sounded particularly harsh to Bo Chen. This ancient ape actually looked down on him?

"Hey! You descendant of an ape, who are you looking down on? Let's fight!"

"Let's fight alone. Do you think I'm afraid of a little jerk like you?"

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, the door of the private room was opened.

"Stop it!" Yun Zhihan felt a lot more relieved when he saw that they hadn't taken any action yet.

"Mom? Why are you here? It's too dangerous, leave quickly!"

Bai Chen stood in front of Yun Zhihan with lightning speed.

"Put down the knife." She pushed her son away and explained, "You misunderstood."

He Bayue and the other three looked at the woman in front of them in confusion, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Yun Zhihan closed the door and asked, "I am Yun Zhihan from the Xie Mansion."

As soon as these words came out, the three people's eyes lit up. This beautiful woman turned out to be the legitimate mother of the Xie family? Then this reckless boy was her son?

In other words, Yun Zhihan is really a widow?

"It's Madam Xie." Uncle Wen was the first to react. "May I ask how Madam Xie proves her identity?"

It is better to be careful. If you pick the wrong person, the prince will eat them alive.

Yun Zhihan smiled calmly, "It seems that the three of you came here in disguise. General Tuoba is thoughtful."

"Are you really Yun Zhihan?" He Bayue asked again.

But before she could answer, Xie Bochen was unhappy, "Who are you? How dare you call my mother by her name? My mother was personally appointed as the Princess of the County by the Emperor!"

Seeing this, Yun Zhihan quickly pulled his son back to his side.

"Excuse me, this is my youngest son, Xie Bochen. I'm a bit rude in my daily life, so please don't be offended."

"Mom! Why are you speaking for these outsiders? Who are they?"

When the three of them saw this, they knew that this person was undoubtedly Yun Zhihan.

"This old servant, Wen Heng, is the general's butler."

"This old servant, Wen, is the general's nanny."

"I am He Bayue, the general's subordinate."

"Humph! A subordinate?" Bo Chen said sarcastically, "Why would my master accept a subordinate like you?"

"You little brat, tell me again?"

"Alright, alright! Stop it!" Yun Zhihan felt it was unsafe to talk here, so he suggested, "The three of you should follow me back to Xie's house first. It's inconvenient to talk here."

"The county lady is really thoughtful." Uncle Wen pulled He Bayue and told him not to make trouble.

"Wait a moment!"

"What instructions does the county lord have?"

"General He Ba's face... is too ostentatious. It must be changed, otherwise it will be easily exposed."

He Bayue agreed immediately after hearing this, "Aunt, I said it was ugly, right? You still don't believe me, look, Madam Xie has said so, why don't you change my face quickly?"

"Got it, got it. I'll change it for you right away."

Nanny Wen asked with a smile, "May I ask what kind of appearance do you think is more suitable?"

"At least he should look like a Great Zhou citizen. Did you see the waiter just now? Just draw him like him."

He Bayue's appearance must have attracted a lot of people's attention. If others saw them entering Xie's house again, it would probably arouse the prince's suspicion.

"Okay, I'll change it right away."

"Ah."

But what Yun Zhihan was thinking at this moment was that it must be a bad thing for so many people to enter Xie's house together, so he had to find a proper reason.

Suddenly, she thought of Yuan.

A few days ago, she passed away due to great loss of energy and mental confusion. Before she died, she was already emaciated and kept calling Bai Liang's name.

It just so happened that the servants who took care of her were still in the mansion, so she found a few people to replace them.

As for those people, if they are willing, they can redeem their indentures.

If they are unwilling to go back, send them to Qingyang County to help.

Thinking this way, Yun Zhihan asked Jinshang and Bochen to go back and deal with the servants' affairs first, and then bring them back later.

He Bayue looked at his new look. Although he still looked rustic, it was better than being a caveman.

"Madam Xie, this is the letter my master asked me to give you, saying that you must open it in person."

Yun Zhihan took the letter and read its contents, feeling excited and moved.

She learned from Tongzi that Tuoba Hong had hardly slept since he returned to Dongyue Kingdom. He had finally eliminated the rebels and had to reorganize the court.

Even though he was so busy, he never forgot himself.

But what surprised her even more was that in just a few days, he actually seized the imperial power and became the crown prince of Dongyue Kingdom.

At this moment, a token fell out of the envelope. She picked it up and asked curiously, "What is this?"

It looks like a token.

He Bayue whispered, "The master's token is in your safekeeping."

Yun Zhihan was shocked. How important was this item? How dare Tuoba Hong give it to her for safekeeping? How could she repay such trust?

"When are you three going to return? I want to make plans early."

The three shook their heads and said in unison, "We're not leaving. Our master told us to stay and protect you."

"what?"

He Bayue thought Yun Zhihan disliked them, and immediately explained, "Madam, don't worry. We brought money with us."
