Empty the scumbag's family assets and exile him!

On this day, Qin Yueran went to court as usual.

In the court, the young emperor sat in the main seat, and the ministers below gave him advice one by one.

"Your Majesty, today there is a severe flood in the Jiangnan area, and the people are struggling to survive. Your Majesty loves his country and his people. In my opinion, you should send officials to the south to comfort the people, which will show that our great country cares about the people."

Qin Yueran stepped forward and handed the eunuch the information he had recently compiled about the flood in Jiangnan.

Before she finished her words, she heard the old marquis snort coldly and look at her with disdain.

"The emperor has tens of thousands of subjects. If he sends relief grain and officials just for a few rainstorms, how can the treasury afford such wanton squandering? General Qin is probably dreaming."

Qin Yueran did not respond to the old marquis's words. She still maintained the posture of giving advice, waiting for the man on the dragon throne to speak.

When the old marquis saw that Qin Yueran didn't even give him a glance, he got so angry that his beard stood up.

He had always been quite prejudiced against this ignorant girl, and he had argued with her more than once in the court.

I didn't expect that she wouldn't give me any respect at all.

"Jiangnan is in the rainy season recently. If it is just a few heavy rains, there is really no need for the court to provide relief. The grain stored by local officials is enough to make up for the losses."

Nan Muchen spoke at the right time, and when the old marquis heard Nan Muchen say this, he looked at Qin Yueran with even more contempt.

"The rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River is not as simple as in previous years. The dam built three years ago has been washed away, and many people's crops have been submerged in the endless rain. If the national treasury is not used for the people, how can the people be convinced of our dynasty?"

Qin Yuran continued to talk relentlessly.

The little emperor was also in a dilemma at this time, and subconsciously looked at Nan Muchen beside him.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, General Qin is right. My dynasty's thousands of soldiers are guarding the country at the border, and they naturally hope that the court will protect their wives and children. Now that floods are raging in the south of the Yangtze River, if no one in the court does anything, wouldn't it hurt the people's hearts?"

At this moment, a loud voice rang out in the silent court.

Qin Yueran raised her eyes and saw that the person who spoke was the Cavalry General.

The man had a tall and straight figure, his black hair was tied up in a bun, and his eyebrows were sharp and his eyes were bright on his resolute face.

"I think what General Qin and General Xiaoqi said is very true. I will order the county magistrates of several places in Jiangnan to do their best to rescue the people of Jiangnan, reduce casualties, and take inventory of the grain and supplies needed. The Pacification Bureau will go south as needed to help the people of Jiangnan get through the difficult times."

At the emperor's command, even if the old marquis wanted to refute something, he had to swallow the words that were on his lips.

He looked at Qin Yuran with resentment, still feeling disdain in his heart.

Qin Yueran thanked him calmly.

Nan Muchen just stared at Qin Yueran. Even though Qin Yueran didn't look at Nan Muchen, she was still frightened by his gaze.

How come he also felt that his advice was not in the interests of the state treasury? Or did he not care about his people at all?

Qin Yuran thought sarcastically.

After the court was dismissed, the General of Cavalry took the initiative to find Qin Yueran and talk to her.

"General Qin, you really care about your people. I have heard about the flood in Jiangnan since I came here. I wanted to find more information before making a suggestion, but I didn't expect that you are so well-informed. We have the same idea."

Looking at the sincerity flashing in the man's eyes, Qin Yuran smiled and nodded.

"For the sons and daughters fighting outside, they are worried about their children and grandchildren at home. The Cavalry General cares about the people. It is said that the Cavalry General has never lost a battle, and the morale of the army is high."

The two men exchanged polite words and parted hastily. The Cavalry General stared in a daze at Qin Yuran's receding carriage.

In the next few days, Qin Yueran felt that this brave cavalry general seemed to be pursuing her.

From the very beginning, he sent servants to his house to deliver some rare toys, under the pretext of making Xiaobao happy.

Later, he brought some cakes and visited in person, and started chatting with Qin Yuran about Jiangnan Yuqing intentionally or unintentionally.

Tang Bao originally thought that her mother had some government affairs to deal with in the court, so she didn't take it to heart.

It was only when she saw the general approaching the general's mansion more and more attentively that Tang Bao realized something was wrong.

Could it be that this brave cavalry general came here hoping to become his father?

Besides, the arrival of this brave cavalry general would divert his mother's attention and prevent Qin Yuran from accompanying him wholeheartedly.

This made Tang Bao feel even more unhappy.

On this day, the Cavalry General visited the General's Mansion again, holding a box of osmanthus cake from the Chengtou Cake Shop.

"Recently, the girls in the capital have been liking the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from the shop at the top of the city. I don't know much about it, so I brought some for you and the children to try. If you don't like the taste, I also brought some peach cakes and biscuits for you to try."

The Cavalry General was like a young boy who had just fallen in love. He was nervous and awkward, holding the cakes and observing Qin Yueran's expression carefully.

Qin Yueran was practicing swordplay as usual, beads of sweat on his forehead ran down his face, and his hair stuck to his cheeks. After he finished dancing with the sword, his heroic posture stunned the general.

"Thank you for troubling General Xiaoqi. I apologize for the poor hospitality. Xiao Cui, go and make a pot of Longjing tea."

Qin Yueran asked the Cavalry General to sit down, and didn't notice Tang Bao pouting in anger at all.

Seeing that the man in front of her had so easily diverted her mother's attention, Tang Bao was furious.

Although…those pastries look particularly tempting.

Tang Bao deliberately stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into her mouth while the Cavalry General was still not sitting down.

"You kid, you didn't even call out to the general when you saw him. What did your mother teach you?"

"It's not delicious. This sweet-scented osmanthus cake is not delicious. Mother, I want to eat the candied haws from the north of the city."

Tang Bao started to act up in front of Qin Yueran. Just as Qin Yueran was about to scold Tang Bao, he was stopped by the Cavalry General.

"It's my fault. We won't eat this sweet-scented osmanthus cake if it doesn't taste good. Tangbao, wait. I'll go buy you some candied haws from the north of the city."

After saying that, the Cavalry General was about to stand up to help Tang Bao buy candied haws, but Qin Yuran quickly stopped him.

"I don't know what's wrong with this kid today. Don't worry about him. The north of the city is so far away, and the candied haws would have melted by the time he came back. Tangbao, don't make trouble unreasonably."

Seeing her mother, who was usually gentle to her, suddenly speaking to her in such a serious tone, Tang Bao felt very uncomfortable and tears welled up in her eyes.

It was indeed because of the appearance of this brave cavalry general that my mother’s attitude towards me became so cold.

Thinking of this, Tang Bao looked at the Cavalry General with even more rage.

"It's okay, the child may just be acting like a spoiled brat. It doesn't matter, I just happen to be going to the north of the city to do some work, so it's just a matter of convenience for me to bring a candied haws for Tang Bao."

After saying this, the Cavalry General touched Tang Bao's head, but Tang Bao dodged as soon as his hand was placed on it, leaving the Cavalry General's hand hanging in the air, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
