Under the cover of night, the mighty general's mansion was quiet and majestic.

The house was brightly lit, but it did not seem noisy. Instead, it exuded a calm and inviolable atmosphere.

The high-hanging lanterns illuminate the bluestone paths in the mansion. The swaying light and shadows reflect the quaint buildings, adding a touch of mystery to the atmosphere.

In the courtyard, ancient cypresses stand tall, and the leaves rustle in the night wind.

Under the moonlight, the flowers in the garden emit a faint fragrance, which complements the tranquility of the night.

The rockery pond glowed silver in the moonlight, and the water gurgled, like a melodious piece of music.

In the study, candlelight flickered. The general was reading a military book at his desk, and the candlelight reflected his resolute face.

On the watchtower in the distance, the soldiers looked around vigilantly, guarding the peace of the general's mansion.

The entire general's mansion looks particularly majestic at night, like a sleeping giant, quietly guarding this land.

When he arrived at the general's mansion, Baili Ye told the soldier guarding the gate that he wanted to visit the mighty general.

When the soldiers saw that the visitor was King Chen, they did not dare to neglect him and quickly invited him to the hall, and then went to report to the mighty general.

When the mighty general heard that King Chen had arrived, he was a little surprised, but he quickly stood up and went to the hall to greet him.

Arriving at the hall, the mighty general bowed and saluted: "This humble general greets King Chen. I wonder if King Chen has something urgent to tell you about by visiting so late at night?"

Baili Ye gently supported the mighty general and said softly, "General, there is no need to be polite. I came here today because I have an important matter."

The general looked serious, invited Baili Ye to take a seat, and ordered someone to serve him fragrant tea.

The three of them sat down, and General Weiwu looked at Chu Qinghe and asked, "Who is this young friend? Is he the fiancée of King Chen?"

Baili Ye looked at the little girl and said softly, "She is the wife-to-be, and the newly-appointed Princess Jiahe of the Emperor."

Chu Qinghe stood up with a smile, bowed to the mighty general and said:

"Junior Chu Qinghe greets the old general. I hope the old general is doing well."

General Weiwu knew that the Emperor had granted him a marriage with Prince Chen, and he had also heard a little about his fiancée's background and deeds. He thought she was an extraordinary woman at the time.

Although she was born in the countryside, she has abilities different from ordinary women at such a young age, and she has a broad mind, which is really rare.

At that time, I wanted to wait until Prince Chen got married so that I could have a glimpse of him, but I didn’t expect to see him in advance today.

He looked at the graceful, efficient and carefree little girl in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of liking for her.

He laughed and said to Chu Qinghe:

"Princess, I have heard of your deeds for a long time. Seeing you today, I find that you are indeed worthy of your reputation. You two are a perfect match, and you are the backbone of the country!"

Chu Qinghe smiled slightly and said modestly:

"General, you are too kind. You are the iron guard who guards the border for Dasheng and the backbone of Dasheng.

Qing He just did what he could, and he doesn't deserve such praise from the old general."

General Weiwu was pleased to hear Chu Qinghe's praise and said happily:

"The Princess of Jiahe County is truly a rare woman. Come, both of you, please take a seat."

The three of them sat down again, and Baili Ye also said with a smile: "General, Xiao He and I came here today, in addition to letting you get to know me, I also have something to tell you."

The mighty general straightened his expression and said, "Oh? What's the matter? Feel free to tell me."

Baili Ye said seriously:

"General, thirty-five years ago, your daughter, the current queen of Daxia, returned to Dasheng to visit her relatives. Later, because the domestic situation in Daxia was unstable, she gave birth to a child, left the child in the general's mansion, and returned to Daxia alone with her family?"

The mighty general pondered for a while and said affirmatively: "Yes, Yi'er is exactly 35 years old this year. When Jun'er gave birth to him, she left behind three children. Poor Yi'er was born prematurely and was weak. It took a long time to carefully raise him before he grew some weight."

After saying that, the mighty general looked at the two of them and asked, "Is your visit this time related to my daughter and grandson?"

Baili Ye nodded slightly and said:

"General, in fact, this visit is related to your daughter and grandson."

Upon hearing this, General Weiwu's expression tensed up and he quickly asked:

"What happened to them? But what happened in the palace?"

Baili Ye waved his hand and comforted:

“General, don’t be nervous, everything is fine in the palace of Daxia.

However, some things have happened recently that have made us notice some clues.

After some investigation, I discovered that there seems to be a hidden story behind your grandson Shangguan Yi's life experience."

The mighty general frowned, "Hidden secret? What do you mean?"

Baili Ye paused and continued:

"As far as I know, your daughter, the Crown Princess of Daxia, stayed in an inn due to weather conditions before giving birth.

There was also a pregnant woman staying in the hotel at that time, who is Xiaohe's current grandmother.

One day they handed a letter to the Crown Princess. Because of the letter, the Crown Princess had a miscarriage and was about to give birth.

It happened that the pregnant woman was about to give birth, so the two of them shared a midwife, and in the end each gave birth to a baby boy.

There was a fire and an assassination attempt that night, and the Crown Princess was too busy to attend to any of the incidents. It was the husband of another woman who had just given birth who took the child out and saved him.

Later, after the Crown Princess fought off the assassin, her body was covered in dirt, so she asked another woman who had just given birth to help her change her baby's clothes.

Because the other woman had no extra clothes, the Crown Princess took out two identical sets of clothes and asked her to help change.

Unexpectedly, the husband of the woman in labor had evil intentions and swapped the two babies.

So the child who was later sent to the General's Mansion was not your biological grandson."

Hearing this, the old general stood up suddenly and slammed the table in anger, causing a crack to appear on the corner of the table.

"That's ridiculous. Are you serious? Where is my new grandson?"

Baili Ye comforted him, "Don't worry, old general. Take a look at these things first."

As he spoke, he took out a bundle, placed it on the table and untied it.

A swaddling cloth with a blue background and white flowers, an object similar to a key, and a jade pendant.

The mighty general picked up the swaddling clothes and felt around for a while before seeing the word "Yi" embroidered on it. He remembered that this was made by his wife for the child and they bought the cloth together.

After my wife was done, she happily told me that she had not been able to prepare anything for her daughter’s last birth, so she would prepare more for the child this time to make it up to her.

He looked at the two objects again, picked them up and examined them. These were the things he had prepared for his grandson.

At that time, I just thought it was lost in the chaos, but I didn't expect such a vicious thing to happen.

The mighty general's hands were shaking and his eyes were flashing with anger and grief.

He held the objects tightly, as if he wanted to crush them.

He said sadly and angrily:

"How abominable! My general's mansion had already thanked that couple and gave them a token of gratitude.

If they have any difficulties in the future, just let them know and the General’s Mansion will do its best to help them.

I didn't expect to provoke a pair of vicious wolves."

Baili Ye stepped forward and comforted him: "Old General, take care of yourself and don't be angry."

The old general calmed down and asked, "How is my grandson now? He is in the hands of farmers and he is not my biological son. How can he live well?"
