As autumn deepens, the flowers and plants in Jinfeng Courtyard have begun to turn yellow.

Ye Qinghuan was trimming flowers and plants with her maids when suddenly several servants came and tied up Chunyan and Chunyu.

Ye Qinghuan's face darkened and he asked, "What happened?"

"Madam knows what's going on." The butler sneered and looked at Ye Qinghuan with particular contempt.

Chunyan and Chunyu were extremely panicked.

Feng He held the sword and said, "Madam, we can take action..."

"No need. Let's go to Fushouyuan." Ye Qinghuan put down the flower scissors, his eyes were like water, but terrifyingly cold.

It's a big holiday, you have to cause trouble, right?

Okay, she'll help them!

Ye Qinghuan brought Feng He and Feng Yu to Fushouyuan. In addition to Chunyu and Chunyan, the doorman and coachman from yesterday were also kidnapped.

Li Lan stood beside Old Madam Shen and looked at Ye Qinghuan proudly.

Yu and Qin also had expressions of gloating.

"Mother is so angry, what's the matter?" Ye Qinghuan stood in the hall, not even willing to bow.

"You had an affair with someone while Lin'er was not at home, and you dared to be so aggressive?" Yu was the first to attack.

adultery?

Ye Qinghuan suddenly understood.

It turned out that someone at home was watching her.

Ye Qinghuan looked at Li Lan coldly.

Li Lan was frightened by her aura, but she still said stubbornly: "Yes, I reported it! Sister-in-law, you are not a faithful wife, and it is unjust."

"Hey, what did sister-in-law see?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

"I saw you driving a man through the streets in a carriage! The man was wearing black armor on his wrists!" Li Lan said loudly, "Not only me, but the doorman and the coachman also admitted it."

The doorman and the coachman knelt on the ground, not daring to say a word.

Ye Qinghuan didn't want to embarrass them, so he said, "I'll explain the whole story. Let the doorman and the coachman go down first."

"They are witnesses and can't leave!" said Li Lan.

"The testimony has already been given. Do you still want them to hear more secrets?" Ye Qinghuan shook his head.

No wonder Li Lan is not powerful at home, she is really stupid! There is nothing else in her mind except profit.

Madam Shen said in a deep voice: "Alright, you guys go down."

"Thank you, old lady!"

The doorman and the coachman glanced at Ye Qinghuan carefully and retreated in a hurry.

"Ms. Ye, what else do you have to say now?" Old Madam Shen was so angry that she wanted to tear Ye Qinghuan to pieces.

She spoiled and indulged her, just hoping that she could win Lin'er's heart.

I didn't expect that in the end, the result would be like this!

If I had known this earlier, I should have divorced her by using the excuse of "using a concubine as the legitimate wife"!

"Mother, let Second Aunt and Third Aunt leave as well." Ye Qinghuan said.

Yu and Qin were so excited, how could they leave?

"Ye, we are your elders! You did something like this, it's good that we didn't invite the clan elders to interrogate you together!"

"Are you embarrassed now? Why didn't you feel embarrassed when you were having an affair with someone?"

Ye Qinghuan remained calm, neither ashamed nor annoyed: "Mother, this concerns the general's safety."

Everyone's expression changed!

Li Lan sneered: "Who are you trying to scare? You just want to drive us all away so that you can beg for mercy! Don't dream. The crime of adultery is absolutely unforgivable!"

"Since mother doesn't mind, then I don't mind either." Ye Qinghuan felt tired of standing, so he found a chair and sat down.

Li Lan opened her eyes wide: "Ye, you are so arrogant! How dare you sit down without your mother's permission?"

Old Madam Shen rarely got angry immediately. She looked at Ye Qinghuan gloomily, with clouds surging in her cloudy eyes.

After a long while, she ordered, "All of you go out first. Let my daughter-in-law go out as well."

"Mother!" Li Lan stomped her feet.

Ye Qinghuan must have sent everyone away so that she could make excuses. She had to watch the scene!

"Get out!" Old Madam Shen raised her voice.

Li Lan had to leave reluctantly.

Now only Old Madam Shen and her personal nanny, as well as the servants of Jinfengyuan, are left.

Madam Shen suppressed her anger and asked, "Can you tell me now?"

"Mother, the Shen family army is in trouble."

"what?"

Old Madam Shen stood up in shock.

"In order to cover up the truth, I asked Feng Yu to pretend to be a general and parade around the city. I didn't expect my sister-in-law to make a fuss about it and it almost ruined the whole thing." Ye Qinghuan said.

Feng Yu took a step forward: "Madam, the man in the Madam's carriage yesterday was me."

Feng Yu is Shen Lin's confidant, so what she says is very credible.

"Are you serious?" Old Madam Shen no longer cared about men and was only worried about Shen Lin.

If something happens to Shen Lin, the Shen family army will be finished!

"Whether it's true or not, old lady, we'll have to wait and see tomorrow." Ye Qinghuan said, "But before the Western Barbarians attack tonight, we must not let anyone know that the general is not in Shengjing!"

Old Madam Shen's chest heaved violently.

At this moment, Su Jinxiu, who had heard the news, also rushed back: "Aunt, Madam did not have an affair with anyone..."

In a hurry, she used the old name, which seemed more intimate.

Madam Shen's expression eased and she asked, "Do you know?"

"Someone has been watching the General's Mansion these days, wanting to know what's going on with Brother Ling. Everything Madam has done is to protect Brother Ling." Su Jinxiu knelt down, "Especially the day when Miss Zhao came, Madam even deliberately painted rouge on her neck."

"The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has also set its sights on the Shen family's army?" Old Madam Shen was on the verge of collapse, and the nanny hurried to support her.

"Mother, it only takes six hours to send a letter from Shengjing to the border by carrier pigeon. There may be a faster way. So, we must keep it secret until dark no matter what."

"You are right, you are right..."

Old Madam Shen took a deep breath and it took her a long time to recover.

She took a few steps forward and held Ye Qinghuan's hand: "Qinghuan, thanks to your cleverness..."

"Mother, I am the daughter-in-law of the general's mansion. We rise together and fall together." Ye Qinghuan also relaxed his expression, "But how can I hide it from my second and third aunts?"

"They are all useless! They are more likely to cause trouble than to help! Don't worry about it, I have my own way." Old Madam Shen sneered shrewdly.

"Yes."

Madam Shen went out with her cane. Su Jinxiu stood up and poured tea for Ye Qinghuan: "I am sorry that you have wronged me, Madam."

"It doesn't matter, let's hold on a little longer." Ye Qinghuan sighed, "There are many people in the East and West Palaces, and they are all gossiping. I hope we can keep it a secret."

"Don't worry, ma'am. I can do it." Su Jinxiu said.

Ye Qinghuan nodded, but he was not completely reassured.

After all, it was about the survival of the Shen family army and Fengming Pass. And she was still not clear about the interests of the general's mansion.

It’s all Li Lan’s fault!
