The rain was getting heavier, and Nanny Qin walked forward holding an umbrella for Old Madam Shen.

Bai Zhi could only stand in the rain, following closely with her skirt lifted up.

Only after they entered Fushouyuan did they dare to relax.

"How could you let the carrier pigeon land in Jinfeng Courtyard?" Old Madam Shen raised her hand and slapped Bai Zhi, making her dizzy.

Bai Zhi knelt down and apologized: "Madam, the carrier pigeon that I used to contact the Second Young Master has always been outside the mansion. It may have been seriously injured and lost its strength today, so it fell to Jinfeng Courtyard."

"Fortunately, Ye Qinghuan is still afraid of me, otherwise the details would be exposed and our plan would be ruined!" Old Madam Shen is still frightened and breathing heavily.

"Yes, today is all thanks to the old lady."

Bai Zhi didn't dare to refute because she was also scared!

She took a lot of effort to get to Shen Lin, but if the truth is exposed, she will end up like Zong Xue!

After that, who can help the Second Young Master?

"Madam, let's first see what the second young master has to say!" Nanny Qin advised.

Bai Zhi quickly took the letter down and presented it to Old Madam Shen.

Beautiful and powerful words are engraved on the yellowed wax paper.

It was the handwriting that Old Lady Shen was most familiar with, Shen Rong’s.

But the content made her open her eyes wide in horror!

"Madam, what did the second young master say?" Bai Zhi asked hurriedly.

Madam Shen's hand trembled, and the note fell to the ground: "Look for yourself!"

"what--"

Bai Zhi was so frightened that she screamed.

Nanny Qin was the calmest. She snatched the note and burned it on the candle: "Madam Bai, you need to be more stable in the future."

"……Yes."

.........

The sky gradually darkened and the rain continued to fall.

The maid lit the glazed lantern at the gate of the courtyard, and the warm yellow light cast a small touch of warmth in the rainy night.

Shen Lin saw this from afar and felt warm in his heart. He couldn't help but quicken his pace to go home.

In the past five years, there has never been a moment when I thought about going home quickly.

Qin Baochen was right, Ye Qinghuan was his lucky star.

Once she came, he had a home.

Shen Lin walked quickly along the way, his powerful steps splashing tiny drops of water.

Snap, snap—

"The general is back!" As the maid announced, the entire Jinfeng Courtyard suddenly became bright.

Ye Qinghuan walked to the corridor to greet him: "General, everything will go smoothly."

"ended."

The fatigue between Shen Lin's brows disappeared visibly.

"Wang Yingyong testified against Zhao Yu in court, and coupled with the correspondence between them and the Western Barbarians... the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has been raided."

"Zhao Yu was sentenced to death and will be executed on a certain day. In order to clear himself from the relationship, the Third Prince directly said that Zhao Qingyao had an affair with the guard and broke off the engagement on the spot."

"Now the Zhao family is like a rat crossing the street, and everyone is shouting and beating them. In order to appease the Shen family army, the emperor has allocated a batch of food and money."

"..."

Shen Lin kept talking, and Ye Qinghuan held his chin with one hand, listening quietly.

Was he also so talkative when he was with the soldiers at the border?

Will we be locked up only after returning to Shengjing?

Shen Rong, ah Shen Rong, what exactly do you want to do by poisoning your brother?

"In short, Madam, you don't have to worry about it anymore." Shen Lin finished his summary, his mouth already dry.

Ye Qinghuan poured tea for him, he took it with a smile and drank three cups in a row.

Seeing how generous he was, Ye Qinghuan asked, "General, you are very happy today, would you like to have a couple of drinks?"

"Okay!" Shen Lin slapped his thigh cheerfully, and suddenly remembered that Ye Qinghuan was not suitable for drinking alcohol, and said, "It's the same with drinking tea. Today, Madam has made a great contribution. I will toast Madam with tea instead of wine."

"Actually, I can drink..." Ye Qinghuan was a little greedy.

On a cold rainy night like this, it’s just right to drink two cups to warm up your body.

"No! Bai Chong said you can't drink anymore." Shen Lin said seriously.

Ye Qinghuan had no choice but to say, "Okay, okay, let's have tea."

"Ma'am, please!"

"Dry!"

The two of them actually clinked their teacups together and drank from each other.

Shen Lin laughed heartily, and Ye Qinghuan also laughed.

The cold rainy night and the warmth inside the house seem like two different worlds.

The flickering candlelight cast their shadows on the window paper, and occasionally they would stick together as their shapes changed.

Feng Yu and Feng He were watching silently outside, and they were both very relieved.

I hope that Madam and the General will get better and better and live together forever.

Also, have some children as soon as possible so that the general can have his own family.

----

At the same time, outside the Third Prince's residence, Zhao Qingyao knelt in the rain and pleaded over and over again: "Your Highness, I am innocent."

"Your Highness, please don't abandon me. Have you forgotten the vows we made?"

"Your Highness, you are all I have... All of this is for you..."

"..."

It was so sad and complaining that it was unbearable to listen to.

Zhao Qingyao was soaked all over, her hair stuck to her face, and her voice was hoarse from crying.

However, Gao Yu didn't even glance back.

This afternoon, she tricked Shen Lin into going to the inn. Unexpectedly, she became a sinner in the evening! Lost everything!

She hates it so much!

How could Gao Yu just cross the river and destroy the bridge, not caring about the life and death of her and her family?

But she was helpless and could only come to save Gao Yu.

I don’t know how long I knelt in the rain, but finally, the door opened.

Zhao Qingyao finally saw hope. She raised her eyes and looked eagerly inside the door, then knelt forward eagerly.

"Miss Zhao, please go back!" The person who came out was Gao Yu's confidant, Eunuch Ji.

No Zhao Yu!

The hope in Zhao Qingyao's eyes was shattered, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Where is the Third Prince?"

"Miss Zhao, your Zhenguo Mansion has committed a serious crime, and almost implicated the Third Prince. Today's situation is already the best outcome."

"No, I don't want it!" Zhao Qingyao got up like crazy and tried to force her way in.

Eunuch Ji swept the whisk in his hand, and Zhao Qingyao fell to the ground in a mess.

"Miss Zhao, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the young masters of the Zhao family."

Zhao Qingyao's whole body began to tremble violently, as if she was sifting chaff.

"Miss Zhao, please go back! If you don't leave, don't blame me for being cruel."

Eunuch Ji raised the whisk in his hand again, and Zhao Qingyao seemed to be suppressed by a huge force and could not even move.

Blood spread out of her mouth, and she finally compromised: "I understand. I'm leaving..."

Eunuch Ji put away his whisk and the pressure disappeared.

Zhao Qingyao struggled to get up, stumbled and disappeared into the rainy night.

Gao Yu slowly emerged from behind the door and looked at him expressionlessly.

After a long while, he said, "Eunuch Ji, was I too harsh on her?"

"Your Highness has great ambitions, so he should not be trapped by personal feelings." Eunuch Ji turned around and smiled, wrinkles on his feminine face, "I didn't expect Shen Lin to be so powerful and cut off one of our arms. Your Highness, you have to recruit more talents in the future."

"How is Minister Ye?" Gao Yu asked.

Eunuch Ji was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "Excellent!"
