My elder sister stole my marriage? She regretted and cried after I married the general.

The cold wind blew, and the snow fluttered. Ye Qinglan pretended to gather her fox fur.

Unable to wait for Ye Qinghuan to ask her for help, she took the initiative to ask, "How much charcoal do you want, sister?"

"Even though you've been mean to me, I'll still help you for the sake of our sisterhood."

"I seem to have heard that Madam Shen likes to use silver bone charcoal, right? There is less of it on the market and it is harder to buy. Fortunately, I have some."

"..."

Now that the opportunity has been laid out to this extent, shouldn't Ye Qinglan beg her?

Ye Qinglan held her chin high, a sense of pride overflowing.

When Ye Qinghuan opens her mouth, she will severely dampen her spirit! Let her know what is legitimate and what is illegitimate, and what is superior and inferior.

In front of her, Ye Qinghuan can only kneel down forever!

"Not buying."

The two cold and clear words were colder than ice and snow in Ye Qinglan's ears!

The proud smile on her face disappeared and turned into disbelief: "What did you say?"

"I said, I don't want to buy charcoal. What's the matter? Sister Di doesn't understand what I'm saying?"

Ye Qinghuan sneered, her calm face was delicate and pretty, without any panic of having no charcoal to use.

"Then what are you doing here?" Ye Qinglan raised her eyebrows and raised her voice uncontrollably, attracting the attention of passers-by.

"Come and take a look, isn't it okay?" Ye Qinghuan asked back.

Ye Qinglan was speechless for a moment.

The most popular commodity on the market now is charcoal. Apart from charcoal, what else can alarm the mistresses of these wealthy families?

"Please make way. A good dog doesn't block the road." Ye Qinghuan and Ye Qinglan passed each other shoulder to shoulder.

Ye Qinglan was knocked to the side and staggered several steps. Fortunately, a maid supported her in time.

"Auntie Ye, the prince told you not to provoke Madam Shen."

Her maidservants who came with her as a dowry were either dead or sold. The maid serving her now was named Ying'er, and she was sent by Jiang Shiming.

While taking care of her daily life, he also monitored her every move.

Ye Qinglan didn't dare to go against Jiang Shiming's wishes and could only endure it for the time being.

Humph, she just didn’t believe that Ye Qinghuan was just here to take a look!

There is no good silver bone charcoal in the entire market. Ye Qinghuan is so arrogant that she doesn't ask for help, right? Then let the Shen family have no charcoal to use!

With Madam Shen's bad temper, she would definitely give Ye Qinghuan a severe beating.

I heard that Su Jinxiu was pregnant, and the new concubine Bai from the Shen family was more favored by Old Madam Shen. Ye Qinghuan was about to fall out of favor and power, so what qualifications did he have to be arrogant?

"Madam, the eldest lady is following us." Chunyan reported in a low voice.

"Hmph, let her follow me if she wants!" Ye Qinghuan didn't care.

She just came to see the situation of charcoal and rice in the market today. Ye Qinglan thought she wanted to buy charcoal and waited for her to beg her?

Let her continue to dream!

After walking around for a while, Ye Qinglan's legs were sore, but Ye Qinghuan really showed no intention to buy charcoal.

She didn't even stop to look at the charcoal, she just left in a carriage after her visit!

Really not buying it?

Ye Qinglan had given up and stared at Ye Qinghuan with hatred.

Just don’t buy it and wait for the scolding!

Snowflakes were flying, and Ye Qinghuan sat in the carriage with a solemn expression.

"Madam, we don't lack charcoal. No matter how high the market price is, it has nothing to do with us. Why are you still unhappy?" Chunyu asked.

"Food prices have also risen," said Ye Qinghuan.

At this time in previous lives, food prices were stable, so why did they go up this year?

"Don't worry, Madam. Chang Ming has already stockpiled enough as you instructed." Chunyan said.

Ye Qinghuan nodded, but still felt uneasy.

The price of charcoal is affected by weather and human factors, but what about the price of grain?

If someone is manipulating the grain prices, things will be troublesome. Once the grain prices are out of control, the people will cause chaos!

The carriage stopped in front of the general's mansion. Just as Ye Qinghuan was about to get off, a large hand with distinct joints reached out to him.

"General?"

"Come down!"

Shen Lin's tone was relatively gentle, but his face was as cold as ice.

Of course, he wouldn't be so cold to her for no reason, there must be something going on.

"Where is the general from?" Ye Qinghuan asked as he helped Shen Lin get out of the car.

"In the palace."

That was a business matter and had nothing to do with her.

After Ye Qinghuan stood firm, she wanted to retract her hand, but he held it tightly.

"General?"

"Let's go back. It's too cold outside."

Shen Lin had a cold face and took Ye Qinghuan's hand back to Jinfengyuan.

The servants and maids were confused: Was the general angry or not?

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Ye Qinghuan sneezed: "A-choo——"

Shen Lin frowned and finally let go of her hand.

But he took off his cloak and put it on her.

"General, no need..."

Resistance was futile, Shen Lin fastened his cloak forcefully.

He was only wearing his robe, which looked thin in the wind and snow.

But his back remained straight, his handsome face tense, his eyes determined.

Ye Qinghuan thought to himself: This is a huge piece of business!

There was no conversation along the way. After returning to Jinfeng Courtyard, Shen Lin did not go back to his room, but sat on Ye Qinghuan's soft couch as usual.

Ye Qinghuan said with a smile: "The general is so fierce, should I give way to him?"

"???"

Shen Lin then realized that he had scared her, but he really couldn't laugh!

That bastard Gao Yu repeatedly obstructed the Emperor from allocating rations to the Shen family army.

If this continues, the Shen family army will not be able to survive the winter!

If the Western barbarians take the opportunity to attack, how can we fight if we are not well fed?

"General, have a cup of hot tea to warm yourself up." Ye Qinghuan handed over the teacup personally.

The green and jade-like hands holding the celadon cup are pleasing to the eye.

At the border, all you can see are weathered hands covered with frostbite and calluses.

"Sorry, I disturbed you." Shen Lin took the tea and tried to soften his facial expression.

Seeing that he was having a hard time controlling his expression, Ye Qinghuan said with a smile, "General, don't embarrass yourself. It's ugly."

Shen Lin: …

"General, have you encountered any difficulties?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

"There is not enough military rations. Today they said that half of the grain sent to the border a while ago was mixed with sand." Shen Lin said sullenly, "Family affairs and national affairs should be clearly distinguished, but I am really angry."

"Who is so bold as to tamper with the military rations?" Ye Qinghuan asked in surprise.

"Gao Yu is taking revenge on me!" Shen Lin sighed, "In fact, after Zhao Yu was brought down, he wanted to win me over. I didn't agree."

Ye Qinghuan thought for a moment and said, "The Emperor has always valued the Shen family army, so how could he let the Third Prince succeed?"

"This winter is colder than in previous years. All regions are asking for military pay, and the treasury is under great pressure. The emperor may also be wary of the Shen family army and wants to see if I will rebel!"

"The Emperor is really..."

Not smart!

The emperor is willing to support the crown prince Gao Xun, but at the same time he is in favor of the third prince suppressing the Shen family army. Isn't this forcing the Shen family army to join the third prince?

"What does the general plan to do?" Ye Qinghuan asked.

"There is no war going on right now, so I won't go back to the border. I'll slowly think of a solution!" Shen Lin spoke out his worries, and felt much better. "Madam, are you tired? Take a rest!"

Putting down the teacup, he was about to leave.

Ye Qinghuan called him: "General."

"Anything else?"

"I have a batch of food on hand. If the general needs it, it can be transported to the border at any time."
