The Demon Queen of Divine Doctor is not to be trifled with

Chapter 557: Niang Bao Nan

Ye Wenyan's expression did not change. He just nodded and said calmly, "Yes." Then he looked at the sky and said, "Let's talk about it inside. Some things cannot be explained in just a few words."

Zhou Shang also nodded, "Okay, then the Fourth Miss goes in first, and I'll go around to the backyard to tie up the horse and then go find the Fourth Miss."

Now Ye Wenyan's courtyard has moved back to the east. The servants think that the courtyard she lives in is too small, so they demolished the wall and expanded it. She doesn't really care how big the place she lives in is. This mansion can never give her a sense of belonging. It's like an inn. She comes back to sleep at night and does whatever she wants during the day.

So it doesn’t matter whether the place she lives in is big or small. This first-rank general’s mansion is just her first stop after she traveled through time. One day, she will leave here, and when everything is over, she will hand over this mansion to its real owner, and then take her things to find her own house and live her real life.

As for the courtyard wall that had been demolished, she had no intention of asking more. She would let the servants do it if they wanted to. Someone would definitely continue to live here in her place in the future. Maybe that person would like a bigger courtyard?

Zhou Shang came over quickly, and in the front hall of Ye Wenyan's room, he hesitated for a while, and finally told Ye Wenyan: "The general has a concubine at the border, and he has raised her for many years. They even had a child, a boy."

He talked about the story between General Ye and the concubine, which was basically the same as what Xiao Shubai said, except that he knew more details than Xiao Shubai. For example, when the concubine gave birth to her first child, she had a difficult labor and almost died. The general called the doctor in the camp to save the concubine's life. However, the concubine's life was saved, but the doctor's life was not.

"When the medical officer died suddenly, the general explained to the public that he had died suddenly in front of him. He was very sad for many days. Not only did he order a grand funeral, he also ordered people to send the official's clothes and hats back to Lin'an and build a tomb for the official's family.

But in fact, he was the one who poisoned the woman to death. The general had already prepared the poison before the doctor came. It was because the doctor was an old acquaintance of the Mu family, and his family was also a family friend of the Mu family. When the doctor arrived at the concubine's residence and found out what had happened, he refused to treat the concubine. But the general had given the order, so he had to obey, and he had a quarrel with the general afterwards.

The general poisoned the man with a cup of tea, and no one doubted that he died suddenly."

When Zhou Shang said this, he looked a little puzzled. He even asked Ye Wenyan, "Fourth Miss, don't you think it's strange? The general has lived with his concubine at the border for so many years. Although the concubine was raised in the town and the general didn't go there often, it shouldn't be possible that no one in the camp could find out. No one can hide the matter so well!"

Ye Wenyan nodded, "Yes, it's impossible to hide it so well, so many people must have known about it over the years, but those people either chose not to say it, or..." or maybe they just didn't have the chance to say it.

There are frequent battles in the border camps, and it is very easy to kill one person or a group of people.

She didn't want to think of Fourth Miss Ye's father in such a bad light, but as she heard more and more things, she no longer held out any hope of a comeback for General Ye.

"How did you survive?" she asked Zhou Shang, "Didn't the general hide these things from you?"

Zhou Shang said, "No, after all, the general also needs a helper. I am a servant of the Ye family, and I am probably more trustworthy than the soldiers! So the general did not hide it from me, nor did he kill me. Over the years, I have been traveling frequently between the camp and the town, delivering messages to the woman for him, delivering things, and taking care of the child for him.

Later, the soldiers in the army thought that I had married in the town, and that they were my woman and child. When the general went to the town to talk to the woman and was occasionally seen by others, he would say that she followed me and was caring for his subordinates.

Zhou Shang lowered his head. "Fourth Miss, I'm sorry. After I came back, I didn't tell anyone about this, not even Madam. Because the general is my benefactor, and I always think that for a man of the general's status, even if he has concubines and children outside, it's not a big deal. Maybe Madam already knew about it, but just didn't want to say it."

"Then why are you saying it now? Is it because I asked?"

Zhou Shang shook his head. "Even if the Fourth Miss doesn't ask, I don't plan to keep these things secret any longer. I will find a chance to tell you or my wife. Because my health has been getting worse recently, especially at night when I cough a lot, sometimes I even cough up blood. I secretly went to the clinic to see a doctor, and the doctor said that I was poisoned by a chronic poison for many years, and now I don't have much time left."

"Hmm?" Ye Wenyan was stunned, then waved at Zhou Shang, "Come forward, I'll take your pulse." She placed her hand on Zhou Shang's wrist, circulated her spiritual power, and soon found that there was indeed toxin flowing with the blood. Although it was not fatal, it would only last for a month or two at most.

Zhou Shang was still talking: "The general loves to drink a kind of tea, which is a specialty of the border. Every time he makes tea, he will pour me a bowl. Everyone envies me and says that I must be the servant brought by the general from Lin'an, which means we are closer. Recently, I recalled my poison. If I am not mistaken, it is most likely that the tea is problematic."

When he saw Ye Wenyan put his wrist down, he quickly took two steps back with a complicated expression on his face.

"Miss Four, do you hate the general? Don't hate him, he is actually a good man. Soldiers at the borders fight with their heads on their waistbands, and they might fall off at any time. The general promised the soldiers of the three armies that no matter what the circumstances, as long as their bodies can be found, he will definitely bring them back to the territory of Northern Qi for burial. If someone wants the ashes to be returned to their hometown, they will set fire to the body, and then solemnly put the ashes into a jar, and take them back when he returns to Beijing to report on his work and visit his family. Even if the soldiers' homes are not in Lin'an, they will send people to their hometowns and send a large amount of pension silver.

For the soldiers at the border, having their affairs guaranteed after death was the best outcome. Therefore, everyone in the camp loved the general and said he was the best general.

The general was indeed the best. He was invincible and personally fought in every battle. Many times he was at the front and he even went into the enemy camp to spy on the enemy's situation.

Everyone said that the general's military tactics were extraordinary, and every time he set up a formation, he could strangle a large number of enemy troops. It was because he firmly guarded the border that the people of Northern Qi could live a peaceful life. Even if not everyone could live a life of luxury, at least the world was peaceful. "

Zhou Shang kept praising General Ye, and even though he was poisoned by a chronic and lethal poison, he still didn't complain at all.

Ye Wenyan didn't understand, so she asked Zhou Shang: "The general poisoned you, why did you still speak for him?"

Zhou Shang replied: "Because compared to taking my life, the general is really kind to me. Miss, you only call him the general now, and refuse to call him father anymore. Actually, I feel very uncomfortable when I hear that.

But I don't blame you, nor do I say that this is bad. Just like what you said to Miss Wu at the gate of the mansion just now, whether a person is good or bad is not absolute. Just because he is not good to others does not mean he is not good to me. Maybe the general did owe and deceived the lady in the mansion and you young masters and young ladies, but he was very good to me.

Even if he poisoned me, it still couldn't offset the kindness he showed me."

Zhou Shang knelt down and told Ye Wenyan, "Our Zhou family was once a wealthy family. Because our ancestors passed down the skill of feeding horses, no matter whether they were government officials or people in the underworld, they would always send good horses to our door and ask my grandfather and father to help them feed them for a few months. When they came to pick up the horses a few months later, they would leave a large amount of silver.

Our family relied on this and lived a good life for three generations. Unfortunately, when it came to my fourth generation, my family was framed and my grandfather and father were sent to prison. After they came out, they were basically useless and sick. In order to treat their illnesses, we sold our property, but unfortunately we couldn't save their lives in the end. My mother was so desperate that she hanged herself. I was still young, so my relatives sold me to a man for money.

Later, I was bought by the Ye Mansion and worked in the mansion. I was actually very happy to have a place to stay, but I was also a little disappointed because I couldn't feed horses anymore. My family had passed on the skills to me a long time ago, but unfortunately I had a good skill but no place to display it. It was the general who had a good eye and picked me to go to the camp and let me feed the horses in the camp.

The general told me that the horses in the camp are to fight on the battlefield. They are like humans, with life and blood. Our soldiers must live, and our horses must also live well. Zhou Shang, if you can feed the horses well, you will be a great hero of Northern Qi.

Fourth Miss, you don't know that being a hero is the lifelong dream of all men. It was the general who made me realize this dream, so even if he wanted to kill me, I never blamed him. It's just..."

He paused here, his expression a little tangled, "It's just that the medical officer is innocent." "So you also think he did something wrong, right?"

"Yeah." Zhou Shang nodded. "It's not right. I don't understand why the general would do this. I still think that having a concubine is not a big deal. Having a child is nothing. Whose mistress doesn't have a few concubines and illegitimate children? Isn't the fifth lady also a concubine? Why did the general keep it a secret?"

Zhuier, who had been silent, could not help but said, "Why else? Because of the old lady. He and the old master have been fighting outside for many years, leaving the first lady at home as the mistress of the house. He must have thought that if he treated his first wife wholeheartedly, his first wife would also take care of his mother wholeheartedly at home."

If his wife knew that he had another woman outside, she would definitely be unhappy. If she gave the old lady a bad look, he would be very sad.

What did the young lady say? Yes, a sissy boy! The general is a sissy boy! "
