After being rejected, he emptied the mansion and went into exile

During their march, Xiang Hongxuan and General Lü would discuss strategies during their rest periods.

Shen Jinyao used to follow along, and Xiang Hongxuan would always bring up topics for her.

At first, General Lü was somewhat dissatisfied.

However, out of consideration for Xiang Hongxuan and the Shen family, he didn't say anything on the surface.

How could Shen Jinyao not see it?

She didn't take it to heart.

Xiang Hongxuan asked her to participate in the discussion simply because he wanted to hear different perspectives.

After several repetitions, General Lü's initial dissatisfaction gradually turned into a lack of resentment.

He had never known that Madam Xiang possessed such a keen military mind.

Putting aside everything else, all the books she brought were related to the Northern Xiongnu.

Knowing yourself and the enemy is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Every time Shen Jinyao participated in a discussion, her arguments were always reasonable and well-founded, and she was not arrogant because of General Xiang's favor.

He often thought, what if his Miaomiao...

Shen Zhixue's voice interrupted the group's conversation.

Then look at the third young master of the Shen family, who is now the third-ranked scholar. He should have been in the court assisting the powerful Marquis, but instead he appeared on the battlefield.

Although the boy's intentions were good, he was somewhat overconfident.

He listened quietly to the three elders of the Shen family speaking, and when he heard that there were young masters and ladies from the Shen family mixed into the group, he couldn't help but feel curious.

The Shen family is indeed large in number.

Unlike him, he only has his daughter, Miaomiao.

Presumably it was a family matter for the Shen family, General Lü and several deputy generals made an excuse and left.

Shen Jinyao glanced at Zhixin and Lanlan, who had their heads down.

Let's take another look at Shen Zhixue, who is furious.

Did these two completely refuse to cooperate with Zhixue when they saw him?

She gave Xiang Hongxuan a look.

Xiang Hongxuan nodded slightly.

Immediately, the two of them took turns taking one of them away.

When Shen Jinyao and Gao Qinlan passed by Shen Zhixue, they noticed that he looked rather disheveled.

His face was a little red, and upon closer inspection, it looked like a handprint.

Her hair, which had been neatly tied up, had a few strands falling loose beside her face.

This is nothing like Zhixue.

Did the three of them just make a move?

She glared fiercely at Shen Zhixin, who was looking over.

Shen Zhixin opened his mouth, but in the end he obediently followed General Xiang away.

Shen Jinyao looked at Gao Qinlan in front of her; she was now a grown woman.

She is only two years younger than Shen Leyao.

Since the two are already here, sending them back is not practical. We can only talk about the rules for the future.

"Sister Jin'er, I was wrong."

“It was my fault. I wanted to join the army as a military doctor, but my grandfather disagreed. But when Zhixin found out, he knew he couldn’t persuade me otherwise, so he came with me.”

"Originally, I wanted to go to the border of the Western Regions, but Zhixin said that if I came out, I could only join General Xiang's troops."

"We will protect ourselves and not cause any trouble for others, and what if you need us in the future?"

"Please, Sister Jin'er, don't be angry with Zhixin. He's most afraid of you getting angry."

Shen Jinyao found it amusing.

She originally planned not to pursue the matter, but this little girl blurted out so much on her own, essentially giving herself away.

When Lanlan was very young, she followed Doctor Gao to escape famine.

Later, she met the Shen family and became their playmate. The Shen family did not treat her as an outsider.

She observed that her parents didn't say much about the relationship between Lanlan and Zhixin.

It's very likely that this will be her future siblings.

Seeing Lanlan's tear-filled eyes as she tugged at her sleeve and spoke, she couldn't help but feel a mischievous urge to tease her.

"Oh? Is Zhixin afraid of me? But why do I feel like he listens to you more?"

Gao Qinlan blushed involuntarily.

"That's...that's because I'm her master."

The matter of my master is ancient history.

Shen Zhixin only called him "Master" a few times.

Shen Jinyao nodded meaningfully.

"Oh I got it."

Seeing that the little girl's ears were red and she lowered her head, she stopped teasing her.

Instead, he said seriously, "Lanlan, I know you have a strong sense of justice. Your family doesn't want you to suffer, and there's no way to change that."

As parents and family members, how could they possibly feel at ease leaving their children out in the world?

The child travels thousands of miles and the mother is worried.

"I just hope that you have enough ability to protect yourselves and don't get hurt."

Gao Qinlan nodded earnestly.

Sister Jin'er, does this mean you don't blame them?

Seeing that the mist in Gao Qinlan's eyes quickly dissipated, Shen Jinyao knew that the little girl had been acting coquettishly towards her again.

She spoke sternly, "But right now, I don't think either of you is that capable!"

Upon hearing this, Gao Qinlan looked up at the distance and whispered, "But we're no worse than Brother Shen. We both know how to use poison."

"Sister Song went to Brother Shen's place. The two of us will help you make drugs here!"

Shen Jinyao then rubbed her forehead.

The letter from the Marquis stated that the Shen family now consists of only a few elderly people, Xiao Jiu and Xiao Shi, and Shen Zhiye, who is tied down by business.

Shen Jinyao found it amusing when she recalled her father mentioning that he was a lonely old man.

It seems I've realized that getting angry is useless this time, so I can only try to play the victim.

It seems like both sides are taking good care of the Shen family.

Not much to ask for.

As long as I get back alive, that's enough!

"Okay, you guys are good at making drugs, but what if something goes wrong? We still need to be careful!"

"Since that's how it is, then just stay put in the army. I heard you're working with a military doctor in the logistics unit?"

Gao Qinlan understood everything she heard.

She shook off her earlier grievances and nodded happily.

Shen Jinyao: "You two can't fall behind every day. While others are resting, you two have to practice self-defense!"

Gao Qinlan: "Okay!!"

Shen Jinyao: "I will conduct spot checks on you!"

Gao Qinlan: "No problem."

Shen Jinyao: "This time it's not like when we were exiled to deal with men in black before, this is war, we can't play around with this!"

Gao Qinlan jumped up and down, eagerly declaring, "Don't worry, Sister Jin'er, Zhixue and I are currently researching poisons!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinyao thought...

That works too.

That's it.

"In the end, when war breaks out, no one can take care of anyone else, so take care of yourselves!"

Gao Qinlan waved her hand, "Don't worry, Sister Jin'er, we have plenty of medicine to get out of here."

Ok……

Remembering something, she asked softly, "Lanlan, were Zhixin and Zhixue fighting just now?"

She thought about it for a moment and found it unbelievable.

It should be noted that Shen Zhixue rarely speaks in the Shen family, but when he does, he can seize upon the opponent's Achilles' heel.

In summary, they are not to be trifled with.

They're all playing their cards openly; they're easy to guess.

Shen Zhixue, however, was a secret agent; no one knew what he was thinking.

Shen Zhixin has become bolder and dares to lay a hand on Shen Zhixue?

Upon hearing that it was related to Shen Sange, Gao Qinlan also whispered, "No, how could Zhixin dare? Zhixin only dares to bully Zhiye. Sister Jin'er, let me tell you..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jinyao held her breath.

Being slapped across the face by a lowly soldier?

This happened to Shen Zhixue?

Unbelievable!

She glanced back at Shen Zhixue, who was sitting on the ground, seemingly lost in thought. But she knew that Zhixue would definitely get his revenge!

She was just a little worried about the soldier, hoping he wouldn't cause any trouble.
