After Shi Tiezhu left, Wan Shitong looked through the villa's account books.

He felt it was time for him to expand his career elsewhere. He could manage more resorts for his eldest sister and train more people…

From now on, wherever my eldest sister goes, she'll have her own people...

In this way, he can be considered to have lived up to his elder sister's trust and guidance.

However, all this money belongs to Ji Yunshuang, and her consent must be obtained before it can be used.

I just don't know where my older sister went, and how can I contact her?

Meanwhile, Ji Yunshuang, who was being talked about by the know-it-all, was currently squeezed into a narrow crevice in the artificial hill of the Qiu residence with Lu Yinheng.

Their bodies were pressed tightly together, feeling each other's tension and his shallow breathing, and Ji Yunshuang was somewhat speechless.

She had already planned for them to split up.

Lu Yinheng led her soldiers, working in concert with the soldiers she had recruited, to take down the Zhenwu Guard's forces.

She then devised a plan to control Yue Lingwei, the commander of the Dingbian Guard, and coerce him into obeying her orders.

However, Lu Yinheng thought it was too dangerous for her to carry out the mission alone and wanted to go with her.

It would indeed be difficult for her to control a garrison all by herself. However, Ji Yunshuang had already inquired a lot about Dingbian Garrison and Yue Lingwei beforehand.

She was confident that with her martial prowess and the help of spatial abilities, she should have no problem. Naturally, she refused Lu Yinheng's request to travel with her.

But she didn't expect that he would secretly follow her.

Just as she was about to be discovered, he stepped in to save her, and the two of them hid together in a narrow crevice behind the artificial hill.

Actually, Ji Yunshuang had planned to find a place to hide in her spatial dimension. She just didn't expect him to suddenly appear.

His appearance disrupted her plans.

Now, Ji Yunshuang has to reconsider what she should do next.

Now that there's another person by my side, my previous plans are no longer valid.

Just as Ji Yunshuang was deep in thought, the person next to her moved, and the two of them got even closer.

Just as she was feeling a little uncomfortable, Lu Yinheng leaned down slightly and whispered in her ear, "The person has already left."

Ji Yunshuang came to her senses, but she didn't move. Instead, she said with a hint of reproach, "Who sent you?"

Because the two were still hiding in the crevices of the artificial hill, she didn't dare to speak loudly. Instead of sounding intimidating, her voice carried a hint of intimacy.

Lu Yinheng's Adam's apple bobbed, and he said in a low voice, "If you wouldn't let me come, I had no choice but to come secretly."

"What about over there?" Ji Yunshuang didn't notice his change. If it weren't for the inappropriate time and place, she would have wanted to deal with him using military law.

Lu Yinheng said, "Don't worry, I've made thorough arrangements, there won't be any problems. On the contrary, we can't be careless on this side."

Don't underestimate Yue Lingwei. I know you must have asked around about him, but he's not the person the rumors say he is.

Ji Yunshuang asked, "How is it different?"

Lu Yinheng said, "What you're asking about is that he only has one wife and one son, loves his wife dearly, and didn't have any more children because his first wife almost had a difficult childbirth?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded subconsciously, forgetting that they were hiding in the crevices of the cave, and Lu Yinheng's lips were right next to her ear as he spoke to her. With this movement, her ear was immediately pressed against something warm and wet.

Upon realizing what it was, both of them froze.

Lu Yinheng's ears burned instantly. He straightened up and pretended that nothing had happened.

Ji Yunshuang also tried to ignore the touch from before and focused her attention on Yue Lingwei.

The information she had gathered at the time indicated that Yue Lingwei was a rare good man who cared deeply for his wife and children. She did intend to win him over first, and then use his wife and children to persuade him to work for her.

Of course, if he remained defiant to the death, she didn't necessarily have to use his ideas. She could take over the garrison's forces through other means.

However, judging from Lu Yinheng's expression, it seems that's not the case.

She asked, "Is there some hidden story?"

Ji Yunshuang's words pulled Lu Yinheng's thoughts back to his past life.

Yue Lingwei's reputation for loving his wife was well-known throughout the country in his previous life. Therefore, when the two armies were at war, someone captured his wife and children in an attempt to threaten him.

But without batting an eye, he shot and killed his wife and children. Afterwards, he fought against the enemy...

From then on, he earned a reputation for sacrificing his wife and children for the greater good of his country.

Even though he was a close confidant of Prince Duan, Prince Rui still respected his righteousness and gave him important positions after ascending the throne.

It could be said that after his wife and children died, his career progressed smoothly. But then something happened, and everyone realized that things were not so simple.

He never loved his wife and children. The reason he created the image of loving his wife dearly was because, as a military officer, he had considered this possibility in advance.

Moreover, the person he truly loved was actually his sister-in-law.

Like Yue Lingwei, Yue Lingxiao was a military officer, but he injured his leg in a battle and could no longer go to the battlefield. He later retired from the army and returned home to manage the Yue family business.

Not long after, he married his childhood sweetheart, Ms. Guan.

Guan grew up with the Yue brothers, and her marriage to Yue Lingxiao was arranged when they were children.

But no one knew that Guan and Yue Lingwei had already developed feelings for each other. After Guan married Yue Lingxiao, she secretly maintained an immoral relationship with Yue Lingwei.

Later, after Yue Lingwei's wife died, he never remarried, not because he was too heartbroken or because he was keeping a chastity for his wife.

The reason he wanted to marry her was because she was his sister-in-law; he simply couldn't marry her. This affair only came to light because Yue Lingxiao caught them having an affair, and the scandal escalated, eventually making it public.

Lu Yinheng didn't tell Ji Yunshuang about his past life, but whispered in her ear, "According to my information, the person he loves is not his wife, but his sister-in-law."

If you want to use his family members as leverage, you should choose his sister-in-law, not his wife.

Ji Yunshuang silently processed the huge amount of information in his words and said, "Then let's go to his sister-in-law's courtyard first."

Lu Yinheng gave a soft "hmm".

Seeing that he didn't move, Ji Yunshuang asked again, "Do you know which hospital his sister-in-law is in?"

Lu Yinheng honestly replied, "I don't know."

Before Ji Yunshuang arrived, she asked someone to inquire about Yue Lingwei's whereabouts, but she hadn't had a chance to visit the Yue family's courtyard yet.

She didn't know where Yue Lingwei's sister-in-law lived.

As she was thinking, Lu Yinheng took her hand and said, "Although I don't know much about it, I have a general idea of ​​the layout of houses built by wealthy families. Come with me."

After saying that, he led Ji Yunshuang out of the crevice of the artificial hill.

The two bypassed the guards and arrived at the Ling family's backyard.
