As soon as Li Qian and his two companions returned to their encampment, someone immediately sent word for them to go to General Guo's tent.

"We've been discovered? Did some bastard betray us?" Wang Yu asked, looking at Li Qian and Yang Gu.

"Are you scared now?" Li Qian raised an eyebrow at him.

"Bullshit! Of course I'm not afraid of anyone! I'm not afraid of anyone!" Wang Yu exploded upon hearing Li Qian's words!

Li Qian curled his lips into a sarcastic smile, then turned and walked towards General Guo's tent first.

Yang Gu patted him on the shoulder, walked past him, and said with a suppressed laugh, "Wang Yu, stand up straight, stop shaking your legs!"

Wang Yu looked down and thought, "I don't want to shake, but can I control it? Hey, wait for me, wait for me..."

"Nonsense, nonsense! Who gave you permission to enter the city without my permission?" General Guo was so angry that he smashed three teacups.

The three people knelt obediently on the ground like quails, not daring to breathe.

"Playing with a general's command? How dare you..." General Guo scolded them for a while, then picked up his teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Drinking like a cow," Wang Yu muttered.

"What did you say?" General Guo asked him again, not having heard him clearly.

"He didn't say anything."

"Answer me!" General Guo shouted, his voice booming.

“I’m telling you, drinking tea like that is a waste of good tea leaves,” Wang Yu blurted out, going all out.

"Ha!" General Guo laughed in exasperation at his nephew. "Drag them out! Take those three out and give them eighty lashes, life or death!"

"One"

"two"

"Ouch, ouch, be gentle."

"..."

Li Qian gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he listened to Wang Yu's shouts, wanting to tear this idiot apart alive.

Ningguo Marquis's Mansion

"Madam, it's late, you should go to bed." Granny Hua bent down and advised her mistress.

"Do you think he's still alive?" The Lady of the Marquis stroked the little clothes in front of her with great tenderness.

"Yes, Madam," said Granny Hua with a sigh.

"Where is he? Granny Hua, do you think I'll ever find him in my lifetime? Granny Hua, my heart aches so much! Every time I sleep, he appears in my dreams and questions me about why I'm so heartless!" The Lady of the Marquis pressed the small garment to her chest as if she were holding the most precious thing in the world.

“Madam…” Granny Hua didn’t know what to say, little did she know that she had suddenly lost contact with him all those years ago.

“He should be about the same height as the eldest young master, he should be well-educated and reasonable, able to distinguish right from wrong, and should look more like the master…” Madam Ning ignored Granny Hua and continued, “Granny Hua, how can the two of them, who are poor and old and weak, survive in this world? Will he be bullied? Will he go hungry and cold? Will he already be gone… Granny Hua, I’m so worried…” As Madam Ning thought about it, her lips turned white and tears streamed down her face.

"Madam, please don't overthink things. Take care of yourself." Granny Hua didn't know how the child was either. Oh, what a tragedy!

"Mother, Mother, let's go to the street tomorrow to watch the army enter the city! My brother said it's spectacular!" Lin Ruxue said excitedly to Lady Hou before even entering the room.

Upon hearing Lin Ruxue's voice, Lady Hou quickly wiped away her tears and tucked her clothes under the covers.

When Lin Ruxue came in, she saw the Lady Hou's flustered movements and wanted to find out what was going on: "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Nothing? What did you just say?" Lady Hou feigned composure and subtly changed the subject.

“Oh, right. Mother, let’s go to the street tomorrow to see General Guo enter the city. I’ve never seen him before.” Lin Ruxue immediately gave up her desire to find out and sat down next to Madam Hou.

"Nonsense! How can a young lady go out on her own?" Lady Hou said disapprovingly.

"Oh, Mother, you're the best! Let me go see, Mother..." Lin Ruxue approached the Lady Hou, tugging at her sleeve and shaking her back and forth, acting coquettishly.

"Oh dear, stop shaking me! You naughty girl, you're going to break my bones!" The Lady Hou doted on this daughter like the apple of her eye, and when she acted coquettishly, there was no reason not to respond.

"Mother is the best, hee hee!" Lin Ruxue left with a smile, her wish fulfilled.

"Her!" Lady Hou watched Lin Ruxue leave with doting eyes.
