General's Estate.

"Madam, another giver has come." Phantom Shadow felt very helpless.

"Just send him away." Wang Jing Rou was very straightforward.

Since she was married to Chu Jingli, she had to use him as an example.

"Yes." After retreating like a shadow, the person that came to meet him was a familiar person.

"Yunyao, long time no see."

"Yeah, I was bored in the palace so I came to find you." Currently, the two oldest masters of the palace were no longer around. As a servant, she could also be considered to be someone whose 'ambition was hard to earn'.

Ru Ying took her hand and said, "Since you've come, you should stay at the general's estate for a few more days. I can help you talk to Young Master."

"This might not be in keeping with the rules." She was a little hesitant.

"It's not against the rules. No one cares about you right now." Ru Ying did her best to persuade her. "Once Young Master and Madam have fully recovered, we'll set out on our journey and continue to search for the Emperor's whereabouts."

Indeed, this condition was still tempting. She nodded and readily agreed.

"However, why do you change your name to Madam now? Weren't they incompatible in the past?" She purposely teased him.

"People change. After getting along with her, I feel that she's a pretty good woman, pretty compatible with Young Master."

"It's good that you're free." At first, she was still worried, but if Ruo Ying and Wang Jing Rou did not get along for a long time, it would be difficult for the general to be in the middle.

Now that the matter had been resolved, it was a good thing.

"Let's go. Follow me to send away those guests who sent gifts. You don't even know how annoying they are."

"It's normal to have such a big tree, but the general probably doesn't like it." She spoke very objectively.

"Young Master doesn't like them at all. He simply hates them. When I send them off, I always try to persuade him kindly. If it were Young Master, he wouldn't have such a good temper."

The two women walked towards the main hall as they spoke.

Chu Jingli walked over to Wang Jing's soft place and took out a golden hairpin from his chest pocket, "I don't know which style you like, I just randomly picked one."

Wang Jing Rou smiled gently: "As long as it's a gift from you, I like it. Come, help me insert it."

This was a gift from her husband. Although it wasn't a priceless gift, in her heart, it was worth more than a thousand gold.

"Madam, you don't have to say it. Ever since you took over, the expenses of the general's estate have been reduced."

Before Wang Jing Rou got married, although she didn't waste money on her family, she spent quite a bit of money.

Now that she had entered her husband's house, she had been very thrifty and virtuous.

"No matter what others say, we will live our own lives and stick to what we think is right." She said this very sensibly.

"Let's go, madam. Do you still want to eat Cloud Swallowing?" This couple had recently become infatuated with the Cloud Swallowing Art made by an old lady.

"Alright, how about we bring some back to Ruo Ying as well?" Wang Jing Rou treated her servant well, and it was very compatible with the word 'soft' in her name.

Chu Jingli did not understand, "How do we take them?"

"Darling, you really are confused." Wang Jing Rou purposely teased, "Can't you just bring the food basket?"

Chu Jingli was ashamed, "Madam is indeed intelligent."

Thus, the couple sneaked out through the back door.

When they arrived on the main street, the crowd was bustling with activity, and they were all discussing the great general's meritorious service to the enemy.

Wang Jing Rou listened patiently, but in the end, she heard — Amudu was actually killed by her husband.

The rumors were too frightening. There was no wind or waves.

She could testify that Amudu's death had nothing to do with General Xuan.

Although she was happy to be praised for her man's achievements, she found it hard to accept such false rumors.

Chu Jingli quickly stopped him, "Forget it, let them say what they want. If you go and clarify it, then you can only make things worse."

Our great general ate the cloud with equanimity.

"I'll just listen to my husband." Wang Jing Rou normally wouldn't retort with what he said.

A sharp-eyed person stared at Chu Jingli for a long time and muttered, "This person, why does he look like a great general?"

"Did you see wrongly? Will the great general come to this kind of place to eat?" Someone interrupted.

"But it really does look like it." The man looked at it for a long time before he shouted, "The great general is here! I had the pleasure of meeting him once. He is the Great General. "

Chu Jingli saw that his identity had been exposed, so he remained calm and collected. Suddenly, he grabbed his basket with his left hand, grabbed Wang Jing Rou's hand with his right hand, and ran away while the others weren't paying attention.

As a great general, it was rare for him to be in such a sorry state.

The people behind were relentlessly chasing him. It was with great difficulty that they finally got the chance to see the awe-inspiring great general. How could they just let him go like this?

The two of them ran, and the group chased after them. Finally, they turned into a medicine store.

"General, Madam, you should hide here for now. I presume they won't suspect this place." Suyun gave them a reassured smile.

This medicine store was the property of the Zhao Family. This Chu Jingli could be considered half a master of this place.

"Yes." Wang Jing Rou nodded, "This time, it's all thanks to you saving us in time. Otherwise, who knows how much trouble we'll get into."

Those commoners were simply too crazy. How could they be so infatuated with their husband?

"Madam is serious." At this point in time, his performance on the battlefield had left a shadow in his heart. As such, he could not afford to listen to others praise him.

"However, Madam, I still have to remind you guys that it's better not to go out recently. I wonder how many people in this world want to curry favor with the great general?"

When a person became famous and powerful, it was easy to summon a "pink butterfly".

"You're right." Wang Jing Rou nodded, "Husband, why don't we leave as soon as possible to find the whereabouts of the emperor?"

It seemed like he wouldn't be able to stay in the capital anymore.

Chu Jingli had listened to her words and agreed. Moreover, he was worried about the safety of the emperor. If he left early, he would have more hope.

It was already afternoon by the time he returned to the manor. Wang Jing Rou had sweated from running so fast, although she was dry now, her body still felt uncomfortable, so she went to take a bath.

Chu Jingli entered his study and sent someone to invite the Prime Minister and Prince Fukai to discuss the matter.

"This general invited you out of the blue. Sir, please forgive me." Chu Jingli first expressed his apology.

The Prime Minister waved his hand, "It's fine."

"The reason I've called you two here today is to inform you two of something. This general has decided to set out in the future and trace the whereabouts of the Emperor."

After all, they had been missing for so long, and there was no sign of them. It was a cause for concern.

"General Chu's loyalty is clear to see; we admire him." The Prime Minister clasped his hands.

Chu Jingli smiled, "The Prime Minister speaks very seriously. As the Prime Minister and Prince Ying are diligent in their work, taking over the imperial government in place of the Emperor, the people of Jiang Shan are able to accomplish a great service."

It could be said that the temporary stability of the imperial court could not be sustained without the support of the three of them.

Oh, my lord, my lord, come back quickly, the people of Xuansui need you.
