r's mind. She was preoccupied with tidying up the vegetable patch in their small courtyard. 。A simple calculation shows that it will rain tomorrow, and it will take another half month for each househo...Though Mr. Jia Ren didn't raise his voice, each word seemed like a nail, hammering directly into the hearts of General Lu and Marshal Shen. It left both men feeling ashamed and angry, forcing them to lower their heads.

In the house, a deathly silence.

After a long silence, Jiarren smiled again. "Forgive me, General. I was a little too drunk and said a bit too much."

"By the way, our family caravan just arrived. Perhaps this time the Young Master is a bit busy with his wedding and didn't prepare anything for the General. "

"But my younger sister sent me a lot of new wine and snacks from Xindu. I shared some, offering them to the old general to try, please don't find them wanting."

General Feng quickly smiled and replied, "Thank you, Lord Li. Our place is remote, the wine and snacks are truly not as delicious as those in Xin Du."

Jia Ren smiled proudly and said, "I'm not boasting, but the dim sum in Xin Du is best made at my sister Bai Yun's shop."

My little sister was pampered growing up. She's skilled at needlework and embroidery, but her cooking skills are so amazing that even the Emperor praises them. The Marquis, leading his army in the north, still misses my sister's pastries when he receives letters from home.

"You see, our family and the Marquis have similar concerns. We both worry about finding a suitable match for my younger sister. The Emperor even wanted to arrange a marriage for her, but the Marquis firmly refused, fearing she would be treated poorly."

"My little sister is also very understanding. She rarely complains even when she suffers a bit of injustice. Otherwise, if the Marquis knew, he would probably bring back 100,000 troops and come to settle things immediately!"

General Shen looked quite embarrassed and stammered, "That's right, Your Grace is indeed blessed."

Jiā Rén saw the good and stopped, stood up to straighten his clothes, bowed politely, and said goodbye.

Having disturbed the old General and military advisor for so long, I should also take my leave. Another day, when I have free time, I will certainly come to visit the old General again!

General Shen quickly rose to see them off, while General Lu remained silent, clasped his fists in respect.

Jia Ren left Lu's house and, with his men, hurried back to Fengshan County overnight.

General Shen saw that there was no one in front of the door, so he hurried back to his study. Old General Lu had already slammed the table with such force that it shook the whole room, and he was furious.

"Disobedient son, you've really made me furious! I thought he was working hard in Xindu, so I sent him so many people and let him use as much money as he needed. I never expected him to use it for such despicable things!"

Shen Junshi wanted to persuade, but didn't know what to say.

It stands to reason that without asking the young master directly, we can't jump to conclusions.

But the Prince had always written saying how well the Li family was doing, and Li Jiaren was even a newly appointed top scholar serving as county magistrate nearby. From any angle, the Li family couldn't possibly have slandered the Prince without reason.

If what Li Jiaren said is true, then the prince's troubles could be very serious!

Even though he was in remote southwest, he had heard of the renowned name of Princess Kang Le.

The merchant caravan from the Hou Mansion searched for people and gems here two years ago, following orders from Lord Xin Tinghou to prepare a birthday gift for County Princess Kang Le.

That posture was simply searching the whole world, just to make their daughter happy.

Even now, with the Young Master eyeing him with such covetousness and pressure, even if Marquis Xinting is preoccupied at this crucial moment in the northern campaign, he will surely not let the culprit off when he returns victorious!

The more Shen Jun thought about it, the more worried he became. For a time, he was at a loss as to what to do.

General Lu, after his outburst of anger, calmed down and said, "Military advisor, I'll have to ask you to make a trip to Xindu."

Shen Junshi hesitated for a moment before replying, "General, although the battles outside the pass are not large-scale, they are continuous. My leaving at this time might put too much strain on you alone. Perhaps it would be better to send a letter to the young master, advising him..."

General Lu shook his head, "No, that wayward son appears to be clever and quick-witted, but if he truly gets stuck in a rut, it might take him half a day or more to come out."

Li Jiaren speaks harshly, but every word is true. If this matter is truly known to the royal family, not only will our Lu family be punished, but Li's family will also be implicated innocently.

"Princess Kangle is even more innocent. If this were to be exposed, it would hinder her future marriage prospects. Our Lu family has always been loyal and upright, and we would never do anything to harm a woman. "

Besides, with the northern campaign concluded and Marquis Xin'ting returning home, I fear that rebellious son won't be able to withstand his master's discipline. It's better we take action first to teach him a lesson, while still leaving some face for that disobedient child!

Having said that, he went to the wall and took down a golden whip, handing it to the military strategist.

"Take this golden whip to Xincheng. When you meet him, whip that rebellious son of mine twenty times first, and then reprimand him. Tell him that once the princess is pregnant, he must return immediately, or else he will be in grave danger."

"Life and death worry" the military advisor exclaimed, refuting, "General, you are probably overthinking it. The princess is pregnant, the royal family should be happy..."

The general shook his head, his expression heavier than ever before.

You underestimate the reach of the Royal Family. Nothing happens in this world without them knowing. The crown prince thinks he's been discreet, but destroying military supplies and sabotaging the Northern Campaign is a huge deal! There's no way he could have done it without leaving a trace.

If Marquis Xinting and the Li family know, then everyone in the world will know.

"Also, don't underestimate a woman's intelligence. As the Crown Prince's consort, a princess would see through his thoughts every morning and evening. If she didn't care deeply for him, that would be one thing, but if…"

The old general sighed, "If love runs deep, so does hatred. Once the princess is pregnant, this child will carry the royal and Lu family bloodlines, and in the future, they'll be able to take over the military power I hold now.

"This son-in-law, who betrayed his wife and trampled on the dignity of a princess, has no right to exist!"

The military advisor remained silent for a long time, finally only adding, “General, don’t worry too much. What if the princess doesn’t find out, or gives birth to a girl…”

The old general waved his hand dismissively. "Whether it's a boy or a girl, it's not a problem for the royal family. Even if we truly had a daughter, we could just find a boy outside and claim he was fathered by the princess. Could the Lu family dare to challenge this with a blood test!"

The military advisor was speechless……

At this moment, in the Princess's Mansion of Xindu, a figure was moving on the bed in the bedroom.

The Third Princess didn't know that her stepfather had already guessed her thoughts.

Of course, she wasn't afraid either.

Being born into royalty, one has the capital to be arrogant.

Moreover, the fault lies with the Lu family!

It's really not easy for Jia Ren to take people on a trip to the border.

Lao He's caravan traveled day and night to Fengshan County. After reading the letter from home, he knew his sister had been wronged and wished to fly back to Xin Du immediately to kill Lu Zong and avenge her.

When he left Beijing, he had clearly told Lu Cong that this matter should be kept hidden in his stomach, and he should never reveal even a hint of it for the rest of his life.

He clearly agreed, but in the end, he still broke his promise and did something so disgraceful.

But he had no wings and could not return to Xindu, so he could only rush to the border and ask the Lu family for help.

If the Lu family refuses to discipline him, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

He didn't need to do anything, just write a letter to Dr. Zhang, and Dr. Zhang wouldn't wait even one night to silently take Lu Zong's life.

This matter has escalated to this point, it must be that the younger sister softened her heart and didn't dare tell Zhang Shenyi about this!

Lao Hei was worried about the safety on the road this time, so he brought along a dozen or so brothers to go out with the young master.

Riding on horseback, he noticed that the young master's face was not looking good and dared not speak.

As we were still ten or so miles away from Fengshan County, a towering inferno could be seen in the distance!
