Rebirth of a Female General

Chapter 254 Everything is ready
Regarding Guo Jia's reminder, Yan Qing smiled, "If the source of the rumors is dealt with, it won't take long to take over the frontier defense."

Guo Jia's eyes flashed, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Are you all ready?"

"almost."

Yan Qing answered ambiguously.

Guo Jia asked: "What else is there?"

Yan Qing raised his eyelashes to look at her, and suddenly smiled, "You still need your father's statement. Even if a Beijing official released outside made a big mistake, as a rule, he should be taken into custody and reported to the Ministry of Punishment, and then escorted back to Beijing before making a decision. Although I There are some privileges, but if your father does his best to protect this person, I can't do too much."

"That's really a problem."

Guo Jia pursed her lips, "He has been friends with his father for many years, and with his father's personality, if there is no direct evidence that his crime is unforgivable, he might really protect his shortcomings."

"That's not called protecting one's shortcomings, it's called covering up."

Yan Qingdao, "If a person does something that violates morality, does not involve the law, and does not endanger others, it can still be defended. Those who break the law, commit crimes, and commit crimes should be clearly rewarded and punished."

"As for the evidence, these days it's really... harvest, harvest, quite, abundant."

Yan Qing bit his words one by one, his voice turned cold.

Hearing her tone, Guo Jia vaguely guessed that the matter behind this was probably far more serious than what she knew.

"I'll go talk to my father."

Guo Jia lowered his tone.

"That's hard work, Ms. Guo."

Yan Qing gently pulled the corners of his lips, "The deadline is approaching, and I must go to the Defense Division tomorrow."

Knowing that she was about to close the net, Guo Jia nodded and said, "I believe my father is not a person who doesn't know right from wrong."

"I think so too."

After Yan Qing said this, he stopped talking.

After listening to a storytelling, the two left the teahouse and returned to the Hou Mansion.

As soon as Guo Jia stepped into the Hou's residence, Guo Yu, the housekeeper, greeted her, "Miss is back, Master Hou is waiting for you at Shensi Zhai, please come over there when you come back, and have dinner with Madam."

Guo Jia lowered his eyes slightly, glanced at Yan Qing, and said, "Understood, please greet Lord Yan for me."

Guo Yu responded, and after Guo Jia left, he led Yan Qing to the guest room.

"Madam of your mansion is the younger sister of Mr. Bu Shen Xingbu, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple?"

Yan Qing seemed to ask unintentionally.

"Yes."

Regarding this well-known fact, Guo Yu did not deliberately conceal it, "Madam and Lord Hou are childhood sweethearts, knowledgeable and sensible, and treat people with kindness first. It's a pity that the beauty is so unlucky that she passed away within half a year after giving birth to the young lady."

"It's a pity."

Yan Qing sighed, and asked again, "Since Madam has passed away, today..."

Yan Qing seemed to be deliberating over his words, not daring to finish his words easily, for fear of breaking a taboo.

Guo Yu understood Yan Qing's question very well, "Today is Madam's birthday. Unless the war is tight, Lord Hou will spend this day with Madam every year. After Madam leaves, Master Hou and Miss will be together on this day Go to Shensi Zhai to have dinner, guarding madam's tablet, and spending her birthday with madam."

"I see."

Yan Qing said, "Master Hou and his wife have a deep relationship, which is enviable."

"It's just a pair of poor people."

Guo Yu shook his head and sighed.

Yan Qing's eyes flickered slightly, and from the corner of his eye, he glanced at Guo Yu, who was full of hair, and asked, "I heard that Master Wu is not only a classmate with Lord Hou, but also has a good relationship with Madam?"

Guo Yu paused slightly, but quickly adjusted to normal, and replied, "Master Wu is my wife's cousin."

"It turns out that Master Wu and Lord Hou are still relatives."

Yan Qing suddenly nodded.

This is in line with Yan Qi's information.

In this way, although Wu Fang put Guo Jia under house arrest in his previous life, he did not kill him. Afterwards, Guo Jia escaped and did not pursue him very much.

"My lord, the bamboo garden is here."

Yan Qing woke up from his contemplation, but found that he had already reached the gate of Zhuyuan before he knew it.

"My lord, let's rest first, the old slave will send someone to bring dinner later."

Guo Yu said.

"Butler Guo is tired."

Yan Qing thanked him and was waiting to enter the yard when he saw Guo Yu standing where he was.

Yan Qing was puzzled, "Is Housekeeper Guo still busy?"

Guo Yu took a deep look at her, bowed his head, and said something inexplicable, "Although Lord Hou loves Miss very much, but if Miss does something wrong, she must speak harshly and not show favoritism at all."

Hearing this, Yan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly, curved his lips slightly, and said, "Your Majesty distinguishes between public and private, which is admirable."

Guo Yu nodded, got up and left.

After a while, someone brought food.

Hong Zhuang took the medicine and walked to the bamboo garden with the man.

"It's ready to close the net."

Yan Qing took the medicine bowl and said to Hong Zhuang, "The soldiers borrowed from the Northland are ready to use. Anyone involved in this matter counts as one, so don't miss out."

The red makeup responded, signaling her to take the medicine first.

Looking at the black soup in the medicine bowl, Yan Qing wrinkled his nose, and drank it all in one gulp.

Heart-soaked bitterness filled the entire mouth, with a slight sourness and a strong fishy smell.

Even Yan Qing, who was used to drinking bitter medicine, couldn't help being choked by the taste.

"Changed the prescription?"

Yan Qing asked with a bitter face.

Hong Zhuang nodded, "Old Mu said before that we will get the new medicine in January. This is what Hongying just delivered today, and there will be new ones next month."

"and also?"

Yan Qing's face was full of bitterness.

"There is still half a year of treatment."

Hong Zhuang watched Yan Qing's rare face change, which was funny, but she couldn't laugh, "As for the future, Mr. Mu will personally see your situation before making a decision."

Yan Qing was speechless, and after a while smiled wryly: "I don't think I'm that sick."

"Looking at how you are alive and kicking all day, it really doesn't look like you are terminally ill."

Hong Zhuang smiled and echoed her words, "Maybe this medicine is not for curing diseases, but for nourishing the body. You have been seriously injured several times, and it is inevitable that you will suffer from blood deficiency."

Although she said what seemed to be a joke, the eyes of the red makeup felt uncomfortable.

She decocted the medicine with her own hands, and seeing those medicines with her own eyes, she knew that what she said was nothing but self-deception.

Yan Qing didn't seem to see Hong Zhuang's expression, and was rather distressed, "This tonic is too unpalatable."

"Mulao's medicine always tastes bad, but the effect is very good."

Hong Zhuang cleaned up the medicine bowl, put the food on the table, handed over the chopsticks, and said coaxingly to a child, "It will be fine after a while."

Yan Qing sighed, "This food smells delicious, and when you eat it, it smells like medicine."

Hong Zhuang picked up some strong-flavored dishes with chopsticks for her to suppress the taste, and persuaded her: "This medicine must be taken before meals to have the best effect."

Even though he complained, Yan Qing didn't mention the medicine.

She also needs to live longer.

Just as the bowls were served at Zhuyuan, the dinner at Shen Si Zhai was coming to an end.

After the leftovers on the table were cleared away, Guo Youning looked at Bu Shensi's memorial tablet and said, "In the blink of an eye, it's been 16 years, and Jia'er has reached the age to say goodbye, but this girl runs after her little girl's ass every day." Ma'am, what do you think this should do?"
