“General, I’ll take my leave.”

Yan Nuo glanced at An Jiuyue and said to Qian Jiyun before following her out of the tent.

“General, that lady is…”

Deputy General Sun and the others stared at Qian Jiyun curiously after An Jiuyue left.

“Princess Consort Zhanyun of the Second Rank,” Qian Jiyun replied.

“Huh?” The deputy generals were dumbfounded as they looked at Qian Jiyun.

As Qian Jiyun’s deputy generals, they were his trusted aides and knew what had happened back then.

“General, are you saying that the lady is… is… is the princess consort?”

“General, you’ve found the princess consort?”

How could they not be shocked? They knew he had been searching for the princess consort for five years.

Even the emperor knew the general would often leave the military camp to search for the princess consort. The emperor had turned a blind eye to his frequent absence for he was responsible for what happened back then.

Despite not admitting it, the emperor was fully aware of this.

…

Xue Ling was tied up by the soldiers and thrown back into the tent she was staying in.

Of course, she was not treated as well as before. Many things in the tent had been removed. Even the teacups had been replaced with the most ordinary white porcelain tea set.

“Let go! Let go of me!”

Although she was still tied up, she no longer had her arms tied behind her back and a rope looped around her neck. Instead, an iron collar hung around her neck with a long chain connected.

A 150-kilogram iron ball was attached to the other end of the iron chain, anchoring it.

In any case, it was impossible for Xue Ling to pick up the big iron ball, let alone escape with it.

However, Xue Ling was free to move around in the tent. The soldiers did not have to worry she would escape again, nor did they have to wait on her hands and feet.

“What are you looking at, you good-for-nothing!”

Xue Ling glared fiercely at Xiao Zhu, whom she had abandoned.

Xiao Zhu shrank back. She was a little afraid, but she was angrier at Xue Ling.

Back at the Xue Residence, the family head had asked the maids if they were willing to serve the young lady in the military camp.

The other maids were unwilling as they felt that living in the military camp was difficult and that the young lady had a bad temper.

She was the only one who volunteered to come bravely.

She thought Xue Ling would treat her well if she served her quickly. She might put her in an important position, at the very least.

She did not expect Xue Ling to abandon her after she risked her life to take care of her. Xue Ling even used her to divert the soldiers’ attention and almost sent her to their beds!

She wished she could chop Xue Ling into pieces with a knife!

However, she knew she could not do that now. Xue Ling had killed two soldiers, but Prince Zhanyun had spared her. He must have some use for her.

Would she be able to leave alive if she killed Xue Ling?

Therefore, she had to endure it and wait for this epidemic to pass before dealing with that vicious woman!

“What are you still looking at? You idiot! Can’t you see that I’m sitting here? Hurry up and serve me tea and snacks!” Xue Ling shouted at Xiao Zhu in anger.

The corners of Xiao Zhu’s mouth curled up with sarcasm.

Tea and snacks?

The teapot on the table was empty, and there was no need to think about it—there were no snacks. Perhaps Xue Ling could dream of some and have a bite in her dreams.
