After Li Shuangwan had a heart-to-heart talk with Madam He that day, Madam He immediately calmed people's hearts. Although the women and children were still worried and frightened, and heartbroken, they were no longer as panicked as they were on the first day. They just stayed in the mansion waiting for news.

The masters straightened their backs, and the servants trapped in the mansion also straightened their backs quietly, and did what they were supposed to do as usual.

Occasionally, Madam He would bring her family members to deliver hot soup and tea to the imperial guards who were standing in the cold wind.

This made the imperial guards who were besieging the General's Mansion look at each other in bewilderment, as if they had such a noble character in the He family. General He would never disregard the lives of thousands of soldiers for a little bit of military merit.

Moreover, what Madam He said was right. The military achievements of the General's Mansion were enough and were not inferior to those of the General's Mansion. There was no need for General He to sacrifice all the good men of the He family and 30,000 soldiers of the He family for such a trivial matter.

The so-called reckless advance, greed for merit, and stubborn use of troops may really have other hidden reasons.

……

Li Shuangwan and his companions had lunch at a farm in the suburbs before going to the villa.

Chen Ping rode a horse to protect the carriage and said, "Princess, I just received news that the fourth girl from General He's mansion was nearly bullied by one of the imperial guards today."

Li Shuangwan suddenly lifted the car curtain and asked, "How is Miss He Si?"

Seeing his princess's face so ugly, Chen Ping hurriedly said, "Nothing happened. Old Madam He stopped her. Zheng Xinjiang whipped the man 20 times and expelled him from the imperial guards."

Chen Ping was a first-rate intelligence gatherer, and his ability to handle affairs was beyond reproach. Following Li Shuangwan's suggestion, he used the small change in his hands and within ten days, he recruited all the beggars in Shengjing City as his own.

After the incident at General He's mansion, the princess asked him to bring more beggars to guard the vicinity of General He's mansion, and secretly keep an eye on the women in the mansion. If there is anything unusual, make a noise immediately and make sure to protect them.

Li Shuangwan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing like what happened in his previous life happened.

In her previous life, Madam He fell ill due to the heavy blow she suffered when her husband and son suddenly met with a disaster. After Emperor Jingzhang ordered the closure of General He's mansion, the entire mansion was left without a leader and fell into chaos.

The fourth lady He was insulted by a guard in her own room in broad daylight. She was heartbroken, but no one in the mansion stood up for her. She reported the case to the commander of the guards, Zheng Xinjiang, and asked him to seek justice. Unfortunately, Zheng Xinjiang didn't care at all.

However, the one who pushed her to the brink of death was not the imperial guard who insulted her, nor was it Zheng Xinjiang who allowed things to develop without doing anything, but her biological mother.

Her mother, Mrs. Lin, thought that she had brought shame to the He family and shamelessly reported her to Zheng Xinjiang. In grief and anger, she cursed at her for not wanting to die and for having the nerve to live.

Miss He Si, who was physically and mentally traumatized, returned to her room and committed suicide with a white silk thread.

What was infuriating was that when the other imperial guards heard that the imperial guard had tasted the sweetness, the commander-in-chief didn't even ask a single question, but broke into the general's mansion in batches that night and insulted all the women in the He family.

In the following days, several bodies were carried out from General He's mansion.

Fortunately, fortunately in this life, Mrs. He did not let the tragedy happen again, and Zheng Xinjiang also severely punished the main culprit.

No one dared to look down on the women of the He family anymore.

Li Shuangwan: "Chen Ping, thank you for telling them not to take it lightly."

Chen Ping: "Yes, don't worry, Princess. They all listen to me now."

……

The villa is very large. If it were spring, it would surely be full of colorful flowers and lush greenery, and would be extremely beautiful.

Unfortunately, it is winter now, and there is a dry and withered atmosphere everywhere. The whole villa is empty except for being big, and the howling north wind can penetrate every corner.

In a house without carbon for heating, the villa is as cold as an ice cellar in winter.

Anyone would go crazy if they stayed in such a place for one day, let alone Zhou Caiyao who stayed there for four whole days.

If we talk about cruelty, it has to be the second uncle. She didn't expect to send Zhou Caiyao to this place.

Chen Ping opened the gate of the villa and invited Li Shuangwan in.

Zhou Caiyao, who was huddled in the room with a quilt wrapped around her to keep warm, was frightened when she heard the noise. She stood up and shook the quilt to the ground.

She rushed to the dressing table and put powder on her face.

She calculated very accurately that she was about 70% similar to Princess Heng, the eldest daughter of the general's mansion.

She felt guilty and afraid. That day at the Lu Mansion, she said she didn't know when her birthday was. The day her adoptive parents saw her was the seventh day of the eighth month of the first year of Jingzhang.

But she knew very well that her birthday was October 13th.

It may be true that there is a daughter lost in the General's Mansion, but it is definitely not her.

She didn't want to do this, but a few years ago, when she saw the woman on horseback talking and laughing with a woman next to her, and when the onlookers said that she looked very similar to the girl from the General's Mansion, and when more and more people said this, a crazy idea kept growing in her mind.

She couldn't sit still any longer until it took root and sprouted.

She knew that doing so was very dangerous and would most likely lead to eternal damnation. As a mother, she knew very well whether or not she would give birth to twins.

But they look so similar, wouldn't it be fine as long as she doesn't take the initiative to say that she is the daughter of the General's Mansion and let others mistake her for her?

If the lady had not been pregnant with twins, seeing that the girl looked so much like her own daughter, she would not have been able to blame her and might even have adopted her as her adopted daughter.

What if she was extremely lucky and the lady was really pregnant with twins, but the other one died young?

Aren’t wealth and glory all achieved by risking one’s life?

The princes are fighting to the death for the throne, and the risk to her is not that great.

She had a good voice, so she went to the Lotus class immediately and was successfully accepted.

It was God's gift for her. Since she entered the Lotus Class, not only has the Lotus Class become famous, but she has also been recognized by more and more people.

In the past few years, the Lotus Squad has traveled to many places, and the places they have visited most often are the mansions of the rich and powerful. In addition, she was also interested in finding out about the affairs of the General's Mansion.

Surprisingly, she once found out from the wife of a vice minister who was visiting her hometown that the general's wife had given birth to twins, but coincidentally, the later-born baby girl died.

Isn't it God's will that she become the daughter of the General Guarding the Nation?

She immediately encouraged the class owner to come to Shengjing City.

So, when they first entered Shengjing City and heard that the Lu Mansion was going to hold a birthday party for the old lady, she talked to the troupe owner, and the troupe owner readily agreed to go to the Lu Mansion.

After all, over the past few years, she has traveled all over the country with the troupe and has seen so much.

At a banquet like this, there shouldn't be too many ladies and young ladies attending.
