Zhou Feiren, who originally wanted to hear what was going on, was so angry that his face turned red, but he could not say anything.

In the end, he could only fling his sleeves and leave without even saying goodbye.

“Hey, Old Wu, follow Deputy Commander Zhou and give him one tael of silver. Then, take back the tenant contracts of those tenants.”

Although Jia Jingzhong looked the most normal—no, the most refined—in General Zhanbei’s residence, he was still a general.

His voice was so loud that everyone in the courtyard could hear it clearly. Zhou Feiren was so angry that he almost fell.

One tael of silver was really like dismissing a beggar.

“Uncle Jia, did I cause you trouble?”

Ye Qingge lowered her head as she spoke, looking like a child who had made a mistake.

One could not bear to criticize her.

“What’s so troublesome about that? We don’t care about those despicable people.”

Oh, that’s good. Actually, I was asking casually.

Ye Qingge raised her head and looked at Jia Jingzhong. The latter continued leisurely, “Besides, he’s going to be in trouble soon.”

F*ck! So that’s what happened!

I was wondering why you didn’t care about him at all. You didn’t even give him respect.

I almost thought that it was really because of me, you sly old fox.

“But someone wants to fuck with him?”

Ye Qingge couldn’t help but ask. She wasn’t interested in politics, but she was interested in understanding how evil people suffered.

“Of course, it’s someone who wants to… What’s going on? You’re a young lady. Why are you so careless with your words?”

Jia Jingzhong changed his words in time and almost fell into a ditch.

“Then you can’t blame me. My foster father speaks like this. Haven’t I been influenced by him?”

Ye Qingge had an aggrieved look on her face as she spoke as if it was true.

She did not even think that she had only known Li Da for a few days. How did he dye her like this?

“This old man is really inhumane. He has led such a good child astray.”

Jia Jingzhong cursed and blamed him for leading the child astray.

Far away on the northern battlefield, the scapegoat Li Da, who was lecturing the soldiers, suddenly sneezed twice.

Looking at the soldiers on the training ground, he blew his beard and glared at them. “Damn it, which one of you is scolding me in your hearts? We’ll train for four more hours today!”

The soldiers: “… I’m innocent. I really didn’t scold you.”

“Uncle Jia, why do you think Zhou Feiren is going to be unlucky?”

Ye Qingge was in high spirits. She had another understanding of the name Zhou Feiren.

“Sigh, there are a lot of things involved. Forget it, you just have to know that he will be unlucky soon.”

Jia Jingzhong originally wanted to tell Ye Qingge about it, but when he thought about how complicated things were in the imperial court.

He was afraid that even if he said it, this girl might not understand.

Ye Qingge nodded and did not continue asking.

Actually, it was not a big deal. Wasn’t it just a party competition?

You killed my men today, I’ll kill yours tomorrow.

As the saying goes, the party fights for a moment of pleasure, and the entire family is cremated.

This was probably the case since ancient times.

However, she did not know which team General Zhanbei was on. It would be better for her to understand the current political situation another day.

After all, she had a relationship with General Zhanbei’s Estate now. She had to watch over them.

Otherwise, it would be easy for her to lose her life.

“Qingge, how could I not know that you’ve studied medicine?”

Jia Jingzhong was rather curious about this. Previously, he had also sent someone to the Ye Residence to investigate.

This girl was not outstanding in the residence, and her appearance was not shocking.

If he had to give her an outstanding ability, it would be crying.

It was said that this girl cried for three consecutive days.

The maidservants said that her tears were enough to fill a vat of lotus flowers.

However, how was the smiling little girl in front of him related to that crybaby?

Could it be that she had been hiding her strength all along?

However, no matter what she was, she was now considered a member of the General Zhanbei Estate.

Hence, the word “protected” was enough.

“Actually, it’s not considered medical skills. It’s just a simple emergency treatment. I know nothing about those acupuncture needles, looking, hearing, asking, and cutting.”

Ye Qingge quickly explained, “Don’t treat me like a doctor.”

Otherwise, she could not guarantee that the illness would be cured when the medicine was used. It was very likely one would lose his life from the medicine used.

“This move of yours is not simple at all. You reattached it just like that. Even ordinary doctors are not as good as you.”

Ye Qingge shook her head humbly after hearing this and said that she didn’t dare.

Jia Jingzhong stroked his beard as he looked at Ye Qingge. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her. The more he liked her, the more his heart ached.

Why didn’t he say that he wanted to acknowledge a goddaughter?

“A few days ago, your foster father sent a messenger pigeon saying that your three-way crossbow is really a treasure. It’s simply invincible. It would be even better if it could be used in the army.”

Jia Jingzhong stole a glance at Ye Qingge. After all, she was the one who gave this to Li Da.

Now that they wanted to manufacture it on a large scale in the army, they still needed her permission.

“That crossbow was originally given to Foster Father. If he is willing, wouldn’t it be better for everyone in the Zhanbei Army to have one?”

In any case, the things she gave out had nothing to do with her.

Whether it was imitating or giving it away, it was fine as long as the old man was happy.

“Qingge, my good child, I didn’t expect you to be so open-minded. Good, good, good. You are really as good as men.”

Jia Jingzhong praised from the bottom of his heart. Such a personality was probably better than ordinary men.

This old man Ye Guoqiang had really raised a good daughter.

‘Oh no, I can’t think about it.’

Just thinking about it made his heart ache with jealousy.

“Uncle Jia, Qingge needs your help with something.”

“You’re a good child. Just tell me.”

“Is there any fertile land for sale around the capital? I’m not well-informed about this issue. If there is, I want to buy three to five hundred acres.”

Ye Qingge didn’t hide her thoughts. In this era, just having banknotes wasn’t enough. She had to have some farmland.

“Oh? This isn’t a small sum. Why did Qingge suddenly want to buy a plot of land? Could it be because of those tenants?”

Jia Jingzhong understood Ye Qingge’s situation in the Ye Residence, so he couldn’t help but worry for her.

“Uncle Jia, you don’t have to worry. My mother saved some dowry money for me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to use it in my current state. Why don’t we buy some fertile land?”

Ye Qingge’s words were very reasonable, but Jia Jingzhong felt very sad when he heard them.

She couldn’t help but curse Madam Bai and Ye Guoqiang in her heart. Such a good child had been ruined in their hands.

Then how was Official Liu a good match?

No, when Old Li came back, they had to discuss this Qingge’s marriage.

There were many good boys in the Zhanbei Army. No matter what, he had to find a good one for the girl.

“Alright, don’t worry about this. I’ll buy anything suitable for you.”

Ye Qingge nodded. She didn’t have to worry about Master Jia.

“As for those tenants, I’ll have them stay in the residence first. When the time comes, after you buy the fields, just let them live in the farmstead.”

Jia Jingzhong patted his chest to reassure Ye Qingge that he would take care of these matters.

Then, he turned around and handed it to Butler Wu.

Seeing that everything was almost settled, Ye Qingge prepared to return to the residence.

She had been out for quite some time today, so she could not give herself away.

Hence, she rejected Jia Jingzhong’s invitation to have lunch together and returned to the Ye Residence.
