Shen Tao quickly led a group of men in and rushed in, saying, "General Qin, what's going on here? What do you mean by 'spy'?"

Qin Yuan looked at Shen Tao and said, "This is the city lord of Yanmen Pass, the one with the child. Do you know him?"

Shen Tao shook his head and said, "I don't know him. By the way, how did you two meet? How did you get to know a child at Yanmen Pass?"

Qin Yuan's lips twitched. Just as Zhou Wanwan was about to speak, he quickly said, "We met at dinner."

Qin Yuan couldn't very well say that he led a group of people to war, only to be betrayed by a child!

Shen Tao said "Oh," and then said, "So you met over dinner? That's quite a coincidence. How did you know she was a spy?"

Qin Yuan said, "She... she's only been living in my house for a short time, and so many things have happened to my family. Who else could it be but her?"

Zhou Wanwan hid behind Shen Tao and said, "General Qin, I'm not a spy. I'm just here in the Great Qi Kingdom on business."

"You're going to start a business? What kind of business can a six-year-old do?"

Old Madam Zhao came out and said:

"Yes! He's just a 6-year-old child."

General Qin knows she can't do much business, so why make things difficult for her?

Qin Yuan pointed at Zhou Wanwan and said, "You have no idea how amazing this child is."

Zhou Wanwan looked up at Qin Yuan and said, "General Qin, how amazing am I? Tell everyone!"

Qin Yuan was speechless. He couldn't very well admit that he couldn't beat a child, could he?

The Great Qi said:

"General Qin, no matter how capable you are, you're still just a child. If you think this child is a spy..."

I think it's better to lock her up; she's better suited to the woodshed.

Zhou Wanwan burst into tears. "I was taken to the Qin Clan and locked in the woodshed ever since. Why am I being locked in the woodshed again now?"

The ladies around couldn't help but say, "General Qin, this is just a six-year-old child. I didn't expect your family to have kept him locked up in the woodshed all this time?"

"This child is quite capable; she even knows medicine. How could you lock her in the woodshed? What did she do wrong?"

Qin Zimo snorted coldly and said:

"Locking her in the woodshed was my idea; that little girl is incredibly clever."

She wouldn't even agree to treat the second princess's face.

Zhou Wanwan looked at Qin Zimo and said, "Healing one's face comes at a price. Now that the Second Princess's face is healed, isn't it?"

The second princess is now as beautiful as a fairy. A young nobleman nearby said, "The second princess is indeed beautiful. She used to wear a veil, so we couldn't see her true face."

"Now that they've broken off the engagement, aren't you going to hurry up and pursue her?"

"That's a princess, do you think she'd even look at us?"

The second princess smiled and said, "When choosing a husband, I mainly look at his character; nothing else matters."

The young noblemen were overjoyed. One of them couldn't wait and asked, "Princess, what do you think of me?"

Several other young men from prominent families also came over, each volunteering their talents.

The second princess glanced at Zhou Wanwan and said, "Wanwan, we're best friends, why don't you help me choose?"

Zhou Wanwan stared blankly at the Second Princess and said:

"Why are you asking me about choosing a consort? Besides, can you even make that decision?"

"Shouldn't your father be choosing a husband for you?"

Zhou Wanwan had never heard that a princess could choose her own husband.

The second princess laughed:

"Just because your Great Xia Kingdom is not good doesn't mean our Great Qi is not good."

Our Great Qi princess can choose her own husband. As long as the husband is of good character, Father King will agree."

The Great Qi Kingdom was quite open-minded in this regard.

Zhou Wanwan grinned at her and said, "You decide who your husband is."

She had no desire to get involved in this!

The second princess whispered in Zhou Wanwan's ear, "How much silver do you want?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Wanwan became interested. "One hundred thousand taels."

The second princess's lips twitched as she said, "Why don't you just go and rob it?"

Zhou Wanwan frowned and said, "I really don't need to rob anyone! Selling information is faster than robbing, and it's legal too."

The second princess said speechlessly, "You tell me first, and I'll give you the silver in a bit."

Zhou Wanwan looked up at the Second Princess and said, "I'm sorry, I don't offer credit here."

What a joke! She didn't trust anyone from the Great Qi royal family at all.

The second princess rolled her eyes in anger. "Here it comes, give Zhou Wanwan 100,000 taels of silver."

After Zhou Wanwan accepted the silver notes, she said, "I need to find out more. I'll let you know tonight."

The second princess nodded, looked at her, and said:

"I don't know where you got this information from, but I hope it's accurate. I've got my eye on three men."

I think those three are pretty good. Could you ask around for me?

Zhou Wanwan nodded. Qin Zimo walked over and said, "Second Princess, you mustn't believe this little liar. You know she's a money-grubber; she just wants to swindle your money."

The second princess looked at Qin Zimo and said:

"But I have plenty of money, and I've already returned your betrothal gifts to you."

We have no relationship now.

Qin Zimo's face was full of resentment. "Second Princess, the Crown Prince and I are good brothers, how could you treat me like this?"

The Crown Prince approached and said, "Sister, I also think Zimo is quite good. If you were to marry him..."

The second princess looked at the crown prince and said:

Do you want me to marry someone whose family is drowning in debt?

Do you know how much money they owe? Look over there, Qin Yuan is still arguing with the Cui Family!

I could hear them arguing heatedly over there, their faces flushed red.

Qin Yuan looked at the bill and said, "When did my Qin Clan owe you ten thousand taels of gold? How come I didn't know? This is extortion."

The Cui Family steward said calmly:

"General Qin, this is written in black and white. Your army urgently needed money at the time and borrowed it from the Cui Family."

Not only you, but several other generals and officials also served as witnesses, and they all signed and affixed their fingerprints.

Chen Yu also said, "General Qin, you're not going to renege on your debt, are you? You owe my family 5 million catties of grain."

Qin Yuan nearly spat out blood. "Bullshit! When did I owe you so much food? I don't know anything about it!"

"It's all in black and white. Look, isn't this your seal?"

Qin Yuan took a look and confirmed that it was indeed their seal.

Qin Yuan looked coldly at Jiang Yunyao and said, "Jiang Yunyao, why didn't you go through me and instead borrowed grain and money on your own?"

Jiang Yunyao looked at Qin Yuan expressionlessly and said:

"When we borrowed grain and money, it was all with your consent."

Here is a letter written by you, it says it all clearly.

Jiang Yunyao took out a letter and handed it to Qin Yuan.

Qin Yuan took it and saw that there was indeed a battle that had been fought very hard, with a shortage of food and supplies, and he had asked Jiang Yunyao for help.

Zheng Linglong, who was standing next to her, suddenly snatched the letter and tore it open with a flick of her wrist, saying:

"Oh dear! This letter was accidentally torn up!"

Sister, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to.

Everyone knows Zheng Linglong did it on purpose.

Jiang Yunyao then took out another letter:

"There's another letter here. You can tear it up if you want."

However, these are all rubbings, not the originals, and have no value whatsoever!

However, what you're doing is quite disgusting.

Zhou Wanwan had already had many copies made, and she sat to the side watching the show:

"Hahaha... General Qin has truly broadened my horizons!"

Having a general like you is truly a blessing for the Great Qi.

You've incurred so much debt for the sake of the Great Qi; you're truly remarkable.

Qin Yuan's face turned ashen with anger. "Jiang Yunyao, these are all debts you owe, and naturally you should repay them."

Jiang Yunyao looked at Qin Yuan and said, "General Qin is truly shameless."

Is this an attempt to deny it?

Qin Yuan said with a roguish expression:

Anyway, I didn't approve your request to borrow this money and food.

You borrowed it yourself, so you return it yourself!

Jiang Yunyao was so angry that she trembled all over.

Shen Tao laughed heartily:

General Qin really tried to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Madam Jiang is in deep trouble now, incurring a huge debt for no reason. What is she going to do?
