13, Bored at night, sneaking into the general's mansion

  At night, after Xiang Si fell asleep, Leng Ru raised a black garment, tied the handkerchief around her waist, and slipped out of the Prime Minister's mansion.

  She casually found a horse-drawn carriage to take her to the general's mansion, the bustling streets were unfamiliar yet somehow familiar, perhaps because she had memories from her own body.

  The horse carriage arrived at the General's Mansion in a short while, and after paying the fare, Leng Ruo Yu walked along the high wall of the General's Mansion for a distance, took out her handkerchief to cover her face, and after making sure there was no one around, she climbed over the wall.

  The general's mansion was ablaze with lights, and even Leng Ruo could hear the sound of joyful songs. It seemed that someone was still in there, reveling in pleasure. She jumped onto the rooftop, heading towards the source of the joyful song.

  Lifting the tiles on the roof, cold as a pupil looking down, only to see four people sitting in front of the case, sitting on both sides, an old man, a relatively young one, and two others who looked very young.

  In the middle, a dancer danced for a while, then the old man had the dancer withdrawn and said to the two young men on the side: "I didn't expect the emperor to still remember me, I'm really delighted."

  His voice was low and resonant, still rich and full despite his advanced years.

  "His Majesty has been to the homes of various ministers to select consorts for us brothers, and the first one he thought of was General Wang. Unfortunately, the ladies in General Wang's household are not yet of marriageable age. Nevertheless, he sent me and the Fourth Prince to dine with General Wang, to show that he has not forgotten you. Tonight, the imperial court will also have General Wang take good care of you."

  Leng Ruyu couldn't see the old man's face, but judging from their conversation, it seemed that he was her maternal grandfather. Hasn't your family found a suitable daughter-in-law yet? Leng Ruyu curled up the corner of her mouth and smiled.

  Li Da Pang sighed softly: "Alas, I actually have a granddaughter too."

  "Father, what's the point of mentioning that ungrateful girl? All these years, which time did we send someone over and she actually agreed to meet?" The man sitting next to her interrupted Li Dapang's sigh.

  Isn't he talking about himself? Leng Ru Xing searched through her memories, and it seemed that the General's Manor had indeed sent people to look for her several times, but she had refused to see them, being very resistant.

  NND, why are memories of that three-year-old year not clear at all, only vaguely knowing that I lost my mother that year and fell from heaven to hell.

  Having such a big backing and not utilizing it, this Cold as Eyes must be thinking what. Indeed, people who are pitied must have something hateful about them. She is not Cold as Eyes, even if there's the biggest hatred, she will definitely use it if she can utilize it.

  Grandfather, it's been many years since we last met, I'm sure you've also thought of your granddaughter. Having gathered useful information, Leng Ruo Xin quickly left the rooftop, after all, the people sitting below were a great general and a prince, if she was discovered, it wouldn't be a laughing matter, her body hadn't recovered to the point where she could take on multiple opponents yet.

  She was moving lightly on the rooftop, seeing a high wall in front of her and preparing to jump down, when she heard shouting and scolding from below: "You little thief, stealing silver coins, come down here and I'll beat you until you hand over the silver."

  Leng Ruyan only heard two words, that's silver! She quietly lifted the tile again and saw a young man with disheveled hair tied to a pillar, with several house servants interrogating him.

  They took long wooden sticks and beat him repeatedly.

  Before two blows, that man couldn't bear it anymore, panting and saying: "I surrender, I surrender. However, the silver is hidden outside the General's mansion."

  Leng Ruyan touched the handkerchief on her face, making sure it completely covered her face, then jumped down from the rooftop.
