Rebirth of the Dumb Husband and Wife *COMPLETED*

Chapter 71 General

They searched the area around Zhuyuan, but there was no sign of either the maid or Yao Shaoqing.

Song Jinshu followed Yan Cheng back to the front hall in despair and saw Yao Shaoqing, dressed in white, sitting in a chair eating cakes. There was also a man in armor standing next to him, looking down at him softly.

The maid's mouth was gagged with cloth, and her hands were tied behind her back with hemp rope. Her eyes lit up when she saw Yan Cheng and Song Jinshu coming in. She struggled to stand up from the ground, whimpering and saying incomprehensible words.

"Shu Shu!"

Yao Shaoqing still had cakes stuffed in his mouth. When he saw Song Jinshu coming in, he rushed in front of Song Jinshu holding half a piece of osmanthus cake left.

"Cake, cake, delicious!"

Song Jinshu breathed a sigh of relief, pulled Yao Shaoqing in front of him, and looked him up and down carefully, and then he felt relieved after confirming that there were no injuries on his body.

"General Yao regards this place as his home."

The man known as General Yao touched his nose in embarrassment and smiled heartily, "I received a letter from Liu Cong, saying that Xiaoyao was safely sent to Yan Er's house. I missed him, so came uninvited."

He is Yao Shaoqing's eldest brother - Yao Weishan. As his name suggests, he is tall and mighty, as steady as a mountain. He has been galloping on the battlefield all his life and has made countless military achievements. He had already become a famous and powerful general when he was just thirty.

Yao Shaoqing had not forgotten his eldest brother. Hearing the word "Xiaoyao", he raised his head and looked at Yao Weishan, then turned his head and tugged on Song Jinshu's sleeves, thinking in a low voice: "That's my eldest brother, he's very powerful!"

There was a boastful and complacent tone in his words.

"When I entered the yard just now, I heard someone coming to search outside. I was so anxious that I took Xiaoyao and the maid away for a while."

Yao Weishan was not considered a free man in Youdu. Although he had won the battle and brought his army back to Youdu to receive rewards, he was surrounded by eunuchs sent from the Imperial City of Youdu every day. Yao Weishan's every move was reported to the court. He wanted to see Yao Shaoqing, but he had to have someone to help him cover up before he escaped from the inn.

He ran covertly to Yan's mansion and then climbed in through the backyard wall. Unexpectedly, as soon as they reached Zhuyuan, they heard Xiao Yize's voice coming from outside.

Then he blocked the maid's mouth, tapped Yao Shaoqing's mute point, and led the people away from Zhuyuan, escaping Xiao Yize's search.

After all, blood is thicker than water. When Yao Weishan took him in his arms, Yao Shaoqing did not make any noise and hugged his neck obediently. It wasn't until Xiao Yize and his party left Yan Mansion, Yao Weishan carried him down from the tree and released his mute point.

Yao Shaoqing looked at him for a long time and timidly called him "brother."

Turns out he recognized him!

All the pastries placed on the table were bought by Yao Weishan from the pastry stall. Yao Shaoqing liked them very much. As soon as he swallowed the pastries in his mouth, he picked up another piece from the plate and filled his mouth with it. He narrowed his eyes with satisfaction, What a gluttonous cat.

Yao Weishan's eyes never moved away from his brother from the beginning to the end.

It's not that he didn't learn about Yao Shaoqing's situation from the letter, but no matter how mentally prepared he was, the moment he saw Yao Shaoqing, he was still so angry that he wanted to rush out and kill Xiao Yize.

Yao Shaoqing was born into a family of military generals. He had two older brothers, both of whom were strong martial arts practitioners. Yao Shaoqing was not in good health since he was born. His family sent him to the Medicine Valley to practice medicine with the King of Medicine. It took him more than ten years to be able to be this active.

A beautifully crafted baby was born in the family, and it was natural that everyone would hold it in their hands and love it. Not to mention that Yao Shaoqing studied medicine with his master, and his two brothers went to the battlefield to kill the enemy, they merely saw each other a few times a year. His face is regarded as a treasure by the two brothers.

When had he ever been so wrong?

"In the coming days, I will step into Prince Pingduan's Mansion and let Xiao Yize surely experience such suffering!"

Yao Weishan's eyes were red, his hands clenched into fists hanging by his sides, and his whole body emanated a chilling aura.

Yao Shaoqing was frightened by his state, but he did not run away. Instead, he carefully reached out to touch the back of Yao Weishan's hand and said in a soft and waxy voice, "Brother, don't be angry, Qingqing will help."

He lowered his head and blew on the scarred back of Yao Weishan's hand. The snow-white silver thread slid down along the movement, covering most of his slender face.

Yao Weishan raised his hand and picked up the broken hair on his temples, praising him in a hoarse voice, "Xiao Yao is so good."

"Tomorrow the army will return to the border county, and I will take Xiaoyao back. I would like to thank Mr. Yan and Mrs. Yan for accommodating  us." After saying that, he gratefully saluted Yan Cheng, the book of Song Jinshu, "There is still someone in Youdu who is willing to take us in." Xiaoyao, it is Xiaoyao's blessing to have such a good person to help him. Yao is very grateful. If the second master asks for anything in the future, we will do our best to help."

Yan Cheng and Song Jinshu naturally had no reason to refuse if Yao Shaoqing wanted to follow his brother home, but he did have something to ask of Yao Weishan.

Although Yao Weishan is from the border county, he has served as the commander of the imperial army in Youdu for several years and knows many imperial nobles.

Yan Cheng vividly recalled how Yan Ze had led to the utter destruction of his family in his past life. He lost his village, his parents, and even his family.

Although many things were different in this life, Yan Ze was so bad that he had to guard against him.

He made an invitation gesture and led Yao Weishan to the side hall. There was no need for Song Jinshu to know about these dirty things.

As soon as Yao Weishan left with Yao Shaoqing in front, Yan Ze entered the door carrying a large package on his back.

When he saw Song Jinshu and Yan Cheng in the front hall, his footsteps stopped and he couldn't hide the panic on his face.

Why are the second brother and second sister-in-law standing in the front hall? Could it be that they did know?

Yan Ze walked up to the two of them and said hello. Yan Cheng glanced at the things he was carrying on his back and asked with an unhappy expression: "Where have you been? Why haven't you returned home for several days? There are so many things on his back." What is it?"

Yan Ze couldn't tell where he went. He hesitated and said that he went to a classmate's house to play. He was carrying some ancient books and trinkets on his back. He also pretended to unload the package and open the bag for Yan Cheng to see.

Yan Ze's heart was in his throat, but Yan Cheng didn't seem to care at all and waved his hand, "Don't run out quietly again. If something happens, parents will be worried."

After successfully escaping, Yan Ze secretly rejoiced carried the package, and walked to his yard.

"Second Master," Yan Cheng's expression was not good. Song Jinshu squeezed his palm and asked worriedly, "Are the things Yan Ze brought back okay?"

Yan Cheng remained silent and shook his head.

In his last life, Yan Ze wanted to take Buzhuang away from him. He was careless and blind at that time, so he didn't notice it. It wasn't until the day he died he realized that from the time Yan Ze came down from the mountain, he had been planning to put his brother to death.
