Chapter 1075 - 244: I Enjoy Slapping Faces_4
GREAT-GRANDMOTHER SHEN laughed upon hearing this, "No matter how formidable the Rong Clan might be, Great Chu fears them not now! General Pei established the Manufacturing Bureau, created the long spear, and set up the Long Spear Camp. The Rong Clan is nothing to worry about. I believe when General Dou returns, he will come back with distinguished military honors once again!"
She was praising others now, yet in the morning, she had been seizing every chance to cause difficulties for them. Madame Dou smiled and said nothing much. After sitting for a short while, she excused herself, taking her daughter Dou Mingying home.
Dou Mingying, puzzled, asked her, "Mother! There was nothing urgent for us, and leaving early like this, we might be seen as impolite."
"It was just some boring amusements. I had no interest in watching any longer," responded Madame Dou, telling her to go back to their courtyard first. She wanted to talk to Old Master Dou.
Old Master Dou himself was once a general who fought on the battlefield, but after suffering a severe injury on a military campaign, he spent two years convalescing in his prime years. He now held a nominal position in the Ministry of the Army, staying at home to recover.
After sending the servants away, Madame Dou brought tea to Old Master Dou and sat beside him to discuss the troubles Pei Qin faced at Shen Mansion today.
Although Old Master Dou was a military general by profession, he was not a foolish man, "My lady, have you uncovered something significant?"
Frowning, Madame Dou said, "Pei Qin drew a Divine Turtle Painting and gave it to Elder Shen with her seal on it."
