The General's Darling Is Delicate

The dim oil lamp cast shadows upward on his face, a darkness and mystery never seen before!

Those hawk-like eyes no longer held the calm of the past, as if they had locked onto prey. If she, this old woman, dared to make a false move, she would immediately be killed!

Old Lady Ye trembled and repeatedly said, "Gen- General! There’s really nothing! Our mansion is just short on some New Year goods, and... and those wild vegetables, weren’t they just watered with pig manure to grow on their own?"

"Old Lady Ye’s work makes this General reassured, but if there is trouble one day, does Old Lady Ye know how to resolve it?"

"There won’t be any trouble!!! General! Absolutely no trouble!"

"Old Lady Ye’s daughter serves in the palace, right?"

Old Lady Ye felt like her scalp was about to explode. She looked up, timidly gazing at the towering man, "General, my daughter’s in your mother consort’s palace, don’t you remember?"

Yelyu Lie grew up in the military camp, except when encountering emotional issues where he would become impulsive.

In all other matters, he takes one step and examines three steps ahead.

He knew Old Lady Ye had a daughter serving in the palace and feared if ever discovered, Old Lady Ye might say anything because of her daughter.

However, since she was with his mother, there was no need to worry.

Next time, he would enter the palace and have his mother keep an eye on the girl.

It wasn’t that Yelyu Lie was ruthless, but with matters concerning his little wife’s life safety, he had to consider more.

The tense atmosphere even made Yun Chunnuan’s palms sweat.

It was her first time seeing such a barbarian general, knowing his concerns and worries, and even considering all the possibilities she hadn’t foreseen yet...

No fear, just moved.

Fortunately, she had told him everything today, and luckily there was this man thinking for her.

Otherwise, she would definitely be panicked and helpless at this moment.

He really... gave her a full sense of trust and safety.

He also gave all his gentleness to her alone.

"Husband." The sweet and soft voice carried a trace of tremor, impossible to tell if it was from being moved or fearful.

It was the first time little Jiaojiao called him husband in front of others.

Yelyu Lie’s deliberately stern face instantly melted as if touched by warm sunlight, enveloping him.

He held the soft little hand in his palm, the rough pad brushing gently against her tender fingertips, "Do not fear, my lady, they’re just surprises, with me around."

"Mm."

Yun Chunnuan couldn’t speak. If Old Lady Ye weren’t still present, she would have just wanted to hold him tightly and cry her heart out.

Whether it was from being moved or fearful, she really couldn’t say.

However, there was no fear anymore, for he was there, always...

The next day, Old Lady Ye made a grand show of purchasing New Year supplies.

She thought it over thoroughly, buying not just rabbits, pigs, cows, and sheep, but also all kinds of New Year necessities. When asked, she said that the General Mansion was ruled by a lady now who wanted to reward the soldiers with some grease.

During this time, a major event also occurred in the General Mansion.

As the end of the year approached, several women in the mansion were continuously sent away.

Regardless of the rumors and gossip, Yelyu General was determined, gifting them to his subordinates.

Qiao’er had been monitoring the Central Plains doctor at Lian Qiao’s place for these past few days, even hating to take her eyes off even when sleeping.

Only when the medicinal concoction was entirely used up did she run back.

After all, the things the Princess entrusted to her had to be completed perfectly.

Yun Chunnuan learned from the barbarian general that those women were sent away, but she didn’t ask why.

All she knew was that if he made up his mind, he must have his reasons.

Qiao’er came back with gossip, and Yun Chunnuan learned that those women were very close to the Holy Daughter, and there were two who had been Yelyu Nalan’s right-hand women when he was at the mansion, very sycophantic.

Yun Chunnuan remembered the barbarian general once said the person wanting to harm her was in the palace.

She had speculated it could be Yelyu Nalan, or maybe the ugly Prince.

Now she was more inclined to think it was Yelyu Nalan...

But he had said to leave some things to him.

Now Yun Chunnuan trusted him wholeheartedly.

No matter what the barbarian general said, she believed.

Just as he trusted her.

In recent days, Yun Chunnuan stayed in her little courtyard and finished making the beauty soap.

Because there were more materials in the Storage Ring, this beauty soap was much more refined than the previous handmade soaps.

At the same time, Yun Chunnuan discovered many seeds in the Storage Ring...

Her curiosity about her mother-in-law’s master reached an unprecedented level.

Tomorrow was New Year’s Eve, and Yun Chunnuan planned to see if the tomato seeds could be cultivated quickly.

Anyway, with the barbarian general supporting her, she had nothing to worry about, only needed to go all out.

It was still the big wooden box she used for potatoes. Yun Chunnuan had just taken out a Blood Bead when a familiar woman’s voice rang out from outside, "Where is your princess? Call her out, this lady... I, I have something to discuss!"
