Niu Xue Mei confronted the Qian Family, who arrived with government officials and an indenture, intending to take her daughters. Despite her protests and Jia Zhihe's attempts to reason with them, the Qian Family insisted on their claim, revealing their true motive was to seize Niu Xue Mei's restaurant, Da Lou Shi Jie, by holding her daughters hostage. As the situation escalated, Wang Yong arrived with his soldiers, halting the officials and questioning the validity of the indenture given the family's severed ties.

Upon hearing the words "Great General" once more, everyone present was stunned, and Niu Xue Mei showed an incredulous expression: "What did you say? What Great General?"

Wang Yong, putting away his whole body’s Evil Qi, explained: "General’s Wife, do you remember me? I’m Wang Yong. My grandfather is the village chief."

Niu Xue Mei looked at his face and finally recalled, then widened her eyes: "It’s you?"

"It’s me."

"What about Ye Qiu? How is he now? Is he alright?" Niu Xue Mei asked urgently, her eyes reddened.

"The Great General is fine; he is very safe. Originally, the Great General was supposed to return personally this time, but although the war on the front has slightly paused, no one knows when Xin Country will come back in full force. Only with the Great General guarding the front does the Holy Emperor feel at ease, so the Great General sent me back to ensure the General’s Wife that you are safe." Wang Yong explained in detail.

Niu Xue Mei now understood, but still felt a bit bewildered: Wang Yong said her husband Ye Qiu is the Great General?

Jia Zhihe asked a little quicker with an expression of joy: "Are you saying Ye Qiu is the Heroic General personally appointed by the Holy Emperor?"

Wang Yong nodded: "That’s right. Thanks to the Great General, I managed to snatch a Colonel position."

He was very self-aware; his martial arts were average, and he was not adept at scheming. If it weren’t for coming from the same place as the Great General, he wouldn’t have landed this Colonel position, nor would he be the one to bring home the good news.

The townsfolk were thrilled upon hearing Wang Yong’s confession: so the Heroic General is actually from their county? The people before them were the General’s Wife and the General’s legitimate daughter?

Some of the townsfolk were kneeling. This was the Heroic General who safeguarded their Lan Country! Without the Heroic General resisting the people of Xin Country on the front, how would they have these peaceful days? Haven’t they heard the storyteller say that even the Holy Emperor was delighted, proclaiming the Heroic General as the pillar of the nation!

The townsfolk felt joyous, believing their county was truly blessed with talent, but Housekeeper Qian didn’t feel so happy upon hearing this. If Ye Qiu was really the Heroic General, hadn’t he just ordered people to take away his two daughters? What if the Great General sought accountability?

Housekeeper Qian’s legs became weak, and he forcefully maintained his composure, questioning: "Who knows if you’re really speaking the truth? If the County Magistrate finds out, he could imprison you all and execute you."

"Are you questioning my words?" Wang Yong glared at him, then pulled out an item and held it up, "Could it be that the Token personally granted by the Holy Emperor to the Great General is fake?"

Housekeeper Qian looked at the dragon pattern on the Token, and his legs weakened further; he knew he was finished because no one dared to forge such an item — it involved extermination of one’s entire family.

What kind of luck was this? The one he wanted to take was actually the biological daughter of the Heroic General, and he even said the Great General’s daughter was a servant of the Qian Family — if the Great General knew, wouldn’t he cut him to pieces?

Seeing the golden Token, all the townsfolk present knelt down, among them Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun, both looking bewildered and stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

"Is this the indenture?" Wang Yong snatched the paper from Housekeeper Qian’s hand, "The Great General had already severed ties with his family, yet someone can sell his daughter? Your government officials don’t even investigate this before arresting people?"

Two government officials begged for mercy repeatedly: "Please pardon us, we didn’t know, we really didn’t know!"

Wang Yong didn’t immediately tear up the indenture but rather said to Jia Zhihe: "Brother Jia, could you please ask my grandfather to come, and have him bring the severance documents from back then as well? Let’s go and have a proper discussion with the County Magistrate."

"No problem, I’ll go right away." Jia Zhihe was extremely excited and almost ran off.

Wang Yong personally helped Niu Xue Mei up: "General’s Wife, please bring your copy of the documents and come to the county government with me. Don’t worry, Uncle Ye is now a First-rank Great General, no one can bully you anymore."

"Alright, I’ll get it right away." Niu Xue Mei floated back into the house, and upon taking out the proof, she knew from that moment that no one could trouble her and her daughter anymore. Ye Qiu, oh Ye Qiu, your timing couldn’t have been better, but how did you become the Great General?

Outside, Wang Yong looked at the fallen Old Lady Wang and Ye Chun and said disdainfully: "Granny Wang, Uncle Ye, I’ll trouble you to come with me to the county government too. Tsk tsk, you really dare, selling the Great General’s daughter while he’s away."

"Great General, is Ye Qiu really the Heroic General?" Old Lady Wang grabbed Wang Yong’s clothes and asked.

"The Token personally granted by the Holy Emperor is here, how could it be fake?"

"Great General? Haha, my son is the Great General." Old Lady Wang laughed up at the sky, as if not hearing the sarcasm in Wang Yong’s voice, spitting fiercely at Housekeeper Qian, "Did you hear? My son is the Great General, see if you dare to bully me."

Wang Yong sneered: "Granny Wang, don’t forget the Great General severed ties with you a long time ago. When he came, he specifically said he has nothing to do with you and will not let you take advantage of his power. As for the Qian Family’s attempt to capture the Great General’s daughter, I’ll settle that with them, but your conflicts with the Qian Family are none of my business."

Housekeeper Qian heard this and suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. Could he push the blame onto Old Lady Wang? After all, was it not Old Lady Wang who first approached them to sell people? They knew nothing.

Housekeeper Qian said a few words to a guard, who hurriedly ran back to the Qian Family.

Upon hearing this report from the servant, Madam Qian threw down her teacup, her face pale with shock: "What did you say? You say those two little girls are the daughters of the Heroic General?"

"That’s right, the troops said so, and they brought a Token personally granted by the Holy Emperor."

Madam Qian listened, and her face turned completely pale, thinking she was doomed.

The servant continued: "But Housekeeper Qian said there is still hope, as the Heroic General seems to have a particularly poor relationship with his own mother and elder brother, and won’t care about our troubles with other members of the Ye Family."

Madam Qian seemed to regain a bit of strength: "You didn’t hear wrong."

"No."

"Alright, you go immediately and find the master, have him join me in hurrying to the county government — this matter cannot be delayed." Despite hearing this, Madam Qian still felt heart palpitations; after all, she had ulterior motives. After all, it was her Qian Family’s people who went to capture them, and she hoped the Great General could overlook her offenses, even if it meant spending the family’s wealth.

Thus, she also deeply hated Old Lady Wang and them. If Old Lady Wang hadn’t brought it up first, how could she have sent people to capture them, causing their family to offend the Great General, not knowing how the family’s fate would unfold?

If the Great General could forgive her family, if the Great General really hated the other Ye Family members, she certainly wouldn’t spare Old Lady Wang and them.

At the same time, upon receiving Jia Zhihe’s message, the people from Wang Family Village rushed to the county, including Wang Hong and Ye Dong, who couldn’t contain their joy. Jia Zhihe looked at them but showed a disdainful gaze, thinking that soon they wouldn’t be smiling.
