Wu Ming's words silenced the on - looking soldiers. They glanced at each other, then quickly rushed to Shen Baozhu's side and vied with one another to ask: "Are you really Shen Haiyan's younger sister?"
"Are you the younger sister who often brings food to Shen Haiyan?"
"Are you that lively, cute, intelligent and brother - loving younger sister of Shen Haiyan?"
There were too many questions. Shen Baozhu had to first put the grain cart aside and answer them one by one.
"Yes, I'm my third brother's younger sister."
"I've brought a lot of pastries for my third brother, like rice cakes, lotus cakes, pea cakes..."
"I don't know, but Baozhu loves her third brother very much!"
Compared with the unpopular Wu Ming, Shen Haiyan was extremely popular in the military camp.
Once they knew that Shen Baozhu was truly Shen Haiyan's younger sister, several strong soldiers lifted a bag of grain from the cart and threw it into the tent.
Following their actions, the other soldiers wordlessly started to carry the grain. Many hands make light work. The three whole carts of grain were quickly unloaded.
Some soldiers brought chairs from the training ground and let Shen Baozhu sit on one.
Sun Xiaowei's punishment was completed. Shen Baozhu still remembered the Dragon King's requirement. She stretched out her arms and said seriously, "I'm very strong!"
Those who had witnessed Shen Baozhu lifting the grain cart thought: Not just strong, it's almost superhuman strength!
Afraid of failing to meet the Dragon King's requirement, Shen Baozhu emphasized again, "I'm very strong, just as strong as Brother Wu Ming!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Wu Ming. The latter tried to clear himself, "Baozhu is just being childish and talking nonsense. My strength is not even worth comparing with Baozhu's."
The Dragon King: [Of course! My Strength Fruit is not something that ordinary mortals can compare with.]
Lin Yu: [It seems that these people have a better attitude towards Baozhu's third brother. Even Sun Xiaowei is like this. Why?]
The Qingyun Real Man: [It's related to Wu Ming's background. When Sun Xiaowei was scolding Wu Ming, he specifically mentioned that his grandfather was a commander. When Wu Ming brought Baozhu out, someone called him Young Master Wu.]
The Dragon King: [Shen Haiyan's family background is not bad either! His mother is a princess, his grandfather is a great general. Although the Shen family is detestable, they have connections in the court. Baozhu's uncle was once a Hanlin.]
The Dragon King: [Most importantly, he has such a cute younger sister as Baozhu!]
Watching Shen Baozhu sitting obediently on the chair, swinging her little legs, someone teased her, "Little girl, do you know? Every night when your brother goes to sleep, he praises you once."
"That's right, everyone in our military camp has been praised by Brother Haiyan. Even Young Master Wu Ming couldn't escape."
The Qingyun Real Man: [Baozhu asks them why they call Wu Ming Young Master.]
Shen Baozhu asked this question. The soldier who was speaking glanced at Wu Ming. Seeing that he wasn't angry, he dared to explain, "Wu Ming's family are high - ranking officials. It's different from us ordinary soldiers. We sleep on the barracks, while he has his own tent. He even has a desk for reading. He's very particular."
The Dragon King: [So does Shen Haiyan sleep on the barracks? Doesn't he have any special treatment?]
Shen Baozhu asked the Dragon King's question, "What about my third brother? Can he have the same treatment?"
The soldier laughed, "Of course not. Wu Ming can have this kind of treatment because his family has high - ranking officials. I heard that his grandfather is a very important official. We're all commoners. How can we have such treatment?"
The Dragon King: [The Shen family is so useless. They were scolded by the Third Prince before and couldn't even get an official position.]
The Qingyun Real Man: [It should be that Shen Haiyan hid his identity.]
Lin Yu: [Baozhu's third brother chose to hide his identity and join the military camp, while Wu Ming has special privileges in the camp and is ostracized. It's quite reasonable.]
The Dragon King: [It's not reasonable. Wu Ming has such a high status, but they still dare to ostracize him in the camp.]
Lin Yu: [It's more like a tease. Wu Ming doesn't care about this kind of teasing.]
The Qingyun Real Man: [Wu Ming has a high status, and Shen Haiyan's is not bad either.]
When Shen Haiyan finished chatting with Sun Xiaowei, Shen Baozhu had a lot of things in her arms. The soldiers in the military camp had stuffed them for her, including dried sweet potatoes, dried meat, pickles, and even two little grass - woven trinkets.
Shen Haiyan helped Shen Baozhu collect these things. Sun Xiaowei was unhappy. With a dark face, he took out his own paper - wrapped package and wanted to give it to Shen Baozhu, but was refused by Shen Haiyan again.
Sun Xiaowei glared at Shen Haiyan and directly threw the paper - wrapped package into Shen Baozhu's arms, "This is a military order!"
Shen Haiyan had no choice but to let Shen Baozhu accept the package.
...
When Shen Haiyan brought Shen Baozhu back, the happiest person was Yan Mingli.
The Fourth Prince could finally leave the main hall!
After settling Qiuqiu and the Fourth Prince, Yan Mingli took Shen Baozhu to see Xiaotao.
After drinking the medicine water, Xiaotao was much better. Xu Yutang never left her side.
Shen Baozhu was led by Yan Mingli. She tilted her head and said, "Brother Mingli, you seem a bit excited."
"Is it that obvious? I mean, Xu Yutang is back. I'm a bit excited." Yan Mingli almost let the cat out of the bag and managed to muddle through with a few words.
After Yan Mingli sent Shen Baozhu back to the courtyard, he changed his direction and went to find the Prince of Rui.
An hour later.
In the dim room, the candle flame flickered. Yan Mingli's shadow was projected on the wall, looking ferocious.
"You're the Prince of Rui? You're actually the Prince of Rui! You old coot, you've deceived me so badly!" Yan Mingli shook the Prince of Rui's body, trying to get justice for himself.
The Prince of Rui was shaken until he felt dizzy. His hands hung in the air, looking extremely helpless.
The current situation was beyond the Prince of Rui's expectation. He asked, "It's all in the past. Why are you bringing up old scores?"
These words made Yan Mingli even angrier. He poked the Prince of Rui's chest with his finger and gritted his teeth, "All in the past? It just happened this afternoon!"
"I talked to you nicely at that time because Qiuqiu was there!"
With Qiuqiu around, as an elder brother - in - law, Yan Mingli had to set a good example and couldn't be disrespectful to his elders.
This was also the reason why the Prince of Rui managed to escape a scolding this afternoon.
The Prince of Rui secretly thought that he had made a miscalculation. If he had known that Yan Mingli attached so much importance to his role as an elder brother - in - law, he should have pestered and slept next to Qiuqiu's room.
A good elder brother - in - law definitely wouldn't disturb his younger sister at night.
Yan Mingli didn't know that the Prince of Rui had thought of a way to manipulate him. He complained loudly, "Tell me, how many years have we known each other? I didn't even know you were a prince."
"This, it's not my fault." The Prince of Rui spread his hands and started to act shamelessly.
This trick worked on others, but Yan Mingli was already used to it and didn't even care. He ignored the Prince of Rui's words and only asked the questions he cared about.
"Why did you hide your identity as a prince and deliberately not tell me?"
"Besides this, are there other things you've hidden from me?"
The Prince of Rui thought for a while and whispered, "I also have some industries. Does that count?"
Yan Mingli suddenly stood up, "Of course it counts! How much private savings have you hidden? Hand them over quickly so that I can marry a wife."
"No, don't change the subject. Why did you hide the fact that you're a prince from me?"
Facing Yan Mingli's questioning, the Prince of Rui reported an astonishing figure, which was his half - lifetime savings.
Suddenly, Yan Mingli felt that the truth wasn't important. Nothing was more important than the Prince of Rui's private savings!
