Hearing this, Ye Muyu subconsciously became vigilant. She felt that it was difficult to guess Li Ruyi’s thoughts when she was being controlled by her love for Shen Qin.

“No. The identity of Little General Shen is worlds apart from mine.” Ye Muyu shook her head.

The son of a general and an ordinary peasant woman were worlds apart.

“Is that so? I’m guessing that Shen Qin will be here soon,” Li Ruyi suddenly said.

Ye Muyu frowned for a moment before regaining her composure.

It was not strange for Young General Shen to come over when the horse’s hooves were in trouble.

Sure enough, they did not wait for long.

Shen Qin came over.

There were also a few deputy generals behind him.

Ye Muyu looked over and saw a familiar figure. She could not help but take a second look.

After a long while, she suddenly remembered that the thin man standing behind Shen Qin was the man she had seen outside the military camp who had reached out to strangle Li Ruyi.

The alarm bells in her heart rang, and she also realized that Li Ruyi must have been lying.

Realizing this, Ye Muyu quietly shifted his gaze to Young General Shen.

Seeing him walk over, she hurriedly bowed.

“Mrs. Chu, please get up.” Shen Qin quickly reached out to support her.

“Young General, you must have called the wrong person. She is now my servant.” Li Ruyi looked at him with a faint smile.

“Princess, what did you say?” Shen Qin looked at her with disapproval.

“Liuye, say it yourself.”

When Ye Muyu heard the name that Li Ruyi had casually given her, she was not angry at all. Instead, she told Shen Qin about her agreement with Li Ruyi.

“Princess, aren’t you afraid that Lord Marquis will find out about your actions?” Shen Qin’s eyes were filled with anger.

“What’s wrong? Are you angry?” Li Ruyi saw his reaction and smiled even more happily. She winked at Ye Muyu as if to say, “Look, I guessed right.”

Ye Muyu closed her eyes and did not want to look at Li Ruyi. She was clearly mad at Shen Qin, so she was willing to do anything that could make Shen Qin angry.

Before she met Shen Qin, she still had some rationality, but when she met Shen Qin, she was completely flustered.

Shen Qin pursed his lips tightly. “Princess, there is a limit to your willfulness. Mrs. Chu is the younger sister of a soldier in the army.”

“Your request, no…”

When Ye Muyu heard this, she knew that the two of them were going to quarrel. Moreover, she would definitely not benefit from being stuck in the middle.

“Young General, this is a deal between me and the princess. I have to keep my word. Since the princess saved my brother, I will do what I promised the princess. Please accept this, General.” She knew that Shen Qin was only speaking up for her because he was angered by the princess. Moreover, it was inappropriate not to speak up in his military camp.

However, she could not make things difficult for him. This was the kind of grievance one had to suffer because of their low social status.

Li Ruyi proudly raised her eyebrows. Seeing Ye Muyu protecting her and not Shen Qin, her mood instantly became better.

Pointing at Shen Qin, she said, ” This horse of mine was placed in your military camp. You said that you would take good care of it. But now, one of its hooves is injured. Is Young General Shen’s military camp so lax?”

Shen Qin frowned when he heard that. “The horse’s hoof is injured? What happened?”

“General, the iron hoof was not fixed properly, so the hoof was injured.” a soldier reported.

When Shen Qin heard this, he did not bother to argue with Li Ruyi anymore. He quickly walked forward and checked the date red horse’s condition. After confirming that what she said was true, his expression turned cold.
