Chapter 251: Undeserving of the Insult

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As the daughter of a mere businessman, I may not be worthy of being served tea by the two soldiers. But I have my aunt’s backing! How can Deputy General Sun say that?
“I’m the niece of the Princess of the Prince Zhanyun Residence. Who do they think they are? They’re nothing! They wanted to harm me because of my status! Don’t you understand?”
Her words left everyone around speechless.
Did she think they were unaware that she was the niece of the old woman of the Prince Zhanyun Residence?
“Pfft!” Deputy General Sun sneered in disdain. “You? You’re nothing at all!”!!
“You—”
He angered her again, but she could not say anything. She turned around and looked at Qian Jiyun, expecting him to say something for her.
After all, she had some relationship with Qian Jiyun. He would not let her suffer on account of her aunt, right?
“Brother Yun, this person insulted me! You have to stand up for me!”
“Indeed. Deputy General Sun shouldn’t have insulted you.”
Qian Jiyun looked at Xue Ling coldly. This vicious woman had killed two of his soldiers but was still so arrogant. If he had known this would happen, he would not have kept her around!
“How can he say that? You’re undeserving of the insult, right?”
A crisp chuckle erupted next to them.
An Jiuyue could not resist laughing. She turned away, pretending she did not hear anything.
Qian Jiyun was probably the only one who could insult someone with a straight face!
“Brother Yun…”
Xue Ling was dumbfounded. She stared blankly at Qian Jiyun, not even caring that An Jiuyue was mocking her.
Did I misunderstand something? Qian Jiyun didn’t say that on purpose, right? He’s just speaking up for me, right? But why does it sound like he’s insulting me?
The deputy generals’ mouths twitched when they heard the general’s words.
Their general always appeared serious in front of others. This might not be common knowledge to outsiders, but they knew—he had a sharp tongue.
Every time they battled an enemy, the enemy soldiers would be royally pissed off by the general before they swung their weapons to challenge him. There were no exceptions.
“Qian Jiyun, this woman is not a big deal,” An Jiuyue reminded, not wanting them to be distracted by a woman who failed to escape.
Qian Jiyun turned around and took a deep breath.
He ordered Xue Ling to be taken away and guarded. Then, he sat down with the deputy generals to discuss the epidemic in the camp.
An Jiuyue remained with them as she had some knowledge about the epidemic.
“General, there are over 2,000 infected in the military camp. We have also quarantined over 5,000 people because they have been in contact with the infected,” Deputy General Sun said, looking worried. He punched the table.
Qian Jiyun clenched his fists when he heard the number of people infected.
“So many?”
He had suspected that someone had caused the epidemic outbreak in the camp. However, he did not expect so many people to be infected.
They would need as many medicinal herbs for as many infected. Given their current situation, it was probably impossible for them to obtain so many medicinal herbs.
It would take at least a few days for the medicine to arrive from nearby areas.
