Watching Dong Chenglang flip over the wall, Prince NanAn and the others were all a bit tempted.

But this was Nanliang after all, and they weren’t that familiar with Dong Chenglang, let alone his uncle, General Shi.

They had seen each other on the battlefield before, so it wasn’t wise to get too close.

Prince NanAn and the others went back to find Zhao Xu.

Dong Chenglang flipped over the wall into General Shi’s Mansion, and the guards of the mansion all held their foreheads.

General Shi repeatedly told him to be stable and not flip over walls; the main door was only a few steps away, why didn’t he listen?

Dong Chenglang didn’t care about these things; he had been longing for the telescope for so long.

Now after much difficulty it was delivered, only to be borrowed and given away by Miss Zhao before he even got it; Dong Chenglang’s heart was bleeding.

Hopefully he can still get it back.

When Dong Chenglang went to find General Shi, the general was still playing with the telescope, praising it endlessly.

"It’s just missing a lens, didn’t expect it to become useless," General Shi sighed.

"I don’t know who in Daqi made this, they’re really smart."

General Shi’s wife saw this and laughed, "I’ve never seen anything make you so fond, were the gifts I just sent too meager?"

General Shi laughed, "Tomorrow Miss Zhao is your niece-in-law, there will be plenty of chances to spoil her in the future."

General Shi’s wife couldn’t help but laugh.

She really liked Miss Zhao.

Dong Chenglang quickly stepped forward, rushing over, breath unsteady, General Shi saw this and said, "Why are you here in such a hurry?"

Dong Chenglang called out "Uncle!" and pointed at the telescope, "Uncle, this telescope is mine."

"Yours?" General Shi frowned.

Dong Chenglang hurriedly explained, "This telescope was given to me, but it was packed with other items and sent to Miss Zhao..."

Inside the boudoir.

Dong Chenglang publicly declared the telescope was his.

The servant responsible for delivering goods to Miss Zhao from General Shi’s Mansion was dumbfounded.

But the goods were still delivered to Miss Zhao.

There was no reason to retrieve what had already been delivered to the Zhao family.

Such things were nothing to General Shi’s Mansion.

Miss Zhao thought the gift was too extravagant, just a telescope, she was only borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

The servant put down the goods and left.

The words Dong Chenglang said publicly also reached Miss Zhao’s ears.

Miss Zhao was dumbfounded on the spot.

"That telescope... was supposed to be his?" Her cheeks flushed.

The maid was also embarrassed.

Was the young lady misunderstanding the husband’s belongings as gifts for herself?

"If it wasn’t meant for you, why was it packed with the other items and sent to you?" the maid murmured.

Miss Zhao glared at the maid.

Everyone makes mistakes, especially when the gift was sent with good intentions.

Who would have thought the item would be misdelivered with such urgency to someone else’s hands?

Now that it’s been given away, what should she do?

Miss Zhao wanted to hide and didn’t know what to do, so she went to find Prime Minister Zhao.

Prime Minister Zhao didn’t expect the telescope wasn’t meant for his daughter either, besides, such things were more suited for the battlefield, why would it be given to his daughter...

Seeing his daughter worried, Prime Minister Zhao smiled, "General Shi is Marquis Changning’s nephew; let them sort it out themselves."

"Can the husband even get it back?" Miss Zhao’s maid asked cautiously.

"Unlikely."

"As long as it’s not in outsiders’ hands, it’s fine," Prime Minister Zhao comforted his daughter.

Miss Zhao didn’t know what to do; she couldn’t return the box sent by General Shi’s Mansion.

What a mess she’s made.

General Shi’s Mansion.

Dong Chenglang said the telescope belonged to him and wanted his uncle to give it to him.

Could General Shi give it to him?

Anything else in General Shi’s Mansion he could have, but not the telescope.

Giving it to him would be wasteful.

Dong Chenglang was anxious, "Uncle, this is really mine, I finally convinced Prince Zhenbei of Daqi to give it to me."

General Shi furrowed his brows, looked at his nephew, and said, "Since when did you have such a close relationship with Prince Zhenbei of Daqi?"

Dong Chenglang, "..."

Oh no.

In his haste, he let it slip.

Afraid of revealing Xie Jingchen’s identity, Dong Chenglang quickly remedied, "I got to know Prince Zhenbei through Young Master Zhao."

General Shi didn’t suspect anything.

The relations between Zhao Xu and Daqi Zhenbei Prince Mansion were known well by General Shi.

"Since you got the telescope through Young Master Zhao, it should be up to Prime Minister Zhao," General Shi said.

Dong Chenglang knew his uncle was going to be difficult.

How could he act like this as an elder?

To get back the telescope, he could only be more unreasonable.

Taking advantage of General Shi’s moment of inattention, Dong Chenglang snatched the telescope and ran.

General Shi’s wife was speechless.

This kid really deserved a beating.

Can he actually snatch something from his uncle?

If he truly had this skill, his uncle would be delighted.

General Shi hadn’t sparred with his nephew for a long time; if he dared to snatch, he’d definitely be confident.

General Shi swiftly blocked Dong Chenglang’s path.

Nephew and uncle began a fight in the room.

Dong Chenglang wasn’t relying on martial arts skills but the fact that he’s getting married tomorrow and can’t afford injuries.

Sure enough, General Shi’s wife promptly reminded, "He has a wedding tomorrow."

General Shi’s fist was about to hit Dong Chenglang’s face but was drawn back in time.

"For the sake of your wedding tomorrow, I won’t beat you," General Shi said.

Reaching out to snatch back the telescope.

Dong Chenglang held on tightly.

Afraid of damaging the telescope, General Shi didn’t dare use too much force.

The two were deadlocked.

"What, you’d rather shatter it than let me have it?" General Shi frowned.

Dong Chenglang’s face was full of hopelessness.

What could he do?

Would he truly shatter the telescope just so his uncle wouldn’t get it?

If he did that, he’d probably crawl out after a beating.

Dong Chenglang reluctantly let go, as General Shi took the telescope and sat back down.

General Shi’s wife laughed and said, "I think it’s best to give it to him, lest Miss Zhao feels embarrassed and can’t sleep all night."

Dong Chenglang thought his aunt was more kind and nodded vigorously.

But such nods were hitting the nail on the head.

General Shi glared at him and said, "What are you still standing there for?"

"Go tell Miss Zhao that you willingly gave the telescope to your uncle and reassure her."

Dong Chenglang, "..."

"Couldn’t you just give it directly to me?" Dong Chenglang protested.

General Shi glared at him, "Are you going or not?!"

"I’ll go..."

"I’m going right now."

Dong Chenglang ran out the door, the sun shining on him, feeling even more depressed.

He looked back at General Shi, his face as aggrieved as possible.

He didn’t get the telescope, almost got beaten, and has to say something against his will; just bullying him alone.
