Sima Ruodan followed the vice general into the gates of the Ye Mansion. On the way to meet Ye Shouguan, the vice general introduced himself as Ye Shouguan's vice general, surnamed Zhao. Only then did she, as if meeting a relative, whispered, "Before I came, my mother said... My grandmother and mother have a terrible relationship with my uncle. If anything happens, I can seek help from Vice General Zhao."
Vice General Zhao, hearing this, was utterly convinced that Sima Ruodan was the daughter of Ye Yingnan. He reassured Sima Ruodan, "Those are just grudges between elders. The general is a broad-minded person and won't involve the grudges of the previous generation with the younger ones, so feel at ease, young lady."
