Pian Fangfang

Meng Qianqian, at the age of 15, married into the Lu Family to bring joy to the elderly matriarch.

On the wedding night, urgent news arrived from the border that her husband had been commanded to go to war. Six months later, he tragically died at the hands of Beiliang soldiers.

Five years later, the husband who had been presumed dead returned, and by his side was an ethereal mute woman named Wan'er.

Lu Lingxiao said that Wan'er was the descendant of a loyal and righteous family, entirely different from her—a merchant girl reeking of copper coins. He claimed Wan'er was a true paragon of noble character.

Lu Lingxiao also said that Wan'er was an eagle soaring in the heavens, while someone like her was nothing more than a fragile flower, unworthy of comparison.

It was not until the land was broken, the city walls fell, and she wielded a Red Tassel Spear to crush countless soldiers that Lu Lingxiao realized he had misjudged her.

She was not a delicate flower confined within the depths of the mansion; she was the fiercest west wind of Yumen Pass.

Crowned by the Treacherous Big Shot

Princess Wanping was deeply engrossed in the fantasies she had woven for herself, unable to extricate herself. Granny Liao dared not shatter her daydreams, fearing that her mistress might act rashly and harm herself.


Besides, the Princess was exaltedly noble and beautiful—who wouldn't want to marry her? Perhaps Lu Yuan did harbor some feelings for the Princess, but considering he had killed her brother, who was born of the same mother, and imprisoned her father, who doted on her the most, there was indeed no way the two could ever be together.


Granny Liao sighed; even she found it far-fetched.


At this moment, Meng Qianqian had no idea what the mistress and servant pair were pondering. Otherwise, she surely would have quipped, "You royal family folks are truly out of your minds."


The Empress bestowed Meng Qianqian with a box of jewelry, an antique inkstone slab, and a box of exquisite and tasty pastries. The inkstone was meant for Lu Yuan, and the pastries were for Bao Shu.
