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

Qing Shuang and Yu Zichuan returned to the Governor Mansion.


"Do you need me to accompany you to see him?"


Qing Shuang shook his head, "No need, I'll go on my own."


Yu Zichuan did not insist. He took his large bow, climbed onto the rooftop, and began a meticulous and elaborate bow-cleaning process.


Qing Shuang entered the main courtyard and stood at the door of the study: "Grand Commander."


Lu Yuan said, "There's no need to say anything; tomorrow, continue to serve by Bao Shu's side."


Qing Shuang stared blankly at Lu Yuan inside the study for a long while, then knelt on one knee: "Yes!"


The Old Matriarch slept until the sun was high in the sky. The first thing she did upon waking was to look for Lu Yuan: "Where's my great-grandson-in-law? I remember I found him… Did I bring him down the mountain? Where's Qianqian? Qianqian! Is my great-grandson-in-law around?"
