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.

Xun Yu gazed intently at Lu Yuan, seeing Lu Yuan's sincere expression, his face softened. "It's good that you think this way. Everything Father does is for the Great Zhou. In his heart, you are his most cherished adopted son. He would never allow harm to come to you."


Lu Yuan nodded with a smile. "Foster Father has treated me with a kindness as weighty as a mountain. Ayuan will surely remain loyal to him and devote my life in service to him."


Xun Yu patted his shoulder. "Your loyalty, I will convey it to Father. By the way, Ayuan, what exactly happened that night? Why did the Supreme Emperor let you leave the mountain so easily? My father and I originally planned to plead on your behalf at court, offering military merits in exchange for your safety."


Lu Yuan had once stayed at the Prime Minister's Mansion; this was no secret.
