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

The box was indeed empty, with no hidden compartments or secret panels.  


Meng Qianqian's first reaction was that the contents inside had been taken, but it definitely wasn't Xiao Li. Xiao Li didn't understand Sanskrit; even if she had accidentally opened it by an improbable stroke of luck, she wouldn't have hidden this fact before her death.  


If it was taken by someone, then what was their purpose? Why not take the entire box along?  


What meaning does leaving an empty box behind have?  


To confuse Lin Wan'er? To frame Lin Wan'er?  


Lu Yuan mused, "One possibility is that someone got to it first, and the other is that it was originally empty. I lean toward the latter."  


After all, even the real Lin Wan'er was merely the daughter of Shen Hou, not Shen Hou himself. Framing her or confusing her would accomplish nothing.  


Meng Qianqian turned the box over and examined it carefully: "Why would Hai Pig wait for an empty box? What is so special about this box?"
