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

Nanny Li always felt this was not a wise decision. What if something happened—she was worried the young lady might come to harm.


But then again, the young lady was no longer the same person she used to be. She had weathered even the massive turmoil instigated by the Lu Family. Surely, the Marquis Mansion wouldn't be able to manipulate her so easily.


"Miss, this servant will accompany you."


After much thought, she was still uneasy.


As dinnertime approached, Lu Yuan returned to the manor.


Ban Xia asked curiously, "What happened?"


Lu Yuan's gaze darkened. "Hai Pig has gone missing."


Lu Yuan sneered, "Indeed. The imperial edict was issued just this morning, and by noon he was already gone from the Prime Minister's Mansion."


Ban Xia sighed. "It seems he truly is suspicious. What about Sheep?"
