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

Lady Yan frowned oddly, "What kind of nonsense is this?"


She wasn't pretending to play along; she truly found Xun Qi's words baffling.


Given Lady Yan was unaware of the sequence of events, her reaction was perfectly reasonable. It also served to prove that Lady Yan hadn't obtained any further information from the Governor Mansion.


Lady Yan and the Governor Mansion did not appear to be collaborating.


Xun Qi glanced at his foster father, as though he had something to say.


The Prime Minister said to Lady Yan, "Return to Wanflower Pavilion first."


Xun Qi said to Xun Liu, "Sixth Brother, I'll trouble you to keep watch outside."


Xun Liu stationed himself at the study's entrance.


The two were not blood brothers, but among the seven, Xun Liu was the closest to Xun Qi and consistently followed his lead.


Xun Qi cupped his hands in salute, "Foster Father, I spoke out of turn in front of Lady Yan earlier."
