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

Dou Qingyi was in shock for a long time after hearing that the Crown Prince had brought back a woman.


Did His Highness not enter the Imperial Palace today?


How could he have brought back a woman?


If, at this moment, the imperial edict for the betrothal has yet to arrive at the Crown Prince Mansion, then it is likely it will not come at all.


This would also explain why Eunuch Zhen had fled earlier as though in a panic—surely there had been some mishap regarding the betrothal edict.


Dou Qingyi clenched her fists and said to her personal maid, "Hui Zhi, go find Steward Jia and have him figure out what exactly happened."


The personal maid Hui Zhi left to carry out her orders.


Steward Jia had only recently been punished with a beating a few days ago, and now he was resting in his room to recover.
