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.

Meng Qianqian said, "Where is your master? I'll carry her over."


The nursemaid discreetly sought instructions from the Commander of the Jinyi Guard hidden in the trees.


The nursemaid smiled and said, "Much obliged to this lady. Please, follow me."


The two of them headed to a small courtyard.


As they passed a small garden, Lu Linglong, who was wandering nearby, spotted them.


"Meng family? Where is she taking a child? And who's that with her? Sneaky, something's off!"


The nursemaid led them to the meditation room and quietly slipped away.


Meng Qianqian had no choice but to carry Bao Shu inside herself.


She kept her gaze steady as she stepped forward, holding the drowsy Bao Shu, and knelt opposite Lu Yuan: "Greetings, Grand Commander."
