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.

Lu Yuan poured himself a cup of hot tea with an indifferent expression: "Did this governor ask you to pry into the Lu Family's gossip?"


Qing Shuang responded with an "oh," bowed, and headed out.


Lu Yuan said coldly, "Why are you leaving?"


Yu Zichuan replied, "I want to listen."


Lu Yuan snorted coldly and leisurely picked up his teacup.


Qing Shuang recounted what had occurred in the Lu Family. When she mentioned that Meng Qianqian had proposed a separation from Lu Lingxiao, Lu Yuan froze mid-sip.


Yu Zichuan asked curiously, "And then?"


Qing Shuang, trained as a scout and a death warrior, was adept at detecting danger but lacked an understanding of emotions. Therefore, whatever Lu Lingxiao's expression had meant back then, she couldn't discern.


Yu Zichuan picked up his bow and arrows and walked out.


Lu Yuan tapped the table: "Urgent report."
