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 stroked her chin: "A noble?"


Princess Wanping reminisced: "I was still young back then, I don't remember clearly. I only recall my mother mentioning that noble, and also mentioning the Old Madam."


Meng Qianqian asked: "Did you ever ask the Supreme Emperor about it afterwards?"


Princess Wanping shook her head: "I pretended to be asleep. My mother held me and secretly brought it up with her confidant. Though I was young, I understood this was something my mother shouldn't have knowledge of. If I asked, it could bring disaster upon her."


Meng Qianqian gossiped: "Was that confidant someone under Prime Minister Xun?"


Princess Wanping shot Meng Qianqian a sharp glare.


Meng Qianqian raised an eyebrow: "You know, to keep life moving, sometimes you just have to let a little green on your head."
