My stepmother is here, all the rebellious sons and evildoers should kneel down!

"He has been leading troops into battle since he was sixteen. Although he is young, he is definitely experienced! When my father was alive, he told me personally that General Ye's ability to lead troops is so great that even a veteran like him who has fought on the battlefield for half his life would feel ashamed!"

Wen Qiqi looked at Nian Sheng and said with regret: "So, Brother Nian! General Ye died for his country. Not only did I, Wen Qiqi, lose my husband! It is also a loss for the people of the world!"

"Ha ha……"

Niansheng suddenly laughed: "I don't know if this General Ye you mentioned is that powerful! But there is one thing I am sure of... He is not as good as you!"

"Not as good as me?"

Wen Qiqi was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Niansheng stood up, straightened his back, and stretched his shoulders: "Men, of course, understand men! Once they have real feelings for a woman, no matter how powerful they are, they may make a decision that ordinary people can't understand! On the other hand, you..."

Niansheng turned around and looked at Qiqi: "Calm, decisive, and has a sense of the overall situation! He is more capable than I thought!"

"My young lady is naturally powerful, but, Brother Nian, please don't let your imagination run wild. My young lady's heart has long been filled with no room for any other man except General Ye!"

Die Jiu smiled and said, "So, Brother Nian, please don't worship my young lady too much!"

"Little Nine!"

Wen Qiqi felt more and more that what he said was right. Ever since Die Jiu followed him out of the house, her temper has become more and more crazy!

"You can even joke like this with Big Brother Nian? Be careful or I'll really get mad!"

"Oh, Miss, I was wrong! I just...just thought that Brother Nian was our friend, so I said that! Brother Nian, please beg for mercy for me, don't let my Miss get angry with me!"

Die Jiu pretended to be about to cry, but Nian Sheng knew she was pretending: "I won't persuade you! Even if your young lady is not angry, I am still angry..."

"what?"

Die Jiu grinned and looked at Nian Sheng: "Brother Nian, you are not so stingy, are you?"

"Yes! You don't even let me dream, and I don't even have the chance to like your daughter, so why can't I be angry?" Niansheng squatted down and teased, "A toad wants to eat swan meat! Besides...even though I'm wearing a mask, I'm not as ugly as a toad!"

"Ha ha……"

Die Jiu and Wen Qiqi were both amused by Nian Sheng's humor.

The three of them felt that there was nothing to be embarrassed about. Perhaps this was the feeling of meeting a close friend, they could be free and casual and just say whatever they wanted to say.

"Brother Nian..."

Wen Qiqi suddenly stopped smiling and looked at Niansheng, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

Niansheng sat beside the spring and gently stirred the water.

He flicked his fingers on the water, his eyes fixed on the reflection of the full moon in the night sky in the spring water...

"Tell me, you two came to me late at night and told me so much. I'm afraid you have come up with some solution, but I'm the only one who can help you...right?"

"clever!"

Die Jiuyi jumped up and said, "Brother Nian, you just said you envied my daughter's mastery of military law, but I think you are even better! You are trying to manipulate people's hearts!"

Three days later, the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes were summoned by the Imperial Edict and prepared to lead their troops back to the capital.

To be honest, the two princes were not happy.

Since defeating the Luoqun Army in East City last time, the morale of the soldiers in the army has been greatly boosted. The Thirteenth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince are even planning their next proactive attack. Unexpectedly, the Emperor ordered them to return to Beijing as soon as possible and withdraw the troops. He also pardoned the two generals and held a celebration banquet for them to attend...

This series of actions caught the Thirteenth and Fourteenth Princes off guard.

However, the imperial edict had already been delivered to the military camp, and the two had no choice but to do as it was told.

"Qiqi, since you have already asked Xinyi to go back to the Wen Mansion to explain Diejiu's pregnancy, I'm sure your sisters won't blame her. It was really abrupt for you to follow us out of Kyoto this time. When you go back, first settle Diejiu down, and then apologize to your sisters."

The Thirteenth Prince doesn't want Qiqi to be stranded outside.

No matter how good her relationship with Diejiu was, she couldn't just end up living out in the world like this...

If He Li was in a bad mood, it would be fine to come out to relax and have some fun for a while. But now that more than two months have passed, it is time for her to focus and return home.

Seeing that Wen Qiqi agreed, the Thirteenth Prince smiled slightly.

This was the first time the two spoke after Niansheng left.

Although Qiqi was still reluctant to pay attention to me, she finally nodded and even smiled a little.

"Qiqi is probably homesick."

The Fourteenth Prince pursed his lips and smiled: "Originally, the Emperor asked you and me to return to the capital as soon as possible, and I felt very unhappy! But seeing Qiqi smiling, I actually felt that going back was a good thing!"

"kindness."

The Thirteenth Prince said, "Since she married into the Lu Mansion, she has lived in seclusion and has been doing the work of an ordinary mistress. She has long been unaccustomed to the dangers outside and the hardships of the battlefield. I think she has suffered a lot during this period and regretted leaving the capital rashly!"

"Qiqi is fine, after all, she is from a military family! If it were any other daughter, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to survive a single day in the military camp! Haha... Women are women, and only men can do the job of killing the enemy!"

The Fourteenth Prince has always been a bit chauvinistic, yet lovable. Presumably, due to the careful planning of the Thirteenth Prince, he has become more decisive and casual.

"It's just that Qiqi is really willful this time! Although Xinyi was allowed to go back, she should first explain it to the sisters in the Wen Mansion! She shouldn't cause the sisters in the Wen Mansion to panic in front of the emperor..."

The Fourteenth Prince thought about it carefully, and then continued worriedly, "But I'm always afraid that her sisters will look at me with harsh eyes! Thirteenth Brother, how about this, after we return to the capital, we can go to the Wen Mansion together. I think Wen Ruofeng and Wen Ruoxue will say less for our sake!"

The Thirteenth Prince ordered his men to put away the maps and books, and raised his lips as he looked at the Fourteenth Prince: "You have always been so good to Qiqi! You even told me that you have already regarded Qiqi as your sister... I am afraid you have deceived me!"

"Hey, brother Thirteen!"

The Fourteenth Prince said angrily, "You must have gone crazy from fighting! They say that all is fair in war, but that's not the case between you and me... I'm doing this for Qiqi's own good, and I may never let go of this preference for the rest of my life! I admit it! I like Qiqi! But Thirteenth Brother, these days, I always feel that the most important reason why Qiqi followed us here is to see the cliff..."

A trace of sadness appeared in the Fourteenth Prince's eyes.

Even if Wen Qiqi didn't say it, he could feel it.

In Wen Qiqi's heart, she is worried, reluctant and unwilling.

"So, Thirteenth Brother, I have already let it go! Qiqi has neither Thirteenth Brother nor me in her heart! She only has General Ye! So, in the days ahead, I just hope that she can sincerely treat us two as brothers, and for me, it would be good to have another little sister that she likes!"

The Fourteenth Prince's innocent smile actually made the Thirteenth Prince feel uneasy.

The reason why he couldn't be as calm and composed as his fourteenth brother was because he loved him more deeply or because of the unspeakable guilt?
