At this time, Butler Ye came.

"Young Madam, Miss Yayue has woken up and she wants to see you."

Yuan Buwei looked up at the sky and complained, "She slept for a really long time. Second brother, Zhuxin, can you two help me cut off the extra branches and leaves of the remaining medicinal herbs?"

"Okay, sister-in-law."

Lu Bing took the scissors from Yuan Buwei, watched her leave, and then said to Meng Zhuxin, "Second Miss Meng, don't do it. There aren't many anyway. I can finish trimming it quickly."

"Aren't you going to help Sister Bu Wei?" Meng Zhuxin squatted down and put the branches and leaves she had cultivated into the bamboo basket.

"I don't need to take care of the affairs between my elder brother and my sister-in-law, but..." Lu Bing said seriously, "If anyone bullies my elder brother and his sister-in-law, I will fight them to the death."

Meng Zhuxin laughed when she heard this, and looked at Lu Bing with her chin in her hands: "I thought you and the young marquis had the same father but different mothers, and he wasn't very close to your mother, so you would distance yourself from him or blame him."

"But the reputation of the Wanning Marquisate was earned by him. I have been weak since childhood and cannot wield a sword or a gun. Han'er is a girl and she is even less capable of that. Only my eldest brother can inherit his father's legacy. I enjoy the wealth and glory he brings me, but I resent him in my heart. Am I not an ungrateful person?" After Lu Bing finished speaking, he saw Meng Zhuxin staring at him and immediately thought of her relationship with her elder sister. "Second Miss Meng, what I mean is..."

"I see."

Meng Zhuxin interrupted Lu Bing with a smile: "I'm just a little envious."

"Don't envy me. I will treat you well in the future." After Lu Bing said this, he felt that this was too straightforward and his face turned red immediately.

"If I marry you, will you treat me well for the rest of my life? Will you never change your mind?"

"Of course." Lu Bing said without hesitation, "Just like my father and mother, they are still sweet and happy. Moreover, the Lu family has an ancestral precept that a man can only marry one wife. Anyone who breaks this rule will be whipped. I have seen the whip, it is as thick as a wrist. When hitting someone, it is softened by soaking it in salt water. There are barbs on it. One whip will definitely make the skin and flesh burst."

"I didn't expect that your Lu family's rules are so strict."

"Well, after you marry in, you will know more about the rules of the Lu family." Lu Bing smiled, "The sun is strong today, I will hurry up and trim the branches, and then I will take you to the lake in the back garden to fish for crayfish."

"crayfish?"

"Yes, it's the red, long worm with two big pincers in the lake. Last time, my sister-in-law asked someone to fish some out. After cooking it, it tasted delicious. You must have never eaten it."

I have clearly met Lu Bingcai a few times, but why do I feel so relaxed when I am with him?

Meng Zhuxin nodded: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

Room.

The moment Yuan Buwei stepped into the room, Yayue staggered down from the bed, knelt on the ground, her face full of tears: "Young Madam, I..."

"You don't need to explain. I already know everything about you. When the young marquis found out, he was furious."

Yayue was stunned for a moment, and looked up at Yuan Buwei in disbelief: "Young Madam, you mean..."

"You were rescued by the young marquis from the battlefield, and you traveled across mountains and rivers to bring his broken spear to the Wanning Marquis's mansion. On the surface, he said nothing, but in his heart he was very grateful to you. So the young marquis arranged a room for you in the courtyard where we live. This way, the servants will not dare to neglect you, and no one will bully you."

"Madam, is that true? I..." Yayue's eyes were filled with shock and joy. "I knew that General Lu was a soft-hearted person. He would definitely not ignore me."

"You can rest for half a day, wait..."

"Madam, no, I'm fine. I can go with you to see General Lu right now." Ya Yue wiped the tears from her face and smoothed her hair. She looked shy and excited like a little girl going to see her lover. "Madam, don't worry. I will never do anything that crosses the line. I just want to take good care of General Lu and repay him for saving my life."

"Everything is about fate. If you take good care of the young marquis, he will naturally keep it in mind. Of course, it is hard to say now about what will happen in the future." Yuan Buwei's words were very ambiguous.

But in Yayue's opinion, whether she could stay in Wanning Marquis' Mansion was entirely up to General Lu.

Then she will definitely work hard to let General Lu see her good qualities.

"Chenxiang, accompany Miss Yayue back to her original room to pack up her things. I'll be waiting for you at the gate of the courtyard."

"Yes."

Yuan Buwei had previously reminded Chenxiang and Yunling of this, and they understood it immediately.

Naturally, they will cooperate well.

"Miss Yayue, this way please."

"Thank you." Yayue did not expect that the maid beside the young lady would be so polite to her. It seemed that what happened last night must have caused a dispute between General Lu and the young lady. She had to take this opportunity to gain General Lu's trust as soon as possible.

After arranging a room for Yayue to stay in and giving her some reminders.

Yun Ling came over excitedly: "Madam, Mu Qing is here."

Yuan Buwei pulled Yun Ling's hand and said, "Keep a low profile."

"I know, I know." Yun Ling replied, but her face had a look of watching melons. She had even made a bet with Chenxiang to see whether Mu Qing and Yayue would fight. She bet they would fight, but Chenxiang definitely wouldn't. The bet was one month's salary.

After many days, Mu Qing came to Wanning Marquis Mansion again and could hardly contain his excitement.

But as soon as he walked into the yard, he saw Yuan Buwei standing in the yard.

Whenever I think about it, I realize that the miserable life I've been through during this period is all because of her.

Mu Qing's face immediately turned stern.

"Young Madam, why does she still look like someone owes her eight million?" Yun Ling, who was standing behind Yuan Buwei, couldn't help but say.

"It's out of the way."

Yuan Buwei replied, looking at Mu Qing who was approaching: "Long time no see, Deputy General Mu."

Mu Qing didn't even bother to greet her, and said coldly: "The young marquis asked me to come. I have to go see him now, so I don't have time to deal with you."

"That's great. I'll take you and Miss Yayue to see the young marquis."

"Ya Yue?"

Mu Qing then realized that there was a delicate woman standing behind Yuan Buwei: "Who is she?"

"She was the girl that the young marquis saved on the battlefield. She learned that the young marquis was ambushed by the enemy. After the enemy retreated, she risked her life to retrieve the young marquis's broken gun and even sent it to the young marquis from afar. The young marquis was grateful to her and learned that she was an orphan, so he let her stay in his mansion temporarily."

"Ridiculous! How could a weak woman possibly retrieve the young marquis's broken gun from the battlefield? You must be kidding!" Mu Qing had been to the battlefield and had some blood in him.

Ya Yue shrank her neck in fear: "Sir, I have no grudge against you, why are you questioning me?"
