It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

"General Meng, General, the Third Master Shangguan is here to give you something again."

The young general shouted loudly, and immediately the soldiers who were training started to make a noise.

"Mr. Third Shangguan, why don't you come in person? You always send a lot of things to the Swift Wind Camp."

"That's right. General Meng gave us the gifts without asking any questions. If Third Master Shangguan knew about this, he would be very sad."

"You two are bachelors, how can you understand the tug of war between men and women?"

"Tsk, you sound like you know a lot, but you're already divorced."

"Hey, let's just discuss, why do you have to make personal attacks?"

"Am I wrong? I..."

The young general who was talking excitedly turned his head and saw Meng Qiongyue's gloomy face. He was so scared that he almost wet his pants: "Meng, General Meng..."

"Are you free now?" Meng Qiongyue asked with a smile.

"Uh……"

The young man was so frightened that his brain went blank.

"Now, everyone, run 100 laps immediately. You are not allowed to eat dinner if you don't finish!"

"what?"

As soon as Meng Qiongyue finished speaking, there was a cry of grief at the scene.

"General Meng, we have been training for a whole day. If we do another hundred laps, won't that kill us?"

"That's right, General Meng. We know we were wrong. We will never gossip about you behind your back again."

"If you have time to gossip, it means you haven't been trained enough. If you are not satisfied, I can give you another 100 laps..."

At this moment, all the soldiers immediately shut up, turned right together, and ran in circles.

“I think what they said makes sense.”

Meng Qiongyue frowned and turned to look at Mu Yu who was walking towards her: "Are you also free? Then go and run with them."

"Since you were appointed general, you have taken charge of the Swift Wind Camp. The last time you left the camp was for the young master and young lady's full moon banquet. Qiongyue..." Mu Yu and Meng Qiongyue have been through life and death many times, and the two have long cultivated a friendship that goes beyond men and women. "You can put down the burden appropriately. We are by your side."

"I can't let it go."

Meng Qiongyue shook her head: "If it were before, I could still fool myself, and if anything went wrong, I would have Duke Lu to cover it up, but now I am a first-rank general, I have to take on greater responsibilities, and only if I set an example myself can the soldiers obey me."

"Military orders are as heavy as a mountain. Duke Lu has set up strict rules since the establishment of the Swift Wind Camp. A lot of improvements have been made over the years. Now everyone is strictly following them. And now everyone knows how glorious it is to be able to enter the Swift Wind Camp. So everyone is trying their best to get in. As long as you don't have any sudden ideas and follow the rules, there won't be any big problems." Mu Yu raised his head, landed on Meng Qiongyue's shoulder, and patted her gently a few times, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Go back and have a good rest for a few days."

"Got it, thank you."

Meng Qiongyue smiled at Mu Yu.

But the two of them didn't know that this ordinary scene just happened to fall into Shangguan Que's eyes.

In fact, he deliberately asked someone to send something over just now, with the purpose of predicting Meng Qiongyue's reaction.

The result was anger, immense anger.

Meng Qiongyue didn't know this, so she handed the matter over to her subordinates, said hello to Mu Yu and Li Yan, and rode home.

"Qiong Yue, why are you back?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an was excited to see her eldest daughter who she hadn't seen for a long time suddenly come back. "You're back just in time. You don't know that since you were appointed as a first-rank general, the matchmaker almost trampled the gate of the Marquis's mansion to pieces. Wait, I'll get the portrait for you now."

"Portrait? What portrait?" Meng Qiongyue felt a little uneasy.

"You are too busy to come back, so I asked the matchmaker to leave the man's portrait for you to choose from when you come back." Lady Yong'an thought her eldest daughter was being shy and rolled her eyes at her. "Other girls your age would have children running around."

"Mother, do you really want me to get married?" Meng Qiongyue was not angry, but just looked at her biological mother quietly.

"Of course. Look at your sister, she's about to give birth. I used to think Lu Bing was unreliable, but after seeing how much he cares about Zhu Xin, I recognize him as a son-in-law." Madam Yong'an sighed, "It's not easy for us women to find a man who is devoted to us. Qiongyue, let's pick a few that we like and meet up to get to know each other."

"It seems that for a woman, no matter how successful she is, her life will be incomplete if she doesn't get married and have children?" Meng Qiongyue could understand her parents' painstaking efforts, but she couldn't accept the fact that they couldn't wait to get her married, or maybe she was just tired during this period of time.

"Of course not. We women are supposed to take care of our husbands and children. This is our responsibility."

"If what mother said is true, and if I find a suitable marriage partner, then I will have to resign from my position as general, return to my mansion, and take care of my husband and children. Is that what you mean?"

"Uh..." Madam Yong'an did not expect her daughter to say that. "This can all be discussed. After the marriage, you will definitely have a child in half a year or a year at the earliest. Only with a child will you have a sense of belonging and a sense of responsibility."

"I am now protecting my country and shouldering the responsibility of Dazhao's safety. I have long understood what I have to bear. This has nothing to do with whether I have children or not, right?"

"What's wrong with you, kid? You finally come back and you talk back to me?"

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an glared at her eldest daughter and said, "Change your clothes as soon as possible. You hang out with a bunch of men every day. You stink to death."

Meng Qiongyue clenched her hands, then turned around and walked towards the door.

"Hey, Meng Qiongyue, where are you going?"

"Go back to the barracks."

"No, you just came back and you're leaving. Stop, I want to talk to you."

No matter how the wife of Marquis Yong'an shouted, Meng Qiongyue did not look back and walked straight out of the house.

After walking aimlessly on the street for a long time, she looked up and found herself at the pharmacy run by her sister.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, she was spotted by Lu Bing who was seeing off a guest: "Sister, is it really you? Zhu Xin mentioned you to me this morning."

"is it?"

Meng Qiongyue turned around and gave Lu Bing a forced smile: "I was just passing by, I..."

Lu Bing looked at Meng Qiongyue who was hesitant to speak, and immediately understood: "Sister, I just bought Zhuxin's favorite cakes. I'm too busy in the store and can't spare the time. Can you please deliver it to her?"

end of last year.

Lu Bing and Meng Zhuxin moved out of Wanning Marquis' Mansion and lived alone.

The new house is close to the pharmacy, and the couple lives more comfortably there.

"it is good."

"Then wait a moment, I'll go in and get it."

Half an hour later, Meng Qiongyue appeared at the Lu Mansion with pastries.
