Chen Yunniang covered her face and stared at Zhou fiercely. Her vicious gaze seemed to have solidified into substance, and she wished she could shoot Zhou into a sieve.

She struggled to get up and knelt in humiliation: "It was Yunniang who was disrespectful to Madam. I beg Madam to give me the antidote."

Zhou took a bite of the cake gracefully. "I don't know any medical skills, and I don't understand pharmacology. How can I have an antidote?"

"What exactly does it take for Madam to give me the antidote?"

Zhou winked at Mrs. Zhang, who immediately understood.

"Marriage is a woman's second life. You must keep your eyes open and find the right person."

"My son told me that you saved his life. To express my gratitude, I specially selected a good marriage for you."

"His name is Lu Wen. He's the coach of the Lu Family Army and a centurion. Even though he doesn't talk much, he's definitely a caring person."

"It would be a good marriage for you to marry him."

"As long as you live with him sincerely, he will never treat you unfairly."

Chen Yunniang looked at the dark and strong man in front of her, clenched her fists in hatred, and felt humiliated.

How could she, a county lady, marry a lowly warrior who didn't even have a rank?

"Mrs. Lu, you are going too far."

"I am at least a county lady. Even if I am not worthy of the high threshold of the general's mansion, I am always worthy of marrying a top scholar."

"You actually want me to marry a rough man?"

Zhou sneered: "How did you get to be the county lord? Do I need to remind you?"

"Besides, you have no background and no real ability. You know better than anyone how much value you have as a county lord."

"You are now carrying the halo of the county lord, you can be as glorious as you want."

"As time goes on, more and more people will come to seek medical treatment, and they are royal relatives that you cannot refuse. Can you guarantee that you will not reveal your true identity?"

"By then, forget about being a centurion. You won't even be worthy of being a beggar."

Chen Yunniang's face turned pale. What Zhou said was right. She would indeed face such a problem.

"If I marry him, can I stop the royal relatives from coming to seek medical treatment?"

"of course can."

"After the New Year, Lu Wen will go with the Lu family army to guard the border. Since you are a married woman who follows her husband, it is natural for you to follow him."

"Although the frontier is bitter and cold, you are the county lord. The local officials can only fawn on you. No one will suffer as much as you."

"You can hide away there and no one will seek medical treatment, so naturally no one will expose your identity."

"You can live on with the honor of being a county lady, and your children will also be noble people in the future."

Chen Yunniang was actually moved by Zhou's words, but she was still unwilling to marry a lowly and rough man.

Zhou suddenly changed her attitude: "Don't even think about marrying into the General's Mansion. If you're really capable of marrying in, I wouldn't mind asking other ladies to teach me how to discipline their daughters-in-law."

"I guarantee you won't survive more than three months in my hands."

"If you don't believe me, you can try it!"

"And your face. The poison will completely take effect in twenty-four hours. Even a god won't be able to cure it by then."

"Just take care of yourself."

"When you get married, I will give you the antidote."

Chen Yunniang gnashed her teeth in hatred. There were only two days left, and there was no room for her to maneuver.

"Mother Zhang, please show the guests out."

"Yes."

After Chen Yunniang left, Mo Shu immediately went to report the situation.

Lu Ziqian was reading a book, not even raising his eyelids, and said nonchalantly: "Well, Mr. Lu is a good man. If she can live a peaceful life, it would be a good destination for her."

"Madam even lynched Miss Chen and poisoned her!"

"She deserves it!"

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the man's eyes. Chen Yunniang had crossed his bottom line this time.

He has even extended his hand to the general's mansion and disturbed the family's unrest. Do you really think he will indulge you endlessly?

"Go down. You don't need to worry about the affairs of the mansion anymore. Go to the small courtyard in the east of the city and protect her secretly. Make sure she is safe."

"Yes."

The next day, many dignitaries and nobles in the capital received wedding invitations from the county lord's mansion.

"Chen Yunniang is getting married tomorrow?"

"So urgent?"

"Who is she going to marry?"

Su Yujiao was very surprised to hear the news.

Lu Ziqian wouldn't be in such a hurry, right? He wanted to make it a seamless transition, divorcing in the morning and getting married in the afternoon?

"I heard that she is going to marry a centurion named Lu."

"I don't know about the other servants."

"Let's talk about it. We know you're curious, so we came here specially to tell you."

Bai Qingrou's voice was heard at the door.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

"I'm here to help you solve your doubts."

"Come to you to gossip."

Su Yujiao learned from her two sisters-in-law everything that Chen Yunniang had experienced, and was stunned for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, to vent your anger, mother-in-law acted cruelly."

"Yes, my mother-in-law has always been kind. Her iron-blooded tactics yesterday were totally unlike her."

Will Chen Yunniang really get married and go to the frontier?

"What kind of poison did mother give her?"

"It's just the same venereal disease-like poison you used to scare people."

"That ointment is really poisonous. I got boils all over my face after applying it for a while. It's so disgusting."

"That slutty vixen Chen Yunniang was really scared."

"Sister-in-law, that slutty vixen has been sent away. No one will stir up trouble between you two anymore. So don't divorce your seventh brother."

"Seventh Brother will definitely treat you well?"

Su Yujiao was helpless: "Did mother send you to persuade me?"

They both shook their heads: "This is not what mother-in-law meant, this is what we meant."

"We are both women, how can we not see that you are deeply in love with your seventh brother."

"Now that my seventh brother has repented, you are about to have your hardship end and enjoy happiness. I just feel sorry for you."

Su Yujiao shook her head: "There's nothing to regret. The problem between him and me is not just about Chen Yunniang."

"Sisters-in-law, please stop trying to persuade me. It's useless to say more."

"You haven't eaten yet, right? I just made a few of my signature dishes. Why don't you stay and have lunch together?"

Seeing that they could not be persuaded, the two men said goodbye.

Su Yujiao was not in the mood to eat and just wanted to settle the divorce as soon as possible.

As a result, Su Yujiao waited until dark but did not see Lu Ziqian, but instead an uninvited guest arrived.

She frowned: "What are you doing here?"

Even though Chen Yunniang was wearing a veil, she could still recognize her.

"Jiaojiao, please help me. I know you can remove the poison from my face."

"I really don't want to marry that rude man. He's dark and ugly, and the sight of him makes me sick."

"Jiaojiao, as long as you help me heal my face, I will help you rescue cousin Yujing."

Su Yujiao stared at her closely: "Just you?"

"Yes, I have made a great contribution this time. As long as I ask the emperor for help, he will definitely release my cousin."

Su Yujiao sneered: "You think too highly of yourself."

"If you can really use the credit to save my brother, do you think I will easily give it to you?"

"Xiao Tao, show the guest out!"

In the end, Chen Yunniang left cursing.

The figure who had been hiding in the dark was looking at the woman in the yard with a playful look. Things were becoming more and more interesting!

He had been having the same dream these past few days, dreaming that the destined woman was about to appear.
