The hero fell for the cannon fodder maid.

An old man in his sixties, wearing a high-quality cotton coat, stood in front of a mansion gate, looking at Zheng Tiaodi with a serious face.

When Zheng Tiaodi saw her grandfather, she was so scared that she hid behind Xiao Wanyue.

Xiao Wanyue was a little confused about who this person was. He Jingming saw a clear smile on the man's face.

He pulled Xiao Wanyue to the old man. Xiao Wanyue took a look at the plaque of the mansion, which read "General's Mansion of the Nation" in gold foil.

Xiao Wanyue knew the identity of the old man in front of her, He Jingming's maternal grandfather and Zheng Tiaodi's grandfather.

This was a bit awkward, she felt like she was meeting the parents.

Her hand was still in He Jingming's hand. She struggled for a while but couldn't break free, so she could only let him hold it.

Several people walked up to the old man, and the old man's face suddenly became gentle, no longer as serious as before.

When his eyes fell on Xiao Wanyue's face, he smiled. He thought the girl was quite pretty, with clear eyes, and was a good woman.

He nodded repeatedly, even ignoring He Jingming next to him.

He looked at Xiao Wanyue, who felt a little embarrassed. Her face turned red, and she didn't know how to address He Jingming's grandfather.

His gaze moved behind Xiao Wanyue again, his expression suddenly changed again, and his eyes were about to spit fire.

Zheng Tiaodi was about to cry when she saw the look in her grandfather's eyes. Her grandfather used to dote on her very much and would never say a harsh word to her. But since coming to the capital, her grandfather has changed.

He Jingming stepped forward and saluted, "Grandfather."

Zheng Bailu retracted his oppressive gaze and said with a smile: "Chengyi, why are you here?"

He Jingming: "I came here specially to see you today."

Zheng Bailu: "Haha, okay, who is the girl next to you? Oh, why do I feel like I've seen this girl somewhere before?"

He Jingming: "Grandfather, this is the beloved person I was talking about. I want to bring her to see you today."

Zheng Bailu: "Okay, this girl is really beautiful. You have good taste. What's her name?"

Xiao Wanyue bowed deeply and said, "Grandpa General, my name is Xiao Wanyue."

Zheng Bailu: "Haha, good boy, from now on you will follow Cheng Yi and call me grandpa!"

Xiao Wanyue: Isn’t this a bit too early? But seeing the old general’s happy face and He Jingming’s expectations of her, she still agreed.

"Xiao Wanyue has met grandfather."

Zheng Bailu: "Hey, Grandfather doesn't have any gifts for you, so I'll give you this."

As he spoke, he took out a small jade pendant from his belt and handed it to Xiao Wanyue.

Xiao Wanyue looked at He Jingming and accepted the gift only after seeing him nod. What is this jade pendant? It is exquisite and small, and the whole body is translucent and of extraordinary appearance. Isn't this thing too expensive?

Xiao Wanyue: "Grandfather, isn't this too precious?"

Zheng Bailu: "No, this thing was originally intended for Cheng Yi's mother, but I didn't have the chance to give it to her at the moment. Now I give this jade pendant to you as a token of my appreciation."

He looked at the jade pendant with some reluctance. He had been wearing it for nearly ten years. It was originally his daughter's thing, so let him give it to the woman that Cheng Yi would like in the future.

Xiao Wanyue didn't expect that this jade pendant was actually a gift for He Jingming's mother.

I guess this thing is of great significance to General Zheng.

Zheng Bailu said, "Let's go to the mansion and have dinner here today."

He Jingming: "It's my grandfather."

Several people entered the general's mansion. Xiao Wanyue didn't expect to come to He Jingming's grandfather's house today. She didn't buy anything. She had to give some gifts when visiting the elders.

She stopped thinking about it once she entered the General's Mansion because she saw a lot of bronze skin.

At first glance, you can tell that these people are the soldiers who followed General Zheng through thick and thin, and they are training here.

Xiao Wanyue's eyes were wide open. She didn't expect that they would train here and everyone had muscles.

He Jingming pulled Xiao Wanyue and found that something was wrong with the people around him. His face turned dark.

He didn't expect that Xiao Wanyue was actually looking at those strange men.

He hugged her in his arms, and Xiao Wanyue regained her composure.

She felt like she was being caught and was so embarrassed that she could only snuggle in his arms obediently.

She really didn't mean it. She walked over and looked at Zheng Tiaodi behind her.

After all, they really have the same hobby. Zheng Tiaodi is drooling.

No, she wasn't. She just admired whether these men's muscles were hard. After all, she had never really touched them.

Several people arrived at the front hall. Today, everyone in their family was on duty, and only a few female family members were at home. As soon as Zheng Tiaodi came back, her mother's maid went back to the yard to report.

Zheng Tiaodi's mother was also rushing to the front hall.

The maid quickly brought tea and fruit. General Zheng sat at the top, Xiao Wanyue and He Jingming sat at the bottom, and Zheng Tiaodi sat even below Xiao Wanyue.

Xiao Wanyue and Zheng Tiaodi were both a little reserved.

Especially Xiao Wanyue, she was really a little uncomfortable.

He Jingming said, "Grandfather, what happened to Tiaodi? Didn't you ask her to stay at home and learn the etiquette and rules?"

Xiao Wanyue, Zheng Tiaodi: What does this person mean? Why do I feel like he is implying something about Zheng Tiaodi?

This is the first time I feel that He Jingming is quite sinister. He is secretly saying that Zheng Tiaodi is hanging out on the streets all day.

I don’t know when Zheng Tiaodi offended He Jingming.

General Zheng at the top was a rogue for a moment. His granddaughter was a real worry to him. She was a little stupid when she was at the border, and they were worried about what would happen to her if they all died. Now she has become better and started to act wild again, and he is worried too.

If this girl is like this, how will she get married in the future?

"Well, I will punish her well. She will have a blast in the capital."

Zheng Tiaodi had a face full of bitterness and resentment. She felt so wronged. The main reason was that the capital was not fun at all. Those noble ladies always looked at her with arrogance and contempt, which made her angry.

Life in ancient times was so difficult. One had to follow the Three Bonds and Five Constant Virtues, as well as clan etiquette. It’s hard to even think about it.

I feel uncomfortable when I think about my grandpa and others becoming more and more strict with me.

After they talked for a while, Zheng Tiaodi's mother came to the front hall, bowed and scolded Zheng Tiaodi, telling him not to run around.

It is enough to see how much Zheng Tiaodi's mother loves and cares for her.

Xiao Wanyue looked at them with some envy, and wondered when she would be able to see her parents again.

It was getting late, so General Zheng called He Jingming to his study. He still wanted to find out what his grandson thought.

Xiao Wanyue, Zheng Tiaodi, and Zheng Tiaodi's mother stayed in the hall to chat, and they were in a very discordant mood.

On one side, the general's study.

General Zheng sat on a stool and asked, "Chengyi, you like that Miss Xiao, and you plan to marry her, right?"

He Jingming didn't know why his grandfather asked this question, so he answered honestly, "Yes, Grandfather, I have decided to marry Miss Xiao."

General Zheng's face was very serious. He didn't know how to tell Zhao Chengyi about that matter, but the descendants of their Zheng family could not be such treacherous people. He stood up and started looking for it on the bookshelf at the back.

He Jingming became even more confused. He felt that his grandfather must have some purpose in asking him this question.

But he just didn't know what it was, and this matter didn't seem simple.

General Zheng searched for a long time before he took out a bright yellow scroll from an exquisite wooden box.

He Jingming took a look and realized that what his grandfather was holding was an imperial edict.

Where did my grandfather get the imperial edict? He hasn't issued any imperial edicts during this period. It looks like the imperial edict is not from this period, which means that his father has not issued it yet.

General Zheng handed the imperial edict directly to Zhao Chengyi, wanting him to make the decision himself.

He took out the imperial edict only after hearing that the legitimate daughter of Prince Zhennan had returned.

Zhao Chengyi was a little curious when holding the imperial edict. He slowly opened it and saw that it said: The legitimate daughter of the Prince of Zhennan is specially granted to be the wife of the Crown Prince.

He Jingming could no longer concentrate on reading anything, his mind was filled with the words "Prince's Wife".

The joy in my heart is beyond words.

General Zheng was a little confused. What was wrong with his grandson? Why was he so excited?
