After dinner, Shangguan Qing told his servants to go to bed early, and then returned to the room with Lightning.

The two of them lay in bed with their clothes on, and Lightning suddenly spoke: "Master, will he really come?"

Shangguan Qing smiled slightly: "Yes, I will definitely come. If I don't come tonight, it will be even harder to wait for an opportunity in the future."

Lightning asked with a puzzled look on his face, "But, Master, if that's the case, why don't you ask the prince to send more people? Wouldn't that be safer?"

Shangguan Qing smiled calmly, "If we send too many people, it will easily alert the enemy and make him afraid to come. Lightning, tonight you only need to be responsible for controlling the man. Leave the rest to me. I will break his arm with my own hands, and then you find a chance to let him go."

Lightning still didn't quite understand, but he didn't ask any further.

As an excellent secret guard, you should not be too curious.

Shangguan Qing looked at Lightning with amusement and said, "Lightning, women are naturally curious. If you have anything else you want to ask, just ask."

Lightning blushed, feeling a little embarrassed: "Master, you are really different."

Shangguan Qing smiled: "Isn't it good to be special? From now on, follow me and I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."

Lightning couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Master, it seems that you only promise delicious food and spicy drinks."

Shangguan Qing couldn't help but fall into deep thought after hearing this. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.

She suddenly realized the problem and said with a smile, "Lightning, let me ask you a question. Do you have someone you like? If so, I am willing to make the decision for you and help you propose marriage."

Lightning's eyes widened, and he looked at Shangguan Qing in surprise. He stammered, "Miss... Miss, I don't have any. Besides, Secret Guards are not allowed to get married."

Shangguan Qing was very surprised after hearing this: "Ah? What kind of perverted rule is this! Since two people are in love, why can't they get married? This is also the inevitable trend of human development. Don't worry, you don't have to care about what others think, just follow your own heart. If you have someone you like, I will fully support you and make the decision for you."

When Lightning heard this, a touch of emotion flashed in his eyes and tears flowed uncontrollably.

She suddenly knelt down, choking with sobs, and said, "Miss, thank you. Lightning is already very lucky. Thanks to the master, your servants can live in the sunshine."

When Shangguan Qing saw Lightning kneeling down, the smile on his face instantly disappeared, replaced by a look of displeasure: "Lightning, you know my rules."

Lightning was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said firmly to Shangguan Qing: "Master, thank you."

Shangguan Qing was satisfied, "Lightning, go to sleep first. That person can't come so early."

Lightning nodded, and the two of them fell asleep slightly.

At this time, Shangguan Yue of the Second House was walking around the room, saying unhappily, "This is too much, too much. They didn't even give us a servant."

Yumei was even more annoyed. "Isn't it your fault for being so soft-hearted? If you had taken action earlier, this wouldn't have happened."

Shangguan Yue was furious. "You ignorant woman, what do you know? Can you find what the emperor wants?"

Yumei was also unconvinced. "You've been looking for her for so many years and still can't find her. Now you still rely on my son. Let me tell you, Shangguan Yue, I rely on my son now. Without my son, you would have been kicked out by now."

Shangguan Xi was very displeased when he saw the two people arguing. "Stop arguing. Find what the emperor wants as soon as possible. Then this general's mansion will naturally be ours. And..."

Shangguan Xi's gaze fell on Shangguan Qingcheng, and he said expressionlessly, "Sister, you should win the Crown Prince's favor as soon as possible and marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion as soon as possible. This is the key."

Shangguan Qingcheng was a little unsure, "But brother, my current identity..."

Shangguan Xi looked at his sister, a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. "What? You dare to talk to me about status? In what way is your status inferior to ours? Status is something you have to earn yourself. You must have sufficient means. Look at you now. Do you want to be the next foolish Shangguan Qing?"

Shangguan Xi’s words were hurtful enough that Shangguan Qingcheng couldn’t bear the blow. She turned around and ran out of the room crying.

Yumei hurriedly chased after her. Shangguan Qingcheng returned to her room and looked at the empty house. Despair welled up in her heart. She hugged Yumei tightly and burst into tears, "Mom, how could it become like this? I am the daughter that the Shangguan family is proud of!"

Yumei hugged her daughter distressedly, her eyes filled with pity. She softly comforted her, "Qingcheng, from the moment I gave birth to you, I hoped you would become the proudest woman. We always hoped you would become the Crown Princess, ascend to the throne, and become someone admired by all the women in the world. However, reality has changed, and you should learn to adapt and change."

Shangguan Qingcheng listened to her mother's words and her heart gradually began to waver.

Yumei continued, "I won't hide it from you. When I was a beggar, I did everything. I even snatched food from stray dogs, but so what? From the moment I met Yuhe, I realized my chance had come. I seized it and successfully became the daughter of the Yu family. At first, I had my eyes on Yuhe's husband, but he was a rigid and boring man, so I resolutely chose to be with your father and gave birth to your brother. After I married your father, we worked together to eradicate them, which is why you have the luxurious life you enjoy in the general's mansion today."

Shangguan Qingcheng widened her eyes, her face full of astonishment. Although she already knew this, she was still shocked to hear Yumei say it in person.

Yumei held Shangguan Qingcheng's hand tightly and said earnestly, "My daughter, if a woman wants to survive in this world, she must learn to seize every opportunity. Now that you have almost no chance of becoming the Crown Princess, you should seize the current opportunity, get pregnant with the Crown Prince's child as soon as possible, and strive to give birth to his eldest son."

Shangguan Qingcheng widened her eyes in disbelief.

Yumei continued to indoctrinate, "Don't worry, such an opportunity will come soon. The prince will definitely not refuse a beauty like you, my daughter. Plus, you've gained a lot of weight recently, which is exactly the type men like."

Shangguan Qingcheng lowered her head shyly, and Yumei had already handed Shangguan Qingcheng a booklet, "Study hard first, and mother will prepare everything for you later."

Shangguan Qingcheng's face was already red, and she began to study after Yumei left.

When Yumei returned to the yard, she didn't see Shangguan Yue at all. She angrily rushed into Wang's yard and started making a scene.

Since there was no servant to stop her, she broke into the house directly.

"You are so good, Wang, you vixen! You are still seducing the master!" Yumei cursed with gritted teeth.

Wang's eyes were filled with tears, and she looked very innocent: "Madam, I really didn't do that! If you don't believe me, you can ask the master!"

Shangguan Yue originally wanted to calm the situation down, but Yumei had no intention of giving up.

"Bitch, you're not even as good as the ones in the brothel!"

Yumei cursed viciously.
