You died to save me, I promise you a lifetime

Back to the general's mansion in the carriage.

The grandfather and grandson, one holding the imperial edict and the other carrying cakes, left the palace in silence.

Once I got on the carriage, my tense nerves finally relaxed.

Putting down the things, Mu Yunge's eyes were red as he happily threw himself into the old man's arms: "Grandfather, I'm free!"

"Yes, our Ge'er is free now. From now on, the sky is high and the earth is wide. You can do whatever you want, and you can find a husband you like. You are no longer controlled by others."

"Thank you, Grandfather. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid today wouldn't be so smooth."

The old man's eyes darkened, "Today went so smoothly, grandfather is one aspect of it, but the most important thing is that the border is constantly under war, and the emperor still needs your father and brother to guard the border.

Furthermore, the Emperor issued the imperial decree granting the marriage without seeking the consent of our General's Mansion. This was both a test and a warning. Furthermore, what those two bastards did last night was too absurd, and the Emperor couldn't face it."

Mu Yunge sat up straight. "Our General's Mansion has been guarding the border for Great Yan for generations. Now they are afraid of us even though we are still fighting. If there is no war, hehe..."

The old man patted Mu Yunge's back lightly without saying anything.

When the birds are gone, the good bows are put away. The general's achievements are so great that they frighten his master. Although he is loyal to the general's mansion, he cannot escape such a fate.

A wise bird chooses the right tree to roost in, and it seems inevitable.

"Those few people are really quick. If the emperor's order hadn't been issued when they arrived, would they have influenced his decision?"

"There will definitely be some hesitation, but as long as we persist, he will eventually agree reluctantly. However, if we do that, the Emperor will be even more displeased with us."

"But the Emperor and you seem to get along well?"

"It's not that he and Grandpa get along well. He loved to travel when he was young and has a strong interest in the outside world."

"Grandfather, his face looks very rosy..."

"He does look healthy."

At this point, both the grandfather and grandson fell silent.

Now that the wedding is cancelled, some people may take a series of measures, but it is unclear whether this will speed up the process.

There was no way they would be willing to let the General's Mansion slip away from their control.

As the carriage entered the general's mansion, Guo Shu, who had been waiting near the gate, trotted nervously to meet them.

"Dad, Ge'er, how is it?"

The old man raised the imperial edict in his hand, and Guo Shu was so happy that her eyes were filled with tears.

"That's good, Ge'er doesn't have to marry that bastard.

You don't know, as soon as you left, that bastard came, carrying a few thorns on his back, saying he came to apologize and insisted on seeing Ge'er. He knelt for a short while, and then for some reason he got up and ran away."

Mu Yunge smiled and explained, "Because he heard from his spies outside the door that we had left the house, and he guessed that we had entered the palace, so he ran back to get reinforcements to try to stop us."

Guo Shu patted her chest and asked, "Did they stop you?"

"No, they arrived a step too late. The emperor's order had already been issued by the time they arrived."

The three generations happily went to the flower hall. After resting for a while, the old man said to Mu Yunge, "You should take good rest. I think there will be trouble in the afternoon."

Guo Shu went to prepare lunch, Mu Yunge returned to his Xianyunju, and the old man, with his hands behind his back, returned to his Songheyuan.

Xianyunju.

As soon as Mu Yunge returned to Xianyunju, several maids from all directions surrounded her and asked, "Miss, is it done?"

"Thanks to everyone, it's done. I'm free, miss!"

"That's great! Miss finally doesn't have to marry that shameless bastard!"

Mu Yunge looked at everyone and said, "There's even better news. I've won the freedom to marry. No one can use marriage to bind me anymore."

"In this way, Miss won't have to be controlled by others anymore, and won't be treated as a big fat piece of meat that everyone wants to take a bite of." An Nan pounced on Mu Yunge.

The master and servant automatically ignored Annan's inappropriate metaphor, hugged each other happily, and jumped and danced. Their noise could be heard outside Xianyunju.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally calmed down.

"Now that the affair between the two has been exposed, they can no longer use the marriage to plot against the General's Mansion. But this also means that the General's Mansion is a hot commodity, and everyone wants a piece of it."

Mu Yunge blew away a strand of hair that was scattered on his face.

"Anyway, we've achieved a preliminary victory. From now on, we'll just have to deal with whatever comes our way. It's just a tough battle, and this isn't our first time fighting."

"That's right, what kind of cunning enemy haven't we seen before?"

Mu Yunge walked to the table, wrote a small note, and handed it to Annan, "Let Huihui and Dudu go to the grocery store."

I have to tell him that I have cancelled my engagement after entering the palace.

Annan took the note, went into his room, released Huihui and Dudu, folded the note into small squares, and put them in Huihui's small cloth bag.

He took out Shopkeeper Yang's supplies and let them sniff them, then patted the two little guys' butts and said, "Go, there's a reward when you come back."

The two little guys squeaked twice and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

In just a stick of incense, the two little ones came back happily, each with a few melon seeds in their small cloth bags.

"Well done, I'll give you some meat."

Annan touched their heads and took out two small pieces of roasted meat as a reward for them.

Annan returned to Mu Yunge's room and saw several people surrounding Anton, listening to Anton talk about the exciting duel last night.

“Miss, you don’t know that the prince uses his troops and divine power!

In addition to us, there are three other groups of people on the mountain. They should be the people of the eldest prince, the second prince and Prince Lin.

The prince divided us into four teams. One team was specifically responsible for dealing with the adulterous couple and the arsonists. The other teams took turns to fight with those groups of people and wouldn't let them go.

"I have seen it all. It's not like we are fighting with anyone, but rather playing house with them, making them run around in circles."

After Anton finished speaking, Mu Yunge asked curiously, "After the fire started, Lin Jinhao should have noticed it immediately. Why is he so embarrassed?"

Anton laughed heartily. "It was all arranged well by the prince. Our people sneaked into Mu Qinxue's meditation room beforehand and hid on the beams. When they were doing that, we lit the incense..."

After Anton explained it this way, everyone suddenly understood.

Anxi nodded continuously after hearing this, "I thought so, the fire had already burned their buttocks, and they escaped naked with only their sheets and quilts wrapped around them.

Now, they have completely lost the face of their ancestors. Let's see if they can still act as arrogantly as before in the capital."

Annan disagreed, "You underestimated them too much. They will be as flamboyant as ever. After all, everything is out in the open now. There's no need to be sneaky anymore.

Especially for Mu Qinxue, this is such a good marriage."

An Bei shook his head slightly, "Things may not be as good as she expected.

After this incident, it's unclear whether the Duke's Mansion will marry her again. Her reputation has been ruined, and even if she is allowed to enter the mansion, she will probably only be a concubine."

Anton looked at Mu Yunge.

"Will the Second House blame you for everything?"
