By the time Yan Wanwan and Qin Yu returned to the General's Mansion, it was already late at night. The moment they entered the gate, they were caught red-handed by Xiao Tao, who was waiting nearby.

"Miss! Uncle!"

Yan Wanwan was so frightened that her body trembled slightly. Qin Yu quickly reached out to steady her, with a satisfied and complacent smile on his lips, thinking that the title of "son-in-law" sounded quite pleasant.

Yan Wanwan looked displeased and asked, "What are you doing sneaking around here?"

Xiao Tao asked like a housekeeper, "Miss, son-in-law, have you forgotten what day it is today? On your wedding day, why are you running out instead of going to the bridal chamber?"

Yan Wanwan frowned, rubbed her brows, and felt a headache coming on. This familiar tone and accent was exactly like the old woman in the world.

She didn't notice at all that when Qin Yu heard the words "bridal chamber", a golden light suddenly appeared in his eyes, like a shooting star in the dark night.

Yan Wanwan coughed helplessly and said, "Your son-in-law and I just went out to get some fresh air. There are so many people in the general's mansion, and it's a bit boring."

Xiao Tao, however, refused to give in. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Now that we're back, let's get down to business!"

Qin Yu subconsciously straightened his back upon hearing this. What was this serious matter...? It made one's imagination run wild.

Yan Wanwan glanced at the silent man beside her and urged him a little embarrassedly, "Xiao Tao, your son-in-law and I will take care of this matter. You should go and rest first!"

Xiao Tao refused without hesitation, "No, how can we do this without someone to wait on us outside?"

After saying that, she dragged Ling Ying, who was standing there as silent as a wooden stake, to her front. "I don't know anyone else in the mansion, so I'll just be with this guy to keep watch for the young lady and the son-in-law. If you need anything, just tell us."

Yan Wanwan: “…”

She rolled her eyes to the sky, secretly complaining in her heart, "Why don't you listen to what you say? What kind of lewd words are you saying? Isn't it said that the ancients were subtle and euphemistic? How can you be more open than me, a person in the end times?"

Qin Yu suddenly felt his cheeks burning hot, but fortunately it was dark and no one noticed.

Ling Ying didn't know how to blink his innocent eyes. He could swear to heaven now that this was not his intention at all, he was forced to do it.

"Okay, your uncle and I have been busy all day and are tired. Your uncle wants some quiet time, so you and I can sleep in the guest room."

Yan Wanwan couldn't bear it any longer and pulled Xiaotao forward, fearing that she would say something shocking again.

However, she did not notice the fleeting disappointment in Qin Yu's eyes.

"No, you stay in the new room, and I'll go to the side room. It's getting late, you should go to bed early."

After saying that, he led Ling Ying away slowly.

His back gradually moved away from Yan Wanwan's sight. For some reason, it revealed an indescribable loneliness and solitude, as if shrouded in a faint sadness.

When Xiaotao saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel pity in her heart and cast a disapproving look at her young lady, as if blaming her for her ruthlessness.

"Miss, how could you do this? How embarrassed are you to make your uncle feel?"

Yan Wanwan shuddered, and immediately retracted her misconception. She laughed and said, "He's fine, and I need to get to know him first. You don't want me to ruin my life, do you?"

Xiao Tao was filled with hesitation. She thought to herself, "That being said, isn't it common for couples to only begin to understand each other after marriage? It's already a great blessing for the young lady to be able to interact with her husband before her wedding."

Yan Wanwan wiped her face gently, having anticipated Xiaotao's reaction. She thought to herself that in modern times, relationships would last for years, and marriages were even more cautious. In comparison, this kind of blind marriage was hasty and drastic.

The two entered the bridal chamber, and Xiaotao rested outside.

After Xiao Tao fell asleep, Yan Wanwan used plants as a guide to summon them. Opening her red lips, she instructed, "Tonight, we must make the Marquis of Changxin, the Second Prince, the Grand Tutor's Mansion, and the Emperor's chambers lively. We don't need to take their lives, but we must make them suffer a fate worse than death."

After she finished speaking, she lay down on the couch contentedly and fell asleep peacefully.

Since these people wanted to make her uneasy, she would not let them have an easy time.

The next day, Xiao Tao got up early and called softly, "Miss, wake up!"

Yan Wanwan muttered sleepily, "There are no elders in the general's mansion, so there's no need to offer tea."

This made her quite satisfied, as she didn't want to waste her time dealing with complicated interpersonal relationships.

Qin Yu is alone and is seen as an orphan by others, but to her, she is a popular person.

This man has status and position, and both his parents are deceased. In this end times, he is simply the perfect son-in-law!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Tao persisted: "Miss, you want to go to the palace to express your gratitude."

Yan Wanwan pulled the quilt over her head and lied in bed, saying, "I'm not going."

Xiao Tao had no choice but to persuade her kindly: "Miss, this is a marriage granted by the Emperor, you have no choice but to go."

As he was speaking, Qin Yu's voice rang out from outside the door: "Is Madam awake?"

Xiao Tao quickly and swiftly dragged Yan Wanwan up from the bed, "Miss, look, your son-in-law is here, please get up quickly!"

Yan Wanwan stared at the ceiling with empty eyes and replied with a bitter face, "I'm already up."

She breathed a sigh of relief, secretly regretting that she should have issued a harsh order last night to kill that bastard emperor directly, so as to avoid getting up early today to go to the palace and disturbing her good sleep.

She let Xiaotao toss her around like a puppet, and then got on the carriage in a daze.

When the carriage reached the palace gate, Yan Wanwan was asked to get off and walk inside. She immediately became furious and asked angrily, "Why do we have to walk in?"

He had already left his comfortable bed, but still had to walk. This dog emperor was too arrogant!

The young eunuch who led the way had his eyes wide open. How dare the general's wife say anything out loud!

Seeing this, Qin Yu was both angry and amused, so he could only explain: "This is the palace rule. If you really can't walk, I will carry you."

Yan Wanwan suppressed her impatience and waved her hand, saying, "You have just recovered and are not suitable for lifting heavy objects. Hurry up and go back early."

Qin Yu's eyes were filled with doting, and he wasn't angry at all because of her disrespectful words.

The young eunuch looked at the two of them thoughtfully. He didn't expect that General Qin doted on his wife so much. In an instant, his attitude towards Yan Wanwan became even more respectful.

They were led into the main hall, where the emperor had been waiting for a long time.

The emperor first praised Qin Yu, and was delighted that his leg injury had healed and he could fight on the battlefield again.

However, after a series of high-sounding speeches, he did not mention the decentralization of power at all. He just rewarded him with many supplements and told him to stay at home and recuperate.

In comparison, the emperor's attitude towards Yan Wanwan was not so kind.

His words were full of criticism and testing of her, and it was obvious that he was nervous and worried about Qin Yu's recovery from leg injury.

Yan Wanwan was disdainful in her heart, but pretended to be frightened and talked about other things.

When the emperor saw this situation, although he was extremely angry, he could not lose his temper. After all, losing his temper would be unbecoming of an emperor.

But after a few words, the emperor returned to the topic: "Xiao Yan! Who did you rent your farm to? Properly resettling the remaining soldiers is a good deed that benefits both the country and the people. I also want to meet this righteous man."
