There is also spring for passers-by

Several people looked at Wen Wan, who was sick and unconscious, and cried out of heartache.

Although the virtuous king did not disclose what he had done, the old officials of the Censorate still knew about it and stood up to impeach the Cui family for being unkind and unjust and having lost their credibility.

Prime Minister Xie wanted to avenge his eldest granddaughter, so he submitted a memorial of impeachment, scolding the Cui family harshly. In short, they accepted the silver and fruits and grains sent by the Han family every year, but let the orphan of the famous general and minister, the young lady of the Han family, eat the leftovers of the servants.

The Liu family also followed suit in impeachment, and the final result was that Ningyuan Hou was demoted two levels, and the girl from the Cui family was deprived of the qualification to enter the palace for selection.

Ning Yuanhou was so angry that he almost fainted.

The Queen Mother and the new emperor took into consideration the Han family's military achievements and made an exception to confer the title of Princess Beining on Han Qingwan.

The Cui family thought a spy had let the man go, or that someone had betrayed the family and tipped off a former Han official to come and rescue him. But after much investigation, they couldn't find any evidence. They punished a few servants guarding the woodshed, and the matter was dropped.

Ningyuan Hou, the Crown Prince, and Mr. Cui and his son summoned Cui Yan to discuss important matters.

The prince said, "Didn't you say that Han Qingwan is the most infatuated with you and would do whatever you ask her to do? But this time she would rather die than give in. Let's see how big a mess this will cause."

With his reputation ruined, Ningyuan Hou was demoted two levels, and the girl from the Cui family lost the qualification to enter the palace for selection.

Cui Zhen burst into tears in the embroidery pavilion and cursed Han Qingwan thousands of times. She felt that it was Han Qingwan, the unlucky star, who had harmed her and the entire Han family, and was now trying to harm her again.

Cui Yan raised his beautiful peach blossom eyes and said, "Father, first give Han Qingwan the cold shoulder. She can only be a wife of my Cui family in this life. Since she doesn't want to be my wife, let her be my concubine."

"What nonsense are you talking about? She has now been granted the title of Princess Beining by the Emperor. Although she has no relatives, many of the veterans, old officials, and old friends of the Zhenbei Army remember the kindness of her father and grandfather and have given her some respect."

As soon as this incident broke, many civil officials jumped to the Han family's defense, and the military officers even cursed them with all sorts of harsh words. Among the military officers and generals in the court, who among the high-ranking officials didn't have a relationship with the Han family? Among the military officers in the court, 70% of them had received favors from the Han family.

Now that the news of their poor treatment of Han Qingwan has spread, everyone has come out to step on her.

Wen Wan: It’s not dark yet, but you can go take a shower and go to bed.

The original owner had long thought of giving up Cui Yan. She had listened to Nanny Lian, Maizi and others talk about life in the border town since she was a child, and she longed for the Beiguan City area. She wanted to see the border town where her parents met and fell in love, and the place where generations of the Han family had guarded with their lives.

Wen Wan is actively cooperating with Gongsun Dan to treat her illness and take medicine.

When she had free time, she followed Wu Qi and others to learn boxing, kicking, archery, spear, broadsword and sword. She was best at sword and her swordsmanship was superb. She had a great talent for martial arts. In just over half a month, she had learned the essence of Wu Qi, Shi Bo and others' martial arts.

Gongsun Dan looked at the girl and shook his head repeatedly.

Nanny Lian said, "Sir, please don't look down on me. As long as the young lady is happy, why should she be constrained? The general and his wife passed away long ago. As long as she can remember, she has been bound by the Cui family and has never had true happiness or freedom. This old servant just hopes that she can be safe and sound.

Now that I think about it, when she was little, she kept pestering me with stories about old generals, great generals, and minor generals, and I should have stopped talking about them. Hearing them so often, she actually developed a desire to carry on her father and grandfather's legacy, and now I can't stop that desire."

Gongsun Dan smiled as he watched Wen Wan holding a spear and defeating Shi Bo again, "The Han family army has a new commander."

"There have been female generals in the army, but there has never been a female commander."

"If it wasn't possible before, why can't it be possible now? Young lady has extraordinary talent. I will teach her military tactics and strategies. I believe that in no time, she will be a qualified commander."

The youngest, Xingzi, was standing far away, holding a letter.

Maizi looked disgusted and said, "Sister Meizi just said last time that you are not allowed to give the Cui family's letters to the young lady anymore."

Douzi said, "Could it be that the Cui family is using cakes and cookies to trick you into running errands and delivering messages again?"

Xingzi hurriedly said, "I didn't. This time I didn't take the food, let alone eat a single bite. It's just that the boy who delivered the letter, when Miss Cui framed us, his parents helped me. I saw that it was not easy for him, so I agreed to help deliver the letter."

Wen Wan had been eating and sleeping well recently, and with retired uncles and aunts practicing with her, her spirits had improved, and even her temperament had become more lively and cheerful. Although everyone called her "Miss," they got along like family, living a carefree life.

The food that was previously sent to the Cui family has been cut off. Now it is all transported to the General's Mansion. There are less than a hundred people in the entire General's Mansion, and the food they eat is good and nutritious.

After Wen Wan finished her martial arts training, Mei Zi poured her a cup of boiled water. Because she was taking medicine and didn't like tea, she drank it all in one gulp.

Xingzi ran over: "Miss, the letter written by Master Yan..."

Wen Wan said, "Just throw it into the brazier and burn it. It's a cliché. There's no real meaning in writing it over and over again. Give me some pen and ink. He can write, and I can write too. I'll write openly. What do you think? Should I write a big 'stupid' or a poem for him?"

Maizi's face lit up with joy. "Miss, can you write poetry?"

"Your daughter is already better-looking than the Cui sisters. If you act like you can study better than them, you'll be setting yourself up as a target and making them jealous. Your previous stupidity was all fake."

Douzi prepared pen and ink.

Wen Wan thought for a while and wrote a short poem: "A needle is forged a thousand times, and it is twisted and turned on the cloth. Its eyes are on its buttocks, and it only recognizes the clothes and not the people."

She wrote a poem and copied another one. "Take it and stick it on the big tree outside the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion so everyone can see it. And by the way, tell Cui Yan that I've never had any regard for him. He can't even carry a sword, and his calligraphy isn't even as good as mine. How can he be worthy of my esteem? I'll give him one word: stupid!"

She wrote a big "stupid" and handed it to Xingzi. "Here, I'm giving it to Cui Yan. Tell him not to thank me too much. I hope she gets treatment for her mental illness. Overthinking is also a disease!"

Mei Zi smiled, worthy of being the young lady she and Nanny Lian raised together.

"Miss, won't it be too embarrassing for you to make such a fuss?"

"I want a slap in the face. That kid is so arrogant. Let her see my calligraphy and put him to shame."

Wen Wan posted her own poem on the tree trunk outside the gate of Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion, which attracted many people to watch. However, her calligraphy was indeed very elegant, and everyone who saw it praised it. Because the calligraphy attracted many literati, after inquiring, they found out that it was written by Princess Beining to scold Cui Yan.

Then, the poem she wrote spread throughout the capital.

By the time Cui Yan found out, he had become the laughing stock of the entire capital.
