You're the one who wants to marry a mistress, and I'm marrying someone else, yet you still

When the letter arrived at Mount Xuwu, Master Xufeng was so angry that his beard almost flew off his feet.

"Even if the world is in chaos, it has nothing to do with a girl like her. Why is she getting involved?"

He cursed Xie Yun in his mind again.

It's all his fault, his father, who only cared about protecting the country and focused his mind on the border, which led Xie Wanru astray.

“Master, Junior Sister has been upright and incorruptible since childhood. When the country is in danger, she will definitely rush to the front line and cut off the enemy’s morale. Doesn’t this prove that the people of Void Mountain are all broad-minded and extraordinary? You should think of it in a positive light.”

Xu Ning advised.

He was also worried, but the Xie family was a family of military generals, and they certainly wouldn't stay idle in the face of this situation.

Master Xufeng was still very angry. He said to let that girl stay on the mountain, but she refused. She had just divorced him, and now she wanted to go to a place like the Northern Border. She was really a worry.

"Master, rest assured, my third junior brother and I will go down the mountain immediately to protect our junior sister and bring her back to you safe and sound."

Xu Ning bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

Ever since Xu Jing went down the mountain to help, Master Xu Feng knew that they would inevitably keep in touch with the people down the mountain again. Moreover, now that the country was in danger, he would naturally not shirk the responsibility that belonged to Xu Wu Mountain.

"Okay, you guys go ahead. Be careful on the road. Bring her back for me. I'm going to teach her a lesson. She's a real handful. Last time, with her pathetic skills, she dared to go to the North."

While Master Xufeng was scolding people, he didn't forget to give them some treasures.

For example, he prepared the pills and rations while cursing.

So, the eldest senior brother Xu Ning and the third senior brother Xu Yang set off for the northern border to find Xie Wanru.

At that time, Xie Wanru had been on her way for two days and had traveled a little over half the distance. The road was peaceful and there were no signs of disturbance.

After all, the Northern Barbarians had stationed troops but had not launched a war, and even if a war had broken out, these places would not be affected for a while.

To save time, Xie Wanru would not stop to rest even after dark, as long as the official road was wide, and would only stop when the horses were tired.

She only found a place to rest after the horse stopped to graze and rest, and she hadn't been able to get a good night's sleep.

So much so that when she arrived in Guhuang City, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyelids open.

"Who is coming?"

The soldier on the city wall shouted.

Because it was late and Xie Wanru was dressed in black, the soldiers who were closing in on the city mistook her for an uninvited guest.

Xie Wanru really wanted to say, "Call your city gate captains to recognize me," but she was afraid that her brother's men wouldn't recognize her, so she obediently took out the Xie family's waist token.

The guard took her badge and reported her. Although he didn't know who she was, he knew she wasn't a bad person. The guard brought her some water and steamed buns and told her to rest outside the city for a while.

"Miss, this is a very sensitive time, and we cannot easily let you into the city. Once our superiors have verified the situation, we will let you in immediately. Please understand."

A junior consul personally delivered the items.

People at their level don't usually have much contact with Xie Wanru, so naturally they don't know her.

The city gate captain recognized the waist tag as belonging to the Xie family and immediately sent someone to inform Xie Yanzheng to come over, since a woman with such a waist tag must be no ordinary person.

Xie Yanzheng was discussing matters with his junior officers when he saw the waist tag and knew that Xie Wanru had arrived. He was busy with official business and it was inconvenient for him to go and pick up Xie Wanru, so he could only send the pregnant Wen Ling to do it.

Despite being pregnant, Wen Ling moved with incredible speed, quickly boarding the carriage and arriving at the city gate.

"Wanwan?"

Wen Ling looked at the people at the city gate and called out tentatively.

She had never met Xie Wanru before and did not know Xie Wanru.

Having just finished eating her cornbread, Xie Wanru looked up and saw a woman. She guessed that it must be her sister-in-law who had come to pick her up, and her expression relaxed.

"Well, it's me!"

Xie Wanru was released.

Wenling happily pulled her into the carriage, and as for the horse she had brought, someone took it away and settled it in.

“Your older brother is in a meeting and can’t come to pick you up, so he sent me, the one who has nothing else to do.”

Wen Ling said, her eyes filled with tenderness as she looked at Xie Wanru.

She was a woman of the martial arts world, unaware of her parents' identities, and had never experienced the warmth of a family. But when she met Xie Yanzheng, he made up for her past regrets.

General Xie was stern and rarely smiled, but he would bring her all sorts of little trinkets, telling his two younger brothers to respect her and that she would be the future matriarch of the Xie family.

She didn't yet understand the identity of the mistress of the house, but she knew that this was the Xie family's trust in her. Her two younger brothers were indeed respectful to her, but they always felt a little regretful when they mentioned their younger sister, Xie Wanru.

Their father and three brothers guarded the border, but failed to protect their only sister, causing her to suffer injustice at the hands of the Shen family.

"I was too hasty. If we had gone into the city during the day, we would have had the waist pass and wouldn't have troubled you. Sister-in-law, how many months pregnant are you?"

Xie Wanru looked at Wen Ling's belly; the slightly protruding abdomen was her older brother's child.

In her previous life, when the ancient city of Huangcheng was destroyed, her elder brother lost an arm, as well as his wife and children. From then on, he had no women by his side, so she did not have the chance to meet Wen Ling in her previous life.

Even though she had changed history and saved Wen Ling, she still couldn't completely change everything.

When she handed Xuancheng over to Shen Cong'an, she was taking a gamble. If Shen Cong'an couldn't protect the Crown Prince, then at least she could face everything with her father and brothers in the northern border.

“It’s been three or four months. I wanted to go back to see you as soon as your third brother returned to Xuan, but with this thing, I can’t handle the long journey. Wanwan, I’m sorry.”

Wen Ling genuinely felt sorry for Xie Wanru; it was truly pitiful for a woman to face those things alone.

Xie Wanru laughed heartily, "Sister-in-law, how could you have wronged me? You are a great contributor to our Xie family. My matter is all in the past, and Third Brother also stood up for me. I didn't suffer any loss."

For Xie Wanru in this life, divorce is a painless and insignificant matter.

Wen Ling still held her hand and asked her how she was feeling. It was cold in the northern border, so she had prepared thick clothes and robes when she came, which were now wrapped around Xie Wanru.

Xie Wanru then told her about how the Empress treated her and her short life after the divorce, saying that she was really not pitiful.

However, in the eyes of the world, a divorced woman is the weaker party. Moreover, she was deceived by Shen Nian'an and humiliated by him with other women. To anyone, this was extremely unfair.

But Xie Wanru was only focused on the fact that she was going to be an aunt and that the Xie family was going to have a new member, and she didn't feel wronged at all.

Wen Ling, however, felt that Xie Wanru was a young woman who had come all the way to Guhuang City and had suffered countless hardships along the way. She assumed that Xie Wanru had come to find her father and brothers because she had been wronged, and never considered that she had come to go to the battlefield.
