My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

"Shut up!" Xie Liang scolded, displeased with Xiao An's attitude towards Ji Yunshuang, "Get out of here!"

Xiao An felt a little wronged. What kind of person was his master? So many princesses and noble ladies wanted to be his master's disciple, but his master rejected them all.

Now that the master has offered to take this young lady as his disciple, instead of kneeling down to express her gratitude, she keeps asking all sorts of questions. He really feels sorry for his master!

But seeing her husband's stern face, Xiao An knew he was angry, so she didn't dare to cause any trouble and slunk out of the room.

Xie Liang said, "My men are ignorant and have made you laugh, young lady."

"You're too kind, sir!" Ji Yunshuang said with a smile. "He's not wrong. It's an honor for a pillar of the nation like you to want to take me as your disciple."

Xie Liang stroked his beard with satisfaction as he looked at Ji Yunshuang's composed demeanor.

She truly deserves the person he chose.

Although she said it was an honor for her to be accepted as his disciple, she did not change her attitude or show any servility after hearing Xiao An list a long list of titles.

He said, "Well? Would you like to become my disciple?"

Ji Yunshuang asked, "If I become your disciple, can I lead troops into battle?"

Xie Liang was taken aback by Ji Yunshuang's question. He paused, looking at her with surprise, and asked, "You want to go to war?"

Ji Yunshuang nodded, and Xie Liang asked again, "Why?"

Ji Yunshuang made no attempt to hide her ambition, casually replying, "Why else? Of course, it's to achieve great deeds and rise to the highest ranks of officialdom!"

"You want to achieve great things and become a high-ranking official?" Xie Liang was not only surprised by her frankness, but also by her ambition.

"Why not? Who wouldn't want to stand on high ground? Of course I want to stand on high ground and see the world!"

Ji Yunshuang looked at his surprised face and said, "You don't discriminate against women and think that we women shouldn't have such thoughts, do you?"

Xie Liang smiled and shook his head, saying, "It's not that I think women shouldn't have such thoughts, but very few women have thoughts like yours. I wasn't wrong about you; you are indeed different from ordinary women."

Ji Yunshuang ignored his long string of nonsense and looked at her, saying, "Is that alright?"

“In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was indeed no precedent for women going to the battlefield; it was certainly impossible for ordinary women to do so. However…”

Xie Liang then changed the subject, saying, "If you become my disciple and I assign you to a mission in the army, there will definitely be no problem."

Ji Yunshuang readily bowed to him, then said with a touch of arrogance, "Then I'll acknowledge you as my master today!"

Xie Liang was both amused and exasperated!

This doesn't seem like he chose her as his disciple; it's more like she passed his test, and he finally passed it, so he can be her teacher.

However, he found this young disciple increasingly interesting. He took off the jade pendant he always carried and handed it to Ji Yunshuang, saying, "A small gift to mark our meeting!"

Ji Yunshuang accepted the jade pendant from Xie Liang and thanked him.

She felt that Liang Sheng was right about one thing: she was very lucky! Just when she was about to doze off, someone handed her a pillow.

Her headache had vanished, and she asked with great enthusiasm, "Master, when can I go to the battlefield with you?"

Xie Liang said, "I need to see what you're capable of first!"

Ji Yunshuang immediately said, "Then Master, let's find a suitable place to spar."

After saying that, she looked at Xie Liang with some suspicion. Could this old man with a white beard withstand her punches?

"Going to the battlefield isn't just about hand-to-hand combat skills. Being good at hand-to-hand combat might make you a fierce general at best!"

Xie Liang tapped his head with his index finger and said, "You need to be good at this to become a commander of an army."

As he spoke, he took out a Go set and said, "Come on, play a game with your teacher first."

Ji Yunshuang looked at the Go board on the table and was a little puzzled as to why these ancient people liked Go so much!

She said, "I can't."

Xie Liang laughed and said, "That's perfect, I'll teach you! I'll start by teaching you the strategies for fighting battles."

Seeing that he was serious and genuinely intended to use Go to teach her how to fight, Ji Yunshuang had no choice but to put aside her impatience and sit down to learn from him earnestly.

The two were peacefully playing Go, while the Wei family and the Dong family were in an uproar.

Things happened so fast today that it wasn't until Madam Dong and Madam Dong's second wife were sentenced that the Wei and Dong families came to their senses.

At this point, it's too late for either family to try and establish connections.

The Dong family cursed Dong as a jinx who had ruined their family and wanted to sever ties with her.

Not only that, other branches of the Dong family also said that the second branch of the Dong family colluded with the Dong family and disgraced the Dong family, and that they wanted to separate the second branch.

The second master of the Dong family blamed the second mistress of the Dong family, saying that she had done something foolish and that she had ruined the whole family. He gave her a letter of divorce and wanted to send her back to her parents' home.

Mrs. Dong naturally refused, saying that everything she did was for the children, and that he not only failed to understand her good intentions but also blamed her.

The couple were arguing fiercely, and on the Wei family side, after Dong was arrested and imprisoned, Wei Yuqi and his sister also started blaming each other.

Wei Yuru blamed Wei Yuqi, saying, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't caused trouble outside and complained to your mother every day, your mother wouldn't have gone to cause trouble for that Ji family just to get revenge for you!"

What am I going to do now? My mother is in trouble. I have such a disgraceful mother. Who will want to associate with me in the future? How can I ever find a husband again?

Wei Yuqi's injuries haven't fully healed, and he can only barely get out of bed with the help of crutches. These days, he's practically wanted to tear Wei Shen and Ji Yunshuang apart.

Upon hearing that his mother had been arrested, he not only showed no concern for her fate, but instead complained, "Does she even have a brain? What's the point of drugging them and making them look bad? Those two bitches deserve to be torn to pieces!"

What's the use of blaming me now? I'm injured and physically unable to see what Mother did. Couldn't you have reminded her instead?

"You're a cripple, who can you cut into a thousand pieces? Don't you understand our current situation?"

In court, Mother confessed that she had killed Wei Shen's mother. She admitted that over the years, she had deliberately sown discord between him and Father, making Father despise him… What will Father do when he finds out? It's all your fault, you've ruined me.”

Wei Yuru became more and more angry as she spoke, "Not only do we have no good reputation outside, but we are also disliked by our father because of her."

What's wrong with her today? Why did she have to tell everyone what she did before? She's acting like a madwoman. Can she even listen to me?

Wei Yuqi also thought that Madam Dong was completely insane, but he couldn't stand his sister calling him a cripple even more than his mother being insane.

He cursed Wei Yurou viciously, saying that with her wicked appearance, even if nothing had happened to her family, she would never have been able to get married.
