Divorced woman with child travels through time

Wang Erniu smiled indifferently, "This day was bound to come sooner or later, it's normal. The He family won't let me grow stronger, so there's no need to worry about me!"

As he spoke, he stood up, picked up the booklet, and said, "Quickly arrange things here, and I will have someone send the reward money over."

"Yes!" Wang Xiaoguang said, his eyes filled with tears. "Second brother, take care."

Wang Erniu laughed, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry! I'm lucky, I won't die."

"Back to camp!!! Back to camp!!" The resounding command echoed throughout the city.

On the blood-stained official road in Huian County, countless people spontaneously stood on both sides of the road, holding vegetables, fruits, rice, noodles, meat and eggs, tearfully bidding farewell to the soldiers who came to rescue them.

The soldiers strode forward with their heads held high and chests out, their bodies filled with an unprecedented sense of pride. Their grateful gazes seemed to possess boundless power, telling them that they were heroes, heroes revered by thousands.

Wang Erniu sat dashingly on his horse, wearing his Bright Armor, looking incredibly cool.

He kept smiling and waving goodbye to the people.

The Jiang brothers following behind looked smug. They never thought they would have this day. It was indeed the best to listen to the patriarch. Look, now there's a way out!

"Thank you, General Wang. You've worked hard!"

"Respectfully seeing off General Wang!"

The people kept thanking the soldiers and trying to stuff things into their clothes, but they were all refused. They dared not accept them; last time, someone tried to take two sweet potatoes and got whipped.

"May the general rise to great heights and protect the peace of our Great Song!" The clear, resonant voices that rang out in unison, like the sound of students reciting poems, drew everyone's attention.

Wang Erniu stopped his horse and turned to look. A group of young scholars, dressed in white, stood by the street like newly sprouted bamboo, untouched by wind and rain, full of vigor and ambition. They bowed and said, "Respectfully seeing off General Wang, we wish you a safe return!"

What's this? Did they know he was heading north? Did the news spread so quickly?

Wang Erniu's gaze shifted, and he saw the old scholar beside him. Oh, so he was his student. No wonder!

Wang Erniu smiled slightly and cupped his hands in greeting from his horse. The old scholar stroked his beard with satisfaction and raised his cup in acknowledgment.

On the city wall, watching the red-clad army slowly walk away, Wang Xiaoguang said in a low voice, "If you encounter any difficulties in Annam, you can find someone to contact me, and I will certainly help you."

Caiyun smiled warmly, "Then thank you very much, Brother Xiaoguang." But her gaze unconsciously drifted toward the sea, where several large ships were slowly leaving the shore, and a tall figure on the deck was watching them.

She knew it was him.

"But, Xiaoguang, General Wang didn't promote you. Don't you mind?"

"What's there to mind? This was indeed my oversight, and Lü Xiong's talent is superior to mine. I accept his promotion." Wang Xiaoguang said calmly, but there was a hint of disappointment in his tone.

Before leaving, Wang Erniu had spoken with them all. If he went north, the position of Pacification Commissioner would definitely still need to be filled by their own people. Between Wang Xiaoguang and Lü Xiong, after this incident, Wang Erniu felt that Lü Xiong was more stable. So he talked to Wang Xiaoguang, just worried that he might be unhappy. Lü Xiong would be promoted to Deputy Pacification Commissioner, and Jie Caiyun would replace Lü Xiong and become the first female Commandant of the Song Dynasty.

"Hmm." Caiyun nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly changed the subject, "Has that Lady Lin still not agreed to your marriage proposal?"

“Well.” Wang Xiaoguang’s usually sunny face showed a hint of bitterness. “I don’t know either. Maybe she has her reasons.”

"Report! Commander Wang, Lady Lin has arrived!" The guard looked on with an air of utter delight, his voice barely concealing his surprise.

Alas, there's nothing that can be done. It's common knowledge that his captain is in love with this Lady Lin. Everyone knows that Captain Wang is hopelessly in love with Lady Lin, but Lady Lin always feels that she, as a widow, is not good enough for him and has ruthlessly rejected him many times.

"Ah, really? Please come in quickly!" Is this a case of things turning around after a period of hardship, or a turn of events that brings a return for many?

Wang Xiaoguang suddenly nervously touched his clothes and said to Caiyun, "Quickly check me, is there something wrong with me? Oh no, I should go greet her."

"This..." Caiyun looked at him seriously, then suddenly laughed, "No, very good, very handsome! Go ahead and propose!"

Wang Xiaoguang rolled his eyes at her, then straightened the hem of his clothes and puffed out his chest even more.

Before long, Lin Zhaodi hurriedly entered, carrying Huanhuan and a small bundle on her back.

The moment she saw him, Lin Zhaodi smiled with a slightly complicated expression, as if she had breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a pang of sadness and wanted to cry.

Caiyun, who had been watching from the sidelines, immediately stepped forward upon seeing this and said, "Oh my, Madam Lin is here! It's been so long since you've seen each other. Let's chat! Come, come, Huanhuan, come play with Auntie. Auntie will get you some yummy treats!"

He coaxed and hugged Lin Zhaodi's daughter and took her away.

"Lady Lin, you... why are you here?" Wang Xiaoguang stammered. Wasn't she always rejecting him? She must be worried about him to come so quickly, Wang Xiaoguang thought to himself with a hint of smug satisfaction.

Lin Zhaodi took a breath to calm herself down, and looked at his ever-concerned eyes as she replied, "I've come to see you."

She smiled shyly and said, "This battle was so sudden, are you alright?"

"I don't have any, don't worry." Wang Xiaoguang was so happy he was dizzy, and could only chuckle foolishly.

Seeing him like this, Lin Zhaodi smiled, her eyes filled with affection as she lowered her head somewhat shyly.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoguang understood everything. He mustered his courage, walked over, his face flushed, and took her hand in a trembling voice. He said solemnly, "I love you, my lady. Would you be willing to accept my marriage proposal?"

This time, Lin Zhaodi neither dodged nor avoided him. Her face flushed, she nodded and let his burning hands hold hers tightly. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was about to burst out of her chest.

"Hahahaha!" Wang Xiaoguang couldn't help but burst into laughter. There are gains and losses, but these gains and losses were worthwhile. He finally won the heart of his beauty.

Caiyun listened to the cheerful laughter and children playing inside the courtyard, lost in thought. She wasn't getting any younger; perhaps getting married and finding someone she cared about wouldn't be bad.

Wang Erniu traveled at breakneck speed, but before he even reached Quanzhou City, He Tianxia in the capital was furious as he looked at the secret letter in his hand. He clenched his fists and, with a restrained yet explosive urge, slammed them against the wall.

Suddenly, the wall dented slightly.

"Thirty thousand people!! Thirty thousand~~" he muttered to himself, "These useless trash, are they really that incompetent? Aren't they so good at smashing and robbing people? But they can't handle him??"

"What a waste of my money..." He Tianxia tossed the note into the fishpond, and a large fish swam over and swallowed it whole. "But luckily I had a backup plan, Wang Erniu! I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"
