General's Mansion.

"This way, young lady."

Granny Liu received Lu Jingyan's message several days ago, knowing how much her general valued Miss Qiuli, so she waited at the door early.

Liang Qiuli nodded slightly and smiled gently at Granny Liu. Before she even reached the backyard, she saw someone walking quickly towards her from the corner of her eye.

Her smile paused slightly, but then returned to normal.

"Uncle... Granny Liu, who is this?"

Zhao Yaoyao received the news after Lu Jingyan's carriage entered the capital and rushed over from home. However, she did not expect to see her uncle, but instead saw a woman with an extremely outstanding appearance.

Just as Granny Liu was about to respectfully invite the person into the backyard of the General's Mansion, she had a bad feeling.

Liang Qiuli glanced at Zhao Yaoyao with a calm and even slightly disdainful look, then ignored her and prepared to walk towards the General's Mansion through the back gate.

"Who are you? How dare you be so rude! This is my uncle's house. How can a woman like you come and go as you please!"

When Zhao Yaoyao saw that Liang Qiuli was ignoring her, she immediately jumped up in anger. No one in the entire capital dared to look down on her like that.

Granny Liu was just thinking about how to win back the favor of this young lady, but before she knew it, the young lady had started throwing a tantrum again.

He could only quickly step forward and stand between the two of them, saying...

“Miss, this is the General’s chosen future wife of the General’s Mansion, who is also your future aunt. Your shouting here is really unbecoming.”

When Granny Liu thought of Lu Jingyan's repeated instructions in his letter not to let this future general's wife suffer any grievances, her tone became somewhat stern.

Moreover, she really couldn't stand this arrogant and domineering cousin who would come to her mansion every few days to ask for things.

This is a good opportunity to teach her a lesson. I doubt that even if the general finds out, he won't blame her.

"You are already married. Without a visiting card from the General's Mansion, how can you casually step into the backyard of the General's Mansion?"

Liang Qiuli felt a sense of satisfaction watching Zhao Yaoyao's face grow increasingly pale after being berated by Granny Liu, realizing she wouldn't need to intervene too much this time.

but……

"Ha, you lowly servant girl, you've been bribed by that slut behind you, haven't you? Wait until your uncle comes back and I'll make you pay!"

Looking at Liang Qiuli's stunningly beautiful face, Zhao Yaoyao was filled with jealousy. Even though she hadn't said anything, she felt that it was all Liang Qiuli's fault.

“Miss, don’t mind her. If the general blames you, this old servant will take the blame. You must be tired from your journey. The general has instructed that you be well taken care of. Let this old servant take you into the mansion to rest.”

When Granny Liu turned around, she saw a hint of weariness in Liang Qiuli's eyes. Ignoring Zhao Yaoyao, she spoke directly to Liang Qiuli.

He then led his men to settle in the backyard of the general's mansion.

Zhao Yaoyao wanted to chase after them, but was stopped by someone, which made her stomp her feet in anger.

"Hmph, just wait for me."

After saying that, she turned and walked towards the gate of the General's Mansion, intending to wait there for her uncle to return. She hoped that she could complain to her uncle before that person came, and that her uncle would stand up for him later.

As for Lu Jingyan, he stayed in the palace for nearly an hour before slowly leaving the palace and getting into a carriage to return to the general's mansion.

Lu Jingyan felt a little tired and raised his hand to rub his temples, but then he remembered that His Majesty had granted his request, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.

On their journey from Yangzhou to the capital, Qiu Li had grown increasingly close to him, and now she was just waiting for the right opportunity.

He then confessed his feelings to Qiu Li again, but this time it wasn't...

"Uncle, Uncle, you're back! You must stand up for Yao Yao!"

Lu Jingyan was still immersed in joy when he was suddenly interrupted by a hurried voice that sounded like he was crying.
