Shocking! In this matriarchal society, every man wants to marry me!

It was already autumn, and although it wasn't cold, the chilly wind still made Zhongtian's heart sink. She had to save Xia Jin'an, and she only had one night to do so.

Using her own child as bait, Yu Yijin tightly gripped Xia Jin'an's neck, leaving the anxious Zhong Tian helpless.

But there is still another way.

According to the laws of Zhaohua Kingdom, Xia Jin'an can survive if the victim provides a letter of forgiveness.

But how could she possibly find the injured Mu Ning and General Yue, who harbored deep hatred for Xia Jin'an?

She returned to the Zhong residence absentmindedly and saw Xia Muning, who was looking at Zhong Ping, who was fast asleep. The child was sleeping soundly, without any worries or sorrows.

When Xia Muning saw Zhong Tian come in, she gestured for the wet nurse to take the child away.

"Don't rush, let me hold the baby."

With one arm around the child, Zhong Tian gently pinched the child's chubby cheek with the other. The little cutie Zhong Ping, who was sleeping soundly, was disturbed by his mother in his sleep, and he pouted as if he was about to cry for Zhong Tian to see.

Unable to soothe the child, Zhongtian had no choice but to hurriedly return the child to the wet nurse.

"Take the young lady to bed," Xia Muning instructed.

The wet nurse left with the child, and Xia Muning reached out her hand: "My lady, I want to hold her too."

Zhongtian gently held Xia Muning in her arms. The baby's milky scent instantly dispelled the chill that had gripped Zhongtian, but she remained filled with sorrow and unable to find joy.

Xia Muning gently pressed Zhongtian's brow with her finger: "My lady, don't frown. Are you still worried about Xia Jin'an? What can I do to ease the worry between your brows?"

Zhong Tian's eyes stung a little. She knew she had wronged Xia Muning, but she still took out the letter of understanding from her bosom.

"Mu Ning, could you sign a letter of understanding? If you... if you don't want to sign, I won't force you!"

Xia Muning stared at the thin paper for a long time, until Zhongtian felt that the paper in his hand was heavier than a thousand pounds and wanted to take it back, at which point Xia Muning took the paper.

"My lady, I can never be a tolerant and magnanimous husband. I can sign, but you have to grant me one request?"

"any request?"

"If you promise not to marry Xia Jin'an, I will sign this letter of understanding."

Zhong Tian remained silent for a long time. She looked into Xia Muning's eyes. He wasn't joking; he was serious.

Zhongtian nodded in agreement. Sometimes, in the face of life, personal love is truly worthless.

Xia Muning picked up the brush and wrote her name.

Yu Yijin looked at the letter of understanding signed by Xia Muning with a cold smile. Yu Yijin was not surprised at all that Zhong Tian was able to get Xia Muning's letter of understanding. Xia Muning was just like him, a foolish person who was infatuated.

But why did his wife also sign the letter of understanding?

Zhongtian looked at Yu Yijin and sneered, "Why do you think you're able to win General Yue's favor?"

Yu Yijin froze, as if struck by lightning.

Yu Yijin's favor with the emperor was due not only to his youth and good looks, but also, and most importantly, to his perfectly chosen daughter. This daughter would dispel the rumors that General Yue was infertile and bring the Yue family a girl who could inherit the family business.

Now that Yu Yijin has made the child mute, General Le will feel heartbroken, but not too sad. She has only raised this child for less than two years, so how deep can their feelings be?

To gain General Yue's forgiveness, it's simple: just give her another child!

Where did we get this child?

Zhongtian found Brother Zhou!

Zhou Xiaodi's child was incredibly lucky; despite being kicked by Zhou Qiao, the miscarriage didn't occur, and the child survived.

Zhou Xiaodi originally wanted to abort the child, but after burning incense and praying at the temple every day, he was moved by the Buddha and developed some compassion.

Buddhists don't commit killing, so be it, let's just give the baby to farmers to adopt.

Zhongtian found Zhou Xiaodi in the temple. Zhou Xiaodi was wearing a plain monk's robe, and her belly was already very big. Perhaps it was because of the pregnancy, or perhaps it was because of her peaceful mood, but she was much rounder than when he first met her. Her eyes were as calm as water when she looked at Zhongtian.

"Almsgiver Zhong."

Nakata cut straight to the point: "I have something to discuss with you."

Zhongtian explained the matter to Zhou Xiaodi in detail, outlining the advantages and disadvantages.

"If this child is a girl, she will receive the best education in the General's Mansion. She will have what everyone dreams of. All that we cannot obtain will be within her reach. You will also enter the General's Mansion, get rid of all your past nightmares, and have a different life!"

Zhou Xiaodi listened quietly, his expression unmoved, but suddenly asked, "Is Zhou Qiao dead?"

Zhongtian didn't know why Zhou Xiaodi suddenly brought this up, but he still answered, "She's dead. She was beheaded yesterday at the Meridian Gate. She was involved in all the murder cases, and there's no room for maneuver."

“Great!” Zhou Xiaodi showed his first smile to Zhongtian: “I agree, but I have one request.”

"Tell me what your requirements are. I'll do my best to fulfill them."

Zhou Xiaodi's request was simple: after the child was born, he would sever all ties with the child.

No matter how scum the birth mother is, the child is innocent. The child should not have such a terrible mother and father, and Zhou Xiaodi does not need a child who can constantly remind him of the past in his future life.

The bond between a child and his father is destined to be unlike that of ordinary fathers and sons; having no further contact is the best outcome.

Zhongtian agreed and immediately took Zhou Xiaodi to the training ground to find General Yue.

After the soldier informed him, Nakata was taken to the training ground.

A martial arts competition was underway on the training ground, with cheers and the sounds of punches filling the air. The torchlight illuminated the entire night as if it were daytime. Little Zhou jumped in fright, and Zhong Tian gave him a reassuring look.

When General Yue heard that Zhongtian wanted her to write a letter of forgiveness for Xia Jin'an, he became furious and ordered his soldiers to go forward and beat Zhongtian out.

"General Yue, I have something to say."

"If you don't want to hear it, get out!"

"It will only take fifteen minutes!"

General Yue glanced at Zhong Tian and smiled, "If you can defeat these 20 people, I will give you a quarter of an hour."

Looking at the 20 eager soldiers, Zhongtian noticed that unlike the hooligans he had dealt with in the past, these soldiers were disciplined, resourceful, and experienced warriors.

"Do you dare?" General Yue asked.

"dare!"

General Yue looked at Zhong Tian with admiration: "It's good that you have the courage. As long as you can get up within a quarter of an hour, I'll listen to what nonsense you're spouting."

General Yue had spent a long time in the military camp, and his speech had become somewhat coarse.

"it is good."

Nakata stretched his limbs and looked at the 20 people: "Let's all come at once."

"She's pretty arrogant, sisters, let's get her!"

Even lions and tigers fight rabbits with all their might, let alone a group of people like this. Zhongtian calmed himself down and went to meet them.

General Yue, who had been watching casually, slowly straightened up and finally stared at Zhong Tian with increasingly sharp eyes.

Fifteen minutes later, the 20 soldiers were lying on the ground, unable to fight back.

But Nakata was still standing there, though she was a little unsteady and there was a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth. She was the only one standing there.

Zhongtian looked at General Yue and asked, "General Yue, can we talk now?"
