After the arranged marriage, she farms and survives under the tutelage of the villainous boss.

I can't even imagine how terrible the pastries my maternal grandfather and uncle must have tasted, since they had never cooked before.

Jiang Zhiyun felt a little hesitant to accept such a blessing. Actually, the ordinary cook at home would have been perfectly fine; she felt a little uneasy about accepting such a thoughtful gesture.

Xie Shuheng smiled and said, "I'm also curious about what it looks like. I'll take you down to see."

Then, with a sudden lightness, Jiang Zhiyun was picked up by Xie Shuheng.

"You... when your maternal grandparents see this, they'll laugh at me again."

"Xie Shuheng, put me down. I can walk. It's not like I can't walk."

But this person refused to put her down, holding Jiang Zhiyun firmly in his arms: "What's there to be shy about? Your maternal grandparents were like this when they were young. They even blamed me for not protecting you properly."

“You came back looking like this, but I was completely unharmed. Tell me, as your husband, have I failed to take good care of my wife?”

Jiang Zhiyun said helplessly, "Why are you saying all this?"

"There's no comparison, and don't think that you won't take me to dangerous places in the future. We both know what's good for us."

“This time, I will definitely come to help you. If we both give it our all, there’s nothing we can’t do.”

"How strong are we now?"

Xie Shuheng said confidently, "We will definitely win against Xiao Su. We can even deal with the restless foreign powers around us."

"In the Northeast, after some discussion, the Protector-General decided to send his maternal uncle, Zhang Xian."

"My maternal grandfather said he would just direct from behind."

"This is good!"

Jiang Zhiyun felt a surge of excitement in her heart.

The Northeast Protectorate began to break away from the control of Bianjing City after Zheng Xi's powerful maternal family. Later, it was basically Yin Fei who "enjoyed the shade" here. It's like the predecessors planted the trees and the successors enjoyed the shade.

Yin Fei has completely given up.

Xie Shuheng has gained power now precisely because he has broken away from the soldiers in Bianjing and now possesses the military tally, allowing him to directly control the situation.

"Yunniang, there's a surprise in the water dungeon."

"What?" Jiang Zhiyun raised an eyebrow. "You're really lucky; you've found all sorts of good things."

"It's all about getting close to the lady and hoping to share in her good fortune."

Xie Shuheng continued, "I won't beat around the bush with you. As for the weapons and armor, they've all been buried underground. Besides what's recorded in the books and what's been reported, there are still about two-thirds of them. They're all used by them."

"It is clear that they harbored rebellious intentions, but now they have met their demise."

Jiang Zhiyun spread her hands: "Then aren't we heroes who protect our country?"

"Your Majesty, shouldn't you grant me an imperial title?" she said with a smile.

Xie Shuheng became serious: "Do you want that imperial title?"

In fact, if she were to be with Xie Shuheng, even if she were to achieve great success and enter the imperial court, the emperor would probably deliberately suppress her.

So this imperial title was really quite difficult to obtain.

"No need." Jiang Zhiyun has experienced it all before; it's just a hollow reputation.

It was also a means for the emperor to win over others.

"Between you and me, there is no need. Because at home and in my husband's home, you have both treated me very well. I don't need to use this to prove anything. If I feel dissatisfied, you, Xie Shuheng, will also support me to do things that I am dissatisfied with."

"Yes!"

Xie Shuheng nodded.

Jiang Zhiyun has clear eyes and has always been the one who understands Xie Shuheng the most.

The two seemed to understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.

After going downstairs, my maternal grandparents came to greet me: "Yunniang is awake?"

"Are you alright, Yunniang? We're all here."

"It's nothing, just a superficial injury. Grandpa and Grandma, don't worry." Jiang Zhiyun quickly said, before she could even thank them for their concern, Zhang Duan said directly, "Yunniang, come and have some pastries."

"We made it for you."

Jiang Zhiyun didn't really want to eat it, but it was her elder's good intention, so she had to try a little.

After going to see it, it was exactly as I expected.

Yunniang quickly ate half a piece of the pancake, which was dark and she couldn't tell what it was: "This meat pancake is really delicious!"

But after praising him, my grandfather didn't seem to feel good.

Grandma covered her mouth and laughed: "These are chestnut pastries. Shuheng told me you like these little things, so they prepared them specially. I knew no one could tell they were delicious!"

Grandmother kept laughing.

Xie Shuheng said modestly, "Compared to my maternal grandfather..."

"My cooking skills are among the best in the family."

My grandfather looked disgusted when he said this. Did he think he was so great just because he could cook a little?

Zhang Duan said, "I will work harder in the future."

"Yunniang, I'll come and cook for you next time you visit the Northeast."

"Thank you, maternal grandfather."

Jiang Zhiyun was truly flattered.

Not only was my mother, Zhang, a good person, but her family members were also very good.

"I'm fine, Grandfather and Grandma, you don't need to keep looking after me. I'll be fine after a rest."

"Okay, Yunniang, don't feel pressured. We won't watch you anymore!"

"Sunbathing, sunbathing."

Jiang Zhiyun blushed, as if she were the one being misunderstood for trying something with Xie Shuheng.

"Xie Shuheng, keep your distance from me in front of your elders in the future. Staying so close all the time will lead to misunderstandings."

"It's not exactly a misunderstanding. I've also thought about experiencing what it's like to be outside with my wife."

"Beast!"

"rogue!"

Jiang Zhiyun quickly cursed twice, and Xie Shuheng couldn't stop laughing when he saw his wife's vivid expression.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door.

Jiang Zhiyun followed everyone's gaze and saw a man dressed in plain clothes, with an elegant demeanor, standing at the door, greeting Zhang Duan: "Brother Zhang!"

"Brother Lu!"

The two immediately hugged each other!

"Who is this?" Jiang Zhiyun asked Xie Shuheng with some curiosity.

Xie Shuheng said, "He said his name was Lu Sheng. He brought his disciples with him today, but for some reason, he was the only one there."

"disciple?"

Jiang Zhiyun carefully searched for the person's name; it sounded very familiar.

Lu Sheng... Zhuang Yusheng...

It seems that Zhuang Yusheng's works at that time later became attributed to Lu Sheng.

Jiang Zhiyun always felt that Lu Sheng deliberately used Zhuang Yusheng's work to gain historical recognition, and that he was a plagiarist.

Now that I see he was on good terms with my maternal grandfather, I don't think he was that kind of person.

What she wanted to figure out.

Why did these books end up in Lu Sheng's hands?

However, Yunniang has always carefully protected Zhuang Yusheng's works and kept them in the southwest.

Looking over, seeing that his wife was interested, Xie Shuheng brought her along as well.

Lu Sheng was speaking: "My disciple is playful and is playing with his little pet on the ground."

"I've come first, he'll be here soon. We can find a place."

"Is this your very capable grandson?"
