Qin Qing looked at Wang Yan, who had suddenly appeared, with a complicated expression...

The entire venue fell silent!

Wang Yan, his face ashen, strode with powerful, forceful steps toward the two people standing in the center of the hall…

At the same time, he uttered a cold command!

"roll!"

Upon hearing the order, the guards immediately rose and took their leave! This demonstrates the immense authority and prestige of Wang Yan in the Tianlong Kingdom.

Wang Yan stood a meter away from Qin Qing, his gaze fixed intently on her.

Qin Qing didn't say anything, just stared at him, and then glared at him. If it weren't for him, how could she be targeted by so many women!

After examining her closely and confirming that she was unharmed, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief…

This scene infuriated the eldest princess on stage, who had been watching Wang Yan closely. Her jealousy nearly overwhelmed her reason.

Even though there was no clear affection or concern in Wang Yan's eyes, she still noticed that focused look! It was as if his eyes could only see the old woman in front of him, and no one else!

But that focused gaze was something she had been begging for for years and still couldn't get!

Then, Wang Yan continued walking, passing right past Qin Qing and stopping in front of Old Mrs. Wang…

Although he didn't say a single word to Qin Qing, everyone noticed the inexplicable feeling of care he had for her! Otherwise, he wouldn't have stood motionless in front of Qin Qing for so long!

"Mother...are you alright?"

After he finished asking the question, Madam Wang was furious and smacked Wang Yan with a stick!

"You brat! It's all because of you that I've suffered so much injustice, and you're asking me? If it weren't for Qin Shi watching over and protecting me, you might be seeing your mother's corpse right now!"

What a load of nonsense! Everyone present couldn't help but roll their eyes! It was clearly someone trying to arrest Qin Shi, and it wasn't Old Madam Wang who blocked it herself, but now it's turned into her almost being arrested, and Qin Qing protecting her!

Qin Qing blinked and replied without hesitation.

"Madam, you're mistaken. You were the one who rushed up to save me."

After saying that, she acted as if she hadn't done anything to deserve the credit, leaving everyone speechless. It was the first time they had ever seen someone deliberately give her credit, and she still brought it up as if she couldn't accept it!

Madam Wang also looked embarrassed, glancing at Wang Yan and directly shirking responsibility!

"You brat, it's all your fault! If you hadn't arrived so late, your old lady wouldn't have been so frightened!"

Wang Yan accepted his mother's unreasonable tantrums with a blank expression, his serious eyes revealing no hint of rebuttal.

After a long while!

"You're absolutely right!"

When Madam Wang saw that he had no reaction at all, she immediately lost her temper and complained with a mixture of speechlessness and disgust.

"You brat, you've always been like this since you were a kid. No matter how much I scold you, you won't even give me a fart. I'll be driven crazy by you one of these days!"

Everyone who heard this couldn't help but laugh. They never expected that the way the mother and son from the General's Mansion got along was so peculiar!

Qin Qing couldn't help but chuckle as she watched...

Seeing them chatting happily like a family, the eldest princess became even more annoyed and angrily spoke up.

"General Wang! Your mother publicly protected this woman who spoke disrespectfully to me and sowed discord between the emperor and his ministers. Is it too much for me to give her a small punishment?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's serious gaze immediately turned to the eldest princess. Upon meeting her eyes, the princess blushed instantly, becoming extremely nervous! Her eyes began to dart around nervously.

"I heard everything you just said outside!"

Qin Qing was stunned. He saw everything?

The eldest princess's face lit up with joy, and she was about to punish Qin Qing when she heard Wang Yan continue.

"However, this general believes that what Qin said is true! The eldest princess is twenty-two years old this year, yet she is still an older unmarried woman. My marriage has always been my own decision, and I have also obtained the consent of the current emperor. Yet the eldest princess is interfering in this matter. Could it be that she is dissatisfied with what the emperor said?"

The forceful words he uttered caused the eldest princess to slump back into her chair, staring at him with a look of panic.

"No...that's not what I meant...I..."

Wang Yan gave her no chance to argue and continued.

"As a high-ranking official of the court, and with my elder brother and father having sacrificed their lives for the country, my only mother is now being humiliated by the eldest princess. May I ask the eldest princess what her intentions are? If the eldest princess insists on this, she might as well just strip me of my title, and I will have done right by my deceased father and brother!"

These words immediately escalated to the national level, causing the eldest princess to panic and lose all reason. In particular, the cold and ruthless look in Wang Yan's eyes, devoid of any emotion, caused her extreme heartache!

Everyone realized the seriousness of the situation and lowered their heads...

In his heart, he couldn't help but feel that the eldest princess had indeed gone too far. The general's mansion was now just a widow and her child. Not to mention that General Wang had just won a battle half a year ago, which had intimidated the enemy country and demonstrated the power of the Tianlong Kingdom. He was highly valued by His Majesty. At this time, the eldest princess was messing with his mother and fiancée. Wasn't she courting death?

Moreover, His Majesty has more than one princess, but there is only one talent like Wang Yan!

The atmosphere became completely frozen, and no one dared to utter a single word.

Just then, Qin Qing suddenly spoke up!

"General, you're exaggerating. It's just a little squabble between us women. Why make such a scene? Don't you agree, Princess?"

The eldest princess was in a state of panic when she heard someone come to her rescue. She looked up and saw Qin Qing. She was filled with resentment, but she had no other choice but to grit her teeth and speak.

"Yes...that's right! I was just joking, General...please don't take it seriously!"

Hearing her say that, some perceptive housewives quickly stepped in to mediate, and the atmosphere soon improved somewhat.

Wang Yan, however, remained serious, as he always was!

Madam Wang was once again shocked by Qin Qing's words, and her satisfaction with Qin Qing reached its peak! She looked at her with eyes full of admiration!

Such a woman, with both courage and martial prowess, as well as eloquence and emotional intelligence! She is simply the perfect matriarch for their general's mansion.

"You brat! Look at him, and then look at yourself!"

Wang Yan looked down at his mother and sensed her concern and affection for Qin Qing. For some reason, he felt relieved.

"Mother is right!"

Those four words infuriated Old Madam Wang once again, and she almost picked up her cane and beat him to death. Qin Qing couldn't help but laugh out loud at this scene.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, let's continue the match! I remember... Miss Anfei and Ma Xinyue are the only ones left here."

When people talked about An Fei'er, they used the prefix "Miss," but when they talked about Ma Xinyue, they only used the prefix "Bar." This obvious difference in treatment made some people glance at Ma Xinyue, causing her to stiffen...
