"My lord, you are newly married. Why don't you take a few more days off? The world is at peace now, and we have nothing major to do. The Emperor will be considerate of you."

General Jin started a conversation, wanting to inquire about the situation at the Marquis's residence these past few days.

That day, he was on duty and unable to attend the wedding banquet. When his wife returned, she said that Zhao Niangzi, dressed in mourning, was causing a disturbance in the Marquis's bridal chamber, but was asked to leave by the beautiful and celestial-like Marquis's wife.

General Jin was a little unsure whether the Marquis's mansion's backyard could remain peaceful.

However, I haven't heard any rumors these days.

General Kim still wanted to see what the person in question had to say.

Gu Jinghui sighed and said, "As a general, I cannot be sentimental; I must prioritize national affairs. Now, with a critical illness at our heart and a mortal enemy still at hand, how can we lay down our weapons and let our horses graze freely?"

Although the Battle of the Northern Frontier was a great victory, both sides were severely weakened and unable to fight again. Yelü would likely make a comeback once he had recovered his strength.

The Gu family has claimed several lives in the northern frontier.

How can we let go of such a deep-seated hatred?

This goes without saying for the children like Master Gu who switched to the academic path.

Even Madam Jin is secretly advocating for you.

The Marquis's general asked in shock, "Does Gu Jinghui know that the general sent the Eighteenth Prince to Jizhou?"

In just a few days, the attitude of the Lady Hou towards Gu Jinghui had not changed drastically.

I glanced at Lady Hou's bright face and said, "Such a thing would be quite appropriate even in the northern frontier, let alone in the capital. Jin Can has been lenient with Gu Jinghui out of consideration for the two children, but Gu Jinghui's actions... but..."

These days, I also ask my wife to visit the Marquis less often and talk to Yu-jie less.

The old subordinates all felt that Jin Can would probably refuse Lu Yantian's offer to become a concubine in the mansion for the sake of the two children. However, since Gu Jinghui was still in mourning, it wouldn't affect his reputation.

"So that's what happened to you, Madam..."

The implication is that if it's a matter of state or public business, then we'll meet; otherwise, we'll meet.

Lord Gu frowned, then asked with a hint of displeasure, "That area is a military stronghold. Did Prince Qi say what it was about?"

The only question left was whether Lu Yantian could tolerate Gu Jinghui.

Does that mean Lu Yantian hasn't completely defeated Gu Jinghui yet?

To prevent Lu Yantian from giving up and causing trouble, which would only make our family look bad.

The Marquis's general responded, and he understood perfectly well that Gu Jinghui had suffered a complete defeat and was about to be kicked out by Lu Yantian.

Lu Yan said, "Shangguan heard from my wife that Lu Yantian went to make a scene in the bridal chamber before she was even out of mourning, which angered the madam. In the end, it was the Eighth Madam who asked you to leave. Gu Jinghui even said... he even said that Jin Can is the father of your two children. How can you stay in the Marquis's household after being treated like that?"

Lord Gu: "?"

The Marquis's family watched as Marquis Gu's expression went from shock to red, then white, and finally to melancholy.

The next time, I listened to that guy's nonsense and caused a scene for Yuan'er before going back, but it was all a misunderstanding.

I'm still looking for trouble.

But the general insisted that Yelü would die and have no home.

When Madam Jin returned that day, she gave Gu Jinghui a thorough scolding, saying that Gu Jinghui really had no shame, how could he have dared to bully the bride like that?

The soldier guarding the tent whispered, "General, the Prince of Qi has sent a message from the small camp, requesting an audience with you."

"It sounds like Madam is deeply in love with Jin Can. What about you, and how do you feel about the Zhao mother and son?"

How come that's exactly what I thought?

How can you say that?

Gu Jinghui said, "My sixth brother has had many sons, and now they have all turned to literature. Our Gu family has an heir, but I..."

To be honest, I've been very worried about the lack of a successor for the general.

Add to that these rumors...

Lord Gu asked, "Why?"

Lady Hou continued, "You haven't sent Eighteen to Jizhou to find Brother Pang's relatives so that we can come to the capital to help Gu Jinghui look after the two children. It's not good that Gu Jinghui is living alone in the capital with the children. After all, you are only our godfather and can make decisions for us."

From now on, our families should also stay away from Gu Jinghui.

He hasn't consummated his marriage yet.

Marquis's General: "..."

General Jin also sighed and abruptly changed the subject, saying, "General, you should prioritize national affairs, but you should also give birth to a son as soon as possible so that Old Madam Gu can have peace of mind."

"In my opinion, if Gu Jinghui finds out about that matter, he will probably make a scene."

That question wasn't even asked directly.

That is...

Lu Yan was slightly shocked.

Lu Yantian hesitated for a moment, then said with a troubled expression, "Your wife is very clingy, her heart is full of you, but she's old and holds grudges. Hmm, you don't know what to do to make her so bad."

The soldier said, "It's about Lu Yantian."

General Jin immediately chimed in, "What? Is it because you and your wife are not getting along? I am not very talented, but I have some experience in the way of getting along with your wife. We people follow the general and risk our lives for our future, so naturally we will also suffer losses. We will all have to take wives, have children, and take concubines. When it comes to fighting, we are all as good as the general when we are all together, but when it comes to matters between men and women, we are all veterans."

Lu Yan said she would, she would, but in reality she was thinking that the East Wind prevailed over the West Wind, not the other way around.

Master Gu is like a big chick; he's even been to the battlefield.

If the Lady of the Marquis has a son, who will our ancestors rely on for their future?

Lu Yan was even more shocked.

The Marquis's mansion gasped in shock; that spoiled, clingy, and vengeful Yu-jie was truly something else.

The reason why Xiaowei considered this an extraordinary move was naturally because he had no other intentions.

That……

If seven tigers fight, none of them will be injured.

The Marquis's family gasped again.
