Things had gotten to such a point that it was already late at night when the group returned to the Lu Mansion.

On the way, Princess Yanyang reminded Danruo in the carriage that she must be more proactive in serving the young general, because this battle was dangerous and Lu Xiuyuan was in great danger, so she should at least try to leave a descendant for the Lu family.

She put aside her pride and pleaded as a mother, and promised that if Danruo gave birth to a child, regardless of the boy or girl, she would give Danruo 100,000 taels of silver.

If Lu Xiuyuan dies on the battlefield, Dan Ruo will be named Lu Xiuyuan's wife.

If Lu Xiuyuan hadn't died and they discussed the marriage again, she, as the mother-in-law, would guarantee Danruo's status and position.

--

Lu Xiuyuan wanted to talk to Princess Yanyang about the groom, but Princess Yanyang didn't want to listen and just pushed him to go to the room and rest early.

The room had already been lit by the old woman with auxiliary spices. Lu Xiuyuan looked at Dan Ruo who was lying on her bed again. She had taken off her clothes and was lying in the green brocade quilt. Without the layer of pink gauze covering her, her skin looked even whiter than porcelain.

He grew up in a military camp and heard too many dirty jokes, so he roughly knew the location.

He felt the heat in his body and recalled his mother's expectant eyes just now. He leaned down and looked at Danruo's trembling eyelashes. He felt the fire in his heart became even hotter.

Veins popped on his forehead and his breathing quickened. Before he could control himself, he confirmed again: "If you don't want to, I can let you go."

Dan Ruo reached out and grabbed his neck and pulled him down. Lu Xiuyuan got the response and pulled down the bed curtain.

The nanny outside heard the noise and passed the news to Princess Yanyang. Princess Yanyang cried with joy and knelt in the Buddhist temple until dawn, praying that my son could have a son or daughter to continue his bloodline, even if it was a girl.

After a sleepless night, Lu Xiuyuan played with Dan Ruo's black hair and lay on his side, "Can I see your face?"

Dan Ruo's eyes dodged and her voice was helpless: "I was injured. The scar is ugly and will scare you."

Lu Xiuyuan kissed her forehead and said, "I don't know whether I will live or die. You are my only woman. If I come back alive, I will marry you. If I don't survive, you can marry someone else. I just want to see your face and live my life without regrets."

When Dan Ruo heard this, crystal tears instantly filled her red eyes. She took off her veil with her bare hands, exposing her face completely in front of Lu Xiuyuan.

As a maid in the Gu Mansion, she couldn't protect herself, and of course she couldn't change her appearance.

Now that she has arrived at the Lu Mansion, she has only used her spiritual power to make slight adjustments to her original body. Of course, the scar is still there, and there needs to be a reason to heal it.

Lu Xiuyuan caressed the scar tenderly, his eyes filled with sorrow: "It must have been very painful at the time."

Dan Ruo shook her head, as if she recalled something, and tears suddenly welled up in her eyes, as if someone suddenly cared about her, and the grievances she had felt at that time poured out all at once.

Lu Xiuyuan stroked her black hair distressedly, "How did your face get hurt?"

The girl said she lost the hairpin and that I stole it. She then tortured me on the face with her own hands. I searched for the hairpin all night, and the next day I saw it on her head. The wound on her face was left like this because there was no medicine to treat it.

Dan Ruo woke up from her memories, her face covered with tears. She forced a smile at Lu Xiuyuan: "It's all in the past. I was ignorant at that time."

Lu Xiuyuan felt heartbroken. How could she be so kind? If he hadn't been able to hear what she was really thinking, he would have been coaxed into submission by her.

He lowered his head and gently kissed Danruo's scar as if it were a treasure, blushing and whispering:

"My Ruo'er is as beautiful as a lotus. Although this scar looks like a rosy glow, it does not detract from her beauty at all. However, I will find the best scar removal medicine to remove it, so that Ruo'er won't have to wear a veil all day long."

But in her heart, she felt even more disgusted with Gu Wanru. As a lady from a noble family, she had an affair with someone without regard for etiquette and morality. She was also so vicious. She must have seen that Danruo, a maid, was a hundred times prettier than her, so she found an excuse to destroy Danruo's face.

He thought about it and decided to get up. He wanted to let his mother see the true faces of Mrs. Gu and Gu Wanru, and he also had to deal with the matter of the groom.

Dan Ruo watched his departing back. In this world, she had specially negotiated with the Samsara Pearl to exchange 500 merit points for the ability to allow Lu Xiuyuan to hear her designated voice regularly, so that the faces of Gu Wanru and her daughter could be revealed quickly.

Otherwise, the original owner was a maid, powerless, trapped in the backyard, and it would be difficult for her to find her true identity and take revenge.

Now I am just waiting for good news from Lu Xiuyuan.

Last night, Lu Xiuyuan sent people to protect the groom and his family of the Gu Mansion, in order to prevent the groom from not daring to tell the truth because of his family being in the hands of Mrs. Gu. Under coercion and inducement, the groom quickly confessed, and everything he said was consistent with what Danruo said.

Princess Yanyang tossed and turned last night and did not sleep all night. When she found out that she had been deceived by Madam Gu for so many years, she felt dizzy and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, Lu Xiuyuan supported her in time.

She was trembling all over. She had given Mrs. Gu a lot of good things over the years. She was afraid that Mrs. Gu must be feeling proud of herself behind her back and thought she was a fool.

"I will send you off to fight first, and then I will go to the palace and complain to the Queen Mother. What kind of monster dares to plot against me?"
