Those who know Lu Yanzheng know that he is not a mean person.

However, the fact that he now uttered the word "seduce" shows just how deep his disgust for Yu Hanyan is.

The soldiers watching the commotion at the camp gate could deduce the general situation from Lu Yanzheng's words. They had felt some sympathy for Yu Hanyan just now, but now their eyes were filled with contempt.

"I never expected that Deputy General Ling would take a liking to someone like this."

"I told you there weren't many truly chaste women from Luying, and now it's proven true, hasn't it?"

"That's not fair to say. When Marshal Qin disbanded the village camp, many veterans married young women from there. How could they possibly live peacefully?"

"That's true, then it's a problem with this Miss Yu's character..."

Yu Hanyan stared at Lu Yanzheng in disbelief, completely unable to accept that he would say such things in public!

"You... how could you..." She dared to come here to stop Lu Yanzheng because she was certain that he was a gentleman and would not make certain things public.

But she miscalculated. Not only did Lu Yanzheng reveal it in public, but the onlookers also immediately exposed her past.

The Yu family had three generations of officials in the capital, the highest-ranking being the fourth-rank Vice Minister of the Secretariat, who was Yu Hanyan's father.

Just when it seemed that the Yu family's glory was just around the corner, Minister Yu was embroiled in the succession struggle. The prince he supported was defeated, and members of the Yu family were beheaded, exiled to the army, sold off all their servants, and sent to the village camp.

Unable to bear such humiliation, Yu Hanyan's mother, aunt, and sisters bit their tongues and committed suicide on their first day in the village camp.

At that time, Yu Hanyan was only ten years old. Although she was in the village camp, she did not receive the soldiers.

When she was twelve, she met Deputy General Ling. Just then, Marshal Qin took over the border army and was about to disband the Lu Camp. Deputy General Ling took the opportunity to redeem Yu Hanyan.

Later, Yu Hanyan got to know Lu Yanzheng through Deputy General Ling. At first glance, she fell in love with the handsome and aloof Lu Yanzheng.

Later, Deputy General Ling sacrificed himself to save Lu Yanzheng and begged Lu Yanzheng to take care of Yu Hanyan, which made Yu Hanyan extremely happy.

However, due to Vice General Ling, she did not express her feelings in the past few years; she was simply bolder in her behavior towards the men she liked.

Lu Yanzheng stared coldly at her, his grip on the reins tightening suddenly, his words as sharp as ice: "Get out of the way!"

Yu Hanyan instinctively shrank back, but did not move aside.

Lu Yanzheng looked impatient. Seeing this, he snorted coldly, suddenly spurred the horse's belly, and the horse let out a long neigh. Then, its front hooves rose high, and with the force of its hind legs, it leaped directly over Yu Hanyan's head in the next instant!

"General, your horsemanship is excellent!"

"As expected of our great general, he's truly amazing!"

"Oh dear, now that Miss Yu has nothing to say, right?"

"Hey you guys, have some compassion! She's heartbroken. Come on, let's get back to training..."

These people's words were like slaps to Yu Hanyan's face.

Looking in the direction Lu Yanzheng left, Yu Hanyan suddenly chuckled a few times, then burst into sobbing. She was laughing and crying at the same time, and anyone who didn't know better would think she had gone mad.

"Miss!" Ruhua appeared out of nowhere. "Miss, please get up!"

Last night, the girl asked her what to do now, and she casually suggested that they could block the general's way back to the mansion, and perhaps the general would soften his heart and take them back.

When she woke up this morning, she couldn't find the girl anywhere. She ran out and searched everywhere for a long time before remembering what she had said last night. She rushed over along the road and saw this scene.

Yu Hanyan looked up at her and asked sadly, "Didn't you say he would definitely soften his heart?"

Ruhua was stunned for a moment, then immediately knelt down and cried, "Miss, I just thought that a kind-hearted person like the General would not break his oath, who would have thought..."

It was obvious that Yu Hanyan's attempt to stop Lu Yanzheng had failed.

Although she brought it up, she really just said it casually and had no idea that her master was so earnest that he would immediately come to the gate of the military camp to stop people!

"Where can we go now?" Yu Hanyan choked back tears, unable to contain herself.

Ruhua wiped away her tears and helped her up. "Girl, let's go back and make some plans."

...

The farce that unfolded at the military camp gate reached Jiang Qinyu's ears the very next day.

"What? Yu Hanyan went to the entrance of the military camp to block the general?" Jiang Qinyu stared in disbelief at Yunzhu, the maid Chen Bo had sent to take care of her yesterday afternoon, and was very puzzled by Yu Hanyan's actions.

Yunzhu scoffed, "I think she dared to do this because she thought the general wouldn't expose her intentions. Unfortunately, she was wrong. Now that the general has a wife, he naturally puts her first in everything."

Jiang Qinyu was speechless. How come she was always dragged into everything?

But thinking about it, Yu Hanyan is really brave! She was already humiliated by Lu Yanzheng in the manor, yet she still dared to go to the military camp gate to block people. Well, she got what she wanted.

“Madam, you probably don’t know, but that Miss Yu comes from a humble background. Yesterday, she went to the gate of the military camp and reminded many women who had already reformed of their origins of their own, causing quite a few of them to lose sleep last night!” Yunzhu continued.

She was a local from the border town, with a cheerful and outspoken personality. To put it bluntly, she was guileless and didn't hold back when she spoke.

"What is a Lüying?" Jiang Qinyu asked curiously.

Lu Yanzheng previously said that Yu Hanyan's background was not honorable, was he referring to this Luying?

Yunzhu blurted out, "The Lüying is a brothel provided by the imperial court for the army, uh..."
