That evening, Leng Qingning stepped into Wangyue Pavilion just as Lu Shiyi was leaving.

Gu Nanshu told her that Lu Shiyi had come to apologize to him for running away that day, and his attitude was very sincere.

He also forgave Lu Shiyi. Wen Gong arrived just in time that day, and fortunately, Lu Shiyi was not harmed.

The two husbands reconciled.

Leng Qingning was very gratified after hearing this, and a heavy weight was lifted from her heart.

Then, remembering the purpose of her visit, she said earnestly, "Nan Shu, Leng Qinghan, the murderer, has been brought to justice. Our child can rest in peace now."

Leng Qingning frowned slightly and immediately told her husband the good news.

I hope he'll be happier.

Gu Nanshu looked lost in thought; he knew perfectly well what was going on...

"My lady, it wasn't her, was it?"

"You knew?" Leng Qingning asked in surprise.

"Hmm," he replied casually.

"When...did you find out?"

“It doesn’t matter anymore, my wife. I’ve thought a lot these days. You’re right, we still have a future, a future… we’ll have children.”

"My lady, please don't frown."

He reached out and smoothed it out for her.

"Nan Shu, it's good that you've come to terms with it." Leng Qingning was overjoyed.

"I'm so worried about you, I'm afraid you might do something rash."

“I only just found out that Leng Qinghan wasn’t the murderer. I only had suspicions before, but I thought that if she were dead, you wouldn’t be in so much pain…”

"This is also a way to give you and our children an explanation."

"Nan Shu, so you knew all along..."

Seeing how much she worried about him and how much effort she put into it, Gu Nanshu was very moved.

He gently pulled the person into his arms: "Life is full of disappointments, how can everything go smoothly?"

"Fortunately, you are here, our Susu is still here, and there is always something to look forward to in life."

"All I want is for my wife and Susu to live happily ever after," he reassured his wife.

Leng Qingning nodded and said, "Yes, things will definitely get better and better in the future. I love you, Nan Shu."

"My wife, I love you too..."

Royal Palace

With their commander returning victorious, Leng Qingning's family was freed from the previous gloom and joyfully joined the banquet.

The main characters enter one by one.

General Xie strode into the hall with a cheerful laugh, Xie Yun following closely behind.

General Meng and his commanders arrived shortly afterward to receive the congratulations of the officials.

Civil and military officials, along with their families, offered their congratulations one by one, creating a joyous and harmonious atmosphere.

The person seated above is in high spirits today.

The last to enter were the people from Langya Mansion.

Leng Qingning and her husbands entered the hall and took their seats, while Prince Ningyang and Kong Xuanzi sat on the left.

On the right is Shen Shaojun, a seat specially arranged by the Empress.

The only one absent was General Jin Yan. On his way back, he changed his itinerary and returned to the Jin Kingdom to negotiate peace with the Jin Emperor on behalf of Dayue.

The Empress stood up, beaming with joy, and raised her cup downwards.

"My beloved ministers, you have worked hard. You are all pillars of the nation. This time, you fought for Dayue and successfully recovered the two kingdoms of Qi and Huai. Your achievements are great. I toast you all with a cup."

All the generals rose in unison: "Your Majesty, we respectfully greet you."

"Respect the Empress Mother."

Leng Qingning turned her head slightly, "I also respect you, little sister."

The two sisters smiled and clinked glasses.

"Please sit down, my dear minister."

The royal attendant enthusiastically echoed, "Let the banquet begin!"

As the banquet began, singing and dancing started, and everyone was in high spirits.

"We serve you with utmost respect, my lady." All the young men of Langya Mansion bowed respectfully to Leng Qingning.

"We're all family, why be so polite?" She smiled and looked at her husbands.

Everything is in order today; everyone in the mansion has come.

This includes two gentlemen, Ke Shilang and Zhi Xianshi, as well as three unmarried men, Ji Heng, Sang Yu, and Chi Yan.

The family members couldn't take their eyes off him for a moment. It was the first time they had seen all of the young prince's husbands gathered together. Of course, most of them had already met Jin Yan.

Whispers rippled through the crowd as they discussed which young man was the most outstanding.

Apart from Wen Yanche, the other husbands are all quite popular, and their families are vying for their attention.

Seeing that Leng Qingning was not displeased, the ministers did not stop their husbands, and some even joined the discussion.

Men who prefer staying at home always enjoy discussing these kinds of topics, so it's not surprising.

They also dote on their husbands. The welcome banquet is a relaxed and joyful occasion where everyone can speak freely, and it's perfectly acceptable to chat about gossip.

Leng Qingning's family chuckled to themselves, while Sang Yu playfully teased, "Sister, I have more fans than Brother Shi Yi now."

"Hehe." Lu Shiyi sighed and rubbed his forehead. "You brat, you're so naughty."

"Our Xiaoyu is truly stunningly beautiful, radiating charm and loved by everyone," Meng Xu said with a smirk, giving her a very flattering compliment.

Meanwhile, the Left and Right Chancellors and other high-ranking officials were listening with great interest to General Xie's discussion of the war.

He spoke with such passion that he left the Left Prime Minister and the others stunned, their blood boiling.

"General Xie and General Meng, come to the Prime Minister's residence tonight. I want to chat with you all night long." The Left Prime Minister, still not satisfied, extended the invitation directly.

"Then I will go too."

"Left Prime Minister, then we will also go."

"Come on, everyone come on, it's settled then, welcome to all of you."

"Okay, okay."

The banquet lasted for more than two hours, during which Shen Su frequently glanced sideways, as if he had something to say.

"Ning'er, it seems that Young Master Shen wants to see you." Wen Yanche reminded her with a smile.

Leng Qingning put down her wine glass and looked back, her eyes meeting Shen Su's. She smiled gently, "Does Young Master have something to say?"

"Sister, isn't it obvious? Haha."
