Madam Wang walked out of the gate of the Ding'an Marquis's mansion. She glanced up, her eyes full of sarcasm: "With the death of the Ding'an Marquis, the Meng family army is in disarray. Meng Huaichuan, a useless playboy, can't even support the family. Why should I worry about them?"
When the Prince of Zhennan breaks into the imperial city in the future, that will be the day when their Wang family will be proud!
Sooner or later, she will have to pay for this humiliation she received from the Lord!
Inside the Marquis' Mansion, those who came to pay their respects did so quietly. No one dared to cause trouble, and the crowds of onlookers also dispersed.
Meng Huaichuan stood in the courtyard, silent for a moment, then turned around and walked up to Xie Xianyu, his eyes more determined than ever.
"Tomorrow, I will set off for the border. The Meng family army cannot be left without a leader. I will carry on the work that my father failed to complete."
Xie Xianyu patted his shoulder: "Okay."
Xie Xianyu didn't stay any longer and left with Wanruo.
Xie Xiuzhu came over with red eyes: "Do you really want to?"
Meng Huaichuan pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with hatred: "My father didn't die at the hands of the Beiliang people, but from a cold arrow in the back."
He clenched his hands in his sleeves. "Someone must have assassinated him. He spent his whole life in the military, but he died at the hands of his own people. How could I not know what the person behind the scenes wanted? With his death, the Meng family army is leaderless and in disarray. This is where they can take advantage of the situation."
"They simply think that I'm not up to the task and can't support the Meng family army, but I want to let them know that there are no weaklings in my Meng family!"
Xie Xiuzhu sniffed and held his hand: "I know you will do it."
Meng Huaichuan's eyes suddenly turned red, and a sour feeling came up in his throat. He hugged Xiuzhu tightly, buried his head in her shoulder, and let the tears in his eyes soak into the white linen cloth on her shoulder.
The grief that had been suppressed for two days finally poured out at this moment.

On the way to the Fu Mansion, Xie Xianyu's expression was solemn. "Marquis Ding'an's death was strange. During the battle with Beiliang, he was seriously injured and killed by a hidden arrow from behind. I think the person behind this is probably colluding with Beiliang."
"Is Beiliang deliberately cooperating?!"
"That's probably the case. Once Marquis Ding'an dies, the Meng family army will surely be in chaos. If Meng Huaichuan can't control it, I'm afraid Western Zhou will inevitably face another fierce battle."
Wan Ruo couldn't help but tighten her grip on his hand: "Prince Zhennan will definitely take this opportunity to counterattack. The Wang family can no longer sit still."
The reason why the Wang family dared to be so arrogant was because they predicted that the Meng family army would fall apart without Marquis Ding'an?
The situation of being leaderless is a perfect opportunity, and they will not let it go.
"Young Marquis, is it really possible?"
Xie Xianyu held her hand in return. "Don't worry. Meng Huaichuan is no pushover. The Meng family army is loyal to their master. He's the only son of Marquis Ding'an. He's the best choice to lead the army right now."
Even though the Meng family army is no longer as brave as before, it is enough to guard the border and prevent chaos at the border. What he is most worried about is that someone will take the opportunity to cause trouble in Beijing.
When people's hearts are in turmoil, heresy is most likely to arise. Xie Xianyu's eyes grew sinister for a few seconds. He was afraid that the capital would not be peaceful.
Wan Ruo suddenly asked, "Who was responsible for the arrow that shot the Marquis of Ding'an in the back?"
