Jinling Li Mansion is the most desirable place for all the famous people and noble families in Jinling. And being able to stand in Mr. Li's study is a proud thing worth showing off to others.
But today, the person who broke into the study with a sword in hand was a woman.
Although she was a princess, she was only treated as a tool in the past, and no one in the Li family really took her seriously.
But after the princess said those words, the Li family could no longer use her as a tool for marriage.
Mr. Li, who was standing in front of the bookshelf, slowly turned around and looked at his aggressive granddaughter.
Mu Wanyao was young and bright, and she had a natural elegance and grace. When Mr. Li looked at her, she was actually a little nervous, observing her grandfather.
Mr. Li was her maternal grandfather, who was already in his sixties or seventies this year, with gray hair on his temples, a clear face, and a very thin body. However, Mr. Li looked at her with eyes as bright as stars and lightning, and was very discerning. This was an old man who was not confused, and he would not believe everything Mu Wanyao said.
Mu Wan raised his chin high, not frightened.
Lord Li stared at her for a long while, and the servant rushed in, begging for mercy in panic, saying that the princess should not be allowed to intrude. Mu Wanyao sneered disdainfully, and Lord Li ordered the guards who failed to stop the princess to be beaten with twenty sticks and expelled from the Li family, and then he sat down at the desk with a book in his hand.
Hearing that Lord Li had directly driven people out of the Li family, Mu Wan's eyes trembled. Jinling was the base camp of the Li family. If the servants of the Li family were driven out, would there be any mansion that would dare to accept them in the future?
This is a life-ending journey.
So cruel.
Lord Li looked at her expression and said calmly, "Why, Princess, are you soft-hearted? People with soft hearts cannot play politics. A soft-hearted lady should get married early and have children. After marriage, I will let you continue to be your arrogant and domineering princess."
Mu Wanyao immediately said, "I'm not soft-hearted! The Grand Duke doesn't care about the servants of the Li family, so why should I care? I was born in the palace and have seen palace servants being beaten to death since I was a child. If I were to be soft-hearted, I would have been soft-hearted a long time ago. Why wait until now? What I'm talking about with the Grand Duke today is the overall situation and government affairs. Do you think that the life and death of a few servants can make me retreat?"
With a bright light in her eyes, she took a step forward and stood in the sunlight in the center of the library: "Having come this far, I will not retreat even a step."
Mr. Li stared at her deeply.
Then he said calmly, "So, you don't want to marry? When the Li family supported you, the condition was that you could marry. Your Highness, now that you have grown stronger, are you going to regret it?"
Mu Wanyao retorted, "This is a different time. Back then, you took advantage of my youth and ignorance of politics and hastily made decisions for me. How could I have any ideas? Now I am not regretting it, but the situation has changed. The Li family has not been in Chang'an for a long time and has been away from the political situation for a long time. The general trend of the world is ultimately determined by the Central Plains. The decision made by the Grand Duke back then is no longer necessary today.
"I still say the same thing as before. It doesn't matter whether I marry or not. I am a princess anyway, and all you want is a marriage alliance. Even if I don't like Wei Juyuan after I marry him, what can the Wei family say if I keep a few concubines? I just support my granddaughter in my heart and don't want to see the Li family suffer, so I rushed to Nanjing to explain. After all, this is my mother's family, how can I watch my mother's family repeat the same mistakes and be swallowed up by the situation?"
Mr. Li didn't say anything for a long time.
As Mu Wanyao said, the Li family now has a big flaw, which is that they have not been at the center of the political situation for a long time, and it is difficult to judge the current situation. Mr. Li is really unsure about how much truth there is in Mu Wanyao's words.
Li Gongdao: "How can the marriage between the Li family and the Wei family be swallowed up by the situation?"
Mu Wanyao felt relieved, knowing that the other party was beginning to waver. However, she reminded herself not to be complacent, but to remain calm and maintain her momentum. Once she showed any fear, it would be easy for the other party to notice. She really didn't dare to take a single step against someone like the other party who had been playing politics for decades.
So you have to be half true and half false in order to fool the other person.
Mu Wan shook his head without changing his expression: "When the Li family was in charge of the southern border army, they were the number one family, and no one dared to say anything. After that, the Li family retreated to Nanjing. Over the years, gradually, the Nanyang Jiang family, to which my third brother belonged, began to replace the Li family's former position.
"The Jiang family is close to Guanzhong and is a great family in the north. It is easy for them to get involved. Naturally, someone wants to take over the military power that the Li family gave up. The people who took it over became my third brother's mother's family. And relying on the military power, the Jiang family has been growing stronger over the years. My third brother actually dared to compete with the prince for the position. Even my father couldn't say anything."
Lord Li sneered, "Your father is old."
Mu Wan nodded, "What Grandfather said is right. Since my mother passed away, my father's health has not been as good as before. No matter how he suppressed the Li family in the past, he now does not have the energy to suppress the Nanyang Jiang family. However, the aristocratic family is always a concern for my father. He cannot sit idly by and watch the Jiang family become powerful and become the Li family of the past. His current methods are much more tactful. Compared with the thunderous methods in the past, he now uses the method of using the opponent's strength to fight against the opponent.
"This time, the envoys were active in Chang'an with my third brother. How could the court not know about this? After the envoys left, the central government immediately used this excuse to put my third brother in solitary confinement. After that, the Crown Prince took over the military power in Chang'an, and my father used the Crown Prince's hand to mobilize the imperial guards in the Northern Yamen. In the end, my father sided with the Crown Prince and helped him take back the military power, preventing my third brother from becoming the only one in power and threatening my Crown Prince."
Lord Li pondered for a long time, wondering if the emperor would really soften his approach and stop being so violent?
Is this still the emperor that the Li family fears? Could it be that the old emperor has finally grown old... or has he softened his heart because of his daughter?
His daughter is gone, and he's starting to repent. This is ridiculous.
Li Gong said calmly: "But what does this have to do with my Li family?"
Mu Wanyao said in a clear voice: "Isn't the past of the Li family the present of the Jiang family? Isn't the present of the Jiang family the future of the Li family who wants to marry the Wei family? Father doesn't allow the noble families to become powerful, but you insist on becoming powerful. Isn't this a thorn in the eye of Father? Grand Duke is not interested in marrying into the royal family. He knows that the imperial power is terrible and doesn't want to be an enemy again. Does Grand Duke still hope to have another encounter with the imperial power?
"When they were forced to return to Jinling, if they were to be attacked again, would the Li family be wiped out?"
"How dare you!" Lord Li slammed the table and shouted angrily.
Mu Wanyao pressed on step by step, her beautiful and bright eyes staring at him like flames: "Grand Duke! In this world, the imperial power is supreme! No matter how powerful the noble families are, they must give way. Unless you want to rebel and declare yourself emperor... But if you declare yourself emperor, you will be the new imperial power!
"Father is consolidating the imperial power and strengthening it. The noble families in Chang'an are all pretending to be grandsons and are unwilling to step forward. Are we going to be crushed if we step forward?
"Why did the Wei family agree to let Wei Juyuan and I marry? Because Wei Juyuan is just a bastard. To put it bluntly, he was born to a concubine! With such a background, the Wei family can give up at any time. If something goes wrong, the Wei family will give up Wei Juyuan to protect themselves. Then what should the Li family give up? Give up me?
"If you give up on me, you will have nothing to do with the political center! The Li family is peaceful now because I am here! I rely on the Li family, and the royal family also controls and adjusts the relationship with the southern gentry through me. If you give up on me, are you preparing for a complete break? It has only been a few years since the Li family was defeated and returned to Nanjing, and everything has not been recovered. Do you still have the confidence to break up now?
"You should trust me, take advantage of my influence, and manage the Southern family well. I understand that the Li family wants to return to Chang'an, but now... at least when my father is in power, this is impossible. But as long as the prince takes the throne... the prince trusts the family! As long as the prince takes the throne, we will have a chance!"
Mu Wanyao talked eloquently, his voice was as clear as pearls and jade.
However, she is no longer an ordinary puppet controlled by the Li family.
Li Gong stared at her in a daze, and saw that her eyes were full of confidence. She talked about the situation and made her own analysis. Not to mention every detail, at least in general, her judgment was correct. In a trance, Li Gong saw his beloved daughter's figure in her. He saw that his daughter was still an unmarried girl, and she was also so confident, commenting on the situation and heroes of the world at will...
How proud Li Nuan is!
When she was a young girl, she commented on the heroes of the world, and was heard by the emperor who was a prince during a private visit. That person asked Li Nuan to marry her, but the Jinling Li family was still hesitating whether to cooperate with the prince. And it was Li Nuan who ran to the library and stood where Mu Wanyao was standing now, talking freely and confidently, saying that she would definitely help the prince ascend the throne and help the Li family prosper...
In a flash, thirty years have passed!
Thirty years!
Mr. Li still thought that he would never be able to see the same spirit his daughter had in her youth in any other girl again.
Mu Wan shook her head and said, "So, I can't get married!"
This voice overlapped with Li Nuan's voice in Li Gong's memory. And what Li Nuan said at that time was - "So, I should marry!"
After Mu Wanyao finished speaking, she heard nothing. She felt a little panicked and turned to look at Li Gong. He was staring at her blankly, his eyes showing fatigue. He looked more than ten years older in an instant.
Mu Wan was stunned and said softly: "Grandpa...what's wrong with you? What did I say wrong?"
Li Gong collected his confused mind and hid his expression with his sleeves. When he raised his head again, he regained his composure.
Lord Li said tiredly, "So you don't want the Li family and the Wei family to marry because you think the Li family can't afford to lose. You hope that we will continue to cooperate with you, provide you with support, and let you help the Li family turn things around in Chang'an. You have a good idea... But, you are a girl after all. You will always get married and have children, why don't you just listen to us? Is there something wrong with Wei Juyuan, who your uncle chose for you? The husband we chose for you is not bad. Marrying each other does not mean making enemies."
Mu Wanyao said softly: "Wei Juyuan is very good. I have a pleasant cooperation with him... I know that although the Li family wants to use me for marriage, they also hope that my marriage will be happy. After all, I am my mother's only daughter, and after all, you are my grandfather, you will not watch me sad for the rest of my life...
"But I am a princess who married back from a foreign country. I have seen through marriage and have no interest in it. The Li family and I are tied together. We prosper together and suffer together. Grand Duke, you'd better take a good rest. The Li family... shouldn't take the lead now. Let other families take the lead and we can just watch the show.
"If Grand Duke doesn't believe my judgment, why don't we make a bet? Father will definitely deal with Third Brother's mother's family."
Li Gong was silent for a long time, and then said, "Please stay in Jinling for two more days and tell us about the situation in Chang'an."
He laughed at himself: "I have been out of politics for a long time, and I have become a frog in a well, a joke. Now I have to rely on a little girl like you to know the affairs of Chang'an... I have managed the Li family poorly. When I die, I will be ashamed of my ancestors."
Mu Wanyao felt a little uncomfortable when he heard an old man say this.
However, she breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that the purpose of her trip to Jinling had basically been achieved.
She became relaxed, with a hint of a smile on her lips, but when Li Gong looked at her, she quickly put away her pride.
Lord Li shook his head, thinking that the little princess was still too young, as her emotions were clearly shown on her face.
When Mu Wanyao was about to leave, Li Gong suddenly called her: "Yaoyao."
Mu Wan shook his head for a moment, tilted half of his shoulder, and looked intently.
She listened to the old man's gentle voice: "Yaoyao, don't blame us, don't blame your mother. We had no choice but to send you to marry. After you left, your mother got a heart disease and cried every day. She regretted it later. At that time, your mother told me that she hoped the internal struggle between the Li family and your father would end soon, and she wanted to take you back. No matter what conditions Wu Man proposed, your mother wanted to take you back."
Mu Wanyao's face suddenly tensed.
There was a breath in my heart, and it choked for a moment.
She didn't think about it, and never dared to think about it.
She was separated from her mother when she married and never saw her again. She came back to Chang'an with the news of her mother's death... She never had the chance to ask her mother, "Do you regret sending me to marry?"
People always say that mothers are softer-hearted than fathers.
But her mother was so cruel that she was determined to take revenge on her father for the sake of her second brother, and even her daughter was dragged into it.
Do you regret it?
In the netherworld, after knowing what I went through, mother, have you ever regretted it?
Is it possible that Second Brother is your flesh and blood, but I am not? Is it possible that you only love Second Brother and not me?
...Mother, I am so disappointed in you. Even now, when Grand Duke said this, I don't know whether he was telling the truth or just trying to rely on family affection to steady me. You people...are hypocritical, dirty, and vicious...and I am becoming just like you.
Lord Li quietly looked at the young princess standing in front of the study door.
After seeing Mu Wan standing there for a long time, she turned back and smiled, her eyes sparkling like a lake: "I know. Regardless of whether what Grandfather said is true or not, if Mother loves me a little, I will always feel a little comforted."
When Mr. Li saw her like this, he knew that she didn't really believe it.
Mr. Li laughed at himself.
He sighed, "Yaoyao, maybe you blame us for being cruel. But things in the world, people in the world... are all like this. You were born in the royal family, and you are the granddaughter of the Li family. You have to walk the same path as us. You spoke very well before, and you were very good at fooling people. But now you are showing your cowardice... Yaoyao, you still need to be harder and more tactful."
Mu Wan tilted her face away.
She thought of the three books that the emperor had ordered to be compiled by the Hanlin Academy and Wendou when the envoys were still there:
"Song of the Daughters of Chang'an", "Song of the Young Men of Chang'an", and "Records of the Heroes of Chang'an".
Mu Wan shook his head and said foolishly: "I know I will become like you...but I want to be a hero more."
Li Gong was silent for a moment, then said, "Even if you want to be a hero, who is born a great hero?"
Mu Wanyao sighed softly, nodded, and stared at the sky reflected from a corner of the study window——
Yes, who is born a hero?
-----
Mu Wanyao was left in Jinling by Li, who asked her to tell her in detail about the political situation in Chang'an. Although Mu Wanyao was eager to return home, she still patiently persuaded Li. She made the political situation in Chang'an sound more serious and chaotic than it actually was, so that Li would decide not to mess up the situation.
It was cloudy and rainy in Chang'an.
In the tavern, Wei Shu was sitting by the window drinking alone. When he heard the waiter calling him, he turned his head and saw Yan Shang being led upstairs by the waiter. Yan Shang closed his umbrella while going upstairs, flicking off the water droplets that splashed on his shoulders. At the same time, Yan Shang tilted his head and spoke softly to the waiter.
Wei Shu saw that the waiter who was indifferent to him was very enthusiastic towards Yan Erlang. He not only took the initiative to help Yan Shang put away his umbrella, but also took out a towel to wipe the rain splashed on Yan Shang's shoulders. Yan Shang thanked him again and insisted on giving him a tip.
When the waiter left, Wei Shu felt that the other person was dizzy and was deeply moved by Yan Erlang.
Wei Shu watched quietly.
Yan Shang, who had come upstairs, also saw him, smiled gently at him, and walked towards him. He was gentle and elegant, with a temperament as bright as jade, and his good demeanor was much better than when Wei Shu first met him.
Wei Shu thought to himself, some people in this world become less interesting the longer you know them; however, some people become better the longer you know them.
Yan Shang came over and sat down, apologetically explaining, "When I came here, I saw Brother Liu leading the Northern Yamen army passing through the Imperial Street. I was moved and followed the people to look a little more, which delayed me. I drink a glass of wine as punishment to apologize to you."
Wei Shu looked at him and said, "Are you punishing yourself with wine?"
Of course he knew that Yan Shang didn't drink easily.
Yan Shang paused, then accepted it with a smile: "Well, let's drink."
After that, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all. Seeing that he was willing to drink, Wei Shu smiled, knowing that Yan Shang was sincerely apologizing.
Wei Shu said: "The brother Liu you are talking about is Liu Wenji, right?"
Yan Shang nodded.
Wei Shu said in a clear and cool voice: "Among us, you are the only one who still cares about Liu Wenji."
Yan Shang was quiet for a moment, and said softly: "It's not easy for him to get to where he is today."
Wei Shu didn't care. He leaned against the window, looked down at the sake in his wine jar, and said calmly: "You have no ability, but you force yourself to stand out. You will have to bear the consequences. Who has it easy in this world?"
Wei Shu was a cold and aloof person. He was often approached by others, but he never approached others on his own initiative. After becoming the Censor-in-Chief, Wei Shu became even more cold-hearted and kept to himself, making him unpopular in the court. This was the first time that Wei Shu took the initiative to comment on Liu Wenji.
Yan Shang looked at him and saw that the boy's eyes were a little red and his eyes were a little hazy. Yan Shang weighed the half-empty wine jar again and sighed: "Juyuan, you drank too much. You are still young, how can you drink so much without restraint?"
Wei Shu said, "I am not young anymore. I am already sixteen. The Wei family is going to arrange a marriage between me and the princess. Am I still young?"
Yan Shang said nothing, but called the waiter to make some hot tea for Wei Shu to sober up. Yan Shang started to be busy again, taking care of the people around him, as if he had already become accustomed to it. Wei Shu sat opposite and looked at him for a while, and suddenly said: "I went on a diplomatic mission to various countries, left Wei, and resisted the marriage with the princess. Shouldn't you thank me?"
Yan Shang was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Do you need me to thank you?"
Wei Shu didn't say anything.
Yan Shang sighed: "Juyuan, although you are young, you have your own ideas. You are so young and you can take charge of the court. How can I look down on you? Whether you refuse the marriage or not, you have your own ideas. What you want is not my thanks. What you want is my support.
"I know you have ambitions and don't want to become someone else's pawn. You were very decisive in your decision. Even if I were in your position, I couldn't do better than you. You have to make a decision when necessary... I am not as courageous as Wei Qilang."
Wei Shu stared at him blankly for a long while, then couldn't help smiling. His shoulders relaxed and he leaned over the table.
Wei Shu muttered: "Yan Erlang always speaks in a nice way."
Yan Shang said softly: "I am telling the truth."
Wei Shu was silent for a long time, and then he said in a low voice: "But am I really doing the right thing? In order to get out of the chess game, I took the initiative to go on a diplomatic mission to various countries. This trip is long and I don't know when I can come back. Maybe I will die outside, maybe I will never come back to Chang'an, or maybe I won't complete the mission well, and my official career will be cut off after I come back.
"The Wei family arranged for me to enter the government, and I know what they are thinking. They think that I am just an adopted son, and if I can cooperate well with the princess, the Wei family will be able to climb into the royal family and have a good future. After all, what happened to the Li family in the past made the aristocratic families nervous. However, if the cooperation is not good, I can be abandoned at any time. Anyway, the Wei family will not suffer any loss, and I am not a direct descendant of the Wei family.
"My teacher asked me to marry the princess for the sake of cooperation. I don't know whether the teacher values the friendship between me and his disciple more or whether he wants to use me more. I was originally following their arrangements calmly...but I am becoming more and more dissatisfied!
“This wasn’t supposed to be my path!”
Wei Shu, who was leaning over the desk, suddenly looked up. He had a handsome face and his eyes were as bright as ice and snow, shockingly bright.
Wei Shu stared at Yan Shang: "Last year, my second brother Yan and I took the imperial examination at the same time, and then we took the imperial examination at the same time. I was the top scholar, and my second brother Yan was only the third place. And I don't know how much of my third place was due to the princess's advice in advance. Although I won't say it, I know that you were helped by the princess to pass the exam with great difficulty.
"I know that Second Brother Yan's talent is not here. I know that the princess is helping you. I don't care, but I am not convinced in my heart. I wonder why you can win the favor of His Highness? I am the top scholar, and after the examination, I am a positive eighth rank, and you are a low eighth rank. You have always been a head shorter than me!
“I was full of energy at that time!
"But things were different afterwards... You killed the head of the Zheng family with one arrow, and before you even took the imperial examination, the court was already vying for you. Then you suddenly became the prime minister's apprentice and were favored by the prime minister. You began to gain prominence in Chang'an, but I was disliked because I was always monitoring the officials.
"Then envoys from various countries came to pay homage. You shot an arrow from Nanshan Mountain, tying you and the princess together. Then you negotiated with the King of Wuman, argued with reason, and helped Wuman and Wei to set new conditions for the alliance.
"It's a military exercise again! You are just a civilian officer, why would King Wuman want you to go on the field? But King Wuman, because he doesn't like you, insists that you go on the field with a group of military officers.
"During the military exercise, I was only in the rear to manage the food and grass, and you and Yang Sanlang were at the front. Yang Sanlang was very impressive, and he stopped the Wuman King with just a few dozen people, forcing the enemy to take a detour. You burned the food and grass, cutting off the enemy's food supply. Afterwards, when analyzing the military strength of various countries, you did not do much worse than Yang Sanlang.
"Then you surpassed me in an instant and became a seventh-rank official. You wrote to the central government, opened trade routes, and made diplomatic missions. And I... was suppressed by the Wei family and had to go on diplomatic missions! Today you are going to Shuzhong again... Second Brother Yan, I always feel that since you started to be an official, you have always been better and faster than me. Why am I so inferior to you?"
Yan Shang looked at Wei Shu quietly.
Wei Shu never said these things. He was just leaving now, just because he drank too much... Yan Shang said: "Juyuan, why are you looking at me? You also have your own path, you..."
Wei Shu interrupted softly: "But I don't know if I'm leaving in the right way."
He was silent for a while, then said slowly: "Will my mission really have a good result? I thought about it and thought that when I first became an official, it was actually to earn an imperial decree for my mother. Later, it was to let the Wei family see that I could fight for a way out if I didn't follow their path. After that, I began to feel lost... I wanted to do more. I began to feel that it would be boring if I was just controlled by politics and swayed left and right.
"Brother Yan, I also want to do something..."
As he spoke, his voice gradually lowered, because he was confused and didn't know the way forward.
Yan Shang suddenly said, "Juyuan, I am the same as you. When I first became an official, I wanted to do things for the people. But when I actually became an official, I found that it was not the case. I was in the Secretariat when I first entered the government, which seemed to be a good start. But in the Secretariat, I was busy with miscellaneous affairs all day long. And I didn't think my superiors were busy with any important matters.
"It's just one cumbersome procedure after another. It's just that a decree is passed to one department, and this department pushes it to another department. It keeps passing the buck, back and forth. What's the point of all this? I'm busy with these affairs all day long, but what benefit do I get from it to the people?
"It is precisely because I don't like doing these things that I try my best to participate in the affairs of the envoys and keep submitting various memorials... You only saw that the central government accepted one of my memorials, but you don't know that I have many more memorials that the superiors have never even read."
Wei Shu raised his head and looked at him.
Yan Shang said, "I am also very frustrated and helpless. I often wonder what I am doing as an official. I am now a seventh-rank official, and I am busy in the Ministry of Revenue all day long... To be honest, I think the Ministry of Revenue will not be affected at all if I am not there. Because many officials are busy with tedious and useless official duties all day long! So this time I took the disaster relief trip to Shuzhong without hesitation. Because I don't like my current job, I want to do something really useful.
"Just like you, Juyuan. When you go on diplomatic missions, it's really useful. When you're busy fighting in the officialdom, it always seems boring.
"All heroes in the world started from a period like you and me. Who is born a hero? Who is born with ambition?
"You don't know whether what you did is right or not, and whether it will affect your career. I want to give you a piece of advice - just do good things, don't worry about the future. When the river is narrow and the water is turbulent, people are anxious to save their lives."
The confused look in Wei Shu's eyes gradually settled down.
He stared at Yan Shang blankly and repeated, "Just do good things and don't worry about the future."
Yan Shang said: "I shouldn't have said this. Because in this officialdom, many people seek promotion and wealth. I just think Juyuan shouldn't be like this... Many things in this world will not have good results, and will not have any benefits. Maybe when you return from your mission, your official career will still not be open; maybe my trip to Shu will offend many people... However, there are always some things in this world that someone should do.
“It may be hard, and it may not be beneficial, but it is right, and it is correct. So someone should do it.”
Wei Shu looked at him and suddenly laughed.
He sat up straight and poured himself a toast: "Yes, that makes sense. I am doing the right thing, why should I hesitate, why should I be swayed by the attitude of the Wei family? I am right, even if the ending is not good... but as long as it is right, I should do it.
"Just do good things and don't worry about the future! Second Brother Yan, I respect you!
"I hope you and I will keep these words in mind and never forget our original intentions!"
In the misty rain, there were few pedestrians. Two young men were drinking in a tavern. When they were drunk, they talked about heroes all over the world. When they were excited, they raised their chopsticks and sang. After that, they went home.
-----
At the end of May, Wei Shu left Chang'an on a diplomatic mission to various countries.
At the same time, Yan Shang left Chang'an and set out for Shu to provide disaster relief.
At the end of June, Mu Wanyao returned from Jinling.
On the first day after returning, Mu Wanyao was eager to see Yan Shang before she even went into the palace to report her safety to the emperor.
She did not see Yan Shang, but only received a very long letter left in the mansion opposite. Yan Shang said goodbye to her and explained that he was going to provide disaster relief.
Holding the letter paper, Mu Wan was dazed.
What about her style of speaking?
Where is her husband?
Where is her husband who was waiting for her to come back in Chang'an?
How come it's gone now?
