Chapter 191



As if he knew what she was thinking, Lu Ziyan coughed lightly and said cautiously, "I really was unconscious that time. I definitely didn't mean to stop you from going in."

Before they got married, she could come and go in his study as she pleased, and he never took the Lu family's rules seriously.

...She didn't even think about it. If he didn't trust her wholeheartedly, why would he let her enter and leave the heavily guarded study before they got married?

She treats her territory as hers, so can anyone enter?

Thinking of this, Lu Ziyan felt a little aggrieved, but more of it was heartache.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the girl crying silently that day, so how could he not feel heartbroken.

Xie Wan Ning didn't say anything.

The incident in the study room was indeed a heavy blow to her and almost destroyed all her expectations of him.

But she couldn't say any words of resentment.

All the grievances she can express are in the expectation that the other party will explain to her, comfort her, and coax her.

But now, she could no longer reveal her scars to him and tell him how she felt that day.

The two were silent for a while. Apart from the two soldiers standing at the gate, there was no one else in the yard.

Lu Ziyan said, "I asked Ming Jian to find a group of maids for you. I'll ask him to bring them to you for your inspection. Choose two smart ones to serve you personally."

How can a pampered girl survive without someone to order her around?

There are also clothes, jewelry, cosmetics and other things that girls need, which must all be arranged properly.

She was abducted and had nothing on her, not even a hairpin. She was in such a hurry to get back that she had no time to buy anything.

Fortunately, although it is a border, Northern Xinjiang is a city after all, and it has everything it needs.

Just give an order and someone will get it done.

Lu Ziyan reached out and patted her little head, asking, "Do you think the conditions are too harsh?"

The sandstorms swept across the north, especially in winter. The cold wind felt like a knife cutting people's faces. Xie Wan Ning was wearing a fox fur coat, a big hat, and a furry collar that covered half of her face tightly. Upon hearing this, she shook her head and said, "It's not bitter. I think it's quite interesting."

Although the food, clothing and daily necessities are not as exquisite as those in the capital, it seems to be really free here.

In her past and present lives, "freedom" has always been a very unfamiliar word to her.

She grew up in a marquis's mansion and married into a wealthy family. She had a horde of servants with her when she went out, and lived a life of luxury, but she could not be called free.

Even though she was truly loved by her father and brothers, and even though the customs of the Khan's people were relatively open.

If the previous dynasty was changed...

Xie Wan Ning's eyebrows curved, "Then can I go out for a walk?"

Lu Ziyan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Of course, remember to bring your guards."

He has no habit of keeping useless people under his command. Ming Feng and Ming Jian are of course very brave, and the other deputy generals are also extremely brave. Even if they are just ordinary personal soldiers, they can fight ten people at once.

After getting his consent and confirming that this man had no intention of placing her under house arrest, Xie Wan Ning smiled more sincerely and waved her hand at him, saying, "You are the commander-in-chief of an army after all. You must have a lot of military affairs waiting to be dealt with after leaving for such a long time. You don't have to accompany me."

She heard that he had ordered an attack on the Jin Dynasty a few days ago, changing the passive defensive posture of recent years to an active attack.

As a result, when the war broke out, he ran away to Yuezhou, leaving Ming Jian here to take charge. Now that he is back, how can he not be anxious and stay by her side to talk about these trivial matters.

Lu Ziyan understood her concern for the country and the people, and smiled when he heard her words: "Don't worry, I know what I am doing. If the news of Jin Wuji's death spreads, the Jin army will be in a panic. There is no need to rush to attack them now, or they will start to mess up. I have to avenge you first. There are many corrupt officials in the Khan's army, so we need to sort them out first before we talk about other things."

He really learned the lesson from his previous life. He was no longer frugal with words. He wanted to tell her all his plans at once, for fear that they would have another misunderstanding.

Xie Wan Ning listened quietly.

The Jin people suffered countless defeats and retreated back to their own territory. This time even the crown prince was killed by the Khan. This battle was the greatest victory ever seen in a hundred years.

Since he doesn't plan to continue the pursuit, does that mean he's going back to Beijing?

She asked curiously, "Are you planning to return to Beijing?"

Lu Ziyan nodded, "Wait until the beginning of spring after the New Year."

Otherwise, as soon as he left, the Jin people, who were short of food and clothing during the winter, might come again to plunder.

"We'll celebrate in the north this year," he went to hold her hand and said softly, "How about we hurry up and hold our wedding before the New Year?"

These days, he was thinking about having a wedding, even if there were not many guests and it was not grand, but he could tell everyone in the world that she was his wife.

"I know the conditions here are simple and I feel a little sorry for you," he said, "When I return to the capital next year, I will go through the three matchmaking and six engagement ceremonies and welcome you as the Crown Princess."

And he will not let go any of those who dare to join forces with Jin Wuji to attack her. If the emperor is sensible, he will be the crown prince for the time being.

If you don't know what's going on...

He doesn't mind forcing his biological father to abdicate once more.

Xie Wan Ning had no idea that he was even plotting to usurp the throne. She was still thinking about the wedding, and there was a hesitant look on her face. When Lu Ziyan saw this, his heart sank, "Wan Wan wants to go back on her word again?"

Didn’t you agree to marry him?

“…That’s not the case.”

The man's momentum of pressing forward step by step really makes him look like a general who never loses a battle!

Xie Wan Ning secretly complained to herself, "You have to let me see the divorce letter before I decide whether to marry you, right?"
