Zheng Ranran knelt solemnly on the ground, kowtowed three times to Zheng Qiumin, and said:
"Dad, I'm sorry. It was my daughter who didn't listen to you and mom and insisted on marrying him.
Now, I've been divorced and sent home, and my parents are embarrassed too."
Zheng Qiumin helped him up and said with a cold snort:
"Is shame more important or life more important?
Mom and Dad are not pedantic people. I'm happy that you can get out of that place!
Let outsiders say whatever they want!
Dad just regrets not getting the divorce papers."
After he said this, he changed the subject, lowered his voice, and asked:
"My daughter, are you serious about what you mentioned before?"
Zheng Ranran nodded, but did not explain much. She only said, "That's why my daughter is in a hurry to get away!"
Seeing this, Zheng Qiumin did not ask any further questions and said with a smile:
"No matter how the world changes, as long as my daughter is doing well, Dad will be happy!
Let's go, let's have a good meal at noon today!"
The news of Concubine Zheng being divorced soon spread throughout Prince Rui's mansion!
Even the Cuijing Pavilion, with its doors tightly closed, received the news.
When Si Jinyue heard this, her hands loosened and the embroidered dress fell to the ground.
She always felt that Zheng Ranran was very unusual today, as if...
It was as if he was deliberately provoking trouble to anger Qi Nanyan!
However, she just couldn't understand why Zheng Ranran did this?
It was three days later that Si Jinxing heard about this.
Lan Xiangan looked at his little niece sitting on a low stool and said:
“The daughter of Lord Zheng is also very lucky to be born in the Zheng family.
The Zheng family is similar to our Lan family, they like daughters more!
If she were from another family, let alone a slap from Prince Rui, even if he beat her to death, her family wouldn't dare to say anything!"
Si Jinxing nodded, this is true.
This dynasty was mostly patriarchal and viewed daughters as pawns for advancement.
She took her third uncle's arm and said:
"Uncle, if Qi Moli bullies me in the future, will you come to him and settle the score?"
Lan Xiangan looked at the little girl beside him with a surprised expression and said:
"He bullied you? How dare you ask that?"
After he finished speaking, he sighed and said:
"Back then, your mother ignored your grandparents' objections and insisted on marrying your father...and insisted on marrying Si Junshan.
It's our fault that we failed to protect her, and as a result, you lost your mother at such a young age.
Don't worry, Xing'er, if he dares to bully you in the future, Third Uncle will come to your house with a sword in hand to settle the score with him!"
Si Jinxing just asked casually, but she didn't expect that it would remind her third uncle of the past.
She rested her head on Lan Xiangan's shoulder and comforted him:
"Don't worry, Third Uncle. I'm a very open-minded person and I won't let myself be wronged!"
Lan Xiangan smiled when he heard this, reached out and stroked the girl's hair, then changed the subject and said:
"I don't know what the situation is like in Fencheng right now. The army didn't bring much food with them, so I'm afraid they're all starving now!
Our team will arrive in three days at the earliest!"
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing straightened up and leaned close to Lan Xiangan's ear and said:
"Don't worry, uncle. They won't go hungry!"
Lan Xiangan widened his eyes and asked in a puzzled voice:
"You mean... you sent some secretly?"
Si Jinxing nodded and said:
“As early as when Qi Moli first received the news about Han Lan, I asked Pei Qingzhu to collect some food from the surrounding areas of Wuzhou City.
Now, it’s time to send it to Fencheng.”
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiang'an slammed the table and said happily, "My dear girl, now that we have this, the soldiers can charge into battle without any worries!"
He thought for a moment and asked, "How much grain? Where did you get so much silver?"
It's good that you have the heart to serve the country, but don't spend all your money!
The court will find a solution to the issue of military rations!"
Seeing this, Si Jinxing just smiled and said, "Not much, just 50,000 stones.
When I collected grain, Wuzhou City had not yet received news of the war, so the price of grain was much lower."
Lan Xiangan heard this, but secretly thought that he had to earn a reputation as a grain donor for his little niece in the future!
It’s not too much for him to be a hero and get a good reputation!
As Si Jinxing said, 50,000 shi of grain had already passed Baiguan County, the southernmost part of Fencheng!
The gatekeepers had already received orders. When they saw dozens of horse-drawn carts carrying grain, they immediately ordered people to escort them to Jiayu County in the north!
Qi Moli led an army of 80,000, which was invincible. With the force of thunder, he recaptured the three cities in three days!
News of victory continued to spread back to Jiayu County!
For a moment, tens of thousands of people in the city cheered!
Most of them came here from captured cities!
Hearing that the Longyin army had recaptured their homeland, they were ecstatic!
Qi Moli, wearing armor, leaned on the railing and looked out, watching the enemy army retreat in the dust and desolate sky!
He summoned his inner strength and shouted loudly:
"My Longyin soldiers are ready to fight and fight, just to take revenge today!
The Hanlan bandits have wicked ambitions. Our army should use all our remaining courage to pursue the desperate enemy, annihilate them in one fell swoop, and recapture the five cities on the Fen River!"
His voice, as powerful as a rainbow, reached the ears of all the soldiers in the city!
The soldiers of the three armies raised their arms and shouted:
"Let's raise our national prestige today!"
"Let's raise our national prestige today!"
"Let's raise our national prestige today!"
Everyone dispersed and found a place to clean and repair their weapons!
The common people in Jiayu County had already fled to Baiguan County.
