After saying that, he gently pinched her nose and laughed, "Didn't you hear him say he was willing? The future of the Yun family's sons is earned on the battlefield, not by the protection of their wives or maternal clans. Besides, Shi Wenxia saved his life, and they've had intimate relations along the way. If the Yun family refuses, they'll only be branded as heartless and ungrateful. Tianbai is the eldest son and the future heir of the Duke, so his maternal clan doesn't need to be too powerful."
"But he is, after all, the descendant of a traitorous general... I'm afraid he will be ridiculed in the army as well."
"Isn't this exactly what those jealous people want? Why do you think your husband would take command of the Liaozhou army?" Yun Yue reached out and pulled his wife into his arms. "I've been in Dingzhou for many years and have deep roots. Going to Liaozhou will kill two birds with one stone: it will weaken the military power of the original General of the Northern Garrison in Liaozhou and prevent me from becoming too powerful in Dingzhou. If Tianbai inherits the title and takes command of the army in the future, he will inevitably face the same situation. Having a wife who is criticized and doesn't win the hearts of the army will put the higher-ups at ease, won't it?"
Madam Su had no choice but to nod. "In that case, I will make the most of the next two days to finalize the marriage between the two of them."
“You are his legal mother, so these matters are naturally your responsibility.”
Madam Su sighed and said, "I always feel that Bai-ge'er is still too young. It is really inappropriate to arrange a marriage for him so early... If my sister finds out that I arranged such a marriage for her son in the afterlife, she will definitely blame me."
"He will naturally repay the life-saving grace himself, and he himself agreed to it. Zhou can't possibly blame you."
Outside, Xiao Youran skipped and hopped back to her yard in a very good mood.
I never thought I could get rid of those two people who caused me so much trouble so easily in this life.
Yes, she needs to write a letter to her brother, asking when she will come back to pay her respects to her new father!
Today, Mother's complexion is very rosy, which means her relationship with Father must be very sweet.
This new father is amazing. He is fair and selfless, even willing to sacrifice his own family for the greater good. And just like in the previous life, he will protect her in this life. She likes him very much!
As for Shi Wenxia, hehe, she became Yun Tianbai's legal wife. She wanted to see if the two of them could still be as loving and harmonious as in the previous life.
Thinking of them, Xiao Youran thought of Shi's mother and Shi Xing.
After thinking for a moment, she summoned the egg-shaped notebook. "Didn't you say you could hear sounds from a hundred meters away? Come here, in the northwest corner room, listen to what the Shi family mother and her two children and Yun Tianbai are saying?"
This little egg shook its chubby body, "Watch closely!"
Then, without him making any move, a sound reached Xiao Youran's ears a moment later.
It was indeed the voices of Shi Wenxia and Yun Tianbai.
The two discussed sending Shi Xing and his mother to a village for refuge.
Finally, Shi Wenxia hesitated and said, "I'd like to trouble my cousin to send someone to treat my mother's illness."
These words awakened Shi's mother, and she immediately changed her attitude, resolutely refusing to go to safety with her son. She said that she was already terminally ill and wouldn't live much longer anyway, and she couldn't be a burden to her children. She insisted on returning home to await the imperial decree, so as to cover for her son and claim that he had disappeared during the escape.
So Shi Wenxia and her brother embraced their mother and wept bitterly, filled with reluctance.
Xiao Youran sneered. Yun Tianbai was indeed reluctant to let Shi Xing die.
In his previous life, Shi Xing was Yun Tianbai's money bag.
All of her dowry was used for the renovation and repair of the Duke's mansion.
Later, Yun Tianbai spent a lot of money to follow the Third Prince, which once put the Duke in a difficult situation. Then Shi Xing came and gave him a lot of silver notes.
With such a money bag, Yun Tianbai probably wouldn't be willing to let him die, right?
...
Yun Tianbai's sudden engagement surprised the entire Yun family.
After learning that Miss Shi Wenxia was her eldest grandson's savior, Madam Yun didn't say much.
After arranging a marriage for their daughter, the Shi family mother and son left the Yun family.
Nobody knows where they went.
This incident caused quite a stir in the Yun family.
First, Li and Yu from the second and fourth wives couldn't understand why Su had agreed to such an ill-matched marriage for her stepson as soon as she entered the family.
Yun Manyan was even more dissatisfied.
Later, everyone learned that Shi Wenxia was Yun Tianbai's savior, and that the two had developed feelings for each other day and night on their journey back to the capital from Liaozhou.
Anyway, since it was Yun Tianbai's own choice, this life-saving grace can be considered a legitimate repayment.
Yun Manyin, from the third wife's family, disagreed.
My eldest sister's marriage was hastily arranged in Sanyang Village; she married a peasant. The future heir of the Duke's mansion actually married a cousin with no family background whatsoever.
This Duke's mansion is really going backwards as it gets older.
By February, all political affairs that had been put on hold due to the Lunar New Year gradually returned to normal.
At the Five Cities Garrison, Wang Wu, having received the Emperor's order, conducted a thorough interrogation and discovered that most of the five hundred soldiers in the Princess's residence came from the Prince Rong's residence.
Just when the emperor was worried about not being able to find any fault with Prince Rong, Wang Wu's interrogation record was submitted to the Ministry of Justice, and the Minister of Justice immediately knelt down.
The Emperor personally ordered a thorough investigation, and the Minister of Justice had no choice but to comply.
But how could Prince Rong sit idly by and wait for his doom? He secretly took action and sent another five hundred private soldiers hidden in his own residence out of the capital.
However, Wang Wu's men guarding outside the city caught them red-handed.
At the same time, upon receiving the news, Wen Yuanbai immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on the commander of the Capital Garrison.
Prince Rong never imagined that the five hundred soldiers his daughter had borrowed from her would become his death warrant.
This means that Prince Rong's mansion now has more than a thousand private soldiers on both sides, which is a serious overreach of regulations.
Seeing that the evidence of his guards' overreach was irrefutable, Prince Rong did not try to hide but surrendered and was imprisoned, thus employing a strategy of retreating to advance.
From the following day, countless memorials flew to the emperor's desk like snowflakes, all pleading for Prince Rong's life. They said that Prince Rong had led troops south and had taken in some old, weak, sick, and disabled soldiers in his residence, all to avoid discouraging the soldiers.
When Emperor Shunqing saw that most of the court officials were in favor of Prince Rong, he was so angry that he threw down all the memorials.
It's easy to imagine that it wouldn't be easy for those thousand soldiers to pretend to be sick or disabled while they were locked up in the prison.
I had no choice but to press it down and not speak.
On February 16th, the emperor's decree was issued, rewarding the soldiers who had rendered meritorious service in fighting the enemy in Liaozhou.
Zhao Huai's name was prominently displayed on the list.
Yun Manyan received the imperial honors directly from the palace at the Yun family home. Overjoyed, she burst into tears and immediately hugged Xiao Youran and spun her around several times.
Yun Tianbai, watching from the side, was quite puzzled. "Big sister, it's fine if you're happy, but why thank Su Youran?"
He still wasn't used to seeing Xiao Youran as his younger sister.
This woman, who was growing more and more beautiful, was clearly his future wife.
So I always call her by her full name.
