Murong Yan smiled and said, "Yan'er isn't ill at all. She didn't come to dinner just now because she didn't want to see Princess Yuewu. Daddy, you know Yan'er's heart."
"Of course. Wanyan Yuewu was just a random gift from the Western Jin Emperor because of my cooperation with him. At the time, they only mentioned a marriage with the Marshal's Mansion, but didn't say it had to be with Qingyun. The wedding is in three months anyway, so at worst, Daddy can just take her in."
Murong Yan: "..."
Although she thought Murong Qingyu was someone who could bend and stretch to succeed, she had never expected him to be so flexible. He was truly incredibly resilient!
Wanyan Yuewu, who was her love rival just now, unexpectedly became her future stepmother in an instant. Life is full of twists and turns!
After receiving Murong Qingyu's greatest promise and Murong Qingyun's unprecedented silence, Murong Yan's mood instantly improved. She ordered, "Qinglian, go to my bedroom and get the black box."
"Yes!" Qinglian bowed slightly and immediately walked quickly into the house.
Just now, she was worried that with Princess Yuewu's arrival, the Marshal's Mansion's mistress would be replaced, and her life would also change. But after the overwhelming victory just now, Qinglian was certain that she had truly followed the right master this time.
Her young lady is no longer just a rich lady. Even the Grand Marshal listens to her and flatters her. For her sake, he even turned Princess Yuewu, his love rival, into her stepmother. This is enough to show the young lady's unshakable position in the Marshal's Mansion.
And she, the most caring personal maidservant to the young lady, would naturally become the chief maidservant of the Marshal's Mansion.
Qinglian quickly took out the black box that Murong Yan usually forbade her to touch and carefully handed it to Murong Yan.
"Yan'er, this is..."
Murong Yan patted the black box and said with a smile: "This is the most crucial thing. Dad, where is the finished red cannon? Let's go test its power."
"Okay, okay!" Murong Qingyu excitedly said "Okay" three times, and said: "The red cannon has been delivered to the city gate. Do you need me to send someone to bring it in?"
Murong Yan rolled her eyes: "Don't do that! The Emperor must not know that we have created this kind of heaven-defying weapon. To test the red cannon, we must go to a far enough away, deserted suburb.
Besides, don't we have two boxes of fireworks in stock? Take the fireworks with you so that we can conceal our whereabouts."
"Okay." After hearing Murong Yan's words, Murong Qingyu immediately ordered his servants to do it, and then, accompanied by Murong Yan, he and Murong Qingyun rode their horses at full speed towards the outside of the city.
After leaving the city, Murong Qingyu and his party drove forward in a modified carriage. The speed was not fast, but not slow either. After more than an hour, they finally stopped at the foot of a mountain range.
"Yan'er, this mountain range is huge, and there aren't many people inside, not even at night, even during the day. There are also few villagers. It's considered the largest and most secretive natural barrier within a hundred miles of the capital."
Murong Yan observed the terrain and said, "Okay, let's go here."
“Do we need to go up the mountain?”
"No need. There are trees on the mountain, which will hinder its range."
"Okay, then let's get it to the foot of the mountain over there."
"No."
