After Liang Shuyi left, Tang Chen, feeling somewhat guilty, ran up to Wang Yanzhou and hugged him, acting like a spoiled child: "Haha, well, why are you back at this hour?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "The camp is holding a celebration banquet tomorrow, so I came to tell you."
Tang Chen smiled foolishly and looked up at Wang Yanzhou. Seeing that he didn't seem angry, he asked tentatively, "Oh... Did you hear what we were saying just now?"
Wang Yanzhou quietly left a lily of the valley in Tang Chen's hair and said, "I almost understand what you mean."
Tang Chen was now concerned about Wang Yanzhou's opinion, not his touching her: "So what do you think?"
Wang Yanzhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, "It's impossible to let you go, so just give up on this idea."
Tang Chen said anxiously, "What about Su Zhirou and Liu Yong? We can't just watch them die in vain!"
After Wang Yanzhou released his hand, he added, "It's not just them. Everyone connected to Liuxiang Tavern and Qingliang Valley has been arrested. Also, your small courtyard in Qinghe County was burned down by Lin Feng."
Tang Chen was stunned for a moment, then immediately flew into a rage. Lin Feng seemed quite normal, and she had thought about finding an honest man like him in the future. But now he was arresting people and burning down houses. She could understand arresting people, but the house was just sitting there, uninhabited, so how could he have offended him? "Oh my god, he's crazy!"
Wang Yanzhou straightened his back and said seriously, "I told you at the beginning that Lin Feng is not a good person, but you still don't believe me."
Tang Chen retorted: "Back then? You were clearly jealous, okay?"
Wang Yanzhou said in shock: "Why, I thought you really didn't feel anything at all. Who said you wanted to be with me?"
From Wang Yanzhou's exaggerated expression, Tang Chen could already see the pettiness of these men. This happened so many years ago, how could he still remember it? "We are all mature adults now, so let's not worry about such old things!"
Wang Yanzhou said, let's not talk about the past and get back to the present: "Let's get back to the point. After this battle, the South Vietnamese will be quiet for a while. According to the secret report, after they lost their artillery, their next step should be to go to Qinghe County to discuss countermeasures with Xiahou Qing."
Wang Yanzhou's reminder reminded Tang Chen that he hadn't had time to tell Shu Yang about what he had said to him earlier. He didn't know if Shu Yang had contacted him again after leaving here. "Speaking of Xia Hou Qing, did Shu Yang tell you about what she saw when she came to Qingliang Valley earlier?"
Wang Yanzhou was so calm that Tang Chen briefly wondered if the person in the ice coffin was actually his biological mother, his own mother-in-law. "You're talking about the ice coffin, right? She did say that. I then urgently contacted Wang Ruo. If it's true, Xiahou Qing did indeed steal my mother's body from the secret cave."
A corpse, besides being there to pay respects and remember the deceased, what else could it possibly be used for? This South Vietnamese spies in Daliang were all incredibly eccentric: "The person is already dead, what does he need this body for?"
Wang Yanzhou also said: "Except for him, I'm afraid no one else knows."
From the tacit understanding they had developed over the years, although Tang Chen was still not good at reading people's minds or understanding political confrontation, she could still understand Wang Yanzhou's thoughts from his words: "So, what do you mean, are you going there yourself or will you ask someone else to handle this matter on your behalf?"
Wang Yanzhou replied, "I thought about asking Shaoqing to go and take a look."
Tang Chen nodded thoughtfully and said, "I trust Young Master Yan to handle things, so we'll talk about it later. By the way, would it be inappropriate for me to show up at tomorrow's celebration party?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and said, "What's inappropriate about it? It just depends on whether you want to go or not."
Tang Chen subconsciously adjusted his hair and said, "Um, can I say that I don't really want to go? I'm not saying this isn't worth celebrating, it's just that for now I don't really want to go to a place with too many people."
Seeing her plain clothes, Wang Yanzhou also understood that she might not be willing to go. He just wanted her to be among the crowd and have fun, so that she wouldn't have to constantly think about Li Xinzhai and Mo Yu. "... As long as you are happy, then, I will come back early tomorrow?"
"hey-hey!"
Seeing Tang Chen's silly and cheerful look, Wang Yanzhou felt that all the fatigue and pressure on him had disappeared in an instant. Yes, no matter who you are or what you do, the ultimate goal is to see such a carefree smile on the face of the person you love. "Look at you, you silly person! You are already a mother, but you are still like a child."
Tang Chen said softly, "There's nothing I can do. It's because you guys protected me so well that I haven't experienced any setbacks."
"I'll take it as a compliment from you. See if you like it or not." As he spoke, Wang Yanzhou picked up Tang Chen and carried him directly to the dressing table.
Looking in the bronze mirror, Tang Chen tilted his head slightly and saw the elegant lily of the valley in her hair. He had just thought it was a bit heavy on his head. "Oh, it's so beautiful! Where did you buy it?"
Wang Yanzhou smiled and replied, "Among the jewels my mother left behind were some pearls, glass flowers, and so on. It just so happened that the originals were accidentally broken, and I thought it would be a shame to throw them away, so I made a lily flower hairpin. Your husband has quite good taste."
"You did this?"
Wang Yanzhou said nothing, only smiling a little proudly. Tang Chen, admiring the beauty of the lily in the mirror, teased, "If your subordinates knew you were busy directing the affairs of state while also messing around with these little girly things, would they have any objections?"
Wang Yanzhou said he had considered this issue when he came up with the idea: "To avoid any objections from them, we can say this is a joint effort."
Tang Chen smiled and said, "Pfft, that's great. You can take a break and add some things to my makeup box. It's really killing two birds with one stone!"
Wang Yanzhou added, "It's more than just two birds. Look, if you're happy, I'm happy too. If I'm happy, their lives will be better too, right?"
Tang Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Haha, that makes sense, I'm speechless!"
Since last fall, the couple had rarely sat together like this, chatting and laughing. But before Wang Yanzhou could spend some time with Tang Chen, Tang Chen, who was still chatting and laughing with him, suddenly stood up and said, "Ah, your son is awake."
Wang Yanzhou turned his head to look at the cradle, which was quiet and motionless: "You're overthinking it. It's still asleep."
