Marry a powerful minister and remain a widow?I’m done with the book-wearing female role!

The stars are twinkling, and the night wind is not dry.

After the sky darkened, lights were lit everywhere in the General Protector's Mansion, and red lanterns were hung on the eaves, casting a warm halo.

After the guests dispersed, Mo Qianyu took advantage of the wine and entered the wedding room.

Inside the room, it was quiet.

"Shen Zhilan, come and help your husband wash and change clothes!"

Mo Qianyu cleared his throat to hide the tension in his heart.

For a long while, no one answered.

Mo Qianyu lifted the bed curtain and saw Shen Zhilan lying on the bed, her face flushed and sleeping soundly.

"It doesn't mean that you will wake up when you turn on the lamp..."

Mo Qianyu was sure that the bride was Shen Zhilan, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately it wasn't Wei Jing, and fortunately she was replaced in time.

This time, I really owed Jiang Yuzhu a huge favor.

Mo Qianyu leaned over and rubbed Shen Zhilan's delicate cheeks with his rough hands. He felt that it was not enough, so he squeezed again.

It's white and tender, and if it has a little more meat, it's like a big steamed bun with soft white noodles.

Seeing the beauty frowning in her sleep, Mo Qianyu suddenly felt happy.

He is a dignified, seven-foot-tall man. Why should he be nervous about the flowers and candles in the bridal chamber? Shen Zhilan should be nervous.

After thinking about it, Mo Qianyu half-leaned on the small couch and half-squinted his eyes in comfort.

"Sir, the Emperor is calling urgently!"

The servant stood in front of the wedding room door and said in a panic.

Mo Qianyu stood up like a carp and almost floated to the door: "What did you say?"

"Sir, something unexpected happened in the north. Your Majesty summoned you urgently. I have prepared your horse and are waiting for you to enter the palace together in the front yard!"

The servant spoke clearly and tried his best to maintain his composure, but his eyes revealed panic.

Mo Qianyu only felt a buzz in his head. He didn't even have time to change into his wedding clothes and hurried out.

Before leaving, Mo Qianyu said to Xia'er: "I probably won't be able to come back tonight, so take good care of your lady!"

Soon, the wedding room returned to its previous quiet state.

In the wedding room, Shen Zhilan sat up, stared at the wedding candle in the room, and fell into deep thought.

Xia'er brought a bowl of Yangchun noodles and almost cried with joy when she saw that her young lady had woken up: "It's all my fault that I'm so stupid in Chun that I didn't know that you were replaced by Wei Jing..."

When Xia'er learned that the Mo family was making things difficult because they didn't want Wei Jing to come in, the resentment in her heart had long since dissipated, leaving only self-blame. If only she had been smarter.

"Xia'er, go pack a package for a long trip. Just pack a few sets of comfortable clothes that can be easily changed."

Shen Zhilan sat up straight and sighed quietly. She had to go back to Xie's Mansion first.

Xia'er was stunned and didn't know why: "Miss, are you trying to escape from the marriage?"

If the young lady had such an idea, Xia'er would have to give her some advice. Although Mo Qianyu was a military commander, he was considerate of details. If he married someone else, it might not be better than the Mo family.

Shen Zhilan stood up and walked around the room a few times to stretch her muscles. She looked at Xia'er and said, "It's not about escaping from marriage, it's about following the Mo family to the North."

Xia'er hesitated for a moment, thinking of her young lady's ability to "pinch and calculate", as if she had seen through the secret, she trotted out.

In the room, Shen Zhilan fell into deep thought again.

In fact, she was already awake before Mo Qianyu returned to the room. She didn't know how to face the two of them alone, so she simply pretended to be asleep.

Mo Qianyu was called into the palace, and Shen Zhilan suddenly recalled something.

In her previous life, she was married to a scumbag. She was pregnant at this time and had a miscarriage on the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, Shen Zhilan lost her son and was extremely sad.

When she was in confinement, Shen Zhilan once heard relatives from the Shen family who came to visit her mention that there was a big change in the Northland, and the national protector general Mo Changchuan was assassinated.

The relative's family maintains a caravan and carries goods from the north to the south of the Yangtze River. The news is very true.

In other words, father-in-law Mo Changchuan is not going to die soon.

Shen Zhilan gritted her teeth. She suspected that this was just the beginning. The fire that wiped out the clan a few years later was inseparable from Mo Changchuan's death!

To change the fate of the Mo family, Shen Zhilan must follow Mo Qianyu to the North.

Just as Shen Zhilan made her plans, Mrs. Mo came with Mo Yan.

The mother and daughter looked solemn, both having a bad premonition.

Mrs. Mo forced a smile and said: "Zhilan, there were a lot of troubles today, and you were frightened for nothing. There will be flowers and candles in the bridal chamber tonight, Qianyu and him..."

The emperor called urgently at night, and something big was bound to happen.

It had happened twice before, and without exception I left Beijing at dawn.

Shen Zhilan stepped forward and held Mrs. Mo's hand and said, "Mom, my daughter-in-law has a request and wants to return to Xie's Mansion immediately."

The bride had three days to return home after getting married, and Shen Zhilan was afraid that she would not be able to wait for three days. Although it was against the rules, she still wanted to try to persuade Mrs. Mo.

Before Shen Zhilan could find a reason to persuade, Mrs. Mo glanced at her appreciatively, and suddenly smiled: "I was worried that you were weak before, but my mother misunderstood you. A weak woman cannot be the wife of the Mo family."

Both Mrs. Mo and Mo Yan were not good at martial arts, but they had seen cruelty and blood on the battlefield, as well as strong winds and waves.

It is the fate of the Mo family to fight on the battlefield and protect the people in the border towns.

There will never be peace in the North unless we get rid of the powerful barbarians.

While talking, Xia'er had already packed her clothes.

Mrs. Mo was more experienced and gave some advice: "Once you leave Beijing on the road, most of the time you take small roads and sleep in the wilderness. You only bring a change of clothes and travel lightly, but it is not enough."

When a woman goes out and occasionally suffers from headaches and fever, pills are indispensable, as well as menstrual belts, brown sugar ginger tea and other items.

"Zhilan, I've wronged you."

Mrs. Mo felt guilty, and her tone couldn't help but become softer.

Shen Zhilan tilted her head and looked seriously: "Mom, when my daughter-in-law marries Qian Yu, as the Mo family's daughter-in-law, she must put the Mo family first."

Tomorrow morning, the emperor's decree to leave Beijing comes, and it will be too late to prepare.

Shen Zhilan's only concern, besides her aunt Shen, was Jiang Yuzhu.

Mo Yan grabbed Shen Zhilan's sleeve and begged: "Sister-in-law, I also want to go to Xie's Mansion with you."

After leaving Beijing this time, we may not see each other for several years, or we may never see each other again.

Mo Yan felt melancholy and a little sad.

Shen Zhilan's eyes were flowing, and she said with a comforting smile: "Yan'er, you are reluctant to let go of your cousin, could it be because of the grilled fish? How about you call me sister-in-law, and I can give you my cousin's secret recipe?"

Mo Yan was struck in her mind and said in embarrassment: "Even if you learn it, your craftsmanship will not be as good as Sister Yuzhu!"

The aunt and sister-in-law quarreled, and the atmosphere relaxed.

In Xie's house, the lights are shining brightly.

During the day, guests were entertained, so that dinner in the mansion was delayed for an hour.

Jiang Yuzhu was delivering charcoal to the stove when she saw Liang An running back and forth to report, gasping: "Madam, I was summoned by the emperor. In addition, there are General Mo, Major General Mo and other generals. I heard that Beidi The war is on again!”

"Another war?"

Jiang Yuzhu put down the charcoal and couldn't help but look a little surprised.

"The people in the border town were bartering with the barbarians some time ago. The barbarians couldn't sit still so quickly?"

Jiang Yuzhu didn't know much about the situation in the North, but she knew the dominant position of the Mo family.

Once the war begins, Princess Yutan and the generals of the Mo family will leave Beijing and return to the north.

The evening breeze blew, and the climbing flowers on the wall swayed in the wind, exuding a rich fragrance.

Jiang Yuzhu's thoughts gradually slowed down, and just as she was about to speak, Hongli ran over with her skirt in hand and said, "Madam, the second young master is here!"
