Don't disturb me, I won't be a concubine

On the day when Lu Siheng and Du Manting led the army to Xizhou, Dong Jiafu, Cui Qiyan and Dong Jialin came together to see them off.

They arrived at the pavilion outside the city early and waited.

"Here they come--" Dong Jialin said loudly, pointing at the team coming out of the city gate.

Lu Siheng was walking in front on a horse. When he got closer and saw that it was them, he raised his hand to ask the team to stop and jumped off his horse.

"Why are you here?"

Before the three of them could answer, Du Manting came over in a military uniform, looking very heroic and said, "You are here to see me off."

She stood next to Lu Siheng and looked at Cui Qiyan and Dong Jialin on the left and right sides of Dong Jiafu. "I didn't expect you two to come too."

Dong Jialin was a little speechless, "Miss Du, you are overthinking. I am here to see Brother Lu off."

Du Manting curled her lips, "Who cares."

Then she smiled and said to Dong Jiafu, "Remember what you promised me. I am waiting to read the script you wrote. Don't be lazy and don't make me wait too long."

"Okay," Dong Jiafu nodded with a smile, "You must also protect yourself. When you become a general, I will write a book specifically for you."

"You said it, and you can't deny it when the time comes."

"So many people are listening, I will definitely do what I say."

Du Manting smiled happily, "Then I will work harder to achieve my wish."

On the other side, Dong Jialin was also talking to Lu Siheng, "Brother Lu, the battlefield is dangerous, you must take care of yourself."

Lu Siheng stretched out his long arm and patted his shoulder, "I will. I am sorry that I can't attend your wedding. I wish you and your sister-in-law a happy marriage in advance."

"Thank you, Brother Lu. My restaurant will open in two days. I was thinking of inviting you for a drink." Dong Jialin could not hide his regret.

"No problem, when I come back from Xizhou, we'll go to your place for a drink. Your business is booming, do well, I'm optimistic about you."

"Yes," Dong Jialin nodded heavily, "When Brother Lu returns to Beijing, I will definitely set up a banquet to welcome you."

Lu Siheng retracted his hand and turned his gaze to Cui Qiyan, "Prince Cui didn't come here specially to see me off, did he?"

"Of course, I'm here to accompany my fiancée." When he mentioned the word "fiancée", Cui Qiyan's speech speed slowed down significantly.

Lu Siheng laughed, "Okay, you don't have to emphasize your identity. She is yours now, you must cherish her. If I find out that you let her down, as her friend, I will rush back and beat you up even if I am in Xizhou."

"Don't worry, Lord Lu, I won't give you this opportunity." After saying that, Cui Qiyan said, "I hope you can become the new God of War of Great Yin like Lord Lu."

“That’s what I want to do, too.”

Just as they were talking, a carriage drove up.

The carriage stopped and Qin Fangsui came out. When she saw Dong Jiafu and the other three, her body stiffened slightly.

Several people stopped and looked at her.

"I'm here to see Manting off. I hope I didn't disturb you."

Du Manting said something to Dong Jiafu and went to Qin Fangsui, "I thought you wouldn't come. What I said that day was too harsh..."

Qin Fangsui shook her head. "No, I know you really said those words for my own good. I have thought a lot these past few days, and looking back, I found that I was indeed extremely wrong. Manting, you are right. I can't rely on others. I will rely on myself to support my own world in the future."

"Manting, are you still willing to treat me as your best friend?"

Du Manting walked up to her and gave her a hug, "You will always be my best friend."

Hearing her words, Qin Fangsui couldn't stop crying.

After the two separated, Qin Fangsui wiped her tears and smiled, "Look at me, I am so useless."

"By the way, congratulations on getting your wish and serving in the army. I always advised you before that the court would not let women lead the army, but I didn't expect you to do it. Fortunately, you didn't listen to me. Manting, I'm happy for you, but you have to take care of yourself. The swords on the battlefield are blind, you must be careful and don't be greedy for merit and rush forward."

"Okay, I know everything. Don't worry. My life has just begun. I don't want to die." Du Manting raised her eyebrows.

Qin Fangsui took out something from her body and said, "This is the amulet I asked for you at the temple. It will bless you to be safe and sound."

Du Manting took it with great emotion and said, "I will definitely carry it with me every day."

After putting away the amulet, she looked back and saw Dong Jiafu talking to Lu Siheng. She turned around and said, "Fangsui, Miss Dong told me in person that as long as you don't do anything against them in the future, she and her brother won't make things difficult for you. Don't do stupid things in the future. If you encounter any difficulties, you can go to my grandmother and aunt, they will help you."

Qin Fangsui nodded with red eyes, "Manting, you are the only one who is willing to think so much about me now. Don't worry, I will not force things that do not belong to me."

"It's great that you can figure it out. It's getting late, we should continue on our way." Du Manting waved and turned back.

Dong Jiafu saw her and continued to say to Lu Siheng: "After sending you a thousand miles away, we must part ways. The sky is high and the birds fly freely. I wish you a safe journey."

"Thank you very much. I didn't expect to see you again before I leave. I have something to ask of you," Lu Siheng suddenly thought of, "Aunt Ruyi is in the Marquis' Mansion. She doesn't know anyone here. If you are free, can you go and talk to her?"

"Of course." Dong Jiafu replied.

Lu Siheng glanced at the three of them, clasped his fists and said, "See you later."

"Brother Lu, have a safe trip--" Dong Jialin shouted to Lu Siheng who was riding on a horse.

Du Manting said to Dong Jiafu, "Before you leave, remember to send me the storybook."

"I can't forget it." Dong Jiafu chuckled.

Several people watched them lead the army away in a mighty manner.

When Dong Jiafu turned around, she unexpectedly met Qin Fangsui's eyes.

Qin Fangsui quickly looked away and took the hand of her maid Xianglan to get into the carriage.

"Afu, what are you looking at her for?" Dong Jialin couldn't help but frown. "Let's go back too."

The three of them got on the carriage, and Dong Jialin specifically ordered Mao Feng to drive the carriage faster to overtake Qin Fangsui's carriage in front.

Dong Jiafu looked at his childish behavior and couldn't help but shake her head. It seemed that her second brother had no place to vent his anger from before.

Xianglan watched their carriage pass by in the carriage, lowered the curtain and said to Qin Fangsui: "Why don't you go and say hello to the prince?"

That night, the prince of Duke Dingguo came to see the girl, and the girl ran out happily, but soon came back as if she had lost her soul. She was far away and didn't hear what the two said. When she asked the girl, she refused to say anything.

"Why should I bother to be disliked?" Qin Fangsui said solemnly, "If you meet Prince Yan in the future, don't approach him. I have hurt the old lady's heart, and I don't know when I can ask for her forgiveness. I don't want to think about other things. We can only rely on ourselves in the future."

Xianglan nodded distressedly, "I'll remember that."
