The Emperor made an imperial decree, ordering Prince Yan and the Champion Marquis to withdraw their troops from the front and
return to court. They were rewarded for their achievents as the Emperor granted them silver, silk, and many other treasures. The
soldiers were all rewarded based on their contributions as well.
Due to this, the Tongzhou Han people who have been oppressed for centuries by Qidan people finally recovered their freedom.
In front of the Liao countrys army, the Han army who have always been at a disadvantage finally got to boast about their
achievents after seizing back their territory.
The army had won and the Emperor personally led the officials out of the city to welco the troops back.
The people in the capital were cheering and dancing, preparing fresh flowers, incense burning table, and wine along the way to
welco the armys arrival.
Zhou Xiaoxiao returned to the Marquis residence to bathe in a fragrant hot spring. She laid there and enjoyed being served by a
group of maids.
While massaging Zhou Xiaoxiaos shoulders, Juanzi cried and complained, Lady, after this journey, you beca even more tan and
skinnier. There is also a wound here. If this happens next ti, you have to bring Juanzi along, otherwise I wont let you go.
Ill take you, take you. Our Juanzi is such a kind and caring woman and I regretted not bringing you along already.
Zhou Xiaoxiao was saying this half-heartedly to Juanzi as she was happily thinking of what Yu Xingzhi had said in her ears before
entering the palace to et the Emperor.
Lady, please go back to the residence and wait for this husband. Since were back in the capital, our three-point covenant wont exist
anymore. TonightI will definitely make sure Lady enjoys herself to the full extent.
Zhou Xiaoxiao couldnt help but roll in bed.
Hes gotten bad. Hes gotten worse and badder.
As she was fooling around, she suddenly heard a servant report Guo Jingyans arrival.
It was getting late. Why would sister-in-law be coming over?
Zhou Xiaoxiao was confused and she stood up, arranging her clothes and walking over to greet her.
Guo Jingyan was walking around in the partial hall, with a frightened and pale face.
The mont she saw Zhou Xiaoxiao, she walked over and tremblingly held her hands.
Zhou Xiaoxiaos impression of Guo Jingyan was that she was a brave and forceful woman.
What exactly happened that made her this terrified? Zhou Xiaoxiao was confused and she hurriedly asked, Sister-in-law, dont worry.
Whats the matter?
What should we do? Sister-in-law, what should we do? Guo Jingyans hands were cold and she tightly clutched onto Zhou
Xiaoxiaos hands. Yuer father found out about Yuer and he said that he will drown the Yuer and the guy. Right now, they were locked
in the cylindrical bamboo and transported towards Henan river.
That matter has been over for a while, so how did he find out?
Zhou Xiaoxiao changed into a casual outfit and inquired this while walking out the door.
After that event, Yuer beca more mature. She listened to her mothers idea and stayed at ho, waiting to be married off. Last
night, she and the young master of Official Wangs family had gotten along and chatted with one another. Who knew that the lowly
bastard was unwilling to accept his fate and noisily blurted out that he and the young miss of Gongsun Residence had a love affair.
He even took the portrait of Yuer, the one you draw of her, and allowed those lowlifes to admire her appearance. After Official Wangs
family found out, they ca over to break off the engagent. When Yuers father found out, he was extrely infuriated.
Aunt never dismissed that scum? Why would she allow him to stay in the capital?
Sigh, I just found out as well. Aunt is very kind and rciful, only ordering the servants to give him a beating and then she dismissed
him from the residence. Yet, this made him angry and he waited for a chance to take revenge on Yueer. Even though Aunt is from a
distinguished intellectual family, she didnt know about the affairs of life.
Zhou Xiaoxiao rolled on the horse and pulled on the reins, saying to Guo Jingyan, Ill hurry to Henan river first, in case sothing
happens. Sister-in-law, wait for Xingzhi to return and then tell him to co over as well.
Right now, on the pitch-black surface of the water, a small boat was parked on the Henan river.
There was a woman and made trapped in two cages made from wickerwork.
The man sobbed and begged for rcy while the woman wore white clothes and her hair was scattered on her shoulder. Her jadewhite fingers clutched the dirty bamboo cage and she silently sat within it.
