When An You saw that Mingzhu wasn’t feeling well and was throwing up, he reached out to pat her back, but the closer he got, the harder Mingzhu’s retched. She hastily lifted her hand to stop An You from getting any closer. “Stay away, I feel like throwing up.”


  An You’s facial color stiffened and he stopped moving forward, but his heart was clutching in pain. He was hurt by Mingzhu’s attitude.

  When Mingzhu saw An You’s disbelieving expression, after she finished throwing up, she said, “There’s a medicine smell around you. The smell of it makes me feel nauseous.”


  An You pressed his lips together and it was a few moments before he finally said, “Go bathe first.” After saying that, he stiffly turned around and left.

  Mingzhu watched as An You walked away desolately and parted her lips, but in the end, she didn’t call out to him.

  Ning Shu didn’t know about this happening between An You and Mingzhu. She was currently going with the old madame and taking An Yu to see his future wife.

  Ning Shu found this situation seriously strange. She herself had never gotten married before, but she was already looking for a daughter-in-law.

  An You was very satisfied with his future wife. She was a gentle and beautiful girl that looked very sensible.

  Ning Shu was also very satisfied, because the current An You was no longer infatuated with Mingzhu.

  An Yu decided to return to the Profit Province military after getting married. The old madame agreed with this. She could sense that her health wasn’t too good and would be able to die without regrets if she could see a great-grandson.

  The group returned to the general’s residence and saw that Mingzhu was waiting at the door. Mingzhu’s gaze swept across An Yu’s face, then she asked Ning Shu, “Madame, did you guys head out today for some business?”


  Ning Shu said with a smile, “We went to see An Yu’s fiancée today. An Yu will be getting married very soon.”


  “That’s right, I’ll soon have a beautiful sister-in-law!” An Lingyun smiled happily, almost purposefully doing it for Mingzhu to see. In the past, she had thought of Mingzhu as her future sister-in-law. She had never imagined that Mingzhu would be as shameless as to like her father and do so many absurd things.

  Now, whenever she attended gatherings, she would hear other people laugh at the general’s residence. Due to Mingzhu, they even looked at her weirdly.

  When Mingzhu heard this news, she stumbled backwards slightly in shock, then forced a smile and said, “Congratulations.”


  “Thank you, Aunt,” replied An Yu politely.

  Mingzhu then turned and left. The old madame leaned against her crutch and spat, “Mannerless thing.”


  Ning Shu lifted her brows. She felt like Mingzhu’s current state was a little off. Could it be that all pregnant women became this weird?

  Because both sides were rather satisfied with each other, An Yu and Li Nianlei’s marriage was quickly approved.

  The family got together and chose an auspicious date based on the ecliptic calendar, then prepared to formally propose marriage. An You was a little unhappy because his family never told him that his son was getting married. They only notified him once they finished deciding everything.

  Mingzhu sat at the side without saying anything and glanced over at An Yu from time to time. His tan skin and muscular body gave him an imposing aura and the scar on his face added a sense of bravery to his charm. His current imposing aura was even stronger than his father’s.

  Mingzhu didn’t know if it was her misperception, but the current An You seemed a little dispirited. That feeling made Mingzhu feel like An You wasn’t her god, not her lord, not her master.

  An You felt like the entire family was ignoring him. Since his dignity as the head of the family was challenged, he said provokingly, “This Li Nianlei lost her mother early and even has a younger brother to take care of. Women who lost a relative can’t be married.”


  Ning Shu almost burst out laughing. The fudge? You had sexual intercourse with a woman who was still in the mourning period for her parents, yet you still had the face to say this about others?

  “Father, I’m very satisfied with this Li Nianlei. She’s a sensible woman who knows how to take care of others and she’s been looking after her younger brother all these years. Her brother will soon be taking the imperial exams. She’s an intelligent and capable woman.”


  Mingzhu’s facial color became unreadably dim.
