Ning Shu told the Chen parents about what happened after she left home. Once Father Chen learned that Chen Li was a general, his originally thin and aged face instantly became filled with a healthy flush. "Then, is your brother married? He must have a child. He has to carry on our ancestral line…”
Ning Shu: …
While listening to Ning Shu, Lady Li kept her hands together, chanting Bodhisattva blessings the whole time.

  Ning Shu’s escort troop was still at the entrance of the village. She took out some silver and gave them as rewards. Lady Li said that she would make delicious food to receive the guests.

  Father Chen offered incense to his ancestors. He was thrilled. Ning Shu even saw Father Chen pinch his own thigh. When he felt the pain, he laughed again and wandered out the door. In less than half a day, everyone in the whole village knew about the affair.

  There were some villagers who had followed Chen Li. They also obtained great recognition and glory. Ning Shu delivered some letters to the families of her soldiers.

  For a time, the whole village was bustling.

  Ning Shu asked Lady Li about Bai Yiqiao.

  When Bai Yiqiao was brought up, Lady Li's expression turned indifferent. "It seems that after separating from Fang Yong, she got together with the boss of Lucky Restaurant."

  Ning Shu raised her eyebrows. So, she really was with Wen Yu.

  "The two got married?" asked Ning Shu.

  "I’m not sure about that." Lady Li said, "Maybe Bai Yiqiao wasn’t fated to have such a life. Now, Fang Yong has also risen above the masses, and his rank is even higher than your brother’s."

  Ning Shu nodded.

  "She just isn’t fated," said Lady Li.

  Ning Shu smiled. Fang Yong had taken advantage of the troubled times to rise in status, but that rank and wealth had nothing to do with Bai Yiqiao. Before leaving, he wrote a divorce slip and left Bai Yiqiao.

  Bai Yiqiao had always wanted to trample Chen Ermei into the mud. Yet, Chen Ermei was a general now and was even awarded a plaque of amnesty. She was honored with glory and wealth.

  She didn’t know what Bai Yiqiao had become.

  Bai Yiqiao was shocked when she found out that Chen Ermei was the one sitting in the horse-drawn brocaded sedan.

  The Chen family and Fang family's affairs made the whole town go crazy. Bai Yiqiao did not expect that the Chen family in this life would be even better off than her previous life.

  That stupid Chen Li actually became a general. There were two generals in the same family. Huh, Chen Ermei became a general even as a woman?

  She thought that she could change her destiny and stay with Fang Yong, but destiny favored Chen Ermei more instead. Chen Ermei advanced from a high-ranking madam to a female general. She was given a plaque of amnesty and enjoyed the salary of a princess.

  Why? Just why!

  Could it be that Fang Yong and Chen Ermei were going to be together again?

  Bai Yiqiao held her skirt tightly with both hands. Her joints turned white due to the force. She would never allow this to happen.

  She and Li Gouzi had inexplicably ended up in a relationship. Chen Ermei was definitely not blameless in this matter.

  Fang Yong, oh Fang Yong! Bai Yiqiao felt heartache when this name was repeated.

  Her biggest concern for rebirth had been Fang Yong. The one thing she couldn’t let go of the whole time was Fang Yong. Originally, she should have lived happily with Fang Yong.

  Bai Yiqiao sighed deeply. She opened the cabinet and began to pack her things.

  At that time, Wen Yu walked in and saw Bai Yiqiao packing things up. He couldn't help asking, "Where are you going?"

  "I'm going to find Fang Yong. He can't do this to me," said Bai Yiqiao firmly.

  Wen Yu looked upset. He said, "Fang Yong has already divorced you. You are only humiliating yourself by going to him like this."

  Bai Yiqiao sighed deeply. "It’s impossible for me and Fang Yong to be separated like this. Fang Yong is everything to me."

  Wen Yu didn't expect that despite accompanying Bai Yiqiao for nearly three years, he didn’t even enter her heart.

  He withstood the pressure of his family and planned to marry the abandoned woman Bai Yiqiao, who wasn’t even chaste, but she had never agreed.

  Fang Yong was the only one in her heart.

  "Wen Yu, thank you. You are a good person. You will meet a woman who truly loves you and belongs to you both physically and mentally." Bai Yiqiao said, "I am not fit for you."

  ?Chapter 1801: No Matter What, I Love Fang Yong

  Bai Yiqiao apologized to Wen Yu, then took her things and left.

  Wen Yu grabbed Bai Yiqiao’s arm and asked in a low voice, “Are you really going to leave?”


  She pushed aside his hand and said, “Wen Yu, I know how good you are to me, but being moved is not affection. You will meet a girl you sincerely like.”


  Wen Yu pursed his lips tightly. “Do you really think Fang Yong will marry you again?”


  “No matter what, I love Fang Yong,” said Bai Yiqiao firmly.

  Wen Yu’s face was unreconciled for a moment. In the end, he said, “Then, I wish you happiness. If I meet you in the future, I will pretend not to know you. We are strangers from now on.”


  “Wen Yu, I’ve let you down.” Bai Yiqiao hugged Wen Yu’s waist, her tears wetting his chest.

  Before leaving, Bai Yiqiao still made such an ambiguous move.

  Bai Yiqiao asked around to figure out when Chen Ermei would return to the capital.

  After staying at home for two days, Ning Shu took the two elders of the Chen family and the families of some soldiers from the village to the capital.

  As for some of the soldiers who had passed away in the war, Ning Shu gave their families appropriate compensation.

  Father Chen and Lady Li had long wanted to see Chen Li. When Ning Shu said they were going to the capital, neither of them objected. They slaughtered all the livestock they had raised and cooked them for the guards who had escorted Ning Shu back. They even held an all-day banquet and invited all the villagers to eat.

  Ning Shu took the two elders to the town to buy good clothes. While at it, she bought some jewelry for Lady Li. When there was nothing to do, she made Lady Li apply sheet masks.

  As the day of departure approached, the two elders stayed up almost all night, busying about to deal with the matters here. However, the next day, it was like they took revitalization pills. They were teeming with energy.

  The three of them sat on a carriage and headed towards the capital.

  Both Father Chen and Lady Li were people who had never traveled far. At first, it was a very novel experience, but as time passed, they couldn’t bear it. They both got motion sickness.

  Ning Shu gave the two people an invigorating medicine packet. They could sniff it when they felt uncomfortable.

  When they were halfway there, a guard came over and said to Ning Shu, “General, someone is following us. They’ve been following us the entire time.”


  Ning Shu raised an eyebrow. “Go and ask who it is.”


  The guard returned quickly and said to Ning Shu, “It’s a woman who says that her surname is Bai and that she is also going to the capital. She said that she is going to the capital to find someone.”


  Ning Shu almost laughed out loud. Bai Yiqiao was probably going to the capital to look for Fang Yong.

  At that moment, Ning Shu felt schadenfreude. Most likely, Bai Yiqiao’s trip would cause a lot of ruckus.

  This was why Bai Yiqiao was a two-faced bitch. In the years since Fang Yong left, she had a good man to care for her. Once she found someone better, she immediately kicked Wen Yu aside.

  Bai Yiqiao had a big ego. She felt that only Fang Yong was worthy of her. She actually looked down on Wen Yu. Wen Yu was only a merchant, the lowest class. Although merchants were rich, they could not make other people servile to her.

  All her fussing was because she felt unsatisfied and believed that she deserved better.

  “Let her follow if she wants. Don’t worry about her.”


  When she arrived in the capital, Ning Shu placed the two elders in the manor bestowed upon her by Emperor Yan. The two elders of the Chen family had never lived in such a large house in their lives. There were even maids to wait upon them. Every day, they felt that they were dreaming.

  As Chen Li was besieging a city and was not at home, Ning Shu stayed with the two elders.
