Bai Yiqiao followed the group and also reached the capital. She found out where Fang Yong lived by asking around. As Fang Yong was on an expedition, there was only his mother in the mansion.

  Bai Yiqiao wanted to visit Fang Yong’s mother but was rejected at the gate. The old lady did not go out, either, so she had no way to see the old lady at all.

  Originally, she should also be the owner of this house. It was not that she could not buy a house. After all, she had the money, but the meaning was different here.

  Bai Yiqiao waited for half a month before Fang Yong, Chen Li, and the others returned triumphantly. Bai Yiqiao stood on the side of the street, looking at Fang Yong on horseback. She remembered that he also looked so heroic in her previous life.

  When the army walked into the city, the common people lined the streets to welcome them. Some young women even threw embroidered pouches to the unmarried Fang Yong and Chen Li.

  Bai Yiqiao squeezed her handkerchief tightly. Who knew how many people were interested in such a successful Fang Yong?

  As soon as Chen Li returned home, Lady Li heartily cried in his arms. At the dinner table, Father Chen mentioned that he wanted Chen Li to get married.

  How could Chen Li think about getting married? It was currently the fiercest time of battle between the two countries.

  Faced with the pressure of his parents, Chen Li could only ask for help from Ning Shu. Ning Shu said, “Father, Mother, Brother is now the General Who Conquers The East. Many girls are willing to marry Brother, but it is not easy to find a good daughter-in-law. You pick someone first. After you have chosen, Brother will have no objections, right, Brother?”


  “Yes, you guys look first,” said Chen Li repeatedly.

  Then, the topic shifted to Ning Shu’s marriage. They discussed what kind of family she would marry into.

  Ning Shu didn’t say anything, and her face remained expressionless. It was none of her business anyway.

  As for Fang Yong, once he returned home, his mother told him that Bai Yiqiao had come to find him. When he heard her name, Fang Yong frowned. He told his mother to ignore her.

  However, Bai Yiqiao went to Fang Yong’s door almost every day to visit him. In addition, Fang Yong was now the best candidate for a husband. His family condition was simple; there were no brothers and sisters, and there was only one mother to serve.

  Too many people longed for Fang Yong. Bai Yiqiao was a little panicked. She even spent some money to spread the word that she was Fang Yong’s wife.

  But Fang Yong still ignored her. Even if they met, Fang Yong would pretend not to know her. Bai Yiqiao was almost a one-man show. She deeply felt in her heart how much she loved Fang Yong and how innocent she was. He had to forgive her.

  Otherwise, she would think of ways to make Fang Yong be gentler towards her, hoping that if Fang Yong could recall their past happy days, his cold heart would be thawed.

  But Fang Yong was still stone-faced; there was no reaction. He was an extremely unyielding man, someone with a strong conviction. Once he decided something, he would almost never waver.

  When the other party did not respond to her advances, Bai Yiqiao became a little anxious. She even criticized Fang Yong for becoming rich and wealthy and abandoning his old destitute wife.

  Bai Yiqiao was very persistent and used a lot of methods: showing weakness, making threats, pretending to be pitiful, harming herself, and even threatening to hang herself at the door of Fang’s house. She employed one trick after another.

  In any case, it was quite lively, providing a lot of humorous material for people to talk about in their after-dinner tea conversations. Ning Shu almost moved a bench and sat in front of Fang Yong’s house to watch the show.

  Ning Shu basically never went to the battlefield now. It was all her apprentices running in her place instead. Even if these people get high-ranking official positions, she still had her share of the rewards.

  The faith power would not be small.

  “Ding, the task is complete. Do you want to leave the task world?” 2333’s voice sounded in her mind.

  She had been in this world a long time. Counting time, Chen Ermei was eighteen years old now.

  “Leave.” She clicked yes.

  With a buzzing sound in her head, Ning Shu returned to the system space.

  Ning Shu felt very tired. The first thing she did was to lay on the bed to sleep. War could destroy everything. It was the most exhausting to go to battle and kill others, and the fatigue had seeped into her soul.
