The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue took the token without hesitation.

Her almond eyes sparkled, and a brilliant smile suddenly appeared on her face. She said with her eyes bent, "General Xie, rest assured, I will not fail in my mission!"

After saying that, she lowered her head and began to play with the token lovingly.

The smile on his lips grew wider.

In the entire Jin Dynasty, only the Dingyuan Army could have its own generals and dispatch tokens, which were the tokens of the Xie Family Army.

But now Xie Lang was not talking to her as her husband, but was entrusting her with the important matters of the next action as the commander-in-chief of an army, which showed that he had really considered this matter seriously.

Xue Mingyue had never expected that he would take such a serious attitude.

This made her feel an indescribable sense of importance.

...Captain, Xue Mingyue smiled and her eyes narrowed slightly. She remembered that Ling Su was only a captain at the moment.

So she is on equal footing with Ling Su?

I must tell grandpa and mom about this later!

Seeing how happy she was, Xie Lang couldn't help but feel relieved. He leaned over and pinched her cheek, saying with amusement, "Are you happy now? Are you so happy being my subordinate?"

Xue Mingyue was very happy at this time. She didn't care about his actions and nodded repeatedly.

A hint of smile flashed across his eyes, and he coughed twice deliberately, saying, "You are only a bald lieutenant now, but if you can handle this matter well, I will assign a school team to you."

"By then, you will truly be a captain in the Dingyuan Army."

Xue Mingyue's eyes immediately lit up.

She stood on tiptoe and kissed Xie Lang on the face: "Xie Jinglan, you are so nice!"

Xie Lang was stunned by her kiss.

She was originally worried about the fact that she had no one to work for her. It was okay before, as there were just enough people, but the only ones who could be considered her confidants were Liuyun and Liuxing, and Li Nian could barely be considered one.

But when there are more things to do, it is obviously no longer useful.

If you want to find people to do things, you can certainly find them, but whether these people can remain loyal is still a question of merit, so many things still cannot be done.

The school team sent by Xie Lang just solved the urgent problem!

Xue Mingyue patted her chest and assured, "Don't worry, I will definitely not hold you back. If the queen and the others change their minds at the critical moment, I will make the final decision."

Hearing this, Xie Lang was speechless.

He shook his head with amusement, tilted his head slightly, and put the other side of his face in front of her, humming: "I want this side too."

Xue Mingyue was slightly stunned: "What do you want?"

"You're asking questions knowing the answer," Xie Lang's dark eyes were filled with laughter. "I have two sides of my face, but you only kissed my left cheek. That's a bit unfair, so I want this side too."

He pointed to the right side of his face.

Xue Mingyue opened her eyes wide and her face suddenly turned red. How, how could anyone ask for a kiss like this?

After waiting for a while, I saw that she didn't move.

Xie Lang tilted his head and looked at her accusingly.

"..."

Xue Mingyue felt a little embarrassed, so she pursed her lips and quickly kissed him on the right cheek.

A light clicking sound was heard in the air.

She tightly grasped the token, her eyes inexplicably wandering, and said in a calm voice: "Okay, now we can say that we have benefited equally, right?"

The corners of Xie Lang's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood.

"Alright, alright, I'm going to go and supervise Grandpa to continue taking his medicine. If you're busy, go ahead!"

Xue Mingyue couldn't resist his look, so she decisively put the token into her arms. After saying this, she left the kitchen quickly as if escaping and ran towards the main courtyard.

While running, she cursed him in her heart for being a disaster because of his handsome face.

Why would a good-looking person want to be so good-looking?

She is so weak that she can be defeated just by her face.

·

This place is not far from Lou Zhizhang's house.

Both the main courtyard and the small courtyard where Xue Mingyue lives have their own kitchenettes.

Because there are very few people living in the manor, the cook usually stays in the small kitchen in the main courtyard. In the past two days, Xue Mingyue and Xie Lang also cooked in the small kitchen in the main courtyard.

So Xue Mingyue ran into the house not long after.

When she walked in, she saw Lou Zhizhang reading a book in his hand. He was so focused that he didn't even notice her movements.

Xue Mingyue adjusted her breathing and became curious when she saw this. She couldn't help but move closer with quiet steps.

——She leaned over and took a look.

I found out that he was reading a travel book.

The only difference was that someone had annotated this book in small calligraphy with hairpin flowers. The handwriting was very familiar and she recognized it at a glance.

Xue Mingyue blinked. Isn’t this her mother’s book?

After she brought the books back with Xie Lang from the imperial prison that day, she kept a part for herself and ordered someone to send the other part to Zhuangzi for her grandfather, intending to leave it as a commemoration for her grandfather.

I didn’t expect that my grandfather also started watching it.

Even enjoyed watching it.

"When did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

At this moment, Lou Zhizhang suddenly smiled and spoke.

Xue Mingyue moved a stool to sit next to him and said with a smile: "Aniang has read a lot of books, most of which she has read. From her annotations on the books, you can tell that Aniang's mind is everywhere."

The books in that large box were mainly travel notes from various places.

Lou Zhizhang looked at these annotations with nostalgia in his eyes. He carefully stroked the pages of the book and couldn't help but sighed, "Yes, Xuanniang has loved reading these books since she was a child."

"I cared too little for her, and I owed her in the end."

He shook his head and said softly.

If he had not received these books with her annotations, he would never have known that she was actually a person who loved freedom very much.

If he had known that she had such an ambition, he would not have married her off so easily.

So much so that she was depressed and unhappy in the Xue family until she died...

Xue Mingyue saw what he was thinking, but she didn't agree with him. She chuckled and said, "You have indeed neglected your mother, but didn't you find these books for her?"

She pointed at the book in his hand and said, "Although you don't know what A Niang's ambition is, you have never stopped her, right?"

In fact, for A Niang, losing her mother at a young age and her father being neglectful and not close to her were indeed regrets in her heart.

But she was never stopped from doing what she wanted to do.

Isn’t this also a kind of freedom?

Xue Mingyue had been listening to her mother talking about her childhood since she was a child, going up mountains and down rivers, picking flowers in spring, catching cicadas in summer, harvesting Ophiopogon japonicus in autumn, and appreciating the snow. In the days before she got married, she had done many things.

Even getting married was a decision she made on her own.
