"Gu Yunting, don't try to evade the main point and say nice things to fool me. We have been married for several years, and I think I know you a little bit. You are clear about gratitude and resentment towards others, and you act decisively. If Wu Yiying's mother and son had not entered the general's mansion, you would definitely not indulge her entanglement. You wanted to be responsible for them from the beginning, right?"

Gu Yunting did not deny Yan Muyun's accusation. "Yes, I promised Gao Baifu that I would take good care of his wife and children, and I will definitely do it."

Yan Muyun pushed him away and took a step back to keep a distance. "So, in the end, you still want me to compromise and agree to let the mother and son enter the mansion?"

Gu Yunting looked at his empty palm and sighed helplessly, "Can't you just listen to what I have to say?"

"You talk, I'm all ears, let's see what you can say about betrayal." Yan Muyun raised her chin, her wet eyes filled with stubbornness.

Gu Yunting looked straight into her eyes, "Am I such an untrustworthy person in your eyes?"

"Don't show off your tea art in front of me. You've already done something disgusting. How can I trust you?"

Gu Yunting didn't know what Yan Muyun meant by showing off her tea art, but it was definitely not a good thing. He had no choice but to defend himself: "What did I do? Did I explicitly say that I wanted to take a concubine into the mansion, or did I have an affair with another woman?"

Seeing Yan Muyun staring at him without refutation, Gu Yunting continued, "Gao Baifu died for me. Muyun, you know this. Regardless of whether I made a promise to him or not, I should have properly arranged for his wife and children. But his wife Yingniang is a restless person. It is not appropriate to leave the child to her now and in the future. Therefore, I want to take Gao Baifu's son away from Yingniang and find someone else to raise him. But even if I am in a high position, I cannot snatch someone else's flesh and blood. If I get hold of Yingniang's handle, I can force her to remarry and voluntarily give up raising her son."

"So, you deliberately seduced Yingniang to get involved with you?" Yan Mujun was skeptical about Gu Yunting's words.

"Well, only if we indulge her, her ambition will gradually expand and she will do something that can be manipulated."

After understanding the reason, Yan Muyun still felt angry, "Then you are also wrong. Why didn't you discuss it with me before doing it? You made me go crazy like a mad woman."

"I was wrong." Gu Yunting admitted his mistake again.

Since he was a child, he was used to making his own decisions. He never consulted with others before doing anything, and there was no one to consult with.

Even after getting married, Yan Muyun was not an ordinary woman who put her husband first. She was immersed in her own world most of the time. Apart from sleeping together, the couple rarely sat together and talked.

Therefore, he was used to making his own decisions when encountering problems. If Yan Mujun didn't care and didn't ask, he wouldn't mention it on his own initiative.

That day, Yingniang was about to take the bait, but Yan Muyun happened to come back. She angrily argued with the mother and son, and insisted that he make a choice in front of her.

His plans were disrupted and he was really annoyed. He couldn't control himself and shouted a little louder.

As soon as he finished shouting, he regretted it and sent Yingniang and her son away. He had planned to coax Yan Mujun, but an emergency occurred in the military camp. When he came back the next day, he couldn't find anyone.

Yan Mujun frowned and said nothing. Although Gu Yunting explained everything clearly and admitted his mistake, she still couldn't let it go for a while.

Gu Yunting suddenly stepped closer, and she stepped back subconsciously, "What are you doing? I'm telling you, Gu Yunting, this matter cannot be let go like this, you should deal with Yingniang and her son first..."

Before Yan Muyun could finish her words full of grievances, her body was enveloped in the familiar warmth.

"Let go, I haven't decided whether to forgive you or not!"

"Take your time to think about it. I'll hold you for a while."

The low whispers scraped against her ears like feathers, making her feel tingling and numb. Yan Mujun's body softened involuntarily, and after a moment of shock, she finally remembered to resist and push away the person.

"Let me go, I didn't agree. Who told you to hug me?" He swung his fist at the shoulder in front of him.

Gu Yunting groaned in pain, but did not loosen his arms around Yan Muyun at all.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful. Your flesh is harder than stone. How can I hurt you?" Yan Muyun said. She saw a little blood seeping out of the shoulder in front of her. She couldn't help but raise her voice, "Are you hurt?"

"It's okay, just a minor injury, you don't have to worry." Gu Yunting said in a nonchalant tone.

"Who's worried about you? Don't be so sentimental."

The woman was only tough on the surface. Before she finished her words, she started to take off her clothes. She didn't notice that the corner of the man's lips above her head had already risen to the sky.

After calming down, Yan Muyun asked Gu Yunting, "Where are you going to take Yingniang and her son?"

"I have already found a family for Gao Baifu's younger son. As for the older one, I will find a way to send him away after the war is over!"

The fifth prince was tortured to death by the North Vietnamese army, and the eldest princess is still in their hands. The two armies are currently in a stalemate, and Gu Yunting really has no time to deal with other people and things.

Yan Muyun was somewhat dissatisfied, but she did not raise any unreasonable demands. "When will you return to Dingzhou?"

"Let's go after dinner." After saying this, Gu Yunting reached out and hugged Yan Muyun in his arms.

Yan Mujun struggled but couldn't get free. She was afraid of tearing his wound further, so she just let him hold her.

In the past two years, we have witnessed the cruelty of fighting on the battlefield in the era of cold weapons. Compared with the war between family and country, small conflicts between husband and wife are really nothing.

At the dinner table, Qingge looked at his father, then at his mother, his eyes busier than his mouth.

I have to take the opportunity to take a few more glances, because once my father takes my mother away, I won’t be able to see her even if I want to.

Uncle Ge put a small piece of lamb chop into the little fellow's bowl, looked up and said to Yan Muyun, "Sister Yun, don't worry, follow General Gu back to Dingzhou. Brother Qing will be taken care of by your uncle and aunt, so you two can rest assured."

Upon hearing that his father and mother were leaving, Qingger's chewing of meat slowed down noticeably, and a look of grievance welled up in his big eyes.

Yan Muyun picked up a piece of green vegetables for her son with chopsticks and said, "I haven't seen Qing'er for a long time. I want to stay in Jincheng for a while and spend more time with him."

Uncle Ge thought that the rift between the couple had not yet been resolved, so he hurriedly advised, "Protecting the country is more important, Yunjie, you should go back with your son-in-law as soon as possible! Qingge is a sensible child and will understand you."

Qing Ge'er looked at the green dish in the bowl, then looked at his mother who was so beautiful that he would not refuse her. After making a choice, he said vaguely, "Mom and Dad, please go. I will miss you."

Rather than not being able to see his father and mother, he felt that being forced to eat vegetables was more painful.

In recent days, the Dingbei Army has fought two consecutive battles with North Vietnam, and there must be many wounded soldiers in the wounded camp. Yan Mujun is worried about Dingzhou, but she is reluctant to separate from her son and Yan Muxi just after they met.

Seeing his wife in a dilemma, Gu Yunting put down his chopsticks and said, "Since Mu Yun wants to stay in Jincheng for two more days, uncle should let her do what she wants! I will send someone to Jincheng to pick her up in a few days."

Uncle Ge couldn't force it anymore after hearing that. "Okay, if the general is not available, I will personally send Mu Yun back in two days."

"Thank you, uncle, for both Qing'er and Muyun." Gu Yunting picked up the wine cup and was about to toast Uncle Ge, but Yan Muyun snatched it away.

"No drinking, eat the vegetables." Yan Muyun looked at the younger one after taking care of the older one. "And you, eat all the vegetables in the bowl. Don't leave even a single one."

Gu Yunting smiled awkwardly at Uncle Ge and his wife, then silently picked up the chopsticks to pick up the food.

Qing Ge'er subconsciously looked at Gu Yunting, and seeing that his father did not dare to disobey his mother, he resigned himself to his fate and stuffed the food in the bowl into his mouth.

Uncle Ge and his wife looked at each other and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although my niece is the daughter of a top-ranking official of the current dynasty, she is only a concubine's daughter after all. It is a real high-ranking marriage for her to marry into the marquis's mansion and become the general's wife.

If Gu Yunting insisted on taking a concubine, they, as her family, had no confidence to object, and had no choice but to persuade their niece. If they could persuade her, it would be fine, but if not, they could only watch their niece being divorced.

Now that he saw that his niece was able to hold Gu Yunting, the heavy stone weighing on his heart was finally completely removed.
