Although the reward was generous, Nangong Yuan didn't care.

She was still doing her own thing, waiting for the enemy to attack, or taking the initiative to attack.

At the same time, Kyoto was not so peaceful.

After Nangong Yuan went to the battlefield, more people came to propose marriage to her.

"Ma'am, don't worry too much. Now that your two children are so outstanding, you should be happy."

Mrs. Shen looked much more haggard. Although she had someone to accompany her at home, she was still in tears.

She was heartbroken by her husband's departure, and now that his body has not been returned for burial, she naturally feels a little resentful.

"Thank you, Madam Liu. I will."

The other party talked for a long time before saying, "No matter what, your eldest daughter is now of marriageable age, why don't we become relatives?"

Mrs. Shen has always been gentle. After hearing this, her face looked very ugly, but she didn't say anything.

But some people couldn't listen.

Liu Qingyue often came to her house to accompany her, so she heard these words as soon as she entered the door.

"You beast, the Marquis died on the battlefield, and now that his body is still warm, you come to ask for marriage. Who the hell are you?"

She strode forward and spoke.

"Just look at your son's character. Is he worthy of General Hongyin? What are you planning?"

Liu Qingyue cursed loudly with an extremely ugly expression.

Mrs. Shen, who was standing by, felt a little embarrassed when she saw this, but said nothing.

Because she also felt that Liu Qingyue’s scolding was good.

"Other families observe three years of mourning. Even if they don't know each other, they know that marriage is not allowed. Are you coming here now to rub salt into their wounds?"

"Who are you? I'm talking to Madam Shen, is it your turn to interrupt?"

The man became angry and started cursing.

"She is my adopted daughter, so why can't I tell her? Madam Liu, please go back."

"Go! Don't let me see you again, or I'll let the whole capital know your vicious face!"

Madam Liu's face turned pale after being scolded. She stood up and walked away while scolding: "People like you deserve to be unmarried. Nangong Yuan is already an old maid when she comes back. It's lucky that we are willing to marry her. Why are we so picky?"

"roll!"

Liu Qingyue was so angry that she picked up the teacup and threw it out.

"what!"

Mrs. Liu was so scared that she ran away immediately. Seeing this, Liu Qingyue took a deep breath.

"I'm so pissed off. What the hell is this? He actually came to the door and acted like a wild animal."

Madam Shen sighed: "They are all second-rate people. Qingyue, don't be angry. Sit down."

She pulled Liu Qingyue to sit down, and the two looked at each other, feeling helpless.

"Ma'am, please don't cry. If my sister knew about this, she would be heartbroken. She must be missing home on the battlefield."

Mrs. Shen nodded: "I know, she is a good child."

Although this matter was not discussed with her, Mrs. Shen also understood Nangong Yuan's concerns.

They are not an ordinary family. Why would she stand up if she wasn't forced to do so?

"I don't know how my sister is doing. I heard that His Majesty rewarded her for the victory. But the climate in Hongzhou is not good, and I don't know if she can bear it."

Liu Qingyue envied Nangong Yuan's decisiveness, but she also felt sorry for her.

Now they live in peace and stability in Kyoto because Nangong Yuan has stabilized the situation.

Otherwise...how could the home be so peaceful?

"Hongzhou is my hometown. It's not a place of great beauty, but I've been there before, so I'm not that uncomfortable."

"Is that so? That's good. I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Liu Qingyue asked the servants to bring some snacks she made: "Madam, please try them. These are freshly made by me."

Although she was busy in Yuehui Pavilion, she still did not forget Nangong Yuan's instructions.

He would come to see Mrs. Shen from time to time and bring some servants with him.

Fortunately, Nangong Yuan was cautious enough, and the people he kept were all highly skilled in martial arts.

"Qingyue, I'm fine. You don't have to accompany me all day. You must be busy too."

She shook her head: "It's okay. The business of the store doesn't need me to do anything personally now, but I can't sit still."

Moreover, she didn't want Mrs. Shen to stay here alone and wiping her tears.

If Nangong Yuan came back, she would definitely be sad.

"Oh, the weather is getting hot now. Madam, why don't you make some clothes for my sister? She will definitely need some decent clothes on the battlefield."

Being a woman doesn't have an easy life, let alone her?

"You're right. I actually forgot about this. It's really my fault."

Mrs. Shen seemed to have gained some motivation after saying this.

In fact, this is all secondary. Where can’t you buy clothes?

What's more, Nangong Yuan is in Hongzhou, where there are plenty of them.

But people always have to do something, and it is hard not to have problems if you stay alone like this.

Have some hope, find something to do, it's better than sitting there doing nothing.

"That's perfect. I have my sister's size, and I also know which clothes are lightweight."

Liu Qingyue then accompanied her in cutting the cloth and worked for a long time. She was relieved when she saw that she was finally not as sad as before.

"Hey, sister, when will you come back? I think Madam seems to be in a bad mood."

Even if she was good at comforting people, she was helpless in the face of such grief.

The pain of losing a loved one takes time to heal and is beyond human control.

"Ma'am, Miss, there's a letter from the girl."

Liu Qingyue opened her eyes wide: "Really?"

"Bring it here and let me see it."

Soon, Mrs. Shen opened the letter.

"Don't worry, mother. I have already established a firm foothold in Hongzhou, and my father is by my side now. I want him to watch us win the battle in Hongzhou, so it may take some time to send him back. I hope mother will not blame me for acting on my own initiative."

"I am doing well in Hongzhou. The soldiers my father left behind are taking good care of me. You don't have to worry. Wait for me to come back."

Mrs. Shen took a look and couldn't help wiping away tears.

Fortunately, she calmed down after a while.

"A Yuan has always been strong-willed. She has had this personality since she was young. I thought it was bad before, but now it is a blessing in disguise."

Liu Qingyue patted her on the back and said, "The military generals in the court are declining. It's a good thing that my sister can fight her way out. What's more, the Marquis' Mansion has always been regarded as a thorn in the eyes of others. The most terrible thing is to have no ability."

By then, they will just be fish on the chopping board.

Everyone is very clear about this, isn't it?

Madam Shen nodded: "Yes, I am glad that I didn't let her follow the rules and be an ignorant little girl in the backyard. Otherwise, what should I do?"

The most painful thing in this world is to watch things getting worse and worse while being unable to face it.

Even...there is no ability to solve it at all.

Fortunately, she has all of this and is not so helpless.

"Don't cry, Madam. This is a good thing. I believe my sister will be back soon."

She comforted Mrs. Shen before getting up and leaving.
