Lady Wan of Bright Deportment was also stunned.

Yu Wan said embarrassedly, “Am I too rude? I didn’t disturb Father and Her Highness from catching up, right?”

Lady Wan of Bright Deportment opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Xiao Zhenting smiled in a good mood. “No, I happened to bump into Her Highness and greeted her. Are you going back to the manor?”

“Yes.” Yu Wan smiled and nodded.

Xiao Zhenting hurriedly said, “I’ll send you off.” With that, he turned around and cupped his hands at Lady Wan of Bright Deportment. “Your Highness, take care of yourself. I’ll take my leave first.”

!!

“Father, I want to eat plums.”

“I’ll go back and pick it for you.”

“And melons.”

“Okay, I’ll pick it for you too.”

The conversation between the two of them gradually faded away. No one would say that they were not father and daughter based on the way they interacted. Of course, Yu Wan was Xiao Zhenting’s daughter-in-law, but if he did not really dote on her, they would not have such a relationship.

Lady Wan of Bright Deportment stood there until the two of them left the room and could no longer see the corner of their clothes. Then, she carried the nourishing soup and walked to the imperial study.

Xiao Zhenting let Yu Wan call him father a few times. He was so happy that he couldn’t find his bearings. When he got into the carriage, he forgot to bend down. His head hit the canopy and it was broken.

Canopy: What did I do wrong…

Xiao Zhenting entered the palace for a small matter. A few barbarian small clans in the east were dishonest and fled to the border to cause trouble. The Emperor asked Xiao Zhenting about the strategy to deal with the enemy, and Xiao Zhenting touched his conscience and proposed a plan. Although the battle of the Xiongnu ended with the Great Zhou winning, the soldiers at the border were greatly injured. Was all of this wrong? Was there no one in the Great Zhou that the Emperor could use, or was it that the Emperor did not dare to use them? The Emperor had also asked himself more than once. If he had sent Xiao Zhenting north early on, would he not have paid so much later?

The Emperor did not dare to say this to others, let alone Xiao Zhenting.

“Do you have any intention of leading troops?” The Emperor probed.

“If Your Majesty has an order, I will naturally accept it.” This meant that he had no intention of doing so.

The Emperor was a little surprised. The usually warlike Xiao Zhenting actually didn’t fight. What did he want? He wanted to find an antidote for Yan Jiuchao. Of course, Xiao Zhenting would not tell the Emperor the truth.

Although the two of them doted on Yan Jiuchao, from the moment the Emperor used any means to ruin Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan’s marriage, these two men were destined to be ruler and minister.

Moreover, the small barbarian clans in the east were indeed nothing to be afraid of. The Far East General, Pang Hui, was Pang Ren’s uncle and was also a fierce general. He would definitely be able to make the eastern border impregnable.

After Xiao Zhenting sent Yu Wan back to the Young Master Manor, he went to see Yan Jiuchao. Yan Jiuchao woke up for four hours and rested after lunch. Xiao Zhenting did not wake him up. He sat for a while in the orchard to pick the fruits Yu Wan wanted to eat before returning home.

Yu Wan looked at the two large baskets of fruits and did not know whether to laugh or cry. She was only deliberately occupying Xiao Zhenting in front of Lady Wan of Bright Deportment. Who really wanted him to pick fruits on such a hot day?

Yu Wan tasted a plum.

Oh, sweet.

Shadow Thirteen had gone somewhere, and Shadow Six was in her room. Yu Wan asked Zi Su to stay and called Shadow Six to the study.

“Princely Heir Consort.” Shadow Six bowed.

Yu Wan closed the door. “I have something to ask you.”

“Princely Heir Consort, please speak.” The door was closed. It must be a big deal.

Yu Wan said seriously, “Do you… know Lady Wan of Bright Deportment?”

Shadow Six frowned and said, “I recognize her, but she doesn’t recognize me. Why is the Princely Heir Consort suddenly asking about her?”

Didn’t she bump into her talking to Xiao Zhenting outside the imperial study? Yu Wan hoped that she was thinking too much. After all, Master Xiao Wu had a strong relationship with her. Unless she had no choice, she was really unwilling to suspect his biological sister. However, ever since Su Mu’s accident, she had always been more cautious when she looked at the women outside.

The way Lady Wan of Bright Deportment looked at Xiao Zhenting just now made her have an indescribable feeling.

She did not like it.

Yu Wan said, “I met her outside the imperial study just now. She seems to be very familiar with Grand Marshal Xiao.”

Shadow Six said, “Ah, Grand Marshal Xiao is Master Xiao Wu’s sworn brother and his surname is Xiao. The two families have always had dealings.”

“Is that all?” Yu Wan asked.

Shadow Six frowned. “It’s said…”

“It’s said that Lady Wan of Bright Deportment has arranged a marriage with Grand Marshal Xiao!”

Old Cui had appeared at the door at some point. He held a fat roasted mutton leg in his hand, pushed open the door, and leisurely leaned against the door frame to eat the mutton leg.

Shadow Six glared. “Old man, you’re eating!”
