“I consulted some Taoist priests later. According to them, Lan Zhengfeng probably felt that my mother’s death was mysterious since she had died from poisoning. He probably also thought that she should not be buried in the ancestral grave in the first place since she was only a mistress.
“But my mother saved you, and you were pressuring him, so he had no choice but to honor her death. Instead, he played hidden tricks.
“In short, he wanted my mother to die with grievances and avenge himself,” An Jiuyue said.
Qian Jiyun took a deep breath and spat, “Lan Zhengfeng!”
She is my life savior! How dare Lan Zhengfeng treat her like this?
Even if she isn’t my life savior, she still gave birth to a son and a daughter for him! How can he do such vicious things as her husband? This is proof of his awful character.
“I shouldn’t have let him off so easily!”
I went too easy on him by sending him to Ming Gu County. Just you wait. I’ll have plenty of time to torment this crazy thing!
“Jiuyue…”
An Jiuyue calmed herself down and asked, “When are you taking Zheng’er and Rong’er away?”
Qian Jiyun stayed silent.
When did I say that I’m taking them away? I’m trying to use them as an excuse to stay here!
“Jiuyue, Zheng’er and Rong’er are still young. How can they leave you?” he asked.
An Jiuyue fell silent.
He was right. Zheng’er and Rong’er had been with her for so many years. They could not bear to leave her, and neither could she. She already found it difficult to separate from the two babies even though she had only spent less than a month with them.
But what can I do? Their biological father is here looking for them. I can’t keep them to myself, right?
“Are you going to leave them here with me?” she asked him.
Qian Jiyun was lost for words and reminded her helplessly, “Jiuyue, did you forget something?”
“What?” An Jiuyue asked.
“Jiuyue, we are husband and wife. We had our wedding ceremony. Have you forgotten that?”
Although they had not consummated their marriage, they had plenty of time. They could take their time. As long as she could remember that they were husband and wife, it was enough for him.
An Jiuyue was extremely shocked.
She had never thought about this. After all, she was not the Host.
However, she could not reveal that.
“So you want to live here?”
That can’t be right. Qian Jiyun was already a great general four years ago. He must have earned a lot of military merit by now. How can he live in such a mountain?
Qian Jiyun coughed. Of course, he wanted to stay here.
However, he knew that he could not admit that to her because she would definitely explode.
She had just received so much information. He had to slow things down first.
“Jiuyue, you know that I’m a great general. I’m deployed for battle all year round. How can I stay here forever? I’ll come over for a few days whenever I’m free.
“Besides, I told you that woman in my house is very vicious. I’ll be worried about leaving Zheng’er and Rong’er in my home.
“But I can’t bring them to the military camp either. They’re still young.”
