C218 (1/2)

”The eighth prince, who was going to provide support, returned to court yesterday.”

Even the crescent moon listened attentively. Indeed, the faint sounds of artillery barrages could be heard from outside.

”Pa! Pa!” The snowball in her hand fell to the ground, breaking into pieces. She looked at Lian Ruyue nervously.

”Eldest Miss …”

As if she knew that Xiao Zhenhai would return with a complete victory, she said, ”General Xiao Zhenhai has achieved a complete victory and repelled the Liaoning army. This is the biggest blessing of all. We will also prepare and set up a cannon at the entrance to celebrate for the Emperor and the Great General Xiao!”

Of course, Lian Xiyue wouldn't be surprised. In her previous life, Xiao Zhenhai had also achieved complete victory. With his successful return, the Xiao family rose to the top and became the capital's number one clan.

Before long, the crown prince would be reinstated and she would be married to Feng Qianyue, becoming the princess of Yue. From then on, they would tread a bloody path.

In his rebirth, some things could change, some things couldn't.

She turned around and saw the First Wife standing behind her. Her face was pale and she looked at her with a panicked expression. Her voice was trembling —

”Yue Er …”

As if nothing had happened, Ru Yue walked over and supported the first wife's hand. Although there was a warm handbag in her hand, her palm was ice-cold. ”Mother, the sky is cold. You have been standing here for a long time. Let's go back.”

”Xiao Zhenhai has returned victorious. He, they …”

”Mother, I know that this is a matter worth celebrating throughout the world. I was just about to ask someone to prepare a cannonball.” Lian Ruyue did not panic at all, but the first wife became even more uneasy.

Now that Xiao Zhenhai had returned, Auntie Xiao would definitely ask for help. If that was the case … Could Littlemoon handle it?

West yard.

”…” Aunt Xiao suddenly stood up and tightly held Senior Servant Zhen's hand as she excitedly asked, ”Are you speaking the truth? Big brother won the battle and returned. The emperor is personally leading the princes and princesses to greet him at the city gates.”

Her hair was disheveled, and there was a bruise on her forehead that had accidentally knocked her face into a tree when she went to fetch water in the morning.

Senior Servant Zhen also looked very excited. ”Yes, yes, Aunt, it's all true!” Right now, all of the common folk of the capital are firing their cannons, celebrating the return of Great General Xiao after winning the battle. Everyone says that Great General Xiao is a great hero. ”

”That's great! Great! Big brother has finally returned from the battle and will definitely not abandon me and Ya Er. Our bitter days are finally coming to an end! I want to go back to the Xiao family and see big brother! Let him uphold justice for us! ”

She didn't even have time to clean herself before she excitedly ran out of the west yard. She happened to run into Lian Shiya, who hurriedly ran over. She ran over and fiercely grabbed her arms and loudly said, ”Mother, did you hear? Uncle came back from winning the war! The Emperor will lead all the princes and officials to greet them at the city gate! ”

”Ya Er, I know, I already know. I'm about to head back to the Xiao family to celebrate!” This news was simply too good to be true. All the haze that had hung over the past few days had been swept away by Madam Xiao's expression.

”I'll go too! I want Uncle to stand up for me!” Lian Shiya felt that all her unhappiness was washed away by Xiao Zhenhai's great victory.

”Let's go.” The two excitedly ran towards the gate of the Prime Minister's Residence. Although the road was narrow for enemies, they just happened to run into Lian Meng Yue at the door.
