My Wife Is A General Who Killed Tens Of Thousands On The Battlefield

But this time, there were no princes or princesses present. Obviously, Emperor Zhou was not convinced. He did not believe that he could not change Yan Luoying’s mind!

In the main hall, Yan Luoying sat quietly in her seat. Under the bright lights, her beauty was eye-catching

Coincidentally, Wu Muyu was on her left.

“You young people should get closer to each other and get to know each other better…” Emperor Zhou was still speaking some cliché words. After introducing the people, he stood up and left.

He left behind the group of young men and women to mingle.

However, he did not go far. Instead, he secretly monitored the situation in the hall.

After he left, the noble scions obviously became much more relaxed. All of them stood up and chatted with each other while some men started to strike up a conversation with the ladies of their interest as well.

Yan Luoying merely sat on the seat in front of her and drank alone.

Even after a while… no one came forward to strike up a conversation. Emperor Zhou frowned.

Yan Luoying was talented and beautiful. Why didn’t anyone come forward to speak with her?

How would he know that these young masters from the capital were like Su Wen? They came from prestigious families and had both power and wealth. For such a person to marry someone, their appearance was naturally one aspect, but most men would want to marry a gentle, virtuous, and obedient woman.

Marrying a female general that had led the army to slaughter 400,000 people, why would anyone wreck their own homes? Marrying her to exorcize evil spirits? Or did they have masochistic tendencies and just wanted to give themselves more problems?

In contrast, there was no end to the men in front of Wu Muyu.

“I’m sorry. I’ve been studying embroidery at home recently. Mother doesn’t allow me to go out.”

“Poetry? I don’t know much about poetry, so I’ll give it a miss~”

“Wandering around the lake? I’m afraid of water.”

Although her voice was gentle, Wu Muyu still firmly rejected all the invitations.

“Aiyaya, these people are so annoying. Why didn’t they invite Sister Yan? It’s really infuriating. Sister Yan is drinking alone. It’s too boring.” After rejecting several people consecutively, these people stopped coming forward. Wu Muyu looked at Yan Luoying and took the initiative to talk to her.

Yan Luoying glanced at her and said, “Those who are surrounded by flies are not good people.”

Wu Muyu wasn’t angry. He smiled and said, “Didn’t I already chase them away? Sister won’t complain to Brother Su, right? I remember now, it’s useless even if Sister does. Brother Su seems to have proposed to His Majesty to break off the engagement.”

“If you’re a woman who wants to retain her pride, you should at least agree to it. It wouldn’t look good if you kept pestering him. After all, Brother Su likes girls who are gentler. I’m more straightforward with my words, you won’t be angry, right?”

Yan Luoying clenched her fists and downed a glass of wine to suppress the anger in her heart. She was afraid that she would not be able to hold it in and beat this little girl up.

After drinking the wine, Yan Luo looked at Wu Muyu with a smile. “Sister Wu, it’s useless no matter what you say. I won’t back out of the marriage. Do you want to marry Su Wen? No way! Even if your father agrees, if I don’t, do you believe that you won’t be able to enter the Su family?”

“I don’t believe you!” Wu Muyu smiled and said, “Sister is bragging, Brother Su Wen won’t listen to you! If you cry, throw a tantrum, and hang yourself, Brother Su might even set off firecrackers.”

“Um…”

Yan Luoying was indeed bragging.

She gritted her teeth and said, “So what? As long as I’m here, do you think your father will let you marry Su Wen? Even if you’re willing to become an unofficial wife, where will your father put his face?”

At this point, Wu Muyu knew that she could not refute.

Although an unofficial wife was said to be of equal status to the official wife, she was ultimately inferior. According to the rules of the Great Zhou Dynasty, only the children of the main wife were considered as the direct branch descendants of the family, while the children of the unofficial wives and concubine were considered as a side branch. Only the eldest son of the official wife would be able to inherit the title of nobility.

It was rare for children from wealthy families to choose to be an unofficial wife.

In their eyes, there was not much difference between such a wife and a concubine!

Wu Muyu fell silent.

The little girl also had her own worries.

She was also worried that Yan Luoying would not break off the engagement with Su Wen.

After thinking for a while, Wu Muyu decided to give up first.

She moved closer to Yan Luoying and held a wine glass in her hand. With tears in her eyes, she gently said, “Sister Yan, Muyu knows that she’s wrong. In the past, Muyu offended you a lot. On account that Muyu and Brother Su are in love with each other, please be magnanimous and annul the engagement with Brother Su. If you annul the engagement, Muyu will treat you as her own sister for the rest of her life. I will treat my sister the way I treat my brother.”

It was a pity that Yan Luoying was not Wu Lie after all. She smiled and said, “Sister Muyu, I’m afraid this won’t work. There are too many people who like your Brother Su Wen. As for me, he will fall in love with me sooner or later. Hence, this reason is not valid.”

Wu Muyu’s eyes were filled with bitterness. “Sister, are you so cruel?”

Yan Luoying smiled and said, “I’m just that cruel.”

“Hmph…” Wu Muyu sat back down and muttered to himself, “Muyu is not angry. After all, Brother Su still likes Muyu…”

At this moment, a young man walked towards Yan Luoying. Yan Luoying’s eyes narrowed and her killing intent overflowed.

The young man shivered and immediately changed direction, walking towards Wu Muyu.

“Miss Wu, I—”

Wu Muyu looked up and said softly, “I’m sorry, I’m not feeling well. Can you not disturb me?”

“Alright….” The young man walked away, crestfallen.

The emperor, who was watching from behind, was extremely displeased.

“Trash, all of you are trash. You can’t even handle a woman. To think you were scared away by just a single look. Just now, whose family did that brat belong to? Throw him into the border army to properly train him up for this emperor!”

The magnanimous emperor gave the young man a chance to make a name for himself!

Meanwhile in Li Prefecture – Yong County.

Zuo Qing and Wei Jinyong gathered everyone together.

“Brothers, let me inform all of you that the Royal Court’s hounds from the Martial Inspectorate have already left Jiashan and are heading towards the interior of the Li Prefecture. Furthermore, this group of people has cut off all contact with the government and are now scattered about. Currently, their whereabouts are still undetermined. You must be careful when you go out alone. Do not easily expose your identities. During this period of time, do not pull anyone into the Sect. Be careful.” After finishing this matter, Zuo Qing said, “There’s one more thing. It’s regarding our Moon God Hall’s mining grounds. Everyone might know that this year, the number of mines has decreased, but the Sect Master has already given the order that we must at least occupy a complete mine! The Sect Master has ordered that our Moon Worship Sect will exterminate the Giant Cauldron Sect and make an example out of them! Today is the agreed day to take action. We will directly attack the Giant Cauldron Sect’s halls in Yong County. The Sect Master will also order the brothers from the other halls to target the Giant Cauldron Sect’s forces in all of Li Province!”

Su Wen’s expression turned solemn. Zuo Qing and Wei Jinyong did not leak any information about this at all!

Su Wen had already guessed that there would definitely be conflicts between these sects if there were fewer mines. Unfortunately, he had not counted on the Sect Master of the Moon Worship Sect to be so swift and decisive!

He actually wanted to just annihilate another Sect!
