"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.

When Lian Shiya saw her, she raised her chin and sneered. "Big Sister, have you heard? "My dear uncle won and returned to the capital. The emperor himself went out of the city gate to receive him."

Lian Ru Yue nodded her head and said, "The news of Great General Xiao's complete victory is now known to all the commoners of the capital. I've also just had someone fire firecrackers at the door to celebrate for Great General Xiao and the emperor."

Xiao Niang did not expect that she would have such a reaction, not only did she not show any signs of anxiety, but also had the leisure to set off a cannon. Xiao Yun thought that she was just pretending to be calm and did not expose this, but the pleased expression on her face could not be hidden as she said:

"Then I'll have to thank Eldest Miss for celebrating for my brother."

"Aunt Xiao and Third Sister are going back to the Xiao family. Has the sedan been arranged?" Lian Ruyue asked "concernedly".

"Humph!" Lian Shiya coldly snorted and disdainfully said, "Lian Ruyue, I see that this damned duck has a tough tongue. If you dare claim to be first, then I'm afraid that no one will dare to claim to be second."

"Third Miss!" Auntie Xiao hurriedly pulled at Lian Shiya and whispered, "Now is not the time to argue, hurry up and leave."

Even if she thought about it, it made sense. There was no point in continuing to talk as fast as they could. When they returned from the Xiao Residence, Lian Xiyue would know that she was regretting it!

Thus, she ruthlessly waited for Lian Meng Yue to glance at, then left with Aunt Xiao.

"Halt!" At this moment, an old and dignified voice rang out. The two of them turned around and saw the madame standing there with a cold expression, followed by Lian Xi, Senior Servant Song, Huang Cen, and the others.

Aunt Xiao was surprised for a moment before she bowed and said respectfully, "Madame." Then he reached out his hand to pull Lian Shiya who was standing there, unwilling to move.

Only then did Lian Shiya reluctantly call out, "Grandmother."

Lian Ru Yue lightly glanced at the mother and daughter of the Xiao family before walking to her mother's side. "Grandmother, Great General Xiao has returned victorious. His granddaughter has also ordered someone to set a firecracker at the entrance."

"Yes." Even his mother nodded in satisfaction, feeling increasingly gratified at Lian Rue's way of doing things.

He looked at the mother and daughter in the blink of an eye as he questioned them with a cold gaze, "Where are you planning to go in such a hurry to report to the Xiao family?"

"This …" Auntie Xiao did not expect her mother to have such an ice-cold attitude. She was momentarily at a loss for words. "Of course, of course not."

"No?" Hmph, you're so impatient, not even changing your clothes. On the other hand, I want you to go back to the Xiao family and say that this old woman scolded you and her daughter. " Even her mother felt a bit panicked when she saw this "Heaven Destroyer, Calamity Star". She even thought that this "Consecutive Spell" matter was related to this honey-tongued woman.

"No, Grandmother, please don't wrongly accuse my mother and me. It was my uncle who won the battle, and the emperor is currently leading his princes to personally welcome them at the city gates. Everyone in the capital is celebrating with uncle. We went to congratulate him." Lian Shiya hurriedly said when she saw Auntie Xiao being reprimanded.

He glanced at the mother and daughter and said, "General Xiao Zhenhai has returned victoriously. He should go and congratulate them, but when did it become time for the two of you representatives to come and congratulate us? Where did you put me, your father, mother, and Ru Yue?"

"Ya Er doesn't understand Grandmother's meaning. Uncle won the battle, so Mother and I came to celebrate. Why not?" Lian Shiya looked at her mother in confusion, thinking that she couldn't bear to see her uncle win the battle.

"You talk like an uncle, you talk like an elder brother, you seem to have forgotten the fact that you are Yanqing's concubine, you are the third lady of the Prime Minister's Estate, you are still members of the Lian Clan. How is it proper for you to rush to the Xiao Clan's doorstep without passing by us and congratulate them?" Lian Mu's words were loud and reasonable, causing Aunt Xiao and Lian Shiya's expressions to change.

But Lian Shiya was still unwilling. "But …"

"Third Miss!" She quickly reacted and held Lian Shiya's hand, saying, "Old madam's words are reasonable. My humble concubine didn't think it through properly, so I was muddle-headed for a moment. Old madam needs to remind her of this. We'll go back now and obediently stay. We won't go anywhere."
