The Widowed Mother, a Valiant General

Looking into Yu Mingchuan's eyes, Lu Qing felt as if he couldn't breathe properly, but he calmed down.

"I'm just protecting myself." Lu Qing said his first sentence after meeting Yu Mingchuan.

It was truly laughable. Who would use killing Shi Hu as a bargaining chip? If Shi Hu hadn't died, then she would have already been devoured by now, with not even her bones remaining.

Seeing that Yu Mingchuan was still staring at her, Lu Qing turned back to look at her. Even his eyelashes were so long, especially when he was squinting.

"Zhang Mao gave you to me."

The devilish face before him suddenly blossomed into a huge grin. Lu Qing, however, could see the ice-cold killing intent within that smile.

"I've heard that you are not yet broken and that you love to be clean."

Lu Qing didn't want to respond to this. She didn't even want to look at this person's face anymore. She didn't do anything to harm him, yet he wanted to kill her.

How did she become someone else's chess piece?

This world was really too cruel and terrifying. Perhaps after she died, she could return to her own world. It was just that she pitied Han Shuo. Such a smart child, she ended her life at the age of six.

Just as Lu Qing turned his face away, his chin was suddenly grabbed by a large hand.

"Tonight, I'll be serving at the commander-in-chief's residence. I won't change back into my female attire, so I'll be coming as my personal soldier."

Lu Qing rubbed his chin. This person's strength was too great, she was afraid that her bones would shatter in that instant.

"Mother …" Han Shuo's little face was incomparably pale. He had truly been frightened by Yu Mingchuan. He had never seen someone who was so good-looking yet also so terrifying.

The main reason for this was because he had felt Lu Qing's fear. Even his mother was afraid of him, so he had to be afraid of him as well.

Lu Qing got up and gently rubbed Han Shuo's head with a comforting smile.

"Xue Yan, look after this child tonight. Also, don't let your people talk about Lu Qing's identity."

Saying this, Yu Mingchuan once again grabbed the retreating Lu Qing's sleeve, and pulled her over to sit on the cushion beside him.

"Afraid of me?" Yu Mingchuan was still squinting his eyes, making it impossible for anyone to see the look in his eyes.

"I'm afraid." Lu Qing was kneeling on the ground, unmoving.

"Why did I have nothing to live for just now?" Yu Mingchuan closed in on Lu Qing, but his eyes were still unfathomably deep.

"Man is the chopping block, I am the fish." A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Lu Qing's mouth. She originally thought that Zhang Mao giving her so much gold was a good thing, but she didn't expect that the price would be her life.

She didn't know what kind of enmity there was between Yu Mingchuan and Zhang Mao. She only knew that she had become a chess piece. No one would care about the life or death of a chess piece.

Yu Mingchuan stared at Lu Qing for a while longer, before his ice-cold aura faded, returning to a half-smiling state.

Xue Yan could not bear to continue watching and pulled a cushion to sit across from Yu Mingchuan.

"Brother Minchuan, what do you mean by that? General Zhang doesn't have any ill intentions towards you. If you feel that Lu Qing has a problem, then I'll take her with me. "

It's over.

As she finished speaking, Lu Qing could feel the ice-cold air around her once more. This time, not only did Yu Mingchuan tug on her sleeve, he was also gripping her wrist tighter and tighter.

"Since Zhang Mao gave her to me, then it's mine." After saying that, Yu Mingchuan's empty hand took out the official position that Lu Qing had once seen.

Yu Mingchuan seemed to have unfurled it on purpose, and even waved it in front of Lu Qing and Xue Yan's eyes. Lu Qing saw that the man's name was already Yu Mingchuan.

She had become his wife.
