The Empress Kneels in Her Palace to Admit Her Mistakes After Slaying Her Ways in the Female-Oriented

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan shoved his wife aside, picked up Ruan Fei, and strode away.

The lady was indignant and followed him, but Zhou Mengyan was too fast. He circled around her twice and shook her off. When she found nothing, she returned with a desolate heart, only to find that the military camp was already in an uproar.

"Holy crap, guys, did you see that just now? The Grand Commander was carrying Miss Ruan right there in the military camp!"

"Does this mean their relationship is about to be made public?"

"It's impossible for it to be made public, after all, the madam is keeping it under control, and the Grand Commander can't lose the madam's support, so he and Miss Ruan are probably just doing it secretly."

"This isn't sneaking around! It's totally blatant, isn't it?"

"The Grand Commander is really something. He actually managed to fall for that impoverished woman he and his wife had been supporting. No, what did he see in Ruan Fei? She's not even as pretty as his wife."

"Young people are prone to causing trouble!"

……

One sound after another, near and far, reached the lady's ears, like sharp blades piercing her heart and drawing blood.

Back then, Ruan Fei was just a fisherwoman by the river, so poor she couldn't even afford food. She was simply kind-hearted, and Zhou Mengyan had been supporting her and hiring renowned teachers for her education. How could this be...?

Instead of raising a sensible and well-mannered woman, she has raised a vixen who is now trying to steal her husband, and the struggle has quickly escalated from clandestine to open and blatant.

What did she do wrong?

While the lady was still wallowing in self-pity, Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan had already hurriedly carried Ruan Fei to their secret base. Although it looked like an ordinary tent, the inside was warm and cozy, making one's heart flutter.

"Brother Mengyan, thank you. I knew that no matter how many people in this world don't like me, there will always be someone who loves me."

Zhou Mengyan gently laid Ruan Fei down, covered her with a blanket, and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about? You're not feeling well, so of course I have to take care of you."

"Do you think we can just stand by and do nothing about it?"

"Alright, how are you now? Should I go get you a doctor?"

"No need, Brother Mengyan, as long as you're by my side, I'll be fine." Ruan Fei smiled sweetly, naturally reaching out to hug Zhou Mengyan's arm, softly leaning against Zhou Mengyan's chest, and soon fell asleep peacefully.

Grand Commander Zhou Mengyan was busy with military affairs, but he put everything aside and devoted himself to accompanying Ruan Fei. Several hours later, he finally let Ruan Fei go and rushed back to deal with his important military and national affairs.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, Ruan Fei, who had been sleeping soundly, immediately opened her eyes, her gentle gaze replaced by a look of determination.

"Brother Meng Yan, you are mine."

"I will definitely snatch you away from that haggard old woman!"

As if to comfort herself, she cheered herself up, calculated the time, got up, looked around the tent entrance to make sure no one was there, and quickly ran out.

He went to find Ning Wanqin.

If she moves quickly, she will most likely be able to catch up with Ning Wanqin, who is preparing to cross the river. This woman, who is also the leader of the all-female army, is now her best friend.

She had to see her best friend off.

Ning Wanqin was lucky; she caught up with Shen Moyan just before they were about to board the ship, calling out, "Sister Wanqin..."

The shouts drifted on the river breeze, reaching Ning Wanqin's ears. Ning Wanqin turned around in surprise, shaking hands tightly with Ruan Fei: "Sister, I thought you weren't coming!"

Ruan Fei immediately said, "Sister Wanqin, you're going to see Lu Chaosheng today. How could I not come on such an important occasion?"

Ning Wanqin was clearly very happy, holding Ruan Fei's hand and saying nonstop, "I'm so happy that you came to see me off."

"With your help, I will definitely bring Lu Chaosheng to join me this time. Lu Chaosheng will then be a general under the Grand Commander, greatly increasing the Grand Commander's strength and saving him from being controlled by the Madam in the future."

These words struck a chord with Ruan Fei, who immediately nodded, moved, and said, "Sister Wanqin, you understand me best."

"That old hag took advantage of the years she endured hardship with Brother Mengyan, and acted like she was old and arrogant. She even showed her displeasure when Brother Mengyan was nice to me."

"And he lectures me all the time."

"She said I only got where I am today because of her financial support back then, and told me to tone it down... Humph, but my love for Brother Mengyan is genuine. We have love, so why shouldn't she step down and give Brother Mengyan to me?"

Ruan Fei grew angrier and angrier as she spoke, her tone becoming increasingly aggressive: "Sister Wanqin, this time, once you invite General Lu Chaosheng here, I will have someone I can use. From now on, I will gradually eliminate that old hag's influence in the army."

"The online army belongs to Brother Meng Yan, and it's mine too. It has nothing to do with that old hag. Just because she set it up doesn't mean she can keep it all to herself!"

Ning Wanqin wholeheartedly agreed and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's exactly how it should be."

"There's no love left between the Grand Commander and that haggard woman; only familial affection remains. Why won't she step down?"

"They have absolutely no moral character!"

"Just thinking about it makes me want to vomit!"

As she spoke, Ning Wanqin held Ruan Fei's hands tightly and said, "Xiao Fei, don't worry, this time, after I bring Lu Chaosheng here, I will definitely support you."

"Then, let's join forces and find Lord Gu Qingyue again, so that the entire Yangtze River defense line will be under our control."

"We both want to have a sweet and loving relationship!"

Ruan Fei and Ning Wanqin clapped their hands as if they were making a pact, both beaming with joy.

Then, Ruan Fei saw Ning Wanqin and Shen Moyan off onto the boat, even standing on the shore for quite a while.

This made Ning Wanqin, who was already full of confidence, even more confident about her trip.

As the boat gradually moved towards the center of the river, Shen Moyan, who had been holding back for a long time, finally couldn't help but speak up: "Wanqin, from what Ruan Fei said, besides my unparalleled contribution, is there also Ruan Fei's own intention in bringing Lu Chaosheng here this time?"

"What's wrong?"

"Is Ruan Fei trying to use Lu Chaosheng's abilities to fight against Madam?"

"Is Ruan Fei planning to become the mistress and take over the wife's position?"

When he asked this question, Shen Moyan felt a pang of jealousy, because he really envied Ruan Fei for being able to rise from the status of a mistress to a wife, while he... although he had already registered his marriage with Ning Wanqin and was a legally recognized couple in the entire Yunjing, he couldn't even possess Ning Wanqin.

How could I not feel envious, jealous, and resentful?

Unexpectedly, Ning Wanqin, who was always gentle with him, glared at him immediately after hearing his words and said, "Mo Yan, what nonsense are you spouting?"

What does it mean for a mistress to take over a man's position?

"Ruan Fei and the Grand Commander are truly in love!"

True love conquers all!

"That haggard-looking woman from the Grand Commander's household is the real mistress!"

After a pause, Ning Wanqin emphasized, "The one who isn't loved is the mistress!"
