“Brother, you have to come quickly.”

She murmured and moved the matchstick closer to the fuse with trembling hands.

“Sister Huan!”

In the Bulwark Duke’s residence, Madam Li woke up from a nightmare.

A girl hurriedly walked in from the outer room and asked with concern,

“Auntie, did you have a nightmare again?”

“Yuwan.” Madam Li seemed to have grabbed a straw to clutch at. She grabbed

Yuan Yuwan’s hand tightly and said with a trembling voice, “I dreamed that the Nanling Pass had been broken… Sister Huan didn’t come out. She’s still so young…”

Towards the end, she choked up.

Yuan Yuwan took a soft pillow and placed it behind her to let her lean against it. She comforted her softly, “Auntie, don’t worry. Isn’t there a saying that dreams are reversed? Besides, if Nanling Pass had really been broken through, the palace would have received the news long ago. It’s impossible for the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty to hide it from you.”

“That’s right. Dreams are the opposite. The empress dowager even came to see me during the day. Why is that girl so disobedient? The battlefield is so dangerous.”

Whether she was selfish or weak, her closest relatives had all died because of

Great Xia. Now, there were only these three children left. She really didn’t want any of them to have any accidents.

If she could, she would rather their family stay in Xiagou Village forever.

“Yuwan admires Sister Huan a lot. Unfortunately, Grandfather only taught me some theoretical techniques. I can’t help at all during the country’s crisis.”

“I’m not the only one who thinks so. Ruoshui thinks so too. If not for the fact that she can’t go with her body, she would have secretly gone without Lord

Fan’s knowledge.”

“Auntie should be proud of Sister Huan too.” Yuan Yuwan comforted her gently. “The imperial physician said that your illness was caused by too much thinking. You should relax now and recover as soon as possible. When Sister Huan returns triumphantly with the army, we can happily welcome her at the city gate.”

Madam Li closed her eyes. “You’re right. I should be proud of her.”

You Bai poured a glass of warm water at the right time.

Yuan Yuwan took it and fed Madam Li. When she saw that Madam Li’s breathing had stabilized, she helped her back to the bed.

“Yuwan.” Madam Li forced a smile and patted her hand. “It’s all thanks to you these days.”

What she said was true.

After divorcing Xiao Qirui, Yuan Yuwan had been living in a manor outside the city.

Even though Shen Yijia was not in the capital, she would occasionally get You Bai to send some crops from the farm to the Bulwark Duke’s residence. They did not stop contacting each other.

A few days ago, You Bai came to deliver something and found out that Madam Li was seriously ill.

At the thought that there were only a few children in the residence, Yuan Yuwan was worried, so she moved in to take care of them.

Fortunately, she persuaded Madam Li to take better care of herself. Otherwise, Madam Li wouldn’t have been able to get better.

Madam Li also knew that she had gone overboard, but knowing was one thing. She couldn’t help but continue to worry.

“Auntie, what are you talking about? Back then, when Yuwan was in trouble, it was Jiajia who helped me. She’s not in Chang’an now, so it’s only right for me to help her take care of you. As long as you don’t find Yuwan clumsy.”

In Yuan Yuwan’s understanding, women often needed to serve their mother-in-law after getting married. She made sure to clarify that she was here because Shen Yijia had helped her before because she was worried that Madam Li would be dissatisfied with Shen Yijia.

Although it was impossible for them to get along in the past, she knew too well that some things could not withstand the scrutiny of time.

Madam Li did not think too much about it. At the mention of Shen Yijia, her expression softened. “You’re all good children.”

Seeing her reaction, Yuan Yuwan heaved a sigh of relief.

Madam Li continued, “Alright, it’s getting late. Don’t stay here. Bi Tao will take care of me. Go back to your room and rest early.”

There were many servants in the residence now, and many of the former staff had returned. Bi Tao used to serve her.

“Alright, get Bi Tao to call me if there’s anything.”

In order to make it easier to take care of Madam Li, she lived in the courtyard next door.

“Go, don’t worry about me,” Madam Li said.

After reminding Bi Tao a few more times, Yuan Yuwan left with You Bai.

“Miss, what’s wrong?” You Bai asked worriedly when he saw that her expression had turned solemn as soon as she left Madam Li’s courtyard. Yuan Yuwan shook her head. “I’m fine.”

You Bai pursed his lips. “Are you worried about Eldest Young Master Xiao?”

Yuan Yuwan said indifferently, “No, don’t spout nonsense.”

You Bai did not believe her and muttered softly, “I heard everything he said to you the day before he went to war.”

There was silence all around. You Bail s words entered Yuan Yuwan’s ears. She tightened her grip on her handkerchief and couldn’t help but think of the scene before Xiao Qirui left the capital.

“If I can return triumphantly, can we get to know each other again?”
