Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

And this dramatic scene happened to be seen by Shangguan Xingyu and Yan Shuang'er, who had just walked in. The two were stunned at first, then burst into loud laughter at the comical sight.

Qianqian rubbed her buttocks with one hand while pouting, "Mother, how could you do this? You ambushed me!"

An Wangfei didn't agree, scolding angrily, "I ambushed you, so what? I'm not a martial artist, what martial virtue am I supposed to discuss with you!"

Qianqian had wanted to retort a few words, but upon careful thought, she felt her mother's words weren't entirely unreasonable. Just as she hesitated whether to continue arguing, Shangguan Xingyu had already quickly walked over.

Shangguan Xingyu walked to An Wangfei's side, smiling as she took the feather duster from her hand and handed it to Chunxi beside her, then said gently to An Wangfei, "Mother, rest a bit, look at you, you're sweating all over from exhaustion."

Then she turned around and mercilessly scolded, "You, you, you're already such a grown-up, how can you still be so troublesome!"

Seeing this, Qianqain stuck out her tongue playfully, seemingly not taking the scolding to heart.

At this moment, Yan Shuang'er interjected, "Chunxi, go brew a pot of tea quickly. Mother, let's go sit by the stone table and properly interrogate this girl Qianqian about where she went."

Just like that, the two spoke back and forth, successfully changing the subject, and An Wangfei's anger gradually dissipated. Supported by Shangguan Xingyu, An Wangfei slowly walked to the stone table and sat down.

After all four were seated, Shangguan Xingyu immediately put away her smile, straightened her face, and said sternly to Qianqian, "Qianqian, tell me the truth right now, where exactly did you go? You've been gone so many days without a word to your family, do you know how worried everyone was about you?"

Qianqian understood in her heart that Shangguan Xingyu was doing this partly out of worry that her mother would be angry, and partly to give herself a way out.

Although An Wangfei's face was gloomy and stern at this moment, Qianqian felt not the slightest fear.

However, she still obediently began to explain, "Sister-in-law, I received news that there was an escort mission carrying a full fifty million taels of gold! Who would have thought this escort would be robbed by bandits."

Although this escort mission could earn a lot of money, if we lost those fifty million taels of gold, we'd have to pay for it ourselves! How could that be acceptable? So I had no choice but to go myself, make this trip, and snatch that gold back."

An Wangfei looked at Qianqian with a suspicious face and asked, "Are you talking about the bandits in Fu Zhou?"

Qianqian nodded and replied affirmatively, "Exactly."

An Wangfei frowned slightly and said thoughtfully, "I remember Fu Zhou is quite close to the border, right?"

Qianqian thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, it's indeed not too far, but not especially close either. That area seems to have been quite chaotic recently."

An Wangfei immediately asked, "Then how did you snatch that gold back?"

Qianqian curled the corners of her mouth, revealing a confident smile, and said, "I directly took people to wipe out that bandit stronghold!"

An Wangfei stared with wide eyes in surprise and asked incredulously, "You went alone? Where did you get people from?"

Qianqian was secretly delighted; she had long anticipated An Wangfei would ask this question, so she answered without hesitation, "I first went to the Dark Guard Camp and brought some people with me."

As she said this, Qianqian's gaze was exceptionally firm, showing not the slightest flaw.

An Wangfei gazed at Qianqian, seeing her gaze so sincere, the doubts in her heart gradually dissipated, and she finally chose to believe her words.

However, Yan Shuang'er and Shangguan Xingyu beside her exchanged glances, a flicker of suspicion in each other's eyes. However, they did not expose Qianqian on the spot, after all, both knew clearly that since Qianqian had returned safe and sound, there was no need to keep harping on this matter.

What if Qianqian really did something dangerous, and they accidentally let it slip, and it reached An Wangfei's ears, it would probably cause another storm.

Qianqian felt the time was about right, so she hurriedly instructed A Ming to bring out the gifts she had prepared for everyone early that morning. These gifts were carefully selected by her, everyone had a share, even Yan Jie who was away at class was not an exception.

Although Yan Jie was not at home, Qianqian still specially instructed someone to send the gifts to his courtyard.

When everyone received the gifts, they were all very happy and expressed to Qianqian that they liked them very much.

The choice of gifts was very thoughtful, everyone liked them very much, which made the originally somewhat awkward atmosphere become relaxed all at once. This matter just passed smoothly like this.

However, An Wangfei suddenly said, "Qianqian, during these days you weren't home, your Huang Bobe sent people to look for you; I'm sure he was also very worried about you. After lunch this afternoon, go to the Imperial Palace and report your safety to your Huang Bobe."

Qianqian naturally nodded repeatedly and said, "Alright, Mother, I know."

Just then, Shangguan Xingyu interjected, "Right, Qianqian, I have some good news to tell you!"

Hearing this, Qianqian asked curiously, "What good news?" Shangguan Xingyu didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "You're going to be an aunt!"

Hearing this, Qianqian immediately understood and said excitedly, "Wow, Sister-in-law is pregnant! That's great, I'm going to be an aunt! I need to think carefully about what gift to give him when my little nephew is born."

Seeing this, Shangguan Xingyu smiled and changed the subject; no one dwelled on Qianqian's previous matter anymore, but happily chatted about other topics.

Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was lunchtime. The dishes at noon today were different from usual; it turned out An Wangfei had temporarily instructed the kitchen to add a few dishes.

Although the dishes were served a little late, it did not affect the abundance of the dishes.

After lunch, Qianqian rested for a while, then took a bath to completely relax. Afterwards, she lay comfortably on the couch and entered sweet dreams.

After her nap, Qianqian was full of energy; she quickly changed her clothes, took the gift for the Emperor, mounted her beloved horse, and galloped toward the Imperial Palace like a swift wind.

Not long after, Qianqian arrived at the palace gate. She took the familiar route through the palace gate, encountered no obstruction all the way, and headed straight for the Yudi. The guards at the gate saw Qianqian and hurried forward to report. After receiving permission, Qianqian stepped into the Yudi.

Actually, the Emperor had already learned in the morning that Qianqian had returned safely. After all, he had specially dispatched Shadow Guards to secretly protect Qianqian.

When Qianqian arrived home safely, the Shadow Guards immediately returned to the palace to report to the Emperor. The Emperor thought Qianqian would probably enter the palace in the afternoon, so he also took the opportunity to take a short rest and nurture his spirit and energy.
