Ling Buyi, having found his ideal partner, immediately went to Xinghua Courtyard to inform his mother. He believed that all past suffering would eventually become distant memories, and from now on, blessings would follow. Unexpectedly, right after he spoke, Ling Yi arrived uninvited, trying to persuade Ling Buyi to reconsider. Ling Yi didn’t think highly of this engagement—after all, the Cheng family had only recently produced a military officer, and Cheng Shaoshang had a notorious reputation.
He believed it was an ill-matched union. However, to Ling Buyi, those words were deeply ironic. Back then, Ling Yi had climbed the ranks relying on his wife’s connections, and now he likely hoped to secure a glorious future through his son’s marriage. Just as Ling Buyi was about to ask him to leave, Huo Junhua suddenly appeared and started hitting Ling Yi in a frenzy. Ling Yi had no choice but to leave.
That night, Han Wu came to the ancestral hall to pay respects to the late general, filled with guilt and sorrow. After calming down, he reported his investigation to Ling Buyi, saying that the military doctor who had once served under Marquis Yue had changed his name and now lived in seclusion in Xicun village on the outskirts of the city. Han Wu planned to investigate alone and promised to return within three days.
If he encountered danger, he would leave a signal of one short and three long twigs; if safe, the signal would be two short and two long. Han Wu couldn’t understand why Ling Buyi was so eager to find the remnants of the Gucheng garrison. Upon asking, he learned that Ling Buyi already had someone in his heart. With the wedding approaching, Ling Buyi praised Cheng Shaoshang profusely.
For someone like him, trapped in the past, he ought to be alone. Yet after meeting Cheng Shaoshang, he deeply desired to spend his life with her. Meanwhile, Cheng Shaoshang, overwhelmed with emotion, stood outside. Cheng Shi and Xiao Yuanyi heard her flute playing and were filled with complicated feelings. Xiao Yuanyi never imagined her daughter would hold such a poor opinion of her.
Cheng Shaoshang must still remember what happened back then and was willing to risk her marriage just to defy her. Xiao Yuanyi wondered what could be done to truly put her at ease. Cheng Shi believed that both mother and daughter were soft-hearted despite their harsh words and were too stubborn to back down. Xiao Yuanyi didn’t blame Cheng Shaoshang; instead, she was filled with self-reproach.
Though the world was full of couples with grievances, she hoped Cheng Shaoshang and Ling Buyi would not become one of them and could love each other and grow old together in peace. The next day was the grand wedding between the Lou and He families. Yuan Shen took the initiative to visit his mother, but she remained cold and refused to attend.
Even when Wu Master brought portraits of eligible women in the city, she showed no interest and told Yuan Shen to make his own decisions—what one can do on their own should not be entrusted to others. Disappointed, Yuan Shen consoled himself that perhaps Cheng Shaoshang would envy him for having no one to restrain him. Ling Buyi sent a message to Cheng Shaoshang and took her to the Lou family celebration the next day.
He Zhaojun led Cheng Shaoshang to the side hall for the women’s banquet and no longer held grudges, treating her like a close friend. Yuan Shen constantly mocked Cheng Shaoshang in front of Ling Buyi, calling her a woman uninterested in love and focused only on calculation and strategy. Ling Buyi retaliated with sarcasm. Lou Yao, seeing the argument escalating, tried to mediate but ended up making things worse.
At the main banquet, Ling Buyi toasted Lou Ben in front of everyone, congratulating him for his meritorious service and predicting he would be promoted soon. Grand Tutor Lou subtly reminded Lou Ben not to be greedy for fame, but Ling Buyi gave Lou Ben full honor, stating that if His Majesty wanted to promote him, no one would dare object. Lou Li publicly accused Cheng Shaoshang of abandoning her cousin to choose Ling Buyi.
Cheng Shaoshang explained that her family withdrew the previous engagement to fulfill General He’s dying wish and that she accepted the Emperor’s command to be betrothed to Ling Buyi. She questioned Lou Li’s right to challenge her and her family. Wang Jin and others deliberately humiliated Cheng Shaoshang, calling her seductive and manipulative, claiming she had bewitched Ling Buyi with such shameless tricks.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yanji quickly went to the main hall and signaled Ling Buyi to assist Cheng Shaoshang. Sure enough, the Black Armored Guards appeared in the side hall in full formation, frightening the women. Ling Buyi, ignoring the gender-segregated seating, publicly defended Cheng Shaoshang. He even pushed over the screen and declared he would teach everyone proper manners and modesty. Ling Buyi loudly exposed the scandal of Wang Jin’s father and brother sharing two concubines.
Wang Jin was speechless, and the guests whispered among themselves, amazed at Cheng Shaoshang’s good fortune in having Ling Buyi’s protection. Yuan Shen was displeased by what he heard and, under the pretense of wanting to watch the commotion, deliberately spilled deer meat on those beside him, soiling their robes. Knowing that Yuan Shen was skilled in argument and hard to gain the upper hand against, others chose not to engage.
Ling Buyi continued by shaming Wang Jin and scolding Lou Li for speaking like a common woman before marriage, warning Madam Lou to teach her daughter properly. The guests showed varying expressions, clearly intimidated. Ling Buyi raised his wine cup and announced that when he and Cheng Shaoshang wed, he hoped they would all attend. The moment he said this, warm applause followed, and the finely dressed nobles and women quickly bowed and offered congratulations.
Though Ling Buyi had defended Cheng Shaoshang’s dignity, she felt it was done through power rather than reason. All their arguments and explanations paled in comparison to one sentence from Ling Buyi.
