Tang Li had come to send them off, but Han Yunxi had already cloistered herself in the carriage and refused to come out. She’d given Long Feiye a warning glare that morning with the scarf wrapped around her neck--a clear sign that she didn’t want to see anybody.

Actually, Tang Li had wanted to secretly ask Han YUnxi for a few more medicines or poisons. Unfortunately, he didn’t dare call her out with Long Feiye blocking the way. Once the couple left, Tang Li hurried back up the mountain again. The first morning after her wedding day, the bride was supposed to offer tea to her parents-in-law. He had already discussed things with his mother to have her play the villain and torment Ning Jing while he played the hero protecting her. Even if he couldn’t subdue Ning Jing within a year, she’d at least stick to him for his protection alone. The tea offering ceremony would start with his mother’s bullying, so he had to hurry back and make preparations.

Meanwhile, Han Yunxi and Long Feiye were still keeping tabs on their situation despite leaving the Tang Clan. It wasn’t for the sake of gossip, but because she needed a definite answer on the status of Ning Jing’s dowry. As expected, Long Feiye’s agent in the Tang Clan brought them news by noon on the same day. Ning Jing really had made the arms trade agreements part of her dowry. Han Yunxi read the detailed letter without knowing whether to laugh or cry.

It had also included a meticulous account of Ning Jing’s greetings to her new in-laws this morning. Before Lady Tang had a chance to bully her, the girl had already carried out her dowry and given a show of force. It was nothing else but a Cloud Realm Continent approved arms trade token at the president’s level. Ning Jing had said she was capable of raising herself and didn’t need the Tang Clan’s support. After that, the two women had devolved into a war of words. Tang Li never had the chance to defend his wife against his mother because...Lady Tang had lost the fight!

“What is it?” Long Feiye asked.

“I don’t know if Tang Li can handle Ning Jing,” Han Yunxi said as she handed over the letter.

Long Feiye glanced over the contents before he laughed. “A good loss.”

“What do you mean?” Han Yunxi was clueless. “She lost on purpose?”

“Since she lost, Tang Zijin will treat this seriously and strengthen Tang Li’s seat as clan head.”

Han Yunxi immediately understood and sighed with emotion. “Just how many times must Tang Li have kowtowed to Buddha in his last life, to be blessed with a mother like her in this one!”

Since Lady Tang had lost to Ning Jing, Tang Zijin would undoubtedly fret and support Tang Li more. Whether it was authority or wealth--or even armed strength--he’d use it all to defend against Ning Jing. In this way, Tang Li would be the clan head in both status and name. Lady Tang had done everything like so just for her son’s sake.

Tang Li won’t suffer any losses with Lady Tang there, Han Yunxi mused to herself. Long Feiye simply went back to being quiet. Tang Li really was a lucky fellow. His mother had always cleaned up his messes no matter how many big mistakes or hot potatoes he’d touched. She would never allow Tang Li to fight or take something by force when she could ensure he had a peaceful and happy life.

“What are thinking about?” Han Yunxi asked. She never thought Long Feiye could space out, too.

“Nothing,” Long Feiye said, before drawing her gently into his arms. One of his hands patted her rhythmically on the back as he thought of other things.
