Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 1013 - 1002: The Ever-Victorious General

"I don’t want to hear your reasons. I only know that the border is dangerous. Whether you, as a woman, go to the battlefield or not, it’s extremely perilous." Mei Wanwan said with a serious face, "You’ve been competitive and unwilling to admit defeat since childhood. Do you really think you can deceive me and your Second Sister-in-law? Are you truly going to stand by and watch the barbarians who killed your parents and brother without taking action?"

"Elder Sister-in-law, it’s beyond my control now. The Emperor wants me to go. Rest assured, I will definitely take care of myself and return safely, alright?" Ye Qiu immediately knelt down.

With her parents gone, the elder sister-in-law acts like a mother. Since these two sisters-in-law married into her family, they have cared for her deeply. So in her heart, they are like elders. She kowtowed deeply, "Elder Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, please let me go! Even if I reluctantly stay in the capital, the Ye Family’s days will not be easy. Do you want me, Mumu, and Second Sister-in-law’s unborn child to be criticized by others in the future?"

"It’s fate!" Mei Wanwan closed her eyes in pain, "This is all fate. Why does the border have such enmity with the Ye Family?"

"Get up, please. Your going is also for your second brother. I, as a sister-in-law, should thank you," Lin Jiao lifted Ye Qiu and looked at her intently, "If you are determined to go, your elder sister-in-law and I cannot stop you. But remember what you said, you must return safely. We are just secluded women, and your nephew is still young. If something really happens to you, there will be no one to bring back your remains, and you will become a lonely ghost, understand?"

Although her Second Sister-in-law’s words were harsh, Ye Qiu knew they were out of concern for her, wanting her to understand the importance of returning safely.

"Second Sister-in-law, I’m not foolish. I still want to see your child grow up safely. Don’t worry, I will definitely bring Second Brother home intact!"

"Okay." Lin Jiao said with a choked voice, then gently caressed Ye Qiu’s cheek, "Does it hurt? Why didn’t you resist when I hit you just now? Silly child, how can I not be worried about you..."

"It doesn’t hurt. You know I have thick skin and flesh." Ye Qiu foolishly smiled, "You go lie down and rest. The emotions today were too overwhelming; don’t harm yourself and the baby in your belly."

"He’s still obedient." Lin Jiao placed her hand on her belly and was again lost in thought, not knowing if it was a boy or a girl. Unfortunately, the child’s father could not wait for the child’s birth.

"What a situation..." Mei Wanwan sighed, turned, and walked out. Ye Qiu was about to head to the battlefield, and there was still a lot for her, the head of the household, to prepare. Since she couldn’t prevent it, she had to prepare a strong support for her sister-in-law to have no worries.

The next day, just as Ye Qiu had said, an imperial decree arrived at the Ye Residence. She was appointed as a Fourth-rank General Dewei, but it did not specify which troops she would command or what her mission at the border would be. Accompanying her was Great General Huang Jiang, clearly to let Ye Qiu surrender and to exploit the Ye Family’s name for Huang Jiang to take command.

It was the valiant and loyal Ye Family Army. The old Emperor and Huang Jiang wanted to use her to take power, but that wouldn’t be easy. The first to disagree would be her.

The imperial decree demanded an immediate departure, showing their impatience for power.

Ye Qiu sneered coldly. They underestimated her as a mere girl coming of age. She would make them regret underestimating her!

"Before I return, close the doors of the Ye Residence to visitors. The court is unstable now. If some things don’t go as certain people wish, they may resort to desperate measures." Ye Qiu instructed before leaving.

"Don’t worry. With your Second Sister-in-law and me at home, there won’t be any problems. Go ahead, but remember, no matter what happens, your first priority is to preserve your own life." Mei Wanwan said earnestly.

Lin Jiao also added, "Listen to your elder sister-in-law. Life is the most important thing. We don’t care about reputation or anything else. Even if your second brother doesn’t come back, it doesn’t matter. Though your second brother will not see his child born, you must raise this child in his stead."

"Yes, I will comply with the orders of my two sisters-in-law!" Ye Qiu cupped her hands in respect, then looked at her stubbornly staring little nephew, Ye Mu, kneeling beside him, "While Auntie is away, you are the only one in the family trained in martial arts. Remember to protect your mother and aunt. If anything happens to them, I will hold you accountable when I return."

"I’m a man. I will definitely protect this family!" Ye Mu said loudly, but being young, he was unwilling to part with the aunt who raised him, and in a faint sob, he said, "Aunt, you must come back safely."

"I will." Ye Qiu gently patted his head, "When I return, I’ll test your lessons and martial arts. If I find you’re slacking, military law will be your punishment."

"I won’t slack off." He promised loudly.

"Good boy, I believe in you."

Ye Qiu stood up, mounted her horse, "Sisters-in-law, Ye Qiu is leaving now. Take care of yourselves, and I’ll send news back every month."

"She really went to the border. Ye Qiu is quite boastful. Her parents and brothers perished there, and she thinks she can change the world?" In a private room of a luxurious restaurant by the street, a young woman opened the window, watching Ye Qiu ride by, with a sneering smile.

"Stop saying such things. She’s now a heroine among women, highly praised by the people. Be careful what you say." Another woman, steady in demeanor, didn’t move as if everything was under her control.

"Am I supposed to be afraid of her?" The young woman snorted, "It’s uncertain whether she can even return, and even if she does, what merit can she achieve as a mere woman?"

She smiled maliciously, "I heard the border customs are coarse, and regardless of whether they’re barbarians or the men who’ve lived there long, they look at women as wolves look at meat. Though Ye Qiu can’t compare to Sister Wenjun, she’s moderately attractive, certainly seen as a Heavenly Immortal by the men there. Will she return with her honor intact?"

The woman referred to as Sister Wenjun remained unmoved, her eyes sparkling, "After all, she’s the Eldest Lady of the Ye Family, and with the Ye Family Army protecting her, she should be alright."

"Sister Wenjun, you always think too highly of people. Honestly, you’re a thousand times better than Ye Qiu. Why is her reputation more prominent than yours?"

"It’s merely fame. You know, I never care about these things. Besides, Ye Qiu deserves it. Her parents and brothers died for our Darong Dynasty. Little girl, don’t say such things in the future. She’s a hero’s daughter, incomparable to us."

"But..."

"No buts. The play’s over, should we head back?"

"Sister Wenjun, you’re too kind to keep out of the limelight. Otherwise, where would Ye Qiu have her prestige in the capital? Military merit is esteemed, but doesn’t Uncle Prime Minister also significantly contribute to the court?"

"After all, it’s a troubled time."

"Hmph... I’m just unwilling."
