A whirlwind marriage: The real heiress marries a warlord.

Qin Yan slept soundly through the night.

She was too tired.

When I woke up, I heard voices coming from the doorway.

"My grandmother is hospitalized. I went out of town a few days ago and only came back yesterday," the young man said.

"What's wrong with the old lady again?"

"As people get older, they often feel unwell. This time it's chest pain, and my father is worried. The army doctor said she has some heart problems, but there's nothing that can be done, so he told her children and grandchildren to take care of her," the man said.

Cheng Tianxun sneered: "What do you mean by that? Are you saying it to me, or to my wife?"

"Tianxun, what's wrong with you? What did I do to offend you?"

The military doctor came to check on the patients, interrupting their conversation.

Cheng Tianxun returned to the ward, carrying a food box in his hand.

The military doctor examined Qin Yan and took her pulse, saying she was fine.

Cheng Tianxun put down the food box: "Mom had the adjutant bring this over. Are you hungry? If you are, get up, wash up, and eat."

Qin Yan: "I'm a little hungry."

She glanced at the time; it was already nine in the morning. She had overslept.

"Are you free this morning?" she asked.

Cheng Tianxun: "Going to the military government would only mean getting scolded, I'm too lazy to listen. But I have something to do this afternoon, I'll have lunch before I leave."

He then asked, "Did you hear what Lan Zheng said just now?"

Qin Yan nodded.

She went to wash up.

Upon returning and sitting down, Qin Yan found that Cheng Tianxun had already set out breakfast. Qin Yan said, "Young Marshal..."

She wanted to talk about the old lady of the Lan family.

The old lady had a weak heart and was quite old, so Qin Yan had no intention of getting entangled with them. They weren't important people.

This is a double loss.

Nobody benefits from this.

Qin Yan was isolated and helpless. Even though Lan Changming was wary of her, he had still offered her some protection. Why did she have to go to such extremes?

She received her dowry, and her feud with the Lan family was finally settled.

Cheng Tianxun handed her chopsticks: "Don't say anything cowardly to me, I don't like it. I hate people who back down before the battle even begins."

"This isn't a battlefield; no one has declared war on me," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun wasn't annoyed; he simply asked, "Have you thought it through?"

Qin Yan nodded.

Cheng Tianxun: "Stay a few more days as planned, and go home only after you're sure everything's alright. Don't flatter yourself; who said you'd affect the old lady's condition?"

Qin Yan paused, then nodded: "You're right."

"Have a meal."

There was a delicious snack at breakfast. There were four in total, and when Qin Yan was eating her second piece, Cheng Tianxun gave her the remaining two.

Qin Yan was hospitalized not only because she was worried about her own safety, but also because she wanted to gain sympathy for Cheng Tianxun; she would have to stay for at least three to five days.

It's impossible for her to leave early just because the old lady of the Lan family was also there.

Therefore, her goal is greatly diminished, and it's not worth it.

The military hospital was bustling with activity that day.

The wives of high-ranking military officers are all shrewd and capable. Some came to visit the young marshal's wife, while others visited the old lady of the Lan family. They came in an endless stream.

However, both families turned away most visitors.

The sales pitches are all similar.

"The military doctor said I need to rest quietly and can't stand any noise."

"It's nothing serious, you just need to rest."

Cheng Tianxun's adjutant came and went quietly, delivering some documents; Qin Yan's secretary, Ling Manyun, also came to inquire about his illness and to deliver some clerks from the newspaper.

The ward was quiet, and the couple worked in silence.

Downstairs, in the ward of the elderly Mrs. Lan, things were quite lively, with voices and laughter coming from time to time; even though most people were prevented from visiting, relatives and friends still came to visit the old lady.

Qin Yan turned a deaf ear.

Cheng Tianxun was engrossed in his own affairs and didn't pay any attention to her.

Just then, the voice of Lieutenant Qian came from the doorway: "Young Marshal, the Fifth Young Master and the Sixth Miss wish to visit the Young Madam."

Cheng Tianxun didn't even look up: "I don't have time to see them."

Qin Yan knew that they were talking about Xiang Linchuan and Xiang Linzi, so he said, "I'm a little tired from reading the documents and want to rest. Please call Linzi in."

"You'll be even more tired if she comes in."

"Not really, she's quite interesting," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun: "You find everyone interesting."

A piece of wood might be more vibrant than her.

"Not everyone is interesting; there are exceptions," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun looked up: "Who?"

"Mr."

Cheng Tianxun immediately said, "Anyway, it wasn't me. I'm a very witty person."

Qin Yan: "..."

Xiang Linchuan and Xiang Linzi, brother and sister, entered, seemingly bringing in three hundred ducks. Their voices immediately filled the ward.

With Cheng Tianxun added to the mix, the three of them were all incredibly sharp-tongued, constantly bickering.

Qin Yan, the "master," felt completely superfluous.

Xiang Linzi tried to sow discord among Cheng Tianxun: "Sister-in-law, you got hurt because of your second brother. A husband like that is better off without."

No, if she doesn't exist, then this celestial sister-in-law no longer belongs to her.

Xiang Linzi changed her tone, "Tell him to buy you a gift to make you happy. Buy him a set of sapphire jewelry; you'll definitely look beautiful in it."

In Xiang Linzi's eyes, her sister-in-law was a goddess from an icy, snowy region, and Lan Bao was like a lake under a blue sky, pure and beautiful, the perfect match for her.

"If you don't have time, give me the money and I'll buy it for you," Xiang Linzi added.

Her rapid-fire sentences left no room for anyone to interrupt.

"You keep calling me 'sister-in-law' so affectionately, why don't you marry Cheng Tianyu and become cousins ​​and sisters-in-law?" Cheng Tianxun said casually.

Xiang Linzi scoffed, "Me, interested in that kind of pretty boy?"

"Right, she doesn't like pretty boys," Xiang Linchuan laughed from the side. "She only likes to get beaten up."

Cheng Tianxun: "She hasn't given up on me yet?"

Xiang Linzi's face darkened.

She pressed down on the gourd, causing it to float up, and frantically tried to stop it from moving.

First, he stopped Xiang Linchuan, saying, "Don't you have any secrets with me? If you dare to expose my secrets again, don't blame me for letting you off the hook. Grandfather and Uncle will definitely kill you then."

Then he said to Cheng Tianxun, "If you don't want your thick skin anymore, use it to plaster the city walls; it can stop cannon fire."

The ward fell silent for a brief moment.

Xiang Linzi fought two opponents and won a great victory.

"Lin Zi has a great speaking ability. If you want to be the chief writer, you can definitely do it," Qin Yan said.

Xiang Linzi was overjoyed: "Really?"

She was somewhat discouraged, "I'm afraid my grandfather won't agree."

"The chief writer can use a pen name, and even your grandfather might not know it was you," Qin Yan said.

Xiang Linzi's eyes lit up a little.

After arguing for an hour, Cheng Tianxun couldn't stand it anymore and kicked them both out.

It's quiet around me.

Qin Yan felt as if he had returned from bright sunlight to a dark and silent basement.

"...Lin Zi doesn't like the Third Young Marshal, so you and Mom can rest assured," Qin Yan said.

Cheng Tianxun: "I know."

"Has she found someone she likes?"

"Didn't Lin Chuan make it very clear just now? If she dares to take another step, her family will break her legs." Cheng Tianxun.

Qin Yan didn't understand: "Where is the 'understanding' in this sentence?"

Cheng Tianxun: "Without a doubt, she's taken a liking to Cen Yan. I said last time that she was being too pretentious with Cen Yan; all women in love are like that."

Qin Yan: "..."

Cen Yan was an adopted son of the Xiang family.

Often, secular identity is more important than bloodline identity because people live in groups.

Whether it's the Xiang family or the general public, Xiang Linzi's "outrageous" behavior is shocking and unconventional.

The Xiang family wields immense power, and Cen Yan, having risen to his current position as an orphan, would never give it up for a woman.

Not to mention her parents would beat her, Cen Yan probably would too.
