Hidden Marriage: Spoiled by the Imperial Commander
Chapter 247: All Fake?

Chapter 247: Chapter 247: All Fake?

"I’m here to pick up Old Lady Yan." Pei Yuexuan’s gaze swept upstairs.

Seeing Mu Yunlie and Yan Qianyi on the corridor, he made a gesture to his subordinates before heading upstairs with his team.

The Military’s personal retrieval was commanding and intense—Yan Hong couldn’t stop them, nor did he dare to.

Pei Yuexuan quickly reached the upper floor, took off his military cap, and spoke very humbly, "Sister-in-law, I heard from Ah Lie that Old Lady Yan is ill."

Yan Qianyi nodded, "It’s really embarrassing to trouble you with this visit."

Pei Yuexuan smiled, "What’s there to be polite about? Ah Lie and I are like brothers. Just squeak if you need any help."

"Then cut the small talk," Mu Yunlie said, "She’s inside the room, be gentle with her, don’t hurt the old lady."

"Don’t worry, these two are medical soldiers, very experienced."

"Vice Officer Pei, this way please." Yan Qianyi hurriedly led the way.

The two medical soldiers carefully placed Old Lady Yan on a stretcher and carried her down the stairs.

Yan Hong didn’t dare to block them, he could only watch as his own mother was taken away.

Even the usually domineering Han Yarong stood silently to the side, not daring to breathe too loud.

The two neat rows of soldiers in the living room all had guns slung over their shoulders.

Yan Qianyi’s cold gaze swept over Yan Hong and the others before he followed them out.

Then the soldiers departed.

One military vehicle after another drove off into the distance.

The outside was already surrounded by neighbors drawn to the commotion.

Their chatter filtered into the house.

"Wow, Old Lady Yan has such a grand exit! To think the Military personally came to take her for treatment!"

"I heard it’s because of the Yan Family’s young miss."

"Yan Qianyi? I’ve always thought that girl was special, clearly not a common person."

"My nephew is at the Federation Military Academy too, and he said Qianyi is very outstanding at school!"

"The Yan Family has really raised a good daughter."

"And a good son too! Yan Yao married a princess from the Morris Empire, and now that she’s become queen, he’s practically a prince!"

"The ancestors of the Yan Family must be spewing blue smoke from their graves."

"If I were Yan Hong, why bother with business? Just enjoy the good life with my son and daughter."

"Don’t you know? His son and daughter have cut off relations with him."

"Really?"

"Of course, otherwise why would Yan Qianyi move out?"

"Tsk, it’s such a shame..."

Han Yarong snapped back to reality, her face ashen as she yelled at the maid, "What are you standing around for! Close the main gate, it’s deafening!"

Mr. Yan leaned on the armrest of the sofa, his body slumping into a seat.

He was truly scared to death just now!

The sudden arrival of so many soldiers—he thought he had committed some offense.

"It’s all because of your lousy idea!" Yan Hong glared at Yan Ruyi, "Now we’ve offended Qianyi again!"

Yan Ruyi bit her lip and said nothing.

The plan had failed, they had become a laughingstock to the neighbors, and now she wanted to kill Yan Qianyi more than ever.

Han Yarong was utterly perplexed, "Why are Vice Officer Pei and Mu Yunlie so close? To the point where they would deploy troops for a personal matter."

They knew that Vice Officer Pei and Mu Yunlie were friends, but they hadn’t expected Vice Officer Pei to go to such lengths for Mu Yunlie.

"I’m going to file a complaint with the Military Department!" Yan Ruyi ground her teeth, "Vice Officer Pei is misusing the military for personal reasons to help a friend, which is against the rules!"

"Who are you going to complain to?" Yan Hong sneered coldly, "If he dares to do this, he must be confident! Don’t forget, he is the Commander’s trusted aide. If the Commander protects him, what good will your complaint do?"

"Then I’ll complain to the Commander-in-Chief!" Yan Ruyi clenched her skirt tightly, "I’ve heard the Commander-in-Chief is a very strict person. He might not even know his subordinate is abusing military power for personal matters!"

Han Yarong nodded, "Right, complain to the Commander-in-Chief!"

"You should see if you can even meet the Commander-in-Chief first!" Yan Hong rolled his eyes and got up to go upstairs.

He would never have listened to Yan Ruyi’s bad idea if he had known it would end up like this.

In the end, not only did he fail to get the medical secret recipe from Yan Qianyi, but he also offended her again!

Yan Qianyi had held grudges since she was a child, and now it seemed that the relationship between him and his daughter wouldn’t be repaired anytime soon.

After settling Old Lady Yan, Yan Qianyi saw Pei Yuexuan out.

"Vice Officer Pei, thank you for today."

"Sister-in-law, why are you being polite with me again? If you keep acting like this, I’m going to get angry."

"Vice Officer Pei, please call me Qianyi in the future, don’t call me sister-in-law." Yan Qianyi felt somewhat awkward.

Vice Officer Pei was older than her and held a higher military rank. Being called ’sister-in-law’ felt uncomfortable to her.

"Alright, Qianyi, then you’re not allowed to be formal with me either. If you need anything, just call me." Pei Yuexuan glanced back into the house, "By the way, I know the Masked Divine Doctor. If Old Lady Yan needs anything, I can ask the Masked Divine Doctor to come over and help."

He was proud when he said he knew the Masked Divine Doctor.

Yan Qianyi was puzzled, she didn’t know she and Vice Officer Pei were acquainted.

Could it be that one of her frequent fan contacts was Vice Officer Pei?

"My wife is knowledgeable in medical skills, no need to worry on your part," Mu Yunlie urged, "You’re no longer needed here, get going."

He really couldn’t stand Pei Yuexuan’s smug look.

Even less could he stand seeing him act so endearing and ingratiating in front of Qianyi.

After finding out Mu Yunlie was Nangong Jie’s grandson, it was no wonder to Yan Qianyi now that Mu Yunlie treated Pei Yuexuan so poorly.

The principal had told her that, among the students at the Federation Military Academy, the last person to be personally received by Lord Commander was none other than Pei Yuexuan.

That is, Nangong Jie had personally met with Pei Yuexuan.

Therefore, Pei Yuexuan was promoted by Nangong Jie himself.

After Pei Yuexuan left, Yan Qianyi turned to Mu Yunlie, "Thank you for today."

"As your nominal husband, this is what I should do. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Looking into his gentle eyes, Yan Qianyi felt warmth in her heart.

Then she suddenly thought of something, and the smile on her face faded.

After a moment of hesitation, she said, "No, there isn’t. And don’t do these things for me again in the future. From now on... apart from antidote administration, let’s minimize our interactions."

Mu Yunlie was taken aback.

Was she burning the bridge after crossing it?

His brooding brows furrowed, "Why?"

"Why do you think?" Yan Qianyi feigned indifference, "Once our wedding date is reached, we’re going to get divorced. I’ve said before, the person I want to spend my life with isn’t you, so we might as well not waste each other’s time."

"But these past few days we..."

"It was all fake. I just didn’t want my brother to worry about my marriage."

Mu Yunlie’s expression turned utterly cold, with a frown creasing his brow, "All fake?"
