Chapter 1488: What Godly Luck Is This?

Editor: Henyee Translations

Shao Yunduan recollected the incident, widening his eyes in astonishment. “That, that’s you!”

Meng Wanfu chuckled. “Indeed! Lord Shao, both you and Madam Shao are my saviors. Never expected to cross paths today. Fate works in mysterious ways, hahaha!”

Shao Yunduan couldn’t help but join in the laughter.

Meanwhile, Sun Bai, Sun Qian, and the others were left dumbfounded…

What kind of magical spectacle was unfolding?

...

What extraordinary stroke of luck was this?

Life, indeed, teemed with surprises!

Meng Wanfu continued, “Lord Shao’s triumph in the Primus made Madam Shao incredibly proud. She spoke highly of your village, foretelling a bright future! I remember the person who aided me was also from Shaoding Village. Truly, Shaoding Village is blessed! Little did I expect that you, Lord Shao, were that person!”

Ding Xiang chuckled. “On that note, Madam Shao is also my savior. If she hadn’t secretly provided me with food back then, I doubt I’d have had the strength to scale the wall, let alone escape!”

Emotions welled up in Ding Xiang.

Shao Yunduan, at a loss for words, could only offer a helpless expression.

After a brief exchange, Shao Yunduan gathered that their awareness of the capital’s affairs was limited. They remained oblivious to the developments between him and his wife or her involvement in Princess Shuangfu’s wedding party.

Understandably, the distant capital held little relevance to the border soldiers. They seldom concerned themselves with events in the capital, deeming them unrelated and inconsequential.

Smiling, Shao Yunduan added, “My wife is among the guests accompanying Princess Shuangfu on her journey to be wed. Initially, she was conversing with the princess and is currently with the envoys, so you —”

“Really?” Ding Xiang’s eyes sparkled with surprise and delight. “Is Madam Shao truly here? Where can I find her?”

Shao Yunduan gestured behind him, and Ding Xiang eagerly rushed toward them.

Meng Wanfu chuckled and waved at Shao Yunduan, expressing respect. “Lord Shao, please. It seems we still have a considerable distance to cover. Lord Shao, take a rest!”

Shao Yunduan nodded with a smile. “General Meng, there’s no need for such formality. I don’t possess the qualifications.”

But Meng Wanfu insisted, “You are more than worthy. Anytime, you’re worthy! Scholars like you are admirable, knowing so much, unlike me, barely literate. Besides, you’re my savior!”

Shao Yunduan countered, “General Meng, you misunderstand. Even without our assistance, you would have carved out your own path to success. We merely lent a helping hand. General Meng, let’s not bring this up again; I’m not deserving of such praise!”

Meng Wanfu laughed heartily. “Alright, let’s drop the topic! In short, if Lord Shao ever needs my assistance, just ask!”

Shao Yunduan’s thoughts turned to Qi. He contemplated seeking Meng Wanfu’s help, given that Qi was also in the area. However, broaching the subject now seemed inappropriate; he would address it in a few days.

Ding Xiang spotted a group of busy women on the hill and hastened toward them.

Initially oblivious, Lixia, Liqiu, and the others were taken aback when they saw her approaching their mistress. They quickly intercepted her.

“My lord, you—”

Ding Xiang burst into laughter and, realizing her attire, explained with a smile, “I’m a woman just like you. Please don’t stop me. Where is Madam Shao? I’m an old friend!”
