The mother-in-law was still alarmed, even though she could understand everything in the weapons manual.

Although Chang Lili loved tinkering with these things, she couldn't imagine that this was made by a beginner.

"See this? The Chang Family Weapon Manual! This was written by Meng Yuxiu himself. This is his affirmation of me, which means that this weapon manual was written by Chang Lili of the Chang family!" Her smile was radiant, as if she were radiating light.

But her mother-in-law's eyes welled up with tears.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Chang Lili asked anxiously.

The mother-in-law shook her head, wiped away her tears, and said, "It's nothing, I'm just happy. I never expected our Lili to be so amazing."

"Then don't cry either." Chang Lili wiped away her tears as well.

The mother-in-law stared at Chang Lili, lost in thought. She laughed self-deprecatingly, realizing that she had indeed been wrong before.

Some things, even if you change your name or leave your hometown, the things that are ingrained in your blood and bones can never be changed.

She felt deeply that all of this was predestined, and now she only hoped that Chang Lili could continue to be as happy and joyful as she was today, living a peaceful life.

Chang Lili was always extremely diligent in the military manufacturing department, and she always arrived very early every day.

When she arrived at the Armory today, there were very few people there, which seemed rather strange.

The tools and blacksmith's table, which were arranged in order, seemed to have been moved, with an extra table and a set of tools added.

Chang Lili's first reaction was that a new person had arrived at the military manufacturing department, but she didn't know if it was a man or a woman, old or young.

She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, realizing that she hadn't been there long, yet she was already a senior and had to welcome the juniors.

But she waited and waited for a long time, until all the people from the military manufacturing department had arrived, but she didn't see any new juniors.

Around noon, a seemingly otherworldly young nobleman appeared in the bustling military workshop.

He entered through the main gate with steady steps. No one knew his identity, but they consciously stepped aside and respectfully made way for him.

The elegant young nobleman in white walked straight to the empty blacksmith's table and began to work as if it were his due.

There was a buzzing of whispers all around, but no one dared to say anything loud.

This young nobleman looked somewhat thin, with a gentle and refined demeanor that was tinged with a hint of coldness. He had handsome features, but his face was expressionless.

Even the three experienced masters didn't know where he came from, but everyone tacitly understood and didn't say anything or dare to look at him too much.

After all, this person was sent by his superiors, and they were told not to bother him. Judging from his demeanor, he must be both rich and powerful.

Although Chang Lili was curious, she wasn't one to cause trouble, so she continued to bury herself in her work.

By noon, Meng Yuxiu surprisingly didn't come. Chang Lili found it strange, but also felt rather bored.

"He's probably too busy; important people are always busy." She nodded, convinced that this was the case.

"Lili? Sister Lili?" a low, crisp voice rang out.

Chang Lili turned around and saw Lu Ming hiding behind a blacksmith's platform, peeking out her head.

"Who are you? Don't get in my way!" the blacksmith in front of the forge said impatiently.

While Chang Lili was speechless, she reached out and pulled Lu Ming out: "What are you doing hiding there?"

Lu Ming looked flustered: "I saw General Meng when I came to see you a few days ago. I... he didn't come today, did he?"

"Why didn't you come? What's wrong? Are you afraid of the general? Your general isn't some jackal or tiger, why are you so afraid of him?" Chang Lili asked, puzzled.

"Sister Lili, you're a good person. I'm not afraid to tell you, but I'm actually a girl. I want to be as powerful as my father, so I dress up as a man. You must keep this a secret for me. I've only told you. Please don't tell the General." Lu Ming whispered nervously in Chang Lili's ear.

Chang Lili was speechless for a long time before saying in a calm voice, "So... you're a woman. I really didn't realize."

"Am I a good liar?" Lu Ming's small face was rosy with white teeth, and her bright eyes were full of anticipation.

Chang Lili sincerely praised, "Yes, I believe few people could tell that you were pretending."

Seeing Lu Ming's happy expression, Chang Lili thought to himself, "Even a fool could tell that Lu Ming is a woman."

"Sister Lili, what's with this strange person here?"

"Strange person?" Chang Lili followed Lu Ming's gaze and saw the young nobleman in white, with his thin back.

The military manufacturing plant was a noisy place, but he felt as if he were in a quiet place, his surroundings forming a world of their own, separated from the hustle and bustle.

Dressed in white, her every move exuded elegance and grace, like a flawless piece of jade fallen to earth.

“It’s really strange that I don’t know who they are,” Chang Lili said.

The young nobleman turned around, a gentle breeze ruffling his ink-black hair and pristine white robes, revealing a cool and aloof expression on his handsome face.

Lu Ming stared at him with her mouth slightly open, saying dreamily, "Sister Lili, he's so handsome."

Chang Lili couldn't help but take a few more glances: "It is indeed quite beautiful."

Meng Yuxiu's face appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but feel that Meng Yuxiu was more handsome.

"What's Lili's name? Where is he from? How old is he? Is he married?" Lu Ming grabbed Chang Lili's arm and bombarded her with questions.

"Huh?" Chang Lili was stunned by the question and looked at Lu Ming in surprise.

"Tell me quickly, tell me quickly!" Lu Ming said impatiently, her toes fidgeting restlessly.

"How would I know? I haven't even spoken to him. Why are you asking these questions? You wouldn't be..." Chang Lili was reluctant to think that way.

But Lu Ming's shy expression confirmed her thoughts.

"No, I just... just asking..." The young girl blushed with love.

“What…what do you see in him? Look at him, he can’t lift a finger, he’s all soft and delicate. Don’t you like someone like your father? Tall, strong, and brave!” Chang Lili was almost about to blurt out, “Like Meng Yuxiu.”

Lu Ming puffed out her cheeks and said, "What's wrong with him? Look at him, he looks like a scholar. Of course, scholars can't get along with us rough guys. My father is good, but... but I think he's good the way he is."

She blushed shyly as she finished speaking.

Chang Lili shook her head, feeling there was no hope.

"Lili, let's go talk to him, let's ask him his name!" Lu Ming pulled Chang Lili and walked over there.

Chang Lili, however, was unwilling. She could tell that this person was not simple, and it was better not to have any interaction with him.

"Let's not do that, it would be too unreserved of us."

At this moment, the young nobleman picked up a red-hot branding iron, placed it on the blacksmith's table, rolled up his sleeves, and swung the hammer, laboriously hammering the iron block.

Her fair face flushed slightly, and her movements were clumsy, making her look like she was struggling.
