However, Lu Zhengjun had also realized that there were some things he could no longer hide. Fortunately, these were his brothers with whom he had risked his life, and he could trust them, so there was no harm in telling them.
Well... it's a bit embarrassing.
"Zhengjun, how could you do this? It's one thing if they don't know, but I didn't know either! You even kept it from me, and now Zhang Yufeng knows before me, how dare you!?"
Zhang Yufeng: "..."
"Zhao Yunshan, what do you mean by that?! I take back my vote! I take it back!"
"It's too late for you to take it back now."
"Alright, let's find a place to celebrate Yunshan's success, and then I'll tell you all about it slowly," Lu Zhengjun said helplessly.
The group left arm in arm.
While they went off to find a place to celebrate with great laughter, Liu Dekai couldn't laugh at all.
He never imagined that something he thought was a sure thing would fall through like this.
Tan Yongjie, who had no background whatsoever, actually defeated him and became the one promoted to battalion commander this time.
On what grounds?
Liu Dekai was extremely unwilling to accept this; he was filled with resentment and had nowhere to vent it.
But when he thought of Commander Liu's sharp words at the meeting, he really didn't dare to go to his father-in-law. After all, he didn't think his father-in-law would openly oppose Commander Liu for his own sake.
The more Liu Dekai thought about it, the more depressed he became. He watched Lu Zhengjun leave happily with his brothers, and his eyes were full of hatred and scheming as he looked at Lu Zhengjun's back.
Lu Zhengjun played a crucial role in his defeat this time.
He certainly saw Lu Zhengjun leading the vote for Tan Yongjie, and after he raised his hand, several regimental commanders, deputy regimental commanders and battalion commanders followed suit. Wasn't this clearly targeting him?
As for why Lu Zhengjun would target him, he couldn't think of any other reason besides Su Yueya's pillow talk.
Su Yueya...
Liu Dekai clenched his fists; he would never let this go!
Lu Zhengjun went home first and told Su Yueya that he was going to celebrate with his brothers that night.
“Crescent Moon, if you feel lonely eating alone at home, why don’t you go back to your parents’ house for dinner?” Lu Zhengjun couldn’t completely ignore his brother. “My brother-in-law got promoted today too. I wonder if he’ll eat at home or go out to celebrate.”
"Big brother got promoted!" Su Yueya's eyes lit up. That's wonderful! "Okay, then I'll go back to my parents' home to see him."
"By the way, Liu Dekai was not selected today," Lu Zhengjun said casually, while silently observing Su Yueya's reaction.
"Really?" Su Yueya laughed, thinking this was karma. "His father-in-law didn't help?"
Isn't this exactly why Liu Dekai married Mo Youyou?
Su Yueya didn't believe Mo Cheng wouldn't help.
"Of course I helped, but I lent more money to other people, like your mom, my dad, and your older brother. He couldn't win by using connections."
"Serves you right," Su Yueya said coldly.
She couldn't help but recall the time when Zhang Cuihua had begged her for help.
Just as she had thought, even if she didn't cause trouble in the army and expose Liu Dekai's true colors, his path in the army wouldn't be as smooth as before.
However, Su Yueya did not sympathize with him.
Seeing Su Yueya's attitude, Lu Zhengjun was finally relieved.
"Alright, you go celebrate with your brother. I'm going to my parents' house later, so don't worry about me," Su Yueya said with a smile.
"Okay." Only then did Lu Zhengjun leave with peace of mind.
Zhao Yunshan booked a restaurant on a street not far from the family compound, and Zhang Yufeng and the others had already arrived.
Since it's a celebration and a gathering of brothers, there will definitely be plenty of alcohol.
"We're drinking until we drop tonight!" Zhang Yunshan declared confidently, patting his chest. "I'm paying, so drink as much as you want. Don't try to save me, a bachelor, money!"
Wei Jinxiang immediately rolled his eyes at him, "I'm not a bachelor. If I go home drunk, my wife will beat me to death."
"That's right, we were not selected. Can you please understand how we feel?" Liu Qi pretended to be sad and upset.
"Get lost! Which eye of yours can see that you're sad?" Zhao Yunshan said rudely.
Lu Zhengjun entered the private room at this moment.
Seeing him arrive, Zhang Yufeng quickly said, "The Emperor is here! Quick, quick, let's interrogate him while we drink!"
"Zhengjun, you're so unfair! Why are you keeping everything from us?" Zhao Yunshan said unhappily.
Originally, he knew the most about Su Yueya.
But today he heard that Qiao Shouyan had become Lu Zhengjun's brother-in-law, and he was furious because he didn't know that before.
"Don't be angry. I only knew about it half an hour earlier than you. I told you in the meeting room." Zhang Yufeng quickly stopped Zhao Yunshan, who was about to explode, so as not to delay him from listening to the important matter.
"Brother, what's going on?" Liu Qi asked.
Lu Zhengjun knew that if she didn't confess today, she might not be able to leave this private room.
Even if it's embarrassing, he has no choice but to accept it.
"This is what happened..."
He first talked about Su Yueya's amnesia and their marriage, accompanied by Zhao Yunshan's various "additions," leaving the other three stunned.
"Your Majesty, you are both highly skilled and daring!"
"At first I just thought you were an unyielding tree blooming, but now I see you've blossomed into a huge flower, amazing, truly amazing!"
"Then how did your sister-in-law become Commander Liu's daughter?" Zhao Yunshan asked again.
"Commander Liu also has a daughter who works at the military hospital. She occasionally teaches at Wenxiu Medical College. Yueya is currently taking classes at Wenxiu Medical College—"
“Yes, I know about this. My mom even helped me find the information,” Zhang Yufeng interjected.
