My brother-in-law was such a good person, how could he have died?
Isn't he a top soldier?!
Qiao Shouyan couldn't understand it either. He remembered that before Lu Zhengjun went on her mission, they were sparring, and he was no match for Lu Zhengjun at all.
Compared to before, Lu Zhengjun herself has made great progress. Even so, she still sacrificed herself during the mission. Just how dangerous was this mission?
Most importantly, what about Su Yueya?
Are you suggesting that his sister become a widow?
However, once a person is dead, they are dead, and he couldn't bring Lu Zhengjun back to life.
"Alright, Crescent Moon, stop crying now. Be good, or your eyes will get damaged," Qiao Gaoyang advised.
He thought to himself, "He's really having a tough time. The first person to have a hard time in the family is Su Yueya, and the second one has to be him!"
"So what if I'm blind? I'm already dead, what difference does it make if I'm blind or not?" Su Yueya said defiantly.
"Crescent Moon, you mustn't say that!" Qiao Shouyan said sternly. "The dead cannot be brought back to life, but you can't abandon those who are still alive. If you don't care about yourself, what will your parents do? What will Zhengjun's parents do?!"
Su Yueya: "..."
That's just acting!
"Waaaaah, Lu Zhengjun..." Su Yueya continued to cry.
Forget it, she should just talk less and cry more.
Crying is definitely the right thing to do.
Liu Yuying happened to be off work today and stayed at home. She hadn't received the news of Lu Zhengjun's sacrifice yet, but then she saw her two sons and two daughters return home at the same time during their work hours, all with somber expressions.
"Why are you all here at this time—"
Liu Yuying only got halfway through her sentence before she saw Su Yueya crying so hard she was almost breathless.
"Crescent Moon, what's wrong?" Liu Yuying asked as she stepped forward.
Her eyes were fixed on the weeping Su Yueya, but she asked about her other three children.
"Mom! Waaah..." Su Yueya cried out, throwing herself from her second brother's arms onto her mother and wailing.
Now that her second brother has arrived, she can leave the explaining and talking to him, and she can just cry in peace.
Crying is never wrong, but speaking is not always acceptable.
If you're not careful, it could become a loophole.
Let's leave it to Second Brother!
Qiao Gaoyang took on this "heavy responsibility" very consciously and informed his mother with a sorrowful expression.
"Mom, news came from the army that... Zhengjun sacrificed his life during a mission, and his body will be brought back later."
"What?!" Liu Yuying exclaimed in shock.
Although she hadn't been on the front lines for a long time and had been doing more behind-the-scenes planning work, she was well aware of Lu Zhengjun's capabilities.
Especially after practicing the secret manual, Lu Zhengjun's strength soared, making him arguably the number one in the army, a man standing at the top of the pyramid.
With such skill, how could he have died during a mission?
Liu Yuying couldn't understand how Lu Zhengjun could sacrifice himself if he was so capable of carrying out his recent mission. Who in the army could have completed it safely?
"How could that be? Did you find out exactly what happened back then?" Liu Yuying asked again, her tone noticeably more serious.
She even planned to change her clothes and go to the military base herself to ask the relevant personnel again.
“Mom, we just came back from Commander Wu’s office. It was Daqiang, who went on a mission with my brother-in-law, who brought back the news. My brother-in-law was injured, and after the accompanying medic Ji treated him, he rested alone in the tent. Then there was a huge explosion... In the end, they found my brother-in-law’s unrecognizable body in the rubble. They were able to identify him by the clothes on his body.”
Qiao Xinruo's voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, as if she had done something wrong.
Let's look at Su Yueya again—
"Waaah..." She swayed and was about to faint again when Qiao Xinruo quickly supported her.
"Sister! You must be strong, you absolutely cannot faint again." Qiao Xinruo explained to everyone, "You fainted once before in Commander Wu's office."
Everyone fell silent, their expressions particularly somber.
“Crescent Moon…” Liu Yuying held her eldest daughter, wanting to comfort her, but for a moment, she didn’t know how to start.
Please accept my condolences.
Who can simply offer a word of condolence and then be so heartless as to not feel sad at all?
But what could she possibly say?
When a person dies, they are dead. Lu Zhengjun will never stand alive in front of Su Yueya again. At such a moment, any words are so pale and powerless.
Comforting words were useless; Su Yueya had to pull herself together.
"Waaah... I, I want to go back to my room and be alone for a while, waaah..." Su Yueya wiped away her tears, but could not hide her pain at all.
Qiao Gaoyang quickly chimed in, "Okay, then Yueya, you go back to your bedroom first. If you really want to cry, don't hold it in, but be careful not to cry for too long, it's bad for your eyes."
Su Yueya nodded and walked back to the bedroom, looking weak and powerless.
As soon as she entered the room, she quickly closed the door.
The incessant crying stopped abruptly.
Su Yueya leaned tightly against the back of the door and let out a long breath.
Acting is really tiring!
Fortunately, she had her second brother as her ally; otherwise, she would have been struggling alone and might have revealed her weakness soon!
"I need to rest first." With that, Su Yueya quickly lay down on the bed and drank a large cup of spiritual spring water to replenish her fluids.
When she is alone, that is the only time she can not act. This means that recently, whenever she appears in front of anyone other than her second brother, she must always be on high alert and show the demeanor expected of a newly widowed martyr.
Su Yueya: "..."
There was something even more troubling: how to face Lu Anguo and Bai Xiuhui. She was extremely worried.
In the living room, the two older brothers, the younger sister, and Liu Yuying sat together, discussing what to do next.
"My sister must be heartbroken right now, what should we do?" Qiao Xinruo thought it best not to leave Su Yueya alone, afraid that she might do something foolish. "Should I go in and keep her company? I'm afraid she might do something stupid."
Qiao Gaoyang quickly pulled Qiao Xinruo back to her feet.
Would it be acceptable to accompany them?
Just when Su Yueya finally had a chance to catch her breath, Qiao Xinruo went in, and she had to start crying again.
"No, I think it's better for Crescent Moon to be alone at this time, to let her have some peace and quiet," Qiao Gaoyang said.
"What if she..." Qiao Shouyan and Qiao Xinruo shared the same worry.
“No, it won’t happen,” Qiao Gaoyang said firmly. “Zhengjun’s body hasn’t been brought back yet, the funeral arrangements haven’t been made, and we haven’t met with the Lu family. At a time like this, Yueya would never do anything foolish. Don’t underestimate Yueya’s strength. Back then, she came to the capital alone to find the army.”
