Chapter 221: Showing Attention for No Reason
"He also believes in your father."
"No matter how outsiders use military achievements to sow discord between the two, the emperor still firmly stands by your father and has never doubted his loyalty."
"The bond between ruler and subject, and the bond between brothers, were both upheld extremely well."
Jiang Yueyao was very moved after hearing this.
She asked again: "Will Daddy return to Mobei?"
Bai Jinyu sighed softly, "I don't want him to go back. After years of military service, your father may appear to be relaxed, but he's actually covered in wounds. Even a strong body wouldn't be able to withstand the pain if he were to return to Mobei."
Jiang Yueyao's originally cheerful mood suddenly dropped.
In her eyes, Shen Huaishan was extremely powerful, like a towering tree with lush branches and leaves, strong and prosperous.
He protects everyone in the family, allowing everyone in the family to rely on him with peace of mind and take shelter from the wind and rain under his thick branches.
Jiang Yueyao suddenly felt a little nervous.
She hurriedly said to Bai Jinyu, "I don't want this county lady's grace anymore. Can you please ask the emperor to let my father stay in the capital?"
Bai Jinyu took her hand and smiled.
"Fool, how can you take back your words just because you want to?"
Seeing her worried face, he smiled and comforted her, "The emperor has no intention of letting your father return to Mobei, so don't worry for now."
But how can Jiang Yueyao feel at ease?
Even after many days had passed since the banquet, she still couldn't feel happy.
Until Lu Sui came to see her and saw that she was depressed.
"What makes you so unhappy?"
Jiang Yueyao looked at him and her eyes suddenly turned red.
"I don't want Dad to go back to Mobei anymore."
"Who said your father is going back?" Lu Sui raised his eyebrows.
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, her eyes lit up immediately: "Doesn't my dad have to go back?"
"Although the Emperor hasn't said it explicitly, your brother has been promoted to the rank of Third Rank Divine Martial General by the Emperor. What's the reason for this?"
Jiang Yueyao's little brain, which had never been very smart, suddenly understood everything after he gently enlightened her.
"You mean, the emperor wants to hand over the Mobei Army to my brother?"
Lu Sui touched her head, his eyes full of admiration for her cleverness.
"How clever."
Jiang Yueyao felt a little embarrassed by the compliment. She threw herself into Lu Sui's arms, hugged his waist, and was extremely happy.
"That's great. Daddy doesn't have to go to Mobei anymore. He and Mom will stay with me forever."
Lu Sui couldn't help but laugh: "Don't say that in front of your brother."
"Why?"
"He'll be sad."
“…”
Jiang Yueyao felt that she had gone too far.
So at noon that day, she carried her lunch box and boarded a carriage heading to the military camp outside the city.
Inside the steadily moving carriage, Jin Zi looked at the four food boxes she had placed side by side and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, the general can't eat so much, right?"
Jiang Yueyao is peeling pine nuts for her brother.
When he heard this, he looked up at her and asked, "Are you greedy?"
Jinzi swallowed hard, but still said stubbornly, "How can I compete with the general for food? I am not greedy, I am full."
"Aren't you full? You ate up all the pork elbows before you came here." Jiang Yueyao handed her the peeled pine nuts and said, "Eat it, you greedy cat."
Jinzi smiled and put pine nuts into her mouth while chattering non-stop.
"Miss, I heard that the general has a young servant with him. He has red lips and white teeth and looks like a little girl."
Jiang Yueyao looked at her: "Where did you hear that?"
"Last time, the master sent Jin Liuliu to deliver something to the general, and Jin Liuliu came back and told me secretly."
Jin Liuliu is another female secret guard. Her biggest feature is her fast legs. It takes others two hours to leave the city, but she can go back and forth in one hour.
Therefore, Shen Huaishan usually gave her the errands.
Jiang Yueyao thought about it carefully: "The servant next to my brother is Tong Li, he looks very dark..."
"It's definitely not one person."
After hearing what she said, Jiang Yueyao became curious.
When they arrived at the camp gate, Jiang Yueyao did not get off the carriage. The carriage entered the camp smoothly and came to the main tent.
Jinzi jumped off the carriage first, then reached out to pick up Jiang Yueyao.
Hearing the noise, Shen Linchuan strode out from inside, looking at his little sister who suddenly came to visit him, raising his eyebrows.
"You're being so attentive for no reason. Did you get into trouble at home?"
Jiang Yueyao was about to walk over to give him a hug, but stopped when she heard this.
Then he turned around and got on the carriage.
"Hey, hey, hey, just kidding." Shen Linchuan hurriedly grabbed her arm, his eyes full of smiles, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and your temper has risen. Can you not say a word?"
"Humph, I came to see you out of kindness, but you suspect I have ulterior motives? Where in the world is there a brother like you?"
Shen Linchuan quickly apologized.
"Brother is wrong, Xiaoqi, don't be angry. Come, I'll support you. Come this way."
Seeing him like this, and remembering what Lu Sui said, her heart softened and she followed him into the main tent.
After entering the tent, Jiang Yueyao saw the tender and delicate boy in Jinzi's mouth at a glance.
He stood quietly in the corner, and when he saw her looking at him, he raised his hand gently to greet her.
But he didn't say anything.
Jiang Yueyao glanced at Shen Linchuan, and Shen Linchuan smiled: "He has a mouth disease and can't speak."
When Jiang Yueyao heard this, she suddenly understood, then looked at the other person and smiled.
"No need to be so polite. I brought some food for my brother. It's in the carriage. Please help me bring the gold in."
The other party nodded slightly and walked out.
Jiang Yueyao looked at her walking movements. Unlike men, she didn't sway from side to side. Her steps were very small. Her skin was as fair as hers...
Jiang Yueyao was suspicious for a moment, but didn't ask any more questions. She sat down and talked with her brother.
Four food boxes were brought in quickly.
Jinzi and the servant placed the food on the table one by one, making it full.
Shen Linchuan sat down and looked at Jiang Yueyao who handed the chopsticks to him.
"Are you sure you didn't get into trouble?"
"Of course not. How could I get into trouble when I'm such a good boy?"
"Besides, even if I got into trouble, Daddy and Mommy wouldn't blame me. Why would I come all this way to ask you for mercy?"
Shen Linchuan thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.
So, pick up your chopsticks and start eating.
Jiang Yueyao personally served him a bowl of soup, placed it next to him, and spoke.
"Brother seems to like it here very much."
Shen Linchuan looked up at her: "Are you blaming me for not going back to accompany you?"
"Oh, no." Jiang Yueyao was somewhat speechless, "You should eat."
Shen Linchuan smiled and picked up a chicken leg for her and put it in her bowl: “Okay, brother is wrong, you eat it too.”
After dinner, Shen Linchuan accompanied Jiang Yueyao to walk around the military camp.
Shen Linchuan, who usually doesn't talk much, has become talkative at this moment.
"That's the horse ranch, this is the martial arts training ground, and that's the training ground..."
"The school martial arts arena?" Jiang Yueyao craned her neck to look over there. "Is anyone competing?"
"You want to see it?"
"Um."
"Let's go."
