Little Lingling was extremely embarrassed. Seeing that her mother's questions were becoming more and more outrageous, she simply interrupted them and explained everything clearly herself.
Fang was obviously a little unconvinced, "Is it really that simple?"
Xiao Lingdang sighed, "Look, you insist on asking me to tell you, and even if I tell you, you don't believe me. If you really can't figure it out, go ask my senior brother and Sister Tong."
Would I lie to you about this? I just told you about it last night."
Seeing that she spoke so frankly, Fang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao smiled and patted her back, "Okay, okay, don't worry, your mother is worried about you too.
But I think you're all worrying about nothing.
It can be said that we have watched Chu Yu grow up. We know his temperament and character, and he is not the kind of person who would act recklessly.
Besides, I had long noticed that the child had feelings for Little Bell.
The child was very thoughtful. He probably didn't tell Xiao Lingling the whole story before because he saw that Xiao Lingling was young. He kept waiting until now, which showed that he was thoughtful.
Before he went to the border, he cared and took care of little Lingling just as much as we do.
I would feel relieved if Xiao Lingling married him.
You and the second brother shouldn't be too hard on that kid. His parents died young, so he's a poor fellow.
We are a family from now on, so please take better care of him."
Fang knew what Zhao said, but she just couldn't accept it for a while.
Now that I've calmed down, I think this son-in-law is pretty good.
If Xiao Lingdang marries him, she won't have to serve her in-laws. Considering how much Chu Yu dotes on his own daughter, they might even be able to live together.
It actually doesn't make much difference whether the daughter gets married or not.
In addition, Chu Yu is also a handsome man with great military achievements. There is really no one more suitable for Xiao Lingling than him.
"That's true. It's not an exaggeration to say that our little Lingling was raised by him.
When I was a kid, wasn’t it Chu Yu who took care of me when I got up early to practice martial arts?
Just for the sake of their friendship over the years, he would not treat Xiao Lingling badly.
But, are you really sure? Is it him?"
Little Lingling couldn't help blushing when she recalled the scene when Chu Yu helped her dress and comb her hair when she was a child.
But after hearing what Fang said, she still nodded.
"Yes! Mom, it's him! He's really good to me.
Although we have been together less and less over the years, he has never stopped writing to me twice a month, no matter how far apart we are.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t know so much about border affairs.
Moreover, he always collects a lot of interesting things and sends them to me.
He is really different from others.”
After she said this, everyone knew what she meant.
Fang sighed helplessly, "Well, as long as you're sure.
But there's no need to rush. Let's wait until you reach the age of marriage. You two are both young, and he's still at the border.
If you ask me, you can get engaged after you reach the age of 15.
As for the matter of marriage, we can discuss it later and see what his future plans are.
Although we all trust his ability to lead troops in battle, the ever-changing battlefield is too dangerous."
Although he is known for his talents, people naturally consider their own children first.
It is reasonable to give more consideration because you are worried that Xiao Lingling will suffer in the future.
Xiao Lingling immediately raised her hand and said, "Brother Yu told me this yesterday.
He said that a great victory had been achieved at the border, and in the next few years, the barbarians should not be able to cause trouble.
Moreover, after the Emperor's diligent efforts over the years, our Qingyang is now much more powerful, enough to intimidate the surrounding villains.
Therefore, he did not need to guard the border all year round. With the Chu family army there, safety was still guaranteed.
Moreover, Sister Xue has the same demeanor as Aunt Chu did back then. Compared to Brother Yu, Sister Xue grew up in a military camp and is more comfortable there.
So Brother Yu said that he would hand over the Chu family army to Sister Xue for management.
He would be an idle general, but if a war broke out in the future, he would still be at the forefront.
He said this was the mission of several generations of the Chu family and it couldn't be destroyed in his hands."
For Chu Yu, the years he lived in the Lin family were the happiest days of his life.
He took over the Chu family army because he had the blood of the Chu family in his veins and he couldn't just sit back and watch.
But if he really had to choose, he would really choose to stay in the Lin family.
You can say he has no ambition or that he is spineless.
Once upon a time, he felt like he was living in hell every moment. He didn't even know how he fell asleep or woke up every day.
It was not until he came to the Lin family that he felt like he was living like a human being. He had a master to teach him martial arts, friends to play with, and every day of his life was fulfilling.
That was the happiness he had longed for the most. Although it only lasted for three short years, he missed it terribly.
Therefore, compared with the passion of fighting on the battlefield, he prefers that kind of ordinary life.
His idea also successfully made Zhao and Fang feel more at ease and satisfied. In an instant, they felt even more distressed for their future son-in-law.
As a result, Fang immediately became restless.
"No, I have to go to the front and take a look, so that your father won't scare my son-in-law again."
"Right, right, right. Go quickly and ask a few questions. Don't torture the child. We can't take advantage of our age and status like that.
As a grandmother, I didn’t say anything, so I just let him do what he wants.”
Fang nodded and walked quickly outside, leaving Xiao Lingling with a confused look on her face.
So, that's it?
Zhao found her expression funny.
"Actually, it's mainly because the child has a reliable character. People who grew up around him have some understanding of this.
If it was someone you didn't know, then naturally no matter how much you asked, it wouldn't be excessive.
After all, this concerns your entire life, so it's only natural for your parents to ask more questions.
It’s just a little unexpected that so many years have passed, and the child who was so young before is now about to get married.
Thinking about it this way, I feel a little dazed. Time really flies by so fast.
Although Zhao had taken good care of herself over the years and there were no worries at home, nine years had passed after all and she looked a little older.
Xiao Lingling looked at the wrinkles on her face and felt sad.
"Grandma, no matter how old I am, I am still your granddaughter.
This is just the beginning, you still have to watch me get married and become a mother."
Zhao naturally understood her implication and responded with a smile.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, grandma will definitely be with you. Grandma wants to see with her own eyes that our little Bell lives a safe and happy life.
By the way, since you and Chu Yu have expressed your feelings for each other, do you want to tell him about your secret realm?"
This question really stumped Xiao Lingling.
