"But what? Tell me."
"General Lan wanted to take Huang Ranhu's body to Da'an for execution by slow slicing, but General Xiao stopped him."
Lan Tingche had just secured Dongyu when he heard the news that Long'er was seriously injured and unconscious. After arriving at the military camp with his two mothers, Doctor Gu came out and told them that there was no danger to her life.
Then he pulled the bear cub to the place where the two were fighting.
Seeing the blood all over the ground, Lan Tingche drew his sword with red eyes.
The more I think about it, the angrier I get!
How could I possibly let this corpse return safely?
"Tingche, listen to me, we can't do that. Huang Ranhu is a marshal in Da'an, he's just short of being granted a title like Long'er. If you do that, aren't you putting the face of the Da'an emperor in the ground?"
"When he sent people to bully my Great Yan, didn't he think he would be retaliated against?"
"When did he send Huang Ranhu to cut off Long'er's arm?"
The refined young master had long since lost his composure, hadn't slept for several nights, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"If it's a fight, then let's fight. I'll bring the southwestern garrison over and fight them. Long'er won't need to lift a finger!"
Xiao Lanyi looked at the child with a worried expression. To be honest, if Ruyi had lost an arm, he might already be at the gate of Da'an.
This child is alright; he knows to wait for Long'er to wake up.
"How dare you say that? If you went to fight, wouldn't she have come along?"
“Our Long’er is young, but he’s usually like a mother hen outside. No one can bully the people behind him. Listen to me, Tingche, let’s wait for Long’er to tell us how to handle this, okay?”
Long'er was pushed into the tent by Da Ni'er. Xiao Cao came to take over, but the dark-skinned girl refused.
The second sister has made up her mind. She will start the meeting whenever Huo Xiaolong's arm is healed, which is in the next few days. The three of them must eat and live together, and the little sister must be with them too.
"Tingche, what's wrong?"
"Why are you so angry? Look at those dark circles under your eyes, you haven't slept for days."
"My brother Che is usually very conscious of his image, what's wrong with him today?"
As Long'er was pushed in, Lan Tingche weakened his momentum and nudged Da Ni'er aside. Yes, he nudged her, just like when Xiongzi nudged him when they were little.
"You scared me."
Da Ni'er and Hou Xiangxiang were so jealous they were practically gritting their teeth. The group filed out, and outside the tent, Da Ni'er was still mimicking Lan Tingche's sarcastic remarks.
You scared me!
"A marquis from the southwest, killing people on the battlefield, you scared me to death~ You're faking your death."
Hou Xiangxiang rolled her eyes and said
"Fake it or not, just tell me if your sister believes it or not?"
"You have to believe it! Look at you, you're completely bewitched, totally disoriented, what a loser!"
“But Long’er likes this kind of thing, and all the women in her family do.”
“Your dream father isn’t him. I think Uncle Huo is usually quite the man, very manly.”
Da Nier and Huo Shuwen didn't talk much. Usually, Xiong Ying always acted like a worldly-wise knight-errant in front of her and Xiangxiang. I wonder if behind that facade, he was thinking about what snacks to make for the kids tonight, or when to wash their winter clothes so they could be put away.
"What nonsense are you spouting, Wang Tianci!"
Hou Xiangxiang pulled her aside and watched from a distance as the eagle coaxed his wife.
Dani often sees this scene at home; her father also tries to appease her mother, so it's normal.
But why did Uncle Huo end up leaning on Aunt He's shoulder after all that coaxing? He's so tall, he can't even squeeze into her arms.
"I also want to see my daughter. Can I see her tomorrow?"
"Long'er just woke up. Xiangxiang said she can't see too many people, but I'll definitely let you go tomorrow, don't worry."
"Okay, it's settled then, Yi, you'll come with me."
The eagle rested his head on his wife's shoulder. He had also had a hard time these past few days. He admitted that he was biased towards Long'er.
How could I not be biased? The older kids would sweetly call me "Dad" and even know to buy him food and snacks. Anyway, no matter if it was leftovers or not, I would buy it for him.
"Okay, whatever you say." He Yi said indulgently.
"This is your Uncle Huo, who's got a real man's touch. And in that room, our brother Huo Xiaocheng is the same. Let me tell you, Da Ni'er, none of the women in the Huo family can resist this kind of thing."
"So, in the entire brothel, my father is the most manly?" Da Ni'er asked incredulously.
"That's for sure, Uncle Wang still has some standing at home."
Lan Tingche looked at Huo Xiaolong's arm with a pained and reluctant expression. Long'er knew that he was holding back his tears, otherwise she would have seen people cry all day.
See, this is what she likes about Tingche. She can always sense his emotions, and she always feels valued whenever the two of them are together.
Her feelings came before his.
She likes it.
"Cry if you want to, it's okay. I'm all better now, and it doesn't hurt anymore."
Lan Tingche didn't say anything, but just held her hand and rubbed his face against hers little by little.
He almost lost her.
He couldn't bring himself to tell her to stop going to the battlefield; he couldn't stop her from doing what she loved.
“When we get back to Beijing, we’ll take care of our parents’ affairs. After that, we’ll hold a wedding for my mom and Uncle Zhao. After they’re done, we’ll get married, okay?”
Huo Xiaolong always manages to win Lan Tingche's heart. To be honest, a couple of kisses would have been enough, but this time Tingche was in a bad mood, so it would be best to cheer him up and wash away his sadness.
"Don't rush... You don't need to... You don't need to comfort me because I'm unhappy. I can wait until the day you're willing to accept it."
The girl asked a question instinctively.
"What if you wait your whole life and still can't find her?"
"Then I won't be able to wait until the day you save me. My life belongs to you from the day you save me."
The man answered without hesitation; this was Lan Tingche's thought from the very beginning of this relationship.
"My brother Tingche is so good to me and puts so much effort into me, why wouldn't I be willing to accept it?"
Huo Xiaolong doesn't need to learn how to coax people; he's naturally picked it up from his surroundings, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
Do I need to learn this?
My sister,
The group of older women at the brothel.
She can learn everything by herself, but if her sisters put in the effort, her brothers-in-law will be completely captivated, obsessed, and thinking about her day and night.
The man's ears turned red, and then the girl pressed her advantage, bringing up the main topic.
“Huang Ranhu has never threatened me with Kaixuan’s life. If he had threatened me, he wouldn’t have died.”
"Therefore, he is a formidable opponent."
"Give people some dignity, Tingche."
We've taken the brains back with us, and the bodies have been separated from the family—this was a very taboo thing in ancient times. It wouldn't be unreasonable for Huang Ranhu's descendants to come and snatch them away.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." The man nodded.
Long'er can agree, and Da'an can choose not to go for now, but he won't let any of those people who are instigated by Da Yan get away with it!
