Sunrise to the east, sunny skies.
Xiao Jing laid on the bed, with one hand under her head, she couldn"t stop thinking about life.
I"m not beautiful enough?
That"s not right. After all, he was a flower in the army, and his beauty was on the verge of appearing.
Could it be that he wasn"t attractive enough?
That"s not right. Under the atmosphere of last night, she was sure that she was almost captivated by her own gentleness.
Could it be that his body was defective?
Xiao Jing sat up abruptly. She tore off her clothes and carefully examined it. It was quite normal. Other than the fact that it was a bit stunted, it was quite normal.
She rested her chin on one hand and stared at the captain who was dressing himself. Since she was so pretty and attractive, why did he suddenly stop?
Last night, in that dense atmosphere, in that gentle and gentle place where he couldn"t wait to drown himself in death, shouldn"t he be like a tiger with wings added to its body?
"Put on your clothes and come out again. My mother is making breakfast."
Shen Chengfeng threw his clothes onto the bed.
The corner of Xiao Jing"s mouth twitched. "You said that General Yan Jun is cooking breakfast again?"
"Yes, it looks like it"s ready."
"Knock, knock."
There was a knock on the door, and the person outside said, "Is your son up yet? Let"s eat breakfast."
Xiao Jing"s stomach hurt. She thought back to how she had stewed the eggs with tomato. She was afraid that General Yan Jun would not understand why she had stewed the eggs for three hours. How deep was the grudge between them?
"I know that your intense training every day requires a lot of physical strength, so I specially prepared a table full of food for you all to eat."
With a smile, Yan Jun introduced the dishes she was proficient at.
Xiao Jing dared to take a glance at the table. Fortunately, the Captain"s fridge was short of supplies, so the Admiral"s ability to use them was limited. Boiled eggs were very normal, hot milk was also very normal.
"This is the last time I studied it. I boiled the eggs with coffee."
"Cough, cough."
Xiao Jing sat on a chair and carefully ate a mouthful of egg that was still the same color after the skin was peeled off. The taste was a little bitter, but the taste was a little strange, so it did not affect her taste.
"This is bread. I didn"t find any jam, so I wiped some canned fish."
Are you an old man torturing bread or canned fish?
"Is it good?"
General Yan Jun looked forward to the upcoming battle.
Xiao Jing swallowed a mouthful of bread with a look of unwillingness on her face. The fishy smell of the canned fish and the way the bread had been roasted for a long time had dried up and hardened. In any case, it was like chewing a piece of plastic skin, and it could not even chew properly.
She swallowed it directly and took a big gulp of milk to calm her nerves. However, just as the milk entered her mouth, she couldn"t hold it in and spat it all out onto Yan Jun"s face.
Yan Jun closed her eyes and wiped the milk off her face. "Commander Xiao, do you think it"s bad?"
"No, really."
Xiao Jing quickly took out a clean paper towel to wipe her hands, "But why is your milk salty?"
"Probably expired."
Yan Jun explained.
If you give it back to your daughter-in-law after the expiration date, are you sure it won"t hurt your daughter-in-law"s heart that admires you?
"I saw that there were some in the fridge, so I took it out. I didn"t look at the dates, but since it"s changed, it should be out of date, so there"s no need to drink anymore."
Yan Jun sat back on the chair.
Xiao Jing quietly nibbled on her Bread of Cow Skin. She glanced at the team leader who hadn"t said anything from the beginning to the end. Are you really that heartless to let your pretty wife be so hurt by your mother?
Shen Chengfeng put down the bread and said, "Mother, the canned fish has expired."
"Cough, cough."
Xiao Jing almost spat it out again.
"Is it out of date?"
"No wonder it smells so bad. At first, I thought that it was just stinky. Don"t eat it then. Eat the eggs. The eggs will not expire."
"Don"t eat anymore. We can eat some on the way back."
Shen Chengfeng stood up and picked up the coat beside the chair, "Mother, we"ll be leaving first."
It was too much of a pity that he lost all the food on the table. Even if he expired in a short period of time, he probably wouldn"t be able to eat anyone alive. He would take it back with him and give it to Old Second.
Xiao Jinghad just left when she felt a cold wind, she tightened her coat and followed closely behind the captain.
Shen Chengfeng opened the car door and asked, "Are you hungry?"
Xiao Jing rubbed her stomach. "I don"t feel hungry right now. I feel like the canned fish came back to life in my stomach, and I want to spit it out."
Shen Chengfeng took out a box of candies from the car, opened the lid and took out two, "Eat a little to calm your nerves."
Xiao Jing forced a smile and said, "Captain, why is your mother so keen on cooking?"
Other than the occasional random spices that add fuel to the fire, in truth, she can still eat a proper meal. Our military family is different from other ordinary families, we don"t have the chance to happily eat our reunion dinner every day.
"Should I learn to cook in the future?"
Xiao Jing"s face suddenly reddened. She thought about her husband, who had come back early and was tired, and how she had already prepared a steaming meal. Although he looked very tired, he still planted a deep kiss on her lips.
It was so beautiful that she felt her mind filling up with pink bubbles.
"Forget it."
Shen Chengfeng held her hand and said, "If the kitchen knife hits your hand, I will be the one feeling bad."
Xiao Jing"s face flushed red. "Captain, I will work hard to learn."
Shen Chengfeng tightly gripped her small hand. The person holding the palm of his hand seemed to be his entire world.
"Ding … …"
The phone rang softly.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the number and answered it.
"Is this General Shen Chengfeng?"
The woman"s voice was a little uncertain.
Shen Chengfeng remembered this voice. He subconsciously glanced at Xiao Jing and nodded, "Yes."
"Is Xiao Jing at your side?"
"Can you get her to answer the phone?"
"Sure."
Shen Chengfeng handed his phone to the co-pilot.
Xiao Jing looked at the captain in confusion.
Shen Chengfeng nodded, "Your mother."
Xiao Jing took the phone. "Mother?"
The woman hesitated for a moment. Before she could say anything, a burst of chaotic sounds came from the other end of the phone. The next moment, a vigorous elderly voice sounded from the receiver.
The old mistress of the Xiao family said aggressively, "Xiao Jing, I"ll give you half an hour to return immediately. Otherwise, your mother won"t be coming out of our Xiao family"s ancestral hall today."
Xiao Jing was like a thunderbolt. The Xiao family"s ancestral hall?
This was a place where the ancestors" heroic souls were stored. It was also the place where the Xiao family punished prisoners for using the family"s law to enforce their laws.
When she was young, she had seen the madame use torture here once, forcefully breaking two vines, beating up one of her underlings until his flesh and blood was drenched in blood and only a breath of air remained.
Shen Chengfeng noticed the change in her expression and cautiously asked, "What"s wrong?"
"Captain, please take me back to the Xiao family."
Shen Chengfeng stopped the car and frowned, "Going back at this time?"
Xiao Jing nodded affirmatively. "Yes, we will go back now."
Shen Chengfeng did not pursue the matter any further. He immediately turned the car around and once again drove the car onto the secondary road.
The servants stood side by side in the main hall of the Xiao family. No one dared to say anything. The butler paced back and forth uncontrollably.
Now that Marshal Xiao Yao had left the country and the young masters of the Xiao family could not return from the army camp, what should he do?
Should he notify the fourth young master?
The madame had been shutting the Countess down since last night. Listening to the intermittent curses from the inside, she was afraid that someone was about to die.
Xiao Jing got out of the car and ran into the courtyard.
When the butler saw the figure in the courtyard, he hurriedly stepped forward, "Fourth Young Master, you"ve finally returned. Please go in and take a look."
Xiao Jing was panting heavily as she stood outside the room and knocked on the door.
"Get in here."
The old mistress" cold voice came from the back room.
Xiao Jing pushed open the door. The moment she entered, she smelled the scent of blood in the air.
Old Madam Xiao seemed to be tired from fighting and threw the rattan to the ground.
Xiao Jing"s eyes were glued to the blood-stained rattan on the ground. These rattan vines had been specially treated, and there were barbs on them. Every strike that hit her body would pierce through her skin, bringing out blood, and the rattan was soaked in brine.
"Kneel."
The old mistress glared at her with loathing.
Xiao Jing walked over step by step and stood behind her mother. She clenched her teeth and straightened her body, unwilling to kneel down.
Old Madam Xiao"s heart burned with rage. She picked up another vine soaked in brine from the table and prepared to give it to Xiao Jing.
Xiao Jing forcibly caught the long note. She tried her best to suppress her growing fury as she asked, "Why does the madame punish my mother so harshly?"
"Tell me in front of the heroic soul of our Xiao family what you and your mother have done together in collusion."
Old Madam Xiao reprimanded her angrily.
Xiao Jing listened to him. Mother and daughter?
She was talking about mother and daughter.
Old Madam Xiao viciously slapped a long strip of cloth onto Xiao Jing"s leg. "Kneel."
Qin Ran"s entire face had already lost all color. She held Xiao Jing"s hand, indicating that she should kneel down.
The old lady stood in front of the two of them and laughed at herself, "It"s all thanks to me having the head of the Xiao family for so many years. I didn"t expect that I would be deceived like this by you two. If I hadn"t discovered it earlier, would you have continued hiding it from me?"
"Alright, Qin Ran, your courage has made me have a whole new level of respect for you."
"Pah!"
Qin Ran gritted her teeth. The rattan almost made her faint from the pain.
Xiao Jing noticed that the madame had raised the rattan once again. The past repeated in her mind like the lights of a horse carriage. She could hide in cowardice and hide in a humble manner, but what happened in the end?
Even his mother was so helpless.
"Pah!"
Xiao Jing grabbed the rattan and forcefully threw it aside.
Old Madam Xiao did not expect her to dare to resist. She angrily said, "Xiao Jing, you"ve been raising such a lawless person in the army camp recently, right?"
"Not only did he deceive everyone, he even dared to resist me?"
"Madam, even if it"s our fault, you cannot use lynching."
Xiao Jing looked at the unrecognizable wound on her mother"s back and clenched her teeth. "You can"t punish my mother like this."
I am the mistress of the Xiao family, so I naturally have the right to punish any members of the Xiao family who made a mistake. Perhaps you don"t want to admit that you are a member of the Xiao family, but no, you are no longer a member of the Xiao family.
"Even if you want to leave, it"s not up to you to decide. Father is still alive, you have no right to chase us away."
Old Madam Xiao wanted to give her a slap in the face.
Xiao Jing dodged without a trace and said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone, "My current ident.i.ty is as a soldier. You cannot hit me as you wish."
Old Madam Xiao panted heavily as she clutched her blood pressure and took two steps back. "You still have the nerve to call yourself a soldier?"
"Xiao Jing, your actions are completely unfaithful and unfilial to our Xiao family. The hundred year heroic souls of our Xiao family, as well as our ancestors, were all cleanly destroyed by you."
"Yes, my ident.i.ty has deceived everyone, but I have a clear conscience. I will openly rely on my own abilities to establish my own achievements. I do not feel that I am unfaithful to my country or unfilial to the Xiao family."
"With your status, you don"t have the qualifications to enter the military camp."
Old Madam Xiao"s body trembled slightly due to her emotions. "Scram. From today onwards, you mother and daughter will no longer be people of my Xiao family. Scram."
"Pah!"
The closed door was pushed open from the outside.
Shen Chengfeng walked in from the door with a body full of cold qi. His gaze gave off an indescribable chilliness wherever he looked.
Old Madam Xiao stared at the person who entered without blinking as she reprimanded the butler behind her. "This is the Xiao family"s residence. Please behave yourself, General Shen. Butler, escort your guest out."
The butler stood awkwardly behind Shen Chengfeng. It was not that he did not stop the person in front of him, but he could not stop him.
Shen Chengfeng looked at the b.l.o.o.d.y rattan on the ground and then at the injury on Qin Ran"s back and said coldly, "This is the first time I have seen such a feudal punishment in this society. The Leader had already issued an order to cancel the lynching a few years ago."
Old Madam Xiao hollered, "This is a member of our Xiao family. It"s not for outsiders to interfere."
"I already said that Xiao Jing is my soldier, no matter what she has done, only a superior officer like me has the right to punish her, any lynching of anyone is illegal, Madam Xiao, I respect you as an elder, today, I can let bygones be bygones, please apologize to my soldier."
"Apologize?"
"Is she worthy?"
Old Madam Xiao sat on a chair. "Everyone, please leave."
The steward didn"t dare to stay any longer and obediently left.
Old Madam Xiao snorted coldly. "It seems that you know her ident.i.ty, right?"
"What ident.i.ty she has is not important to me. I only know that she is my soldier. No one is allowed to casually scold her."
Shen Chengfeng pulled Xiao Jing to his back, "In addition, military families also have the protection of the country. If the madame were to do this kind of injury, as long as I report it to you, even if you are an elder, you will be locked up for a few days."
"Shen Chengfeng, you must interfere in our Xiao family"s affairs, right?"
"Yes."
He blurted out those words without any hesitation.
Old Madam Xiao slammed the table and got up, "I think that your Shen family has some relations.h.i.+p with our Xiao family, and I have already given you enough face. Right now, if you don"t know what"s good for you, you must intervene in my Xiao family"s matters. Fine, I want to see just how amazing you, Shen Chengfeng, are."
"Does the madame intend to expose this matter herself?"
Shen Chengfeng did not retreat.
I will take the initiative to admit our mistake. I think the people above will also think about how our Xiao Clan has been peaceful all these years. As for Xiao Jing, she will no longer be one of us from today onwards.
Old Madam Xiao spoke decisively and decisively.
"Old lady, I beg you to let our child go, she is innocent, it is all my fault, I deceived everyone, I was the one who made the mistake back then, I don"t blame the child, I really don"t blame the child, she has been very pitiful all these years, I beg you to let her go."
"Scram."
Old Madam Xiao kicked Qin Ran away.
Xiao Jing supported her mother, her hands clenched into fists. She tried her best to keep her voice calm, "Mom doesn"t need to beg. We didn"t let anyone down, so why should we apologize?"
"The child can"t be exposed. It will ruin you."
Qin Ran gripped Xiao Jing"s arm tightly. "It"s alright. The Grand Matron will forgive us."
"Mom, we didn"t let her down. Why ask her forgiveness?"
"But we"re wrong."
Qin Ran weakly fell to the ground. She knelt in front of Xiao Jing and cried, "It was mother"s fault. I shouldn"t have lied to everyone back then. It was all my fault. It was all my fault."
"Mom."
Xiao Jing looked at her mother, who was kowtowing nonstop. She forcefully supported her down body. "You"re not in the wrong."
"Enough, don"t act out these motherly filial things in front of me. I think it"s hypocritical. Both of you, mother and daughter, scram. I"ve said it before, our Xiao family will no longer have you two. Scram."
Shen Chengfeng stood behind Xiao Jing and supported her arm, causing her to straighten her back. "Take off your clothes and let your wife see what you have done wrong."
Overstatement -
Because it was a pre-existing chapter, Xiao Man didn"t have time to explain what had happened the previous two days. The group had already been disbanded, so the treasures didn"t need to add anyone else to the group. As for whether or not they would continue to build the next chapter, she would wait until Xiao Man said, "Thank you for not leaving me, thank you for not leaving me."
