One Thousand One Hundred and Fifty-Eight: State Affairs? Housework?
1158: State affairs? Housework?
"Fourth, this matter is a bit complicated. You'd better not get involved." The sister-in-law frowned slightly. If she hadn't known the truth back then, she would probably have thought that Xiao Qi had gone too far...
"Okay, I'll listen to my sister-in-law." The fourth child is a smart person. When he heard what his sister-in-law said, he knew that the inside story was complicated, so he put away his compassion. In short, she should take care of the troublemaker in her family first. Yes, Lan Jin, the bad boy in the Lan family, is her grandson. All kinds of misfortunes have really broken the hearts of her and her daughter-in-law.
"Do you want to tell mother about this?" asked the second sister-in-law.
"Of course I have to say it. I think mother also wants to know about the Ling family." Sister-in-law replied.
The three of them walked to the old lady's residence together. As soon as they entered the garden, they saw a graceful lady in her fifties or sixties constructing flowers and trees in the garden.
The three people quickly stepped forward and wanted to take over, but were stopped by the lady.
"I asked you to do it, what else should I do?" the graceful lady said calmly, and continued to build her cherished flowers and trees.
"Mother, aren't we afraid that you will be tired?" At this time, the fourth child had lost her ladylike demeanor in front of the younger generation, and her expression and behavior had become coquettish.
"Come on, tell me, what do you mean by coming to my place? With your personality, you will never come to my place for a walk." The graceful lady knows her daughters-in-law very well.
"Mother, I just received news that Jin'er had a conflict with someone. Jin'er accepted the other party's challenge on behalf of the Lan family." The sister-in-law told the story directly without any nonsense.
"Doesn't this kind of thing happen often? You came all the way here, the other party must be a little different, or Jin'er has finally kicked her toes?" The graceful lady calmly repaired the flowers and trees in front of her. If one day Lan Jin, that bastard, If you don't cause trouble, she might be surprised.
"The other party is...Ling Jiazi." The sister-in-law emphasized the words Ling Jiazi.
The elegant lady's hand suddenly stopped, she turned around slowly, looked at her three daughters-in-law, and asked: "The son of Ling Xiao?"
"Yes, Mother." Sister-in-law nodded and replied.
"Jin'er, it's time to learn a lesson, Ling Jiazi, okay!" The graceful lady suddenly laughed.
"But it was not Ling Jiazi who raised the challenge.
But one of his men. "The sister-in-law continued.
"I heard that the Ling family master controlled a god-level mecha. He suffered backlash and lost his health. It is very common sense for his subordinates to challenge him." Lady Yongrong seemed to know what happened to Ling Lan very well, and she immediately deduced why. The one who takes action will be his subordinates, not Ling Lan himself.
"I'm just afraid, will this matter have an impact on the old man?" The sister-in-law's face showed a solemn look. A falling out between the Lan family and the Ling family would definitely ruin the old man's important affairs.
"What impact can it have?" Lady Yongrong sneered, "We are already trapped in General Star cultivating our hearts and minds, what else can we do? Besides, if you can't even settle this little thing, why should you be the first marshal? , why not just come back and plant flowers for me."
"Do you want to tell your father? Listen to his opinion?" The second sister-in-law is still a little unsure. If someone is provoking this matter, there will be a grudge between the old man and Ling Xiao. But now, the old man cannot lack Ling Xiao's support.
"Say what you want to say, but opinions are not needed." The old lady replied calmly.
"Is this good?" The Lan family relied on the old man to gain a foothold in General Star. The three daughters-in-law were shocked when they heard what the old lady said.
"I may not understand state affairs, but you must listen to me when it comes to family matters." The old lady replied firmly.
Because she listened to him, all the sons she had worked so hard to cultivate died in battle, leaving behind a widow. If there were not three buds left, she would definitely break up with that bastard old man.
But even so, she still has a hard time letting go of the incident with the third child. She pities her biological granddaughter whom she never met, the only bloodline of the third child... Back then, Xiao Qi secretly told the third child that a daughter was born. She was so excited. She read through all the genealogy dictionaries and named her Luofeng. As the name suggests, she is the phoenix that the Lan family wants to hold in their hands.
It's a pity that she wanted to love the treasure in her palm, but because of that bastard old man who was full of power and wanted to climb to a high position, she ended up with no name and no status. She couldn't even take the name of Lan Jiayu, so she had to change the radical. Called Lan Luofeng... She felt heartbroken when she thought of this.
Lan Yu, if there is anything wrong with the bloodline left by the third child, I will never end it with you.
The First Marshal hung up the call, and his frown became even tighter.
After dozens of seconds of silence, he sighed slightly: "It's really emotional. However, this time, we can also know which forces are ready to move. Also, it's time to test Ling Xiao. I hope he won't do anything stupid."
The First Marshal turned around and dialed a contact, and immediately a surprised but ecstatic young face appeared on the virtual screen: "Great Grandpa."
A complex and hidden look flashed across the eyes of the First Marshal. Does this title mean that he is really old?
"Rong'er, I heard that you have an appointment with someone to fight?" the First Marshal asked calmly.
"Yes." Lan Rong's face suddenly became nervous, with a hint of embarrassment, fearing that the great-grandfather in front of him, whom he admired so much, would scold him for this matter.
A trace of regret flashed in the eyes of the First Marshal. Among the three sons left behind, one was completely rotten. This one was already so old and could not be calm and collected. The only one with a good heart and satisfied him in every aspect, but... In terms of mecha control, the talent is very average, and it is difficult to advance based on military merit. You can only rely on civilian jobs to gain qualifications in the military, and use your time to exchange for status.
If there hadn't been monsters like Ling Xiao and his son who rose through the ranks like rockets, the First Marshal might not be dissatisfied. It's a pity that two of them appeared, especially Ling Lan, whose promotion speed is not slower than that of his father...
Sometimes, the First Marshal would reflect in his heart. If he had chosen another way back then, this enviable Qilinzi would not have anything to do with their Lan family. He and Ling Xiao would not have reached this point.
However, this was just a sudden thought that came to him. The first marshal, who was always calm and self-possessed, immediately erased this only trace of regret. The reason why he is able to sit firmly in this position is that he never regrets it.
"Do you know who the other party is?" the first marshal asked. If he doesn't know now, he may have to give up on Lan Rong after giving up Lan Jin.
"I know, from the Lingtian mecha group, one of them should be Ling Xiao's son, Ling Lan." Lan Rong indeed has some skills, and he investigated Ling Lan and his group in a short time.
There was a trace of satisfaction in the eyes of the First Marshal, it was not too embarrassing after all.
