Quickly wear the female supporting role, don't try to take advantage of me

Chapter 58 The Young Lady of the Marquisate as the Backing 10

When this incident was reported back to the imperial court, everyone was shocked. No one expected that a woman could have such great power, being able to stop 5,000 Rongdi troops with only 300 people.

Some people questioned it, but were refuted. Who would dare to joke about such a thing?

Some people in the court asked the emperor to recall Luo Chen on the grounds that Luo Chen was a woman, but the prince had already received an envelope from Luo Chen, in which she promised that as long as the prince could help her stabilize the emperor and the rigid ministers in the court, she would secretly help the prince to build up connections in the military.

The prince was a little hesitant at first, but the moment he saw the battle report, Luo Chen's position in his heart was different. Although she was a woman, she was a rare general and it was worth the prince's effort to deal with her.

There was a disagreement in the court. The emperor hesitated for a long time and often lamented that Luo Chen was not a man.

Wen Ren He anxiously went to ask the Grand Princess for help, hoping that the Grand Princess could persuade the Emperor to bring Luo Chen back as soon as possible, as it was too dangerous there for a woman.

The Grand Princess finally faced up to this problem. Wen Renhe admitted that he did have a good impression of Luo Chen, but the Grand Princess was not very satisfied. The daughter-in-law she wanted must be dignified, virtuous, and able to be the mistress of the house.

Instead of a woman like Luo Chen who lost her mother early, even if her status is worthy of her He'er, she herself is not so good. The previous cancellation of the engagement caused a lot of uproar, and the eldest princess naturally saw that Luo Chen was fanning the flames. After all, the eldest princess's mansion was also involved. She originally thought that this little girl was very thoughtful and independent, but if it fell on her son, she would not be willing.

What's more, Luo Chen now runs to the military camp where the man is in public, which is simply outrageous. She absolutely does not agree with her son marrying such a restless woman.

But knowing her son's character, she pretended to agree but secretly fanned the flames, hoping that Luo Chen would stay at the border and not come back.

Therefore, with the prince's secret manipulation, the queen's subtle pillow talk, and the instigation of the princess's mansion, the emperor finally agreed to let Luo Chen take her father to guard the border city of Yixi. After rewarding the merits, Luo Chen could be called a general, and he had 5,000 soldiers under his command.

After recovering from her injury, Luo Chen analyzed that the Rongdi had suffered heavy losses this time and would certainly not give up. They would probably attack again soon, so they had to prepare early. General Wei did not dare to underestimate Luo Chen now, so her proposal was naturally taken seriously.

But other generals knew that Luo Chen was a woman, and they looked down on her. However, because of the emperor's order and Luo Chen's previous battle record, they dared not say anything. However, they did not hide the contempt on their faces. They just thought that Luo Chen was a woman, timid as a mouse, and worried about nothing. They felt that the Rongdi people had lost their fighting spirit this time and would not dare to attack again in the short term.

But Luochen knew that Rongdi had few cattle and sheep left, and if they wanted to survive, they had to come to Dafeng to steal them.

General Wei ordered everyone to be on martial law, and discussed the formation with Luo Chen. Luo Chen said that she could train a special force by forming a formation. General Wei asked Luo Chen to train as quickly as possible. Only when she could be effective on the battlefield would Luo Chen not be looked down upon because of her gender.

When the imperial court was preparing to go to war with the Rongdi, the male and female protagonists were not having a good time. Since they were separated, Li Menglan was a modern person and Fu Zigui was a young master. Both of them had never suffered hardship and had more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands, which was enough for several years if they lived frugally.

But neither of them was the kind of person who would tolerate being wronged, and soon they ran out of money. Li Menglan hurried to make soap, but because it was winter and many families had high expenses, the demand for soap was not great. Therefore, the two of them only earned a few taels of silver, and did not have much financial support to do other things.

Go out and find a job. Fu Zigui was the son of a second-rank official. He was regarded as a rich young man wherever he went. Everyone in Kyoto knew him, so how could he bring himself to work for others? Li Menglan didn't know how to embroider or do needlework. Apart from making some soap and some novel food, Fu Zigui was too embarrassed to help her. After only selling for half a month, Li Menglan was too tired to hold on.

The conflict between the two people became apparent. As a new-age woman, Li Menglan felt that it was not shameful for her to work hard to make money, but Fu Zigui felt that it was not shameful. There were too many friends in Kyoto who he used to play with. If they saw him, he would be completely embarrassed.

The two began to quarrel. Li Menglan despised Fu Zigui's male chauvinism and his insistence on saving face. However, Fu Zigui discovered that Li Menglan actually had a shrewish side. He felt that Li Menglan's previous appearance as a lady was a lie, and she did it just to marry into the Shangshu Mansion.

The two were very dissatisfied with each other.

At this time, news came from the imperial court that it was going to go to war with the Rongdi tribe. Fu Zigui immediately had an idea and discussed with Li Menglan that he might as well join the army himself, so that he could also earn an imperial edict for Li Menglan in the future.

Seeing the current state of the house, Li Menglan also wanted to be the superior one, so she agreed. The two of them became affectionate with each other, which was rare. However, just after they packed up their things, Fu Zigui came back with a dark face.

Li Menglan asked him what happened, and Fu Zigui said that Zhao Luochen had become a general and was now in Yixi City. If he went there, he might be retaliated against and even lose his life.

Fu Zigui didn't dare to go.

Li Menglan didn't dare to let Fu Zigui go. His life was hard now, but at least he was still alive. If he went to Zhao Luochen's territory, he might never come back.

At this time, Li Menglan and Fu Zigui were shocked. In their impression, Zhao Luochen should be the kind of spoiled young lady who was brought up in aristocracy, who would bully others when she disagreed with them, and would go back crying and complain when she couldn't bully them.

But now she is a female general who has fought on the battlefield.

Especially Li Menglan, she had only seen the legend of the female general in history books and TV dramas. For the first time, she truly felt that such a heroic female general was by her side.

Fu Zigui rarely thought of his ex-fiancee, the woman who was always dignified in front of him. He thought Luo Chen was the kind of woman who would stay in the backyard all her life to take care of her husband and children, and never thought that she had such a side.

Thinking of this, Fu Zigui imagined that if the engagement had not been cancelled at that time, the two of them would be fighting side by side on the battlefield now. After getting married in the future, Luo Chen would assist him in guarding the border, and the two of them would become a couple of war gods whose names would go down in history.

Fu Zigui smiled unconsciously, but then immediately put it away, feeling extremely panicked. How could he think like that? This was unfair to Li Menglan. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with his wife now, he had never thought that he would divorce Li Menglan and submit to Luo Chen.

Quickly get rid of the unrealistic thoughts in your mind and urge Li Menglan to cook.

Li Menglan was furious at this move. Why did she have to do all the housework at home? Fu Zigui just had to wait for food like a big boss every day. If he could make money, that would be fine, but it was Li Menglan who went out to make money during this period. Now she not only had to support herself, but also the man.

Li Menglan expressed her thoughts, and Fu Zigui looked at her as if she were a madman. But looking at her, these things were originally done by women, and a gentleman should stay away from the kitchen. How could a grown man like him do the work that women do? Besides, if he did all of them, what was the point of marrying a woman?

These words completely infuriated Li Menglan. She smashed the house to pieces and gave Fu Zigui an ultimatum: either go out and earn money or take care of all the housework, otherwise she would be left starving.
