Hidden in the court

Chen Family

Chen Xing was sitting in the hall, with his mother in front of him. Chen Ju was huddled aside, staring at Chen Xing with a strange look on his face, but he didn't dare to speak.

Mother Chen laughed and said, "Xing'er, tell me how you killed more than forty enemies."

Chen Xing had just received an award and was so happy that he did not realize the hidden meaning in his mother's words and excitedly boasted to her.

He rolled up his sleeves and told vividly about his heroic deeds.

"To be honest, mother, there was an ambush by the enemy during the march. Most of the troops were heading straight for General Lu. I was close to them, so I reacted immediately and rushed into the enemy camp with a loud shout. With my BMW and sharp sword, I rushed left and right in the enemy camp. Wherever I went, there was no enemy who could stand up to me. They were like chickens and dogs. I killed them all.

Later I counted, guess what? Twenty-one, the whole battalion was blown away, General Lu even said I was better than my father was, hehe..."

Chen's mother's face was uncertain, and Chen Ju was frightened, but Chen Xing didn't seem to notice it. He even got so excited that he slammed the table and stood up.

"boom--"

"Your Majesty!"

"Pfft..."

Mother Chen slammed the table angrily and shouted.

There was a plop sound, and Chen Xing was still standing there in a daze, but Chen Ju next to him knelt down in response.

Chen Xing was stunned and looked at his father with a puzzled expression. Chen Ju reacted and smiled awkwardly. The look between the father and son was even more weird.

When Chen's mother saw this scene, she became even more furious.

"stand up!"

"Pfft..."

Just as Chen Ju stood up, Chen Xing knelt down again.

"Mom, I was wrong..."

"What's wrong?"

"The mistake is..."

Chen Xing couldn't answer it either. Could it be that he made a mistake in making such a great contribution?

When he was in a dilemma, he suddenly saw his father behind his mother making gestures at him.

"My mistake was that I shouldn't have put myself in danger and made my mother worry."

Upon hearing this, Chen's mother's expression eased slightly.

"It's good that you admit your mistakes. You don't have to return to the army. Go to the palace tomorrow to resign as the lieutenant."

The father and son's faces changed, and Chen Xing asked excitedly: "Why?"

Mother Chen took a deep breath and said firmly, "Your grandfather and your three uncles all died in the army. I won't say anything. It's just their bad luck. Your father has also fought in wars for half his life. Isn't that enough?"

"mother…"

Chen Xing felt bad too when he heard his mother crying. He knew all this. In the past, his father would be away for several months or even a year, and his mother would often cry. Sometimes when his father came back injured, his mother would cry even harder.

Although Chen Xing seems to have the same temperament as his father, he was actually raised by his mother since he was a child. Not only is he very sensitive, but he also hates to see his mother cry.

"Your father has been fine all this time. He is lucky. Every time he comes back, he will be injured."

After hearing this, Chen Ju stretched his neck.

"Well, this time there was no bump or scratch."

"Stand still!"

"Oh…"

Mother Chen was interrupted, and after a moment's adjustment, she continued to say to Chen Xing: "Why don't you just quit your job as a lieutenant, stay home peacefully, manage the shop, and live a peaceful life? Isn't that good?"

Chen Xing was silent.

After a long time, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes were as sharp as torches and his gaze was firm.

Seeing this, Chen Ju quickly made a gesture behind his back, meaning: "Submit first!"

"Mother, a man should think about serving his country. I promise that I can come back safely in the future. But I'm sorry that I'm unfilial and can't obey your order to resign!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Ju slapped himself in the face. It was over...

Mother Chen was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and finally said, "Okay, go down and have a rest."

Chen Xing was worried about his mother's condition and reached out to help her, but his mother waved her hand to refuse. Chen Xing had no choice but to retreat worriedly.

Chen Xing stepped back, and Chen's mother waved to Chen Ju.

Chen Ju’s big face immediately came forward.

"Madam, what's wrong...oh..."

Chen's mother flipped her palm, turned it into a claw, pinched his ear with two fingers, and twisted her wrist...

"You were the one who asked Xing'er to say that behind her back?"

When Chen Ju heard this, his eyes widened.

"It's unfair, it's unfair!"

"Do you think I'm deaf? You were fiddling around in the back for a long time just now, and Xing'er said this to me. It was not you who ordered it!"

Chen Ju immediately became excited when he heard this.

"I am innocent. I told him to give in, but he was stunned. It was not my order!"

Chen Ju only felt the force on his ears loosen, and he felt much more comfortable. Mrs. Chen's hands dropped weakly.

"So... those words are what my son really thinks?"

Seeing that his wife was sad again, Chen Ju held her shoulders and slowly held her in his arms.

"Do you know how worried I have been these days? It's not enough for you to go alone, and you want my son to go too? You taught him martial arts before, what did you tell me? You said it was to keep him fit and not let him join the army, you bastard..."

Chen Ju was helpless. What could he do with all the crying? It was nothing more than torturing himself. In the end, he had to listen.

Suddenly, Chen Ju's eyes rolled around, interrupting his wife's crying, and said excitedly: "Madam, don't cry first, there is a good news!"

"What good thing is more important than your son?"

"Hehe, this is great news, a lifelong event, our son has made great progress..."

When she heard that it was about her son, Chen's mother stopped crying.

"Lifelong event, Sheng Ying?"

Mrs. Chen said it all. Chen Ju could only stare blankly and scratch his head: "How do you know?"

"Snapped--"

Mrs. Chen raised her hand and threw a handful of silk.

"I asked you to go out every day. Have you forgotten that I raised your son? Has your son been close to other girls since he was a child?"

"Yes, yes, ma'am, that's right. So what do you think about this?"

"Why are you asking me? I have no objection, and his aunt is happy about it too. You should ask Lao Lu about this matter."

Upon hearing this, Chen Ju raised his eyebrows at first, and then began to frown again.

"How can I explain this? After all, it was our pig that ate the cabbages of others. I'm afraid Old Lu won't be happy..."

"Snapped--"

There was another crisp sound.

"How can you talk like that? Your son is a pig, so what are you?"

"Oh…"

Chen Ju nodded aggrievedly.

"Well, find a chance to talk to Old Lu. As long as he agrees, you two grown men don't have to worry about the rest. We will take care of it."

"Oh, I see."

Opposite Lu Family

Lu Shengying was pestering her father, and Lu Peng was now in a state of panic. During this trip, he also discovered the situation between his daughter and Chen Xing.

To be honest, Lu Peng was happy about it. After all, he had watched Chen Xing grow up, and this trip also allowed Lu Peng to see his future. However, his daughter's behavior of turning her elbow outward made him feel uncomfortable.
