Tong Huaqiong looked at the person in front of her.

The person standing in front of her at this time was not the mighty general, but Min Hanniu from Heilongtan.

"Brother Hanniu, from the moment you joined the army I knew you had a righteous heart and a promising future. Later I heard that you became a mighty general, and I was proud of you. You have been brave and passionate since childhood, and you have indeed achieved something after arriving on the battlefield. My peaceful life today is inseparable from your defense of our country. Brother Hanniu, thank you for your hard work on the battlefield." Tong Huaqiong said with a smile.

Min Hanniu looked at Tong Huaqiong. Tong Huaqiong smiled and looked at Min Hanniu calmly.

A piece of ice in Min Hanniu's heart slowly cracked and turned into warm spring water.

Since joining the army, he has achieved many accomplishments on the battlefield, so many that he himself cannot even count them all.

He had received praise from the enemy, praise from the late emperor and the current emperor in imperial edicts, and praise from the people he protected. He was accustomed to all the praise.

It didn't cause the slightest ripple in my heart.

Only Tong Da Jiao's praise made him excited.

At this moment, he felt that all the bloody battles were worth it.

He thought Tong Da Jiao didn't know about his achievements.

It turns out she knew everything.

For so many years he himself was unaware of his obsession, until today he clearly understood that he wanted Tong Da Jiao to know his achievements on the battlefield.

He once thought, what would Tong Da Jiao think if she knew that he had become a mighty general?

"You know everything about me?" Min Hanniu was very shy at this moment.

"Yes, there are stories among the people about how you killed enemies and became a great general. Every time I hear them, I think Brother Hanniu is great."

Tong Da Jiao already knew it, so he didn't need to tell her in person.

Tong Da Jiao said she was proud of him.

Apart from this, she has no other thoughts, no regrets, no admiration, just like her reaction when her close friends and family achieve success.

Min Hanniu thought that Tong Dajiao had let her go long ago.

The mighty general suddenly felt relieved when he saw Tong Huaqiong's smile.

"Sister Tong, I am sorry for being rude. Chengmin is Baozhen's only child. If Baozhen knew that you and she were her in-laws, she would be so happy. Don't worry, Taohua will not be wronged if she marries into this family. If the Su family makes trouble, I will be the first one to object." Min Hanniu turned back into a mighty general. His face returned to normal and he began to discuss his nephew's marriage with a smile.

Tong Huaqiong secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Min Hanniu's expression.

As Su Chengmin's uncle, after Gu Taohua and Su Chengmin got married, Tong Huaqiong would inevitably have to deal with Min Hanniu.

If Min Hanniu continued to indulge in memories of the past and treated her the same way he treated Tong Dajiao, she would not be able to bear it.

She didn't want to have any emotional involvement with any man in this world.

Moreover, as a modern soul in her twenties, she really can't do anything to a middle-aged inexperienced man, even if this middle-aged man is at the ceiling level of the uncle circle.

She couldn't accept the age difference.

"Sister Tong, you have been smart and capable since you were young. I am so pleased to see that you are doing well in business and living a good life now. From now on, I will only treat you as my sister and will not think of anything else. I will definitely not make things difficult for you, Sister Tong. I also hope that Sister Tong will not dislike me and avoid me." Seeing that Tong Huaqiong did not respond, Min Hanniu simply brought up the subject.

This guy can finally put aside his beautiful thoughts.

She didn't want Min Hanniu to continue treating her as his first love and thinking about renewing their past relationship.

She is Tong Huaqiong, not Tong Dajiao.

Tong Huaqiong said with an unchanged smile: "Brother Hanniu, I believe you. We will be relatives from now on. After Chengmin and Taohua get married, you, as their uncle, will need to take care of them more."

The mighty general said: "I will live up to your trust."

The two finally talked it out.

Tong Huaqiong felt that it would be very comfortable to get along like this in the future.

Min Hanniu also felt that joking and chatting naturally with Tong Dajiao was not as difficult as he had imagined.

From now on, he will keep his feelings for Tong Dajiao hidden in his heart and treat her like his own sister.

"Brother Hanniu, let's go to the front."

Now that the topic has been brought up, it would be awkward for the two of them to stay in the garden at the back, so they might as well go to the guest area up front.

Min Hanniu nodded, put his hands behind his back, and resumed his demeanor as a mighty general.

When everyone saw Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general coming from the flower stand in the backyard, they didn't think there was anything wrong with a man and a woman being alone together.

After all, Su Chengmin is half the son of the mighty general, so it is normal for the mighty general to discuss the marriage with his in-laws.

"The nephew is engaged, but the uncle is still single." The Duke of England's daughter-in-law couldn't help but sigh.

The third wife of the Ningguo family continued, "The general is a romantic man. He said that he misses his childhood sweetheart. In my opinion, it's all an excuse. What kind of childhood sweetheart can make a man miss her for a lifetime?"

The sister of the third wife of Duke Ningguo fell in love with the mighty general. The Ning family also wanted to win over a military general, so they lowered their status and came to propose marriage, but was rejected by the mighty general. His sister wasted many years for the mighty general, and when she was 25 years old, when there were no suitable young talents in the Shengjing aristocratic families, she was forced to marry a minor official who was sent out to the outside.

She has always remembered this grudge.

In her opinion, the mighty general would rather remain single all his life than refuse a marriage with a noble family.

His purpose was to gain the emperor's trust. From this perspective, he was a very ruthless person.

"The mighty general grew up in the countryside of Ningcheng, so his childhood sweetheart must be from the same village. Isn't the common grandmother of the crown prince, Suifeng Xiangjun, also from the countryside of Ningcheng? Could she be the mighty general's childhood sweetheart?" The wife of Lord Qin from the Ministry of Revenue glanced at the figures of Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general and said with a gossipy look on her face.

"I was wondering why Su Chengmin was engaged to Gu Taohua. It turns out there's this kind of relationship between them."

When people gossip about their master in front of him, no one dares to respond no matter how curious they are.

But it doesn’t mean that everyone has no ideas about this.

So everyone's eyes fell on Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general not far away.

At this time, Tong Huaqiong and the mighty general came to Old Lady Min and discussed things with her.

Old Mrs. Min patted Tong Huaqiong's hands and smiled brightly.

No one who saw this scene would believe that Tong Huaqiong and Old Lady Min were not old acquaintances.

The female guests present were all thinking tactfully, trying to guess whether the mighty general's childhood sweetheart was Tong Huaqiong.

Huang Jingshan's face turned cold when she heard Mrs. Qin scolding Tong Huaqiong.

"Mrs. Lu, you are from Ningcheng. Have you heard of the childhood sweetheart of the mighty general in your hometown?" Mrs. Qin asked Huang Jingshan without waiting for her to start retorting.

Lord Qin and Lu Zhaoyang were both in the Ministry of Revenue. When Mobei invaded the border, one of them was a peace advocate and the other was a war advocate. Until now, the two have been sworn enemies. Therefore, the two ladies have hardly interacted with each other in social occasions.

Tong Huaqiong did not send an invitation to the Qin family. When Lord Qin learned that the Crown Prince had arrived at the Gu family, he took the initiative to bring his wife to the door to congratulate them.

Huang Jingshan had a grim expression on her face. Mrs. Qin always used her outspoken character to unscrupulously gather information, and then distorted and exaggerated the information before spreading it.

All the rumors about the women in the inner court of Shengjing came from Madam Qin.

Huang Jingshan looked down upon this behavior.

"Today is Aunt Tong's daughter's engagement party. Even this table of delicious food and wine cannot stop the malicious mouths."
