Chapter 1709

Shi Anxia's eyes were red, but she smiled softly, "What did you say, aunt? I'm just bored. Is there something bothering you?"

Zheng Qiaoer handed over Tang Xinghe's letter, angrily, "Look at this, what is your cousin Xinghe saying?"

When Anxia was reading the letter, Qin Fangfei also came to Tinglanyuan with red eyes.

She also handed over a letter, "Princess, please take a look at it."

Tang Xinghe said in the letter that he hoped his mother would go to the Chi family to propose marriage.

Ma Chuyang also said in the letter that he hoped his mother would go to the Chi family to propose marriage.

Shi Anxia rubbed his brows and said, "They are really in sync. If it really doesn't work out, they can just go it alone."

"That's not necessary!" Zheng Qiao'er and Qin Fangfei responded at the same time. In the past, the two of them would have smiled at each other, but today they were in no mood.

Zheng Qiaoer spoke frankly, "It's not that I don't like the Chi family's daughter, but Xinghe's heart is clearly on Hongque. Before he went to the battle, he said that he would get married after the battle and accumulated military merits, and asked me to take care of Hongque. He suddenly changed his mind. If he ruined his life's happiness because of a momentary impulse, how bad would it be?"

In fact, Qin Fangfei was not as conflicted as Zheng Qiaoer.

In her opinion, if her son wanted to compete with Tang Xinghe for the bride... he would definitely not win. It was not that she felt that her son was not as good as Tang Xinghe, but her son had retreated since he learned that Tang Xinghe also had feelings for Hong Que.

Before he left for the war, he comforted his mother, saying, "When I have accumulated enough military merits and can walk proudly in front of the ancestors of the Ma family, I will see if there is a girl I like to marry. Don't worry, mother."

Qin Fangfei knew from then on that her son had withdrawn from the battle for the Red Magpie.

So, it was not impossible for her son to marry the Chi family girl. But after hearing what Zheng Qiaoer said, she hesitated again.

It was obvious that his son wanted to marry Chi Yue's sister because of her death. How could such a marriage be happy?

I also heard Zheng Qiaoer say, "Chi Yue died, and Xinghe felt very upset. He felt that it was the result of his own willfulness."

Qin Fangfei was silent for a moment, then sighed, "My son is the deputy vanguard, so he also has responsibilities. And he said that this matter was mainly instigated by him... He thought he was just playing around in the capital, so he just acted recklessly."

This proposal of marriage is also nonsense.

Shi Anxia didn't respond. After thinking for a while, he looked up and told Bei Hui to bring the letter written by Cen Yuan.

Bei Hui responded.

Shi Anxia said, "Just read this letter, don't tell anyone else."

Zheng Qiaoer and Qin Fangfei looked at it together, tears streaming down their faces. Only then did they realize that Commander Cen Yuan was so proud of his boys.

They thought their son was holding back because of his mischief.

Shi Anxia said gently, "This time, the eight of them have been wronged. Although it is a great military achievement, they cannot be too publicized, otherwise military discipline will become a decoration. But they have reduced the casualties of the Guicheng victory to a minimum with their own efforts. They are true heroes."

The two mothers burst into tears. Their sons were real heroes!

He almost lost his life!

Shi Anxia folded the letter gently and handed it back to the two of them. Her fingertips lingered on the letter for a moment. "Chi Yueming should have received a more grand reward, but it seems that this is not possible at the moment. My husband sent this letter back specifically because he hopes that I can take care of him and compensate him in other ways."

After a pause, he continued, "So don't rush the marriage. I'll send someone to the Chi family to find out what Chi Yue's sister is like now before making any plans. If we can help, we can help her privately. We don't necessarily have to tie them up by marriage. Over time, they become a couple that is resentful of each other, which is painful for everyone. Chi Yue's spirit in heaven won't be able to rest in peace."

Zheng Qiaoer nodded repeatedly in agreement, "Yes, yes, Xia'er is right. If the Chi family has any difficulties, we can lend a hand. As for marriage, it still has to be mutual love, so that life can be smooth. I guess Xinghe must think that only by marrying her can he protect her in the future. But if he really wants to protect her, why does he have to marry her? If I adopt that girl as my adopted daughter, won't that protect her the same way?"

"My aunt is right." Shi Anxia agreed, and felt that since no one else in the Chi family was mentioned, there must be some calculations within the Chi family.
