Li Jin saw that his concubine was still proudly showing off that his son Li Jihuan had become the Governor-General of the Central Plains. He had just scolded his wife, and now he gave them both fifty lashes and scolded the concubine.

"Shut up!"

Chen Anran was feeling proud of himself when he was suddenly scolded and froze in place.

She looked at her husband in confusion, really not understanding why she was scolded when she was praising her son?

Li Jin rolled his eyes at his concubine and said coldly, "What good position do you think the Governor of Central Plains is?"

Chen Anran: “???”

"Why did Your Majesty call a meeting so late at night today? It's because of urgent military intelligence from the Central Plains. The rebel Li Zhenbei has led a million refugees and surrounded Zhongjing! Your Majesty wants Ji Huan to rescue them!"

After Li Jin said these last words, Chen Anran's smug expression turned into shock and worry in the blink of an eye.

but……

It was only a moment, and soon Chen Anran snorted coldly and became proud again.

"So what? Brother Jin, Huan'er is the general of the Northern Liang Wolf Cavalry! This army is the most elite in the Great Qi. As long as Huan'er leads them to the Central Plains, won't those damn rebels be easily captured?"

As soon as the words fell, Li Jihuan couldn't help but yell, "Mother! Stop it! Those damned officials in the court used the safety of the capital as an excuse! They wouldn't let me take the Beiliang Wolf Riders with me, but instead told me to go to the Central Plains and gather garrison troops from all over the place!"

"what?"

As the concubine of General Li Jin, Chen Anran, a bedmate, had more or less heard about the corruption in the military garrisons across the country.

Let your son command such an army and defeat millions of rebels?

Chen Anran felt that this was no different from asking him to die.

"Oh my god! Brother Jin, with His Majesty's arrangement, isn't Huan'er essentially sending herself to her death? Why didn't you stop him? Why did you accept the order?"

She no longer had the arrogance she had before, and was now hysterical, pulling at her husband's sleeves and throwing a tantrum like a shrew.

Li Jin was so angry that he waved his hands, puffing his beard and glaring, and scolded: "Ridiculous! That is an imperial decree, who dares to disobey it? Moreover..."

Turning his head, he looked at Li Jihuan, furious: "This rebellious son jumped out and wanted to stop me from doing the work. What do you want me to do as your husband?"

Chen Anran's body stiffened upon hearing this. She turned around, tears streaming down her face, and looked at Li Jihuan in disbelief. She cried out in grief, "Huan'er! Wuwu... What are you doing? Why are you going to take on such a dangerous task? Is there no one else among the generals? You're just a child!"

Li Jihuan faced the Li family's people, especially the one sitting next to him cutting wood, but he looked at his elder brother Li Jize with a half-smile in his eyes.

His face flushed red, he clenched his fists and felt frustrated for a long time, but he couldn't utter a word.

Chen Anran was so angry that she pulled at his clothes, crying and howling, "Tell me? So many generals don't stand up, why do you have to stand up? If anything happens to you, what will I do as a mother?"

With a "puff", a burst of laughter was heard at an inappropriate time in the warm room.

but……

This time it was not Li Jize's laughter, but a woman's.

The whole family turned their heads at the same time, and coincidentally, they saw the "ugly girl" Wang Yuanya sitting by a brazier embroidering and grinning.

Seeing her, she didn't hide it. Instead, she looked at Chen Anran and said, "Auntie, you're so funny! Why would my brother-in-law take this job? Isn't it because he relies on the Beiliang Wolf Riders and doesn't take the Yi...rebels seriously? But who would have thought that after accepting this job, he would be told not to take the Beiliang Wolf Riders with him? He was so smart that he shot himself in the foot!"

In one sentence, the servants outside the room were so amused that they wanted to laugh but dared not.

Li Jihuan's face flushed red. It was a very cold day and his whole face was red as if he had been boiled.

"You ugly girl! Shut up!"

Li Jihuan was furious after being exposed for his attempt at pretense and being bullied. He pointed directly at Wang Yuanya and trembled with anger for a long time...

He pointed at Li Jize and scolded him, "At least, when the court is in danger, I am willing to stand up! Unlike him, who only knows how to carve wood at home!"

"Shut up!"

What’s surprising is…

As Li Jin scolded, the other woman also started cursing.

Everyone felt incredible!

because……

The one who scolded Li Jihuan was not Huang Suqiu, but his own mother Chen Anran!

Li Jihuan was in disbelief and turned to look at his mother in surprise, while Chen Anran walked up to him and slapped him in the face without any hesitation.

"How dare you! Ji Ze is your brother after all, and Yuan Ya is your sister-in-law. How can you be so rude?"

Li Jihuan: “???”

Li Jize: "..."

The entire Li family, including Li Jin, frowned, and everyone felt puzzled.

It's not snowing outside today, it's the sun setting in the east, right?

"Cough cough..."

The atmosphere in the entire room was truly strange. Old Lady Li, the most senior member of the Li family, couldn't help but cough and said, "Alright! An Ran, as long as Ji Huan knows he's wrong, that's all! Besides, my Li family has been loyal to the Great Qi for generations, ever since the time of Taizu. Since His Majesty still trusts our Li family, letting Ji Huan lead the troops to war is a good thing! No matter what, we can't weaken the Li family's reputation!"

Having said this, she called out to Li Jihuan, "Jihuan!"

Li Jihuan looked aggrieved, but facing Old Lady Li, he still politely bowed and said, "Grandson is here, Grandma!"

"You should prepare well and head to the Central Plains when the time comes."

"I……"

Li Jihuan wanted to cry but had no tears. He didn't want to go a thousand times!

At the critical moment, the concubine Chen Anran stood up. She said with a smile on her face, "Mother-in-law, you're going too far! The Li family still has the eldest son. When did it become the second son's turn to speak?"

Old Madam Li was stunned and looked at Chen Anran in confusion.

Everyone in the room looked at her in surprise.

Of course, except for Li Jize! He just had a playful smile on his face, while whittling wood, staring at Chen Anran, his stepmother.

Chen Anran's eyes were a little flustered and evasive, but he still had a playful smile on his face. He laughed and said, "Mother-in-law, Brother Jin, and... and sister! Mother-in-law just said it, the Li family has been loyal to Da Qi for generations! It is a great honor to be named by His Majesty to suppress the rebellion! But the Li family has always been inherited by the eldest son. Regarding the suppression of the rebellion... Brother Jin, you should report to His Majesty and let the eldest son Ji Ze lead the expedition!"

Her words caused the entire room to fall into complete silence.

Everyone looked at this "Li Family Concubine" in shock! I've seen shameless people before, but I've never seen someone so shameless!

In order to survive, you are willing to let a fool go to war instead?
