The number one spendthrift woman in the capital actually brings glory to her entire family?

"Fang Huixue? My God, Sikong Jin has actually become her subordinate?" Lan Zixi glanced at Tang Jingyao shyly, brushed his large hand away, and said reproachfully, "Don't do that... It's not good if others see this, they'll talk..."

Tang Jingyao immediately straightened his face, his tone unusually serious, "I'm holding my wife, who dares to talk nonsense? I'll sew his mouth shut and see if he dares to talk nonsense again!"

A happy smile graced Lan Zixi's beautiful face.

This man was handsome, talented, and held a high position of power. He was the dream man of many women in the capital, but he regarded those women as dirt and devoted himself to her. He pursued her for nearly five years, and after they got married, he poured all his tenderness and affection into her, showing her great care and pity.

With a husband like this, what more could a woman ask for?

“Ajin is still young and new to officialdom. He is also your good friend and brother, and the son of the Commander-in-Chief. You must take good care of him and help him whenever you can.”

Lan Zixi's father had previously worked under Sikong Qi, so she had some contact with him.

She regarded the renowned general Sikong Qi not only as an admired figure but also as her mentor, and she considered him a good friend as well.

"Don't worry, I can't let go of that idiot just like you. But Xi'er, aren't you worried that I'll get jealous when you ask me to be interested in other men like this?"

"Ugh, you know I didn't mean anything by it, you just like teasing me!"

"Who dares to mess with the clever Mrs. Tang? Tell me, and I'll settle the score with them!"

……

The couple kept talking back and forth, completely ignoring Ji Wuge. Almost every time Ji Wuge came to Tang Jingyao's house, she would be bombarded with such questions, and this time was no exception. Fortunately, Sikong Jin appeared in time to save Ji Wuge, who was covered in goosebumps.

Ji Wuge embellished Tang Jingyao and Lan Zixi's sweet and affectionate relationship to Sikong Jin in a very cheesy way. Tang Jingyao frowned and said that he was starved for love and was just being a sour grapes. The two almost got into a fight.

Sikong Jin laughed so hard she bent over, “Ji Ji, do you still remember Miss Jing Su from Malan City? She’s also deeply in love with you. If you marry her, I guarantee you’ll not only be in a high position of power, but you’ll also instantly become a super tycoon.”

"Get out of my way! My ideal woman should be gentle, virtuous, elegant, and have beautiful, soft hair..."

"Ah Jin, what are your plans next? I heard that the racetrack at Hilton is almost ready to be put into use?" Tang Jingyao turned to look at Sikong Jin, quickly cutting off Ji Wuge's long speech.

Sikong Jin took a sip of tea and sighed, "What other plans can I have? You don't know that the old woman in the Ministry of War ignored me twice today. I can only hope that the Emperor's birthday banquet and the Seventh National Congress of the Four Stars will end soon so I can get back to my Malan City and continue to be the Grand Commander of the Wangzhou Army."

“I think that’s impossible. You’ve forgotten, you have a fiancée. You’re both over fifteen now, so you can get married.”

Tang Jingyao's tone was somewhat heavy, "It would be entirely beneficial for you to have the Ninth Princess marry into the family as soon as possible, so you should take this matter seriously."

"Caring? I care more about my brothers in Wangzhou. Hey, Tang Tang, I heard you're quite familiar with Grand Secretary Meng Yi of the General Affairs Department. Could you ask him to do us a favor? Our brothers in Wangzhou need new equipment. Every time this guy approves some weapons, it's less than what he promised. As the Grand Secretary of the Judicial Department, are you going to take care of this or not?"

"The one who approved your march to Wangzhou was Liu Haibo. That old fellow is as cunning as a fox. I've tried to deal with him several times but haven't been able to find any evidence. Do you think you're the only one who's having this problem?"

“This is easy to handle, Ajin. I’ll discuss it with Lord Xingqi Tian later. From now on, all your military equipment will be distributed from the Hangu Wangzhou Military Region. All military equipment will be applied for from the General Affairs Department of Zhongzhou Association in the name of the Second Army of Hangu Wangzhou. I doubt that even if they are bold, they would not dare to withhold the equipment of our Second Army of Hangu Wangzhou.”

Ji Wuge's few words immediately solved Sikong Jin's problem.

Berger should have taken care of that matter by now, right?

"By the way, I heard that Lord Yukichi Ten went to the Dongyang Residence today and met with Crown Prince Dibei. Ajin, I think you should also find an opportunity to pay him a visit. Several Grand Secretaries of the Zhongzhou Society have tried to visit him these past few days, but they have all been turned away. Those old guys didn't look too happy."

That guy lives at the Dongyang Inn?

It doesn't seem to be too far from the Sikong Mansion...

Sikong Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and shrugged indifferently. "He even rejected the Grand Secretary, so why would he be happy to see an insignificant nobody like me? Come on, let's drink!"

"Didn't you say he was still your cousin?"

"My cousin would steal my woman? Get lost!"

……

After eating and drinking her fill, Sikong Jin chatted with Tang Jingyao and Ji Wuge for a while before returning to the Sikong Mansion.

"Third Young Master, the head of the family wants you to go to his study immediately upon your return."

As soon as Sikong Jin stepped through the door, the guard who delivered the message blocked her way.

"Homeowner?"

Sikong Jin glanced at the guard in surprise. Wasn't that old man hoping to avoid seeing her?

Following the guards to the door of the study, the heavily guarded guards did not conduct any further checks and let us through directly.

"Greetings, Fourth Young Master!"

Before Sikong Jin could even step inside, she saw Sikong Ming walk out with a gloomy expression. As he passed by Sikong Jin, he glanced at her disdainfully. Sikong Jin shrugged and silently went inside.

"This humble official greets Your Excellency, the Master!"

Sikong Jin stopped in front of the desk and bowed to Sikong Shu, who was looking down at the documents.

"coming!"

Sikong Shu looked up from the documents, his sharp eyes fixed on Sikong Jin with a cold and indifferent gaze, his tone seemingly chilling.

Upon seeing this, Sikong Jin's eyes widened in surprise as she stared at Sikong Shu's aged and dignified face, which was swollen and covered in bruises, making him look somewhat disheveled.

Did that old guy go out and get into a fight?

"The guards who summoned me said the patriarch is looking for me?"

Sikong Jin didn't ask any more questions. She could feel Sikong Shu's gaze sharpen in an instant, especially when she stared at his old face in surprise.

"Just got back from drinking with Prince Tang?"

Sikong Shu's tone was somewhat gloomy, and his eyes looked very strange.

"Yes, sir!" Sikong Jin bowed and said, "The Prince of Tang hosted a banquet to celebrate my success, and I drank a few too many cups."

"Excessive drinking leads to mistakes. An excellent general must always maintain a clear mind, especially in situations like this! As the Grand Commander of the Army, don't you even understand this principle?"
