In the main house of the Xiao family, servants came to deliver tea several times before quietly leaving.

The fragrance of tea lingered in the living room. Qin Ran had looked at the gifts that the Shen family had brought more than once. There were countless precious items, and none of them were not top quality goods that were as rare as phoenix feathers or qilin horns.

However, it didn't seem like they were just casually coming over to sit with such a pile of items.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao, ah, Brother Xiao, you tricked Brother Shen into a miserable state." Shen just wanted to use tea in place of wine to clink cups with Xiao Yao.

On the other hand, Xiao Yao scoffed, "Now that you know my daughter's ident.i.ty, you want to come to my Xiao family and propose marriage?"

Shen Tian lightly coughed, "Blame me for having a bad eye, blame me for having a bad eye, but you can't blame it all on me. Xiao Jing is too similar in disguise, I can't tell by myself, but the entire army doesn't know. This isn't just my eyes, it's child camouflage skills."

"The Shen family has really put in a lot of effort. It's just that no matter how rare this thing is, in my eyes, it's nothing more than worthless things. Brother Shen, you should take it back, otherwise, those who don't know of it will think that I, Xiao Yao, have sold my daughter."

"That won't do, rules are rules. We can't break the good traditions left behind by our ancestors, so proposing marriage is absolutely necessary." Old Mistress Shen gave Feng Shui, who was standing behind her, a sidelong glance.

Feng Shui was a little nervous. Facing the two marshals of the empire, he inexplicably felt that the skills he had learned were all part of a clown show.

"Looks like the Shen family has come prepared." Xiao Yuan expressionlessly stared at Feng Shui, who was walking forward. To put it nicely, he was just a charlatan, a liar who relied on his words to speak badly.

"Nowadays, society should not believe in these theories of yin and yang. However, there's no harm in looking at them. Speak, sir." Old Mistress Shen instructed.

Feng Shui turned the master of ceremonies in his hand.

Qin Shan said softly: "Master, what are you doing? Looking at my Feng Shui? "

Xiao Yao said with a smile that was not a smile: "It's just a formality."

Feng Shui stopped spinning and stood in the southwest corner of the main hall. He said: "Old madam, Marshal, and Madam, I have looked at the entire Xiao family's layout and found that it is a treasured land with the protection of a lucky star and the protection of a heroic soul.

"That's because of my Feng Shui." "Brother Shen, if you have something to say, can we not get rid of these mysterious things?"

"Brother Xiao, I also think that there is no need to be too serious about these things, but my mother had a good saying." Brother Xiao, I also think that there is no need to be too serious about these things, but my mother had a good saying, Shen Tian said.

When Xiao Yao heard these words, he couldn't help but frown. The hand holding the cup of water tightened unnaturally.

"I have already made mister watch the date. Next month is the 26th of the year, the auspicious day for the marriage ceremony. Our Shen family is also preparing to set the date for the wedding ceremony." Yan Jun went straight to the point.

"It's that urgent?" Qin Ran looked at her master.

Xiao Yao put down his teacup, "I already said that this matter cannot be rushed — —"

"Brother Xiao should also know why we suddenly became so anxious. This child's body is special right now, he's going to start the wedding three months from now. Otherwise, if we drag it out any longer, won't others know that our Shen Xiao family is getting married?" Shen Tian said.

"Sure enough, you did." Xiao Yao stood up from the sofa and his eyes met hers.

Qin Ran stood up at the same time and said in astonishment, "Master, Marshal means … Little Jing, she …"

Xiao Yuan unnoticeably nodded his head, "It was indeed as you imagined."

Qin Ran's face was filled with disbelief. "But didn't I hear that the Shen family's third young master —" She hastily swallowed back the superfluous words, feeling uneasy in her heart: Why does this child not know how to protect himself?

"Isn't this a good thing?" When Yan Jun saw Qin Yun's pale face, she shook her hand excitedly. "I have to praise this kid, Little Jing. She knows the general situation, is patient, and is modest and polite. She is a good child that cannot be trifled with."

"This child has always been humble because of me, General Shen Chengfeng being able to like her is her good fortune. I just did not expect that the child would have a child so soon, she seems to have just grown up in my eyes."

"She's braver than you think." Yan Jun led Qin Ran back to the sofa and said, "Tell me the details of the wedding. Our Shen family will prepare everything carefully."

"You can decide on this matter, I'm a woman, so it's inconvenient for me to get involved."

"How can I not get involved? You are her mother, and you are more qualified than anyone else. I heard that you made a wedding robe for your child. Can I take a look first?"

Qin Ran's face was as red as a peach. Her smile was gentle and moving as she personally led Yan Jun up to the second floor.

Seeing the two leaving, Xiao Yao regained some of his senses. He sat back on the sofa and pinched the bridge of his nose, "What is your Shen family trying to do?"

"Brother Xiao is still doubting the intentions of our Shen family? We really want to give our kids a wedding that's going to make them good. " Shen Tian said bluntly.

"You also said that your child's body is inconvenient. Aren't you afraid that it will backfire on you for doing such an urgent task? "You don't understand that it was hard for you to pity my child, but I still felt that it was hard for her."

"There is something that I think I must tell Marshal Xiao Yao." Old Madam Shen smiled brightly as she took out the checklist, "Xiao Jing is carrying two children right now. It can't be seen now, but it's different if you wait two more months. Does Marshal Xiao Yao want the child to be among the guests with a big belly?"

Xiao Yao picked up the checklist and looked at it more closely than the military report. He asked in surprise: "Old madam, is this true?"

"You don't believe me, do you? "I still can't see the month carefully, in another month I will be able to make a diagnosis. But it seems like the current situation is indeed true."

Xiao Yao forcefully patted his thigh, "Good, good, as expected of my, Xiao Yao's, child."

"Wait, it was my son who helped." Shen Yi added the previous sentence.

Xiao Yao coldly glanced at him and coughed, "Since things have already come to this, it is not easy to delay the marriage of children for too long."

"Has Marshal Xiao Yao agreed to the wedding date?" Old Mistress Shen asked.

Xiao Yuan nodded, "Wait a moment, I will announce it in the name of the leader of the Xiao family."

"Are you going to immediately reveal Xiao Jing's ident.i.ty?" Shen Yi obviously hadn't expected him to do this.

"Could it be that you want to hide your true self and let your child marry into your Shen family?" Xiao Yao retorted.

"I don't think the Shen family can be treated as outsiders. If the matter is made public then the military will pay attention to it too."

"Our Xiao clan is able to resolve this pressure." It was hard for Xiao Yao to conceal the joy on his face that he was about to become a grandfather. After taking two sips of tea, the tea today was exceptionally sweet.

Late at night, a piece of news shocked the empire.

The third young master of the Shen family, Shen Chengfeng, was about to get married.

The fourth young master of the Xiao family was also happy about his wedding.

If these two pieces of news were on any separate page, they would be the hot headlines for a long time, but if these two pieces of news were combined into one page, it would be somewhat confusing.

The third son of the Shen family, General Shen Chengfeng, was married. This was the greatest matter of the entire Hua Yun Country. He was married to the fourth son of the Xiao family, Xiao Jing.

Wait, something doesn't seem right. The third young master of the Shen family and the fourth young master of the Xiao family are both young masters.

Hahaha, as expected of the Wealthy and Prominent Cla.s.s. They even played with marriage so fresh and refined.

Another hour later, another press conference had taken place. The entire Board of War had experienced a magnitude 9 earthquake. No one could believe it.

Facing all the cameras, Xiao Yao bowed apologetically and announced in a vigorous voice: "I'm very sorry. Today, I will use this method to tell everyone the truth. The Fourth Young Master of my family, Xiao Jing, is actually a girl!"

Like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, the military department immediately convened an emergency meeting that night. The group of leaders were all sitting in the meeting room with serious expressions.

"Whap." The Head General of the Military Department smacked the table and stood up in anger, "What exactly happened? What about Marshal Xiao Yao? Where's Xiao Jing? What about the two clients? "

An officer knocked on the door and entered the meeting room, hesitating to speak, "Just now, Marshal Xiao Yao called and said that he was busy with matters concerning the wedding. You are in charge of this matter, he has no objections."

The Shen family and the Xiao family were not ordinary military families. If there was even the slightest deviation from the plan, not only would it cause a tsunami of disaster for the military, but it would also attract the attention of the entire society. Xiao Jing's military exploits were not something that could be wiped out for no reason. At that time, the pressure of the public opinion, as well as the pressure from the two great families, would be enough to make things difficult for them.

Xiao Jing did make a mistake, but her mistake was limited to hiding her ident.i.ty as a woman. In the military, she didn't lose anything to the Iron Eagle Squad, but on the contrary, she had engraved the countless achievements she had made last year on her military record.

"Elder Qi, I feel that we can let this matter go and let this matter go. Actually, if we change our positions and think about it, although Colonel Xiao is deceiving us, her achievements are all here. She's a hero, that's understandable." Another person said.

"However, we can't completely ignore this matter. Otherwise, if anyone makes a mistake in the future, can we just make a few meritorious services and then get rid of them?" "The military is a place where the public and the private are distinct. The meritorious service is the meritorious service. The meritorious service is recorded. If there is a meritorious service, the military will be punished." Another person said.

"It's not like we can't settle the dispute here. No matter what, Colonel Xiao Jing will be coming to the military headquarters to inform General Shen Chengfeng and have him personally bring Colonel Xiao Jing here." Elder Qi stood up from his chair and quickly walked out of the meeting room.

The discussion in the large meeting room was naturally mixed with mixed feelings.

As the night deepened, the sounds of footsteps could be heard coming and going in the hospital.

Xiao Jing sat on the bedside as she listened to the commotion outside. She asked with some unease, "Captain, what's going on today? Why do I feel like something is amiss? "

Shen Chengfeng peeled an apple, this was also his first time peeling an apple that was the size of a sandbag, but he had tortured an apple to the size of a ping pong ball.

Xiao Jing frowned, "You took so much time just to throw away the fruit and leave me a core?"

Shen Chengfeng put down his fruit knife, "I will train hard in the future."

"Captain, what's going on outside?"

"You don't have to worry about that." Shen Chengfeng suppressed the body that she was trying to stand up.

Xiao Jing felt that the matter definitely wasn't simple. She rested a hand on her chin and asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"

"What can I hide from you?" Shen Chengfeng did not answer and asked.

After thinking about it for a while, Xiao Jing realized that the Captain really didn't have anything to hide from her.

Shen Chengfeng looked at the time and said, "It's getting late, go to sleep."

Xiao Jing obediently laid back down on the bed and tightly held the captain's hand, just like a baby that was constantly holding the hands of its parents.

Shen Chengfeng laid on his side beside her, his right hand caressed her back with a serious tone and said, "Sleep, I'll be right here."

Xiao Jing sniffed his body and closed her eyes in satisfaction.

The moonlight gently fell on the windowsill, and the tightly shut door was silently opened by someone. Then, it was gently closed.

An off-road vehicle quickly drove past the oil docks and finally stopped at the military headquarters.

The guard checked the visitor's ID and let him in with a salute.

Elder Qi was a high-ranking officer of the older generation, and was also currently the most respected leader. His expression was grave as he looked at the newcomer, and he took a sip of tea to refresh his spirit.

Shen Chengfeng stood at attention, saluted and said: "Sir."

"Let's sit down and talk." Elder Qi put down his teacup. "Would you like a cup?"

"No need."

"I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep tonight." "Your granny and I were old comrades; naturally, we watched you grow up. I had always thought that poor children like you would have to live a lonely life, never having thought that there would be such a bright day, never having imagined that the celebration of the entire country would result in something so ridiculous."

"I've worried you."

"What's going on with Xiao Jing?" Old Qi no longer bothered with them and asked directly.

Shen Chengfeng replied firmly, "She is a girl, I knew it from the beginning."

"So, should I praise you for being so perceptive?"

"I just wanted to tell you the truth. I was the one who instigated her concealment."

"Do I have to praise your deep roots in love again?"

"Lordmaster, you watched me grow up, so you naturally know that I'm serious. No one can control me."

After a while, he let out a sigh. "Forget it, it's rare for a child like you to be in love with someone for the first time. Even if you're not aware of your work and Xiao Jing's work, you should at least give your granny some face."

Shen Chengfeng stood up, raising his head and chest out as he saluted, "Yes, Sir."

"Don't worry, I won't punish you, but Xiao Jing can't stay in the army." Old Qi said firmly.

Shen Chengfeng lowered his hand and returned to his chair, "I don't think I will listen to my superior's orders. Xiao Jing's concealment did not involve any loss to the military, so why did she receive such a heavy punishment? It directly took away her military record! "

"Child, it's hard to shut people up. You know better than me that I can turn a blind eye to her and not punish her. If I keep her in the army, not only will it be against the rules, but we will also help each other."

"Old man, I don't agree with your words." Old man, I don't agree with your words.

"What a fearsome saying. This is an era where informationization is developing at a rapid pace. Anything can be publicized through the internet. Do you think that Xiao Jing can hide this matter peacefully?"

Shen Chengfeng remained neither humble nor arrogant as he said, "Yes, I am able to hide it peacefully."

Old Qi frowned. It wasn't hard to tell from this child's tone that he had hardened his heart to protect Xiao Jing.

"She's not wrong. If she leaves the army at this time, it would seem like she has committed a heinous crime and her ident.i.ty would be removed. I definitely won't allow such a stain to forcefully be applied to her." Shen Chengfeng stood up.

Old Qi stood up as well. "Child, you don't understand …"

"Old man, you are also a hero who has led an army in war, you know what a real battlefield is, that is not something that can be shown just by casually compiling stories, every one of us in the special forces are covered in wounds, every one of our glory is a deal made with death. If I agree to let her leave the army, then I would have completely rejected all the merits that she had to put in all her effort to obtain it, this is unfair to her, and even more so disrespectful to her."

"..."

"Special team isn't as simple as you say it is, and her current situation isn't as simple as others imagined. You should understand us better."
