Translator: Lordbluefire
Shen Ruojing followed Yan Zixuan to the office of Family Leader Yan.
With an angry face, Family Leader Yan led the way. Upon entering the room and hearing the door close behind him, he immediately turned around, ready to start a violent reprimand. However, to his surprise, he found Shen Ruojing there as well.
This instantly extinguished his anger.
He couldn’t help but cough and then look at Shen Ruojing. “Princess, why did you follow us?”
Shen Ruojing casually replied, “What, Uncle Yan, am I not allowed to be here?”
This place was the Yan family’s army base, but at least nominally, it was also part of Country A’s military. As their princess, wasn’t Shen Ruojing free to come and go as she pleased? Her seemingly lighthearted words were actually a rhetorical question, causing Family Leader Yan to cough again. “No, no, that’s not what I meant…”
After saying that, he coughed again and looked at Yan Zixuan. “I called you here to tell you that I do not approve of your relationship with Luo Yan!”
Yan Zixuan immediately asked, “Why?”
Family Leader Yan frowned. “What do you mean, why? Don’t you know about the hatred between our two families? Don’t you know how your Uncle Liu’s arm was broken? And in the army, so many soldiers have had conflicts with the Luo family. If you marry their daughter, how can our Yan family face those soldiers in the future?”
Yan Zixuan furrowed his brows.
He suddenly couldn’t speak.
Although Country A’s army claimed to be united, it was actually divided into three factions.
Over the years, the three factions had been competing against each other. Their disputes and grudges were not something that could be resolved with a few words.
This was a matter of family feuds!
Yan Zixuan frowned. “So Luo Yan and I are like a modern Romeo and Juliet?”
Family Leader Yan twitched his mouth upon hearing this description.
He felt that his son was really good at glorifying himself.
He couldn’t help but speak up, “Don’t indulge in your own fantasies here. In short, I don’t approve of your relationship with Luo Yan! If you just want to talk with her, I don’t care. After all, you’re a boy, and our family won’t lose out. But if you want to marry her, let me tell you something… no way!”
After saying these words, Family Leader Yan wanted to remind his son to keep an eye on Luo Yan, so she wouldn’t pass on any important information about the martial arts competition to the Luo family. But as the words reached his lips, he saw Shen Ruojing standing beside him.
He took a deep breath and then turned to leave.
After Family Leader Yan left, Yan Zixuan seemed to have lost all his strength, slumping onto the sofa.
Seeing his condition, Shen Ruojing approached and asked, “What happened to Uncle Liu?”
Yan Zixuan sighed and explained, “During the martial arts competition two years ago, Uncle Liu was determined to win the championship. But during the battle against the Luo family, someone played dirty, and his arm was fractured. After it healed, Uncle Liu could no longer compete and had to be moved to the rear to aid in logistics.”
Yan Zixuan rubbed his face. “I was too naive before, thinking that as long as Luo Yan and I were happy with each other, that would be enough. But I forgot about the deep-rooted national and family enmity between us.”
Shen Ruojing.
Yan Zixuan rubbed his face again and said, “Cousin, what should I do now? Do I have to make a pact with Luo Yan and find a place for us to be buried together?”
Shen Ruojing.
She knew that Uncle Liu’s incident was just a microcosm of the conflict between the two armies. Over the years, both sides, no, all three factions had countless grievances.
It wasn’t something that could be resolved with a few words.
The military of Country A was based on a triangular standoff, yet it was the most stable system…
Shen Ruojing lowered her gaze, patted Yan Zixuan’s shoulder, and slowly said, “The army is a weapon of the nation, not for your three families to arm yourselves. So, your initial understanding of the army was wrong.”
What she wanted was not only to subdue the Yan family’s army, but also the Luo family and the Ji family’s armies!
Only when the three armies were united and under the control of the royal family could Princess Shen Ruojing truly wield power and do as she pleased.
As long as she had control of all three armies, the difficulties Yan Zixuan and Luo Yan faced would be insignificant.
For at that time, all three armies would be one family, and where would there be hatred to speak of?
Meanwhile,
At the Luo family residence.
Uncle Luo and Family Leader Luo returned home.
Family Leader Luo directly opened the ancestral hall to preside over the division of the family.
After inviting the elders of the clan and explaining the situation, the two began to divide the family’s assets.
In the end, Family Leader Luo looked at Uncle Luo again and said directly, “Old Second, I think Yan Yan might really bring us a surprise. Arc you sure you want to split the family?”
Uncle Luo looked at Family Leader Luo steadily, “Big Brother, I don’t see what they can bring. Ten female soldiers, do they really want to win the championship in a martial arts competition? Anyway, I don’t want my daughter to be dragged down by Luo Yan anymore. Actually, you don’t have to split the family, just drive Luo Yan out of the house. Remove her from the family tree, and our second branch will continue to support all decisions of the main branch!”
Family Leader Luo sighed quietly. “Are you sure you won’t regret it? Once you leave, you can’t come back.”
“No regrets.”
Uncle Luo’s words were firm, but he never thought that karma would come so quickly..
