Chapter 413 Ling Feng (1)
"Mr. Ling is too polite. I have heard of the family traditions of the Ling family. Otherwise, Ling Feng's father would not have set up a separate courtyard." Fang Chen said, and Mr. Ling nodded in shame. "General, what you said is very true. All disciples of our Ling family can only marry one wife in their lifetime and are not allowed to take concubines. This has been the rule of our ancestors for many years."
"I didn't expect that Mr. Ling's son would dare to break the rules." Mr. Ling felt that he had lost all face. "No wonder that kid was so angry."
"Ling Feng didn't want the Ling family to be embarrassed, so he kept it to himself, which led to his drastic change in personality." Fang Chen said, "If you talk it out, he will let it go."
"Thank you, General." Ling thanked him and decided to deal with the matter immediately after his son and grandson arrived.
Absolutely not, my daughter-in-law must not know.
After meeting Fang Chen, the three of them felt more at ease. They didn't expect that General Weiwu would live in seclusion here. With his wife's food to survive and General Weiwu's presence here, there is no place in the world safer and more comfortable than here.
On the way back to the guest room from the living room, Mr. Zhang suddenly said, "The general has been following Madam Ji just now... Could it be that Madam Ji is actually the general's wife?"
"Go back to your room and rest." Old Hu and Old Ling looked at each other and were surprised by Old Zhang's roughness. Fang Chen had been standing next to Ji Xiaomu, with such an obvious protective attitude. Apart from being the general's sweetheart, who else could there be?
Zhang Lao was stunned to see the two people abandon him and go back to the room. After a while, he patted his forehead and said, "Ah! Pig brain, I just remembered now that these two old guys have seen through it a long time ago. What a joke."
Ji Xiaou and Fang Chen did not return to the village, but stayed in Ji's mansion. Lying on the big bed in the master bedroom, Ji Xiaou was thinking about the kang at home.
It turns out that no place is better than your own.
"What's wrong?" Fang Chen asked when he saw Ji Xiaomu tossing and turning.
"...Alas, I am not destined to enjoy happiness. Even though I sleep on such a good bed, I miss the kang at home." Aunt Ji sighed.
Fang Chen took her into his arms with amusement.
"Not only you, I want it too." Fang Chen said, but Ji Xiaomu didn't believe it. "You are here to comfort me, right?"
"How can this comfort you? When have I ever lied to you? When I was little, my only wish was to have a house of my own and live the simplest life. I would marry a wife, and I would farm while you would weave cloth. Then we would have a baby. It was that simple. Even if I became a general and achieved great success when I grew up, and I could have wealth and honor as long as I wanted, I would feel nothing but emptiness in that place."
"No amount of money can satisfy my little wish, nor fill the emptiness in my heart." Fang Chen hugged Ji Xiaomu and said, "To be honest, I was relieved to leave that place. I would rather hide my identity than accept the emperor's 'gift'."
"Everyone thinks I'm tough, but actually..." Fang Chen sighed softly.
"In fact, the emperor's thoughts are exactly what you want. You followed the emperor's wishes and left the capital, and also protected them." Ji Xiaomu said for him.
Fang Chen chuckled and nodded. "So I never thought of coming out of seclusion from the beginning, but you are right. There is no quiet place in this world. It doesn't matter where you go. Once there is a war, you won't be safe no matter where you hide. It's better to fight and create a quiet place yourself."
"Are you really not attached to that position? When you really stabilize this place, their ambitions will grow bigger and bigger, and they will not be satisfied with this place." Ji Xiaomu looked at Fang Chen.
