The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool
Chapter 337 - 337 Resolution (2)337 Resolution (2)
When she heard Song Jingchen praise her, the smugness on Luo Yuanying’s face hadn’t disappeared. How could she be willing to be undermined by her grandfather? She said anxiously, “I just turned 15 this year.”
Fifteen was the right age to join the army.
Song Jingchen nodded and asked, “Do you want to join the army?”
Luo Yunying’s eyes lit up and she answered without thinking, “I’ve always hoped to become someone like Eldest Young Master.”
Song Jingchen seemed to be very satisfied with her answer. He smiled and said, “Although there’s no precedent of a woman joining the military in the past, it’s not impossible.”
His smile was like a spring breeze. Luo Yunying was instantly stunned.
He continued, “Once you join the army, you have to train with them every day like everyone else. If you give up halfway or violate the military rules, even if you’re Elder Luo’s granddaughter, you’ll be punished according to the military law. Are you willing to do that?”
She had to start as a regular soldier, without special treatment.
Because these soldiers had yet to go to the battlefield, Old Master Song was afraid that they would be lazy, so he set up a training plan for their promotion.
You may be a centurion today, but for any unfortunate “sacrifice” or poor performance in training, you’ll have to start from scratch tomorrow.
Luo Yunying paused. She was usually taught martial arts by Old General Luo himself. When had she ever trained with these people?
At most, she would wear her special armor to the training grounds to spar on a whim.
Then, she listened to others call her Little General Luo and accept everyone’s praise for her.
She hesitated for a moment and met Song Jingchen’s admiring gaze. Ignoring the looks that Old General Luo kept giving her, she said firmly, “I’m willing.”
Song Jingchen nodded in satisfaction and stopped looking at her. He waved at South Wind. “Go to the village and inform everyone that if there’s any 15-year-old women who want to join the army, they can register with General Du from today onwards. Everyone will be treated equally.”
He emphasized the last four words.
The special case that Luo Yunying had thought of was completely shattered by Song Jingchen’s arrangement. Her beautiful face instantly turned red and pale.
Shen Yijia was instantly amused. Her beautiful husband was too scheming.
His arrangement clearly made the Luo family feel aggrieved, but others would only think that he had no choice but to set this precedent because of the Luo family.
It turned out that there were benefits to showing weakness.
No matter what, Song Jingchen had completely planted the seed of disloyalty in everyone’s hearts today.
In fact, there were not many women in this mountain pass who did not know how to fight. It was just that no one was as high-profile as Luo Yunying. Moreover, they were not allowed to enter the military camp.
Du Huaiyu was the happiest when she heard the news. He chased after South Wind and kept asking questions. South Wind brushed her off, but she even happily brought him to inform each family.
Her father was also a general, but General Du was especially strict with his family. If the military rules said no, it meant no. No matter what others did, the Du family had to abide by them.
Du Huaiyu and Luo Yunying were the same age and had grown up together. Their family backgrounds were surprisingly similar. They had both been convicted by Emperor Chong’an and saved by Old Master Song. However, her grandfather had died before she was born.
However, the two people from the same family background did not become friends. Instead, they did not get along.
In the past, Luo Yunying had been showing off in front of her. Now that she could enter the military camp and finally vent her anger for the past 15 years, how could she not be happy?
Because of this matter, Song Jingchen’s plans to watch the military training was postponed. He left the military camp with Shen Yijia.
The dozen or so generals who were left behind looked at each other. They had been training for so long. It was fine if they could not show their skills. However, all of them wanted to perform and be recognized by the higher ups. Who knew how long this delay would take?
For a moment, even if they did not show it on their faces, they still criticized the Luo family in their hearts.
Old General Luo’s face darkened. He was the oldest here. He had never been so embarrassed. He could not even maintain his usual mask. He shouted at Luo Yunying, “Come home with me.”
With that, he strode away. However, at this moment, Uncle Yang’s voice sounded from behind.
“Eldest Young Master asked the four generals to go up the mountain.”
This referred to the small courtyard halfway up the mountain.
Old General Luo slowed down his pace for a long time, but Uncle Yang did not stop him. He was so angry that he secretly clenched his fists.
He was the only one among the five of them who was excluded. They did not trust him anymore.
