Chapter 334 - 334 Jiajia's Rules
334 Jiajia’s Rules
Although this place was in the mountain pass, it was no different from the camp outside. The training grounds were surrounded by two gates, and there were soldiers guarding them.
When Shen Yijia arrived, she was stopped again. “Stop. Women are not allowed to enter the training grounds.”
After saying that, the two soldiers did not even look at Shen Yijia. They stood there motionless.
“Do you know who I am?” Shen Yijia was almost certain.
If they didn’t know who she was, they would have at least looked at her curiously when a stranger suddenly appeared.
After all, not just anyone could enter this place.
There was clearly something wrong with their reactions.
Hearing her question, the two soldiers glanced at her disdainfully. One of them said, “No matter who you are, the military camp is an important place. Women are not allowed to enter.”
Shen Yijia tilted her head and pointed at Miss Luo’s back. “What about her? Is she a man?”
“How dare you! How can you compare yourself to our Little General Luo? Not to mention that Little General Luo is Old General Luo’s granddaughter, even Little General Luo himself is not inferior to us men. Of course she can enter.” The soldier suddenly berated sternly.
Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes and pinched her fingers. She would be a fool if she couldn’t tell that these two people had been specially instructed to do so.
Thinking of something, she took a deep breath and temporarily resisted the urge to beat him up. She grinned and decided to reason with the two people in front of her first. “You said that she’s the granddaughter of that Old General Luo, right? Then does Old General Luo have a higher status here? Or does Song Jingchen have a higher status?”
What was so great about that old man? She had Song Jingchen.
The two soldiers choked. Naturally, Eldest Young Master had a higher status.
However, Eldest Young Master might not come even once a year. If they offended Young Madam, so be it.
The Luo family was different. If they went against Little General Luo’s wishes and let her in now, they would not have a good life here in the future.
It might even implicate their families.
Shen Yijia observed their expressions and did not wait for them to answer. She continued to ask, “Do you think that Little General Luo is not inferior to you men? Can I enter as long as I beat you up?”
She had no grudge against these two people. She couldn’t attack them for no reason, right? Besides, she didn’t want to cause trouble for her beautiful husband.
If reasoning was useless, she would try to persuade them with actions.
The two soldiers looked at each other. One of them could not help but push his spear forward. “Go, go. Why are you spouting so much nonsense? Apart from Little General Luo, no other women can enter this place.”
Looking at the spear in front of her, Shen Yijia was angry. She grabbed the middle of the handle.
The first rule in Jiajia’s book was to fight first and worry about the consequences later.
Luo Yuanying did not know that she had someone following her. She only reminded them because she felt that if the young madam suddenly appeared, she would definitely disturb her interaction with Eldest Young Master.
She also heard that that woman was the daughter of a small official in the capital. He was not even as senior as her grandfather’s previous position, so she did not think highly of her at all.
She heard from her mother that the daughters of rich families in the capital were all delicate, and the daughters of small families were even more unpresentable.
She did not believe that a man like Eldest Young Master would like such a useless woman, so she wanted to take this opportunity to let Eldest Young Master see the difference between her and that woman.
Even if Eldest Young Master found out, she was not afraid. There was a rule that women could not enter the training grounds, so she wasn’t doing anything unwarranted.
Apart from her, even Du Huaiyu could not enter this place.
She was unique. This was also her sense of superiority, making her feel that only she was worthy of Eldest Young Master.
In the meeting tent, Song Jingchen sat at the head of the table and watched expressionlessly as Old General Luo cried and complained about Old Master Song’s injustice. He then criticized Emperor Chong’an for being heartless.
However, this was not the end. Now, the old general began to praise the heavens for healing Song Jingchen’s legs.
His performance made the corners of the others’ mouths twitch.
Song Jingchen was expressionless as he said calmly, “Elder Luo, you’ve worked hard. I’ve seen everything you’ve done. I definitely won’t forget your contributions.”
Old General Luo paused for a moment, wiped his tears, and waved his hand. “I don’t dare to take credit. I only hope to see the old master avenged in my lifetime.”
Song Jingchen smiled and picked up the teacup on the table. “Elder Luo, you’re so considerate. I’ll toast you with tea instead of wine.”
The corners of Old General Luo’s mouth twitched. However, even after Song Jingchen finished his cup of tea, he had no intention of standing up.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with the people present, Song Jingchen asked them to disperse and gather everyone. He wanted to see the results of everyone’s training over the past two years.
The few of them naturally did not refuse. They cupped their hands and left, except for Old General Luo.
“Is there anything else, Elder Luo?” Song Jingchen asked curiously.
Old General Luo wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve. “I wonder which expert cured Eldest Young Master’s legs. My son’s legs have been crippled because of what happened back then. I wonder if you can ask that expert to take a look at my son.”
Actually, he wanted to ask why Song Jingchen had been hiding it from them.
If not for the fact that he thought Song Jingchen’s legs had yet to recover, he definitely wouldn’t have skipped out on welcoming Song Jingchen yesterday. He originally wanted to take him down a notch.
Later on, he heard that Song Jingchen had walked in. If he had gone over to greet him at that time, it would have been too deliberate. He could only put down his pride and perform that scene today.
“I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you, Elder Luo. It was only a wandering doctor who treated my leg. I don’t know where he went.” Song Jingchen sighed regretfully, then muttered, “Perhaps it’s really as you said, Elder Luo. Grandfather’s spirit in heaven protected me.”
Old General Luo had a total of two sons. The one he mentioned was the eldest son he should be proud of, Luo Yuanying’s father.
When Old Master Song saved their family, his legs had already been crippled.
“My son didn’t have that luck.” Old General Luo shook his head with a pained expression before cupping his hands and leaving.
Luo Yuanying happened to see her grandfather coming out. She took a few steps over and bowed seriously. “Grandfather.”
“Why are you here today?” Old General Luo frowned.
He had clearly instructed her not to come to the training grounds for the next two days.
“I’m here to pay my respects to Eldest Young Master.” Luo Yuanying said matter-of-factly.
“Nonsense. Do you really think you’re a general just because those people call you Little General Luo? Go back quickly.”
His eldest son got married when he was in the capital. Unfortunately, he did not have a son or a daughter until his legs were crippled.
However, he did not expect his eldest daughter-in-law to be pregnant within a few years of coming here. Although he was a little disappointed that she was a girl, he still doted on Luo Yuanying a little more when he thought that this might be his eldest son’s only child.
