"Number Four, this matter is a little complicated. You shouldn't get involved." The sister-in-law frowned slightly. If she didn't know the truth back then, she would probably think that Little Seven had gone overboard …
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Number Four was a smart person. When she heard the sister-in-law's words, she knew that the situation was complicated. She stopped being compassionate. In any case, she had to take care of her troublemaker first. That's right, the troublemaker of the Lan family, Lan Jin, was her biological grandson. His actions really made her and her daughter-in-law worry.
"Should we tell Mother about this?" the sister-in-law asked.
"Of course. I think Mother also wants to know about the Ling family," the sister-in-law replied.
The three of them walked together to the old madam's house. As soon as they entered the garden, they saw a graceful lady in her fifties or sixties. She was tending to the plants in the garden.
The three of them quickly went forward. They wanted to take over but were stopped by the lady.
"I've already asked you to do it. What else can I do?" the lady said calmly. Then, she continued tending to her precious plants.
"Mother, we're afraid that you'll be tired." Number Four had already lost the demeanor of a noble lady in front of the younger generation. Her expression and actions became cute.
"Alright, tell me. Why did you come here? With your personalities, you definitely wouldn't come here for a walk. "The lady knew her daughters-in-law too well.
"Mother, I just received news that Jin 'er got into a conflict with someone. Jin' er represented the Lan family and accepted the challenge." The sister-in-law didn't waste any time and directly told her what happened.
"Doesn't this kind of thing happen often? Since you came here specially, the other party must be different. Or should I say, Jin 'er finally kicked a board? " The lady calmly tended to the plants in front of her. If Lan Jin didn't cause trouble one day, she might be surprised.
"The other party is … from the Ling family." The sister-in-law emphasized the words' Ling family '.
The lady's hand suddenly paused. She slowly turned around and looked at her three daughters-in-law. She asked, "Ling Xiao's son?"
"Yes, Mother." The sister-in-law nodded.
"Jin 'er, it's time for you to be taught a lesson. Ling family, good!" The graceful lady suddenly laughed.
"However, it wasn't the Ling family who issued the challenge. It was one of his subordinates," the sister-in-law continued.
"I heard that the son of the Ling family suffered a backlash when he piloted a god-class mecha. He no longer has a healthy body, so it makes sense for his subordinate to challenge him." The elegant lady seemed to be very clear about Ling Lan's situation. She immediately deduced why it was her subordinates who made the move and not Ling Lan herself.
"I'm just worried that this matter will affect the old man." The sister-in-law's face turned serious. If the Lan family and the Ling family fell out, it would definitely ruin the Old Master's plans.
"What effect can it have?" The elegant lady sneered. "We're already trapped on Planet General to cultivate our minds. What else can we do? Also, if you can't even handle such a small matter, what's the point of being the First Marshal? You might as well come back and plant flowers for me. "
"Should we tell Father about this?" Listen to his opinion? " The second sister-in-law was still uncertain. If someone tried to sow discord between the old man and Ling Xiao, there would be a grudge between the old man and Ling Xiao. Right now, the old man needed Ling Xiao's support.
"I have to say something, but I don't need his opinion," the old madam replied calmly.
"Is that alright?" The Lan family relied on the old man to gain a foothold on Planet General. The three daughters-in-law were shocked when they heard the old madam's words.
"I might not know much about national affairs, but you must listen to me when it comes to family matters," the old madam replied firmly.
Because she listened to him, the sons she raised with much effort all died on the battlefield. She was a widow now. If it wasn't for the fact that she still had three children, she would have broken off all ties with that old man.
But even if that was the case, she still couldn't forget about what had happened to her third child. She pitied her granddaughter, the only child of her third child … Back then, when Xiao Qi secretly told her that the Lan family had given birth to a daughter, she was so excited that she flipped through all the genealogical dictionaries and named her Luofeng. As the name implied, she was the phoenix that the Lan family wanted to hold in their hands.
It was a pity that the treasure in her palm that she wanted to dote on had fallen into nothingness because of that old bastard who was full of power and wanted to climb to a high position. She couldn't even be given a name in the Lan Family's Yu generation. In the end, she could only change her division head to Lan Luofeng … Thinking of this, her heart ached.
Lan Yu, if anything happens to the descendant left behind by her third son, I won't let you off the hook.
The First Marshal hung up the call. His frown became even tighter.
After staying silent for a few seconds, he sighed. "How emotional. However, this time, they could also see which forces were ready to make a move. Also, it's time to test Ling Xiao. I hope he doesn't do anything stupid. "
The First Marshal turned around and dialed a communicator. Immediately, a surprised yet excited young face appeared on the virtual screen. "Great-grandfather."
A complicated expression flashed past the First Marshal's eyes. Did this form of address mean that he was really old?
"Rong 'er, I heard that you have a duel with someone?" The First Marshal asked calmly.
"Yes." Lan Rong instantly became nervous. He was afraid that his respected great-grandfather would scold him for this. The First Marshal's eyes flashed with regret.
Out of the three sons he left behind, one was completely useless. This one was already so old but still couldn't stay calm. The only one who had a good personality and satisfied him in all aspects just happened to be very average in terms of mecha piloting. It was very difficult for him to get promoted just by relying on his military merits. He could only rely on his experience in the military and use his time to exchange for his position.
If there wasn't someone like Ling Xiao and his son, who rose up the ranks like a rocket, the First Marshal might not be so dissatisfied. Unfortunately, there were two of them, especially Ling Lan. His speed of promotion wasn't any slower than his father's.
Sometimes, the First Marshal would reflect on himself. If he had chosen another person back then, this enviable son of his wouldn't have had nothing to do with the Lan family. He and Ling Xiao wouldn't have ended up like this.
However, this was just a sudden thought. The First Marshal, who was always calm and composed, immediately wiped away this last bit of regret. The reason why he was able to sit in this position was because he never regretted anything.
"Do you know who they are?" The First Marshal asked. If he still didn't know, after giving up on Lan Jin, he would probably have to give up on Lan Rong too.
"I know. They're from the Lingtian Mecha Clan. One of them should be Ling Xiao's son, Ling Lan." Lan Rong was indeed quite capable. He managed to investigate Ling Lan's group in such a short amount of time.
The First Marshal had a satisfied expression on his face. At least he didn't embarrass himself too much.
