"Major General Lan." Lan Luofeng looked at the First Marshal's wife with sadness and agitation in her eyes. However, she quickly suppressed her emotions and pretended that she didn't hear the First Marshal's wife. She only greeted her respectfully.
As the wives of the most elite members of the military, they would always be by their side. In order to make it easier for them to move around, these wives would be given fake military ranks. For example, the wives of the generals were all senior colonels. The wives of the three marshals were the highest rank, major generals.
The First Marshal's wife looked sad when she heard Lan Luofeng calling her Major General Lan. It seemed that her granddaughter hated the old man.
"Luofeng, don't be too angry. Let's talk nicely. Grandma is here. I will definitely help you." The First Marshal's wife steeled her heart and said firmly. This time, she would never let her granddaughter, who had been through so much, suffer any more grievances. She had had enough of it.
For the sake of the First Marshal, she endured. However, everyone had a temper. There was a limit. She had five sons. Four of them had the same temper as the old man. They were passionate about the battlefield. To be honest, when they went to the battlefield, she was already prepared to sacrifice herself. Thus, when reality came, no matter how painful it was, she still endured it. This was because she knew that this was the path her sons chose. They didn't regret it. No matter how sad she was, she couldn't regret it.
However, her fourth son was different. He was like her. He didn't have any desire for power. He didn't dream of becoming a hero. He only wanted to be a normal person. He wanted to take good care of his parents and his little sister. Thus, he fell in love with a normal girl. He only wanted to live a normal life. However, her husband continued to support him. The only one who didn't marry was her fourth son. Thus, he forced him to marry his only daughter.
She didn't expect her fourth son, who was always gentle, to have a hot-blooded side. He didn't want to marry her even when his father whipped him. It was her and her little sister who couldn't bear to see him like this. That was why they secretly let him leave the Lan family. They wanted him to run as far away as possible.
At that time, she would rather not see her son than see him get whipped to death by his father.
Unexpectedly, in order to reach an agreement, even if the man didn't come personally, he successfully tampered with the mainframe and allowed the woman to enter the Lan family openly as her fourth son's woman. As for Old Four's real wife, she could only become the wife of Old Four's other identity created by the imperial hacker out of anger.
Of course, there were even more disgusting things later on. She didn't want to talk about it anymore. Anyway, it was cleaned up in the end. The Lan Family was not a place for such a woman to trample on.
Originally, she thought that it would be fine for her fourth son and his family to live like this. Although they couldn't see each other often, she would still meet them privately from time to time. The First Marshal knew about it, but he just turned a blind eye to it. This was why she was able to endure it all this time. However, he didn't expect the First Marshal to take the initiative to send Old Four to the battlefield when the war started.
She was against it, but she didn't know what the First Marshal said to Old Four. Old Four actually agreed. Before he left, he asked her to take good care of his wife and daughter … He said that he would definitely come back, and then openly bring his wife and daughter back to the Lan family.
She was looking forward to it, but in the end, she received the news that her fourth son had died. She was so heartbroken that she fell unconscious for a few days.
When she woke up, she asked Little Six to look for Old Four's wife and daughter. However, she received another piece of bad news. Old Four's wife had committed suicide on the same day when she received the news of Old Four's death. She only left Lan Luofeng, who was supposed to be the little princess of the Lan family. She wanted to bring Luofeng back, but the vicious woman who had taken over Old Four's identity refused. She even used her power to try and kill Luofeng.
Little Six risked his life to save Luofeng's life. From then on, he was irreconcilable with that woman. He refused to marry her for the rest of his life so that he could use the power of the Lan family to protect his brother's bloodline.
She had let down Little Four and Little Six. The guilt made her value Lan Luofeng even more. It could be said that Lan Luofeng was her reverse scale. This was why the First Marshal's wife was so determined to stand by Lan Luofeng.
When Lan Luofeng heard the First Marshal's wife's words, her eyes lit up. However, she quickly calmed down.
"Major General Lan, I do have a request," Lan Luofeng said directly. She didn't come here to vent her anger. She had a motive.
"Okay, say it." The First Marshal's wife looked at Lan Luofeng with encouragement. She was prepared. Even if Lan Luofeng wanted a star, she would agree.
"The position of general of the 23rd division must be taken over by my son, Ling Lan," Lan Luofeng said calmly.
Hearing this, the First Marshal, who had been silent all this while, couldn't hold it in anymore. He shouted angrily, "Ridiculous!"
"How is it ridiculous?" Lan Luofeng asked fearlessly.
"The division belongs to the Federation. It's not your personal property. Do you really think that your son can inherit your father's business? What nonsense." The First Marshal snorted.
"Haha, the division belongs to the Federation. The 23rd division also doesn't belong to Ling Xiao. However, I have a question. First Marshal, please explain it to me. Which military law states that the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd divisions must be under the command of the First, Second, and Third Marshals? The 4th and 10th divisions have always been under the command of those few families. Why is it that no one else has a chance? "Lan Luofeng asked sharply.
"This has always been the rule," the First Marshal's face turned pale.
"If that's the case, why can't the 23rd division have this rule?" Lan Luofeng's gaze had a hint of mockery, coldness, and boldness. She didn't seem weak at all. Was this still the weak and fragile woman that needed to be protected? The First Marshal was stunned.
"Luofeng!" The First Marshal's wife suddenly covered her mouth. Tears welled up in her eyes.
In Lan Luofeng, she actually saw the stubbornness of her fourth son. It was almost the same as when he rebelled against his father. As expected, Lan Luofeng was a member of the Lan family. Her stubbornness was in her bones.
"You're dreaming. No one will agree to it." The First Marshal felt that Lan Luofeng had gone crazy. Was it because Ling Xiao's sacrifice was too much of a blow to her that she couldn't think straight anymore?
"If you don't do it, how do you know it won't work?" Lan Luofeng refused to admit defeat.
"I don't agree," the First Marshal replied directly.
"I don't need your agreement. I just want you to give up." Lan Luofeng smiled coldly. She didn't expect the First Marshal to agree. If he agreed, he wouldn't be the First Marshal anymore. She only hoped that the First Marshal would ignore her suggestion and not stop her.
"That's impossible." The First Marshal rejected her suggestion without thinking.
