"What?"
Cao Yin always thought that the situation of parents burying their children wouldn’t happen to him, so when he heard Long Yue’s words, he was stunned.
His gaze scattered instantly, the huge blow made his head spin, the whole world seed to lose sound, his body staggered backward.
"Bang!"
He hit the table.
"General Cao!"
Li Qingmu stepped forward to support him, with Li Qingmu’s help, Cao Yin didn’t fall.
He stared blankly into the distance for a long ti before gradually regaining his senses. He tried to take a deep breath and calm his emotions, then slowly looked at Long Yue, his voice filled with uncontrollable grief, "Yue’er, tell your grandpa... how did your mother die?"
"Five years ago... she died of illness."
"Died of illness? Humph! Wasn’t she angered to death?" Cao Yin’s temper flared instantly. His Wan Jun was only thirty-three years old, grew up healthier than her brothers, how could she die of illness?
"Pang Wenzheng, that damn traitor! I knew he was no good, but your mom insisted on being with him, and what happened? Once he got a high position, he started taking in new lovers!"
He pounded his fist on the desk with heavy breathing and cursed, "That bastard isn’t worth a damn! Your mom had a stubborn temper, but she wasn’t intolerant of others. It must have been that damn bastard who let those vile won bully your mother! That’s why your mom got sick from anger, right?"
A mother knows her son best, a father knows his daughter, truly like father, like daughter, Cao Yin understood the situation imdiately.
Long Yue thought of Liu Bingxin’s fake face and was equally furious, nodding, "Yes!"
"Damn it, I’m going to kill that bastard!"
With rage rising, Cao Yin pulled out his long blade with a clashing sound and stord out.
"General Cao, please calm down!"
Li Qingmu feared that his wife’s fiery temper had largely been inherited from this General Cao and urgently stopped him.
Only then did Cao Yin realize there was another person beside him, a young man who looked under twenty, with delicate features, reminding him of the rumors—Minister Pang’s legitimate daughter falling for soone else, disgracing the Pang Family and casually married off by Minister Pang to a poor boy from his hotown.
Cao Yin thought it must be false, but now it seed...
He looked curiously at Long Yue, pointing at Li Qingmu, "Who’s this?"
Long Yue’s face flushed slightly, she wanted to say sothing, but Li Qingmu quickly answered his question, "General Cao, I am Yue’er’s husband, Li Qingmu!"
"Oh, husband..."
Cao Yin nodded, glancing at Li Qingmu and chuckled.
Li Qingmu paused, feeling the smile from Cao Yin was a bit unsettling, but out of politeness, he returned the smile.
Then, he saw Cao Yin raise the blade and slash at him.
"You little brat, so you’re the bastard who took my Yue’er? I’m going to chop you up!"
"General Cao!"
Li Qingmu was stunned, not knowing how he had offended the General to warrant such imdiate aggression?
He instinctively dodged the swing, and the long blade missed him, smashing onto the desk with a bang, breaking the teapot into pieces.
"You brat, you dare dodge? You’ve got guts! Today, I’m going to beat you until your bottom blooms and you call for mom and dad!"
Cao Yin said, brandishing the long blade towards Li Qingmu again. Li Qingmu felt frustrated but couldn’t fight back.
That was Yue’er’s grandpa, and being the junior, he couldn’t dare disrespect his elder.
So, as Cao Yin chased him, Li Qingmu could only dodge humiliatingly at first in the tent, but it was too small here. Several tis Li Qingmu was nearly hit by the blade. Later, he seized an opportunity and escaped the tent.
"Yo, the little brat knows how to run, huh? Damn it, run one more ti if you dare!"
Cao Yin cursed, holding the long blade and shouting, Li Qingmu turned back, panting, "I’m not your damn grandma, so I’m going to run!"
Cao Yin paused, then threw the long blade towards him, Li Qingmu dodged, and the blade hit the ground behind him.
"Grandpa, that’s enough! Stop fighting!"
Long Yue saw her husband was in trouble enough and went up to diate.
Cao Yin snorted loudly, pointing at Li Qingmu, laughingly cursing, "Yue’er, your little brat is interesting, different from those blockheads!"
Long Yue glared at her husband, sweating profusely, knowing he wasn’t just talking about this incident, she giggled, "This guy is a bit rogue and scummy, definitely not like others."
After saying that, the elder and younger both laughed together.
Li Qingmu watched his little wife enjoying herself, feeling rather depressed.
He knew passing Cao Yin’s test wouldn’t be easy, for Cao Yin was a military man who hated scholars that followed rules, otherwise he wouldn’t have opposed Long Yue’s parents’ relationship back then.
Of course, facts proved Cao Yin was right, Pang Wenzheng wasn’t a good person.
But he wasn’t the sa as Pang Wenzheng!
As they neared the Xinan Camp, he was considering how to make Cao Yin see him favorably, but was clueless until Luo Xiaoxiao ca causing trouble.
Luo Xiaoxiao kept making issues, even starting fights, in such monts how could Li Qingmu as a man back down?
Backing down would an cowardice, sothing Cao Yin surely despises.
As for the saying "a good man doesn’t quarrel with won"... what a joke! Would you clean your neck waiting to be chopped when a woman puts a knife to it for manners’ sake?
If he did so, Cao Yin wouldn’t need to act, his own little wife would have taken him down first!
Of course, achieving these points wasn’t enough, the most crucial thing was to show Cao Yin he had competence, thus, Luo Xiaoxiao ended up falling again...
Just as he regathered his strength to rise, Cao Yin laughed, cursing, "This little brat has a dark heart, even daring to harm a delicate beauty, others wouldn’t stand a chance against him! Yue’er, mind him a bit, don’t get tricked! But don’t worry too, if he dares bully you, tell grandpa, I’ll make sure he can’t even be a man!"
What?
Li Qingmu looked at his elder in shock, feeling a chill down his spine.
Can’t be a man... that’s too harsh, isn’t it?
He looked pitifully at his little wife, hoping she’d speak well of him, but she mischievously reddened and shyly said, "Grandpa, he bullies every night, you must stand up for Yue’er!"
Both n paused, then Cao Yin laughed heartily, his laughter filled with joy, "He’s a scoundrel for sure! But the old man likes it, hahaha!"
Li Qingmu felt embarrassed...
"General, General, it’s bad news! General Luo has brought people over to attack!"
At that mont, a soldier rushed over with panic on his face, pointing at the billowing dust behind, trembling, "Miss Luo has fallen injured, General Luo demands an explanation from us..."
