Reborn to be married, the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion is so sweet

In the evening, after Lu Hou and Lu Tingxu came back, they went straight to the main courtyard. Lin Wan and Xiao Shi had been waiting there.

Seeing the father and son coming back, Lin Wan stood up to greet them, and Marquis Lu waved his hand to let her get up. Xiao Shi hurriedly got up from the couch and asked with a worried look on her face: "How is it? What did the emperor say when he summoned you to the palace?"

Lord Lu sat down with his horse and sword, motioned for her to sit down and spoke.

Lu Tingxu walked to Lin Wan and sat on the chair next to her. After sitting down, he glanced at Lin Wan with an inexplicable expression.

"Your Majesty has issued an edict to appoint me as the General of Dingbei. I will soon lead a large army to the northwest battlefield and drive those bearded men back to the desert."

Lord Lu said loudly and energetically.

Because she had been mentally prepared, Xiao was not surprised by the news. She nodded and said, "I guessed it since we received the imperial edict at the manor."

As he spoke, his face was full of anxiety.

How much time has passed since I returned to Shangjing and was conferred the title of Marquis of Yongning. How much time has it been since I lived in peace and stability in this marquisate?

It has been more than ten years, and she almost forgot the hardships she experienced on the battlefield.

The last time she and Lord Lu went to war was when Lu Tingxu was about ten years old. They were in the northwest to quell the rebellion. But before that, they had been stationed in the northwest for many years, and the small countries outside the border were all broken into pieces. That expedition was just a small fight. They were there for a short time, and the official battles only lasted two or three times before they were successfully quelled.

They returned in glory, and it was this glory that allowed the Yongning Marquisate to always have a say in the circle of dignitaries in the capital. Even when Marquis Lu later fell into poor health and did not even have a decent job, no one dared to look down on him.

But now, after so many years of peace and stability, they are going to the battlefield again. Marquis Lu is only excited and thrilled, while Xiao is more worried.

For Marquis Lu, he is a military general who has no other skills except fighting. Although he has lost the might of his youth due to physical reasons, he is still willing to go to the northwest again as long as there is a need in the court and the people.

He looked at Xiao's uneasy expression and lowered his voice to comfort her: "Don't worry, my body is almost recovered, there will be no problem. Just stay at home and wait for my good news!"

"If I don't go, how can I feel at ease leaving you alone?"

"Who said I was alone!"

Marquis Lu laughed loudly. Seeing Xiao looking at him in surprise, he pointed at Lu Tingxu and said, "Son, come with me!"

"What?" Xiao was even more surprised when he heard this.

Lin Wan was also stunned. She turned to look at Lu Tingxu and was surprised to see that his expression remained unchanged.

"Why...why is Tingxu going too? He has never been to the battlefield!" Xiao couldn't believe it.

Marquis Lu looked at Lu Tingxu with a rare look of satisfaction, and praised him, "He applied for it himself, saying that as the heir of the Marquisate, he should also contribute to the court. His Majesty praised him very much and gave him the position of deputy general."

"But, but Tingxu has never learned Kung Fu, let alone leading troops. He is even less familiar with the environment in the northwest. How can he be a deputy general? Lord Marquis, why don't you stop him?"

"What are you stopping?" Lord Lu glared at her. "I'm so happy! For so many years, haven't we been hoping that he would be sensible and motivated? Now that he has the heart and courage to do so, I can only be happy!"

"Besides, who is born to lead troops in battle? When I was fighting on the battlefield, I didn't know a few words. Shouldn't I be promoted to a general? Don't worry, I will take him with me and teach him in person. I guarantee that he will learn faster than he can by reading a book!"

"But..." Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. Although she had always hoped that Lu Tingxu would have a promising future, now he was really going to the battlefield. She was afraid again.

"Mother." Seeing Xiao's worried face, Lu Tingxu said, "Don't worry, I have been practicing hard these days. Although my kung fu is not very advanced now, it is good enough. I can rank among the Jinwu Guards."

"But you know nothing about war!"

"Just like Dad said, he also knew nothing back then and slowly learned it through practice. Although I don't understand it now, I can learn and watch. Besides, don't you want me to have more skills?"

When Lu Tingxu thought about going to the battlefield, he felt more excited and excited. He always felt that he was only admired by the people around him because of his status as the eldest son of a marquisate, but in the end they would all leave him.

Only when you have abilities and capabilities can you gain real respect from others.

So when he heard that his father had entered the palace at the Duwei Mansion today, he hurried to his superior and expressed his desire to go to the northwest.

Dong Qiang advised him that the environment in the northwest was harsh, and that the swords on the battlefield were merciless, and one could lose one's life if one was not careful. It would be better for him to serve in the Jinwu Guards, and if he could make a contribution, he could be promoted. Why take that risk?

Moreover, he is the son of a marquis, and it is his father who leads the troops to fight. As long as he wins, he can also profit. His future rise to prominence is just around the corner, so why should he risk his life?

After being excited, Lu Tingxu had calmed down a little and was able to think carefully about his thoughts.

He looked at Dong Qiang and smiled, "Master, I know you are saying this for my own good, but I just want to try. I just don't want to give up."

He patted the knife hanging on his waist and said, "Since I can remember, I have been the heir of a marquisate. There are countless people around me who protect me. I have everything I want. My father asked me to practice martial arts, but I cried a few times because I was afraid of the hardship. My grandmother scolded my father and protected me in her room."

"I have lived like this without doing anything and without knowing the immensity of the world. I am always surrounded by friends, eating, drinking and having fun together, doing whatever I want. But gradually, I always feel empty inside, and those so-called friends seem to come and go quickly."

Thinking of the women he had loved, let down, and hurt.

Lu Tingxu lowered his head and continued, "I was so self-righteous that I hurt many people, so they all left me later. Even those who stayed were only for my identity."

"Master, I just can't accept this. I want to fight hard and live like a man. I think the battlefield is the cruelest place in the world, but it is also the place that can train people the most. It's better for me to risk my life to fight it than to live in a muddle-headed way like now."

Dong Qiang was stunned by his words for a while, then patted his shoulder vigorously, "Good! You have a promising future!"

In this way, Lu Tingxu's petition was reported to His Majesty by his superiors. It happened that Marquis Lu had not left the palace at that time. The emperor summoned him to the imperial court, praised him, and finally gave him a position as a deputy general.

Lu Tingxu recalled his father's proud and incredulous look when His Majesty laughed and boasted to Marquis Lu that a good father will have a good son in front of the emperor.

He lowered his head and smiled, then glanced at Xiao and said seriously, "Mom, I have thought it through. I will definitely protect myself and take good care of Dad. You just wait at home for us to return victoriously!"

Then he turned to Lin Wan and said, "You take care of everything in the mansion, don't worry about me."

He wanted to say something more, but he couldn't say it for a moment. He could only comfort himself that when he came back, he would ask Lin Wan if she was proud of him.
