Chapter 1115: Chapter 1114: Qingyun Enlists 4

Bai Xue thought for a moment, then whispered, "I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t spread it around, it’s a secret."

"You know I keep a tight lid on things," Feng Qingxue responded. She had only asked Bai Xue because she couldn’t find anyone else to question for details, having little hope that Bai Xue would know anything. Yet, to her surprise, Bai Xue actually did have some news.

Bai Xue whispered, "Our new commander has become the laughingstock; he’s lost face massively and now Lu Jiang has to come back and clean up the mess!"

Feng Qingxue was taken aback, "What happened?"

She remembered that many had said Hen Xiangqian was somewhat selfish, but his military abilities were unimpeachable.

"The specifics, Old Su said it was confidential and didn’t tell me. No matter how I tried, he wouldn’t spill a thing!" Bai Xue recalled seriously for a moment, then continued, "I just remember that the atmosphere in May within the troops was tense, everyone wore grave expressions. There were private discussions suggesting it was due to some blunder in Commander Hen’s strategy, apparently a conflict with someone, maybe the Tibetan army or the local bandits. It was quite a mess, so they called back Lieutenant General Lu. When he returned within three or four days, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone had thought that Lieutenant General Lu might take the train back, but by then, nobody knew what the situation would be."

Bai Xue was vague, and Feng Qingxue couldn’t guess the details, so she could only say, "As long as Lu Jiang didn’t arrive too late and managed to control the situation, that’s good. Since the higher-ups don’t want us to know, let’s just play deaf and dumb."

She was still very worried about Lu Jiang and what his current situation might be.

"You’re right!" Bai Xue returned to her seat, glanced at Xibao, then at Fubao, and finally stared at Feng Qingxue’s belly, "Carrying twins must be hard. What about work? I suggest you quit your job and stay at home to care for the children until giving birth."

As soon as Guo Xiuying and Wang Sanbao got off work, they rushed over. Hearing Bai Xue’s suggestion, Wang Sanbao couldn’t help but say, "What nonsense? Bai Xue, just because you don’t work doesn’t mean all the women should stop working! Qingxue has a great talent and a healer’s benevolence. The loss to our troop would be immense if she stopped working."

They had invested in Feng Qingxue’s training not just to see her abandon her work to stay home and be an old-fashioned mom.

Wang Sanbao was an elder sister and a veteran in the troop. Bai Xue didn’t dare to talk back, sticking out her tongue and nodding vehemently, "Right, right, right, ’Heaven, when it wants to place great responsibility on one, tests his resolve, exhausts his body.’"

Guo Xiuying patted her shoulder, "You used to be delicate and gentle, how come after being married to Su Junlin for years, you’ve grown so fond of making cheeky remarks? I suggest you stop your chatter here. Your two sons are out of school, found the courtyard door locked tight, and are now kicking and screaming, trying to break in. Seems like they’ve climbed over the wall, huh!"

"My stuff! Those damn brats!" Bai Xue jumped up and scampered away.

"Su Ping and Su An have come here?" Feng Qingxue asked Guo Xiuying after Bai Xue had left, "Those two kids are spoiled by the elderlies at home, they’ve been causing trouble around the compound. Bai Xue didn’t have an easy time when she lived there, always getting bullied."

Guo Xiuying laughed, "Bai Xue isn’t easily bullied either. Su Junlin adores her, and he’s not afraid to hang the kids up and chastise them."

Although she didn’t agree with parents beating their children severely, she absolutely supported Su Junlin disciplining his two sons—a thrashing wasn’t enough to quell everyone’s ire.
