Chapter 1425: Mind Your Words
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Is inspection the main point here? The main point is that if Old Marshal Chi were to find out, would he suffer in anger, I wonder?”
In the front yard, most of the officers did not express any opinion on Madam Hong’s words. However, a few socialites and wealthy ladies who had benefited from the limelight quickly chattered away.
They would never get tired of this kind of gossip involving the wealthy.
“Are you done?” Nangong Nuannuan glanced at Madam Hong, Hong Feixu, and Bian Yin’s gleeful faces, ready to facesmack them when they were done.
“Done? I’m afraid I won’t be able to finish talking about those horrible things even if I have three days and three nights!”
After saying that, Madam Hong scanned the faces of the people from the front yard, the side yards, and the backyard that had been attracted over. Seeing that Elder Chi and Elder Xu were staying inside the house, she was afraid that her voice would not be able to disturb the big shots inside, so she raised her voice.
With the anger of a woman whose son was fooled by a wild woman, Madam Hong spoke in a voice so loud it was nearly a shout, “Everyone, you have no idea how despicable this woman is. Our Feixu is a soldier in Eagle Special Forces. She joined Eagle with her own ability. In Eagle, our Feixu obtained a second-class meritorious service medal and two third-class meritorious service medals. She may be young, but she has already achieved many meritorious deeds!”
Since Hong Feixu wore a gown, everyone thought that she was a mere socialite. They did not expect her to be a soldier from the special forces who was not inferior to any man.
Just based on this identity alone, someone who only knew how to seduce men with her looks like Zhong Nuannuan could not compare to her. Almost all the socialites and noble ladies present immediately stood on Hong Feixu’s side. Even those officers who were mesmerized by Nuannuan when they first saw her now frowned at Nuannuan.
“Our Hong Feixu enrolled in the military school when she was 18 years old. After graduating as one of the top five in school with the highest score among the female soldiers, she joined the special forces in the North military base. Later, due to her outstanding results, she was chosen by Eagle and became a member of Eagle Special Forces. I’m not exaggerating when I say my daughter has a good character and wonderful morals. Even though we are healthy, she has always persevered with her own efforts!”
Before Madam Hong stepped on Nangong Nuannuan, she praised her daughter first. This way, when she condemned Nangong Nuannuan to the bottomless pit, she could take advantage of Nuannuan’s fall to show the contrast between her and her excellent daughter in front of the old generals.
Even though the old generals had not been alerted, almost everyone started to despise Nangong Nuannuan.
“Yet, my outstanding daughter. Just because this woman said a few words to Chi Yang, Chi Yang transferred her away. Not only did he remove her from Eagle, but he also transferred her from Emperor District to a place like Jiang Prefecture.”
Everyone looked at the people standing in the middle in disbelief.
A few officers who admired Chi Yang immediately expressed their confusion.
“Madam Hong, please mind your words. Lieutenant General Chi is definitely not someone who doesn’t know what’s right and wrong, and definitely not someone who would send his comrades out after a woman whispered something into his ear.”
“That’s right. Even if Lieutenant General Chi likes this woman, he’d never do something like that.”
Seeing that her statements were being questioned, Madam Hong said bitterly, “Chi Yang is indeed a very good child. Not only is he young and promising, but he’s also humble and polite. He even saved our Feixu’s life.. When Feixu was injured, he often came to visit her, so our family likes him very much.”
