By then, Lu Qiyan's reputation would have plummeted and he would have lost the support of the soldiers. If he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the army, he could only continue to rely on the big tree of his commander.

Furthermore, the Fan family has always been arrogant. Even if they wanted to win over Lu Qiyan, they probably wouldn't give birth to a legitimate daughter of the Fan family who would be favored by the empress dowager and the emperor so as to form an alliance for this purpose.

This was probably just Fan Jinglan's own thought.

It is common for a young girl in love to fall in love with such a dashing, majestic, young and promising man at first sight.

Then just expose this matter and let Fan Honghui and Lu Qiyan become enemies because of it!

An Leiting sneered, looked at Fan Honghui beside him, and said, "From the looks of it, Deputy Commander Fan's family will soon have a happy event."

The sound was neither too loud nor too soft, enough for a few people nearby to hear clearly, but enough that people far away would not be aware of what was going on.

With Fan Jinglan's behavior just now, everyone understood what An Leiting meant at this moment. Some people laughed out loud, some looked at Fan Jinglan and Fan Honghui meaningfully, and some, because they were just military men, did not think too much in their minds, and their eyes widened when they heard about the happy event.

"Happy event, what happy event?"

As soon as these words were spoken, they immediately caused a burst of laughter.

Fan Honghui naturally knew An Leiting's intention at this time, and his expression immediately became gloomy, and he looked at An Leiting with displeasure.

An Leiting spread his hands, looking innocent, "What's wrong with Deputy Commander Fan? Did I say something wrong?"

"You..." Fan Honghui's face turned red with anger.

Fan Jinglan glanced at An Leiting and said quietly, "I don't quite understand what Commander Anxiang said. I don't quite understand what kind of happy event is the Fan family's happy event that Commander Anxiang is talking about?"

Is this something that can be asked directly?
Everyone was shocked again.

An Leiting was also stunned for a moment because he did not expect Fan Jinglan to ask so directly. After a moment, he waved his hand and said, "I think I misunderstood. Madam Fan, please don't take it to heart."

"Then I still don't quite understand what exactly Commander Anxiang misunderstood?" Fan Jinglan asked.

"This..." An Leiting laughed, "No, nothing, I just said the wrong thing."

"Since Commander Anxiang feels that he has said something wrong, he might as well clarify it again to prevent others from misunderstanding him."

Fan Jinglan pressed on, "What exactly is the happy event about our Fan family that Commander Anxiang just mentioned?"

This look of getting to the bottom of things and not giving up until the end made An Leiting feel a little timid for some reason. He just looked at Fan Jinglan, not knowing how to answer.

Instead, Fan Jinglan paused briefly and then said, "Commander Anxiang said this after I praised Commander Lu. Could it be that Commander Anxiang thought that I praised Commander Lu, so he has feelings for him?"

An Leiting remained silent. Fan Jinglan smiled and continued, "I just praised Commander Lu, but Commander Anxiang had so many associations. It's really interesting. Could it be that I will praise you tomorrow?"

"Marriage is decided by parents and matchmakers. Making an agreement in private is the most despised thing. People in the world look at it this way. As a woman, I naturally have to consider my reputation and these things."

"Commander An Xiang is already quite old, so he naturally knows all this. But he openly talks about happy events. Is he accusing our Fan family of having no rules and saying that I, as the daughter of the Fan family, have no manners at all?" Fan Jinglan's questioning made An Leiting break out in a cold sweat.

Everyone knows that Fan Jinglan has always been kept by the Empress Dowager and is the companion of the princesses in the palace. Her education was all provided by the royal family. If it is said that she was not well educated, wouldn't it be questioning the Empress Dowager and the royal family?

"Madam Fan, that's not what I meant..."

"What does Commander Anxiang mean?" Fan Jinglan asked, "Commander Anxiang, please don't say anything joking. A joke is when everyone is laughing heartily. That's called a joke. But you are trying to disparage my Fan family. How can that be called a joke?"

"And if it was a joke, why didn't Commander Anxiang say anything else, but instead just made fun of me? Can Commander Anxiang explain the reason?"

"Besides, Commander Lu is already a married man, but Commander Anxiang said this. Is he saying that my daughter from the Fan family wants to steal someone else's husband and has no bottom line at all? Or is he saying that Commander Lu wants to abandon her after having an affair with her?"

"Shouldn't Commander Anxiang explain the reason behind this?"

An Leiting, "..."

He really didn't know what to say.

He had thought that Fan Jinglan had been raised in luxury, and must have been spoiled and domineering, and even a little stupid. But he had never expected that she was so eloquent, leaving him completely helpless!

An Leiting was speechless for a long while before he stammered, "Mrs. Fan, please calm down. This is all my fault."

"Of course it's the fault of Commander Anxiang. He's old, but his mind is not right, he speaks without restraint, he doesn't know how to respect others, let alone his subordinates. It's really unpleasant. This is only in the military. Commander Anxiang is the commander of the wing, and others dare not refute him. If he was outside, or if Commander Anxiang was just an ordinary person, he would have been slapped in the face and learned a lesson."

"In the end, Commander Anxiang still relies on his age and status as the commander of the wing, so he is so arrogant and domineering and speaks nonsense."

Fan Jinglan's eyebrows were raised and her words were fierce, but her pronunciation was clear, her logic was clear, and her arguments were well-founded, making them irrefutable.

So even though An Leiting was angry that his little thoughts were completely exposed, he had nothing to refute.

For a moment, everyone looked at An Leiting with complicated expressions.

Many of the generals were rough men who only knew how to march and fight, and most of the time they were not very familiar with the ways of the world. When they were explained by Fan Jinglan in detail, they immediately felt that something was wrong.

Looking at An Leiting's expression at this time, everyone had an idea in their minds. They felt that Fan Jinglan was right. An Leiting did it on purpose.

The dinner started in a cheerful atmosphere but ended in embarrassment.

"What do you think the commander is doing here? Why does he have to criticize a little girl?" After dinner, the generals returned to their camps and could not help but talk about it along the way.

"There's nothing we can do. This girl's last name is Fan, and she's Deputy Commander Fan's younger sister. Commander Fan is not targeting Miss Fan, he's clearly targeting Deputy Commander Fan."

"Yes, since Deputy Commander Fan took command of the war, the war has been going smoothly and most of the lost territory has been recovered, which has greatly dampened the morale of the Jinwei army. His prestige in the army has gradually increased. On the contrary, everyone has complaints about Commander Xiang." (End of this chapter)
