The foolish girl returns, and the regent becomes a wife-loving madman

Chapter 383 You Work Hard

Old Madam Shen called out to Mrs. Hao several times, but she seemed not to hear her and ran out in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jingxuan sighed softly and said, "I'll go see my mother."

Her crying mother probably went to cry somewhere again.

Mr. and Mrs. Shen knew that Hao was unwilling and that she could not forget Shen Jianan, but since it was related to Shen Xinglin's future, they could not stop her.

Shen Jingxuan went to look for Mrs. Hao. Seeing that Mr. Shen was silent, Xie Lingxiao offered to play chess with him to ease his discomfort.

Beside the lotus pond in Qinxin Garden, Hao stood there quietly, looking into the distance and shedding tears silently.

Shen Jingxuan came to her side, took out her handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears on her cheeks.

"Mother, I know you don't want Lin'er to go to the military camp, but this is his wish, and you should support him."

"Besides, the military camp is not a place full of tigers and wolves. I will talk to Xiao and ask him to send someone to look after him. Lin'er will be fine."

Sometimes Shen Jingxuan really had no way to deal with her mother. Although she knew everything, she always trapped herself and was unwilling to take that step.

Hao sobbed, "Xuan'er, I'm really worried about Lin'er. I'm always afraid that what happened to your father will happen to him."

Shen Jingxuan frowned: "Mother, what are you talking about? Nothing will happen to Lin'er. He will always grow up healthily and achieve his wishes in the future."

Looking at her mother's current appearance, Shen Jingxuan hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, there are some things I have been hiding from you. It's time for you to know the truth."

Hao suddenly looked up at her, and before she could ask, Shen Jingxuan's voice continued to sound.

"Daddy didn't die on the battlefield. He was murdered by a traitor. So what happened to daddy won't happen to Lin'er."

Hao cried out in pain: "Who is it? Who killed him?"

Shen Jingxuan held her in her arms: "Mom, just live a good life, Lin'er and I will take care of the rest."

"Don't worry, I will avenge my father so that he can rest in peace."

When Hao heard what Shen Jingxuan said, she lay in her arms and cried for a long time until she was tired of crying. Shen Jingxuan called Ling Huan to send her back to the room and sent someone to guard her.

Shen Jingxuan rubbed her forehead lightly, then turned and went to Fufeng Courtyard.

Shen Xinglin sat in the yard in a daze. Seeing that he was frowning, Shen Jingxuan patted his shoulder lightly.

"Lin'er, you are going to be a general, why are you still sitting here with a frown on your face?"

When Shen Xinglin saw Shen Jingxuan, her eyes turned red: "Sister, grandparents don't want me to join the army, and mother doesn't like it either. Is it really right for me to do this?"

Shen Jingxuan advised: "Some things, it's not that they don't like it, so you don't do it."

"As long as it's the right thing to do, you have to keep doing it even if they don't want to."

"For some things, you have to work hard to make them change their views."

Hearing Shen Jingxuan's words, Shen Xinglin burst into laughter.

"Sister, I will listen to you. I will definitely try my best to change their views and let them know that my decision is right."

Shen Jingxuan patted Shen Xinglin: "Let's go in."

As they entered the room, they heard Mr. Shen's voice: "I made a wrong bet, a wrong bet."

After saying this, he picked up the chess piece that had fallen on the board, thought for a moment, and put it back down.

Shen Jingxuan and Shen Xinglin laughed out loud, causing Mr. Shen to blush.

He was too embarrassed to continue in front of the younger generation, so he had to wave his hand at Xie Lingxiao: "No more, no more. There's no point in always beating you."

Shen Xinglin smiled and said, “Grandfather, my brother-in-law deliberately let you win, but you didn’t want to get up.”

Mr. Shen was slightly embarrassed: "Hurry up and practice martial arts. Since you have decided to join the army, why are you still wasting time here?"

Seeing Mr. Shen like this, Xie Lingxiao hurriedly came out to smooth things over: "Grandfather is very good at playing chess, not as you said."

Shen Jingxuan saw everything. Noticing that Mr. Shen's mood had improved, she looked at Xie Lingxiao with gratitude.

Their eyes met, and Xie Lingxiao nodded slightly towards Shen Jingxuan.

Shen Jingxuan came to his side and said, "Ah Xiao, what do you think about Lin'er joining the military camp?"

Xie Lingxiao raised his eyebrows slightly: "I will listen to Xuan'er."

He wanted to hear Shen Jingxuan's opinion and also wanted to know what Shen Xinglin planned.

Shen Jingxuan looked at Shen Xinglin: "Lin'er, what about you?"

"I listen to my sister too."

Shen Xinglin knew that his sister's arrangement was definitely for his own good and was the safest way.

Shen Jingxuan originally wanted to ask Mr. Shen, but when she saw him staring at her intently, she knew that he also wanted to know her opinion.

"In that case, Ah Xiao can just send Lin'er to the military camp and let him grow up slowly from a soldier."

"As for what position he will eventually take, let him earn it based on his military merits."

She didn't want Xie Lingxiao to take extra care of Shen Xinglin, nor did she want Shen Xinglin to have anyone to rely on.

If he wants to fulfill his wish, he must make a little effort, so that he can grow faster.

Mr. Shen's eyes lit up slightly, but thinking of Shen Xinglin's age, he said, "It would be better to let Xiao help more."

Shen Jingxuan raised her eyebrows: "Grandfather, who helped you become a general back then?"

Mr. Shen glared at her angrily: "Bullshit, I got my position as a general through hard-earned military merit."

Realizing that he was too excited and swore, he covered his lips lightly, looking a little embarrassed.

Shen Jingxuan said: "So Lin'er doesn't need help either. You can become a general through your military achievements. How can Lin'er, as your grandson, bring shame to you?"

After saying that, he looked at Shen Xinglin: "Lin'er, what do you think?"

Shen Xinglin said: "I will listen to my sister and start as a soldier. I will not lose face for my grandfather and father and will become a general with military merits."

Seeing that everyone had already reached an agreement, Xie Lingxiao also felt that this arrangement was the safest.

If the people in the military camp knew that Shen Xinglin had their support, I'm afraid that the days ahead would not be easy for them.

Those soldiers had been to the battlefield, experienced fighting, and crawled out of piles of corpses. What they despised the most were those who relied on connections to get to the top.

They would not take such people seriously even if their military positions were higher than theirs.

When Mr. Shen heard what Shen Xinglin said, although he felt sorry for Shen Xinglin because he was too young, he had more expectations for his future.

The younger generation of the Zhenguo Mansion should be like this.

Xie Lingxiao said: "Now that the decision has been made, when does Lin'er plan to enter the military camp?"

Shen Xinglin looked at Shen Jingxuan and saw her nodding slightly at him, and replied: "Brother-in-law, can I go tomorrow?"

Mr. Shen said hurriedly: "There is no rush, it would be better to stay in the mansion for a few more days."

This time, he might only be able to return home once a month. Not being able to see Shen Xinglin for such a long time made Old Master Shen look reluctant.

Shen Xinglin insisted: "Grandfather, I have made up my mind and will go to the military camp tomorrow."
