The Prime Minister Seduced Me to have Babies!

Mrs. Chen was exasperated, "Don’t make things worse. Your brother is already enough trouble for me. You’re twelve now, a girl must be married!"

San Ya seriously replied, "Mother, the Capital City of our Great Chu has been seized by the Jin Country."

"Shouldn’t we take it back?"

"If everyone in the world were like mother, forbidding their children from joining the military, then our Great Chu would be doomed."

Yun Jiao looked at San Ya, surprised, "San Ya, who told you these things?"

San Ya said, "No one told me; I thought of it myself."

"I can read; I’ve read books. Don’t I understand this logic?"

"Haven’t we seen enough on our way to Huining?"

"And Lady Wu—"

San Ya pursed her lips tightly, "If I were a man, I would also join the military and avenge Lady Wu."

At the mention of Lady Wu, the room’s atmosphere instantly dropped to freezing point.

Lady Wu was buried in a foreign land, and Jiang Youzhi, worried about revealing his identity when he went to Huining, didn’t dare to pay respects, only passing quietly by her grave, glancing at it from afar.

Mrs. Chen sighed heavily after a while, "Alright, Liu Lang, if you want to go, then go. You’re grown up now anyway, I can’t stop you."

She looked at Jiang Youzhi, who nodded slightly to her, then said to Liu Lang, "If you truly want to join the army, follow my arrangements."

Seeing Liu Lang open his mouth to speak, he waved his hand, "Rest assured, I won’t give you any special treatment."

"If you join the military, start as a common soldier. Whether you get promoted or not depends on your own skills."

Liu Lang straightened his chest, "Of course."

Jiang Youzhi nodded, "Alright then, don’t wander these days; stay at home. I’ll arrange for someone to inform you."

Jiang Youzhi comforted Mrs. Chen, "Mother, you needn’t worry too much. Recently, it’s unlikely there will be war; currently, Great Chu doesn’t have the strength to compete with Jin Country."

Mrs. Chen felt relieved momentarily upon hearing Jiang Youzhi’s words.

They chatted a little about family matters, and only then did Yun Jiao and Jiang Youzhi return to the Duke Mansion.

In the evening, the Duke received word and returned to the mansion from the military camp outside the city.

Yun Jiao was playing with Ruru when she saw the Duke, slightly taken aback.

After a year’s absence, the Duke appeared significantly older and more haggard, likely due to the daily military drills and the substantial blow from the matter with Lady Wu.

Upon seeing You Er, the Duke finally revealed his first smile in a long time, taking You Er from Jiang Youzhi’s hands and tossing him twice in the air.

The three-month-old You Er giggled happily.

The Duke laughed heartily, "Good boy, brave little one!"

"Once you’re a bit older, you’ll follow your grandfather to the military camp for training."

Jiang Youzhi chuckled, "Father, sit down. I have some good news to share with you."

Jiang Zhongxing sat down boldly with You Er in his arms, "What good news?"

Jiang Youzhi spoke slowly, "A message from the Spy Department came in two months ago, stating that Wanyan Zhang, the second Crown Prince of Da Jin, fell suddenly ill and passed away."

Jiang Zhongxing slapped the table heavily and laughed into the sky, "Good, indeed good news!"

"Jin Country has lost Wanyan Zhang, which is like losing an arm. Our Great Chu has a greater hope for restoration."

You Er was not frightened in Jiang Zhongxing’s arms, simply staring wide-eyed at his grandfather who laughed into the sky, curious.

Jiang Youzhi suddenly noticed Yun Jiao seemed not at all surprised by the news; her eyes were lowered in thought about something unknown.

A thought flashed across his mind, "Jiao Jiao, was it possibly you—"
