Chapter 668: Rumors
Translator: Lordbluefire
The person shouting was Luo Yan’s uncle.
After Luo Yan joined the army, her family was shocked, and the news spread throughout the Luo family and the noble circle of Country A. As a result, the marriages of the other Luo Family’s girls were delayed. To make things worse, Luo Yan’s cousin, the daughter of this uncle, had her engagement canceled.
So when Luo Yan’s uncle saw her, he was furious.
Luo Yan shook her head and said, “Uncle, I won’t go back. 1 want to join the army and be with the Princess!”
Her uncle’s expression suddenly darkened.
He glared at Luo Yan. “Do you know that your actions have already shamed our family? Luo Yan, if you keep messing around, are you planning to harm all of your cousins?”
Luo Yan bit her lip.
…..
She knew that her cousins had been affected by her actions.
But she wanted to help more women in Country A rise to a higher status. Should women just be resigned to their roles as wives and mothers, forever living in the inner courtyard?
No, they had learned so much knowledge; why couldn’t they have their own careers?
If she succeeded, her cousins could also break free from the inner courtyard and improve the status of women.
But her uncle didn’t understand. He only knew that his daughter had been affected, so he was very angry and upset. When he saw that Luo Yan was still stubborn, he became even angrier. “If you don’t come back home, I will have your name removed from the family registry! You will no longer be someone from the Luo Family!”
Luo Yan smiled bitterly at his words. “Fine, do as you please.”
If her name were removed, she could act more freely and not worry about implicating the Luo family’s women.
With this thought, Luo Yan turned her head and no longer looked at her uncle.
However, hearing her words, her uncle was extremely angry. He stared at Luo Yan. “Fine, fine, you’re so unrepentant. Don’t blame the family for being harsh on you!”
His eyes emitted a touch of malice.
At this moment, Yan Zixuan felt that something was off. But when he was about to stand in front of Luo Yan, he saw someone else moving faster than him and directly blocked Luo Yan’s uncle’s view.
Luo Yan obviously breathed a sigh of relief and showed Shen Ruojing a gentle smile.
That’s right, the person standing up for Luo Yan was Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing returned the smile and looked at the scene. “Whether the female soldiers are capable or not, wouldn’t we know after trying? Let’s start the class!”
As the Crown Princess, Shen Ruojing’s words carried more weight than Yan Zixuan’s.
After she gave the order, even if Luo Yan’s uncle was reluctant, he had to find someone to teach them. However, his gaze at Luo Yan was still filled with grim darkness.
Although the parachuting teacher also looked down on these female soldiers, he didn’t dare to play any tricks with Shen Ruojing present, so he taught the class properly.
All the female soldiers who came here had studied abroad and were mentally mature and determined. Hence, they took the opportunity to learn very seriously.
Yan Zixuan wandered around outside.
Since the Crown Princess was among the female soldiers learning to parachute today, he couldn’t let anything happen to Shen Ruojing. He had to stay here and even follow them during the parachute training in the next few days.
Glancing over occasionally, he saw the Crown Princess sitting there lazily and spinning a pen in her hand. She looked like a student who was daydreaming instead of paying attention in class.
The teacher saw her like this and sneered, but since the person daydreaming was the Crown Princess, he didn’t dare to scold her. He could only say, “You must study the theoretical knowledge of these two days carefully! Although parachuting is relatively safe now, many soldiers still get into accidents every year because they didn’t learn properly. If you don’t want to be disabled or injured all over, listen carefully!”
“Yes!” the female soldiers shouted in unison.
The teacher looked at the Crown Princess again, only to see that Shen Ruojing was still looking lazy.
The teacher couldn’t help but snort with displeasure.
However, he didn’t say anything more. He thought to himself that the Crown Princess was only here for show. After all, with her noble status, how could she really parachute from an airplane?
Talking about helping women was just lip service.
Hence, the teacher’s disdain for Shen Ruojing grew deeper.
When the two classes were over, Yan Zixuan led the group of female soldiers to leave. After all, after finishing this theory class, they had to practice on the ground before they could really parachute from an airplane.
As the group turned to leave, they saw a few male soldiers standing not far away, chatting.
At first, they didn’t pay much attention to them, but when they passed by the male soldiers, they suddenly heard their conversation.
“Hey, 1 heard that the Luo family has taken a liking to you and plans to have you marry their daughter Luo Yan?”
One of them poked a guy, who had his back to the group and hadn’t seen them approaching. The poked soldier said impatiently, “No!”
“I thought so too. After all, that Luo Yan went into the male soldier’s barracks, so her innocence must be long gone! You did the right thing by refusing.”
The poked soldier coldly snorted, “1 wouldn’t want such a woman even if she were given to me for free!”
