Chapter 682: Resolved!
Translator: Lordbluefire
Luo Yan was stunned by these words.
Go home?
She subconsciously glanced at Shen Ruojing.
The existence of the Princess was like a divine anchor, giving her a sense of security.
Shen Ruojing also looked at her and slowly said, “Make your own decision. If you leave, it’s fine, and you don’t need to worry about what will happen next. Although it’s a bit troublesome, I can arrange everything.”
If Luo Yan left, at worst, Shen Ruojing could find a few more maids to replace her, which would be a bit more troublesome. Moreover, if the maid’s status and reputation were not enough, it would indeed cause some difficulties later on. But these troubles would just need more time to be handled.
Luo Yan clenched her jaw.
Family Leader Luo took the opportunity to step forward, looking at Luo Yan. “Yan Yan, there’s an old saying in China, ’Success does not have to be achieved by me,’ so you really don’t have to participate in this. Come home with me. Your mother is at home, and she has made your favorite dishes. She has been worried about you every day since you joined the army, and she has had sleepless nights.”
Just as Family Leader Luo finished speaking, Luo Yan suddenly looked up.
Luo Yan’s eyes were firm, and she became resolute.
She spoke slowly, word by word, “Dad, success must involve me.”
She had studied so much abroad and persisted in physical training in the army for so long, just to show everyone that women were not inferior to men.
So, she must persist.
Besides, if everyone were as selfish, how could the Princess alone lead the independence of women in Country A?
Only when noble ladies like her were by the Princess’s side, amassing enough prestige for the Princess, would the people of Country A take notice!
She would not leave, nor could she leave.
Suddenly, she stepped forward, knelt down with both knees, and prostrated herself on the ground.
This was the posture of paying great respect to elders and the King.
This action startled Family Leader Luo, who instinctively wanted to help his daughter up, but Luo Yan firmly kowtowed to him and then to her second uncle. “Dad, Second Uncle, I’m sorry forbringing disaster to our family, but I don’t regret it. To avoid involving the family, you should remove my name from the family tree, Dad!”
This kowtow was genuine, and Luo Yan’s forehead had turned red.
Family Leader Luo looked at her steadily, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
His daughter was courageous. If the sons of the family had her courage, the Luo family would definitely have hope for the future...
For a moment, Family Leader Luo felt both comforted and distressed...
He remained silent for a long time before finally lowering his head and supporting Luo Yan’s arm.
Luo Yan looked up at him.
Then she saw Family Leader Luo turn to look at her second uncle, and he bowed deeply to the second uncle with a clenched fist!
The second uncle was stunned.
He cried out in panic, “Big brother, what are you doing?”
Family Leader Luo raised his head and said, “Second Brother, Yan Yan’s matter is the business of our main family, and your branch has been implicated because of us. So, for this matter, I will not pursue your framing of Yan Yan. Let’s consider it settled, alright?”
The second uncle was stunned.
Then his eyes reddened, and he turned his head away. “Big brother, why arc you doing this? 1... 1 wouldn’t dare to go against your wishes!”
The eldest brother was like a father to them!
The previous head of the Luo family passed away early, and so the current head led them to where they were today. Now that his big brother was bowing to him and sparing him punishment, how could the second uncle continue to hold onto that matter?
The second uncle wiped his tears and took a deep breath. “1 want my branch to be split from the family. Big brother, I can forgive you this time, but as long as Luo Yan is still in the army, it will be difficult for our daughters to marry. 1 want to split the family to prevent the children from being affected.”
Family Leader Luo looked deeply at him and finally nodded. “Alright.”
The division of the family would not be discussed here, as it was an internal matter of the Luo family.
Family Leader Luo took one last look at Luo Yan and then looked at Family Leader Yan with a stifled breath. “Brother Yan, please take care of my daughter.”
Family Leader Yan had a cold expression.
But seeing the current situation, he knew that Luo Yan would not leave, so he could only take a deep breath, nod, and reluctantly say, “Fine.”
When Family Leader Luo left with the second uncle, Luo Yan’s eyes became even redder.
Her tears fell like broken pearls, and Yan Zixuan couldn’t help but try to comfort her, “Hey, don’t cry. It’s not like you won’t see each other again. Besides, your dad didn’t kick you out of the family, right? Your dad is so supportive of you, don’t cry!”
But the more Yan Zixuan spoke, the harder Luo Yan cried, “I... I’m sorry, mom and dad...”
She had made them worry.
Yan Zixuan coughed. “What’s there to be sorry about? Let me tell you, Luo Yan, as long as you make a name for yourself in the future, they will definitely be happy for you...”
While Yan Zixuan was comforting Luo Yan, Shen Ruojing’s gaze fell on the increasingly darkening face of Family Leader Yan.
After an unknown amount of time, Family Leader Yan couldn’t bear it any longer and directly scolded, “Luo Yan, return to your unit! Yan Zixuan, come with me!”
With that, he strode into the camp.
Luo Yan looked worriedly at Shen Ruojing.
Shen Ruojing sighed and said, “I’ll go take a look..”
