”A little girl you say? So this old man finally has a granddaughter! At least there is something good to come out of this matter...”

Hearing the Commander general's musings, Wu Qiang could only silently nod in agreement as he kept his mouth shut.

Shooting him a glance, Feng Guo Liang's eyes narrowed slightly as his whole aura suddenly shifted.

”Where there any complications during the birth? How are my grandchildren?”

”Young Master is fine and uninjured but the little miss was born weak due to the premature birth and based on Mo Jiang's preliminary examination of the little miss, due to potency of the poison that was inflicted on the Young Madam, the little miss' body and constitution was affected. Before this servant left, Mo Jiang was still checking up on the status of both the little miss and Young Madam so this subordinate does not have any further information regarding them.”

”That is fine. This General understands... As for my son, did he report to the Emperor yet?”

”Not yet but from what this subordinate knows, Deputy General Feng would be reporting as soon as he can.”

”The sooner, the better! You may leave first and take a quick rest. Afterwards, report back to me.”

”If you'll pardon this one then this subordinate shall take his leave.”

”En. Go.”

After Wu Qiang left, Feng Guo Liang stayed inside the tent for a long time and by the time that he went out, his whole aura was sharper and more domineering.

With a wave of his hand, one of his most trusted subordinates appeared by his side.

”Go and give this to Wu Qiang, make sure he hands this letter to my son as soon as possible. When he leaves, go and escort him back to make sure that no accidents happen along the way.”

”As Master commands...”

Without another word, Feng Guo Liang's subordinate left, leaving him alone to stand there with a frown.

Letting out a heavy sigh, Feng Guo Liang turned on his heel before sharply barking out orders, putting the news he got and what happened earlier to the back of his mind.

On the other hand, Wu Qiang who just received the letter, decided to immediately make preparations to go back and within the time to burn half an incense stick, he had already saddled up a new horse and was set to leave the military camp.

It took Wu Qiang several hours and luckily he didn't encounter any accidents or mishaps on the way back and after arriving safely, he thanked the commander general's subordinate who just nodded in reply before departing swiftly.

Without further ado, he immediately went to find Feng Bing Wen and just as he predicted, he found him at the young madam's courtyard with his son and newborn daughter.

After seeing him, Feng Bing Wen quietly told his son to stay put and continue to keep his mother company before he gestured for Wu Qiang to follow him to the study.

Calmly sitting down behind his desk, Feng Bing Wen gently rocked his daughter before giving Wu Qiang a sharp look.

”Report.”

”This subordinate has delivered your message to Commander General Feng successfully and in response, Commander General had this subordinate send this letter to you.”

Hearing Wu Qiang's report and receiving the letter, Feng Bing Wen fell silent as he read it.

”You have three months to make sure that everything will be taken care of...

After three months, you must depart from the capital and come back to the front lines...

You mustn't give anyone a chance to place blame on you so make sure that the reason you are staying is plausible, otherwise you should return immediately...

I have already arranged for someone to come and look after our family so make haste and come back...”

After sending a message to his father; Feng Guo Liang, the response in the letter he got in reply was something that he had already expected yet dreaded at the same time.

Three months.

That was all the time that Feng Guo Liang allowed him to make his preparations but to Feng Bing Wen, this just wasn't enough!

If his wife; Wan Ting was conscious then he would be rest assured to leave things in her capable hands but she wasn't!

Currently, the Feng family was at its most vulnerable!

Letting out a frustrated sigh, Feng Bing Wen crumpled the letter in his hand then threw it into the charcoal brazier in the room and watched it burn with a dark expression on his face.

The crumpled piece of parchment immediately caught on fire and the faint crackling noises were the only sounds that could be heard in the otherwise silent room as it slowly turned to ashes.
