Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower novel Chapter 1434

Chapter 1434 War at the Border (3)

"Hmm?"

Duan Shang Yi naturally knew that his wife's father and brothers were also soldiers. Their position was not that high, but at this time, they must have been deployed to the frontline to resist the invasion from Zhang Xu Kingdom.

No soldiers shall be idle.

If there were found to be idle or run away, their entire family would be hacked to death.

"Your mother is worried?" Duan Shang Yi asked, his tone was rather indifferent.

First Madam Duan sweated a bit but still bowed her head. "Yes."

First Madam Duan's position in the family was relatively low because she didn't have a son. The only son in Duan Shang Yi's residence came from his concubine while First Madam Duan only have a daughter.

It was also because of this that First Madam Duan always acted humble in front of Duan Shang Yi. But ever since Duan Shang Yi lost an arm, the treatment of his wife and concubines had cooled down.

They were no longer as enthusiastic as they used to be.

Duan Shang Yi himself understood that these people didn't really want to be associated with Duan Family so much because of the previous incidents. His wife had been spending more and more time with her family members rather than at home.

"You may go."

"Thank you." First Madam Duan bowed and walked back briskly. She still knew the etiquette and what was appropriate, but she felt aggrieved whenever she heard what other people were saying.

Even after so much time had passed, Duan Family's reputation was still very low. This made her unwilling to stay here so much and would rather holed up in her family's house and stayed with her mother.

At the very least, she would feel more comfortable there.

As for her daughter?

She was still a young girl at the age of 7 to 8 years old and barely understand anything. Anyway, with her staying inside Duan Family Residence all the time, she wouldn't hear those rumors outside.

Duan Shang Yi watched First Madam Duan walked away and shook his head. It was only in adversity would one be able to see other people's real face clearer. Many of his friends no longer wanted to associate with him.

They only wanted to get close to him when he had bright future.

But when his future was basically fixed like this, they just stayed as far away as possible without hesitation.

"Father, may the Heaven be with you and let you win this battle." Duan Shang Yi clasped his hand.

He no longer had any extravagant hope.

What he wanted the most was simply to live the rest of his life peacefully with his children and avoid those people's words.
