Chapter 338 - A Family
"Mother, Hua'er will prepare dinner for all of us, please wait here," Jun Hua chose to go since the discussion has finished.
Qin Shie nodded and Jun Hua walked to the kitchen with Soujin following after her. Seeing her son acting like that, she smiled slightly.
"He's similar to his father."
Nanglong Souka nodded before changing the conversation, "I never thought that you would support them so much."
"Soujin likes her and she is a nice girl," from the way she spoke and talked, Qin Shie already took a fancy of Jun Hua from a long time ago. At that time, she was merely a candidate, but now Soujin already set his heart.
"I still don't want the two families to be joined together though," Nanglong Souka felt rueful. Both Jun Hua and Nanglong Soujin were the only daughter and the only son from their respective family. Because of the previous emperor, the number of their relatives were limited and the two of them basically the core.
With the ability the two families had, there was no one that could be sure what the future would be for them. Not to mention that he had just found out that Jun Hua was in fact Jun Min, which meant she was a capable general along with Soujin.
What worried him the most was if the next emperor became wary of them because the military powers in this kingdom were in their hand completely. Of course, if it was Yan, there was no need for him to worry about.
"Father, you still don't like Jun family?" Qin Shie asked in a confused tone.
"It's not that I don't like them. I'm just worried because of their respective roles," Nanglong Souka answered.
"Don't worry so much, everything is going to be alright," Qin Shie said with a smile. It may seem dangerous for the two families to hold the entire military power on their hand, but they would not betray the kingdom. Besides, there might be more genius general in the future, and the military would not be in their hand completely anymore.
After one's generation, there will be another one. She knew from their nature that they would prefer to use capable stranger rather than useless people that have the connection with them. She was not worried that they would make bad decisions in the future.
"You're awfully confident," Nanglong Souka laughed.
"Well, they are my son and daughter-in-law."
While the two people chatted in the living room, Jun Hua went towards the kitchen with Soujin. She looked towards the general.
"Your mother has changed, she seems to be more mature compares to before. Has something happened?" Jun Hua asked.
Soujin nodded his head, "She found her relative, but that relative does something inappropriate. My mother has been thinking a lot about that incident."
With his mother's sibling's incident, his mother has been thinking a lot and she couldn't forget about that matter for a long time. After all, they come together from Kai Kingdom to this kingdom and get themselves tangled up into the mess they never expected.
"I see," Jun Hua picked the knife, "Then I will make a good dish for her, so Mother can forget about the matter."
"You already claimed my mother as your mother," Soujin took another knife. "Do you need some help?"
Jun Hua blushed a bit, but she was kind of happy to call Qin Shie as Mother. After all, she had lost her mother a long time ago. Before long, the two of them started to work together inside the kitchen with Jun Hua directing the order.
Soujin looked towards the dishes, "You have become more proficient in cooking."
"Have I?" Jun Hua was startled. From what she remembered, she hadn't cooked for a long time because she was busy directing the battle. It was Xia who would cook for her during the time she was in the battle and arranged the strategy.
"Yes," Soujin nodded his head.
Jun Hua smiled, "Thank you."
After the dish has finished, she took them to the dining room. The servants were gladly bringing the dish to the dining room as Jun Hua clean up the kitchen.
The eating time was once again full of talking. Nanglong Souka was still opposing of Jun Hua's marriage, but he didn't voice it out much because the other two people support Jun Hua fully. After an eventful dinner, they gathered in the living room once again.
"Has the work finished, Prime Minister Souka?" Jun Hua decided to ask about these matters.
"The paper has finished," Nanglong Souka face turned dark the moment he remembered the mountain of paper Soujin left for him. It took him days to finally look at all of them and even after that, there were mountains of other work for him to do.
"Was the job for Prime Minister is that hard?"
"Normally no, but this brat just had to dump everything to me," Nanglong Souka humped indignantly, "This old man is already too old, but he's still that heartless."
"Well, I'm the same though," Jun Hua was not used dealing with those kinds of paper. Because of that, the one who did it in the Jun Family was either her uncle or grandfather.
"You're a girl, so there is no need for you to bother yourself with these matters," Nanglong Souka added, "Although, it's amazing for you to pose as a man for a long time."
When he heard the matter of her and Jun Min was the same person, he almost couldn't sleep for days. He cannot believe that old man was actually inviting him for a bet with his granddaughter. What made him even more vexed was the fact that Soujin lost to her. Thankfully, it was only once.
"I had to if I want to survive," Jun Hua answered. If she did not, her Jun family would never rise and she might just become an ordinary girl, which was pathetic, given her amazing talent.
Seeing her determined expression, Nanglong Souka knew that she too didn't have a good time in the past. He liked seeing a girl full of energy like her, so it was not that bad to have her into their family. As for her family, he will overlook it as long as she stayed like this, though he still didn't want to have any association with that shameless old man.
Nanglong Souka nodded his head, "Take care of Soujin. That brat is too stubborn."
"I think you're talking with the wrong person, Prime Minister," Jun Hua smiled slightly. She was in fact also a stubborn person.
Nanglong Souka waved his hand with a smile. Jun Hua knew, he already accepted her to become Soujin's bride, though this old man would not admit it.
