Aunt Tong, holding a bag, whispered, "They've been there for a while now, and I don't know what they're talking about. They told us not to go up and disturb them, but it seems like the general's expression is not too good."
Yan Luoxi didn't dare go upstairs any longer, scared she might hear some classified information and end up secretly executed. She asked, "Have they had dinner yet?"
"Not yet, they went straight to the study to talk as soon as they arrived back, and it's still not over."
Yan Luoxi looked toward the second floor direction, thinking that after such a long talk, they would definitely want something to eat. She remembered Xue Shuying telling her that General Li had served as an officer in the north when he was young and had spent more than ten years in the army; he liked to eat noodles.
A plan suddenly formed in her head; if she wanted General Li to acknowledge her, she had to make an effort to please him.
