From Folly to Fortune：I Rewrite My Life After Rebirth!

”Miss Wen came to me personally, asking me to leave Fengzi, saying the conditions were up to me, and I could ask for anything!

I didn’t agree, so she got angry, not only trying to hit me but also kicking the large iron pot on fire, which led to the incident!”

Mu Shuangshuang condensed the events into two brief sentences.

The fault was clear to see!

”Lan, you heard it, right? Even if there was a mistake, it’s your precious daughter’s fault!

She took a liking to someone else’s man and tried to hit Shuangshuang! You tell me, do you still have the nerve to trouble Shuangshuang? To make her leave the military camp?”

Cheng Dagang immediately spoke up to clear Mu Shuangshuang and didn’t forget to criticize Wen Nantian.

Wen Nantian’s face turned dark immediately.

How could he allow others to bully his own daughter!?

”Uncle, that’s not how it is! You can’t just rely on this girl’s side of the story; at least ask a few more people before making up your mind!” Wen Nantian said.

”Fine, I’ll listen to you, we’ll just ask a few more people!” Cheng Dagang said.

Cheng Dagang had people call in the bystanders from the kitchen —

The kitchen had more spectators than other tents. Cheng Dagang asked, ”What did you see? Speak out truthfully; if there’s even half a lie, military law will be your consequence!!!”

The kitchen soldiers, hearing this, naturally said what they saw.

”We saw Miss Wen hit this Miss Shuangshuang and also kick over the fire!”

The kitchen soldiers first pointed at Wen Xiaoya and then pointed at Mu Shuangshuang.

The facts were clear; the mistake was Wen Xiaoya’s.

Wen Nantian looked displeased, as did Wen Xiaoya.

Everyone stayed silent, waiting for Cheng Dagang to decide the matter.

”Ya, when you do something wrong, you have to admit it. If you need to be punished, then be punished. If you deserve a beating, then take it!

According to military rules, at the very least, you should be caned ten times, but considering it’s your first offense, this time you’ll just clean the entire Vanguard Camp’s tents!”

Cheng Dagang wasn’t unreasonable; at his age, he knew what decision was most suitable.

Wen Xiaoya felt relieved, knowing she only had to clean the Vanguard Camp’s tents.

She looked at Mu Shuangshuang, just about to speak when she heard Cheng Dagang say, ”Shuang, your duty was to make lunch for me, but you left your post without permission. According to military rules, you should also be caned ten times.

However, considering you were passive and not the cause of the disaster, you will be responsible for making all the soldiers’ dinner tonight!”

”Yes!” Mu Shuangshuang nodded heavily.

Cheng Dagang’s handling of the situation was fair to everyone.

Especially regarding Mu Shuangshuang, he only said she should be responsible, not that she should do it alone.

Wen Xiaoya didn’t understand the distinction, and still thought she had come out on top while Mu Shuangshuang suffered a loss!

”Everything’s dealt with, those who should leave, disperse!” Cheng Dagang ordered.

Mu Shuangshuang and Lu Yuanfeng left together.

Wen Xiaoya also followed, exiting the tent.

Chen Dagang stayed in the main command tent. Once everyone left, he turned to Wen Nantian, ”Lan, there’s a limit to how much you can spoil your daughter. If she understands reason, you spoil her, that is love! If she doesn’t understand reason, you spoil her, that’s harm!”

Wen Nantian was taken aback, pondering for a moment before saying: ”Uncle, Ya is your niece; how can you not give her the same fairness as that girl?”

Wen Nantian felt that Cheng Dagang was always partial to Mu Shuangshuang.

”Nan, Shuang is also your sister; though not by blood, the respect you show me should be matched by your affection for her. Why are you unfair to her?”

Cheng Dagang’s words left Wen Nantian speechless.

The two parted on a sour note!

After leaving the tent, Cheng Dagang headed straight to the kitchen, indeed finding Mu Shuangshuang preparing the last dish.

”Elder Cheng, you came just in time; I just finished cooking!” Mu Shuangshuang said.

”Great, great, let me have a taste!” Cheng Dagang asked Mu Shuangshuang for chopsticks and once he started eating, he couldn’t stop.

He finished all the dishes before stopping, clutching his round belly and contentedly burping.

”Burp~ Your cooking is still the best. You don’t know how long I’ve been starving since leaving your village. I don’t care, starting tomorrow, you’re responsible for my breakfast, lunch, and dinner!”

Cheng Dagang made an audacious request, wanting to occupy all of Mu Shuangshuang’s time.

”Elder Cheng, I can guarantee lunch, but for breakfast, I have business outside and can’t manage! I also don’t stay in the camp at night, so I can’t manage dinner either!”

Mu Shuangshuang was honest.

”What business needs managing? Can’t you drop it for an old man with one foot in the grave?” Cheng Dagang asked with a thick face.

”I would, but I have two little kids working for me. If I don’t work, they won’t get paid, and without pay, they’d starve!”

Mu Shuangshuang said half-truthfully.

Cheng Dagang looked troubled.

”What to do? I came to the camp just for you, girl. If you can’t even meet this request, I might as well go back...”

Cheng Dagang threw a childish tantrum, leaving Mu Shuangshuang amused yet helpless.

”Elder, if you’re free, come and stay with us outside! I’ll prepare all your meals. After eating, you can come back to the camp, for training or leisure, as you wish. How does that sound?”

Mu Shuangshuang asked.

Upon hearing Mu Shuangshuang’s suggestion, Cheng Dagang’s eyes lit up. ”You’re right, girl. I really don’t like the tents, too cramped and uncomfortable!

It’s getting late, let’s head back, prepare my dinner!”

”Elder Cheng, you just had lunch, and it was quite abundant!” Mu Shuangshuang reminded the recently well-fed man.

”What does it matter? We’ll ride back, and I’ll digest it!”

Cheng Dagang spoke with convincing confidence, leaving Mu Shuangshuang speechless.

”Elder, let’s wait a bit longer; it’s still early! Besides, didn’t you ask me to make the soldiers their night snack?” Mu Shuangshuang reminded.

”Oh my, my memory! Gosh, I was so foolish to think of such a punishment, only adding trouble for myself!” Cheng Dagang slapped his own head heavily!

”Elder, let it go. What’s done is done. Besides, there’s something else I need to discuss with you!”

”What is it?” Cheng Dagang asked.

”You’ve fought against Da Wei, what do you think of their soldiers?” Mu Shuangshuang asked.

”They’re strong, brave, and battle-hardened! I heard there are many ordinary generals among them!” Cheng Dagang said while reminiscing.

Back when he was a general, Da Wei frequently invaded.

Each time, though not many came, their destructive force was immense.

It’s a pity, Da Ning people are naturally scholarly, with many Champion Scholars, but pitifully few military generals.
