The servants maintained by the Liu family all looked at her.
The eldest lady usually has a good reputation among the servants, and is famous for her kindness and tolerance.
However, there has been no marriage so far.
Because the Jiang family, who were on good terms with each other, went south to join the Liberation Army, while the Liu family still stayed in the city as a local aristocratic family.
Of course, although the engagement between the heirs of the two families was not cancelled, it was already dead in name only.
Because the two parties have been disconnected for a long time.
Sometimes the servants would be indignant about this, feeling that the Jiang family had lost their minds and abandoned their stable lives to join the rebels in the south.
Yes, in their view, the so-called Liberation Army is the rebels.
"Wait for me to think about it, you can go out first."
The eldest lady rubbed her brows and waved her hand for them to go out.
She looked a little tired.
In the past few days, many things have to be dealt with, such as the issue of the Liu family's property, the inquiries from the old government troops, and the greetings from those foreigners.
Moreover, the eldest lady received another communication from her childhood sweetheart, whom she had lost contact with for a long time, hoping that she could provide help when the Liberation Army attacked the Demon City and liberate the civilians of the Demon City who had been oppressed for a long time.
Speaking of which, both the Liu family and the Jiang family knew that the old government's rule was very dark.
However, the Jiang family is a military family with a straight-forward personality for generations and has never been complicit in others' misfortune. Therefore, it has been marginalized by the old government.
So after hearing the news about the Liberation Army, I ran directly to join them.
The Liu family is a local bureaucratic family in the capital, and it is impossible for them to defect to the Liberation Army, because to a certain extent, they are also a family that will be liquidated by the Liberation Army.
At least that's how other elders of the Liu family view it.
The eldest daughter's father felt that the Liberation Army had a high possibility of overthrowing the old government, so he had deep conflicts with the clan elders.
The accident that happened to her parents this time may have been caused by those old men.
"..."
Liu Che looked at the message from his childhood sweetheart with uncertain eyes.
Influenced by her father, she is also more optimistic about the Liberation Army.
It's just because of the struggle for power among the clan elders that she doesn't have a lot of power at hand now.
However, as the heir of a large family, the eldest lady is not a puppet without the ability to resist.
Otherwise, the marriage contract, which is like a piece of waste paper, would not have been preserved to this day.
"Humph."
The girl snorted coldly.
Then the paper was reduced to ashes in the flames.
Her eyes cooled down.
I have long been dissatisfied with those clan elders. I originally planned to slowly gain power and then gradually eliminate them. Now it seems that I may be able to take advantage of the war to take action in advance.
"Ali, you are outside the city now, right?"
The eldest lady looked out the window.
"Then, is it time to fulfill the engagement?"
she murmured.
The tone was firm and possessive.

Chapter 35 Soldier and Daughter 4000 words
"...Is this the identity assigned to those two little guys?"
The ruler of China, the superior heroic spirit - the First Emperor looked at the scene projected by [Tai Yi].
"I didn't expect that both of them are their ancestors."
The information of two characters was retrieved.
The First Emperor looked at the information.
Then he shook his head to dismiss it.
"Even if it is an illusion, you may be able to bring this period of history to a perfect end instead of ending in tragedy."
…………
the next day.
The soldiers got up in silence.
They wrote their suicide notes and handed them to the logistics officer. After they were killed in action, the logistics officer would send the suicide note back to the rear.
Of course, Jiang Li also wrote his suicide note.
Although he didn't know who to send the suicide note to.
After some hesitation, the soldier wrote the name of his childhood sweetheart on the signature line of the suicide note.
Although he didn't know whether the other party would receive the suicide note.
After all, the magic city is about to become a battlefield, and the artillery fire will not stop based on whether a person is an ordinary person or a wealthy person.
"Captain, good morning."
We arrived at the dining area.
The breakfast is very rich, with broth and sesame seed cakes.
In the past, this was rich food that could only be eaten during wars.
Jiang Li ate in small bites.
"Good morning, Erzhu."
he responded.
Erzhu is a member of the team.
He claimed that his family was a farmer. Because he could not survive, he joined the Chinese Liberation Army, and then fought all the way from the south until now.
He has an ordinary appearance, with a dark complexion common among farmers, which is brought out by the sun.
The hands holding the biscuits are covered with calluses, and scars can occasionally be seen.
"Captain, do you think we can conquer the Demon City this time?"
Erzhu asked.
Although his captain is younger than him, he has been promoted to apostle for a long time.
The second pillar itself has only recently broken through to the apostles.
"It can definitely be defeated, and it must be defeated."
Jiang Li's tone was firm.
He recalled what he saw and heard while living in the magical city.
Ordinary people live miserable lives and are often oppressed.
Even though the area under my parents' jurisdiction has improved a lot, people's living standards are not much higher.
He could often hear quarrels. It was his parents quarreling with people from the old government over taxes.
And because of being squeezed out, the Jiang family's situation is not good. They can only say that they have enough food and drink, and forget about other things.
This alone is already stronger than most of the people in Demon City.
Now, my parents have died on the road to regaining China, so as their only son, I must also take over their banner and follow His Excellency Ying Zheng to regain China.
"Speaking of which, my parents used to work in the Magic City."
After taking a sip of the broth, the salty taste spread into my mouth, and I dipped some sesame seed cake into the broth and put it in my mouth.
The food his family used to have was nothing more than this.
"Hey, Captain, you used to be like this?"
There was a look of surprise on the dark face of the big man, and he obviously didn't expect that the captain of the team had such a background.
"Yes. Then my parents gave up their posts and joined the Liberation Army because they couldn't stand the rule of the old government. They brought me with them at that time."
After finishing the last bite of sesame seed cake, the apostle captain replied.
"Now, I can be considered as returning to my old place."
His tone was a bit complicated.
Jiang Li thought of his childhood sweetheart.
He remembered that he sent a letter to the other party and did not know what the other party's choice was.
To be honest, even if they haven't seen each other for a long time, the soldiers can still recall each other's smiles.
As the captain of an elite team, with his young and handsome appearance, Jiang Li is still very popular in the eyes of the female compatriots in the Liberation Army.
However, he is still single.
The reason may be that there is still a place in his heart for the daughter of a noble family.
Even if the identities of the two parties are obviously opposite.
"Okay, let's stop talking and have a good meal. This may be the last steaming meal we can have."
…………
In an empty hall.
The eldest lady of the aristocratic family is enjoying breakfast elegantly.
But in front of her, there were several white-haired old people kneeling.
"You rebellious girl! Do you know what you are doing!"
An old man scolded sternly.
"Of course I know what I'm doing, Great Elder."
Slowly she took off the white silk gloves on her hands. These were the new clothes brought by the foreigners. The eldest lady thought they were very beautiful and put them on.
"You know what you are doing, but you still won't let us go!"
Another old man shouted.
"You don't seem to understand the current situation clearly."
The rich young lady walked up to the person kneeling on the ground.
"Look at the third elder, he already knows what the situation is."
Use the other hand wearing a white silk glove to forcefully pinch the third elder's chin, forcing him to raise his head.
At this moment, the third elder's face looked depressed and gray.
He knew Liu Che's style of doing things, and since he dared to take action, he would definitely be fully prepared.
Because he had watched the eldest lady grow up since he was a child.
The relationship between the two was very good for a time, but after several disagreements, the girl's relationship with him became increasingly estranged.
Especially after the head of the Liu family had an unknown accident.
The third elder knew the inside story, because it was really his two brothers who did it, and he was not entirely uninvolved.
"Is there anything you want to say?"
The eldest lady looked at the three losers in front of her with a smile.
But there was no smile in her eyes.
Although taking action in advance will cause turmoil in the family, now that the magic city is about to become a battlefield, turmoil will happen sooner or later, so it is better to detonate it in advance.
