Chapter 1008: Courteous

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Grandpa Pei and Grandma Pei were extremely happy. On the other hand, Shao Boqi had already written a letter to his brothers after the morning court session. He told them about what had happened in the Imperial Capital that morning. He had also sent someone to send the letter as soon as possible.

As the Military Camp was closer to the capital city than Xinyuan County, Shao Shuting received the letters first.

The day Shao Shuting received the letter was the day he was having lunch with his father in his tent.

Not only was his father, State Duke Shao, present, but Xue Sanfu was also eating with them.

Shao Shuting was actually a little annoyed that he was there. His father really doted on Xue Sanfu more than he did on his son. He would eat with Xue Sanfu almost every meal. As long as he saw Xue Sanfu’s tall and burly appearance, his father would be happy and extremely satisfied. In any case, Shuting despised him.

Shao Shuting watched as his father lovingly picked up a large piece of meat for Xue Sanfu. The whole plate of meat was about to be placed into Xue Sanfu’s bowl again. Shao Shuting used to be sour, and then… He was numb.

“Sanfu, your family has arranged a marriage for you, right?” State Duke Shao suddenly asked Xue Sanfu with a smile, his face full of kindness.

Shao Shuting continued to eat silently, feeling that his father’s smile was a little malicious.

“Yes.” Xue Sanfu nodded, still expressionless, his voice still indifferent. “Pei Fufu, right?” State Duke Shao’s smile became even brighter.

“Yes.” Xue Sanfu was pitifully quiet.

“Then when do you plan to marry her?” State Duke Shao was obviously suppressing his excitement, but his eyes were almost fixed on Xue Sanfu. Without waiting for Xue Sanfu’s reply, he quickly asked, “You never take off days. Are you saving up time to go back and get married?”

“Yes, I’ll be able to accumulate ten days of leave by the beginning of June.” Xue Sanfu said.

In other words, he should be able to go back and get married in early June.

“That’s great!” State Duke Shao slapped his thigh and almost stood up in excitement. Then, he felt a little excited. He quickly laughed. “That’s great. Let’s eat.” Then, he stared at Xue Sanfu and smiled amiably. “There’s no war at the moment. You should be able to go back and get married in early June. Should you tell your family the good news? You should tell your family.”

“Yes.” Xue Sanfu’s voice was still indifferent. “I’ve already written a letter and was about to ask for help again. Can you send one letter home for me, and send the other to my future family’s house in the Imperial Capital.”

“Just give it to Shiye, he’ll arrange for someone to send it to you,” said Shao Shuting with a smile.

“Thank you, sir!” Xue Sanfu immediately put down his chopsticks and saluted.

“There’s no need to be so polite.” State Duke Shao quickly pressed down on his hand, his face full of smiles.

Xue Sanfu was basically family now. Even though Xue Sanfu did not know everything, Shao Shuting still did not want Xue Sanfu to be so polite with him. He echoed his father’s words and smiled. “Yes, we’re in a private setting. You don’t have to be so polite with me.”

“Great General!” Shiye shouted at the entrance of the tent. “Great General, your son has sent a letter from the capital city.”

“Bring it in.” Shao Shuting said.

As soon as Shiye entered, he handed the letter to Shao Shuting with both hands.

Shao Shuting put down his chopsticks and took the letter. Then, he opened it.

He was naturally overjoyed reading the news. He had not asked his nephew

for his opinion, it was not appropriate for him to say this to Xue Sanfu, who was sitting opposite him, so he only gave his father a simple nod..
