Lan Luofeng snorted at his defensive posture and walked past the senior colonel.

The senior colonel lifted his arms but he didn't dare to stop her. If he let Lan Luofeng in, he would at most be scolded by the First Marshal. But, if he angered Lan Luofeng, she might really frame him so he decided to let her in.

Lan Luofeng charged into the First Marshal's office. The First Marshal was currently talking to a general in front of him. When he saw Lan Luofeng barging in, he frowned slightly. He was slightly furious at the door guard for not stopping her.

The general turned around and saw Lan Luofeng entering. He knew that she was Ling Xiao's wife. She must have some business here so he got up and bid farewell to the First Marshal.

After the First Marshal sent the general away, he turned and said to Lan Luofeng, “What are you doing here?”

Lan Luofeng gave a cold smile as she looked directly into his eyes. “Why can't I ask about what happened during the war at Twilight? I'm Ling Xiao's wife. I am also Ling Lan's mother. Ling Lan shouldn't have been sent to the battlefield in the first place. What kind of idiot sent him there. I want justice for my son!”

The First Marshal's expression turned dark. “What kind of att.i.tude is this? Have you forgotten where you come from?”

“Haha, don't you know where I come from?” Lan Luofeng sneered as she looked at the First Marshal with contempt.

“You have no manners at all. Your father didn't teach you well.” The First Marshal looked disappointed.

“Don't mention my father. You're not worthy of mentioning him. At least my father isn't someone who would send his own son to his death!” Lan Luofeng shouted angrily. If he didn't talk about her father, she might still be able to curb her anger and talk peacefully with him. However, once her father was mentioned, she couldn't control her emotions anymore.

“You know nothing about that. Get out of here immediately.” The First Marshal was indignant.

“Well, ask your people to chase me out then.” Lan Luofeng wasn't afraid. She sat down arrogantly on the sofa opposite the First Marshal and scoffed. “Ask them to chase me out personally… but, do you dare to?”

Based on data, there were at least four G.o.d-cla.s.s operators that died in Ling Xiao's hands. He even pulled Monarch Fury down with him before he died. This credit was enough to astound people and for his nation to give him their eternal grat.i.tude. They moaned for the death of someone who could have stood at the top of the galaxy. As his wife, Lan Luofeng was also highly respected by the nation. The citizens wouldn't allow anyone to offend or humiliate her, not even the First Marshal.

If there was news that the First Marshal personally sent an order to chase Lan Luofeng out of his manor, his reputation, which he built for over a hundred years, would collapse overnight. Even without any actions from the Second Marshal or the Third Marshal, he would be pushed down his position by the angered citizens.

This was where Lan Luofeng got her confidence from.

“You! You will anger me to death.” The First Marshal pointed at Lan Luofeng. As expected, someone raised by that unfilial son was no good.

“You won't die. You like power too much. How can you be angered to death by just my words? That isn't like you.” Lan Luofeng smiled coldly.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d.” The First Marshal couldn't control his anger anymore. He slammed his hand on the coffee table beside him, shattering it in the process.

“b.a.s.t.a.r.d? Haha, are you referring to yourself?” Pain flashed past Lan Luofeng's eyes. She always wished that she was just the daughter of an ordinary family. She didn't want to be the granddaughter of this powerful but heartless old man who only wanted to pursue more power.

“Lan Luofeng, you are able to be so impudent because of my son. Don't destroy what's left of this relations.h.i.+p,” the First Marshal replied coldly.

“I told you to stop mentioning my father. Also, I'm able to be impudent because I'm Ling Xiao's wife.” Lan Luofeng stood up and glared at him.

“Alright.” A third voice interjected the argument.

Lan Luofeng and the First Marshal looked towards the door simultaneously. An elegant lady had appeared at the door. She was the one who stopped the quarrel.

“Why are you here?” The First Marshal frowned. He had a look of disapproval on his face.

“Am I supposed to let the two of you continue arguing?” The elegant lady, who was the mistress of the Lan Family, sighed. She walked over and stood in front of Lan Luofeng. She looked at Lan Luofeng amiably. “My little Luofeng, grandma can finally take a good look at you.”

In the past, she could only take a quick look at her secretly or ask her fourth son to bring her over. The meeting was always hurried. However, those occasional visits stopped when her fourth son and his wife died. Even if she couldn't bring her home, she asked her sixth son to arrange for Lan Luofeng to grow up in a normal family with the same surname. They were afraid that if she was discovered without their protection, their enemy would harm her. Hence, the elegant lady didn't continue to look for Lan Luofeng too. She could only look at photos to curb her longing.

When Lan Luofeng was 16 years old, she entered the military and became a JMC. The mistress used her influence to direct her to enter the relatively safe 7th division. This division belonged to the First Marshal. She hoped that her fourth son's only child was able to grow up safely. At first, she just hoped that her granddaughter would have a normal and safe life. However, she married an exceptional youth, Ling Xiao. A month later, Ling Xiao ‘died' in a war and Lan Luofeng started raising her child alone. It was tough. As Ling Lan grew older, she became more and more outstanding. Lan Luofeng finally managed to settle down. But after Ling Xiao came back, both her husband and daughter climbed higher and higher, gaining more attention and hatred in the process. Her mistress's wish for Lan Luofeng's peaceful life didn't come true. However, in the eyes of every lady in the Federation, Lan Luofeng had hit the jackpot. She had a good marriage and a good child. They gritted their teeth in jealousy when they thought about how amazing Lan Luofeng's husband and child were.

If this continued, Lan Luofeng might still have a blessed life like what her grandma had hoped for. She would be able to live peacefully until her death. However, things went against her wishes. Her granddaughter had a hard life. Her husband still died in the end. The impact this time was even greater than before because this time, her only child went missing too. When the mistress heard this, she could hear her heart shattering into pieces. She felt regret too. She should have rejected the marriage between Lan Luofeng and Ling Xiao.

Actually, the First Marshal was happy to see Ling Xiao and Lan Luofeng getting married. If not, how could Ling Xiao chase Lan Luofeng so successfully? As the daughter of the Lan family, even though she was raised outside of the Lan family compound, they wouldn't let her get married to someone so easily.

In the past, she was convinced by her husband. However, she regretted it now. She shouldn't have believed him. When he mercilessly sent her fourth son to death, she should have stopped believing him when it came to family affairs.

As his wife, she knew him very well. She didn't believe that the First Marshal didn't know anything about the scheme behind Ling Xiao's death.
