The Yang family members were seated in the receiving hall with the Jiang family members entertaining them as the host . Yang Yun's mother, Liu Qing was conversing with their parents while Yang Yun's younger sister, Yang An sat down politely as she listened to the elders talking .
When the three Jiang brothers showed up, the elders' conversation instantly paused . Jiang Huan motioned for his sons to step forward . "Mrs . Yang, let me introduce you to my sons, Mingyue's brothers . Xiao Xian, the eldest, Xiao Tian the second and Xiao Liang the third . "
Liu Qing greeted the three brothers before her gaze stopped at Jiang Xiao Xian with a smile on her face . "General Jiang, thank you for always looking after Yang Yun . "

"It's nothing," Jiang Xiao Xian said . His stern face looked much handsome when he smiled . "Yang Yun is one, my men . Naturally, I have to look after him . "
Liu Qing lowered her gaze . The smile on her face did not fade . Then, she looked up to meet Han Yunyi's eyes . "I am always thankful for your family's help . " She turned to look at her son, Yang Yun who sat next to her . "This child, if his father did not pass away so early, Yang Yun would never have to join the army at such a young age and face a harsh life . "
Yang Yun's father passed away when he was small on a battlefield on the Southeast border . Because of the lack of a male figure in his family, Yang's family started to decline . People around them would look down on his mother as a widow . Even some of their family members would refuse to help them .
Their house was old and in major need of repair . They didn't have much food to eat and could only rely on finding wild vegetables and games on the mountain . It was hard for his mother to raise Yang Yun and his sister all by herself .
So, when Yang Yun was twelve, he decided to join the army . He wanted to be like his father . He wanted to earn some money for his mother and rebuild their family reputation so that people would stop looking down on them .
When he signed up as Da Cheng soldier, Yang Yun was placed in Jiang Xiao Xian's camp — seeing how Yang Yun trained so hard and his potential, Jiang Xiao Xian favored him . When he learned about Yang Yun's family situation, he was the first to offer financial aid . Later on, he promoted Yang Yun, and from that on, Yang Yun's family could live much better .
"I don't know if I can repay the Jiang's family in this life," Liu Qing continued . Her eyes grew misty when she thought about the difficulties she had to endure after her husband passed away . One time, because of the flood, and they had lost their home, her family member was not the one who offered to help them . It was the Jiang .
Han Yunyi smiled as she patted Liu Qing's hand . "Don't overthink . We are going to be a family soon . If you can look after our daughter, Mingyue, I would be thankful . As she grew up with her brothers, Mingyue can be impulsive and stubborn at times . I hope that you can teach her well . "
"Mngyue is a sensible child . Don't worry . I will treat her well . " Liu Qing turned to Mingyue and smiled .
Liu Qing first met Mingyue when the girl came to their home town with her grandfather, the famous physician . At that time, the two of them were looking for some herbs and her son, and Yang Yun were accompanying them . Yang Yun brought them over and offered them for a place to stay .
Liu Qing liked Mingyue right away . The girl was beautiful and very polite . Although she came from a prestigious family, Mingyue and her grandfather did not look down on the others .
However she first heard of her son's relationship with the Jiang's daughter, Liu Qing was against it . She was worried as her family did not match with the Jiang . She talked to Yang Yun to forget Mingyue .
Who knows that a few months later, the old general, Jiang Huan would personally come over to her house and talked to her into allowing the two to be in a relationship . Thinking about it made Liu Qing embarrassed .
