Rebirth of a Star General (Legend of the Female General)

Chapter 92: Whose Fiancée?

When He Yan was fourteen years old, she entered the Xianchang Academy, and at fifteen, she joined the Fuyue Army. Her hasty decision to join the military was made without anyone's knowledge, and even the instructors at the Xianchang Academy were taken aback. However, when she returned to her family after gaining military achievements and receiving imperial rewards, the He family didn't question her about why she had joined the military.

Looking back now, if she hadn't achieved military merits and had returned to the He family after a few years of wandering as an ordinary soldier, the outcome might not be the same as it is today.

He Yan still remembered Song Taotao.

When He Yan was fifteen years old and had joined the Xianchang Academy under the guise of being He Rufei, she had average aptitude, and as a girl, she naturally lacked the physical strength of boys. She couldn't compare to the young men in the academy. He Yuansheng gradually realized this but didn't blame her. He Yan thought that she could continue her life peacefully like this.

Until that day.

The Xianchang Academy allowed students to return home for two days each month. However, due to the arrival of the rainy season at that time, the rain had washed away the plaque at the entrance of the academy. As a result, the instructors had asked the students to return home a day early and come back three days later.

He Yan's return home was rushed, and no one knew about it. She had changed into different clothes first and then went to find He Yuansheng. Every month when she returned home, He Yuansheng would ask her about her life at the Xianchang Academy. These distant and almost surveillant questions didn't make He Yan feel warm, and she was actually quite nervous whenever she spoke with He Yuansheng.

But on that day, when she went there, He Yuansheng hadn't returned yet, and even the servants at the door were absent. She decided to wait in He Yuansheng's study first. In the study, there was a screen, and since He Yan didn't have anything else to do, she decided to sit behind the screen and read some books.

She had only been sitting for a moment when someone entered.

It was He Yuanliang's voice, and he said, "What do you think about He Yan's situation?"

He Yan, who had been about to leave, froze upon hearing this. She initially intended to leave, but her actions were suddenly halted. Instead, she retreated behind the screen.

He Yuanliang had a completely different personality from He Yuansheng. He Yuansheng seemed gentle but was actually strict. Later, when Madam He had other children, he treated them harshly. He Yuanliang, her biological father, had a completely different temperament and always had a smiling face. He treated the later children with great affection, except for her.

He Yan's feelings toward He Yuanliang were complicated. She had hoped that He Yuanliang would treat her with the same warmth and affection as he did his younger daughters, but he didn't. Every time he looked at her, it was like looking at a nephew, polite and at most, he would offer some advice.

With so many disappointments, He Yan had stopped expecting.

But today, she heard her name coming from her biological father's mouth, and she didn't know why she chose to hide behind the screen and not go out.

"She's doing well now, studying at the Xianchang Academy, and no one has found out. She's fifteen now... at most, we need to arrange her marriage before she turns eighteen."

Hiding behind the screen, He Yan held her breath.

Marriage? She had never thought about this. She was currently posing as He Rufei, a male identity. How could she arrange her own marriage? Once she got engaged, what would He Rufei do? Who would play the role of "He Rufei"?
