Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing had not returned to the General's mansion since they began serving her husband as slaves, following him with utmost loyalty, even willing to be beaten to death rather than leave his side.
The Meng Family had a motto: Everything can be absent, except for loyalty.
Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing, sons of the Great General, once had a superior-subordinate relationship with her husband. They fought and achieved many military merits together. If it weren't for their father's dying command to serve Xiao Changyi as slaves, they would surely still be in the military camp.
Even though they had become slaves to her husband and no longer served in the military camp, the Emperor of Xiyun had not stripped Meng Lanqing and Meng Zhuqing of their ranks; Meng Lanqing still retained the title of General, and Meng Zhuqing that of Deputy General.
