Yes, that's right. Although I've never met them, from my elder sister's letters, I know the Xia family treats her and Panpan very well, so Xia Guangcheng's identity as a son-in-law is naturally recognized by the Xiao family.
"Indeed, I've heard that the Emperor appointed General Lou, but General Lou was startled by a horse on his way back to the mansion, fell off and broke his ribs. In the end, it was General Xia who volunteered to go to Shu City to quell the unrest."

Chun Nuan almost burst out laughing at this excuse—a military officer startled by a horse would fall from a carriage and break his ribs?
It's the funniest joke she's ever heard!
If everyone were as skilled as him and could still become generals, then the borders of Great Xia wouldn't need defending and enemies could simply march unimpeded!
