Old Man Yun looked speechless and glanced at Chu Jiangtun resentfully, thinking to himself: Son, we are about to flee our home to avoid disaster, how can things be good?
Chu Jiangtun was overjoyed and rubbed his hands in excitement…
He had expected to return to the capital alone, continuing a life of missing his family and yearning for his father's love. He never imagined that things would turn around so quickly. Kuai Shu Ge.
“Dad, Mom, don’t be stubborn this time. Come back to the capital with me. Go see that big house. If anything is missing, I’ll have Old Ma buy it in advance…” Chu Jiangtun said with a simple laugh.
Upon hearing this, Madam Gu sighed softly and looked at Old Man Yun, “Old man, our family has settled in Dashui Village for so many years, and we’ve never traveled far. It’s still a long way from the planting and farming season. How about we just take a trip to the capital!~”
She had been born in a general’s mansion since childhood and had seen the vicious and insidious methods of the concubines. Even in a battle of the inner chambers, they could drive her, the legitimate eldest daughter, out of the general’s mansion and reduce her to a beggar. Not to mention palace intrigue…
Xiao Jinheng was of noble birth, and there were naturally many people watching him. It had already been difficult enough to spend so many years peacefully in Dashui Village. Now that enemies were coming to their doorstep, they wouldn’t reason with you.
The best way was to temporarily leave this place and go somewhere for peace and quiet…
“Old, old woman, if we leave, what will happen to the affairs at home?” Old Man Yun rubbed his leg, looking troubled. “Putting aside other things, what about the shops in the county town? We can’t just abandon them, can we? And who will help us raise the dairy cows at home? What about Jinshan’s studies? Xiao Zhuzi is so young, can he travel a thousand miles in the cold winter by carriage?”
“Uncle Yun!~” Xiao Jinheng stepped forward upon hearing this. “Actually, Guihua’s eldest sister-in-law, Da Man’s brother, and Jinshan can continue to stay in the county town. I will send all my hidden guards to protect them day and night…”
Speaking of which, he looked at Du Tieshan and Yun Erman again. “Moreover, Sister-in-law Shanshan and Brother Erman don’t need to go to the capital. Right now, Xi Tian has handed over the snack shop to Sister-in-law. You should put all your effort into managing it well and earning more money. Xi Tian will be happy then!~”
Yun Erman mumbled, “Although you say that, what if those people find us? What should we do?”
With his meager martial arts skills, how could he contend with the experts?
“Erman, don’t worry!~” Kong Xingzhuo walked in from outside, rubbing his hands. “I’ve already written a letter to the capital. They will send people to protect you as quickly as possible!”
The imperial guards by the Emperor’s side were all from the rapid deployment forces. If they rushed, they might even catch up with Shen Ducai and the others…
Du Tieshan clenched her fists. “What are you afraid of? If they dare to come, I’ll risk my life to fight them!~”
“You should sit down!” Yun Erman said with a wry smile.
Since everyone in the family had discussed it, Old Man Yun asked Erman to ride a fast horse and deliver a letter to Da Man and his wife overnight…
So that they wouldn’t be scared when they returned and found no one at home.
Jin Huaihua stood at the door, hesitated for a moment, then asked Madam Gu, “Madam Gu, should I stay at home and wait for you to return, or…”
The capital was so far away, and Zhao Guihua and Du Tieshan were not by her side. How could she manage without anyone to take care of her?
Madam Gu smiled gently. Just as she was about to say something, Xiao Jinfeng suddenly walked in from outside. “Huaihua will stay with this young master and go nowhere!~”
Madam Gu: “…”
If people didn’t know, they would think Huaihua was your maid.
Xiao Jinheng glanced at Xiao Jinfeng and lowered his voice, “Second Brother, your imperial concubine is truly ungrateful and audacious. She even dares to send people to assassinate me now!”
Xiao Jinfeng: “…”
I’m also very helpless!
“Huaihua, are you willing to stay with Young Master Xiao, or will you come with us?” Madam Gu asked.
Everyone in the family knew that Xiao Jinfeng and Jin Huaihua were in love. Madam Gu didn’t want to break them up forcefully…
Jin Huaihua hesitated for a long time before looking up at Xiao Jinfeng. “I, I will stay to accompany Young Master Xiao!~”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinfeng’s face lit up with joy. He tightly grasped Jin Huaihua’s hand. “I knew you wouldn’t abandon me!”
True feelings are revealed in times of adversity.
Old Man Yun poured Sun Laohan a cup of tea and asked him in a low voice, “Old brother, what are your thoughts?”
Actually, even if he didn’t ask, he should have known that Sun Laohan didn’t want to go out and cause trouble…
If he were to get bumped or frozen, it would be even more troublesome.
“Me? Hehe!” Sun Laohan gave a self-deprecating laugh, his face calm and indifferent. “My old bones are just a frame of bones. If those people want them, they can take them quickly, saving me from suffering…”
After hearing this, Old Man Yun nodded gently. “Good. Huaihua is also at home. If you have any inconveniences, just tell her!~”
“I know, I know!” Sun Laohan took a sip of tea. “You should take care of yourselves! I have a tough life, and I won’t die anytime soon. I’ll help you feed the cows at home…”
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Xiao Jinheng pulled Xiao Jinfeng aside.
“Heng’er, if you have something to say, why are you grabbing me?” Xiao Jinfeng said helplessly.
Xiao Jinheng said sternly, “Second Brother, I ask you, did you let Consort Xian send people to assassinate me?”
Xiao Jinfeng: “…”
If he wanted to assassinate you, would he have to wait until now? Wouldn’t he have acted sooner?
“It wasn’t me!~” Xiao Jinfeng shook his head. “It was my mother who was too eager for quick success and wanted to put you to death.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinheng slightly curved his lips. “My maternal uncle just passed away, and she couldn’t wait. It seems my father was too merciful to her before. Second Brother, you can see for yourself, it’s all because of your mother’s greed and selfishness that the old Yun family is in chaos and can’t find peace. Now they have to move their entire family to avoid disaster. Is this what you want to see?”
This time, when he returned to the capital, no matter what method he used, he had to get rid of Consort Xian…
Xiao Jinfeng’s mouth twitched after hearing this. “Heng’er, do you think I feel any better? Do you want me to write you a letter of guarantee right now to prove that I have no intention of becoming the Crown Prince, nor do I want to compete with you for the succession?”
It’s like a ghost, wanting to live a peaceful and quiet life is not allowed…
“That’s not necessary. As long as Second Brother’s heart is upright and clear, Heng’er will believe in your character!~” Xiao Jinheng said.
Everyone in the old Yun family was busy, packing their luggage overnight and taking their valuables with them.
Han Chi Jiao held half a twisted dough stick and stood at the guest room door, watching while eating, her expression very curious…
