An Ning's indignant words stunned An Yi. Before An Yi could retort, An Ning continued.

"The reason you can flirt around and attract attention in the school is because you have a younger sister. That's how you got into the school. If you didn't have a younger sister, you would still be nothing."

"If you don't have money to spend, do you think those beautiful women will still fawn over you? Do you think those rich young men will still hang out with you?"

An Yi pursed his lips, turned and left without saying anything. If it were any other time, An Yi would have either confronted him or tried to brush it off with a laugh. But An Ning's words were direct and to the point.

He did not deny that it was indeed his younger sister who brought all of this to light.

An Ning grumbled as An Yi left, "Hmph, I told you so, now you have nothing to say."

**

Anle returned home two days later. Now Anle rarely informs her family when she goes out. She always comes and goes in a hurry, and no one knows when she will return or when she will be gone.

However, Anning habitually strolls into Anle's courtyard every day to check if her door is locked. If there's no lock on the outside, it means she's back.

Seeing that Anle's door wasn't locked, Anning's eyes lit up, and she called out from outside the courtyard, "Little sister, little sister, are you back yet?"

Hearing Anning's voice outside, Anle, who was inside the house, opened the window, clutching a contract that needed to be signed.

The contract was prepared by Anle for Yan Qingxue to sign, and she was carefully checking it again to see if there was anything she had missed.

An Ning grinned and leaned closer, standing outside the window, looking quite excited and gossiping.

"Little sister, let me tell you, something big happened at home while you were gone these past two days. Do you remember what Grandpa said about seeing Uncle?"

Anle paused, looked up from the contract, raised her head, glanced at Anning, and raised an eyebrow.

"And then what? Did the person come back to life? Or did they see a ghost?"

If her fourth sister hadn't brought it up with her, she would have completely forgotten about it.

I've been quite busy these past few days, and Yu Rong hasn't had time to inquire about this matter. She's been busy with the greenhouse project and the construction of the amusement park, working non-stop with almost no time to rest.

She also has a lot of big and small things to do, and many things need to be handled by her. For example, the greenhouse polycarbonate panels are almost finished, and she has been going to check on the greenhouse these past two days.

She didn't know much about building greenhouses; everything she learned came from her system, the Rural Garden.

However, when it comes to practical application, it still feels a bit difficult to actually build. It took two months to finally complete the project, and now we're waiting for the trial operation.

Now all that's left is the planting.

"Little sister, you were right. It's like he's come back from the dead. Uncle really is back. He even came to our door in person and stayed overnight. He left the day before yesterday morning."

It's a pity you weren't home, so you didn't see it.

Anle, who had been responding casually and nonchalantly, suddenly looked up, her face showing surprise and astonishment.

"Huh? He's not dead? He's really not dead?"

The little chick in Anning nodded as it pecked at the rice.

Anle blinked. "Then the person Grandpa saw, was it really Uncle?"

"Yes, what's there to question? Uncle has already come over, but he was too busy and left again. He said he was thinking of sending someone to pick up Grandpa when he returns to the capital so he can stay there."

"Uncle wants to take Master away. Uncle is currently in the capital, working for the royal family, I think he's some kind of commander of the Imperial Guard."

An Le's face stiffened for two seconds upon hearing the last sentence: "Serving the royal family? Commander of the Imperial Guard?"

He couldn't help but think of Yu Rong, and breathed a slight sigh of relief. Ah, he almost forgot, the current emperor is not the previous one, so it doesn't matter to Yu Rong anymore.

Only then did I belatedly realize that I had also pondered another piece of information that Anning had mentioned.

"What did Grandpa say? Are we going to the capital?"

"Of course I'll go! I heard that Uncle already has a family in the capital, and the Emperor even bestowed the marriage upon him. Grandpa wants to go and see his daughter-in-law."

Surely a son can get married and not even know what his wife looks like?

However, Grandpa didn't say he would stay there for a long time, just that he would stay for a few days.

Grandpa definitely still prefers staying with us. It's so much better with so many people in our family; it's lively and fun.

Anle nodded, then looked back at the contract in her hand.

"No, little sister, aren't you even a little bit curious? Uncle has come back from the dead! Aren't you curious about what he's been doing these past two years, where he went? Aren't you even a little bit excited?"

Anle rolled her eyes.

"Didn't you already say that he serves the royal family in the palace and is the commander of the Imperial Guard? Isn't that the same as serving the royal family? What else is there to ask?"

"Um, but... but Uncle hasn't come back for two years. He suddenly disappeared without a trace, without giving the family any news. Aren't you curious about that?"

"Well, when you serve the royal family, you're often not in control of your own life. There's probably some reason why you have to disappear or die."

Just like Yu Rong, he also went through a period of darkness and despair, forced to do so because he was in a position of power.

“Tsk tsk, little sister, sometimes I think you’re really amazing. It’s like you can see through everything. Just like you said, it’s like you have no choice. It’s because you’re serving the royal family that your uncle…” An Ning chattered on and on about An Man Valley to An Le. An Le listened and nodded from time to time, occasionally echoing her words.

"Little sister, I heard that Uncle came here because he has some duties to attend to. He seems to be staying at Jincheng Commercial Street for a while. Maybe we can see him if we go there."

“Don’t be silly. The Jincheng Commercial District is so big now, there are commercial streets everywhere. Even if you go there, it’s not so easy to run into them. There will always be a chance to see them again in the future.” Anle casually lowered his eyelids, his eyes on the contract in his hand.

The contract is all set; all we need to do is get Yan Qingxue to sign it.

"Fourth Sister, when are you going to apply for a job at Jincheng Commercial Street? I've already made arrangements for you. As long as you go for the application, the government will approve it."

An Ning was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "Eh? So fast? Little sister, you've already given me a heads-up, so does that mean I can go over now?"

"Can I get a job at that hotel too?"

"Yes, yes, if you want to go, go quickly."
