Li Liang, looking distressed, relayed the city lord's words to Li Fei, who was equally confused.

Tang 77 had already stormed off in a huff. Li Liang didn't care about anything else. Although he didn't quite understand what the city lord was saying, it was always right to follow the regent.

Tang 77 estimated that the people he had sent to Tangjiagou to invite should be arriving soon, but he didn't know who they would be.

I secretly ran away, intending to stay for ten days or half a month before going back. But several months have passed in the blink of an eye. If I hadn't kept sending letters home to let them know I was safe, they probably would have all gone out to look for me.

Tang 77 has already bought a house in Lanling. Of the money the family earned, a portion was put into a money exchange, while Xu Lanzhi had Tang 77 store most of it in her spatial storage!

Tang 77 woke up from her nap and Qi Hong said that someone had sent a letter. Tang 77 looked and sure enough, it was from her second sister who had arrived in Lanling and was now settled in the house.

Tang 77 was overjoyed and had Liu Lü change her into a simple and elegant women's outfit. She then slipped out the back door to Fu'an Street.

This time, Li Liang was much more cautious. He quickly sent someone to report to his elder brother Li Fei that the Regent had gone out dressed as a woman, while he secretly protected Tang 77.

When Tang 77 arrived at the house on Fu'an Road, her second sister, Yindi, was directing everyone to pack their things. Yindi suddenly looked up, saw Tang 77, grabbed a rolling pin, and stormed over.

"You brat, you finally decided to show your face! You ran off without even saying goodbye, were you trying to scare us to death?!"

Yindi could scold fiercely, but when she was in front of Tang 77, she threw down the rolling pin and hugged Tang 77, sobbing.

Tang 77 was very sensible and carefully smiled and said, "Second Sister, don't be angry. I'm fine, aren't I? If your husband were here, he would think you were a shrew!"

Yindi glared at her again: "You little brat, do you need a good beating?"

Hearing the commotion, Liu Rufeng hurriedly came out and pulled Yindi aside, saying, "Wife, don't listen to 77's nonsense. You are the most gentle and quiet person in the world."

Tang 77 covered her cheek and said, "My God, brother-in-law, you read the classics every day, how could you say such shameless things? My teeth are falling out!"

Liu Rufeng smiled and sighed, saying, "You silly girl, you really don't appreciate kindness. I kindly came to help you out of a predicament, and you actually ridicule me."

Tang 77 playfully stuck out her tongue and tugged at Yindi, saying coquettishly, "Second sister, I didn't intend to walk for so long. There was just a little trouble on the way that delayed me. How are Grandmother and Mother? How is the business at home?"

Yindi rolled her eyes at her and said, "You still have the nerve to ask Grandmother and Mother? If it weren't for your letter that Mother felt a little relieved, she would be worried sick. Go back to Huaiyuan tomorrow and don't let your family worry about you!"

Tang 77 can't go back now. She's the regent, second only to the emperor, and she hasn't had enough of being an official yet.

Besides, she also needs to help Lan Yu revitalize Lanling!

Tang 77 immediately waved her hand: "Second Sister, I can't go back, I have something to do. By the way, didn't Third Sister and the others come? I'm waiting for her skills!"

Yindi said, "Your third sister is due to give birth in two months. She wants to come to Lanling to broaden her horizons, but Baogen and Mother are not going to let her have her way. She has found two capable people to help you!"

Hearing that another baby was coming to the family, Tang 77 was naturally overjoyed. She craned her neck and looked around, wanting to see who else was coming.

Fourth Sister Sidi had just finished packing her things when she came out and saw Tang 77. Her eyes reddened, and she scolded, "77, you went too far this time. You left without a word. You don't know how worried we were when we heard there was a battle in Lanling!"

As Si Di spoke, she stepped forward and hugged Tang 77. 77 leaned on Si Di's shoulder and said, "Fourth Sister, I want to eat the cake you made!"

Sisi burst into laughter through her tears: "You little glutton, alright, you can have as much as you want in a bit!"

Yindi and Sidi each took one of Tang 77's hands and led her into the house. They looked her up and down and saw that she looked very healthy and had grown taller. Only then did they feel relieved. Yindi then gave her another lecture.

Tang 77 looked around and, not seeing anyone else, asked, "Didn't Uncle Qingfeng and Brother Ziqiang come? Didn't I specifically tell Uncle Qingfeng and the others to come?"

Yindi frowned and said, "You still have something to say? You sent a letter saying you needed someone with technical skills, but your third sister is six months pregnant and it's inconvenient for her. Uncle Qingfeng and Ziqiang are working on the oil press machine at a critical juncture, and you said it was an extremely urgent matter. So you had no choice but to let me, someone without technical skills, and Ziqiang come along!"

"Tell me, what's the big deal? Mother and Grandmother are still the same as always, no matter how much they try to persuade you, they can't stop you. They say you wouldn't do this for no reason; either there's a great business opportunity, or you've encountered some difficulties!"

Tang 77 had already thought it through. She could only tell her second sister the truth about this matter, but she couldn't tell her that she had become the regent, because they wouldn't believe her anyway.

After listening, Yindi was quite optimistic: "Lanling's current economic situation is not as good as Huaiyuan's, but it has great potential. Moreover, Lanling has a large population and a bright future!"
