Those two damned women, do they even know who I am?
How dare they treat me like this?
Yan Wan and Jing Xi looked at each other and smiled. Sure enough, they were young and their minds were not stable. They were easily fooled and their flaws were exposed.
“Yes, look at you, so young. It’s so tiring for you to be out here escorting goods with the adults instead of studying. You shouldn’t be doing such dangerous things at such a young age,” Jing Xi said, echoing Yan Wan.
"Yes, Qin Si, you work hard as a waiter during the day, and I'll hire a tutor for you at night so you can study hard and try to pass the imperial examinations and achieve fame and fortune," Yan Wan said with a malicious smile.
This plan would make even capitalists weep!
"What? You want me to take the imperial examination?"
These two women are insane!!!
Upon hearing this, Li Guang and the others fell into deep thought. Yes, it was precisely because they could no longer teach the young master anything that they brought him out of the mountains to find a teacher to continue teaching him. Now that their master had proposed this idea, it was truly wonderful!
Anyway, let the Yue Kingdom fight like dogs for now. Maybe we can reap the benefits when they go back.
Li Guang was the first to react, and said with gratitude, "Thank you very much, Master. That's wonderful. I'll accept on behalf of Si'er. Thank you, Master."
Qin Si stared at Li Guang in disbelief. "No way? Uncle Li's been driven mad by these two crazy women too!"
He's a citizen of the same country, yet he's taking the imperial examinations of the Yin state?
The world has finally gone mad to a level he could never have imagined.
"No, Uncle Li, I... um..." The bearded man stepped forward, covered the red-clothed boy's mouth, and led him to the back.
The world where Yan Wan and the others lived a peaceful life, with only Qin Si suffering, was achieved.
Yan Wan and Jing Xi: Why are you kids getting involved in all this fun? You'd be better off reading more books.
"Manager Li, I wonder how skilled your brothers are? May I have a spar with them?" Jing Xi said mischievously, wanting to test her skills first and see how good they were so she could get a sense of their abilities.
“Of course,” Li Guang said.
"Then let's bring both of them together." Jing Xi twisted her neck and casually gestured with her right index and middle fingers.
At this moment, a bearded man and a thin man on the right came out, clasped their hands in a salute, and rushed forward. Jing Xi revealed an excited smile and met them with her unpredictable and ever-changing figure.
Looking at Jing Xi's confident smile, Yan Wan turned around and said, "Manager Wang, take me to see the granary."
Wang Rong glanced worriedly behind Yan Wan, who smiled and said, "Don't worry, she won't lose." Yan Wan had always trusted Jing Xi.
Seeing the same confidence on Yan Wan's face, Wang Rong turned around and walked out first, leading the way for Yan Wan.
Looking at the warehouse full of grain, Yan Wan suddenly felt reassured. As expected, having surplus grain at home meant she was not worried. Yan Wan turned around and said, "Manager Wang, give me the key and go about your business. I can take a look by myself."
Wang Rong respectfully handed the key to Yan Wan and then left.
After Wang Rong left, Yan Wan looked at the grain piled up like a small mountain and exclaimed happily, "That's amazing! There's so much grain!"
With a wave of her hand, Yan Wan stored the grain in front of her into her spatial storage. She repeated the process, storing the remaining nine warehouses into her space. Yan Wan entered her space and looked around. So much grain had only filled a small corner of the warehouses; it seemed she would have to visit other estates later.
When Yan Wan returned to the courtyard, she saw Jing Xi sitting on the wall with a big smile on her face. Yan Wan turned her head and looked at the injured people in the courtyard, and said with a smile, "Jing Xi, come down quickly, I knew you were the best."
Jing Xi jumped off the wall and said arrogantly, "That's right, look how badly I beat them."
The crowd cast resentful glances at the two girls who were talking happily, saying, "Have they been staying in the mountains for too long? Why do girls these days like martial arts? And they're so good at it, always hitting people in the face!"
"How is it?" Yan Wan asked.
"Not bad, enough to deal with some bandits and outlaws, suitable for escorting goods," Jing Xi said. In fact, their kung fu was not bad, it was just that they had encountered Jing Xi.
"That's good. Uncle Li, could you please take them to the security escort agency next to the hot pot restaurant later? They're all ready there, and we can start as soon as the goods arrive," Yan Wan said.
"Yes, sir." Li Guang said with increasing respect. He dared not underestimate these two sirs more and more. One was good at manipulating people's hearts, and the other was good at martial arts. They were really formidable.
"Yes, Steward Wang, remember what I told you. Also, I'll send people to move the grain tonight, so you don't need to guard it. Don't come out no matter what noise you hear," Yan Wan instructed.
“Yes, Miss.” Wang Rong nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, Jingxi, let's go back quickly." Yan Wan pulled Jingxi away. They had to get back soon, otherwise the people from the Han Prince's Mansion would still be at the hot pot restaurant. They had been gone for two or three hours already, and if they stayed too long, they would become suspicious.
The carriage traveled at high speed, and half an hour later, it stopped at the back door of Yanji Hot Pot. Yan Wan and Jing Xi pretended to come out of the private room. Yan Wan glanced at the servants that Ji Mohan had arranged for her and did not see anything unusual on their faces, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
After Yan Wan went downstairs and got two hot pot bases from Gu Yu, she parted ways with Jing Xi and returned to the Han Prince's Mansion. She handed the hot pot bases to Uncle He. Having resolved a major issue today, Yan Wan planned to celebrate with hot pot that evening.

"Congratulations, host, mission complete." A mechanical voice sounded in Yan Wan's mind.
"System, you're finally online! That's great!" Yan Wan said eagerly.
"Hehe, host, please draw the reward."
A large red spinning wheel appeared in front of Yan Wan, displaying various rewards. Yan Wan stared intently at the "Life-Changing Talisman," took a deep breath, and clicked the button. The wheel immediately began to spin. Yan Wan nervously watched the arrow, holding her breath. Finally, the wheel slowly stopped, and the arrow pointed to: "Reversal Pill? What is this?" Yan Wan asked, looking at the dark pill.
"As the name suggests, the Rewind Pill allows you to rewind time once," the system explained dryly.
"But what's the use of this?" Yan Wan asked, puzzled.
"Host, this is extremely useful. By consuming this pill, you can travel back in time and see the person you wish to see," the system explained anxiously.
"Oh, I see." Yan Wan said indifferently. There was no one she wanted to see at the moment, so she casually put the Reversal Pill into her spatial storage.

In Ji Mohan's study, a dark figure landed and respectfully said, "Your Highness, we have found Fang Shi, and she is already on her way back to the capital."
Ji Mohan paused in his brush, a drop of black ink instantly ruining the calligraphy he had just copied. After a long silence, Ji Mohan said in a deep voice, "I understand. You may leave."
After the shadow disappeared, Ji Mohan looked at the moon outside the window, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the desk. If someone who knew him well saw this, they would know that it was a sign of his inner turmoil.
Mother, I will soon know the truth and be able to avenge you. All of this will finally come to an end.
Ji Mohan was filled with pain and depression, hiding himself in the shadows and silently sinking into darkness.
Suddenly, a delicate voice rang out from the window, "Ji Mohan, we're having hot pot tonight, come quick."
It instantly pulled Ji Mohan out of his pain, like warm sunshine shining on a mud pit. Ji Mohan said in a hoarse voice, "Yan Wan, Aunt Fang has been found and will arrive in the capital in a few days."
Yan Wan seemed surprised that it was so soon. She paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then let's have a welcome dinner for Aunt Fang in advance."
“Okay,” Ji Mohan said. Looking at the person in front of him, he suddenly felt that the result of his dilemma was not so important.
Yan Wan: Ji Mohan, don't be afraid, I think I've found a way to find out the truth.
