Si Er and Madam Quan's two groups entered Xifeng City one after the other. As soon as Si Er entered the city, Quan Shaochuan stopped him.
Si Er was stunned for a moment before she realized, "Oh, it's Quan Shaochuan? Are you also going to the front lines to help?"
Quan Shaochuan truthfully said, "I wanted to help before, but my elder brother said that with my strength, I couldn't help everyone much. It would be better to help the neighboring grain city cultivate the land and grow more food that the human body can digest."
"But since yesterday, my heart has been pounding nonstop. I had a feeling that something was wrong with my father, so I dragged my mother over to check on him."
"So that's how it is..."
Si Er appeared to understand perfectly, but inwardly she was somewhat puzzled.
I wonder how Quan Shaochuan sensed all this. Is this what they call the bond between father and son?
"But even if they're father and son, why did they bring Madam Quan along? Could it be that Madam Quan will help Lord Quan?"
Si Er remembered that Guagua had told him before that Madam Quan only cared about her own courtyard and her two sons, and she was too lazy to care about anything else in the Quan family.
However, she still frequently goes to the front lines. Although she dislikes the current lord of Westwind City, she will always love the land beneath her feet.
Hearing Si Er's thoughts, Madam Quan laughed and said, "I came here out of curiosity to see if that old scoundrel Quan is really going to die."
"If he hadn't died, I would have left with regrets. But if he had died, my son's share of what was rightfully his must not be missing."
The city guards were used to hearing these words; they all thought that Lord Quan and Lady Quan could never reconcile, but Lord Quan didn't seem to think so.
Si Er chuckled dryly, "Aunt Quan is joking."
Madam Quan quickly waved her hand: "Please don't call me Aunt Quan, and definitely don't call me Madam Quan. My surname isn't Quan."
"My name is Que Junya, you can just call me Aunt Que."
Si Er quickly called out, "Aunt Que!"
"Oh, good boy!" Que Junya immediately beamed, reached out and ruffled Si Er's hair, her smile full of affection. "You are such a lovable child, unlike my son, who is so silly and dull, I don't know who he took after."
Yu Beihu whispered in Yu Beixuan's ear, "Did Quan Shaochuan inherit his looks from Lord Quan? I remember Father Yu saying that Lord Quan wasn't very smart."
Upon hearing this, Que Junya couldn't help but slap Quan Shaochuan's forehead: "That's right, I think so too. This kid's brain is being dragged down by his father."
Quan Shaochuan: "..."
He couldn't help but rub his head, seriously doubting whether he was really that stupid. Although he didn't think he was very smart, was it really necessary to be like this?
Does his mother dislike his father so much that she finds fault with everything about him?
Que Junya was also one of the elders of Xifeng City. With her leading the way, the group quickly arrived at the rest stop.
Que Junya found the city lord's tent with practiced ease, and as soon as she got close, a soft and charming voice came from inside the tent.
"Come on, cousin, it's time for your soup."
Si Er: "..."
I feel this phrase is similar in meaning to "The young man has taken his medicine."
"Guagua, is that soup the one with Soul-Eating Worm eggs in it?"
[Let me see? Huh? It's not her. The little cousin of Lord Quan inside isn't very bright; she doesn't even realize that her medicine packet has been secretly switched by her brother Quan.]
Quan Shaochuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. It was good that his older brother had switched him with someone else; that way, his father wouldn't be killed.
