"Xinxi, sit down first." Nan Wusi helped Ouyang Xinxi sit down.
"Sisi, what good thing did you bring me? Why are you being so mysterious?" Ouyang Xinxi asked with a smile.
"This is it." Nan Wusi took out the scar removal cream and handed it to Ouyang Xinxi.
"What's this for?" Ouyang Xinxi asked curiously, playing with the scar removal cream in her hand.
"This is called scar removal cream; it can eliminate scars," Nan Wusi said, only this one sentence.
Ouyang Xinxi stopped what she was doing and stared at Nan Wusi in astonishment.
"Sisi, is this true?" Ouyang Xinxi's voice trembled slightly.
“Why would I lie to you?” Nan Wusi said, looking into Ouyang Xinxi’s eyes.
Upon hearing Nan Wusi's words, Ouyang Xinxi's tears instantly flowed. She had originally thought that she would have to live with this ugly face for the rest of her life.
Although no one in the Nan family ever looked down on her, she despised herself. She felt ashamed of her own ugliness, selfishness, and despicable nature. She believed that Nan Wufeng was only willing to be with her because he felt guilty.
Not only was her appearance completely ruined, making her hideous, but she also forcibly tied herself to Nan Wufeng.
Now, Nan Wusi gave her hope again. She finally realized that he could restore his appearance and would never be looked down upon again.
Nan Wusi was startled when he saw Ouyang Xinxi crying, but he was also touched when he thought about how hard she had been these past few days.
Nan Wusi gently patted Ouyang Xinxi's back to comfort her and help her calm down.
After venting her emotions, Ouyang Xinxi looked at Nan Wusi with teary eyes and said, "Sisi, thank you."
"No need to thank me, we're family now." Nan Wusi flashed a charming smile, and Ouyang Xinxi also stopped crying and started laughing.
"I must keep this a secret from your older brother so I can give him a surprise." Ouyang Xinxi seemed to have regained her usual liveliness.
"Hmm, quietly. Haha." Nan Wusi guessed that her older brother would definitely be shocked when the time came.
In the following days, because Nan Wusi couldn't stay still, she pestered Jiang Zhirou to go shopping with her every day, which made Nan Tianba furious. He finally had a chance to spend some quality time with his wife, but Nan Wusi ruined it.
Nan Wusi also took advantage of these few days to really explore the entire town.
During this period, Zhu Baichuan contacted her once more because all the goods he had were sold out; the popularity of these cosmetics had truly shocked him.
Nan Wusi also gave Zhu Baichuan a large amount of goods and instructed him to quickly finalize the shop's establishment.
Zhu Baichuan readily agreed, as he also wanted to get things done quickly, but opening a shop is not that easy; it would take time to prepare many things.
However, he has already finalized the shop's location, and it will open for business immediately once the renovations are complete.
That day, while Nan Wusi and his family were having dinner, a soldier suddenly came to report: "General, our granary has been burned down!"
Nan Tianba stood up abruptly and said to Nan Wufeng, "The fish is caught in the net, let's go."
Just as Nan Tianba was about to step outside, another soldier suddenly appeared: "Reporting to the general, the Northern Huan have attacked and have already begun their assault."
"So fast! There's no wind, let's go." Nan Tianba's tone became serious.
“Father, I’ll go with you too.” Nan Wusi suddenly stood up. She was worried about Nan Tianba and the others going ahead.
"Nonsense!" Nan Tianba turned around and scolded Nan Wusi, "What can you do there? Not just anyone can guard the pass! Stay home and keep your mother company."
"Father, it's too dangerous for you to go. Let me go with you. I'm very skilled in martial arts and can protect myself," Nan Wusi tried to persuade Nan Tianba.
"Don't even think about it. This is the army, and there are strict rules. You can't mess around here." Nan Tianba ignored Nan Wusi's words and strode out of the mansion.
"Father!" Nan Wusi cried out unwillingly.
"Sisi, I know it's dangerous, but what war isn't dangerous? Be good and stay by your mother's side. You're skilled in martial arts, so you must protect your mother." Nan Tianba stopped and turned to Nan Wusi, then quickly left again.
Namo Si could only stomp his feet in frustration.
Jiang Zhirou stepped forward and gently patted Nan Wusi's head: "Sisi, your father didn't mean to yell at you, but he's right. There are military disciplines in the army. You haven't joined the army or been trained. Even if you have high martial arts skills, it won't help you if you go there."
"Stay here in the manor and wait patiently. You must believe that your father will return safely."
"Mother, aren't you scared?" Nan Wusi looked at Jiang Zhirou anxiously.
“Afraid? Of course I’m afraid, but I’d rather believe in your father. I believe he can return victorious.” Jiang Zhirou smiled gently, as if a force was supporting her.
Nan Tianba no longer had time to deal with these petty thieves. Just as he had expected, they were after the granary.
Fortunately, they had moved most of the grain from the granary beforehand, leaving only bait, so the loss was not too great.
You must understand that the most important thing in military campaigns is food supply. If it is burned down, then survival is cut off.
Nan Tianba could only detain him first, and then go to the city wall to give orders.
The one who led the troops to attack this time was actually the second prince of Bei Huan. His style of leading troops was to be brave and charge forward head-on.
Therefore, this attack came with great force, and when Nan Tianba reached the city wall, it was already on the verge of being unable to withstand it.
Fortunately, Nan Tianba had been fighting for many years and was not flustered by the current disadvantage. He calmly arranged for his soldiers to fight back and quickly stabilized the situation.
Seeing that the situation was slowly turning around, the second prince of Beihuan retreated in a fit of rage.
After the enemy retreated, Nan Tianba ordered Nan Wufeng to continue guarding the city wall, while he went to interrogate the traitor who had set fire to the granary.
At first, the man was very stubborn and refused to talk no matter how they asked him, so Nan Tianba ordered the others to torture him. Shortly after the torture, the man began to confess.
According to him, he was a man of Crown Prince Xiao Mu, and the burning of the granary was on Xiao Mu's orders. He was merely following orders and knew nothing else.
"Do you have anything to prove your identity?" Nan Tianba asked calmly.
"Yes, I secretly kept some letters, just in case," the man said.
"Go search." Nan Tianba gave his subordinate a look, and he immediately sent people to search.
"Besides setting fire to the granary, did the Crown Prince confess to anything else?" Nan Tianba continued to ask.
"In a few days, the Northern Huan will send grain convoys. The Crown Prince has instructed me to deliver this message to you," the man continued.
"Hmph, what a clever scheme." Nan Tianba sneered, it seemed someone wanted to kill him.
