During this period, Nan Wusi lived in constant anxiety, fearing that one day she would wake up to hear the news of Nan Tianba's death in battle.
Fortunately, the news she heard was not bad. Although there had been no great victory, at least the two sides were deadlocked and there were no large-scale casualties.
Jiang Zhirou had been extremely worried during this time, trying every possible way to distract Nan Wusi. She hadn't expected her daughter to be so anxious, even more so than she was.
So Jiang Zhirou would often consult with Nan Wusi about how to do her makeup and how to match her clothes. Of course, the best way was to prepare all kinds of delicious food for Nan Wusi.
Once Namo Si starts eating, he has no time to think about anything else.
A week passed, and Ouyang Xinxi actually walked out of her courtyard.
"Greetings, Mother, Sisi," Ouyang Xinxi called out, a bright smile on her face.
"Xinxi, your face is all better!" Nan Wusi stood up excitedly.
"Xinxi, come and sit down." Jiang Zhirou gently beckoned to Ouyang Xinxi.
"Thank you, Mother." With the help of her maid, Ouyang Xinxi sat down in a chair, her every move showing her good upbringing.
"Sisi, my face is really healed, all thanks to you. Thank you." Ouyang Xinxi looked at Nan Wusi and sincerely thanked her. This morning, when she woke up and saw her smooth, flawless face, she burst into tears.
"Oh, what's going on?" Jiang Zhirou also became interested.
"Hey, I just gave Xinxi a scar removal cream," Nan Wusi said, not feeling that he had done anything particularly significant.
"This scar removal cream is so effective! It's only been a short time!" Jiang Zhirou was very surprised; the effect was nothing short of miraculous.
“The effect is indeed very good. I’ve only been using it for about a week,” Ouyang Xinxi chimed in from the side.
"Sisi, you really surprised your mother." Jiang Zhirou smiled and looked at Nan Wusi, saying, "Do you still have any? I can give some to your father too."
“That’s all, only that one left.” Nan Wusi shook his head.
"Why don't you just make a new one?" Jiang Zhirou naturally assumed that the scar removal cream was one of the products Nan Wusi was making.
"Mother, I can't do that," Nan Wusi said with difficulty. She couldn't keep buying the limited-edition items that the system shop updated; it all depended on luck.
“Mother, I still have some left from my branch. If you don’t mind, I’ll give it to you,” Ouyang Xinxi said at the opportune moment.
"What are you saying? How could Mother dislike you?" Jiang Zhirou said to Ouyang Xinxi, "Then please send someone to give it to me."
"You're welcome, Mother," Ouyang Xinxi replied with a slight smile.
Just as the group was having a pleasant conversation, Nan Tianba's side achieved victory in the war, and the second prince of Bei Huan became his prisoner.
"General Nan, even if you capture me now, you will release me in a couple of days," the second prince said defiantly.
"That will be in two days, Second Prince, please." After saying that, Nan Tianba ordered his men to lock him up in a separate room.
"General, shouldn't we send someone to interrogate this second prince?" Nan Wufeng asked as he approached Nan Tianba.
“How do you interrogate him? Do you think he’ll talk?” Nan Tianba said. “In a couple of days, the Northern Huan will definitely send someone to sue for peace or negotiate. You can’t torture him. Just wait patiently.”
"Yes." After saying that, Nan Wufeng whispered to Nan Tianba, "Father, if there's nothing else, I'll go back now."
"Go on, you brat," Nan Tianba said with a laugh, not expecting his eldest son to be so attached to home.
"Thank you, Father!" Nan Wufeng hurried away, heading back to the mansion.
"Mother, wife, third sister, I'm back!" When Nan Wufeng returned to the mansion, he saw several women chatting together.
"Did we win?" Jiang Zhirou asked in surprise.
“Yes, the second prince of Bei Huan has been captured by us.” Nan Wufeng nodded. “Father is still in the army dealing with the aftermath.”
"It's good that you won." Jiang Zhirou nodded.
“Husband.” Ouyang Xinxi also looked at Nan Wufeng.
"My wife, your face has recovered?" Nan Wufeng asked in surprise.
"Yes, thanks to Sisi." Ouyang Xinxi said with a gentle smile.
"Thank you, Third Sister." Although Nan Wufeng knew that Ouyang Xinxi was very concerned about her disfigured appearance, even though she never said it, he knew that this was a knot in Ouyang Xinxi's heart.
"You're welcome, we're all family," Nan Wusi said with a smile, feeling much more at ease now.
Two more days passed, and the Northern Huan did indeed send people. This time, it was none other than the eldest prince, Helan Wenjin, and the youngest princess, Helan Wenyue.
"General Nan, we meet again." He Lanwenyue was still the one in charge.
"Princess Helan, Crown Prince, I didn't expect the King of Beihuan to send you here." Nan Tianba was slightly surprised. Although it is said that envoys should not be killed in war, did the King of Beihuan trust him so much? Wasn't he afraid that he would wipe out all the princes of Beihuan?
Helan Wenyue smiled but remained silent. "Where is my second brother now?"
"The second prince is currently being held in solitary confinement." Nan Tianba raised his eyelids slightly; it was impossible for him to release him so easily.
"General Nan, I hope your daughter can participate in this negotiation," Helan Wenyue said.
“Princess Helan, this is against the rules. My daughter never gets involved in these matters.” Nan Tianba frowned, wondering why Helan Wenyue would make such a request.
"General Nan, I only have this one request. You should know that this negotiation might lay the foundation for decades of friendly relations between our two countries." He Lanwenyue's eyes sharpened as she stared intently at Nan Tianba. Since he dared to say this, he must have his reasons.
Upon hearing Helan Wenyue's words, Nan Tianba pondered for a long time before calling his subordinate to him: "Go and inform Deputy General Nan about this matter; he knows what to do."
"Yes, General." After receiving the order, the general immediately spurred his horse forward.
Upon receiving the message, both Nan Wufeng and Nan Wusi were surprised. He Lanwenyue had specifically asked to see Nan Wusi by name. How did he know that Nan Wusi was still here?
However, the two of them immediately followed the general into the military camp.
"Helan Wenyue, do you want to see me?" Nan Wusi frowned as he looked at Helan Wenyue.
"Miss Nan, it's been a long time. Have you missed me?" Helan Wenyue looked at Nan Wusi with a wicked smile. He was still regretting that he hadn't been able to bring Nan Wusi back to Beihuan.
"You didn't come to see me just to say this, did you?" Nan Wusi had no patience to listen to his nonsense.
"I have something very important to discuss with you today," Helan Wenyue finally said seriously, her playful expression vanishing.
