Jiang Chuyuan was proud in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He explained.
"Have the Emperor issue an iron restriction order. This will make it impossible for Prince Chen to produce a large number of weapons in a short period of time."
"Okay, I'll go to the palace to find the emperor now."
Jiang Weizhen did what he said, but Yu Shulan reached out to stop him.
"You can't go now."
"Why?"
"Father, the Emperor is suddenly asking for a restriction on iron production for no apparent reason. Regardless of whether the Emperor will agree, even if he does, Prince Chen will notice something is amiss."
Jiang Chuyuan looked at his father helplessly, "We need an opportunity."
"But how long do we have to wait? What if King Chen has already stockpiled iron? Then our plan will fail."
Jiang Weizhen frowned. Compared with his son, he felt that his brain was not enough.
"Prince Chen won't make any moves in the short term. Besides, iron is readily available these days. If he suddenly starts hoarding it, it would attract attention. Prince Chen wouldn't do such a foolish thing."
Jiang Chuyuan's eyes were deep, "If there is no such opportunity, then we can create one ourselves."
"Just listen to Chu Yuan. He knows more about this."
Yu Shulan comforted her husband, saying that their family was lucky to have Jiang Chuyuan, otherwise, with her husband and Jiang Dingbei, he would be sold without even knowing it.
Jiang Weizhen also knew his own shortcomings, "Forget it, then let's listen to Chu Yuan."
"But we don't need to rush into these matters. The most important thing right now is Chu Yuan's marriage."
Yu Shulan reminded, "There is still half a month left. This is the top priority for our Jiang Mansion."
"Yes, tomorrow is the first day of the new year. My sister and I have to go to the temple to pray for marriage talismans for my eldest brother and future sister-in-law."
Jiang Dingbei said excitedly, "Wanwan, do you want to go?"
Jiang Qingwan shook her head. No god was worthy of her worship.
She was afraid that if she went there, the temple would be struck by lightning.
Seeing his family so concerned about his marriage, Jiang Chuyuan felt warm in his heart and said shyly, "Thank you."
"The family doesn't say thank you, you just need to live a loving life with your sister-in-law."
Jiang Dingbei has been heartbroken ever since he learned about the hardship his elder brother had in his previous life. He knows that his elder brother has contributed a lot to the family, and his wish is that his elder brother can be happy.
So, when his sister said she wanted to go and ask for a marriage talisman, he volunteered to go with her.
"I heard that the marriage charms from Huguo Temple are the most effective. If you hang them above your bed on your wedding day, you're guaranteed to be in love for the rest of your life."
Yu Shulan looked at Jiang Dingbei with relief, "Then you should go early. I heard that the marriage talisman is very hard to come by. If you go too late, it will be gone."
"Don't worry, my sister and I will definitely be able to get it."
Jiang Dingbei patted his chest and made the promise.
If the abbot doesn't give it to him, he will keep pestering him.
next day
As expected, Jiang Dingbei and Jiang Qingluo went to Huguo Temple early in the morning.
I thought they would come back soon, but by noon there was still no sign of them, and Yu Shulan felt a little uneasy.
Jiang Weizhen comforted him upon seeing this.
"They must have had their meal at the temple. They will be back a little later. Madam, there's no need to be so nervous."
Yu Shulan shook her head. "But Luoluo said she would come back at noon to eat the vegetarian meatballs I made. She won't stay in the temple for lunch. And my heart is pounding. I have a bad feeling."
"Are you too tired from busying yourself with Chu Yuan's wedding recently and not in a good mood? You should go and rest first. I'll tell you when they come back."
"I don't want to rest now. I'd better go out and wait for them."
Yu Shulan said this and walked out. She had never felt so uneasy before.
"Then I'll go with you."
Seeing that he couldn't persuade her, Jiang Weizhen hurriedly followed her out.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw a guard stumbling towards me.
"Madam, Master, something bad has happened."
Seeing him, Yu Shulan's tense nerves completely broke. This guard was sent by her to protect Jiang Qingluo's safety.
"What happened? What happened to Dingbei and Luoluo?"
"We encountered an assassin at the foot of Huguo Temple. The young lady was stabbed and is in imminent danger."
Hearing that she was in imminent danger, Yu Shulan almost fell down. Jiang Weizhen quickly supported her and replied in a stern voice, "Where is Luo Luo now?"
"In the clinic, the young master took the young lady directly to the clinic."
"Quick, take us there."
Yu Shulan held on to her body and ran forward.
When they arrived at the clinic, they saw Jiang Dingbei covered in blood, squatting on the ground in dejection.
"Dingbei, where's Luoluo?"
"Dad, Mom."
Jiang Dingbei looked up and looked at them helplessly, his whole body shaking uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry, I didn't protect my sister well. It's all my fault, it's all my fault."
As he said this, he slapped himself in the face. If he hadn't been playful and chased a hare, his sister wouldn't have suffered this disaster.
"It's all my fault."
"How's Lolo?" Yu Shulan stepped forward, grabbed his hand, and growled.
Jiang Dingbei shook his head and said in a trembling voice, "I don't know. The doctor is treating him inside."
Hearing that the patient was being treated, Yu Shulan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he could be saved, that was enough.
"It will be fine. God bless you, it will be fine."
"Lolo will be safe."
Jiang Weizhen's eyes were red. Even on the battlefield, he had never been so panicked.
The three of them paced back and forth outside anxiously, praying non-stop.
"Dad and Mom, Dingbei."
Jiang Chuyuan received the news and rushed over.
"Chu Yuan."
Seeing him, Yu Shulan couldn't help crying out loud. She was really too scared.
Just then, the doctor came out.
"Doctor, how is it?"
"Is my sister okay?"
"General Jiang, Madam, Miss Jiang..." The doctor shook his head, "She has injured her internal organs. I can't do anything for her."
"What, Lolo."
Yu Shulan pushed the doctor away and ran into the room in a panic. She saw Jiang Qingluo lying on the bed, covered in blood, with a pale face and unconscious.
"Lolo, how could Luo Luo be like this?"
Everything has changed, so why did her daughter leave her?
"Lolo, wake up and look at your mother."
Yu Shulan was crying so hard that she was out of breath. She didn't know how to wake her daughter up.
Jiang Weizhen kept begging the doctor, hoping that he would go and treat him again.
Jiang Weiyan fell to the ground, utterly distraught.
The only one who could still think was Jiang Chuyuan. He stepped forward and grabbed Yu Shulan.
"Mom, where's Wanwan?"
"She's at home, I..." Suddenly Yu Shulan's eyes lit up, "Yes, Wanwan she..."
Before she could finish her words, Jiang Chuyuan interrupted her, "It's good that Wanwan is home, mother. Luo Luo is still breathing. You take her home first. I will go to the palace and ask the prince to send the chief physician to treat Luo Luo. The chief physician will definitely find a way."
