Old Madam Chu couldn't stop smiling; there was hope for this family, great hope indeed!
"When we get back to Datian Village, I'll have the horse team bring the medicinal herbs over," Qiao Lian'er said.
The turmoil in the Pei family has subsided, and Shi Nanfu is coming back.
The supply lines across the country have reopened, and the medicinal herbs will not only be sold to Yuezhou City, but will also be sold to the Daze Kingdom market.
Old Madam Chu seemed unsatisfied, and hesitated to speak.
“Sometimes, I’ll check on things together too,” Qiao Lian’er added.
Madam Chu beamed with joy, hugging and kissing Qiao Lian'er repeatedly. This was the most important thing; it didn't matter if she earned less money.
Several days have passed, and there has been no progress in Chu Laosan's matter.
How long can those favors last? The search team has begun to tire and is gradually reducing its manpower.
Some officials or generals even explicitly stated that they would not look for it anymore, as they should not waste time on such fruitless matters.
The light in Old Master Chu's eyes dimmed. Even though he knew the family business was booming, he only thought it meant eating and dressing better.
The most critical problem hasn't been solved yet.
“We shouldn’t have mentioned Song Laosan.” Qiao Yunni sighed. “Judging from your grandfather’s condition, this is going to become a major worry for him.”
Qiao Lian'er thought about it and realized that she still needed to have a proper talk with her grandfather.
After dinner, she kept the old man company while he drank tea in the living room.
"Grandpa, do you believe me?" Qiao Lian'er asked.
Old Master Chu's expression turned serious, and he immediately put down his cup: "If even Lian'er doesn't believe it, who else can I believe?"
"Grandpa, no one has ever been able to bring me great misfortune or make me fall into a deep pit. I'm not afraid of anyone," Qiao Lian'er said earnestly.
“I have the ability to handle risks, I have the confidence to do so, and I have the experience to do so.”
She spoke each word with a resounding force, carrying an irresistible momentum.
"Those who want to harm me, I will repay them a hundredfold; those who make me suffer even the slightest loss, I will seek revenge a thousandfold."
Old Master Chu was startled. He couldn't help but think of how Lian'er had resolved several crises when they talked about the feud between the Qiao and Song families that day.
Song Laosan is now fleeing to the ends of the earth because he was forced into a corner by Lian'er. He is in a desperate situation.
With this shift in mindset, Old Master Chu immediately felt a sense of clarity and relief from his worries.
"Whether it's a venomous snake lurking in wait or a direct attack from the front, they are all my defeated foe and will be crushed into dust under my feet."
Including this time, the Qiao family in the capital.
"Not only that, I will climb over their corpses to achieve my success. I will sacrifice them for my life's success." Qiao Lian'er clenched her fists, small fists containing great power, her eyes surging with coldness, as if cold mist was rising from millennia-old ice.
Old Master Chu's mouth was slightly open, but he couldn't say a word, only filled with shock and disbelief.
At this moment, my granddaughter seemed to have become a mighty general standing tall in the center of the battlefield, wearing a suit of spiked armor, impervious to swords and spears.
Anyone who dared to rush to her side, whether one or two, or a whole group, was swept to the ground, leaving a river of blood.
With a granddaughter like that, why should he be worried? That's an insult to her!
He, Chu Yanmao, is no longer afraid!
