Chapter 232



"Who?!" Wang Xuran jumped to the side with a look of vigilance on his face. He turned around and found that it was Wang Sirou, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh! Sister, what are you doing? You scared me to death! I thought... "

"Who is it? Is it that Sheng San was reluctant to leave and sneaked out to say goodbye to you?!" Wang Sirou interrupted, trying not to laugh.

"Sister, what did you say?!" Wang Xuran's face turned red.

"Oh... so my little sister hates Sheng San..." Wang Sirou's tone was drawn out. "Then what were you looking at while lying on the top of the city wall?!"

"Of course it's to confirm whether that brat has been pissed off to death!" Wang Xuran replied with his neck stiff.

"That brat is simply despicable! He is always unreasonable! I had a quarrel with him yesterday, and I was so angry that my liver, lungs and kidneys ached. I tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. Now I see that he is still full of energy, like nothing happened, which makes me even angrier!"

"If I hadn't made a bet before, he would be a puppy if we met again. I really want to beat him up!" Wang Xuran was so angry that his cheeks were puffy.

Wang Sirou laughed, "Puppies... I think puppies are cute. Much cuter than some people."

"Alright, since you guys insist on not talking to each other anymore, I'll just leave it to you. I don't have that much time to bother with you. We owe the Sheng family a huge favor this time. The things I prepared for them before are probably enough for them to live for half a month."

"The weather is unusually cold now, and they are accompanied by several thousand secret guards. They have just arrived in the North, so they must be unprepared for many things. We just purchased a large amount of winter clothes, swords, and daily necessities for the royal guards a few days ago."

"Also, I ordered a lot of toys for Baoer not long ago. Now that he hasn't come out yet, I might as well give them all to Xiao Xier to play with. It won't be too late for me to order another batch for Baoer later."

"However, to transport so much cargo, we would probably need dozens of carriages. Such a large convoy of carriages would be very conspicuous on the road and would easily attract attention."

Wang Sirou stole a glance at Wang Xuran and sighed deliberately.

"Hey... I still have to think carefully about whether to send someone to escort this batch of goods north. Otherwise, I can send Ye Zhao. After all, he is the person I trust the most."

"No!" Wang Xuran immediately refused.

"Sister, the situation in the northwest is uncertain right now, and there are potential crises everywhere. You're going to give birth in a few months, why are you sending your personal guards out at this time?!"

"Really? What else should I do?" Wang Sirou pretended to think.

"Then let the deputy commander of the personal guard go. Commander Liu followed us to fight the enemy in Huangsha Fort. Although he was injured, he will probably recover after a few days of rest."

"If we are unlucky enough to encounter robbers on the road, and Commander Liu is defeated and all his things are stolen, I will have to consider myself unlucky. Who made my Wang family so weak that we can't find anyone to use?"

"After all, I have tried my best. If those dozens of truckloads of supplies are not delivered to the Sheng family, there will be nothing I can do. I sincerely pray that they can survive this winter smoothly..."

Wang Sirou's tone was full of sadness, and Wang Xuran felt inexplicably depressed after hearing it.

My brain automatically filled in that after the Sheng family's property was confiscated, they lived a hard life, tightening their belts and shivering in the cold in the north. I blurted out:

"Sister, I'll take it over for you! Just let me go, I'll be careful. I'll send a team of stealth guards to follow you, and there will be no problem!"

“Ah…?” Wang Sirou tried to hold back her laughter and acted embarrassed on purpose.

"Little sister, don't you hate that kid Sheng San? There's no need to run all the way to deliver things to your enemy just because I went against your will. Besides, you just made a bet with him, and if you meet him again, he'll be your dog..."

"Humph! Although I have a grudge against that brat, I don't deny the kindness the Sheng family has shown us. And Xiao Xi'er is such a lovely girl, she makes people happy just by looking at her. How could I get angry with others because of that brat and make the supplies that were originally intended for them unprotected?"

Wang Xuran seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Yes! I'm just worried that little Xi'er might not have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, so why should I care about that stinky boy Sheng San! When the time comes, I just need to hand over the things to the fifth son of the Sheng family, and then play with little Xi'er for a few days. I can just avoid Sheng Yichen the whole time, right?!"

"If that brat hadn't had the eyes to bump into me, he would have broken the contract and would have to be my grandson from now on!"

The more Wang Xuran thought about it, the more excited he became, as if a new world had suddenly opened up to him.

"That's right! Sister, we were in such a hurry when we were preparing things this morning that I didn't have time to put a lot of things in! This is a good opportunity to send them supplies, and I'll also prepare a lot of gifts for Xiao Xier!"

Wang Xuran's heart melted when she thought of the cute little baby from the Sheng family. She had an inexplicable urge to pile all the delicious and fun things in front of her.

"There is a shop called Li's in the East Market that specializes in selling cloth dolls. Not long ago, I passed by and saw that their cloth tigers had a mechanism installed. The two eyes would move continuously with the movements of the person. This must be arranged for Xiao Xier!"

"The rattles, wooden horses, and bamboo cats sold at the art stand next to it are also very exquisite, just right for little Xi'er's age to play with. We have to arrange for them too!"

"Oh, and there's also the clothing store on the main street of the West Market! I was shopping a few days ago and happened to see Qiyun Pavilion with a lot of new products. Now that I think about it, aren't those fox fur capes and brocade short jackets in the Dong family's collection just right for little Xier?!"

Who can resist a soft little glutinous rice ball?

Wang Xuran's eyes lit up when she thought of those exquisite clothes and skirts worn on Xiao Xi'er, making her originally tender face even cuter. She picked up the charcoal pencil and paper she brought with her and began to record the things she was going to buy.

"Well... Little Xi'er is still so young, she must be very picky about food. Transportation in the North is inconvenient, and I'm afraid there are many things that can't be bought. It's better to prepare some and bring them with you this time. As for Little Xi'er's third brother... Humph! It's good enough to have some leftovers!"

"By the way, I heard that Sheng Yichen loves fighting chickens and running dogs, and he collected a lot of strange things before, but they all disappeared on the eve of the house raid?!"

Thinking of this, Wang Xuran couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahaha - OK, I love collecting these things too! Before, I didn't dare to say that my collection was bigger than his. Now that brat's house has been emptied out, how can he compare to me?"

She suddenly remembered that Fengle Building had held a large auction a few months ago, where she bought a top-quality cricket for a high price of 1,000 taels.

Afterwards she found out that the person who had been competing with her was sent by Sheng San.

She had always cherished the cricket and thought of many ways to keep it warm, so that it could still be full of energy even in the winter.

Now that she finally got the chance, she had to show off in front of Sheng Yichen and get revenge for the wrath she got from yesterday? !

The more Wang Xuran thought about it, the happier he became. He laughed uncontrollably while holding onto the city wall.

"Hahaha - Sister, I've got a good idea! When I get to the North, I'll have people spread the word that there's a mysterious person secretly selling top-quality flowers, birds, fish, insects and all kinds of rare stuff at low prices! It's said that a person's nature cannot be changed, but his character can change. When that kid finds out, he'll definitely be eager to find a family to be my grandson!"

"In that case, I must bring the jasper cricket pot and bird cage that I asked the carving master Jiang Xuanzi to make last year. I must also bring a pair of white jade colored glass balls made by Jiang Xuanzi! I will give one to Xiao Xier and use the other to lure Sheng San! I must give enough bait, or I won't be afraid that the fish will not be caught!"

"Oh! Sister, now that you mention it, I have too many things to pack. I'm going to go back and pack my things first, you can come back slowly by yourself!"
