Liu Zizai shrugged. "Desolate and isolated, lacking in resources and sparsely populated, what could I possibly do in the past?"
He was mentally prepared to eat wild grass.
Liu Yuguan patted his head and said, "Make up for what's missing. If you can do even a little bit, that's considered a success."
Liu Zizai paused, seemingly lost in thought.
Zhang Zhong entered Zhang Rengui's study for the first time.
“Grandfather.” He bowed respectfully, his manner reserved and cautious.
Zhang Rengui waved his hand dismissively, "No need for such formalities, come and sit down."
Zhang Zhong carefully sat down on one side, waiting for his grandfather to speak.
Zhang Rengui paused before saying, "Xizhou is adjacent to Zhongzhou, so we can't stand out too much and cause any unsightly incidents. Just behave properly, understand?"
"I understand."
"Okay, remember to contact home if anything happens."
Zhang Zhong nodded.
Zhang Rengui concluded, "Your eldest brother has been depressed since his injury. Grandfather wants him to go out with you so that you two brothers can look after each other."
Zhang Zhong's fingertips trembled, like a young tiger trapped in a cage. In the end, fearing reality, he chose to endure. "Yes, I will take good care of my elder brother."
Zhang Rengui smiled and said, "That's good."
Meanwhile, Zhao Xi met Feng Liyan and Feng Min at the Princess's residence.
Zhao Xi's expression was indifferent. "Father, Fourth Brother."
Feng Liyan nodded and said directly, "You only have one thing to do in Suzhou: keep an eye on the Zhao family girl and Xiong Chumo."
Zhao Xi smirked, "My daughter is not capable enough to handle her father's affairs."
Feng Liyan said angrily, "Are you still arguing with your father?"
Zhao Xi lowered his head and remained silent.
Feng Liyan frowned and paced back and forth. "You have to agree to this whether you like it or not. Think about your mother."
Zhao Xi clenched the handkerchief in her hand and sneered, "Father doesn't need to use Mother to control his daughter. I agree to your request."
Feng Liyan softened his tone, "I will also arrange for your fourth brother to take up a post in Suzhou. You two siblings can help your uncle well when you get there."
Zhao Xi glanced at Feng Min, his face expressionless, and asked, "Where is Fifth Brother?"
Is this a preemptive move to find a way out?
Feng Liyan said, "He is the eldest son and must stay in Shengjing."
For quality.
After seeing the two off, Zhao Xi bit her handkerchief and roared silently. She dared not make a sound, letting her tears wet her cheeks.
At the Mu family home, Madam Mu packed Mu Wan's luggage with a stern face.
Mu Wan followed obediently behind, feeling deeply apologetic.
My father, brothers, and uncles are all in Xining Pass, and now I've gone too. My mother and aunt are left to guard the huge Mu Mansion, which is heartbreaking.
"Mother, why don't you and Aunt go back to your hometown to keep Grandmother and the others company?" The younger grandchildren of the Mu family are all in their hometown.
"No, we'll stay here and wait for you to come back." As soon as Madam Mu said these words in a fit of pique, tears streamed down her face.
Mu Wan choked with embarrassment.
Xiao Zhixing had just seen everyone else saying goodbye to their families when he realized it was his turn.
"You're going to travel the world?"
