Chapter 908 Princess Huayang is really good at calculating
Cao Zhicheng immediately pulled out a token from his bosom and respectfully presented it with both hands. "Your Highness, I am also following the orders of Her Royal Highness the Princess to temporarily mobilize 60 soldiers from the city defense to bring His Royal Highness Prince Jin and Princess Yong'an back to the capital."
Xi Lin stood up first, stretched, and said, "I'm sorry, Princess Huayang is really good at predicting things. She actually predicted that we two would be able to find the prince today."
He turned his head to look at Mo Jinchuan, and asked with a forced smile: "Your Highness, do you think what I said makes sense?"
Cao Zhicheng frowned and couldn't help but say, "Although Divine Doctor Xi is a man of the martial arts world, he shouldn't be disrespectful to Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"Tsk." Xi Lin chuckled, "Look at what I just said. My calculations were really accurate."
Realizing he had been tricked, Cao Zhicheng's eyes showed annoyance. He said respectfully, "Your Highness, please accompany me back to the capital."
Not getting a response, he mustered up the courage to raise his head and meet Mo Jinchuan's cold black eyes. "I am conveying the message from Her Royal Highness the Princess. Your Majesty is ill. Please return to the capital as soon as possible."

"Mom!" Wang Xian'er opened her eyes and couldn't help crying out loud when she saw Cao Xianglan.
She cried and said aggrievedly: "Mom, you are finally back. My husband was taken away by that vixen!"
Cao Xianglan stroked her head and said softly, "Xian'er, Doctor Song is not a vixen. She is the Princess Yong'an who saved the border town in the legend."
Wang Xian'er blurted out, "How is that possible? How could Princess Yong'an be a vixen?"
She thought of the words she heard while half asleep and half awake, and cried even harder, "Wow, mother, I could have become Princess Jin."
Cao Xianglan frowned and couldn't help asking her, "Xian'er, do you really think you are worthy of His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
Wang Xian'er's eyes flashed, "My father said that since I'm so beautiful, I can marry the county magistrate."
Thinking of something, she quickly shook Cao Xianglan's hand and said, "Mom, please talk to my father and ask him to call the prince back quickly."
As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly, "When I become a princess, I will take you and dad to the capital to live a good life. Our family will no longer have to stay in this small place."
Cao Xianglan's expression gradually turned cold, and she withdrew her hand and said, "You can't be a princess."
Upon hearing this, Wang Xian'er pursed her lips and started to cry.
"Suppress it!" Cao Xianglan's face darkened as she said coldly, "From now on, you only have your mother and no father. Don't let me hear you mention that person again."
Wang Xian'er was stunned and asked blankly, "Mom, what do you mean when you say I don't have a father?"
Cao Xianglan turned around to pack her things. As her back was turned, she wiped away her tears and said, "Xian'er, from now on, it'll be just the two of us living together."
Without waiting for Wang Xian'er to ask, she said directly: "Mother will give you two choices. Follow me to leave Dawangzhuang and start a new life somewhere where no one knows you.
Or, stay here and be your uncle and aunt's daughter."
Thinking of the face of Wang's sister-in-law, Wang Xian'er hurriedly shook her head and said, "I want to follow my mother."
She hurriedly crawled towards the cabinet where she hid her valuables, muttering, "Even if we leave, we have to pack up everything and leave nothing for that stinky Yaozu."
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She couldn't help but curse, "He's as fat as a pig, and he actually has the nerve to say I'm ugly and even tells everyone that I can't get married and stay at home."
As Wang Xian'er spoke, she paid attention to Cao Xianglan's expression and found it strange that she was not angry at all.
In the past, when her mother heard such words, she would definitely pinch her waist and scold her, and then go to her uncle's house to say a few more sarcastic words, which made her aunt so angry that she could only stare at him speechless.
What happened to her today?
Noticing her gaze, Cao Xianglan paused while packing her things and said in a deep voice, "I won't see them again anyway, so I won't bother with them."
Wang Xian'er gritted her teeth when she heard this and said, "Mom, if we leave, won't our house and land just go to Wang Yaozu?"
Cao Xianglan looked at her with a serious look, "Don't worry, they can't take anything away."
Half an hour later, a carriage slowly left Dawangzhuang.
After a while, someone shouted, "Quick, the headman's house is on fire!"
"Oh my God, the fire is so big, haven't the village head and his family of three come out yet?"
"Don't just stand there, get some water and save people!"
"Go and call Youren's family quickly. I'm afraid it's impossible to save such a big fire man. We need to call them quickly."
Not long after, Wang Youren and his wife, both with bruised faces and noses, came over, supporting each other.
Wang's sister-in-law's leg was injured and she walked with a limp. She wished she could hang on Wang Youren.
Wang Youren also had an injury on his back. He walked while baring his teeth and cursing, "You black-hearted woman, you're going to torture me to death sooner or later!"
Hearing this, Wang's sister-in-law said without hesitation: "If I hadn't married into your Wang family, I might have married that scholar from Xiaowangzhuang and become his wife.
Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly, so that the money hidden by Youde and his wife won't be stolen."
Upon hearing this, Wang Youren no longer cared about the pain and almost dragged his wife forward quickly.
The people who were busy fighting the fire saw them coming and hurriedly said, "Youren, such a big fire is really hard to put out. You should prepare for the funeral."
The couple looked at each other and almost laughed out loud.
If the fire cannot be extinguished, it means that it is impossible for people to get out of it intact.
If something happens to their family of three, won't the house, the land, and the family money all be theirs?
Wang's sister-in-law's eyes sparkled, and she hurriedly said, "Please work harder, don't burn down the beams of my house!"
The house and the walls were made of blue bricks and gray tiles, so it wouldn't be a big deal if they burned, but the beams and pillars in the house were all bought by Youde at a high price.
Although their family will definitely not be short of money in the future, who would think that having too much money is a waste?
Of course, we should not spend this unnecessary money if we can, as we still have to use it to marry off our three sons in the future!
The people from the same village who came to help couldn't help but curl their lips when they heard this, and cursed softly: "These two people are so cruel. Instead of rushing to save people, they worry about two broken pieces of wood."
The Wang family members couldn't stand it any longer either. They threw the wooden basin in their hands and said, "We can't save the people anyway, so why are we still wasting our time?"
Now that everyone in the family had spoken, the villagers, who were busy and sweating profusely, were overjoyed. They put down their pots and pans and turned around to leave.
Mrs. Wang suddenly became anxious. She limped over, picked up half a basin of water on the ground, and rushed into the yard to put out the fire.
Seeing this, Wang Youren quickly grabbed the basin of water brought by his fellow villager and rushed in.
Uncle Wang, who rushed over after receiving the news, tapped his cane and said, "This couple, they want money more than their lives!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two screams from inside.
The villagers rushed in despite the fire and found that the couple had been hit by the burning beam and had fainted.
The second uncle glanced at Wang Yaozu, who was watching coldly, and sighed, "It's karma, it's all karma."
