"I'm too lazy to talk to you anymore." Wu Lingxiu rolled her eyes at Zhou Jie: "Grandpa, Grandma, I'm going back to look in the mirror."
She had no idea what this disfigurement pill would do to her face. She was worried her child wouldn't recognize her anymore. That would be so awkward.
"Second sister, don't worry. This basic disfigurement pill won't take effect too quickly. And there's no need to immediately reject their invitation. It's not too late to talk about it tomorrow."
Han Luoxue smiled, though she herself wanted to take a pill. However, she knew everyone would object, as she was now a mother.
"Second sister, I can assure you that this stuff has absolutely no side effects. No matter what your face looks like, it's only temporary, and it will be fine in seven or eight days."
Fearing that the two would worry, Han Luoxue patiently explained it again.
"Exactly, you don't trust Xue's things?"
The old general glared fiercely at Wu Lingxiu. Many people longed for this food but couldn't get it, and his foolish granddaughter dared to complain.
"Grandpa, I..."
Wu Lingxiu didn't really doubt Han Luoxue; she just didn't want to become ugly. Whatever the reason, girls are naturally more concerned with their appearance.
"Alright, then we won't go to the banquet. You two are disfigured, so you should rest at home for a few days. Oh, and Xue'er..."
The old general looked at Han Luoxue, his smile becoming even more amiable: "How long do you plan to stay here? Why don't you spend the New Year here?"
It's said that once a daughter is married, she's like water spilled from a cup. Han Luoxue is Han Yuchen's wife, so it's understandable that she spends the New Year at his house.
"Grandpa, let's forget about it."
Han Luoxue was actually somewhat tempted. Although her father kept saying he wanted a son-in-law who would live with the family, she knew in her heart that Han Yuchen could never really become a son-in-law who would live with the family.
This is her first New Year since she transmigrated, and she still wants to be with her parents.
Besides, they've been away from home for so long, they don't know how things are at home now.
She should be fine, since she can still contact her family.
Her parents hadn't mentioned anything wrong at home, and the village head was taking good care of them. She'd also kept the Han family in line. Besides, her parents weren't exactly innocent pushovers, so they should be fine, right?
Han Luoxue was actually quite relieved, especially by her younger sister, Han Luoyu, whose recent behavior had been extremely impressive. She was quick to attack without warning, incredibly fierce, and simply formidable.
Thinking of her family, Han Luoxue's expression softened considerably.
The old general looked at Han Luoxue, whose smile was genuine, and sighed, "Then next year, next year you must come back, and you must spend the New Year in the capital."
Han Luoxue nodded, "We'll see how things go next year."
Han Yuchen remained silent. What could the old general say when he saw his grandson like this?
"You're such a pitiful child. Xue'er, come back as soon as the New Year is over. The doctors in the capital are highly skilled, and we can take care of you here too."
The old lady's biggest worry was Han Yuchen. By extension, she was also worried about Han Luoxue.
"Okay, Grandma." Han Luoxue obediently replied, wondering if her parents would let her come out again this time.
It seems a bit risky. Besides, she's going to build a farm on the land she bought.
She wondered how things were going with the construction at home. When she went back this time, she planned to set up the farm, hire some villagers, and solve the employment problem for many people.
Han Luoxue glanced at the little creatures in the space; there were quite a few.
However, only she can raise it; if it were someone else, it would have become a delicacy in their mouths long ago.
These days, people can't even get enough to eat, so how many people would be willing to raise livestock?
In other words, she had everything she needed to support so many livestock.
However, livestock are quite valuable nowadays, and there aren't many animals left in the capital that can be slaughtered.
Now her grains, vegetables, livestock, and fruits are all supplied to the palace on time. Her monthly income from this alone is quite substantial.
"As soon as possible, pin the grain issue on Fengyun Pavilion. Make everyone believe it."
The old general knew that the Crown Prince was looking for Han Yuchen and the others, and he didn't want the two of them to take another risk. As for the Crown Prince's attempt to abduct the bride, the news had already spread throughout the capital.
It seems unlikely that she would dare to lay a hand on Han Yuchen anytime soon.
For a prince to murder a woman's husband is a disgrace. Fortunately, she's not one to be so shameless.
...
"Ah, no! It still hurts!"
In Hutouya Village, Han Mingyuan lay on his bed, unable to stop himself from calling out.
Doctor Xu examined him again, set the bone, and treated the external injury once more.
After all that work, most of the day had passed. Han Mingyuan had fainted several times, but he gritted his teeth and woke up each time.
Han Luoyu watched from the side, tears streaming down her face. Yunniang was also crying her eyes out. Only the youngest, Han Mengze, stared at Wu Mengmeng's big eyes, looking at his father who was grimacing in pain, and then at his mother and sister who were crying their eyes out, with a troubled expression on his face.
He was too young to know what had happened at home.
"Han Mingyuan, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I didn't handle things at home well."
Han Qiang slapped his face in self-reproach.
At this moment, Han Mingyuan was in too much pain to pay attention to her.
"Dr. Xu, is my leg alright?"
Han Mingyuan also felt a little regretful; he shouldn't have gone to help. He had solemnly promised my daughter that he would protect himself and his family.
But now, he's made himself into this state.
"It's probably very difficult. The bones are shattered into pieces. Although I can temporarily set them, a complete recovery is almost impossible."
"Oh no, what should we do?" Yunniang was at a loss for what to do, and all she could do now was cry.
She didn't know what else she could do besides cry.
"Father, you, how could you..."
Han Luoyu was also sobbing; she hadn't expected her father to be so badly injured.
The girl was not yet 15 years old. Although she had been learning medicine from Master Xu for some time, her skill level was still limited.
Furthermore, this was her own father, and when the little girl saw him covered in blood and unconscious, she was completely terrified.
Han Mengze probably sensed the adults' anxiety, and at this moment she also started to sob.
In an instant, the sound of weeping filled Han Mingyuan's house.
Outside Han Mingyuan's courtyard, a large crowd had gathered. Most of them looked worried, while a few were gloating.
"Serves you right, you heartless bastard. You knew the sweet potato vines you planted were no good, but you didn't tell us."
"Exactly! What did we do? What's wrong with the villagers giving us some seeds?"
"It's truly a blessing from heaven that you're heartless and disregard the lives of your fellow villagers. You deserve it!"
...
While some people were criticizing Han Mingyuan's family, many more stood up to speak for them.
"Don't you feel any remorse saying that? Wasn't Han Mingyuan's family the first to not give you sweet potato vines?"
