Jiang Chao didn't want to agree even once, but if he refused, he would be suspected of murder.
Although he suspected that Wang was faking her illness, he also felt that even if she was truly ill, she couldn't blame anyone else.
But this is something that really can't be taken lightly.
"One time is enough!"
Huang Chuan wasn't ungrateful; he knew his family was genuinely impatient this time, so he didn't dare to push his luck any further.
Although she didn't show it on her face, she was no less apprehensive than Wang.
He truly never imagined that because of a jade pendant, he would lose his title and that he and his wife would be exiled to the mountains to live.
In just a short while, I felt that all the things I relied on had been completely lost.
Jiang Chao nodded, turned and left, not forgetting to warn before he left, "Stay put and don't think about anything else. There are guards at every intersection; you can't escape."
"Keep the silver and silver notes safe," Huang Xiaosan said, tossing a bundle over. "These are things I got in exchange for a title. Here's something to keep as a memento."
This is a good opportunity to experience what it means to have money but nowhere to spend it.
He didn't believe that the eldest brother would still be as greedy for money as before.
After saying this, the three of them went down the mountain together, leaving Old Huang and his wife standing blankly in the thatched hut, looking at each other in bewilderment.
"Husband, are we really going to stay here to observe mourning?"
“Yes, there’s no turning back now,” Huang Laoda said heavily. “Unless Mother agrees, we can’t go down the mountain.”
Upon hearing this, Wang's spirits plummeted.
She felt completely unable to adapt to her current life.
Without servants to wait on them, they had to do everything themselves, even finding their own food and drink, and managing all sorts of household chores. It was truly a tough life.
Actually, life in the mountains is easier than in Huangjiakou; it's not as scary as you might imagine.
There's no need to worry about corvée labor and taxes; self-sufficiency is enough. With Huang Chuan as a strong laborer, the pressure isn't too great.
Wang pampered herself, which is why she felt uncomfortable and out of place.
She pursed her lips and complained softly and resentfully, "There's nothing here, how are we supposed to live?"
"Pots, pans, farm tools, and bedding have all been prepared, all new, and we are better off than most families in Huangjiakou."
At this point, Old Master Huang roughly figured out his family's intentions.
Rather than a punishment, it was more like a way to truly understand oneself.
He was just an ordinary farm boy, and everything he had now was thanks to his family's protection. Without his family, he was nothing.
They have absolutely no right to act recklessly and challenge the bottom line of their family time and time again.
After all the twists and turns, we still have to farm!
"This is not enough!"
In the past, she would have been very satisfied. Having seen all sorts of good things, Wang Shi looked down on what was in front of her.
"Whether it's enough or not, you have to accept it," Huang Chuan said coldly. "If you can't stand it, I'll write you a letter of divorce right now."
The person with the least right to complain is his wife. Everything started because of her. If she can't accept the outcome, why should he suffer with her?
Huang Chuan knew that Wang had done many wrong things, but those things did not affect him too much and were all within his tolerance range.
This time, however, really provoked him quite a bit.
The fall from lord to farmer is too great to bear.
Upon hearing this, Wang immediately shut her mouth and said no more.
Her family had already declared they wouldn't help her, and if she were truly divorced, she would have no choice but to become a nun.
Although she only stayed for half a day, she could tell that the people in the nunnery were not easy to get along with.
Jiang Nuan didn't care about the couple's thoughts. She believed that her methods were gentle enough and that she hadn't deliberately made things difficult for the couple. She simply wanted them to return to their previous lives and glorify themselves through labor.
After spending two days taking good care of the horse, Jiang Nuan delivered it to Old Master Huang, saying, "This horse is very intelligent; remember to treat it well."
Actually, Jiang Nuan thinks it's better to use Xiao Liu, as it can tank, heal, and deal damage, and its power is no less than that of a small tank.
However, it feels very, very strange for a group of people to be riding horses and suddenly have an extra cow. They might even laugh themselves to death before they even see the enemy.
"Why does this look so familiar?"
Huang Lao Er looked at the horse, which was entirely chestnut brown with a tuft of white hair on its forehead, with a puzzled expression. It seemed quite familiar to him.
"The horse you usually ride has been treated with a secret method and is now stronger than before."
More than just robust, he's completely transformed.
The horse he usually rode wasn't bad either; it was a top-quality Hequ horse with good stamina and endurance, but it lacked explosive power and its appearance wasn't particularly outstanding, with a messy coat and uneven chestnut color.
Unlike the one in front of me, which has a sleek body and smooth fur, this one exudes power and spirituality in a single glance.
"Is this really Ah Dai?" Huang Lao Er covered his mouth in shock.
The changes were so drastic that he couldn't recognize him.
"You'll know once you try it," Jiang Nuan said, not wanting to say more. "You should get used to it. I'm going to do other things."
After saying that, he turned and left.
After Jiang Nuan left, Huang Lao Er, like a lovesick fool, stroked the horse from head to tail until it couldn't stand being kicked anymore, and then reluctantly let go.
Then, he leaped onto his horse and shouted, "Hey, let's go!"
With a flick of the whip, the man and his horse galloped swiftly forward.
On the other side, Jiang Nuan, who originally wanted to ask Steward Cao about the situation in the capital, was stopped by Doctor Gu halfway.
"Lady Jiang, please wait."
"Dr. Gu, what is it?"
"When I went up the mountain to examine the pulses of Mr. and Mrs. Huang Chuan, I discovered some strange things, and I have come to tell you about them."
"Hmm?" Jiang Nuanxin asked in confusion, "What's strange about it?"
"It seems that there is something unusual about Wang's dantian."
"Something wrong with your dantian?" Jiang Nuan asked tentatively. "Could it be your stomach?"
"I have a vague feeling that there is something in my abdomen," Doctor Gu said, "but it's not really there."
"What's the best way to handle this?"
"Abstaining from irritability and anger, cultivating one's mind and character, and supplemented with herbal medicine can temporarily suppress the symptoms."
However, Wang's pent-up emotions were not conducive to her recovery.
"Have you told them, the couple?"
"I only hinted at it," Doctor Gu frowned, expressing his concerns. "I only vaguely sensed it myself; I'm not entirely sure."
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Nuan said directly, "Let's ignore it for now and wait and see."
After realizing that her headache was fake, Jiang Nuan's dislike for Wang Shi intensified, but she didn't want to meddle in other people's business.
"I understand."
After Doctor Gu left, Jiang Nuan frowned deeply.
She felt she had really overestimated the integrity of her eldest son and his wife; they were both incredibly troublesome and had no bottom line whatsoever.
After thinking for a moment, he turned around and walked towards the children's yard to see how Da Niu and the others were doing.
When Jiang Nuan arrived, the courtyard was bustling with activity.
Da Niu, Er Niu, Da Ya, and Er Ya sat in a row, with Grandma Jiang standing at the front, holding a rattan cane, teaching the children to recite their lessons word by word.
However, after listening for a short while, Jiang Nuan's expression became subtle. "Mother, why are you telling them these things?"
