"He has no way out long ago. Neither I nor the former Crown Prince will let him go."
After dealing with all these matters, Ji Xuan was quite tired, and her voice lowered, "He was somewhat clever enough to know how to commit suicide."
Otherwise, I will surely make him wish he were dead!
Ji Xuan had long since reached her limit, having witnessed Ji Xuan's unbridled antics and constant plots to assassinate Ji Xuan.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After showering Ji Xuan with flattery, Qi Yong reluctantly left upon seeing Ji Xuan's tired face.
Finally, Wu Yuan was captured, and a weight was lifted from my heart.
The next day, as soon as Huang Xiaosan opened the front gate, he was stopped by Commander Fang. "Huang Lin, I have received notice that we must retreat today."
"You're leaving?"
"Yes," Fang Qianhu patted his arm, "Don't be reluctant to part with me. When you go to the capital, I will host a welcome dinner for you."
Huang Xiaosan, who was originally very excited, suddenly felt a little guilty after hearing this. "I am very grateful for Brother Fang's guidance these past two days."
Although I got beaten a lot, I learned things thoroughly; it was a painful but joyful experience.
"You have already learned the etiquette for worship and daily life. There are some less common ones, and I will arrange for someone to come and teach you in a few days."
"Thank you, Brother Fang," Huang Xiaosan said, genuinely reluctant to leave. "When are you leaving? Will you come again?"
"At Chenshi (7-9 AM), Meiyu and Qinshi also left together."
"Oh, I'll tell you when I get back, and I'll also prepare some things for you."
After saying this, Huang Xiaosan left immediately.
The family was overjoyed when they learned that Commander Fang was leaving.
“Mother,” Xie Shi gripped Jiang Nuan’s arm tightly, “we can finally go out.”
Actually, I haven't left the house for two days, it's nothing serious.
However, being willing to stay at home and being locked up at home by others are two completely opposite experiences.
“Yes,” Jiang Nuan smiled as well, “After we see Commander Fang off, we’ll go to the estate.”
"Mother, do you still have that kind of wine from Juquanlou? I want to send a jar to Brother Fang." Huang Xiaosan explained, "Brother Fang is a bit serious, but he is sincere. We've been very grateful to him these past two days."
“They’re all buried in the backyard. You can dig them up yourself in a bit,” Jiang Nuan turned to Wang Shi and instructed, “Tell Mei Yu and Qin Shi to pack their things.”
"Finally gone," the old lady said happily. "Let's have dumplings today. The scallions in the backyard are fresh and just right for dumpling filling."
She truly disliked the Qin family.
Hearing that Qin was leaving, I felt a sense of relief, both physically and mentally.
“Okay, this is quick, and it will also allow Commander Fang and the others to have a taste,” Jiang Nuan said with a smile. “They say dumplings are a welcome gift when people leave home, so let’s treat them as a farewell gift.”
Because the people who were guarding the house were leaving, the atmosphere in the Huang family became relaxed. The whole family worked together happily, wrapping and cooking, and finally managed to give the departing group a hot meal.
As they got further and further away from the Huang family, a soldier beside Commander Fang spoke up, "Sir, next time there's a mission related to the Huang family, I will definitely try to take it."
He feels like he's gained weight from all the food he's eaten these past two days.
"You little rascal, you're eyeing the Huang family's food, aren't you?" another person laughed out loud.
“Don’t blame me,” the soldier smacked his lips, as if savoring something. “In just two days, we’ve eaten everything from chicken and duck to fish, as well as mutton, donkey meat, venison, and roe deer. We even had a little bit of beef. It’s much better than the food at the Imperial Guards.”
The Imperial Guards could eat meat, but not at every meal. They could only eat it once every other day, and it was always pork with a strong, unpleasant smell. Their daily meals consisted of mixed grain rice and steamed buns made from coarse flour. They never had mung bean soup, red date and white fungus soup, or anything like that.
Just thinking about it makes my stomach, which I just ate, rumble again.
"This is prepared according to His Majesty's allotted allowance. If you want to wait for next time, please be patient!"
After saying this, Commander Fang raised his whip and spurred his horse to gallop away.
After seeing Fang Qianhu off, the Huang family split up and acted according to their previous plan.
Madam Xie prepared many odds and ends, changed into a new lotus-green dress, and carefully dressed herself up before stepping out of the room.
“Mother,” Xie said, waving two large food boxes in her hands, “let’s go.”
"Second sister-in-law looks so beautiful today," Jin said sourly. "Her breasts and waist are truly enviable."
After saying that, she glanced at her chest and immediately felt wronged.
When will she grow up to be as old as her second sister-in-law, or even as old as her eldest sister-in-law?
“You’re still young,” Xie said, placing the food box on the oxcart. She happened to hear this and immediately covered her mouth and laughed. “You’ll have more later.”
Cough cough...
Jiang Nuan found it very difficult.
Madam Xie was already plumper than average, and her youngest daughter-in-law was rather thin...
"I'll buy two sheep in a couple of days and drink some sheep milk to nourish my body."
As for why we didn't buy cattle, it's simple: we were afraid of Xiao Liu causing trouble.
Moreover, goat milk is also very nutritious.
“I want to drink too,” Xie said, puffing out her chest. “I can’t let others outdo me.”
"Second sister-in-law~" Jin said, sounding somewhat aggrieved.
"Okay, we'll talk about it later, let's get in the car first."
After getting into the oxcart, Xie touched the food boxes on both sides with satisfaction.
"We can play a little longer today. I've already prepared food and drinks, and I've also brought a lot of deworming powder."
She wanted to take this opportunity to go for a spring outing.
“I also brought a kite,” Jin said, opening her dusty bundle. “We can fly kites, and oh yes, shuttlecocks too.”
She took the item out as if it were a treasure.
"So you're going on a spring outing?" Jiang Nuan's lips twitched. After thinking for a moment, she made a decision. "Since we're going out to play anyway, let's bring the elderly and children with us and have a great time."
When Grandma Huang heard the news, she was very interested, but she was embarrassed and said, "I'm too old to compare with you young people. I'll stay home and watch the house. You go ahead."
“No one would dare to steal anything in broad daylight,” Jiang Nuan said, pulling the old lady’s hand. “Come with us. It’s boring to be alone. The weather is nice today. Go out for a walk and clear your head.”
"But I..."
"Don't do that," Madam Xie carefully pulled her back. "Grandma stays at home all day. It's time to go visit our estate. Otherwise, she won't be able to explain herself when people ask, and it will be hard to show off."
In the end, Grandma Huang followed them out with a helpless expression.
The old lady was a lively and opinionated person when she was young, but after she got married, she was overwhelmed with work and had no time to think about playing.
Later, when he had more free time, he was already old and had no desire to go out. If he needed help, he would look after the children; if he had nothing to do, he would sunbathe by himself. He had long been used to his little backyard and had no desire to go out at all.
Today, after being encouraged by my daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law, I suddenly realized that going out for fun is actually quite nice.
The family was chatting and laughing happily on the oxcart, unaware that someone from Huangjiakou had come to town to look for them, and they couldn't even get through the door.
