"Rest assured, Madam, I guarantee that I will deliver it to His Majesty."
"The items have been handed over to you; you don't need to tell me."
Once the items are handed over, she won't care about them anymore.
If a ruler of a country cannot even handle this simple matter, then even if trade routes are opened, they may not necessarily achieve the desired effect.
This shameless act made An San's lips twitch involuntarily.
He thought that his years of experience had long since turned him into a tool for winning someone's heart, only to later realize that...
It's not that he has no feelings, he just hides them very well. Since arriving here, he has something to complain about almost every day.
Therefore, he successfully fell into depravity.
From a tool for gaining affection, it has turned into a garrulous chatterbox full of complaints.
This is so frustrating!
"Understood!"
He nodded with feigned aloofness, then turned and left.
"Mother, don't you think An San is finally acting like a human being?"
"He was always a human being!"
“He used to be like a dead person, without any vitality.”
"He's a bodyguard, that's normal."
"Too!"
After explaining these things, Jiang Nuan returned to her room, regulated her breathing for a full cycle, and then continued to study the formation.
The Three Talents Formation is an offensive and defensive formation that encompasses many elements, including attack, defense, confusion, concealment, illusion, and movement.
Among them, single-function formations are the simplest, especially those that are primarily offensive.
Jiang Nuan has also been working hard in this direction.
One incident after another made her feel a sense of crisis, and she always felt that she had to master the necessary means of self-protection.
"Once I've thoroughly mastered all the formations, I'm going to set up formations throughout the entire village—no, I'll set them up in every single room!"
At that time, everything within sight will be impregnable, and there will be no need to worry about being controlled by others.
Even if this person is the ruler of a country.
No matter how well Ji Xuan behaved or how sincere he was, Jiang Nuan couldn't completely believe him.
She would not allow herself to go through the same experience as An Ge Lao.
Xie was unsure of Jiang Nuan's thoughts, but she could sense her impatience. After thinking for a moment, she found Huang Lao Er, who was sparring with Fang Qianhu.
"My husband!"
Just as Huang Lao Er was about to retaliate after being struck by Fang Qianhu, he heard a voice, "Wife?"
"Since your sister-in-law is looking for you, we can have another match sometime."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Fang."
After saying that, he ran to Xie's side.
"Wife, what's wrong?"
Seeing Huang Lao Er covered in sweat, Xie felt a little disgusted, but still wrinkled her nose and wiped his sweat.
"Go take a shower right now, you smell awful."
"I need to spar with Jiang Chao later, I'll shower tonight."
"It stinks!"
"Then wait a moment."
After saying that, Huang Lao Er dashed off.
A short while later, he returned, dripping wet.
"Couldn't you dry yourself off before coming out?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to wait."
Upon hearing this, Madam Xie blinked.
I had a lot of complaints, but I kept them all bottled up inside.
My husband has changed; he's become stronger, more stable, and more responsible, but he's never been perfunctory with me.
As always, he is honest and sincere, making him both lovable and hateful.
"I'm not in a hurry, and you don't need to be in such a rush either."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er did not refute, but just smiled sheepishly.
He was just too lazy to wipe it.
In the sweltering summer, being damp is cooler, and wiping it is troublesome and a waste of time.
However, for some reason, I felt that I couldn't let my wife know what I was thinking.
"Wife, what happened?"
"Grand Secretary An is leaving tomorrow, and Uncle Liu won't be staying for long either."
"Uncle Liu is leaving too? How come I didn't know?"
"What Mother just said is that Grand Secretary An will not let Uncle Liu stay here."
Upon hearing this, Huang Lao Er frowned, then casually let go, "Let him go, he can't stay here forever."
How can a Grand Secretary of a nation stay in office for so long?
It's already quite an achievement to have been able to teach them for so long.
Although their family is not poor, they were only promoted by others and don't actually have any real foundation.
How many people could give up the prosperity and wealth of the capital?
Whatever his purpose, the Huang family should be grateful that Liu An has gone to such lengths.
“That’s not the point,” Xie said anxiously. “I feel that Mother’s mood has soured since she deduced that Uncle Liu was leaving. She just came out of her room, but then turned around and went back in.”
"Haven't eaten?"
"No, I said I'd bring her chicken soup, but Mom said she wasn't hungry."
“That’s definitely not normal,” Huang Lao Er said thoughtfully. “What could make Mother so anxious that she wouldn’t eat? A magic array?”
"It's not that I haven't gone into seclusion before, but it's never been like this today."
“Indeed,” Huang Lao Er scratched his head, “but she always has her own ideas, so she must have other intentions for doing this.”
"But we can't ignore our health."
"Why don't we talk to Jiang Chao and his mistress about it?"
"It's no use looking for them, you might as well look for Grandma and Grandpa!"
“Then go find them,” Huang Lao Er said, puzzled. “You can just go directly to them; you don’t need to ask me.”
"Fool!" Xie was furious at these words and pinched Huang Lao Er's soft flesh hard. "I'm just too worried and want to talk to someone!"
"Don't worry, Mother knows more than we do, she'll definitely be fine!"
"You idiot!"
In the end, Xie left in a huff.
After resting for a while and calming down, he went to the back room to find the two old ladies and told them his worries.
“You really should see a doctor,” Grandma Jiang frowned. “Your mother already has a history of stomach problems; we can’t let her ruin her health like this.”
Grandma Huang didn't answer immediately, but after a long pause, she asked, "How is she feeling?"
“It’s neither good nor bad,” Xie thought for a moment and continued, “However, ever since we moved here, I’ve felt that Mother is a little anxious, but I don’t know what she’s anxious about.”
"The future of the whole family rests on her shoulders," Grandma Huang sighed. "Anyone else might not have been able to bear it."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.
After a long silence, Old Mrs. Jiang said with a look of disappointment, "It's a pity that none of these kids are any good."
Especially Huang Laoda.
Every time she thought of him, Old Mrs. Jiang felt so angry that her liver ached. For a vicious woman, she lost her whole family. He was an ingrate.
He's the eldest son, yet he can't shoulder any responsibilities; it's a waste of his upbringing.
Hearing this, Grandma Huang couldn't help but shake her head. "Our children are already the best we can do. We can't ask for too much. They used to be just country boys who didn't even know how to read. They've worked very hard to become like this in just a few months."
Grandma Jiang understood this as well, and couldn't help but sigh, "If only Huang Mu were still alive."
In other families, the men are the pillars of the household, but in the Huang family, only their daughter is holding things together, with no one to share the burden.
I didn't realize it before, but now the more I think about it, the more my heart aches.
These words brought tears to the old lady's eyes.
She desperately wanted her son to live, but alas, the dead cannot be brought back to life!
"There's nothing we can do, we have to accept our fate!"
The atmosphere became somber.
Xie secretly regretted that she shouldn't have come looking for him.
The two elderly ladies were resourceful, but also sensitive, and would easily become sentimental and distressed if not careful.
