Chapter 155 How come she's a woman?
And Wang's mother and her family, all those who followed her out of Beijing, accompanied her through hardships, she should be properly taken care of!
“Young master, our whole family are your servants. We will follow you wherever you go!” Wang Mama said firmly.
Shen Lanxi sighed and said, "Following me might mean living a precarious life, constantly on the move, and even facing numerous dangers. Are you and your family willing to follow me?"
Before Wang Mama could speak, she continued, "Hongliu Village is under my jurisdiction. If you are willing to stay, I can give you enough gold and silver to help you acquire property. I will ensure that your family will live a life of plenty for three generations."
Madam Wang turned to look at her family, and said firmly, "We still want to follow the young master!"
After pondering for a moment, Shen Lanxi asked, "Will you spend the New Year here, or at the garrison?"
Mother Wang: "Go to the health center!"
"Go back and pack your things. We'll leave together tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
No sooner had Wang's mother taken her family back than Shen Yuanxin arrived.
"Big sister, Grandma misses you and wants to come over and talk to you!"
Shen Lanxi glanced at her and said calmly, "You go back first, I'll come over after I'm done with my work!"
Shen Yuanxin didn't rush to leave. She stood up and stammered as if she had something to say to Shen Lanxi.
"Big sister, I have something to tell you, but I don't know if I should!"
Shen Lanxi: "Don't say things you shouldn't say!"
Shen Yuanxin: "These past few days, Aunt Zhang has been using her pregnancy as an excuse to send Yuanhe and Yuanrui to see Father!"
Shen Lanxi stared straight at her: "So?"
Shen Yuanxin said indignantly, "Back in the capital, Mother had already established the rules that there were enough children in the main house. Aunt Zhang disobeyed the mistress's orders and had a child without permission. Isn't Eldest Sister angry?"
Shen Lanxi looked at her intently and said, "I understand. Remember my words. I don't care if you interfere in other matters, but you can't touch a single one of the Shen family's children!"
Shen Yuanxin felt as if her older sister had seen right through her, so she quickly looked away.
"Elder sister, you've misunderstood. How could I possibly harm a child? I was just saying that Aunt Zhang is disrespecting the mistress of the house!"
Thinking of her mother, who was still ill, Shen Lanxi said, "Mother will take care of this!"
Shen Yuanxin left unwillingly.
After eating a little something, Shen Lanxi went to see her grandparents!
Knowing that Shen Lanxi would arrive soon, everyone sitting in the hall would glance towards the door every now and then, all thinking the same thing.
Why aren't they here yet?
Upon seeing Shen Lanxi enter, everyone in the Shen family, except for the old master and madam, stood up and greeted her warmly.
"Lanxi, you're here!"
Shen Lanxi nodded, and as she walked, the Hundred Household Waistband was faintly visible, which made all the Shen family members' hearts tremble!
She actually became a centurion!
How could she be a woman to have jumped three levels in such a short time?
If she were a man, the Shen family would be a powerful force by now!
"Lanxi, sit down and rest!" Madam Shen, her cold demeanor gone, smiled and patted the seat to her right.
"Quickly pour some hot tea for Lanxi to warm her up!"
A group of people were being directed around by the old lady!
"Lanxi, why are you the only one who came back this time? When are your second uncle and Yuanjing coming back? The New Year is just around the corner. This is the first New Year our family has celebrated since we moved to Dongchuan. We must have a happy reunion!"
With a kind smile on her face, Old Madam Shen listened intently to every word she uttered!
Shen Lanxi's expression was gentle, but her tone was as cold and hard as iron!
"Grandmother, don't inquire about the affairs of the garrison. When Second Uncle and the others return, don't ask them about their activities at the garrison either. If they do, it will be considered a leak of military intelligence!"
Madam Shen froze: "Is it alright for us to talk about it as family?"
Shen Lanxi pursed her lips and remained silent.
"Lanxi, let's have lunch at home. I'll have your aunt make your favorite magnolia cake!"
Shen Lanxi shook her head: "I'm going up the mountain this afternoon!"
Madam Shen's brow twitched: "What are you doing up the mountain?"
"hunt!"
Liu said, "Lanxi, you're a centurion now, why do you still need to go hunting in the mountains yourself? Just send your soldiers!"
Shen Lanxi: "I want to hunt large ferocious beasts, preferably tigers, leopards, black bears, and the like!"
The Shen family members were all startled.
"Lanxi, those are man-eating beasts, you must not take the risk!" Old Madam Shen knew that ever since their Shen family was branded as guilty of stealing the Wei family's army's provisions, they would never be able to turn their lives around.
Thinking that she had finally found a chance to turn her life around, she was counting on Shen Lanxi to help raise her children and grandchildren.
How can we just stand by and watch her take such a risk?
"You're not allowed to go! You've just been promoted to centurion. If anything goes wrong, all your previous hard work will be for nothing!"
Shen Lanxi said calmly, "I went to hunt wild beasts to intimidate my soldiers. In the military camp, strength is paramount; whoever is the strongest gets orders. I'm not as strong and tall as others, so I had to find another way!"
Madam Shen understood this principle, but wild beasts were not ordinary things. If she made a mistake, the peaceful life she had finally achieved would be lost to someone else.
She absolutely cannot get hurt now!
"Lanxi, listen to your grandmother, your grandmother will not harm you!"
Shen Lanxi stood up: "My mind is made up, Grandmother, there's no need to persuade me any further."
Madam Shen clenched her fists under her sleeves, her face darkening.
"Alright, since you insist on going, then go. Grandmother is looking forward to your safe return!"
Shen Lanxi turned and left!
The weather turned gloomy again in the afternoon, and Shen Lanxi gathered her men, carrying weapons, and went up the mountain!
"My lord, look at the weather, it's going to snow again soon!" Wei Dongzhu put on his mask; the newly grown skin on his face couldn't withstand the cold!
Shen Lanxi glanced at the sky and saw Xiaoxue swirling past, flying eastward.
"Then let's finish this quickly and get back to Baihe County before the snow!"
"yes!"
Shen Lanxi, carrying Wei Dongzhufengwu, flew swiftly eastward.
"Angry White, search for ferocious beasts!"
"Received, Master!"
"There's a warm-weather black bear in the cave ahead. Two hundred meters to the east, there's a tiger out hunting. That tiger just caught a sika deer and is now stopping to look for food!"
I'll choose the tiger!
"East!"
"yes!"
Shen Lanxi was in front, with Feng Wu and Wei Dongzhu behind. The two of them had already given it their all, but they were still twenty or thirty meters away from Shen Lanxi. If it weren't for the red cloak she was wearing, they would have lost her long ago!
The king of beasts remains vigilant even when hunting for food.
Upon smelling the scent of a stranger, it immediately opened its blood-red maw in the direction from which the scent came, threatening them.
Shen Lanxi landed on a tree branch, while Feng Wu and Wei Dongzhu stood on the snow.
A three-meter-long, striped tiger stared intently at them, letting out a terrifying roar!
The next second, the tiger charged towards them like a drawn bow.
Shen Lanxi landed gracefully, her cloak billowing behind her, like a fallen crimson petal in the snow.
In the next instant, he turned around, his long staff pressing down on the tiger's roar with a force that seemed to split the wind, and smashed down on the tiger's head!
