Grandma Han was filled with regret.
If I had known that the Ning family would be going to join the army, I wouldn't have let the second son send those two children away.
Now... how am I supposed to explain this to the Ning family?
Seeing Old Mrs. Han's face growing paler, Old Mrs. Qi, Han's sister-in-law, inwardly scoffed. Her sister-in-law was truly acting out of guilt.
“This area is the An family’s territory, and the soldiers here are all under General An’s command. Our family and the An family have known each other for a long time, and when General An started his rebellion, our family gave him a lot of money.”
Grandma Han calmed down.
Oh right! How could she forget that? That's why she brought her children and grandchildren to stay with her parents' family.
Grandma Han straightened her clothes. "Sister-in-law, please sit down. I'll go and take care of him."
Ning Dafu was just thinking that his nephew would definitely say, "Wow! Uncle, you look so impressive!" when he saw him dressed like this!
Grandma Han arrived with her maids and servants.
Ning Dafu bowed to Old Madam Han. "Greetings, Madam. I've come to see Dong'er and Jun'er. Where are Dong'er and Jun'er?"
"Back in my hometown."
Ning Dafu could hardly believe his ears. "Grandma, I heard that your whole family has come."
Grandma Han looked at Ning Dafu and said calmly, "His grandfather loved them so much, they should have gone to his grave before they passed away, right? Who knew that when they went to his grandfather's grave, I suddenly received news that the Ning family was about to attack. I can't risk the whole family for the sake of the two of them, can I?"
bump!
Ning Dafu kicked the chair next to him away. "You're kidding me! Your whole family escaped, except for my nephew and niece! You just wait!"
After saying that, Ning Dafu stormed off.
Grandma Han's face turned pale again.
Grandpa Qi was feeding the birds when Grandma Han rushed over. "Brother, something terrible has happened! The Ning family has come knocking. Their eldest son is a military officer. As soon as I told him his nephew and niece weren't with him, he went back to get more people. Brother, you have to think of something quickly!"
Grandpa Qi frowned. "You mean, you only have two children? Why can't you tolerate them?"
It wasn't that she couldn't tolerate it, it was her second son. Her second son said that whenever he saw those two children, he was reminded of how his friends had laughed at him back then.
"Brother, it's too late to say anything now. Brother, you have to think of something quickly."
As Old Master Qi walked out, he said, "Send someone to bring those two children here."
"Okay, I'll send someone to pick them up right now."
Before Old Master Qi returned, Ning Dafu arrived with his men. The Qi family guards tried to stop him, but Ning Dafu drew his knife. "Get out of the way! I'm here to see the Han family. If you dare stop me, I won't be polite."
Ning Dafu used to be a bodyguard, then fought in wars for two or three years, and now he's in a fit of rage...
The guards of the Qi family chickened out.
Ning Dafu's men also drew their knives.
Butler Qi forced himself to approach. "Sir, my family and... ah!"
bump!
Before he could finish speaking, Ning Dafu slapped him out. "Go!"
"yes!"
After Ning Dafu led his men inside, they began searching for the men of the Han family.
Soon, Ning Dafu found all the men in the Han family who were eighteen years old or older.
Ning Dafu had them beaten up first.
After beating them black and blue, he said he would recruit them into the army.
The men of the Han family were terrified. Old Mrs. Han could no longer cower in fear. She rushed out and grabbed Ning Dafu's arm, saying, "Uncle, we were wrong. We'll send someone to bring Dong'er and Jun'er here right now."
Ning Dafu shoved Old Mrs. Han aside. "Go now? Dong'er and Jun'er might already be dead! Take them away!"
"yes!"
When Old Master Qi returned with General An's younger brother's attendant, Ning Dafu had already taken away all the Han family men aged eighteen and above.
As soon as Grandma Han saw Grandpa Qi, she rushed over and hugged his legs. "Brother, brother, please save my children and grandchildren. Ning Dafu took them away. Ning Dafu said... said he wanted to send them to war. How could they fight? They are all scholars. Brother, please save them. Brother, I beg you, brother."
Old Master Qi looked at An He, the attendant of General An's younger brother. "Thank you for your trouble."
"You're welcome. Let's go to the military camp."
"good."
When Old Master Qi and Anhe arrived at the military camp, Ning Dafu was holding a whip and watching the men of the Han family practice their horse stance. If anyone swayed even slightly, Ning Dafu would whip them.
The men of the Han family all greeted their patriarch as he arrived, calling him "Uncle!" or "Grand Uncle!"
Old Master Qi waved his hand. "Alright, stop calling me that. Sir, you must be Dong'er's uncle?"
Ning Dafu ignored him. Ning Dafu also knew An He. "Manager An, please come in."
"Um."
As Ning Dafu followed An He into the house, he said to his trusted confidant, "Keep an eye on them. If anyone slacks off, beat them."
"yes."
After entering the room, Ning Dafu poured An He a cup of tea. "Manager An, please have some tea."
An He picked up his teacup and took a sip. "This is Old Master Qi. The Qi family and the An family have been friends for generations. The Qi family also helped the general a lot when he started his rebellion. Could you please give Old Master Qi some face?"
Ning Dafu didn't want to give it. But An He had already said so. "Yes. However, my father saved the Han family's life, and the Han family has to repay our family with a life."
