Li Xiaoxiao was shocked after hearing these words. She recalled that when she transmigrated into the book, the female lead did not acknowledge her relatives because the general's wife did not come here.
"I...this..."
She couldn't speak, but why did she and the general's wife only look a little alike, with only their lips being similar, and the rest not being very similar?
Wu Xinyue looked closely at Li Xiaoxiao and sighed, "So that's why I haven't found someone after searching for so many years based on my own appearance."
"Mmm." Li Xiaoxiao nodded obediently. The person sitting in front of her was her mother. After being an orphan for many years, she suddenly had a living mother. She had no idea how to respond.
Especially the woman in front of him, whose eyes were full of excitement, and who was already old and frail.
"Xiaoxiao, take me to your place." Wu Xinyue said this with pleading in her eyes. Li Xiaoxiao couldn't refuse and could only agree.
That day, escorted by a group of guards, they arrived at the Li family's residence. Li Xiaoxiao explained with a smile.
“This is my home. Four months ago it was a thatched hut. In a dream I received guidance from the gods and made some recipes. I also discovered the method of papermaking, and that’s how this home came to be.”
Li Xiaoxiao patiently explained, and Wu Xinyue looked at her with relief. It turned out that it was the guidance of the gods, and it seemed that their meeting was also preordained.
"Excellent, excellent, my son is truly outstanding."
Wu Xinyue nodded, got off the carriage, and walked into the courtyard with Li Xiaoxiao's help. The courtyard was paved with stone bricks and looked very nice. There were also many flower pots along the edge, and more than a dozen peach trees were planted side by side. The courtyard was full of peach petals.
Four children are practicing martial arts, and they look exceptionally diligent.
She's also very lively.
Wu Xinyue immediately recognized the child inside as the Tenth Prince. She was surprised that the Tenth Prince had been sent here. She had previously wondered where the Empress Dowager had sent the Tenth Prince, and why she was so at ease with it.
"You, sit here." Li Xiaoxiao helped Wu Xinyue to a chair.
Wu Xinyue sat in the chair, feeling even more exhausted. She was in pain all over from riding in the carriage.
Li Xiaoxiao walked into the house and brought a bowl of water, placing it in front of Wu Xinyue. "Mother...Mother, have some water."
A guard standing nearby reached out, "Wait, Madam, please examine her." The guard was about to take the silver needles when Wu Xinyue stopped him.
"Stop, Archie, don't be rude. This is the young master. He will be returning to the manor to acknowledge his ancestors in a few days."
Especially in the Founding Duke's Mansion, Li Xiaoxiao is the only legitimate daughter, and they are waiting for her to inherit the Founding Duke's Mansion when they return.
These words completely stopped the guards in their tracks, their eyes wide with shock. This was actually their young master.
Before they came, they had investigated Li Xiaoxiao. She had built a business all by herself, and her methods were ruthless and efficient. Her achievement of burning down a mountain stronghold and wiping it out was enough to earn her the title of General's Mansion.
"Yes, young master, you have been impolite. Please punish me." Archie immediately knelt down.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't mind and waved her hand, "Get up."
Wu Xinyue drank the bowl of water by herself, and after just one sip, she felt incredibly refreshed.
My body's original deficiencies have been greatly relieved, and the pain from before has been completely swept away. I haven't felt like this in ten years.
"Son, what about this water?"
Li Xiaoxiao blinked, and Wu Xinyue instantly understood, feeling even more gratified that her daughter had truly received divine guidance.
"Archie, go back and give the order to bring five thousand troops here to rebuild the Li Mansion. I intend to stay here for a long time."
After some thought, Wu Xinyue made a decision immediately. Aqi was even more shocked and advised, "Master, please think it over again. It would be better to let the young master be recognized by his ancestors and return to the clan."
Sending troops to garrison here, even though five thousand soldiers isn't a large force, is necessary.
“Archie, this is the first time you have disobeyed military orders. The young master has once again stationed troops in the commercial sector to establish a preliminary scale, and the papermaking matter will affect the overall situation. The Duke of Kaiguo is only one day away from here. I don’t want to hear any more questions.”
As soon as Wu Xinyue spoke, Aqi immediately realized what she meant.
"Yes, I will take care of it immediately."
This place happens to be the fiefdom of the Founding Duke's Mansion, but in recent years, the Founding Duke's Mansion has become sparsely populated and its power has been dispersed, and it is on its way to the end. Moreover, Wu Xinyue, the only heir of the Founding Duke, was poisoned by a villain. This place is indeed a good place.
"Your subordinate obeys."
Wu Xinyue waved, and Aqi left. A short while later, a new guard arrived.
Li Xiaoxiao was flattered. She was surprised to find that she had such a background. With this identity, it would be much smoother to start her business again.
"Xiaoxiao, you don't mind that your mother is meddling in other people's business, do you?"
Wu Xinyue looked much better.
Li Xiaoxiao didn't know how to respond to this relationship.
She remembered that in her previous life, the Founding Duke's Mansion had supported the female protagonist and allowed her to barely survive. This seemingly crumbling Founding Duke's Mansion actually secretly controlled a lot of power and had always kept the Imperial Preceptor in check.
The female protagonist, Wu Shiyao, is a concubine's daughter from a collateral branch of the Duke of the Founding Kingdom. She was later adopted and raised as his granddaughter.
She looks about 50% like Wu Xinyue.
In this life, she must face the female lead, and she cannot guarantee that Wu Shiyao will not persecute her because of the power of the Duke of the Founding Kingdom.
The female lead is very strong, and everyone who tries to compete for her resources will be labeled as a villain.
Li Xiaoxiao will become the villain and engage in a battle of wits with the female lead.
"Mother, of course I can't. Thank you for your help." Li Xiaoxiao brought over some fruit platters and placed them on the table.
While listening to Wu Xinyue talk about her family, Li Xiaoxiao happened to bring up the matter of finding someone. Wu Xinyue didn't mind and casually waved her hand, "It's easy to find someone now. The Duke of Kaiguo will send some people. Family members who have signed a contract are more reliable. I will take care of the formalities for you in a couple of days and have someone send the indenture up then."
