"More important? What could be more important than Mother's safety?" Jiang Wenxi pouted and said with a displeased expression.
Jiang Ling patted Jiang Wenxi's head gently and said, "Don't worry, how could your mother, a grown woman, not distinguish between danger and safety? Wenxi, don't worry, your mother promises nothing will happen!"
Jiang Wenxi was Jiang Ling's child after all, and she couldn't go against her wishes, so she could only pout and look unhappy.
Jiang Ling ignored Jiang Wenxi for the time being and continued to talk about her plans with the others.
In the end, everyone was persuaded by Jiang Ling, and Jiang Wenxi also agreed to the plan, but she still looked unhappy with a long face.
On the way back, Jiang Wenxi frowned and looked at Jiang Ling, saying, "Mother, why? Why won't you let me protect you? I'm really strong now!"
Jiang Ling patted Jiang Wenxi's head and whispered, "Think about it, as Constable Ye's most prized female disciple, what will those Western Region people think if you suddenly come back to Lu Family Village with me?"
Jiang Wenxi remained silent. Jiang Ling patted Jiang Wenxi's shoulder and said, "Mother knows that you are really capable and competent now, but Mother hopes that our Wenxi will become more calm and composed when facing problems!"
Jiang Wenxi pursed her lips and didn't say anything more, but her brows relaxed.
Jiang Wenxi and Jiang Ling returned to the Six Doors through the secret passage. When they came out, Jiang Ling stood at the entrance of the Six Doors and said to Constable Ye, "Constable Ye, I'm entrusting my Wenxi to you. I plan to set off for Lu Family Village tomorrow!"
Officer Ye feigned surprise, "Sister Jiang is leaving tomorrow? Aren't you going to keep an eye on her for a while longer?"
Jiang Ling shook her head. "No, no, the children have all come over, and I still have to take care of the family business. I'll have to leave Wenxi in your care!"
Officer Ye clasped his hands in a respectful bow: "Rest assured, I will handle the Jiang family's child without any problems!"
After exchanging pleasantries, Jiang Ling got into the carriage and left. Little did she know that the moment she left, two blond-haired, blue-eyed people silently disappeared into an inconspicuous alley next door.
"What did they say?" The familiar, aged, and authoritative voice appeared again.
After kneeling, the man from the Western Regions said, "This means we will be leaving the capital tomorrow!"
"Oh? This is a good opportunity! Pass down the order to continue surveillance! Make your move when the time is right on the road!"
"yes!"
After the carriage and the Westerners finished speaking, they disappeared into the alley in an instant, as if they had never been there before.
Jiang Ling left Jiang Wenxi at the Six Doors and returned to Jiang Zhishan's house. Looking at the children, she said, "We'll be going back to Lujia Village tomorrow. Here's some silver; go buy whatever you like!"
As she spoke, Jiang Ling took out some loose silver from her bosom and handed it to the children.
The children happily ran out with the silver, and Jiang Ling took out some more silver notes and put them in Qin Lingrui's hand.
"Lingrui, keep this silver note safe!"
Qin Lingrui quickly waved her hand and refused, saying, "No, no, elder sister, how can I accept your silver notes!"
Jiang Ling smiled faintly and stuffed the silver note into Qin Lingrui's hand, saying, "Why not? Zhishan and you have spent a lot in Shengjing, so it's only right for me, as your older sister, to help out!"
Qin Lingrui wanted to refuse, but Jiang Ling immediately put on a stern face, "What? Is it too little?"
"How could that be? I'll keep it, I'll keep it! Thank you, big sister!" Qin Lingrui quickly explained.
Jiang Ling then gave Qin Lingrui some more instructions, and as they chatted, the children who had gone shopping returned.
After packing everything up, Jiang Ling touched the pepper spray she had bought in the mall earlier.
Perhaps because they were going back to Lujia Village, the children were very excited and didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.
After dawn, Jiang Ling gently woke the children, who rubbed their sleepy eyes and got up to wash and dress.
Jiang Ling and Grandma Zhu made a lot of breakfast, but the children were mostly listless and yawning.
While Granny Zhu was serving the pickled vegetables, Jiang Ling secretly added a small amount of sleeping pills to the rice porridge.
After everyone finished eating, they prepared to depart.
Jiang Ling sat in the car, secretly observing everyone's condition.
Before long, Jiang Yaojie, Shen Congxin, Jiang Suihe, and Granny Zhu were yawning repeatedly, and soon they were all drowsy.
Jiang Ling carefully walked to their side, patted each of them to make sure they wouldn't wake up, then lifted the curtain and deliberately covered her chest, saying to Jiang Shan and Jiang Hu who were still sitting, "Stop for a moment, I'm a little carsick, and I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable right now!"
Jiang Shan and Jiang Hu quickly stopped the carriage and turned to look at Jiang Ling. Jiang Ling came out from inside and sat down by the carriage, saying to them, "You two continue driving. I might feel more comfortable sitting here and getting some fresh air."
The carriage was very spacious; three people could easily sit on the outside.
Since their master had said so, Jiang Shan and Jiang Hu couldn't say anything more, so they nodded and pulled on the reins again to continue their journey.
After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, both Jiang Shan and Jiang Hu were yawning incessantly, their heads nodding like chickens pecking at rice. After a while, the two finally leaned against the car and fell asleep.
Seeing this, Jiang Ling quickly snatched the reins and slowly stopped the carriage. Then she put Jiang Shan and Jiang Hu into the carriage as well. She glanced around, pouted, and quietly slipped inside.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Jiang Ling suddenly heard footsteps around her. She quickly took out the pepper spray she had prepared. At this moment, Jiang Ling's eyes were as sharp as a cheetah's, quietly waiting for her prey to take the bait.
Before long, the carriage curtain was suddenly lifted, and then some broken Chinese entered Jiang Ling's ears.
