After pondering for a moment, Yunye said, "Second Uncle, the reason we're heading south is to find a place to settle down. Do you know which area in the south has fewer people? Even if it's a bit remote, it's fine."
Having said what needed to be said, Yun Zhenchuan didn't press them too hard.
"Go back and think it over carefully."
Upon hearing this, Yun Mo suddenly stood up and walked out of the study without looking back.
"Ever since his grandfather, father, and elder brother died in battle, Sanlang has disliked others mentioning military matters to him. Second Uncle, please don't hold it against Sanlang."
As the eldest brother, Yunye should consider the overall situation and avoid getting too estranged from the second branch of the Yun family at the moment.
"Go ahead, try to persuade him." Yun Zhenchuan waved to him.
After the two brothers left, he wrote another letter to Fan Xueli. With his father and elder brother gone and the imperial power unstable, he believed that self-interest was the strongest bond between people. If he could dominate the south with the Fan family, kinship would be insignificant to him.
After having breakfast, Lin Yinan sat down at the table to write and draw.
Yun Mo pushed open the door and sat down next to her, his face ashen. He pursed his lips and breathed heavily, clearly showing his extreme anger.
"What's wrong?" Lin Yinan put down her pen and looked at him.
There was a knock on the door. The door was not closed. Lin Yinan looked up and saw Yun Ye standing outside.
"Second brother is here, come in and have a seat."
Lin Yinan quickly got up to collect the papers on the table and made room for Yunye.
Yunye entered the room and sat down next to Yunmo. "Don't be angry. Let's think of a solution."
“My whole family is here, and there are so many people on the village. If they're determined to cause trouble, how are we supposed to leave? What angers me most is that he actually dared to hit us…”
Yun Mo glanced at Lin Yinan beside him, but didn't continue. His mind raced, trying to figure out how to leave Nanzhou Prefecture safely with minimal casualties.
Lin Yinan guessed that the matter must be related to her, so she poured them both a cup of tea and asked, "What happened?"
Yunye didn't hide anything and briefly recounted Yun Zhenchuan and Lord Fan's plan to her.
"So, the largest aristocratic family in the South is the Fan family, and the current head of the Fan family is Prefect Fan Xueli?"
Yun Mo nodded. "That's right."
Lin Yinan smirked coldly, "That's simple. We'll carry out a decapitation strike. Whoever tries to harm us, we'll kill them."
Her words sent chills down their spines, and Yun Mo's eyes lit up immediately. "I heard that the Fan family keeps no less than five thousand retainers. Wife, do you have any good ideas?"
Five thousand chapters is no joke; if we mess it up, we might stir up a hornet's nest and end up with a head full of stings.
"Find someone to find out Fan Xueli's daily whereabouts and the internal situation of the Fan family. Once we have all the supplies ready, we'll make our move. If the Fan family is in turmoil, we might be able to profit from it."
"I'm afraid it won't be easy. As the head of the family, he must be accompanied by experts every day. If he makes a move, it will alert the people in the shadows. Besides, we've only just arrived in the South." Yunye frowned. He thought his third sister-in-law was thinking too simply.
Lin Yinan smiled mysteriously, "You guys find out their whereabouts, then I'll take action."
"No way!" Yun Mo immediately objected. Lin Yinan was already so pregnant; how could he let her do something so dangerous?
Lin Yinan glanced at him; she had a bunch of advanced firearms in her spatial storage.
"Don't you know my strength?"
Yunye said, "Let's send people out to find out the situation in Nanzhou Prefecture first."
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
"Master, Master Luo sent me back to collect the silver," a guard reported as he entered.
Lin Yinan slapped her forehead; she had forgotten about it. She quickly went into the inner room and took out a small package from her spatial storage.
"There are still silver notes inside, let's see if they can still be used here."
The guard put away the package and turned to Yun Mo, saying, "Master, Master Luo said that the things he ordered yesterday have all been delivered today. He asked when you would like to pick them up."
Yun Mo said, "Give the money to Master Luo first, I'll be heading out in a bit."
The guard pocketed the silver and left.
Yunye: "When will the guards who went out to scout the situation return?"
“When Yun Qi and the others return tonight, we’ll have a general understanding of the situation in the South,” Yun Mo said. Otherwise, we’ll be too constrained to do anything freely.
"Alright, since Yun Zhenchuan doesn't want us to leave, let's stir up trouble in the South before we leave."
After saying that, Yunye got up and walked out.
Lin Yinan tidied up and prepared to go out with Yun Mo.
However, they happened to run into Yunhua and Fan Yuejia, who were coming together, at the entrance of the courtyard.
"Are you going out?" Yunhua asked the two men without even greeting them.
Yun Mo pulled Lin Yinan aside and walked past them.
"Young Master Yun, are you going out?" Fan Yuejia asked, her large, wet eyes gazing at Yun Mo with affection.
Lin Yinan rolled her eyes. This was only their second meeting. Was her acting like she had fallen in love with Yun Mo at first sight?
Yun Mo ignored her and continued walking forward, holding Lin Yinan's hand.
Unexpectedly, Yunhua rushed forward and blocked the two of them, pointing at Lin Yinan arrogantly and saying, "Wait a minute, let Yuejia and Yunmo go out, you are not allowed to go."
"You're meddling too much," Lin Yinan said coldly, swatting away the hand that was pointing at her.
No one had ever dared to treat her like this before. Yunhua was furious. "You lowly wretch, you're not even worthy to be a concubine in the Yun family. How dare you even dream of becoming the wife?"
With a sharp "smack," a bright red handprint was left on Yunhua's face. She instinctively covered it with her hand, momentarily stunned and unable to react.
Looking at the powder stuck to his palm, Yun Mo disgustedly took out a handkerchief and wiped it off vigorously. "When did it become your place to tell my wife what to do? If you are so rude again, I will break your legs."
Fan Yuejia clutched the handkerchief tightly to her chest, terrified by the sudden scene.
As Yun Mo pulled Lin Yinan away, ignoring Fan Yuejia beside her, Yun Hua screamed and ran towards the Wang family's courtyard.
Fan Yuejia stared fiercely at Lin Yinan's bulky back before turning around to chase after Yun Hua.
Lin Yinan and Yun Mo boarded a carriage and headed straight for the warehouse rented by Luo Shouxin. The fabrics and clothes ordered yesterday had all been delivered, and the guards left behind had counted the quantity.
After collecting all the items in the warehouse, the two of them came out of the warehouse.
Lin Yinan wanted to go back early to make some homemade explosives, but Yun Mo insisted on dragging her to go shopping on the street, saying that she hadn't seen enough yesterday. She had no choice but to go with him.
I really can't understand why a grown man like him loves shopping so much. Before we even finished walking down one street, Yun Mo was already carrying big bags and small bags of things, including snacks, treats, and toys for the kids.
The food was all bought for Lin Yinan. When he was at home, he saw that his older sister and sister-in-law were pregnant and, in addition to being very hungry, they also really liked to eat candied fruits and pastries.
Along the way, Anan was either killing Hu people or fighting bandits, or she was in a coma due to her soul leaving her body, so she didn't get to eat anything good.
Yun Mo felt increasingly guilty as he thought about it, wishing he could buy up all the food on the street.
Lin Yinan recalled that when she went to collect the grain and supplies from the warehouse, the guards didn't react much, so she asked Yun Mo, "How did you tell your second brother and the guards about the spatial storage?"
