When she thought of Jiang Qianruo, her eyes became much more complicated.
Her mother clearly said she didn't recognize her, so why did she suddenly help her take the blame?
Ji Changying was a little unhappy. In her eyes, Jiang Qianruo was far less important than her mother's safety.
But now standing opposite her is Princess Ping.
She said with some dissatisfaction: "My mother is really something. Why would she do this for no reason? Now that I'm well, I need at least half a year to recover from the injury."
"Your mother has done a great service this time! If you need anything, just tell us directly. No matter what it is, I will find a way to get it. Let your mother take good care of it. In the future, great fortune will come!"
Song Ruqing's words were profound, but Ji Changying didn't seem to understand. "We have no shortage of supplies, but could you tell me where those people who were called in for training during the slack season are now? I'm a little worried about my father and uncle."
Song Ruqing understood: "Are you talking about those peasant soldiers?"
"They've been sent to Xinyangguan, but don't worry. For now, they're just helping to carry corpses, carry weapons, and feed horses in the rear. They won't be sent to the battlefield right now."
"Xinyangguan?"
Seeing Ji Changying's puzzled look, Song Ruqing brought her to the sand table:
"Xinyang Pass is the northernmost pass of our Dali, encompassing the territories of Tielingpo, Liangzhou, Xizhou, and Jiangzhou. Tieling Guard, Liangzhou Guard, and Jiangzhou Guard are stationed in the west, south, and east respectively."
"The Ganliang River in the north is a natural barrier. Except in winter when the Ganliang River freezes over and people can cross it, they can't cross it this season. Even if they could, they wouldn't be able to cross the Ganliang River silently."
"So the main battlefield this time is Xinyangguan."
Ji Changying saw clearly that the location of Xinyang Pass was probably between Liangzhou and Tiepoling, southwest of Dongning County.
She nodded: "Then...how long will this war last?"
I won’t go to the battlefield now, but no one can tell what will happen in the long run!
"This time, we won't stop just because they want to. We plan to keep going and make sure they don't dare come again for at least ten years."
Song Ruqing was really fed up with these barbarians who would attack him at any time, and his face was full of disgust.
"All right."
Judging from this, it will not stop in the short term.
Ji Changying had nothing to say, so she said goodbye to Princess Ping and returned to the medicine house.
Mrs. Zhou was leaning against the head of the bed, eating the peaches that Mrs. Zhou Liu had picked for her on the mountain. She was smiling happily and looked completely worry-free.
Seeing Ji Changying coming over, his eyes lit up: "Come, come, try some of the wild peaches your grandma picked on the mountain!"
Seeing her heartless look, Ji Changying almost laughed in anger: "Mom, there were so many people around before and I didn't ask you, how did you get injured?"
Zhou's eyes wandered: "Ah... it's just... I was accidentally shot!"
"I asked the princess."
Zhou then looked at her with a guilty look on her face. "I was holding a corpse in my hand blocking us at the time. I thought it was fine! Who knew this arrow would be so powerful and hit me too?"
Ji Changying snorted coldly: "I have already asked clearly, you were trying to save her, right? Didn't we agree not to recognize each other before? Are you..."
"No!" Zhou explained anxiously, "She saved me before, and I thought it was okay because there was something blocking us, so I saved her. I didn't have time to think too much at the time!"
Looking at Zhou's serious explanation, Ji Changying sighed: "I'm not angry that you saved someone, I'm just worried about you. Promise me that next time you save someone, you must not get hurt, okay? Because mother is very important to me, I don't want to see you get hurt."
Zhou was so delighted by these words: "There will definitely not be a next time! I will learn my lesson after being hurt so much once!"
——
It should be said that being generous also has its advantages.
After Zhou woke up, she did not get angry because of the pain of the wound, nor did she feel uncomfortable because she had to lie in bed to recuperate.
She was smiling and eating and drinking all day long, which made the people who came to take care of her feel much better. Even Zhou's sister-in-law came to see her with food and drinks.
"Sister, what does that Grandma Jiang do? Why does she always stay close to Mom?"
Ji Changchuan was very depressed. He took a half-month vacation to come back and take care of his mother, but he couldn't get close to Zhou at all.
Grandma and Grandma Jiang were competing with each other to take care of his mother. The two of them almost cleaned up his mother's mess, and there was no room for others to intervene.
Ji Changying glanced at her clever brother, thought for a moment, and finally told the truth: "It's possible that she is. I'm just saying, there's a possibility that she is our real grandmother."
Ji Changchuan curled his lips: "I knew it! I guess grandma and grandpa have guessed it in their hearts too."
Jiang Qianruo didn't have to do anything, just showing that face made Zhou Yidao and Zhou Liushi feel nervous.
What's more, no matter how hard she tried to hide it, her behavior was obvious enough that anyone who wasn't a fool could guess that the two of them were related.
Now everyone just knows it tacitly.
They both glanced inside the house.
Mrs. Zhou leaned against the head of the bed, happily drinking a sip of water fed by Mrs. Zhou Liu on the left side, and eating a bite of snack fed by Jiang Qianruo on the right side. It can be seen that she is good at serving water.
Ji Changying nudged her brother with her elbow: "What do you think?"
Ji Changchuan said with a stern face: "I don't care. It depends on what mother thinks. Besides, she hasn't said anything yet, so why should we rush to initiate it? If she doesn't say anything, we can just pretend we don't know and just let mother enjoy her care."
Ji Changying couldn't help but patted his brother's shoulder: "That's great, brother. You've inherited your father's talent for playing dumb and getting benefits for free."
Ji Changchuan was somewhat pleased with himself: "Anyway, we are not the ones feeling guilty, so what are we afraid of?"
There is something wrong with what you said.
Ji Minghao and Ji Mingxuan also thought so: "Since you can't squeeze in front of your aunt to take care of her, just go over and take a look when you have nothing to do."
"The three of us will be off next year, so we better not slack off at home. Come on! Let's study together."
Ji Minghao took out a book as tall as a person and placed it on the table. He looked like he was not going to let them go.
"······Where did all these books come from?" Ji Mingxuan was a little surprised when he saw the books his brother brought out.
"I saved it." Ji Minghao smiled.
No matter if he bought it or won it from a bet, it was all saved by him.
The return of the three people made Mrs. Hu less angry about the chickens and vegetables that were trampled to death and the flowers and trees that were destroyed.
I quickly adjusted my mood and reorganized myself. I replanted what could be planted and replanted what could be grafted.
Ji Changying went next door. His master had not returned yet, but the twelve people who were locked in his yard had disappeared!
The yard was in a mess, as if it had been visited by robbers.
She checked the situation in the utility room and confirmed that the twelve people had run away on their own.
