Qian Youxue blinked without objection. If Bowen wanted to have enough strength, he would probably have to suffer a lot.
Madam Su was surprised that the War King would make such a promise to her son. While she was happy, she was also worried that her pampered child would not be able to endure the hardships of training.
“Bowen is a real man, he’s not afraid of hardship,” Qian Bowen said firmly.
"That's good. Judging from your current condition, you can go to the War King's Mansion to report to your master next month." Xuan Mingye didn't give anyone a chance to speak and set the time directly.
Can Bowen accomplish this in a month?
Qian Youxue was somewhat worried, but considering what Yunhe had said, she felt that the War King's Mansion was safer than the Qian family. She decided to ask Uncle Long if he could occasionally teach Bowen some things.
Madam Su became anxious, gently tugging at her daughter's clothes, but dared not say anything out of turn.
"Alright, you two go and catch up. I'll rest for a while." Xuan Mingye waved his hand, and Leng Xue and Leng Mo carried the sedan chair into the inner room.
After the War King left, Su Shi jumped up and down, trying to talk to Qian Youxue, but Qian Youxue stopped her with a look.
"Bowen, play with Yunhe for a while. Your sister has something to say to Mother." Qian Youxue knew that her mother was reluctant to part with her precious younger brother, so she sent him away first.
Qian Bowen was taken by Yunhe to play in the backyard, while Qian Youxue led her mother into Yunhe's room. Closing the door, she said bluntly, "Mother, don't worry about Bowen's health. Besides me, there's also Mr. Buyu in the Prince's mansion!"
Bu Yu's name was already well-known, and Madam Su had naturally heard of it. She also knew that Qian Youxue's medical skills were impressive these days, so she wasn't worried about these things.
“Mother, Bowen is a man, and one day he will have to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Qian family. If he doesn’t become strong, how will he establish his authority in the future? You’ve seen it yourself, Muxue will soon marry into the Crown Prince’s residence, and then Liu will become even more arrogant. Aren’t you afraid of Liu’s revenge?” Qian Youxue patiently analyzed the situation for her mother. She looked at this woman, this woman who was not her mother.
It wasn't that she was particularly kind, but rather that Bowen was the only male heir of the Qian family, and the best way for her to make amends to her grandmother was to protect this younger brother.
Madam Su slumped into a chair, her face turning deathly pale. Ever since Qian Muxue's imperial decree arrived, she hadn't slept well, constantly worrying that Liu Shi, that vile woman, would use the Crown Prince to deal with Bowen. Now, with Youxue's words, she felt even more terrified.
"There's another matter. You know someone has been secretly tampering with things. If they find out that Bowen has recovered, do you think that person will let him go? It's easier to guard against what you can see, but how can you guard against what you can't see? Mother, you decide whether you want Bowen to live or die!" Qian Youxue said, then poured her mother a cup of tea.
Madam Su sat there with tears in her eyes. She had spent so many years trying to uncover the secrets of the Qian family, but now, it seemed that her once most useless daughter had discovered something.
Holding the cup in her hand, she slowly looked up at Qian Youxue: "Would your grandmother agree?"
“Yes, she won’t watch Bowen die,” Qian Youxue answered confidently, unaware that her mother was actually testing her on something else.
Having received such a positive answer, Su was basically certain that the old woman had told Youxue the Qian family's secret. Otherwise, Youxue wouldn't have been so sure.
She hesitated, wondering whether to ask for clarification, when suddenly she thought of Sai Miaoshou. If she were to encounter Sai Miaoshou one day, even if she didn't want to talk, that person would probably find a way to pry her open up. If the Qian family's secret was related to Bowen, it would only harm Bowen in the end; therefore, it was better for her not to know.
Um!
She nodded heavily, hoping that Bowen could grow up as quickly as possible under the protection of the War King's Mansion.
"Since you've agreed, let's avoid any unforeseen problems by taking Bowen with us when we go back in the next couple of days!" Qian Youxue thought for a moment and decided that this was the best reason to keep things quiet to outsiders.
"So fast!" Mrs. Su stood up excitedly.
Qian Youxue didn't want it to be so fast either, but considering that the person hadn't been caught yet, she had to move up the timeline. She comforted her mother by pulling her down to sit, and whispered, "Mother, I won't hide it from you, last night Yunhe discovered that someone was trying to harm Bowen."
"How could that be? There's a formation set up inside Yi Garden. I couldn't possibly not know someone had broken in." Madam Su became even more agitated.
Qian Youxue gave her mother a "forget it" look and poured cold water on her: "Your lousy formation could be easily broken even by Yunhe, let alone by a master. I was originally thinking about how to bring him back to the War King's Mansion, but since he brought it up, that's for the best."
“But…” Mrs. Su didn’t know what to say.
"Mother, don't worry. I'm well-liked in the War King's Mansion. If Bowen is lucky, he might even become a disciple of Mr. Buyu." Qian Youxue's biggest wish was to get close to Buyu. That guy was not only highly skilled in medicine, but also had unfathomable cultivation. He was the best candidate to be Bowen's master.
Upon hearing this, Madam Su's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Mr. Buyu, would you really be willing?"
"Mother, don't worry, Youxue has a way to make him agree. After Bowen leaves, Mother should also settle down and clean up the unclean people in your yard as soon as possible." Qian Youxue always felt that her mother's yard was unclean, although she couldn't find out who it was yet?
Um!
Ms. Su nodded in understanding and remained silent.
Qian Youxue took out several bottles of mid-grade pills from her body and stuffed them into her mother's hands: "Take these pills. After Bowen leaves, you must also improve your spiritual power. Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if you can't beat that bitch Liu."
In all these years, Su Shi has been so focused on taking care of Bowen's health that she has indeed neglected many things. Before marrying into the Qian family, her spiritual power was on par with Liu Shi's; over the years, that wretched woman has probably surpassed her long ago, hasn't she?
"Your Highness, the Prince requests your presence!" A cold, ruthless voice suddenly came from outside the door.
Hire a ghost!
Qian Youxue cursed inwardly, reluctantly patted her mother's shoulder, dragged her tired body out of the room, and followed Leng Xue back to the other room.
Clang!
As soon as the person went in, the door was closed.
Then, Xuan Mingye appeared behind Qian Youxue with lightning speed and swept her into his arms.
"Put me down, you bastard, what are you going to do now?" Qian Youxue said rudely, not even bothering to struggle.
"You look tired, rest for a while." Xuan Mingye carried the person and placed them on the bed, then made no further moves.
As soon as she touched the bed, Qian Youxue yawned. She was really tired and sleepy, but someone's hand was still there, so she couldn't close her eyes and go to sleep.
