Qian Jiyun had to personally escort Prince Lei Ting. This was not only because Prince Lei Ting was a member of the royal family but also because the Emperor was asserting his authority over him. Prince Lei Ting could not stay here forever.
It was not easy for the Emperor to find a reason for Prince Lei Ting to return to the capital too.
“Going to the capital…” An Jiuyue’s eyes lit up.
She had wanted to go to the capital. She was not drawn to its affluence, but her father had mentioned in his letter that he had left something there for her. She wanted to take a look.
“Let’s go. We can bring Zheng’er and Rong’er along.”
They should broaden their horizons. They’re supposed to be young masters living in the capital. However, an old woman couldn’t tolerate them, so they had no choice but to live with me in the mountains.
The children have been wronged! I must make thorough preparations for them for this trip to the capital.
“I have to prepare too.”
I have to make preparations for myself too. I have to find a way to get back at those people who kicked me out of the house, right?
“Alright, go ahead.”
Qian Jiyun knew she was referring to the Jade Kite Garden Villa and the 18 Stockaded Villages when she said she had to prepare.
He planned to stay in the capital for a while. He had to be certain that everything was taken care of, including that old woman in his residence!
She had been tyrannical for so many years. She had to get some payback, right?
“Yan Nuo, fetch Yiyun back.”
“Yes, General,” Yan Nuo replied and got ready to pick up Qian Yiyun.
When An Jiuyue heard that, she told them she wanted to go back too, and she returned to An Clan Village with Yan Nuo.
…
In An Clan Village…
A couple of families were distressed. They were the families of the men An Jiuyue had caught trying to steal her food.
Many families did not have enough food at home. However, they could still survive by digging wild vegetables and going up the mountain to gather food.
However, An Jiuyue had taken away their able-bodied men, leaving only the elderly and women to look for food.
How could they be happy with this?
They had gone to look for the Chief and the Junior Officer many times because of this issue. Unfortunately, they ignored them and pretended not to hear their complaints.
“Sigh.”
The straw shed was finally filled with firewood.
An Gouzi looked at it and finally heaved a sigh of relief. They were finally free!
He swore he would never provoke An Jiuyue again!
“Brother Dog, we’ll be free after chopping firewood for another two days, right?”
Tears welled up in An Hao’s eyes as he looked at the straw shed that was almost filled. He was finally free! He was looking forward to sleeping for a few days when he returned home!
He had suffered more in these days than he had in his entire life. He could not help but wonder if he should go to chop firewood tomorrow every night before going to bed.
However, he had no choice but to go the next day.
“If we work harder, we’ll be done by tomorrow,” An Feng said to them, clenching his fists.
“Yes, we’ll work until a little later tonight, so we’ll only have to work for one more day tomorrow.”
The other two agreed. If they could finish their task by tomorrow, they would be able to sleep for an entire day the following day. They wished to be free from this vexation soon.
“Alright!” they chorused and began chopping firewood fervently.
Unbeknownst to them, An Jiuyue arrived when they returned home after chopping the firewood that night. She was very pleased with the filled straw shed.
