I want to protect my family, but you force me to take the lead

"Mom, how are you?"

"I got rid of it. What about you?"

"Dumped."

After Yuan Fangcao and her mother-in-law met, they asked each other about their situation and only breathed a sigh of relief when they were sure that the person who was following them had been thrown away.

"Cao'er, let's go back first. Nuan and the others should be here soon."

"it is good."

………………

When they were approaching the yard, Yuan Fangcao and Zhao Xiaocao stopped at the same time, looked at each other, and then continued to move forward vigilantly.

Xiao Qi, who was in charge of the alert, found Qin Nuan and said, "Miss Qin, two women are coming this way."

"Oh? I'll go take a look."

As she spoke, Qin Nuan walked towards the gate...

Just as Yuan Fangcao and Zhao Xiaocao entered Qin Nuan's sight, Qin Nuan suddenly opened the half-closed courtyard door and shouted excitedly: "Grandma, Second Aunt."

"Warm"

"Warm girl"

"Yeah, grandma, second aunt, I miss you so much."

Seeing Qin Nuan hugging her shoulders, Yuan Fangcao glared at her unhappily, "You're already a grown-up girl, but you're still so clingy."

"Mom, I don't think Nuannuan is clingy. Nuannuan, come and stick to second aunt and make your grandma jealous." As she said that, Zhao Xiaocao deliberately stepped forward and pretended to pull Qin Nuan.

"Go, go, go. Don't you see the kitchen is busy? Go and help."

"Hey, I'll go right away, hahaha..."

Seeing Zhao Xiaocao walking into the kitchen with a smile, Yuan Fangcao stretched out her finger and tapped Qin Nuan's forehead, saying angrily: "Just be naughty~"

"Grandma, I really miss you~ If you don't believe me, look into my eyes..."

As she spoke, Qin Nuan opened her big eyes and looked at Yuan Fangcao.

That look is as funny as it can be...

"You~ Come on, follow grandma into the house."

"Well, grandma, how is my grandpa? How are my brothers? How are the people in the village? ..."

Even though they were only a few steps away, Qin Nuan kept asking...

"Don't ask, everything is fine. The whole village is fine, no one is causing trouble or looking for trouble.

Now, stop and listen to me."

"Yeah, grandma said."

"Your mother should have told you about the token, so I won't repeat it. There is one thing you have to remember: you must protect yourself at all times. Only by protecting yourself can you protect others, including us.

This time, things were not as simple as they seemed. The previous head of the Sakuragi family, Sakuragi Huaxi, had some friendship with Grandma, and they had once made an agreement: As long as her Sakuragi family did not interfere in Daxia, I would not touch the Sakuragi family.

But this time, your mother sent back news that the Sakuragi family violated the original agreement, so the Sakuragi family's affairs are left to Grandma to handle."

At this point, Yuan Fangcao paused, looked at her granddaughter with a look that said "keep going", rolled his eyes at her, and continued, "The disputes among the four major families have lasted for hundreds of years, and it is impossible for their relationship to be eased all at once unless they have common interests involved.

On the surface, the three major families and the Takahashi family are at odds and have been suppressing the Takahashi family, but no one knows what they have done secretly.

In particular, we know very little about the Takahashi family. Imagine, would an ambitious family be willing to be suppressed and live a secluded life? "

As Qin Nuan listened, her mind suddenly became clear.

She said something was wrong, and it turned out to be here.

Then he thought of something and asked with concern: "Grandma, did you meet each other?"

Yuan Fangcao nodded and shook her head, "Someone was targeting us, but we got rid of them. But with their abilities, it's only a matter of time before they find this place. I just don't know who this family belongs to."

"Grandma, tell me about the Takahashi family. Although they were not involved in the incident, I always feel that they are everywhere. These four major families seem to be at odds with each other, but they also check and balance each other."

"Good analysis. The Gaoqiao family was once a family that produced generals. They...

…………Takahashi Minami, the ambitious man, has always wanted to be the prime minister of the island country, but unfortunately things did not go as he wished... In the end, he brought his family to the north and became a local tyrant.

Later, for some unknown reason, the Sakuragi family, the Sakai family, and the Yamamoto family, who were not originally in the north, actually moved to the north one after another.

In this way, the four families began to check and balance each other...

...............

The current head of the Takahashi family, Takahashi Minami, is not only an extremely ambitious person, but also a political person. Several members of the Takahashi family are currently serving in the cabinet and the Senate.

You said that with such a family member, the Takahashi family will really be suppressed by the other three families? Will they really retreat?"

Qin Nuan lowered her head in deep thought...

a long time.

He raised his eyes to look at Yuan Fangcao and said seriously: "Grandma, it seems that this matter is most likely related to the Takahashi family. In other words, this matter is a smokescreen thrown by the Takahashi family."

"It's very likely. The most urgent task is to find out the information of the Takahashi family. The information of the other three families is almost available now."

"Thank you for your hard work, grandma."

"Mom, Nuannuan, it's time to eat."

As they were talking, the grandparents heard Zhao Xiaocao's voice, responded, and then walked out together.

The ingredients were limited, so Zhao Xiaocao and Yu Xiaofeng tried their best but could only make four dishes and one soup, but the portions were quite sufficient.

In less than a quarter of an hour, only empty plates and bowls were left on the table.

When Xiao Yi and his son Xiao Qi were preparing to continue their vigilance, Qin Nuan's voice rang out, "Second Master Xiao and Third Master Xiao, please stay."

Seeing the two stop, Qin Nuan continued, "This time, things are a bit tricky, everyone come and analyze it. Grandma, you go ahead and talk."

"it is good."

Yuan Fangcao responded, and then told them everything they had learned in the past two days, and then expressed her own doubts.

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

Xiao Yi stroked his chin and said, "The old lady's doubts are very reasonable. Just imagine, whose family has a cabinet secretary and a disciple serving in the Senate, and would be suppressed so strongly? This doesn't make sense.

Also, why did those three families migrate to the north? What secrets were there between the four families?

Lastly, since the three families of Sakuragi, Sakai, and Yamamoto were able to suppress the Takahashi family to the point where they were almost extinct, why didn’t the Takahashi family disciples in the Senate and the Cabinet take action? "

Yuan Tianyi frowned, "As far as I know, these four families have ancestors in charge, especially the Gaoqiao family. Since there are people in charge, why don't the Gaoqiao family fight back? Are they waiting for an opportunity?

But what is this opportunity? How do they determine when this opportunity will appear? "
