So what if I traveled through time? I'll continue to roll in another place

These days, Shu Rongxue has been running around for Chu Yuanming. As an official's wife, Xiao Yueshan naturally also knew the news that the Zhao Dynasty army was trapped in Liangdu.

Before, she asked Zhou Yao to follow Chu Yuanming closely, but she didn't expect that she would be caught first.

She had been concentrating on the production of Yufeng Manor recently and had not been socializing in Beijing. Now that she heard the news, she immediately rushed back to Beijing to follow up on the progress of the incident.

Her first stop was to go back to her parents' home. Chu Hao Ning and Xiao Yue Rong happened to be coming over, and Madam Yu had wanted to invite her home for dinner, but she didn't expect it to be a coincidence.

"My eldest brother-in-law is fighting in the army. I originally wanted to ask you to go home and settle down, but Manager Deng said that you went to Shijue Temple to pray for my brother-in-law. You are rarely seen on weekdays, but I met you today." As soon as Xiao Yueshan entered the room, Madam Yu took her aside to talk to her.

At the morning court today, Zhao Lingji indeed recommended Chu Hao Ning as the grain escort officer to go to Jianzhou for support. Prime Minister Song Pu could not object openly, so he only arranged for the Ministry of Revenue to raise military supplies as soon as possible.

Since the Minister of Revenue Meng Zhengcheng had already surrendered to Chu Yuanming, he was still clear about the right and wrong issues and had ordered people to transfer grain from the nearby Yangzhou Prefecture as soon as possible.

The Tongzhi of Yangzhou Prefecture is Zhou Yao's father, and his son is also on the battlefield. It is impossible for him not to do his job diligently, so the grain can definitely be transferred.

After knowing Meng Zhengcheng's arrangement, Zhao Lingji and Shu Rongxue both breathed a sigh of relief.

Today, it was because Chu Hao Ning received the imperial order that he took his pregnant wife back to her parents' home to put her mind at ease.

The eldest brother-in-law has gone to the front line, and the second brother-in-law is about to go too. Why do her two daughters have such a miserable life? Mrs. Yu is very emotional. Her eyes were red before the dishes were served yet.

"Father and Mother, I will be escorting military rations to the front line in a few days. Yue Rong is going to give birth in just over a month, and I won't be around to take care of her. I hope you can forgive me." Chu Hao Ning raised his glass to toast Xiao Zheng and his wife.

"The battle ahead is a matter of national and family importance. You don't have to worry about it, my dear son-in-law. We will go to your house and look after Rong'er together with your mother-in-law." Xiao Zheng replied, and Madam Yu also raised her glass.

Xiao Yuerong looked very energetic. Although her belly was quite big, she could still walk and move freely, which showed that she was living well in the Chu family.

Seeing her husband talking to his parents, she also smiled and said, "The doctor said that my pregnancy is going smoothly and I will be safe. You can go with peace of mind, my husband. I still have my parents, mother-in-law, second brother, second sister-in-law, and sister in Beijing. With the whole family here, they can take care of me."

The second brother, Xiao Chaohuan, also brought his second sister-in-law home for dinner. After hearing this, he also said, "Rong'er is right. Brother-in-law, just focus on your work. The road ahead is dangerous, so you must pay attention to safety."

Speaking of the front line, everyone naturally thought of Zhou Yao, who was now in prison, and was also worried about Xiao Yueshan, who had a difficult life. It was really not easy for the couple. Not only were they rarely together, but Zhou Yao's missions were also so dangerous every time.

Xiao Chaohuan also comforted him, "Today, news came that Liangdu was recaptured. In addition to the generals who led the troops in the battle, my eldest brother-in-law, a civil servant, also made great contributions. It is said that he made a large crossbow that even Wuge's general Ge Tai was shot down from his horse. It is also said that he used a trick to attack the city with water, which is why Liangdu was captured so quickly. After this battle, he will definitely be rewarded when he returns."

Xiao Zheng also nodded and looked at his eldest daughter comfortingly: "Yao'er is blessed by heaven, I think he will be safe."

"Thank you, father and second brother." Although Xiao Yueshan remained calm, she was really worried.

"But if the war had been going smoothly, why was the army suddenly besieged in Liangdu?" she asked worriedly.

Xiao Zheng and Xiao Chaohuan were both speechless for a moment. The war with Wuge was a major event that attracted everyone's attention. The scholars in the court and even in the Imperial Academy were discussing it every day. But how should they explain it to Xiao Yueshan?

"The reason is not clear yet. It is normal for the war situation to change. The Prime Minister has ordered the Censorate to investigate the matter a few days ago. I believe it will be investigated thoroughly." Xiao Chaohuan quickly turned a blind eye. The second sister-in-law beside him also nodded. Her brother Peng Zhen was in the Censorate and said the same thing.

"Second brother is right," Chu Hao Ning also said, "The court has sent me to escort food and grass to provide support. As long as there is enough food and grass, this battle should be able to have an outcome soon."

"That's good." Xiao Yueshan nodded, but the worry in his heart did not diminish.

After dinner, Xiao Yueshan and his second sister-in-law Peng Wen chatted with their sister for a while. Chu Hao Ning had military duties to attend to and it was inconvenient for Xiao Yuerong to go back home as she was pregnant, so he accompanied Xiao Yuerong back home first.

"Sister, don't worry too much about your brother-in-law. He will definitely return safely." When they parted, Xiao Yuerong said while holding Xiao Yueshan's hand.

Xiao Yueshan nodded and said, "You should take care of yourself too. Tell your family if you have any problems. I will go to see you with my parents when the time comes."

"Yeah, I get it." Xiao Yuerong replied with a smile.

Xiao Yueshan felt a little relieved when she saw her sister's happy face. She believed that Zhou Yao would be fine and they would be reunited safely.

After seeing off his second brother and his wife, Xiao Yueshan also wanted to leave, but was kept by Madam Yu.

"Your father has been talking about you recently. Please stay with us for a while." Mrs. Yu said, holding Xiao Yueshan's hand.

Of course Xiao Yueshan had no choice but to agree.

The candlelight flickered as the family of three sat together and talked quietly.

"It's not appropriate to say this in front of your brother and sister today. Father wants to ask you, have you really been praying in Shijue Temple recently?" Xiao Zheng asked seriously. He loved his eldest daughter the most and seldom spoke to her with a stern face.

"Father and mother, please know clearly that our daughter is indeed not in Shijue Temple." Since Father and Mother Xiao had noticed it, she didn't want to lie.

"I didn't expect that you would hook up with the Princess of Jin. Do you know what she is planning?" Xiao Zheng looked angry and slammed the teacup on the table.

"Although my daughter does not know her entire plan, she has guessed it roughly. Of course, she was forced by the situation, but she was indeed afraid of implicating her mother's family." Xiao Yueshan felt really guilty. She had replaced the core of Xiao Zheng and his wife's biological daughter, but this couple treated her well. If Chu Yuanming and his wife failed, the Xiao family might indeed be implicated.

"Ah..." Xiao Zheng sighed heavily and didn't say anything else.

Mrs. Yu took over the conversation, "Don't blame Shan'er. The world is difficult these days. When I went back to my parents' home a few days ago, my grandfather also said that he was in Huitong Hall every day during the peace talks. It was very difficult to be an official there."

Madam Yu's grandfather was Yu Zhang, the Minister of the Honglu Temple. When Xiao Yueshan heard about the peace talks, his eyes lit up: "What else did my great-grandfather say? Why is it so difficult?"

Hearing that she was still asking, Xiao Zheng was furious: "You're still asking?! Is this something you, a girl from an aristocratic family, should ask?"

Seeing that he was really furious and might have frightened his daughter, Xiao Zheng softened his tone again: "As a father, I hope that you, as my daughter, will have a harmonious life and a happy family. You should stay away from these court battles if you can."

Xiao Yueshan understood Xiao Zheng's painstaking efforts, but she disagreed: "Father's intentions are good, but people eat grains and cereals, and we are not fairies in heaven who are not tainted by the mundane world. Since we cannot transcend the mundane world, and these mundane affairs are closely related to our fate, why can't a woman fight for it in this world?"

Xiao Zheng looked at his daughter as if he had just met her on the first day.
