Wait for me, and watch me fight my way back to the reincarnation path

"A corrupt court, like a stagnant pool of water, has nothing wrong with its demise. Wouldn't it be good to replace it with a better court? This is the progress of the times. Xiaoyan just wanted to do something for the people out of compassion, but..."

"He did what he wanted to do, but he didn't know the root cause of the problem, so he could only try his best to stop a chariot. In the end, he got this result, which is not bad..."

"Perhaps, it is supposed to be this way. The building is about to collapse, the flood is overwhelming, and no one can stop it..."

Qin Qiong said softly. To be honest, she felt very sad for Xiaoyan.

"......Alas!" Mr. Yu looked at her for a long time and finally let out a long sigh.

"However, with such changes, the people who suffer are ordinary people like us. I really don't know what the situation will be like when the time comes, as you said."

Qin Qiong raised his head and looked out the window. "Of course it won't be good at the beginning, but as far as the country is concerned, this process is just labor pain, and it will pass if we grit our teeth. Moreover, there is a great chance that there will be a long-term stable world in the future, and then the lives of the people will get better. That's the right thing to do, isn't it?"

"……is that so?"

"Of course, don't mention that the State of Wu and the State of Yang share the same origin. Let me tell you, even if the foreigners come here, they can be educated and tamed by the Han people, and will eventually be wiped out by the Han people... You don't have to worry about your ancestors."

Thinking of the great country of future generations where there would be great national integration, Qin Qiong told Mr. Yu responsibly.

"You, now just think about how to survive."

Looking back at the 5,000-year history of Chinese civilization, the Han people have been invaded from time to time by various parties, and have even been in danger of genocide several times. However, in the end, Chinese civilization has weathered all kinds of vicissitudes and storms and has finally stood firm.

Those invasions and wars actually made China's territory bigger and bigger... So Qin Qiong was not worried about this at all.

"That……"

"General Yan will solve his own problems. You don't have to worry about him. Just respect and thank him sincerely. Your Yu family still needs people like you who have a conscience and responsibility to pass on the legacy. So, take care of yourself first."

"..."

The next day, Qin Qiong said goodbye to Mr. Yu and returned to He's house.

She thought about it and realized that if Xiaoyan was not doing well again this time, then she would most likely come back to find her again. In that case, it would be the same for her wherever she was. However, she really couldn't let go of Xuan'er.

Even if Xiaoyan came back and everything started over again, Qin Qiong didn't want a child as young as Xuan'er to suffer any misfortune.

Mr. Yu told her what had happened in the He family's house. She felt her scalp tingling when she heard it. All the dead were women and children.

Moreover, they all died miserably.

Whenever Qin Qiong thought of Xuan'er, the little person who might have suffered such harm, she would think of the little girl's suicide, and her heart would ache, making it difficult for her to control herself.

So, she returned to the He Mansion. She had promised the eldest young lady that she would protect Xuan'er.

As soon as she came back, the eldest young lady called her over. The two of them went into the house and closed the door. The eldest young lady told her with some concern that the young master was going to Yangguo and the fourth young lady might be back.

"I know about the young master," Xiaojuzi smiled. She knew about the marriage between the two countries, but she forgot that there was a young lady in the He Mansion who could have become a noble lady.

"So, there won't be any more wars, right?"

"I suggest you take Xuan'er away. It's not because of the war, but because this place is not suitable for women and children to live in. If you like it here, wait until Xuan'er grows up and then come back. By then, everything should be fine." Xiaojuzi had to persuade the eldest young lady again.

"Yes, I know. However, the eldest young master wrote to me and said... here, the young master released all the concubines in the mansion because of the marriage. I heard that..."

"how?"

"Some of those concubines are daughters of high-ranking families, so I heard that they all wanted to commit suicide. Madam wanted me to wait for the fourth young lady to come back and persuade her..."

"Why, they won't let you go?"

"Yes, so, if this war doesn't start, then will it be..."

"I don't know..." Xiaojuzi frowned.

She left the He Mansion very early last time. She didn't know what happened here afterwards, but somehow she always felt uneasy and always wanted to leave.

"If you must leave, you can only wait until the fourth young lady comes back."

"That's the only way." Xiaojuzi thought for a while and finally said, "We still have to be careful. If someone gets sick in the near future, we have to move out of the house immediately. We can't delay."

"Okay, I understand. I'll tell them to be careful."

After that, Xiaojuzi never left the He Mansion again, and she almost never left the young master's side.

Almost two months passed, and the fourth young lady, who had been to the capital and was sent back, returned home.

Also returning at the same time were the second master's wife, three concubines, and children. The eldest young master had sent them back.

At the same time, they also brought back the wives and three children of the two eldest masters.

Xiaojuzi didn't care about these. She just knew from the people who came back from outside that although the war had not broken out, the number of refugees was increasing because the impact of the previous war was gradually showing up.

There has been a riot among the victims near the Acropolis, and the government has sent out soldiers to suppress it. The Acropolis is now in great turmoil, so the second wife took her family and children back to the old house, thinking that this country place might be safer.

The eldest young mistress did not show any dissatisfaction or resentment towards the eldest young master's two concubines and children, because she didn't care about these things at all now. Political affairs, people's livelihood, and this house, and most importantly, Xuan'er...that was what she cared about.

As soon as the eldest lady heard the news about the mob, she immediately called Xiaojuzi.

"Recently, I've been feeling uneasy and always feel like something's going to go wrong. What do you think?" The eldest young lady said to Xiaojuzi worriedly.

"Me too..." Xiaojuzi nodded. Recently, she started having nightmares.

"What should we do? This..."

"How about we go find my sworn brother?" Xiaojuzi said, "It's a little far, but it's okay now. I know it will be safe there."

"This..." The eldest young lady didn't know what to say. How could she follow Xiaojuzi to live with a foreign man?

"How about I take Xuan'er back to Shangjing?"

"That's fine, we have to leave here first anyway."

"Okay, I'll write the letter now," the eldest young lady immediately took action.

The eldest young lady had thought about returning to the capital before, but her father was ill and her mother could not make the decision, so it was her grandmother who made the decisions on family affairs.

However, the aunt who gave birth to my father's eldest son was arranged by my grandmother, so now that aunt is the one who makes the decisions in the family.

Thinking about the mess at home, she would rather not go back. But now...

She privately checked the local chronicles, which clearly recorded the major events that had taken place in Anshun over the past hundred years.

She really did find out some bits and pieces about this house, and knew that something had indeed happened here in the past, and that the time intervals were always more than 20 years, which seemed to be in a regular pattern.

So, she believed what Xiaojuzi said very much.
