Don't panic if your home is confiscated or you are exiled, just empty the warehouse and stock u

Anyway, he would arrive in Yazhou sooner or later, so Jiang Siyu answered truthfully: "Sir Wei, you have been to Yazhou before, and you must know the sufferings there. The hardships of the people's lives are like a heavy stone weighing on my heart. Although I am only a scholar, my heart is to change the suffering of the people."

Upon hearing this, Wei Songhan's eyes flashed with approval, and he nodded slowly and said, "With the people in mind and lofty ambitions, you will live up to everyone's expectations in this exam. You will become a great man and benefit the people in the future."

It was not until they left the restaurant that Jiang Siyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They had a smooth journey afterwards, and after half a month, they finally arrived in the capital.

Jiang Siyu couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions when she stepped back into the place where she grew up.

The capital city was still brightly lit and bustling with people, but she had transformed from that ignorant girl into a tougher and more mature person.

"Brother Zhou, we have been through so much hardship along the way, thanks to your careful care."

"You're welcome." Zhou Lu waved his hand. "It's just a side mission."

Jiang Siyu was planning to say goodbye to the Red Fire Army soldiers and go find her sister first, but she heard a familiar voice behind her.

"Zhou Lu, you guys are finally back. I calculated that the time is almost up."

"Haha, Duan Yun, long time no see! It's been a long time since we brothers have sat around the fire drinking and chatting. Today we meet again, you have to make good arrangements to welcome us and have a good gathering."

"Of course. How can brothers gather together without wine and meat? Today, let me, Duan Yun, be the host. I will make sure you have a great time."

Having not seen each other for many days, Jiang Siyu felt as if she was in another world when she heard his voice. She had no intention of stopping, but instead hurried towards the crowd.

I could still vaguely hear the conversation between those people, "Who is that person?"

"Oh, he is the talented scholar whom we escorted all the way to Beijing in compliance with the prince's order, in order to seek fame and success in the imperial examinations."

Duan Yun's gaze pierced through the gaps in the crowd and looked at her figure.

There were no excessive waves in his heart, but when he turned around to leave, he involuntarily stayed for a few more breaths, his eyes deep and complex.

Jiang Siyu found the location of the manor according to the address on the letter. Although it was not as brightly lit as the city, it had its own elegant and refined beauty, lush greenery, like a paradise. The manor was hidden in the mountains, not conspicuous, but it had an indescribable nobleness and tranquility.

She knocked on the gate and was greeted by a familiar-looking servant who seemed to have worked in the Jiang residence before.

When the servant's eyes met Jiang Siyu, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he immediately called out, "Come quickly, look, our fourth young lady, Miss Jiang Siyu, is back!"

Jiang Siyu discovered that the servants, maids, and even the security guards who appeared before her were all old people from the Jiang Mansion, and she couldn't help feeling excited.

"Why...why are you all here?"

A maid replied: "It was the Third Miss who asked us to come back."

"Fourth Miss, come in quickly, it's windy outside." Taozhi pushed through the crowd and pulled her in.

Jiang Siyu shouted in surprise: "Peach Branch!"

"Miss Four, you know that Miss Three has long anticipated that you will be back soon, and has specifically instructed us to keep your residence in good order. Please follow me."

Jiang Siyu followed Taozhi and looked at everything familiar in the manor, and her heart couldn't help but jump for joy.

The furnishings in her room were exactly the same as before, and her sister even prepared a quiet study for her.

"Sister, she is so thoughtful. I wonder where she is now?"

Taozhi heard this and replied gently: "Miss San is busy outside at the moment and has not returned home yet, but please rest assured, Miss Er, she will meet you as soon as she finishes her work."

Jiang Siyu couldn't help feeling lost. She came here from afar, on the one hand to take the exam, and on the other hand to see her elder sister.

"Miss Fourth, a banquet has been set up in the front hall to welcome you. Please take a rest first. I will call you later."

"Thank you. You can go and take care of it first."

Everything around her seemed so familiar to her, as if she had returned to the Jiang Mansion that she had been missing so much.

Jiang Nianwei also quickly received the news of her sister's return in the palace. Baili Jingyao had gone to the palace to recuperate in the past few days and would not be back for the time being.

She used the excuse of practicing in seclusion, but actually slipped out of the palace and secretly returned to the manor.

After finishing her meal, Jiang Siyu was reading the books given to her by Wei Songhan in the study.

The courtyard outside the window is quiet, with only the wind blowing through the treetops, whispering the whispers of nature, and the constant rustling sound, adding a touch of liveliness to this quiet time.

A dark shadow flashed in the yard. Jiang Siyu's keen intuition made her raise her head involuntarily. Her eyes penetrated the window lattice, trying to catch the fleeting trace, but she only saw the moonlight like water, and all things returned to peace, as if the vision just now was just an illusion.

She prefers quietness when reading, and she has sent all the maids away, so there should be no one here.

"Who's there?"

No one in the yard responded, and Jiang Siyu thought she was having an illusion.

Perhaps she was too tired from the journey, so she planned to wash up and have a good sleep.

Jiang Siyu's heart shuddered, and she turned around immediately. In front of her, a man in a Taoist robe stood quietly with a meaningful smile on his lips. His eyes were deep and complex, staring straight at her, making her shiver involuntarily and get goose bumps all over her body.

She instinctively reached out to touch her waist, but stopped suddenly just as her fingertips were about to touch it.

The Taoist priest slowly raised his hand, touched her cheek with his fingertips, and gently tore off the layer of beard used for camouflage, revealing a face that she was very familiar with - it was her elder sister!

Jiang Siyu was very surprised and almost cried out: "It's you? Sister, your outfit really caught me off guard. At that moment, I thought there was an uninvited guest sneaking into the courtyard."

"It was indeed a strange and tortuous story. I was finally able to get rid of the shackles and get rid of those annoying surveillance."

Jiang Nianwei sighed softly, then gracefully turned sideways and slowly lay down on the carved wooden chair, as if all the fatigue and restraint were released at this moment.

Within the deep palace walls, she needs to keep her nerves tense at all times. Only in this warm place surrounded by her loved ones can she find the long-lost freedom and reality.

"When I heard the news of your return, I dared not delay for a moment. I just wanted to see you as soon as possible."

Jiang Siyu put down the gun. My heart was in my throat at that moment. Fortunately, it was a false alarm.

Jiang Nianwei then noticed the pistol, "Is this a new gadget made by Jing Zhuo?"

In fact, she knew what it was, but she didn't expect Jing Zhuo's progress to be so fast.

Jiang Siyu took over the conversation: "Not only that, she, my aunt, and my mother, I don't know what they are doing behind the scenes, it's so mysterious, I once saw a few big ones in her warehouse..."

Jiang Siyu vividly described the situation at that time. "You know what? I was really scared. There were clearly other people's voices inside, but no one was there. I searched for several times but couldn't find it. Could it be... there is a tunnel hidden in there?"

After hearing her description, Jiang Nianwei felt that Jing Zhuo must have invented something new. Could that huge thing be a generator?

Jiang Siyu seemed to suddenly remember something and stuffed Jing Zhuo's letter into her hands. "This is the letter my cousin asked me to give you. She told me to hand it to you personally."

Jiang Nianwei opened the letter and read its contents, and was shocked.

Such a thing actually happened, which means that Jing Zhuo can now transport things back from modern times. This is a big deal!

The expression on her face could not hide her joy, but at the same time she was also worried. According to the date, she should be giving birth soon.

I wasn't there when my friend gave birth.

Moreover, Jing Zhuo did not mention a word about who the father of the child was.

"Those strange things you mentioned must be some inventions made by my cousin. Don't be surprised. Just prepare for the scientific examination now."

The reason why she supported her sister in disguising herself as a man to take the imperial examination was that she wanted to prove that even women were capable of achieving excellent results in the imperial examination.

Women are not only confined to the inner chambers, taking care of their husbands and raising their children.

Besides, her sister’s abilities were indeed not bad, and she had found her direction, so she was happy to see it happen.

"Of course I know that, but I really miss you, sister."

Jiang Siyu's words were choked with sobs, and she couldn't help but snuggle into that warm embrace, as if time had gone back and she turned back into the innocent little girl who depended on her elder sister.

"Sister misses you too. You've suffered a lot these days."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Siyu, who had been pretending to be strong, felt her eyes moisten. "It's not hard, not hard at all. It was because my elder sister protected me that I didn't suffer. Now that I've grown up, I should try to share your worries."

Jiang Nianwei touched her head, thinking of her sister's tragic death in her previous life and her growth now. She couldn't help but feel that everything she had done was worth it.

"You have really grown up, and you are married now."

Speaking of this, Jiang Siyu was stunned: "Han Qiu is a good person, he takes good care of me, sister, you must not be angry with him, I had no choice at that time, only Han Qiu was willing to help me."

"When did I take my anger out on him? I am very grateful to him and will work hard to cure his illness and repay your kindness for you."

"It's just..." Jiang Nianwei hesitated for a while, then slowly said: "Your marriage is ultimately a mistake. Sister hopes that you can find the person you really like. I just think that you are a kind girl, but you don't have to be coerced by kindness and force yourself."

"I didn't force it, not at all." Jiang Siyu shook her head, "I also understand what you mean, sister. After the scientific expedition is over, I will sort it all out."

"Ah."

Jiang Siyu was still young and had little experience in relationships, but she eventually grew up.

Jiang Siyu pulled her aside again and began to tell her about her experiences along the way. "You don't know how horrible it was. I was almost scared to death, but I still shot them to death."

Although she said it calmly, Jiang Nianwei could feel how tense the situation was.

And Jiang Siyu was able to face all this so bravely and even killed two people with her own hands.

"Yes, they are all evil people. You are right to do this. If you don't kill them, you will be the one who dies. You must be more careful in the future."

"Fortunately, my elder brother taught me some boxing and kicking skills, and with this pistol as a protection, I can barely handle it."

The two of them chattered on and on, and no one knew how much they said until they felt Jiang Siyu's breathing gradually stabilized.

Jiang Nianwei moved very carefully, as if afraid to disturb the hard-earned peace, and tucked the quilt carefully for her sister.

The moonlight shines through the window lattice and shines on her soft profile, reflecting a hint of worry and expectation.

Judging from the time, the two elder brothers should be arriving in the capital soon, so the four siblings can finally be reunited. It's a pity that their parents did not come back, otherwise their family could be reunited in the capital.

Jiang Nianwei rarely leaves the palace, so she plans to go to Prince Yu's Mansion to see A Zhao again. The two have not seen each other for many days.

It was already late at night, and Baili Zhao was still practicing martial arts in the yard. The sword's light was like a thread, cutting through the tranquility of the night.

In fact, he was also angry in his heart. Although his feelings for Sanniang had never changed from the beginning to the end, he sometimes felt that his emotions were too passionate.

But Sanniang was always calm and composed, not anxious or impatient. Even when she saw me, she was still calm and composed.

Who would have thought that as a prince, I would be trapped by love.

Perhaps, he should act a little cooler in front of Sanniang to make her realize her importance.

Just when I was struggling with my feelings, I saw a familiar figure appear in front of me. It was Sanniang.

Baili Zhao was only pleasantly surprised, and all the worries he had just had disappeared immediately. "Sanniang, why are you here?"

"If you don't come to see me, I will come to the palace to see you."

After hearing this, Baili Zhao had a feeling that the fault was all his own.

No matter what, as long as Sanniang was willing to come to him, he felt extremely happy.

"A Zhao, how is the training of the Red Fire Army going?"

Baili Zhao put down the sword in his hand, knowing that she came here today to discuss serious matters.

"It's almost done. The gunners of those new-type turrets have already learned how to use them. We are just waiting for a large number of weapons to be delivered."

The moonlight tonight was exceptionally bright, shining on Ah Zhao's head, softening his originally cold temperament. Jiang Nianwei could see that his eyes seemed to be filled with stars.

Jiang Nianwei suddenly asked, "A Zhao, have you ever thought about sitting on the throne?"

Baili Zhao was shocked. If he said he had never thought about it, he would definitely be deceiving himself, because he also had pain buried deep in his heart.

He also wanted to sit in a position above everyone else and take revenge on those who had hurt him. In this way, he could also protect Sanniang, overturn the case for the Jiang family, and rescue those who had been wronged.

But now, such thoughts have faded.

"Why do you ask this, Sanniang?"
