Awesome! My best friend traveled through time and space and became the infrastructure queen

"Ah Shun!"

"Qingshan!! You're here."

The two brothers hugged each other, and Ah Shun's eyes inexplicably turned red.

"Why are you crying, kid?"

"Why did I cry? The wind blew my eyes." Ah Shun said stubbornly, turned his head and wiped his eyes.

Qingshan put his arm around his shoulders and praised him, "Not bad, there's no chaos even with so many refugees, and the porridge stall is in good order! When the prince comes back, I will definitely praise you in front of him."

Ah Shun's lips were pressed into a long line, his shoulders drooped, and he looked really tired. "This is much more troublesome than practicing martial arts. Come on, I'll leave it all to you. I'm going to catch up on some sleep."

"Isn't it?!"

"Brother, those who are capable should do more work. Thank you for your hard work."

Since he was a child, A Shun has hated these clerical tasks and wished he could practice martial arts every day. If the prince had not sent his eldest and second brothers away, A Shun, the fourth brother, would not have to take on the responsibility.

"You sleep for a while, I'll call you for dinner tonight."

"Okay, got it."

On the other side, Su Chengnan was paying his respects to Han in the carriage.

Han's old injuries hadn't healed, and she'd incurred new ones. Mi Feng helped re-treat the wounds, took her pulse, and wrote a new prescription for her to prepare. Nanny Han and Chun Yu also had a cold, but the child was well cared for and remained healthy.

"You guys take a good rest for two days first. I'll ask Nianqiu to come and help take care of mother. Leave your younger brother to me." Su Linhua said.

"That won't work." Nanny Han shook her head.

"It's all right. With my elder sister here at the porridge stall, nothing can go wrong. It's not hard to make porridge, so I won't be needed. You guys should take care of yourself quickly. When we set out again, I'm afraid the journey will be difficult."

Su Chengnan nodded, "Go ahead, go and have a good rest. Once you have enough energy, your mother and brother will need your care later."

Now when she spoke in front of the Su family, the servants all obeyed her. Nanny Han and the other two did not dare to refute her, so they had to get off the carriage obediently and go to the next carriage to catch up on their sleep.

"Mom, go get some rest and have some sleep. Everything will be fine with me here."

"Yeah." Han had been worried all the way, but now that she saw her, she felt relieved. She patted her hand and said, "Nan'er, thank you for your hard work."

Su Chengnan smiled and said, "What are you talking about, mother? We are all family, and whatever I do is my duty. Go to sleep well."

After a while, when she fell asleep, Su Chengnan got off the car to see Su Yutong and the others.

The servants in Luo City left the city just in time, and as they had not dared to rest for two days and two nights, they managed to catch up with the team. However, among the prince's guard of honor, they kept their identities hidden and kept a low profile, and had little sense of presence.

"Sister!"

"Eldest sister, I finally see you, are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Are you and your aunts all right?"

"Everything is fine." Su Mingyu straightened his chest and spoke first. Compared to the beginning, this child not only seemed to be braver, but also began to take responsibility.

"Yes, the two brothers take good care of us, and we are all fine." Su Yutong tilted her head back, her voice crisp and very cute.

Su Chengnan touched her head and said, "That's good."

"Sister, who is the child who came back with you? I think he speaks very interestingly. Can we play with him?" Su Mingmin asked.

After he finished speaking, Su Mingyu glanced at him, then looked at Su Chengnan with some anticipation.

Su Chengnan looked at them meaningfully and asked, "Tell me the truth, do you want to play with him, or are you interested in his husband?"

The two young men blushed. "We once learned the poem that gentleman just recited back home. But the teachers back then didn't tell such a long story like this one..."

"So your real interest isn't in wine, but in Mr. Sun. You want to study, right?"

Su Mingyu coughed lightly and nodded, "That's right! We want to study! Not only do we need to practice martial arts, but we also need to study! We asked Uncle Fu, and if we want to overturn Dad's verdict, we must take the imperial examination. Although it's difficult, we also want to give it a try."

Su Chengnan was very surprised that they actually thought this way! For a moment, she couldn't help but feel a little moved. She must learn these words to Su Weimin and let him see how outstanding her good son is.

"Good children! This Mr. Sun is an old friend of Dad's. He will come with us in the future. I will take you to meet him later. Whether he is willing to accept you as his disciple is up to you."

"Yes! My younger brother will never embarrass my elder sister."

"What happens to you has nothing to do with me. Just don't embarrass yourself. You have to earn your own face, okay?"

"I know! Then let's go wash up and change into clean clothes."

"Well, let's go."

After everyone left, Su Chengnan squatted down and hugged Su Yutong into his arms, and asked her softly: "Tell me, elder sister, does Aunt Chen still beat or scold you for no reason?"

Su Yutong was stunned, her eyes suddenly reddened, and then she shook her head: "No, Auntie treats Tong'er very well, she...she didn't."

Su Chengnan was such a shrewd person. The bruise and expression on the child's sleeve had already told her the truth. She hugged her and gave her a candy. "Go, your second sister just called you. Go find her."

"Second sister is calling me? Okay, I'll go now."

"Ah."

Su Chengnan watched the little girl run away, and the smile on her face suddenly disappeared. She called Aunt Chen out of the carriage with a cold face.

"Miss, are you looking for me?" Aunt Chen bowed.

"Did I warn you not to hit or scold the child?" Su Chengnan glared at him, his voice tinged with frost.

Aunt Chen shuddered, feeling a little frightened from the bottom of her heart. "I...the child was disobedient, so I said a few more words."

"It was just a few words. Why are her wrists covered in bruises? Don't tell me she fell or pinched herself."

"I..." Her knees softened and she knelt down. "Miss, I, I, I am guilty. I can't control myself. I won't do it again."

Su Chengnan took a step forward and stepped directly on her hand. "Does it hurt?"

hiss--

Aunt Chen took a deep breath and said, "No...it doesn't hurt."

Su Chengnan's face darkened as he crushed her several times with his feet. "Remember this feeling. If you hit her, she will only feel more pain than this. Since you gave birth to her, treat her well, otherwise..."

"Yes, yes, yes! I understand. I really won't dare to do it again in the future." Aunt Chen trembled.

It was indeed difficult for her to control her emotions. Whenever she was punished by the Madam, she could not help but vent her anger on Su Yutong. She complained more than once why she was not allowed to give birth to a boy. If she had a son, perhaps the Madam would treat her better and life would not be so difficult.

But now, Tong'er, this girl, didn't know how she had won the favor of the eldest lady, and she had warned herself more than once for her. When Aunt Chen faced Su Chengnan now, she couldn't explain why she didn't even have the courage to look him in the eye. She was afraid that if she wasn't careful, she would be kicked out of the team by the eldest lady. She knew that Su Chengnan was really capable of doing it.

And Su Chengnan seemed to have a kind of magic. Whatever she wanted to do, everyone around her would agree with her...

For example, when she said the porridge at the porridge stall was too watery and asked them to add more rice, those people literally opened a bag of rice and poured it into the pot without saying anything?!

The guards of Ningyuan Palace are really weird. They are treating Su Chengnan like... a master?

She couldn't understand why.

She just felt that the current Su Chengnan was no longer the woman who used to stay in her boudoir all day to recuperate.

She couldn't afford to offend him, so she had to be nicer to Su Yutong from now on...
