Exile is exile, is half of the capital enough as compensation?

Leng Youran took Huo Tong and others back to his house, and asked Huo Tong to select twenty people overnight. Ten of them would guard in the dark, and the remaining ten would start training the recruited people early the next morning.

Early next morning

Leng Youran took Huanhuan to the yard where Hua Qinrou and the others were.

There are no plaques hanging in their courtyards, only the lane numbers.

After arriving at the house, Huanhuan went forward and knocked on the gate. The doorman was arranged by Xixi. When he saw it was Huanhuan, he led the two in without saying a word.

"Master Huanhuan."

"Well, this is the master."

"Master." The man clasped his fists and bowed to Leng Youran.

Leng Youran nodded lightly and followed Huanhuan to the backyard.

When Leng Youran came over, Hua Qinrou and the others had already gotten up.

Some were busy in the kitchen, and some were washing clothes.

Leng Youran stood at the gate of the courtyard, watching them, and asked Huanhuan sideways, "Isn't there anyone here to clean and wash clothes?"

"My Lord, this is the old lady's request. She said that they are no longer ladies and young ladies, so they should do some things on their own. They are also afraid that if the people they have brought here gossip and spread the news about the situation here, it will affect your future plans, so..."

Leng Youran understood after thinking about it. The old lady was afraid that if they were exposed, it would be even more dangerous for Old Man Leng and the others. What's more, they were a group of women and children. If they were really targeted, it would inevitably cause trouble.

However, as a junior, she naturally didn't want to see her family suffer, so she immediately instructed, "There are still many women in Nanshan Court who may not be suitable for martial arts training. Let's see if their character can pass the test in the next two days, and then arrange for a few of them to come over."

"Yes, master."

"Ran'er..." Hua Qinrou's voice came with a hint of surprise.

Leng Youran met her gaze with a smile on his face, "Mom, Second Aunt..."

Everyone who was busy heard Hua Qinrou's exclamation, and soon the yard was full of people.

Leng Youran looked at them one by one and saw that although they were wearing coarse linen clothes, everyone was in good condition.

"Hurry, let Raner come in and talk." The old lady's voice also came from the house.

When Leng Youran entered the house, she saw that Old Madam Leng and Madam Li had just dressed up and were looking outside the door with anxious looks on their faces.

"Grandma, Madam Li."

"Hey, hey, good boy, you finally made it here. It must have been very hard along the way!"

Madam Li also stepped forward, took her hand, and asked with concern, "You have worked hard these days."

Leng Youran looked at the people holding her on both sides and smiled, "It's okay, I'm fine."

Madam Leng looked at the group of people and said, "Let's chat with Ran'er first. You guys go and deal with the things at hand. Ran'er must not have eaten yet since he came so early. Go and prepare some food..."

The old lady gave orders one after another as if she were at home.

Hua Qinrou and Ye Yushuang greeted Leng Hanxiang, Leng Qiuling and Leng Youran and went to the kitchen. Madam Li also winked at Song Nanshu and the others.

Then everyone dispersed.

Chen Yan'er stood there and looked at Leng Youran for a while, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't.

Leng Youran noticed her gaze and said, "Miss Chen, you should stay too."

Seeing Chen Yan'er about to turn around at the door, Old Lady Leng said, "Child, stay and listen to your father and the others' situation."

Chen Yan'er turned around and bowed to them, then walked over to them in small steps and sat down.

"Grandfather and the others are fine, Li Tianze and the others are fine too, and Lord Chen will not be in danger if he follows them along the way..." Without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Leng Youran told them everything he could about the current situation of Grandpa Leng and the others.

Of course, the battle in the Three Gorges Bay was definitely not described in detail.

However, Madam Leng and Madam Li were not fools. After hearing that almost all the branches of the Chen family were killed in the exile team and that the Fang and Li families also lost a lot of people, they roughly guessed what had happened.

However, the people they cared about were fine, and the others only felt sorry for them in their hearts.

If it weren't for the presence of Old Man Leng, Li Tianze and Leng Youran along the way, they would probably have become one of those people.

When Chen Yan'er heard that the Chen family members who had been bullying her on the road were dead, there was no special expression on her face.

But Leng Youran was close to her and could clearly hear her breathing become a little rapid when she heard these words.

"Miss Chen, are you used to being here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Miss Leng. It's great here. If it weren't for Miss Leng, maybe, maybe I..." Chen Yan'er didn't finish the rest of the words. Her eyes were a little red, but she tried hard not to let the tears flow.

Leng Youran knew what she wanted to say, which was that if it weren't for her, perhaps she would be one of those who died.

Leng Youran had no comment on this. According to the nature of the Chen family's side branches, it would definitely happen that they would push her out to block the sword.

After all, didn’t the old lady of the Chen family use several of her grandchildren to block the swords in order to barely stay alive?

Although she died later, her actions at the time really shocked others.

She reached out and patted Chen Yan'er's back a few times. "Don't think too much. Those annoying people are dead. Your future will get better and better. I'll find some servants to come over in a few days, and then you'll be able to relax a little."

When Old Lady Leng heard that she was going to ask someone to come over, she waved her hand and said, "Good child, with our current identities, it would be bad if too many strangers entered here. We can do these things ourselves, don't worry."

"Yes, girl from the Leng family, we are just dealing with some simple trivial matters here. There is no need to arrange for anyone to serve us. This is good. We will feel more at ease if we can do some things." Mrs. Li also agreed.

Even Chen Yan'er nodded in agreement, "Yes, Miss Leng, there's really no need to arrange any more manpower here. We can spend every day together chatting about family matters and handling some trivial matters, and time will pass faster."

Chen Yaner's words expressed the thoughts of these people.

Madam Leng nodded. "Well, just like Yan'er said, if we have nothing to do and sit still, we tend to have wild thoughts. Look, they are all busy chatting and laughing now, so they won't worry about your grandfather and the others. This is good. There's no need to deliberately ask people to come over."

Leng Youran looked outside in the direction pointed by Old Lady Leng, and sure enough, she saw Hua Qinrou and Song Nanshu talking and laughing together.

Although they were busy with their own work, the smiles on their faces never faded.
