The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

When Jingxue woke up from her afternoon nap, the light rain was still drizzling. She thought that some work at the construction site probably couldn't be done.

However, more rain in spring is excellent for farming, as the saying goes, "Spring rain is as precious as oil!"

Just then, Xiaoman came in and said, "Li Jun is here!"

Jingxue wondered why he came alone. Had the negotiations fallen apart?

Upon exiting the palace, she noticed that Li Jun's hair was slightly damp. "Greetings to Your Highness, the Princess!"

“Uncle, no need for formalities. I’ve already said we’re family, no need for this. Please sit down! Why didn’t you bring an umbrella?” Jingxue said as she sat down.

"Alas! I was bored standing in the palace, so I wandered over here and disturbed Your Majesty's rest," Li Jun said as he sat down.

"After being separated for so long, the uncle should spend more time with them, mother and child."

"I know, I only came out while the three of them were taking a nap."

Seeing the worry on Li Jun's face, Jingxue knew he had something to say and waited for him to speak.

Sure enough, Li Jun continued, "Seeing that the three of them are all well, I feel much more at ease. I just didn't expect Nan Lanyuan to have such a noble status. I am not good enough for her."

Upon hearing his words, Jingxue's lips curled into a mocking smile. This damned class consciousness was truly deeply ingrained. They had already had two children, yet they still talked about whether they were good enough or not.

"What are your plans for the future?" Jingxue asked.

“Lan Yuan will never come back to the Li family with me, and she won’t let Sun Hua go either. Actually, Xue’er, to be honest, I have no feelings for Sun Hua, but I do feel a little guilty. Marrying her was just because I couldn’t disobey my mother. I’ve always neglected her, which is the main reason why she attacked Lan Yuan and the others. It’s all my fault.”

Jingxue had previously thought that Li Jun's reason for fearing that divorcing Sun Hua would have a negative impact on his uncle was a bit far-fetched, but now it seems that his inner guilt was the main reason.

"Uncle, I understand how you feel, but have you thought about what would have happened to Lan Yuan if she hadn't been rescued and the two children hadn't met me?"

“Even if you neglected her, does that mean she should have harmed that mother and her two children? She’s so capable, why didn’t she do it to you? She should hate you for not handling things properly,” Jingxue said mercilessly.

“I… Your Majesty is right.” Li Jun sighed.

"Furthermore, given Nan Yuan's status, killing Sun Hua would be as easy as crushing an ant. Besides, Sun Hua doesn't seem to have been wronged."

"After listening to Your Highness's words, I've come to a decision. Let Nan Yuan make the decision!"

Jingxue thought to herself, "This is not something you can control at all."

"What are your plans for the future?"

“Nan Yuan said that national affairs are of utmost importance. She has already informed His Majesty today that negotiations will begin tomorrow. As for our matter, we will decide after the negotiations are completed. Whether or not it is decided, I definitely cannot keep the children. I am just worried about the safety of the two children if war breaks out.”

“Once they arrive in Nanzhao, they become imperial grandsons of immeasurable nobility; your worries are unnecessary.”

“Lan Yuan said that after dealing with Sun Hua, I should go back to Nanzhao with him. I… I don’t know what to do. This happened so suddenly, and Lan Yuan has changed. She used to be a very gentle woman.”

Jingxue snorted, "As a mother, if someone tries to hurt her child, even the gentlest person would fight back. That's normal!"

“I think I’m just a small business owner, completely ignorant of officialdom and court affairs. I didn’t achieve anything even if I went to Nanzhao. I…I…” Li Jun couldn’t continue.

"You lack confidence?"

“Yes!” Li Jun nodded sincerely.

"Also, Lan Yuan will probably become an empress in the future. Will she also have a harem?"

Jingxue burst out laughing, "Uncle, it's alright. With three palaces and six courtyards, you're the empress too, haha!"

"Xue'er, don't joke about your uncle!" Li Jun's face turned red.

"Uncle, put away your kindness! Sun Hua must be punished as she deserves, so don't worry about that. As for going to Nanzhao, if you don't want your child to call someone else 'Dad,' then you should go. You have to be strong yourself to succeed. You need to become powerful, use your own advantages, and acquire some skills."

Li Jun said somewhat uncertainly, "But all I know is how to do business."

"Having a keen eye for business is a skill, isn't it? Doesn't a country need financial resources? If you can help Lan Yuan manage Nanzhao's finances, wouldn't that be a boost? She won't look down on you then. Besides, you have family to rely on!" Jing Xue said seriously.

"Xue'er, what you said makes sense!" After Jingxue said that, Li Jun seemed to have gained some confidence and straightened his back.

Jingxue thought for a moment and said, "For An'an and Yingying to have a complete family and grow up healthily under the care of their parents, I will help you, Uncle. Don't have so many worries!"

A smile finally appeared on Li Jun's face. "I still benefited from An'an and Yingying's kindness. An'an is a very sensible child and is very lovable. After seeing us, she cried her heart out, as if... Sigh, she even had a fever at night, and Lan Yuan stayed up all night to keep watch over her."

Jingxue was also moved by what she heard. It is true that children should stay with their parents. No amount of fine clothes and delicacies can replace parental love. An'an is so sensible, but when he sees his parents, he lets go of all his pretense and strength. After all, he is only nine years old.

“Uncle, this time Nanzhao came to ask for help to defend against the invasion of the foreign tribes. I have a method that should make the foreign tribes retreat without a fight. I want to teach it to you so that you can establish yourself in Nanzhao and no one will dare to underestimate you in the future.”

Li Jun was both excited and worried. "Xue'er, can I do it?"

"If you remove the 'ma' at the end, then remember this: take life and death lightly, and if you can't do it, just do it! It's not a big deal. If you're afraid of everything, you won't get anything done."

"Okay! If it doesn't work, then let's do it!" Li Jun clenched his fist as if cheering himself on.

“That’s right. Besides, you don’t need to be afraid of doing business. Tell Lan Yuan that once the war is over, we’ll open up border trade so that people from both countries can do small business with each other. I will also provide you with all the necessary conveniences. The two countries can exchange goods and services, which will be a win-win situation and will gradually lead to prosperity.”

Li Jun nodded, "Yes! It's good to do business openly and honestly. It saves people from losing their lives trying to smuggle things. It's good to buy and sell normal goods normally."

"Uncle, you must keep what I'm teaching you a secret for now. It's your talisman. I will recommend you to the Emperor when the time is right, so that you will have a more legitimate claim."

Li Jun stood up and formally bowed to Jingxue, "Thank you, Your Highness! Lan Yuan is right, you are our family's benefactor."

"Alright, Uncle, don't be so polite with me. I hope your family will have a smooth life and never be separated again. Come on, let me show you something new."

Jingxue and Li Jun didn't even have dinner. They operated the drone until almost 8 p.m., when Li Jun finally mastered it and reluctantly returned to Yidong Palace.
