Divorced woman with child travels through time

“Madam is right, something has indeed happened!” Ouyang Junyan did not hide anything from them and told them the whole story.

Jiang Mingyue's heart tightened, and she said to Ouyang Jin, "Your father is right. You should go out less these days. I'll have your uncle find you some playmates. Once they arrive, you can go to the Wang family."

Ouyang Jin nodded. He knew what was important and just wanted to avoid causing trouble at this time.

Jiang Mingyue felt quite gratified looking at Ouyang Jin's composed demeanor. "Now that you are seventeen, would my son be willing to arrange a marriage for you?"

Ouyang Jin looked at her in surprise, then at Ouyang Junyan. Ouyang Junyan nodded unconsciously. There were few people in the family, but it was a bit lonely. He also felt sorry for Jiang Mingyue and didn't want her to have any more children.

Ouyang Jin respectfully took a step back and bowed, saying, "I leave it to Mother to decide."

"Oh! My goodness! My son!" Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but tear up, feeling so fortunate to have such a wonderful child.

Not to mention that Jiang Mingyue and her husband began arranging a marriage for Ouyang Jin.

At the Anfu Si residence, Wang Er hurriedly went home.

"How is it? What's wrong with Xuan'er?" Wang Erniu's voice came in before he even entered the room.

"It's alright! Keep your voice down!" Chen Wenfang came out to greet him.

Wang Erniu tossed the riding whip to Wang Feng, strode forward, grabbed Chen Wenfang's hand, and asked as they walked, "What happened?"

"It's quite simple. A few kids got off the bus to play after school and went for a stroll. They were ambushed by two men in black. Hao was agile and dodged, but Xuan was hit in the leg by an arrow. It was also fortunate that Yu Yu wasn't feeling well today and didn't go to the academy, otherwise, with so many targets, many more would have been injured." Chen Wenfang explained the situation in a few words.

"Shot by an arrow? Was it poisoned?" Wang Erniu's face grew increasingly grim.

"No, thankfully the arrow wasn't poisoned, but there was a lot of bleeding. I found a doctor to remove the arrow, and I'm asleep now."

"It's not poisonous? It's not normal for him to be so soft-hearted." Wang Erniu muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Chen Wenfang asked, puzzled. Wasn't it better that it wasn't poisonous? If it were poisonous, her son would be gone.

"It's alright, I understand." Wang Erniu went into the room to check on the sleeping Chen Xuanyu. Seeing that Chen Xuanyu looked alright, he left the room, sat in the living room, poured himself a glass of water, and looked at the several hesitant figures behind the door. He called out softly, "What are you all looking at? Come in!"

"Father, it's my fault. I didn't protect Xuan-ge'er well." Xiao Hao lowered his head and admitted his mistake in a low voice.

"No, no, it's my fault. I hurt him." Fifteen quickly spoke up. "I will definitely practice martial arts hard from now on so that he won't need to protect me anymore."

"It's alright, it's alright, it has nothing to do with you!" Chen Wenfang couldn't bear to see the children upset, so she quickly comforted them.

Wang Erniu sighed, “Back then, your mother was always being assassinated. You children studied hard and practiced diligently, saying you would protect your mother. Now, after only half a year of peace, you have all forgotten. You spend your days eating, drinking, and having fun, neglecting your martial arts skills. So you are right, you are indeed wrong. No matter what, you should at least have the ability to protect yourself before you can have the spare energy to protect others!”

The two children lowered their heads in shame. Chen Wenfang said urgently, "Your father is right. Your mother hasn't practiced martial arts for a long time either. How about we practice together every evening after dinner for half an hour?"

"Okay, we'll listen to Mom!" Xiao Hao admitted his mistake and corrected it, and Shiwu also raised his hand in agreement.

Wang Erniu breathed a sigh of relief. "Good that you know. Go now. Be careful in the future. Things haven't been peaceful lately!"

"Okay, Dad!" Xiao Hao pulled Shiwu to guard Chen Xuanyu.

As they were talking, Chu Yi rushed back, accompanied by Cheng Xiang.

"Godfather, Godmother, how is Xuan-ge'er?"

"It's nothing, just a minor injury. Why are you back?" Chen Wenfang stood up. "Are you hungry? Have you had lunch? I'll go cook you something to eat."

"No, godmother, I'm not hungry. I'm going to see Brother Xuan!"

"Okay, go ahead!"

Wang Erniu looked at him with some surprise, and Cheng Xiang immediately bowed, "Greetings, General! Madam."

Wang Erniu nodded, "No need for formalities."

Chen Wenfang then noticed the big, goofy guy next to her. She didn't really recognize him; she'd completely forgotten that she'd seen him when they were surrounded in Anlefang. Seeing him staring at her with a silly grin, as if something was wrong, she could only smile and say, "Hello!"

Cheng Xiang chuckled and looked at her expectantly.

Is this something to say? Chen Wenfang looked at Wang Erniu somewhat awkwardly. Wang Erniu seemed lost in thought, rubbing his hands together.

Chen Wenfang turned around, and Cheng Xiang was still looking at her.

Chen Wenfang could only smile and say, "You came with Chu Yi, didn't he have lunch?"

"Yeah, he didn't eat, and neither did I," Cheng Xiang thought to himself. This kid has been talking about how delicious his godmother's cooking is all the way here. No matter what, I, Old Cheng, have to get a free meal today.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. You can eat here later!" Chen Wenfang said with a smile as she went to the kitchen.

"Hey, thanks a lot." Cheng Xiang rubbed his hands together and smiled.

Wang Erniu snapped out of his daze and gestured, "Second Master Cheng, please sit down!"

"Thank you, sir!" Cheng Xiang sat down as instructed, chuckling to himself.

Just then, Wang Erniu looked at him and said, "Second Master, you've come. I have something to ask of you; I hope you can help me investigate."

Cheng Xiang immediately stood up and bowed, adopting the standard subordinate's posture, saying, "Lord Wang, you're too kind. We are now all under Lord Chen's command. Please feel free to give any instructions."

"Oh, I forgot about that." Wang Erniu smiled faintly. "Quanzhou City has been rather unsettled lately. There are many people from your canal gang, so please keep an eye on things. If you see any strangers or anything strange, please let the prefect know."

"Of course, of course. My brother and I just ran into two shady people too. Adults should be careful when they go out."

"Oh?" Wang Erniu frowned. It seemed like quite a big fuss.

"Godfather!" Chu Yi came out from inside with a gloomy face.

"Brother Cheng, you just said you also encountered bad guys? Why didn't you mention that earlier?"

"I'm fine. That guy ran too fast. The South City is a gathering place for outsiders. He didn't succeed in one move and disappeared quickly. It's not easy to investigate like this. I've already told the patrol inspector. The prefect should send people to search." Chu Yi sat down with a thud and curled his lips. "Godfather, you're a big tree, so the wind is coming a little late."

"It's not that it's too late, it's that the bigger tree above has fallen!" Wang Erniu told him the news of Prince Gong's death.

"In that case, that guy surnamed He definitely won't let you off the hook."

"Definitely. As long as I live, I will be a threat to him. After all, he became commander by taking credit for my achievements." Wang Erniu smiled as he poured him tea, his rough hands stroking the armrest of the chair.

"But now that Prince Gong is dead, nobody knows about this anymore."
