Famine and exile: I brought the Spirit Spring to save the entire Marquis's mansion.

"Okay, okay, let go, it hurts so much!"

Sang Ning shook off his hand, her wrist was red from being gripped so tightly.

What kind of nerve is flaring up?

"What were you thinking just now? Why didn't you refuse?"

"Refuse what?" Sang Ning asked, puzzled.

On the boy's fair face, there was a mixture of forbearance and sadness, and deep in his eyes, intense emotions surged, burning and restless.

Sang Ning felt her heart beating faster and faster.

At this moment, he exuded immense pressure, like a wild beast locking onto its prey, enveloping her entirely in his unfathomable eyes.

"Since we don't have a restroom, let's go back."

She swallowed hard, her throat tightening, and tried to turn around and push the wheelchair.

My body was suddenly pulled by a force.

Before she could react, she was pushed backward until her back hit the tree.

A hand was placed in the middle, blocking the hard bark.

"Huo Chang'an! What exactly do you want..."

Sang Ning was stunned.

He stared in shock at the handsome face that appeared above him.

How come he's taller than her?

"Do you need servants? I am free from all illnesses and am no longer crippled! I am willing to be your servant and can do anything for you."

Really, it can do anything…

His voice grew lower and hoarse, his face gradually enlarging until it finally pressed against those lips that were slightly parted in shock.

The girl's eyes were wide open, looking blank, as if she hadn't yet realized what was happening.

And once he touched it, he was already addicted.

The wind rustled through the treetops.

Two birds were chirping to each other.

Apart from that, the world was quiet.

"Young master, are you over there?" The loud voice was like a thunderclap.

It exploded in their dizzy, floating minds.

Sang Ning suddenly woke up, bit down on the mouth that was trying to explore, and pushed away the boy who was pressing down on her with all her might.

She clearly saw that the boy was pushed back two steps, his legs firmly planted on the ground, his posture upright, like a pine tree or a sword.

He stood up!

She should be overjoyed, she should cheer, but at this moment, she only felt that the person who was so much taller than her was so unfamiliar, like a child who had suddenly grown up, completely different from the image she had in mind.

They also felt extremely oppressed.

Sang Ning cowardly ran away.

"Madam, you're here too..."

Yan Meng watched as Sang Ning ran away without looking back, as fast as a rabbit being chased by an eagle.

What's wrong? What bad thing did you do?

Turning around, I saw that there was already another person in the wheelchair.

"My lord, I just noticed the wheelchair is empty. Did the mistress help you to the toilet?"

When did he give them the impression of frequent urination?

Huo Chang'an glared fiercely at Yan Meng, who had appeared at an inopportune moment.

Yan Meng didn't notice that his gaze had already fallen elsewhere.

"My lord, your lips are bleeding?"

The boy flicked his tongue, and the tiny speck of blood vanished without a trace.

His sharply defined lips were more rosy and moist than usual, making him look handsome and alluring.

The four sons of the Huo family are all outstanding individuals.

The eldest son is as elegant as an orchid and as beautiful as a jade tree, bathed in moonlight amidst snow.

Erlang, a blazing hero, with an unyielding spirit.

Sanlang is bold and unrestrained, with a handsome and dashing appearance.

If we're talking about the most handsome, then it has to be Shiro.

Sometimes I think he's incredibly handsome, and other times I think... well, he's terrifying!

Yan Meng tightened his skin, and was immediately pulled back from his random thoughts by Huo Chang'an's gaze, remembering the important matter at hand.

"My lord, it's all arranged. The family of seven who were exiled from Zhongzhou have all been replaced by our people. They will arrive in Liangzhou tomorrow. We'll bribe the registrar with silver, and then let them choose Liuxia Village."

"Reliable? If something unexpected happens, can you quickly take your whole family out of the city?"

“They are all top-notch candidates. In addition, your double has also been chosen. Leave two hundred more people outside the city.”

Huo Chang'an nodded.

Liangzhou has 30,000 garrison troops, so unless attacked by the enemy, there shouldn't be any major problems.

He then asked, "Has your father sent another message?"

"not yet."

I reckon those letters have just arrived in Dad's hands, and it will be a few days before he replies.

At this moment, the two were unaware that although Yan Hu had not replied, someone from the capital was about to arrive in Liangzhou City with a message.

……

Several children were playing with locusts in the yard.

The locusts had their wings torn off and half their legs broken off, and they were lined up in rows to form an army.

One person leads one team.

Jinxiu shouted and drove the "locust army" to attack, making a mess of Jinxin's carefully arranged troops.

Jin Xin got angry, took two chicks from the vegetable garden, and ate Jin Xiu's Great General in one bite.

"Jin Xin! You're cheating! Pay me back my General!"

"You broke the rules first, I hadn't even said 'start' yet!"

"Alright, stop arguing, here's yours, sister's." Feng'er said gently.

He divided his "locust army" in two and gave both of them to the two men.

"Let's keep our voices down, Auntie is thinking about something," she whispered a reminder.

Sang Ning had been sitting there for a long time, staring at the locusts without moving, his mind completely elsewhere.

"Auntie Si must be thinking about what delicious food to make tonight."

The three little ones, thinking of the delicious burgers and fries, started slurping again.

Sang Ning stood up abruptly and cursed viciously, "That bastard Huo Chang'an! He ruined my Dao heart!"

Then she turned and went into the old lady's room.

"Why did Fourth Aunt scold Fourth Uncle?" Jinxin asked, puzzled.

"Fool, hitting is a sign of affection, scolding is a sign of love. Fourth Aunt is just showing love for Fourth Uncle." Jinxiu understood perfectly.

"What is love?" Jin Xin asked again.

Now even Jinxiu was confused.

The two of them looked at Feng'er at the same time.

Feng'er blinked, thought for a moment, and said, "Love... seems to be about kissing."

……

Sang Ning sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) hesitantly. "Mother, I have something to ask you."

The old lady is making clothes for the children.

She scratched her head with the tip of a needle and said without thinking, "Except for the fact that you want to sleep in a separate room from Silang, which is non-negotiable, I'll listen to you on everything else."

Sang Ning said awkwardly, "It's not about that."

"Mom, do my mom and dad know each other?"

Do your mother and father know each other?

That's a bit mind-bending!

Sang Ning then changed her question: "Do my biological mother and father-in-law know each other?"

“Of course we know each other. Didn’t I tell you that when your father went to Jingzhou, Sang Xiuqi and your mother went with him?”

When you came back, your father told me that your mother was a very virtuous and gentle woman, while Sang Xiuqi was scheming and said that Sang Xiuqi was not good enough for your mother.

He was right after all.

"Oh, my dad, he has such a good impression of my mom?"

“Your mother must be really good to say that. Your father doesn’t really like interacting with women, so that was the first time he’d ever praised a woman other than me.”

The old lady looked at Sang Ning and laughed again, "Virtuous and gentle? You and your mother are really not the same kind of people, hehehe..."

Ha ha ha ha...

Madam, why do I see grass growing on your head?

Sang Ning's smile looked more like a grimace.

"It's a pity that your mother became pregnant not long after returning to the capital and didn't show her face much, otherwise I would have liked to get to know her."

Later, the chance was gone.

She fell ill after giving birth to you and passed away not long after.

Sigh... That old man Sang Xiuqi said you weren't his biological daughter, but I don't believe it.

Given your mother's character, how could she possibly do anything inappropriate?

"That old bastard must be suspicious by nature, slandering your mother!"
