Eavesdropping on Fu Bao's inner thoughts, emptying the stored grain and fleeing the famine

Another month passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Lian Rongrong led all the Lian family members to dig secret tunnels and build a village.

The once dilapidated village has taken on a new look thanks to everyone's efforts in building it up.

After the house was repaired and reinforced, it took on a unique charm.

All the furnishings and decorations in the rooms are brand new. Every night, everyone can lie on the soft mattresses and relieve the fatigue of the day.

There is also a separate house in the village that serves as the dining hall for everyone, and the large table and solid wood chairs in the dining hall are quite impressive.

Everyone gathers here during mealtimes, chatting and laughing, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

Everyone felt that the village was just as good as the general's mansion, except that it was smaller.

However, these are not the only things that make everyone proud.

On this day, the two teams led by Xiao Liu and Chen Si finally dug through the last underground passage in the village.

When Xiao Liu and Chen Si met in the secret passage, everyone was incredibly excited.

Over a full month and a half, the team turned what initially seemed like an impossible blueprint into reality.

Next came the reinforcement and widening of the secret passage. However, compared to the previous work, this was insignificant.

After all the work, both above and below ground, was completed, Lian Rongrong specially instructed the maids to prepare a whole table of dishes.

Not only that, she also brought out some novelties from the space. Things like luncheon meat, spicy chicken feet, and pig liver and trotters.

Of course, Rongrong claimed that she bought these things from a market on the border.

The dishes on the table were more abundant than those for the Lunar New Year. The old lady sat in the main seat, with Lian's mother and Lian Xiuyan sitting on either side.

The rest of the group sat around the table in order of their status. To celebrate the completion of the project today, even Rongrong made an exception and brought out some drinks.

After all the dishes were served, Lian Rongrong looked around at everyone, then slowly stood up, poured a glass of wine into her bowl, and said loudly:

"Everyone, the village's renovation is finally complete today. Lian Rong is extremely grateful for everyone's hard work over the past month."

This glass is a toast to everyone!

Lian Rongrong tilted her head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

The old lady and Lian's mother looked at the third girl with eyes full of satisfaction, while the eldest brother and sister-in-law were even more proud.

Seeing their young lady's reaction, the other members of the Lian family immediately stood up to express their gratitude and drank the wine in their bowls.

At this moment, everyone's face was filled with a satisfied smile.

Lian Rongrong put down her wine bowl and said to everyone with some regret:

"Today we should all be enjoying ourselves. But with Father and Second Brother not yet back, our safety cannot be fully guaranteed."

Therefore, I'll have to ask everyone to stop here. But don't worry, once Father and Second Brother return, and once we no longer have to worry about safety, I will definitely have a good, hearty drinking session with everyone!

"it is good!"

"I'll do as Miss says!"

Everyone around the table laughed heartily, their happiness visibly evident. Lian Rongrong treated them like family, so naturally, they were all willing to give their all for the Lian family.

After the meal, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Looking at the leftovers on the table, Lian Rongrong suddenly felt a little sad and worried.

Lian Jinghuai and Lian Yicheng have been out of contact for over a month. Lian Rongrong has no idea where they are or whether they are safe.

"What are you thinking about?" Lin Chuyue asked, carrying Fu Bao as she approached Lian Rongrong.

Lian Rongrong took Fu Bao and sighed. She and her sister-in-law talked about everything, so naturally there was nothing she didn't know.

"Sister-in-law, I'm a little worried about Father and Second Brother. I wonder how they are doing now."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chuyue couldn't help but frown.

"Yes, it's been over a month. But you don't need to worry too much; after all, they're going to find the First Prince."

The eldest prince has been a hostage in Shang for many years, and his life must have been incredibly difficult. Finding him and bringing him out of Shang should not be too difficult.

However, the second brother was very clever, and the father was calm and collected. Even if it was just to bring His Highness back safely, they would protect themselves.

Besides, it takes time to go back and forth; how could it be done so quickly?

Lin Chuyue's words of comfort made Lian Rongrong feel much better.

But just a moment later, even better news came from outside.

"Miss, there's a beggar at the village entrance. It seems there's news about the general and the young general."

"I'm coming right now." Upon hearing this, Lian Rongrong stood up abruptly, and the two women walked together towards the village entrance.

Besides Lian Rongrong, the servants also informed the old lady and Lian's mother of the news. Everyone rushed to the village entrance without waiting.

However, what no one expected was that at that moment, an uninvited guest had already entered Lin Chuyue's room.

After observing for a period of time, Wen Hui found that it was extremely difficult to make any changes to Lian Rongrong's diet or water.

Even Rongrong ate all the same food as everyone else, and Xia He kept a close watch on the kitchen.

If they were to take the risk and act rashly, they would likely be discovered very easily. As for the water, Lian Rongrong was even more cautious.

Every time, Lian Rongrong would have Chun Tao fetch fresh stream water to boil. If the water had been left overnight, or even if it had been sitting for a little longer, Lian Rongrong would replace it.

After much thought, Wenhui realized that Lian Rongrong only had one weakness: Fu Bao.

Wen Hui noticed that every time Lian Rongrong breastfed Fu Bao, she would taste it herself first.

Her caution, however, gave Wen Hui an opportunity.

Wen Hui didn't go directly to Lian Rongrong's room; instead, she went to Lin Chuyue's. This was her smartest move.

Because Fu Bao often stayed with Lin Chu Yue, Lin Chu Yue prepared a separate set of things that Fu Bao needed in her room for convenience.

The milk powder was one of them. Wen Hui sneaked into Lin Chuyue's room and mixed the medicine she had prepared in advance into the milk powder.

This is the same drug that Wen Hui gave to Wang Yue last time, but if this drug is inhaled directly, it will cause her to fall into a coma instantly.

However, if it is added to food, it will actually slow down the effects of the medicine.

After Wenhui finished everything, she hurried to the village entrance. Because the village was small, Wenhui's slight delay did not attract anyone's attention.

The beggar at the village entrance did indeed bring news of Lian Jinghuai and Lian Yicheng.

Lian Jinghuai's letter clearly stated that they had arrived in the capital of Shang Kingdom, but the person they were looking for had not yet been found. He and Lian Yicheng would remain in the capital for the time being to gather information and wait for an opportunity.

After receiving confirmation that the father and son were safe, Lian Rongrong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After giving the beggar food and money, she had someone send him out of the village.

Lian Rongrong and Lin Chuyue returned to Lin Chuyue's residence together. The two sisters-in-law are now like best friends and often chat together when they have nothing to do.

Little did they know that today's casual conversation would change everyone's fate.

While in Lin Chuyue's room, Fu Bao drank some formula again. Lian Rongrong, naturally, also had a taste beforehand.

Back in her room, Lian Rongrong felt her eyelids getting heavy, but this feeling was no different from her usual fatigue.

Therefore, Lian Rongrong only gave Chun Tao a single instruction before lying down on the bed and falling into a deep sleep!

However, when I woke up again, it was already the next morning.
