It used to be at home, but I don't know where it went.
"You can make the arrangements. I have already found Yunpeng. The old man will be back soon. Manager Liu and Madam Liu are also preparing a car to send the child back."
"Yes, mother."
"Let's use these for now. Once the news of the young emperor and empress dowager's deaths spreads, our old belongings will soon be returned."
"Such a large sum of money, are they willing to part with it?"
"What is wealth compared to life? Just wait and see."
The children were busy moving furniture, while she set up a stove in the yard and started cooking.
Half a pot of spring water and half a pot of mineral water were used to cook a whole pot of meat porridge, which was exceptionally tender.
I also prepared a few more plates of spiritual vegetables. My stomach had been empty for a long time, so I couldn't eat too much at once. This was enough.
Madam Lu and the old lady set up a large table in the courtyard, with bowls and chopsticks that Xiao Nan had taken out from his spatial storage.
Madam Lu told the old lady to sit down and rest. She set out the bowls and chopsticks and then called them over to eat.
The children ate the porridge served by their mother and grandmother, their emotions a complex mix.
Their mother, who was over sixty years old, was very capable, but in front of them, she was still the same mother she always was, without any airs, and she loved them with utmost care. They felt grateful but also a little ashamed.
As children, they have done nothing for their mothers; everything they have comes from their mothers, yet they constantly cause their mothers trouble. This is truly unacceptable.
But without their mother, they would surely have been tricked and killed.
Don't blame others; blame yourself for not being wary of others.
Xiao Nan saw through their little scheme and sat down beside them, saying softly, "Learn from your mistakes. If you haven't experienced betrayal before, then it won't be anyone else's fault if it happens again next time."
"Yes, mother,"
"Eat up. Let's get the accommodation ready first. We can talk about other things tomorrow. Everyone's had a long day. We'll discuss other things tomorrow."
This day was filled with surprises, murder, and the return home to peace. Everyone experienced all of this, and they will probably never forget it for the rest of their lives.
After everyone tidied up their bedrooms, they went to rest.
Xiao Nan was so tired that he told the old lady to go and rest as well.
She and Longlong arranged the furniture, restoring the manor to its original state as it had been when she left.
With a snap of her fingers, she set up a protective barrier, and the manor became spotless and immaculate.
I believe that this scenery will help the children relax when they wake up the next day.
Just then, there was a knock at the door outside the manor. Xiao Nan went to open it, and the shopkeeper and his wife drove over in a carriage with the children.
When they saw Xiao Nan, they were all moved to tears: "You're finally back."
"Yeah, I took care of some errands outside. Are you all doing well?"
"Good, good, you're still so young."
"Getting old."
"Are they all resting?"
"Yes, I suffered a bit in the capital,"
"Then my husband and I won't go back tonight. We'll put them to sleep here and spend the night with you."
"That would be perfect. Have you eaten yet?"
"They've eaten, they've eaten. I was thinking of coming earlier, but you haven't left anything here yet, so I wanted to take some time to pack up. They're still young and can't help, so I brought it over now."
"Come in, I've tidied everything up, Sister Liu, please stay in the same courtyard as before."
"Don't worry, the kids know me well, they understand things perfectly,"
At this moment, the children got off the bus and stared blankly at Xiao Nan. Madam Liu pulled a few of the children over.
"This is your own grandmother, you dare not call her that yet."
"grandmother!"
"Hey, come on, go and rest with your great-aunt. I'll cook for you tomorrow."
"Thank you, Grandma. You look so young and beautiful!"
"Haha, go and get some sleep with your great-aunt. You'll see your parents tomorrow!"
"Yes"
The carriage was led into the courtyard, and Xiao Nan closed the gate. The couple went to the side courtyard on their own, without her leading the way.
That night, she didn't sleep. Instead, she stood on the roof, looking down at the abandoned farmland overgrown with weeds, at the desolation of Zhengde Town, and at the seals on the tavern. She felt a deep resentment rising within her.
She was a dignified and powerful woman, yet she was bullied by an ant and lost her home.
Even though she was reduced to ashes, she just couldn't let out that pent-up anger.
Looking up at the dark clouds in the sky, she waved her hand, and a gust of wind arose, with large raindrops falling as if washing away the anger in her heart.
The next morning, the rain stopped, and a rainbow appeared in the sky.
Seeing the rainbow made Xiao Nan feel a little better.
The children woke up as well. They had intended to get up early to continue tidying up, but to their surprise, all the furniture had been arranged overnight, and the yard was filled with rare flowers and plants, just like when their mother left.
Madam Lu quickly led the Xiao family girl and Poppy to the kitchen to cook.
In the kitchen, she saw that it was spotless, the water tank was full, the bowls and chopsticks were all new, and there was plenty of pickled vegetables, preserved vegetables, fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, and fish.
Lu felt a lump in her throat. Other people's daughters-in-law disliked their mothers-in-law, but she liked her mother-in-law very much. She felt that life would be very difficult without her. Indeed, having a mother-in-law is really good.
She took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and began to cook.
Xiao Nan looked down from the rooftop, watching the children running happily in the yard, chasing butterflies without catching them, and watching the birds in the trees, only grabbing a handful of millet and placing it under the trees, hoping the birds would be full. She smiled.
She was very satisfied that these children were kind by nature and did not have those bad traits.
Her offspring don't need to be outstanding; as long as they are healthy, that's enough. Of course, provided they are healthy, it would be best if they could learn some skills so that they could protect their wives and children after settling down and establishing themselves in the future.
You can't expect them to be strong just because you're strong yourself. That would put too much pressure on them, and it doesn't align with your original intentions when you had children.
She hopes that her children will live healthy and happy lives in their short lives.
Grandchildren are the continuation of her children.
Just then, the old lady, Madam Liu, and their two daughters helped them up to the roof.
The old lady could tell at a glance that Xiao Nan was not asleep.
Xiao Nan's two daughters came over and hugged her: "It feels so good to have a mother."
"Of course, please sit down. It's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed and comfortable."
"Is your sister-in-law cooking?"
"Yes, sister-in-law is a very good person, and brother has excellent taste."
"What about Feng Cheng and the other two?"
"I am teaching my child martial arts."
"They're not bad either."
"It's alright. They've stood by our family through thick and thin and haven't turned their backs on us, which makes us sisters very happy."
"Take good care of your household, have children if you can, and let your bloodline continue. That is the meaning of life."
"Yes, mother."
Madam Qiao asked, "Are you leaving again this time?"
"I'm not leaving; I'll stay here with you peacefully."
"None of the farmhands are coming anymore,"
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. Perfect, let's plant trees on these fields. I've cultivated a kind of tree that blooms with red flowers in spring, white flowers in summer, yellow flowers in autumn, and purple flowers in winter."
"Oh, then we can see flowers every season?"
"That's right. There's no need to look at them. Let them grow as they please. We'll make this place as beautiful as possible from now on and won't hire any more people."
"What about the tavern?"
"I'm not opening anymore. I plan to give each family a few recipes for health-preserving wines and let them be self-reliant. Let them open wherever they want. We can't let people be envious anymore."
"Sigh, that's just how the world is. They don't have the ability to create their own formulas, so they're jealous of others'. They scheme and plot until they bring those people down."
