The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

This time, the family didn't even get to see Zisu and her two daughters before being escorted out of Wuliping.

When Zisu heard the news, the family had already left.

She hurriedly went to the old clan chief: "Sixth Grandfather, won't you get yourself into trouble by doing this?"

The old clan chief said, "I'm not afraid. I haven't done anything wrong, so what's there to be afraid of!"

Zisu sighed, "Sixth Grandfather, thank you so much for protecting my mother and me. I am deeply moved. However, the Shangguan Chengfeng family is full of people who hold grudges. Just in case, I suggest that Sixth Grandfather select several dozen strong and capable men from the village to form a village protection team!"

The old clan chief said, "Very well, I'll listen to you! I'll go and gather everyone to select members for the village protection team!" He then smiled kindly at Zisu and said, "You don't need to worry about your sixth grandfather. Most of the people in Wuliping are very united. It won't be so easy for outsiders to bully us!"

When Zisu returned home, she found Li Mao and said, "The village is going to form a village protection team to prevent Shangguan Chengfeng's family from retaliating. Starting tomorrow, your main task is to guide the members of the village protection team in martial arts. If you find any promising talents, report them to the old clan chief so that these talents can be given special training!"

Li Mao nodded respectfully: "Yes, young lady, I will obey!"

The old clan chief was a decisive man, and that very evening, the village protection team was established. The team leader was none other than the old clan chief's eldest son, Shangguan Qin, who was also Xiaoshan's father. There were thirty team members, all of whom were carefully selected and volunteered. Each one was a hardworking, simple, tall, and healthy man.

The next day, Li Mao took office. The members of the village protection team were all very interested in martial arts and worked extremely hard. In those days, traveling far from home inevitably meant encountering bandits; if one had martial arts skills, one would have the ability to protect oneself. Now, with a free teacher to instruct them in martial arts, everyone was naturally more than happy to accept!

Upon returning to the capital, Cao immediately went to the Rong'an Prince's residence to request an audience with her daughter, Shangguan Zhihua.

The old man guarding the gate said politely, "Madam, if you wish to see Consort Shangguan, please use the side gate."

Madam Cao was furious and didn't know who to vent her anger on. She immediately pointed her finger at the old man's nose and cursed, "You lowly watchdog, what kind of talk is that? Why are you using the side door? You snobbish thing, I'm the mother-in-law of your young master!"

The old man was so angry he was practically spitting out his nose. He forced back his raging fury and said coldly, "I'm sorry, our young master's mother-in-law is the lady of the Qian family, not some Lady Shangguan!"

"You old hag, how dare you look down on people like that!" Cao Shi was blinded by anger and cursed without thinking, "You lowly scum who gloats and bullies, one day my daughter will become the mistress of the Prince's mansion! When that time comes, just wait and see if my daughter won't teach you a lesson!"

The old man had been in the Prince's mansion for decades and wasn't a coward: "Fine, I'll wait and see! When your daughter becomes a princess, I'll wait for her to come and deal with me!"

This matter alarmed the princess's trusted steward, who arrived at the main gate just in time to overhear Cao's last words. She snorted coldly, strode forward, and said to the gatekeeper, "Why bother talking to someone like that? Just have her thrown out! Today, even if she enters through the side gate, she won't have the chance!"
