Back then, that martial woman had indeed stayed at the border for many years and suffered many injuries. However, didn’t the reputation that the Xiao Family had accumulated in the army also fall on her? However, she broke a leg, making it seem like the entire Great Xia owed her.

The Yan Family’s power could be extended everywhere, but they were helpless in the military.

Those rough men did not recognize power or money. They only recognized the feelings of struggling at the border with them. All of them were blockheads and did not understand.

How long has it been since Xiao Ran left the border? They were still thinking about their “General Xiao”. The Emperor had sent many people over, but they could not win their hearts.

Xiao Ran’s place was impregnable and no one could rope her in. However, now that she suddenly had a daughter waiting to be married, she was naturally in high demand. Everyone wanted to take a bite.

It wasn’t just her. Didn’t those vixens in the harem who had given birth to sons also hope to get close to that wild girl that the General’s Residence had found at the imperial banquet?

No matter what, did they think that they could have a say in the army by using that girl to curry favor with the General’s Residence?

She heard that a few quick-witted people had started to whisper to His Majesty yesterday that they wanted to marry her to their son as the main princess consort.

Thinking about it this way, it was good that Xiao Ran left. It saved that wild girl who had never seen the world, from being coaxed by Fourth Prince and Fifth Prince and causing trouble for her son later.

After waiting for a while and seeing that the Empress had calmed down, the nanny asked, “Your Highness, what about this set of hair jewelry?”

The Empress tidied her temples. “Keep it well. His Majesty said to postpone it, not cancel it. We’ll send it to the eldest daughter of the General’s Residence when General Xiao and the others come back after they’re done.”

“Oh, right. Tell the Crown Prince to collect more things that girls like these few days.”

With more time, she would be able to make more preparations.

Instead of letting those vixen’s sons benefit, it was better to hold the Xiao Family in the hands of the Yan Family. The Crown Prince had yet to become his main princess consort.

Xiao Ran could no longer go to the battlefield. The Xiao Family had no successor, so even if they had some prestige and loyalty in the army, how long could they last? Although marrying the Xiao Family’s daughter would make the Crown Prince feel a little aggrieved, who could compete with the Yan Family with military power in the future?

Recently, Xiaoxiao had been sneezing so many times that Gu Chang’an and Xiao Ran almost brought her to the doctor.

Xiaoxiao was neither cold nor uncomfortable. In addition, the space repeatedly guaranteed that she was very well, so she naturally did not want to waste time. “Maybe someone misses me.”

If she said this, Xiao Ran would not be sleepy anymore. She pulled Xiaoxiao and her eyes became indecent.

“You and Ah Yan…”

Xiaoxiao blushed. “I’m not talking about him.” However, she still missed him a little.

“Mother, can we send the rations over in time?”

Xiao Ran straightened her expression and sighed before she could speak. “It’s hard to say. Recently, it’s been raining continuously and there have been delays on the road. What’s even more troublesome is that Chu Zhong didn’t bring enough food, and he hasn’t gathered the second batch for a long time.”

The price of food in the Imperial Capital had skyrocketed. Ordinary people were beginning to be unable to afford food. This was not a good sign.

Xiaoxiao nodded. “Actually, I went to Fortune Village early to see if I could buy some nearby first.”

The price of food increased, but the farmers who really farmed could not benefit from it. The grain merchants were the ones who earned money, and the commoners were the ones who suffered.

Xiao Ran stroked Xiaoxiao’s head. “I’ve long heard from Ah Yan that you’re smart. I didn’t expect such a smart person to be my daughter. By the way, let me ask you for the time being. Should the new rice seed have a yield of 4.00 kg?”

Xiaoxiao smiled. “Only more, not less.”

Gu Chang’an looked at the mother and daughter who were leaning against each other in jealousy. “Let’s eat something first. Even though this is the wilderness, the wild animals are even fresher than what we usually eat at home.”

Uncle Chen, who was helping, couldn’t help but sigh. “Unfortunately, this thing is too difficult to keep. The brothers at the border haven’t eaten fresh vegetables for a long time.”

Xiao Ran’s smile faded.

If possible, she would rather spend all her wealth to let her brothers live a better life. She did that, but it was a drop in the bucket. The General’s Residence was already stretched thin, but she could not change anything.

She could think of a way to send food, clothes, and medicine, but even if she could, how much could she help those 100,000 people with her own strength?

Every time she thought of her helplessness, her heart ached.

At this moment, Xiaoxiao tugged at their sleeves. “Father, Mother, there’s something I want you to see.”

She ran back to the carriage. When there was no one around, she waved her hand and a small cloth bag appeared out of thin air in her palm. She wanted to give this to the Shen Family, but after suddenly reuniting with her parents, she felt that Gu Chang’an and Xiao Ran were more suitable.

This was a bag of dried dehydrated vegetables. Just like the one for Rong Yan, it could be eaten directly after soaking in boiling water. Moreover, it preserved the freshness and nutrition of the vegetables to the greatest extent.

From the taste alone, this thing could not compare to the snacks Xiaoxiao made, but how could its value be evaluated by just the taste?

Xiao Ran was so excited that her throat trembled. “W-Where did this come from?” As soon as she asked, she had an unbelievable guess. As expected, Xiaoxiao pointed at her with her thumb the next moment. “Hehehe, I made it.” After saying that, she even presented it like a treasure to Gu Chang’an, who was also shocked. “Father, I’ll teach you when we reach Fortune Village.”

She chuckled. “I wonder if everyone will be shocked if I go back so suddenly.”

After Xiao Ran calmed down, she said, “They will just be shocked. They will definitely be very happy. They must miss you too.”

The Imperial Capital was so far away, and the Ning Family had long been mentally prepared not to see Xiaoxiao for a period of time. However, as the days passed, everyone started to worry more than miss her.

There were so many high-ranking officials and nobles in the Imperial Capital. Would Xiaoxiao be bullied? Would she be wronged? Would she have enough money? Would the food be to her liking?

However, they did not dare to mention it in front of Ning Ansheng, afraid that it would affect his exams. Currently, he was the only one in the family who was considered calm.

Upon hearing his parents’ evaluation, Ning Anhui glanced at his eldest brother’s shoes, which he had put on wrongly. He sighed helplessly. Steady my foot. His eldest brother had almost dipped fried dough sticks in ink yesterday.

However, he really admired his brother. He was clearly very worried, but he still forced him to study seriously.

However, he could only calm down in the study room that his sister had prepared. As long as he left the room, his gaze could not help but drift out of the door, as if he could…

Eh? Ning Anhui widened his eyes and exclaimed when he saw the little head that suddenly appeared at the door. His voice cracked—”Sister?!!!”

Ning Ansheng wanted to beat up his younger brother. Was it that fun to tease him?

“Do you think I’ll believe you?” How many times has it been?

He had already begun to clench his fists, but a familiar “Pfft” sounded in his ears. It was so real that it did not seem like a dream.

“Father! Mother! Big Brother! Second Brother! Your little cutie suddenly appeared ~ Did you miss me?”
