Xiaoxiao did not know how to comfort him, so she firmly held Rong Yan’s hand.

Ning Ansheng and Ning Anhui were already pacing back and forth at the door. They had clearly explained their intentions, but the Li Family insisted on stopping them outside. How was this an attitude of thanking them?

If Ah Yan had not asked them to wait for the county magistrate at the door, they would have rushed in long ago.

Sigh, but Big Brother, Ah Yan asked us to wait here. Why did he rush in first?” The answer to this question was answered when he saw his sister walking towards the door. Ning Anhui looked at their hands that had yet to separate and his eyes almost popped out. “Y-you two?”

Ning Ansheng frowned and went forward. He had originally admired Ah Yan for being superior to him in terms of academics, but now, he suddenly found him an eyesore.

Luckily, County Magistrate Shen’s carriage came at this moment and broke the awkwardness.

Ning Ansheng stood in front of the two of them and glared at Rong Yan. “Why aren’t you letting go?”

Rong Yan didn’t want to affect Xiaoxiao’s reputation in front of outsiders. Hence, when County Magistrate Shen came to everyone, he and Xiaoxiao were already standing on either side of Ning Ansheng. Ning Anhui didn’t know where to look. He looked at this and that. He couldn’t understand when they were together and why they were under their noses… What was that word again?

He felt a little emotional. His little cabbage was finally going to be taken advantage of by a pig. Fortunately, they were very familiar with Ah Yan and knew each other well. If his sister really liked him, she would not marry far away and they could take care of her at any time. Moreover, he heard from Big Brother that Ah Yan was knowledgeable. He might even be able to get a scholarship in the future. Their family did not have high expectations. It was fine as long as he could become a Xiucai and let his sister live a good life in the future.

While he was thinking, County Magistrate Shen bowed to Ah Yan. “Third Prince, this way please.”

Rong Yan passed by Xijiang County in a low profile manner because he had heard that the new rice seed had been robbed. His intuition told him that this matter might be related to Yan Lu.

There was no need for unnecessary small talk. General Xiao and the imperial guards were still waiting in a hidden spot beside the official road. The delay could not be too long. Unfortunately, after meeting Xiaoxiao, they were about to part again. He wanted to say goodbye, but he saw that Xiaoxiao had already jumped into her family’s carriage.

Before Rong Yan could feel melancholic, she came out quickly with a long cloth bag in one hand and a food box in the other. She stuffed the two acre things into Rong Yan’s arms. “Have a safe trip.”

Rong Yan used to look down on those sentimental people the most, but now, he felt that Xiaoxiao was too decisive and was a little depressed. He couldn’t hide his smile when he opened the food box in the carriage.

They were all his favorite snacks. Yun Er took a look and was filled with envy. Why does Miss Ning have the habit of bringing food boxes with her? What she brought are all your favorites. Is this the legendary longing for people by looking at their favorite things?”

Rong Yan darted a look at him and gave him some. Then he turned to County Magistrate Shen. “What’s with the new rice seeds?”

County Magistrate Shen succinctly explained what happened during this period of time in the fragrance of the snacks. He was greatly relieved when he learned that Yan Lu only stole the ordinary rice seeds after they exchanged them. Hearing that it was Xiaoxiao’s idea, he looked a little proud, but then he was a little worried. “Why is she always in danger?”

If she was discovered eavesdropping, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yun Er wiped his mouth. “Fortunately, Master left Yun San behind. I can be more at ease in the future.”

Outside the Li Residence, Xiaoxiao, Big Brother and Second Brother were looking at each other. Ning Anhui was in a daze. “What did the county magistrate call Ah Yan just now?”

Ning Ansheng suppressed the shock in his heart and turned to look at Xiaoxiao. “Shouldn’t you have something to tell us?”

Xiaoxiao retreated guiltily. At this moment, Yun San, who had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, took a step forward. “Young Master Ning, Second Young Master Ning, you can’t blame Miss Ning for this. My Master has been hiding his identity. It’s like this…”

Yan Lu’s matter was very important, but since Master had already obtained the imperial edict and was only waiting to capture him and bring him back to the capital, Rong Yan did not intend to hide it anymore. If Yan Lu retaliated before he died, the Ning Family would be on guard.

“Young Masters, things have been very tense recently. In the future, you will be escorted by me and these brothers. If you encounter anyone you don’t know or don’t want to see, you can reject them.”

Other than Yun San, Rong Yan also left behind a few guards who looked like they were not to be trifled with. Hearing Yun San’s words, these people went forward respectfully. “Greetings, Young Masters and Miss.”

They knew that His Highness valued the Ning Family, so they would not look down on them just because of their status. After greeting them, they nimbly followed behind Ning Ansheng and his brother. It was obvious that they had started their guard duties.

Yun San and another guard stayed in front of Xiaoxiao. “Eighteen and I will be in charge of Miss Ning’s safety. Also, Master Ning and Madam will also have someone with them.”

Ning Anhui couldn’t come back to his senses because of this series of greetings, but Ning Ansheng couldn’t remain calm. “Is it very dangerous?”

Yun San had received Master’s instructions in advance and was not perfunctory. “Yan Lu is the person the Yan Family thinks highly of all these years. He’s also cunning and won’t surrender obediently. Even if Master has already received the imperial edict, it’s hard to guarantee that he won’t resist with his life.”

Ning Ansheng clenched his fists under his sleeves.

After they left, the Li Residence was in chaos. Li Muyan had just opened his eyes when he heard that Old Madam was in a critical state. After listening to his personal servant tell him what had just happened, he looked at the teacup on the table haggardly. Then, he washed his face and walked towards Old Madam.

Before he entered the house, he heard the sound of glass smashing coming from inside. He pushed open the door and Old Madam leaned against the pillow with her forehead wrapped in a bandeau. Her face was filled with anger. I m not drinking it! Any country girl can make me angry. Why should I drink medicine!”

Li Muyan took a deep breath and walked over to her. “Grandmother, the country girl’ you’re talking about is your savior.”

Old Madam sneered and didn’t think much of it. “She simply assisted that young doctor. Is this considered my benefactor?”

Li Muyan interrupted her rude words. “Without her, I wouldn’t have been able to find the 100-year-old ginseng that can keep you alive. You wouldn’t have been able to last until Doctor Gongsun opened your stomach. Don’t say that opening your stomach is a killing technique. We saw the festering thing in your stomach clearly. We didn’t say it in the past because we were afraid of scaring you. Without Doctor Gongsun and Miss Ning, you would have died in less than three months even if you drank ginseng, lingzhi, and deer antler soup every day. Even if you’re not afraid of death, are you not afraid of pain?”

Previously, your abdominal pain was unbearable. I was the one who begged Doctor Gongsun to prescribe you medicine for pain relief. When your illness activates and there’s no cure, you will be tortured by such pain day and night. No matter how much medicine you drink, it’s useless.”

“Don’t mention those folk prescriptions to me either. I’ve found you living examples of the prescriptions you’ve tried. They’re either in a sorry state because of vomiting and diarrhea after drinking talisman water, or because of the abdominal closure after eating the clay.. Do you still want to try?”
