After the marriage, the cousin was spoiled by the whole family of the Marquis's Mansion

Chapter 192: War is coming again

The sky was pitch black, with only the starlight from the sky shining brightly.

In the past, the children would pull their father to play in the yard for a long time before going to bed.

But today's frightening day made all the little kids, big and small, go back to their houses and rest quietly.

"You said the person sent back was called Wan Lie?"

Rong Peilan frowned and looked at Rong Lingkuan's face, which was exactly the same as his father's when he was young.

Rong Lingkuan nodded and said, "I met him after I left Ningzhou."

"The rebels had just finished fighting the imperial army, and happened to encounter bandits who took advantage of the situation to rob them."

"All my money and property were robbed, and it was Brother Wan who saved me."

Rong Peilan was a little nervous, "Did he say anything strange to you?"

"No." Rong Lingkuan shook his head, then pursed his lips and thought for a moment, "But he always stares at me sometimes."

"I asked him, and he said that seeing it reminded him of a friend he hadn't seen for a long time."

Rong Peilan's eyes were slightly drooped. She was nearly thirty years old, and two fine lines had quietly appeared at the corners of her eyes.

"Kuan'er, I know your ambitions, but the world is divided into three factions. If you make a wrong choice, you may be destroyed forever."

"When we meet in war, swords have no mercy. We are just ordinary people now, so we should just go with the flow."

"After everything is settled, I will have no objection whether you go on the scientific expedition or teach."

She looked up and said, "But not now."

Rong Lingkuan followed them from Yanjing to Jinpeng when he was ten years old, and then moved to Zhaofeng.

Finally, at the age of sixteen, he went to Ningzhou alone to study.

Although he did not travel thousands of miles, he was different from those students who only stayed at home and read the books of sages.

He has seen prosperity and desolation; he has seen high-ranking officials and he has also seen untouchables.

The older he gets, the more he knows what he wants.

He has no interest in officialdom, but he also wants to do something with his own efforts.

The Western Jin Dynasty was barbaric and the court was in disarray.

He felt that the rebels were hope.

Rong Lingkuan looked at his sister's deeply furrowed brows and said, "Sister, you said you wanted to have a few children. In this peaceful and prosperous era, you..."

Rong Peilan turned her head away and said, "Sister, you are too ambitious. Those arrogant words have long been forgotten. Don't mention them again in the future."

Rong Lingkuan looked at his sister, opened his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

Rong Peilan sighed silently, "You've been exhausted from the journey, you should rest early."

She slowly walked out of Rong Lingkuan's room.

Looking up at the night sky, my eyes felt so dry and painful.

She had shed all her tears long ago, and she curled up like a hedgehog that had lost its quills.

When she returned to the room, the bed and the floor were filled with people.

The two little girls, Ji Sui'an and Ji Fu'an, were hugging each other and had fallen asleep on the inside.

There were two layers of quilts on the ground. On both sides of Ji Yunzhang were Ji Qian'an and Ji Rong'an. Each of them held one of his arms, making it impossible for him to move.

The children in the family already had their own rooms, and only during thunderstorms would Ji Fuan come over and hug her to sleep.

Listening to the mixed breathing sounds, Rong Peilan's dried-up heart seemed to come back to life.

The next day.

Rong Peilan felt a hot and wet feeling on her cheeks. When she opened her eyes, she saw Ji Fuan's enlarged little face. She was caught in the act of kissing him secretly.

Ji Fuan smiled, "Mom is so beautiful!"

There was no one else in the room except Ji Fuan.

Rong Peilan touched her little face and asked, "Where are they?"

Ji Fuan snuggled up to her and said, "It rained last night, and my brother said he wanted to pick mushrooms. My uncle, father, and Aunt Haitang took them all." Ji Qian'an is very bold. She was scared yesterday, but today she is in the mood to pick mushrooms.

"Why don't you go?" Rong Peilan hugged the little girl and got up.

Ji Fuan wrinkled her nose and said, "No, I want to accompany my mother."

Rong Peilan smiled and kissed her on the forehead, "Well, Fu'er is the best."

When Ji Fuan was brought back, she was particularly obedient, but very clingy.

When I was a child, I was basically hanging on Ji Yunzhang and was taken wherever I went.

When he grew up, it was no longer appropriate to cling to his father, so he started to stick to his mother.

Whether Rong Peilan was checking accounts or making purchases, there was always a little tail following him.

In Zhaofeng City, others may not know what the eldest daughter of Rongfu Grain Store looks like, but they must know the second daughter.

The mansion has returned to its former appearance.

It seemed that yesterday's thrilling bandit hunting was just a terrible nightmare.

After dawn, it disappeared.

Chen Chun was digesting her food in the yard with her big belly in her hand. She was walking very fast and Ji Xing had to follow her in a daze.

While chasing, he kept saying, "Slow down, slow down..."

Calculating the time, there is less than a month left before the birth.

Rong Peilan felt a little worried and didn't know how long this peaceful life could last.

Chen Chun was annoyed by being chased, "Stop chasing me, go to work, Madam didn't give you money to keep an eye on me."

Ji Xing stood still, "Last month, you fell and had a miscarriage. Now you're almost due, and I'm worried!"

Chen Chun was so angry that he hit him.

When the two of them are together, one becomes more and more resilient, and the other becomes more and more talkative.

After Rong Peilan and Ji Fuan finished their breakfast, they went to check out the shops on the street.

The streets have returned to normal. If there weren't so few people and many rotten doors and windows, no one would have known about the tragic scene that took place in the city yesterday.

Someone is asking for food at the door of the grain store.

Rong Peilan handed the food box in her hand to Manager Zhou, "Qingtan prepared this for you."

She looked at the pile of food at the door and asked, "Why is there so much food today?"

Manager Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and took the food box. "These are all the food that was stolen yesterday. They have all been returned."

"Have they all been sent back?"

Rong Peilan has been in charge of the grain store for so many years and has encountered all kinds of emergencies, including theft and robbery.

But this is the first time I have encountered something being returned after being stolen.

After counting, the waiter came back and reported, "Boss, three bags are missing."

"It doesn't matter. Just write down the loss and Manager Zhou and I will sign it later."

"Boss, if there is any shortage of food, it is naturally me, Luo Sheng, who will compensate for it."

A rough voice came from behind.

Luo Sheng and another bearded man jumped off their horses.

Rong Peilan recognized the bearded man as Wan Lie at a glance. She turned around. Now she didn't want to have anything to do with anyone anymore.

"No need. The shop has natural wear and tear every month. No compensation is required."

"You guys go, I won't cause any trouble."

Wan Lie looked at the back of her head. He had never seen her again since Yan Hui returned that year.

He thought she was a wealthy and idle person in Yanjing until he met a young man who looked extremely similar to that half of her face.

He took a deep breath and said, "We are here to do business with the boss."
