The widowed sister-in-law is embarrassed, she criticizes the villain like he only wants to be a love

Early the next morning

Liu Bin and his son Liu Hanzhou went to the battlefield. Pei Qingwan and Pei Chengye, brother and sister, came to the city gate to see them off.

Pei Qingwan looked at her husband and eldest son with reluctance.

"The Marquis and Zhou'er must return safely."

Liu Bin looked at his wife and the baby in her arms lovingly and said, "I'll have to trouble you to take care of the affairs in the mansion."

"I will take good care of the Marquis's Mansion, and you, Lord Marquis, must also take good care of yourself."

The little baby stared at Liu Bin with a pair of big watery eyes. Liu Bin's heart softened and he cursed in his heart: How comfortable it is to have a wife, children and a warm bed. Why fight a war? He decided to let Zhou'er inherit the title after returning from Rongcheng. He would take his wife and daughter to travel and live a free life.

"Give daddy a hug, my precious daughter. Daddy will miss you and mommy every day. You have to listen to mommy at home, okay?"

The baby reached out to grab Liu Bin's ears and giggled, making Liu Bin laugh too.

It was time to set off. Liu Bin handed the child to the nanny beside him and looked at Pei Chengye.

"I'm not at home these days, so I'd like to trouble you to take care of Wanwan and her daughter."

Pei Chengye said: "Please rest assured, Lord Hou, I will definitely take good care of them."

Pei Qingwan felt very reluctant and her eyes had been red since early morning. Liu Bin reached out to wipe away the tears from her face.

"Don't cry, your husband will try to come back soon."

Liu Hanzhou on the side said: "Father, mother, my second brother is here."

Liu Bin, Liu Hanzhou, Pei Qingwan, Pei Chengye and others all looked at the group of people who were hurrying over.

Liu Hanyue dismounted and walked straight to the carriage behind him.

"Be careful."

Yan Shu lifted the curtain and got off the carriage. Behind her carriage were ten ox carts, each of which was full of goods.

Liu Bin looked at his son's meticulous and careful service and turned his face away in disdain.

Hey, when has this brat ever been so caring towards his old man?

He usually acts like a spoiled ancestor in the mansion, but he is a completely different person in front of Yan Shu, which makes him wonder if this kid has been possessed by some unclean creature?

"Greetings, Lord Marquis, Sister Wan." Yan Shu stepped forward to greet them.

Pei Qingwan excitedly held Yan Shu's hand and asked, "When did Shu'er come back? Why haven't I heard Yue'er mention it before?"

Liu Hanyue: "You take care of that little girl all day long. She's so annoying. Shu'er hasn't been feeling well lately, so I thought I'd stop bothering you."

Pei Qingwan rolled her eyes at Liu Hanyue and reached out to hold Yan Shu's hand.

"This kid doesn't really like children making noise, but my third girl has always wanted to stick to him since he came back, causing him to disappear every day."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "My eldest brother's child is a few months older than the third lady, and is at the age of being noisy. I think it's much more joyful to have a child around."

"Yeah, I knew you would like children, and you would be a good mother when you get married."

"Cough cough..."

Liu Hanyue coughed twice and interrupted Pei Qingwan's words.

"Mother, Dad and Big Brother are about to leave, and we have something important to discuss."

Pei Qingwan tactfully let go of Yan Shu's hand: "Business is more important, we will talk about it in detail later."

"it is good!"

Yan Shu walked up to Liu Bin.

"Thank you, Lord, for coming to attack Rongcheng. I can't help you much, but I know a little bit about medicine, and I have some good quality medicinal herbs in hand. I also brought some explosives with me."

"Explosives?"

Liu Hanzhou explained: "Father, I have seen the explosives that Miss Yan mentioned before. They are extremely powerful when used on the battlefield."

Liu Bin became interested: "Miss Yan, can you take me to have a look?"

"Please."

Yan Shu brought Liu Bin, Liu Hanzhou and Liu Hanyue, father and son, to the ox cart.

"The first three carts are loaded with various herbs, which are mainly used to stop bleeding and reduce inflammation. The last seven carts are loaded with ammunition. You have seen them before, and you should know how to use them on the battlefield."

Liu Hanzhou nodded.

Yan Shu lifted a corner of the sunshade on one of the cars, revealing that inside were simple bombs made from bamboo tubes. On the first day she returned to Xinyang, she asked Yan Wen to go to the farm where he worked to order a batch of such goods.

That Zhuangzi was Jiang Ci's personal armory. Two years ago, she provided them with the method of making bombs, and now they have mastered the use of it.

In addition to the batch of ammunition prepared for the Jibei Army, another batch was being produced overnight and sent to Nanyang Prefecture.

"This thing looks like a firecracker. How powerful can it be?"

Yan Shu said: "The purity of gunpowder is much higher than the firecrackers we usually use. The power of one gunpowder is probably equivalent to ten times the content of firecrackers."

Liu Bin's eyes were bright and a smile appeared on his usually stern face.

Ten times the content? Wouldn't it mean that a single gunpowder could kill dozens of people?

"How many missiles are there in these vehicles?"

"About 5,000 or so. Be careful to check for leaks when the road is bumpy. When using an open flame, stay ten meters away from the gunpowder."

"I've made note of this. It's getting late, so get ready to set off!"

Yan Shu sincerely wished: "May the Marquis and the Crown Prince return victoriously soon."

Liu Bin nodded, ordered his soldiers to take the ten ox carts with them, and then mounted their horses and headed towards the main force.

Yan Shu, Liu Hanyue, Pei Qingwan, Pei Chengye and others stood at the city gate and watched the team leave.

Liu Hanyue looked at Yan Shu beside him and said, "It's time for us to leave too."

Yan Shu nodded and walked to Pei Qingwan: "Sister Wan, I will leave Xinyang today. I don't know when we will meet again in the future. This is the anti-poison bead I made by myself. Consider it a gift for Xiao Qiuer."

After he finished speaking, Yan Shu placed the pendant in his hand into the baby's palm. On the pendant hung an exquisite hollow gold lock with a purple bead inlaid inside.

Xiao Qiuer held the anti-poison bead tightly, staring at it with her big eyes as if she had found some treasure.

Pei Qingwan asked reluctantly: "Why are you leaving right after coming back?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "There are some urgent things to do. I have to trouble you to see me off on this long journey. I hope Sister Wan won't blame me."

Pei Qingwan immediately smiled and glanced at her boy.

"This kid is good at martial arts and has a flexible mind. I feel more at ease with him following you."

Then, Pei Qingwan gave Liu Hanyue a few more instructions and left with Pei Chengye.

After bidding farewell to Pei Qingwan, Yan Shu was about to get on the carriage when he heard Yan Wu's voice calling out from not far away.

"Wait a minute, little sister!"

Yan Shu glanced sideways and saw that all the members of the Yan family had arrived.

"My daughter, why didn't you say goodbye to us before you left? Fortunately, your sister-in-law found that you were not in the room, otherwise we would not have been able to see you off." Liu Wen Niang suppressed the bitterness in her heart and held back her tears as she handed the bag in her arms to Yan Shu.

"Inside are a set of clothes and a pair of shoes that your mother made for you, as well as a few handkerchiefs. In this basket are the snacks and hot meat buns that your father bought for you this morning. They are all made by the shop you often eat at. You don't know when you will be back, so you must take good care of yourself."

Yan Ersheng also stepped forward and said, "My daughter, don't make us worry too much. If you are fine, send more letters home. We are all worried about you."

Yan Shu nodded with red eyes.

Afterwards, the three brothers of the Yan family and Xu Shuangxue also gave detailed instructions, and deep reluctance could be seen on everyone’s faces.

Yan Wu said: "Little sister, you take my second brother with you. My martial arts have improved a lot now, and I can protect you well."

Yan Shu smiled and said, "Second brother, you are not young anymore. The child of your eldest brother, who is the same age as you, is almost one year old, and you are still alone. It is time for you to start a family and build a career. Staying with your parents is a way to show your filial piety for me."

After saying this, Yan Shu looked at Liu Wenniang and said, "Mother, there are some things stored in the mahogany box in my room. Please keep them when you go back."

The box contained jewelry, jade, red hairpins and other accessories that she had saved while fleeing from famine. The entire box was left at the Yan family. She had no use for these personal belongings, so leaving them to the Yan family was a kind of security.

Liu Wenniang choked up and nodded: "Don't worry, I will take good care of you."

"I can't use those things, so leave them to mother and sister-in-law. You don't have to keep them for me."

After he finished speaking, Yan Shu's eyes swept over all the members of the Yan family one by one, and every moment of his interactions with the Yan family flashed through his mind.

"Father, mother, eldest brother, eldest sister-in-law, second brother, third brother, you should also take care of yourselves."

She bowed to the Yan family and said her final farewell.
