The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

As soon as Shang Xi entered the courtyard angrily, Yuhua rushed over to her: "Little Shang Xi, how come you came back so soon? Have you reached South City? You didn't turn back halfway, did you?"

Shang Xi threw the whip aside and said, "Why are you and Sister Wu here? Why didn't you send a message to let me know in advance?"

"How could I have the time to send a message? Cangman has a car, and Sister Wu and I borrowed it. We saved a lot of money on the way. The food and drinks were all provided by Cangman. Cangman is very generous."

Shang Xi rolled her eyes in her heart. It was her money that was spent so generously. Without her hundred taels, Cangman would not be so kind.

"Don't say anything. The two of you pack up your things and go back to South City as soon as possible. This is not the place for you."

Yuhua raised her eyebrows and pinched Shang Xi's arm.

"Ah, why are you pinching me? Why do you still like pinching people so much?"

"Why are you the same as your mother-in-law, chasing people away as soon as they meet? Do you know how many days it took us to walk this way? Thirty-seven days. I haven't even lived here for half a month and you're chasing me away. I won't go back. I think this place is beautiful, and the fruits and vegetables here are sweeter than those in our South City home."

Sister Wu was smart and knew how to read people's expressions better than Yuhua. She asked Shang Xi, "Shang Xi, is there something you can't tell me? Is it inconvenient for us to be here?"

Yuhua said: "If you have any unspeakable secrets, don't listen to her. I think she just doesn't miss us."

"Sister Wu, I'm doing this for your own good. If you don't leave now, it will be too late. I'm telling you, this place may never be peaceful again."

"what happened?"

Shang Xi lowered his voice and said, "A war is about to break out. The soldiers from the Southern Yan Kingdom are ready to make a move at the pass of Songchun County in Fengying."

Yuhua asked: "What is the meaning of being restless?"

At this time, Cheng Youning came out shouting: "Mom——"

Before Shang Xi could react, Cheng Youning had already jumped into her arms and hugged her neck. The powerful impact almost caused Shang Xi to fall to the ground due to inertia. Fortunately, she had been riding a horse for a few days, and her leg strength was much better than before. She just took two steps back and stood firm.

The moment Shang Xi saw Cheng Youning, she was extremely happy. During the past few days when she was away, she missed Cheng Youning the most. "Son, have you been good during the days when your mother was not at home?"

"Good boy, I'm very good. If you don't believe me, ask Yuhua."

Yuhua was still thinking about what was going on, and didn't listen to the conversation between the mother and son. Cheng Youning said again: "Yuhua, why don't you say something? I'll tell my mother whether I've been good these days."

Yuhua responded, "Good boy, I haven't gotten into any trouble. I study hard every day."

Shang Xi smiled with satisfaction, and praised Cheng Youning with relief: "I knew you wouldn't cause any trouble at home during the few days I was away, you are really a good sophomore."

Cheng Feng on the side had already turned his face away. He felt uneasy, but he also understood that as long as no one said anything, Shang Xi would not know what Cheng Youning had done in the past ten days.

In fact, deep down in his heart he didn't want to expose Cheng Youning at all. Out of selfishness, he didn't want to see Cheng Youning being scolded, nor did he want to see Shang Xi angry. He wanted to live a peaceful life, so he decided not to say anything.

Cheng Youning kissed Shang Xi's dusty face. From his intimate look, one could tell that he missed Shang Xi.

At this time, Yuhua continued to ask Shang Xi: "Shang Xi, what do you mean by "ready to make a move"? What is the Southern Yan Kingdom ready to do?"

Cheng Youning chuckled: "Yuhua, you didn't study hard when you were young, and now you're suffering. You can't understand what my mother said. She meant that the two countries are going to go to war, hahahaha."

"Ah?" Yuhua's face changed immediately, first surprised, then confused, and finally turned into horror and sudden enlightenment.

She said to the family members in the yard, "Don't stand here stupidly. Pack up your things and leave Fengying quickly. Follow me back to South City and hide. This is a serious matter. Someone could die."

Shang Xi wanted to laugh when she saw Yuhua's panicked expression. She knew that this person was afraid of intimidation and would pack up and leave immediately if threatened. "We won't leave. Things in the world are unpredictable. You can predict the beginning but not the end. You should pack up and leave. Let Cheng Feng arrange a carriage to take you away."

"Shang Xi, why are you so stubborn? Are you going to die? Come with me now. Pack up your valuables and run away without delay. This is a serious matter."

"Our family won't leave. If we wanted to leave, we would have left long ago. The Marquis and I are connected by the same vine. We are not afraid of anything. We only have one life, so the sooner we die, the sooner we will be reborn."

"Pah, pah, pah, what you said is so discouraging."

Sad? Shang Xi hasn't told Yuhua that Wan Lianxing is smelting iron in Mochun County. This is the main reason why they can't run away. This southern Yan Kingdom is not the most terrible thing. The terrible things are all behind. It depends on when Wan Lianxing's bomb will explode.

Yuhua could no longer care about that and hugged Cheng Youning back from Shangxi's arms. "You can go or not, but I have to take Cheng Youning with me."

Cheng Youning chuckled again: "Yuhua is a coward. I won't leave. I want to stay in Fengying with my parents." Then Cheng Youning broke free from Yuhua's arms like a little loach and ran out.

Shang Xi shouted, "Don't go out and talk nonsense."

"I know. I know what I can and cannot say. My master has already told me."

"Are you all crazy?" Yuhua stamped her feet in anger. She couldn't catch Cheng Youning at all. She looked at Sister Wu with a worried look on her face: "Sister Wu, are you going back?"

Sister Wu said with a smile: "I won't leave. I'll stay here to serve this family of three. I'm going to cook."

"Sister Wu, aren't you afraid of death?"

"If the boss isn't afraid, why should I be afraid? If these two countries fight, it's still unclear who will win or lose. I'm going to cook."

Seeing that Sister Wu was not leaving, Shang Xi could only persuade Yuhua: "Yuhua, I'll have someone take you away first. Don't wait here. You don't know what you'll get."

What she wanted to say was, don't just wait here to die. When she knew there were signs of danger, she also wanted to pack up and leave, and then find a peaceful place to settle down. But this Wan Lianxing was not safe. The fate of all of them in the future was unknown. Her mind had been honed to the point of taking one step at a time.

Yuhua was very annoyed: "I really can't do anything with you. How come none of you are afraid of death?"

Cheng Feng on the side said, "It's nothing, actually. It's still unclear whether there will be a fight or not. If you are scared, leave now. If you are brave, stay for a while. There is no need to panic. Eat and drink as you should, and don't worry about things that haven't happened."
