"what?"

Jiang Muxia put aside all the annoying things like love and romance, and sat up from the bed. She suddenly realized that she would not know when she would return.

"Why? Haven't you completed your mission? Why won't they let you go?"

Jiang Muxia was stunned. Jiang Hongxin's words were half true and half false. She believed that she would be released after the Lingnan King case was over and would stay in Suanzao County and never leave. There was a ready-made example in front of her. Wasn't Weidong also staying in the county just like her? Why did she have to go back to Beijing to report?

Jiang Hongxin lay still in the bed, and replied calmly, "You don't understand, I am different from Patriarch Wei. I am the prince's loyal warrior, and I was ordered to go undercover and blend into the goddess' maidens this time, just to cooperate with Patriarch Wei to eliminate the Lingnan King's forces. Originally, I was supposed to return to the capital to report after completing the mission, but Patriarch Wei gave me such a long time to reunite with my family, I should be content."

The words "death warrior" echoed in Jiang Muxia's mind, repeating over and over again, making her head buzz and unable to hear anything else.

As far as she knew, if you became a death warrior, you would have to hide in the dark for the rest of your life, without your own name. When you die, you die, no one will notice you, and no one will care about you. It's like a dead leaf that falls to the ground, blends with the soil, and becomes one with the soil after years. No one knows it has ever been in this world.

Why is it happening like that?

"Is there no way to leave?"

Jiang Muxia's voice trembled. She knew it was useless to ask, but she still couldn't help but ask, what if there was a way out?

"Have."

"Really?"

"When you die, you are freed from it."

Yin Haitang also heard that Jiang Hongxin had entered a dangerous place, and she had no idea what to do except worrying about her.

Jiang Muxia remained silent. She had already made a plan in her mind. She couldn't just watch her live in a bloody storm without a home to return to. She couldn't let her live on the edge of a knife and lick blood. She had to help her get out.

She thought of Weidong, perhaps she could find a breakthrough by starting with him.

"Everything is determined by fate and we have no control over it. I have lived for so many years, and it is enough." Jiang Hongxin was calm and did not show any dissatisfaction. It seems that after so many years, she has already let it go.

Hearing the night watchman's sound from afar, Jiang Hongxin turned over and said in a relaxed tone, "Go to sleep quickly, it's already three o'clock in the morning. Haitang has to go back to the village early tomorrow, and the head of the Xu family will go to your house to propose marriage."

The news that Jiang Hongxin was leaving made Jiang Muxia lose sleep. There are too many things in life that are forced upon us and too many things that we cannot control. Why can't everyone live the life they want according to their own temperament, as long as they don't harm others?

She thought about it and understood, because they are living people, people must be responsible for their own actions and cannot act recklessly and without considering the consequences like animals.

But some things can still turn around, right?

Just as she put one thing aside, Yin Haitang's words that Xu Da loved her made her irritated again. She could encounter all kinds of messes, but Xu Da was her sworn brother, and the two of them could only be siblings.

The next morning, when she sent the two away, she stopped Yin Haitang and called her, "Sister-in-law, please give me more guidance in the future."

As he said this, he bowed to her. She thought about it all night and decided to stay away from pubs and restaurants as little as possible from now on. She wanted to stay away from them as much as possible and treat them as siblings to make herself feel at ease.

Yin Haitang smiled bitterly, "What are you doing? There is no need to avoid suspicion for what I said last night. The three of us sisters grew up together, and I don't know what kind of person you are. I believe in you, believe in him, and please believe in me. Am I, Yin Haitang, a petty person? It's just..."

"Just what?"

"But Zaohua and I have both become your sisters-in-law. Do you feel dissatisfied?" Yin Haitang teased her with a smile.

Jiang Muxia chuckled, shook her head and glared at her, "Of course not, our relationship is getting closer, that's great."

Yin Haitang suppressed his smile and said seriously, "Mu Xia, I will definitely be happy."

Jiang Muxia had tears flowing from her eyes. She nodded resentfully, her voice choking with sobs, "Well, you will definitely be happy. We will all be with our family, and we will all be happy."

Her words not only referred to the two of them, but also included Jiang Hongxin.

After seeing the two off, she ran non-stop towards the west of the city.

When she came out of the Wei family, she looked unhappy and unhappy, but there was a bit more determination in her eyes.

Xu Da had no father or mother, and his only master was not at all interested in his marriage. So he asked Lu Chaoyun to be the matchmaker and took generous gifts to Xigang Village to propose marriage.

Jiang Muxia rode as fast as he could to the village and went straight to Jiang Hongxin's house.

She was still a step too late. Jiang Hongxin hurriedly left home while her family members went to the village to watch the fun.

The people at home only said a few words to Jiang Ning and then disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Muxia punched the wall hard, hating himself for being too weak and unable to do anything.

"Mu Xia, she will only be in the capital for a few months and will be back, you don't have to worry." Jiang Ning was surprised by her excessive behavior.

Jiang Muxia finally realized that she must not have told her family. Her family thought she was just going to Beijing to do some work and would be back when she was done, but they didn't know that she...

She quickly suppressed her emotions and forced a smile, "I'm just mad at her. She clearly said that I would wait for her to come back, but she left without waiting for me to come back. She's so untrustworthy."

After leaving the military family's house, she went straight to the villa. At this moment, she really needed to keep herself busy.

She gave the autumn sowing task to the brothers Jiang Hexi and Jiang Hexin, asking them to find someone to do the farming. She paid the wages and provided lunch, which Huzi and his men would deliver to the fields on time every day. They had already started working today.

She bought all the cotton that she distributed to several familiar families in the village and put it into production. Soon, white folded cloth produced by Li's workshop would appear in all the cloth shops in Suanzao County.

Within two years, she wanted their white folded cloth to be sold well throughout the Dawu Dynasty and become a fabric that everyone could afford.

The foundation of the villa has been laid and the walls have been raised to a height of half a meter. The house will be completed in more than half a month.

The craftsmen were all busy at work when a man pushed a cart in from the side door.

The winery next door has been open for a long time and is busy brewing wine every day, providing many employment opportunities for the nearby residents.

"Sister Jiang, you're here. We have brewed a new wine using the ice spring water in the yard. Would you like to try it?" Zhou Yue parked the car beside the well and glanced at Jiang Mutao who was busy weaving.

"Some other time. I don't drink when I'm working."

"That's fine. My master will get married after the Double Ninth Festival, but I don't know if Tao'er and I will..."

His face turned red, and when he looked up he found Jiang Mutao glaring at him, and he didn't dare to say anything else.

"You, wait until your master gets married, and then ask your mistress to arrange for you to get married. Tao'er is so outstanding that people who come to propose marriage to her are lining up at my doorstep. Be careful that my mother will promise her to someone else."

"Ah, then I have to hurry up." He looked at Jiang Muxia with an aggrieved look on his face and pleaded, "Sister Jiang, please speak well of me in front of my aunt. Wait for some time, and I will have a place to stay in the city before I can come and propose marriage."

"Are you going to buy a yard?" Jiang Muxia immediately thought of the area near Uncle Guan's house in the southeast of the city. Zhou Yue bought a house there, and there were people he knew around him. Tao'er would live there and have someone to take care of her, so she felt much more at ease.

"You can go find Uncle Guan. There are many yards for sale near his house. The prices are relatively reasonable and you can afford them."

Jiang Mutao's little face had already turned red enough to look like water was dripping out of it. She was only thirteen years old, why was he in such a hurry?
