They've all separated, so what does it matter to me if they get poorer and poorer?

Chapter 415 Mutation
When she was taken back by the Fan family, Madam Dou was in a daze, her eyes were unfocused, she looked haggard, and she smelled of sourness. She was in a terrible state.

Upon seeing Madam Fan, Madam Dou couldn't help but burst into tears.

Madam Fan was also startled and quickly comforted her before having someone take her to wash up.

After her makeover, Madam Dou became even more agitated, treating her recent ordeal as a great humiliation. She cried and complained to Madam Fan, cursing Liang Minglang through gritted teeth, and begged Madam Fan to avenge her.

"Those two Liang brothers are no good. The younger brother ruined my son's future, and the older brother is even more ruthless, bribing the authorities to humiliate me like this. I know the Liang family must have some wealth, they really have the nerve to do this!"

"But surely the Dou family can afford it? Sister, have someone inquire for me how much they need, and I'll pay it all. I want both the Liang family and the Xu family to go to jail!"

Mrs. Fan had a lot to say but couldn't say it.

This isn't about money. Lord Yang isn't so short-sighted as to disregard her husband's feelings for a little money from that man from the Liang family.

But unfortunately, she couldn't say these things to Madam Dou.

Madam Dou was furious and became increasingly aggressive, constantly crying and pleading. No matter how Madam Fan tried to change the subject, she would always bring it back in the next instant.

Can't carry it.

They have absolutely no sense of propriety.

Mrs. Fan also got angry.

Is she even blaming me a little? Has she forgotten the good deeds she secretly arranged for the crazy woman to do? Has she forgotten how she frightened me and caused me to be stabbed?
Madam Fan's face turned cold, and her attitude became indifferent. She told Madam Dou to rest well, as she was still recovering from her injuries and didn't have much energy. She couldn't help but feel sleepy after talking for a while.

Madam Dou was stunned, filled with anger, resentment, and anger. She knew it would be impolite to be so rude, so she left in a huff. She went home the next day.

The wife of the magistrate was indeed worthy of her title; she put on airs to the fullest, and there was nothing the magistrate could do about her.

Madam Dou hardened her heart. Even without her help, surely she could get revenge? There would always be a chance.

It's better to get rid of this relative.

We'll see. When her son becomes successful in the future, fortunes will turn around, and who knows who will be begging whom.
When Madam Dou left, she only sent her maid to tell Madam Fan, without even saying goodbye in person.

Madam Fan was furious. Fine, fine, he dared to give her the cold shoulder? He actually gave her the cold shoulder!
Unable to resist, Magistrate Fan inquired about Liang Minglang from Magistrate Yang again.

Prefect Yang still didn't say anything.

It's inconvenient to say, and I dare not say.

General Xie was a confidant of the Emperor, but he was at odds with Prince Yuchang. The Empress Dowager favored her younger son, Prince Yuchang, and used filial piety to pressure General Xie. Despite winning a great victory, General Xie received no reward, and the Emperor transferred him back to the capital without giving him a real position, leaving him to train troops in the suburbs to make a living. Meanwhile, Prince Yuchang's men went to the Northwest and took over the 200,000-strong Northwest Army.

Even if General Xie is retired, as long as the emperor's favor remains, who knows if he will one day rise to great heights?
Since Liang Minglang was his confidant, how could Prefect Yang dare to offend him?
The best approach is to keep your distance, avoid making acquaintances, and never offend anyone.

For an official in his position, stability is paramount; he can't afford to offend anyone easily. Who knows which cloud in the sky might bring rain?
Unable to get an answer, Magistrate Fan dared not be tactless and keep pestering him.

Besides, he already knew in his heart that he just needed to avoid provoking the Liang family.

After returning home, he couldn't help but give Madam Fan another dressing-down.

Mrs. Fan suffered mistreatment everywhere, and her wound became painful, taking almost a month to heal.

Xu Zhichun and Liang Minglang returned home in May. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the weather got hotter day by day, and the crops in the fields grew better day by day. The first batch of goods from the konjac workshop was also successfully shipped.

Master Qin and Manager Zhong each took half, and each had their own channels to sell their products to other places.

If the product can withstand the test of the market and becomes very popular, the goods will be easier to sell in the future. Xu Zhichun even plans to continue to expand konjac cultivation.

The entire industrial chain is perfectly integrated, from buying land and clearing wasteland to hiring villagers to produce and sell the produce.

When autumn arrives and potatoes and sweet potatoes ripen in large quantities, there's no need to worry about whether the government buys them up and transports them to other places for seed, or whether they're processed into sweet potato flour and potato flour in their own workshops. Everything is thriving.

What Liang Minglang loved most was seeing his wife's bright eyes and spirited demeanor when she envisioned the future of their business, as if she were radiating light, which fascinated and made him proud.

He thought he could spend more time with her, but he never expected that another separation would come so suddenly.

Upon receiving General Xie's secret letter, Liang Minglang's heart sank, but he could not afford to delay for even a moment.

Facing Xu Zhichun, who was smiling and gentle, telling him that he would go for a walk in the mountains in a couple of days, Liang Minglang felt even more suffocated. He was leaving early the next morning.

He didn't even have a chance to speak slowly.

Xu Zhichun felt dazed, as if she were dreaming.

"What...what do you mean by leaving? Is something wrong? What is it?"

His expression didn't suggest he was away visiting relatives and friends for three to five days. Xu Zhichun's heart gradually sank into an icy pool, and he inexplicably sensed an aura of danger.

Liang Minglang pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, and whispered in her ear, "If anyone else asked, I wouldn't say a word, but it's different for you, Zhichun. We are one, and I have to tell you so you can know the truth. Prince Yuchang has rebelled, and General Xie sent me a secret message. I have to rush to the Northwest to help General Xie. Be a good boy and wait for me to come back. Don't worry, I will definitely come back. I miss you even more than you think."

Logically, he shouldn't have told her this, but how could he bear to leave her completely clueless?

However, he could not say more.

Xu Zhichun's mind was buzzing, and his legs felt weak.

What king? What rebellion? What general?

She never thought that these things would one day have anything to do with her.

Even though Lord Lu petitioned for her merit, and even though the Emperor bestowed upon her the title of Lady of Kindness, she still felt that she was very, very far removed from those things.

It's something we don't even need to consider in our daily lives.

A gentle kiss landed on my cheek, sending shivers down my spine.

"sorry"

The man whispered in her ear.

Xu Zhichun slowly raised her head from his embrace, her lips moved slightly, and the man gently pressed his index finger against her lips, "Baby, don't ask."

Xu Zhichun felt a little sad, and her slender fingers unconsciously clenched the lapel of his shirt. "Is it that I can't say?"

Liang Minglang's heart broke when he saw her like this.

"wait me back."

"Is it dangerous?"

'Not dangerous'

"Liar."

"I promise, really."

Xu Zhichun gritted her teeth: "If you don't come back, I will definitely remarry, I— um!"

The man sealed her lips with a kiss, so forceful that he seemed to want to devour her whole. Their burning breaths, intense desire, and pounding, chaotic heartbeats intertwined, inseparable. Xu Zhichun went limp in his arms, her soft arms tightly wrapped around his waist.

Don't lie to me.
