“It’s a matter that my Sixth Grandfather has been planning for most of his life, I can’t even begin to imagine his reaction if those things were to disappear,” said Tong Sanlang honestly.

Qiao Xiaomai held her forehead.

Alright.

She had oversimplified things.

She initially thought it was a smart plan to cut off the enemy’s resources, but hearing Tong Sanlang put it this way, it seemed like an unprovoked provocation towards the Tong Family.

“When Sixth Grandfather went to study for the Imperial Examination, the responsibility of guarding these things fell upon my Grandfather. If these treasures were lost, it would result in dire consequences.”

“But, 1 heard from Xiaomei that these days Ma Dongshu has been wandering around the mountains. What if, by chance, he discovers the hidden treasure? That result would be far more severe compared to your Sixth Grandfather’s anger.”

“He won’t find it. The secret tunnel built by my Great Grandmother is very well concealed.”

“You are that certain?”

“Yes. She was once able to appear here with these items, amidst enemy encirclement, 1 believe in her abilities.”

Qiao Xiaomai

Alright.

While she could make objects disappear, she was incapable of constructing secret tunnels or breaking through enemy encirclement. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m

With a distressed look, she lifted her hand and rubbed her forehead, then began to sip at her Milk Tea.

“So, this is what you’ve been thinking about these days?” Seeing her expression, Tong Sanlang felt a sudden warmth in his heart.

“Yes. 1 feel that your family is in danger, but I can’t help but want to be close, so I thought about digging up the bomb under my house. However, with your Sixth Grandfather in the picture, this idea is moot.”

What if the eccentric Tong Liu decided to strike at Tong Tiehu and Tong Sanlang?

Sigh, how vexing.

She put down her cup, picked up a chicken foot, and began savagely gnawing on it.

How frustrating!

It was so rare for her to encounter a man like Tong Sanlang, why did he have to bear such a fate?

It was as if the heavens were toying with her!

Looking at her troubled expression, Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but let a smile play at the corners of his mouth, his dark eyes held a gentle mirth.

Qiao Xiaomai wasn’t choosing to back down.

Neither did she blindly declare to share life and death with him.

Instead, she proposed a solution.

She was making an effort.

She was making an effort to be with him.

Her actions were sweeter than any words could express.

She was truly captivating.

For a moment, the anxiety that he had felt all night faded away like a receding tide, all that remained in his heart was her.

How he wished, he could do as his father suggested tonight, to boldly go and propose marriage, and bring her home with glamour and pride.

“Eh, how old is this Sixth Grandfather of yours?” Qiao Xiaomai, unaware of Tong Sanlang’s thoughts, finished her chicken foot aggressively, pulled out a tissue from her space to wipe her hands, and then picked up her milk tea to drink again.

Her bright peach blossom eyes stared intently at Tong Sanlang across from her, making her seem particularly attractive.

Suppressing his agitation, Tong Sanlang replied, “He’s a year younger than my Grandfather, so he’s fifty-nine.”

“Is he still physically hearty?”

“Yes, his health is better than my Grandfather’s.”

Qiao Xiaomai

With a soft cough, she acknowledged that anticipating Tong Liu to die naturally was not a likely possibility.

“After the harvest, my Grandfather and I are going to Capital City. My Grandfather wants to have a talk with Sixth Grandfather, we’ll see then.” Tong Sanlang understood her meaning, and he also felt uneasy.

It was truly disrespectful to speculate about the lifespan of one’s elders.

“I see.” Qiao Xiaomai was surprised and asked, “Last time, I asked you about the preparations made by your Sixth Grandfather over the years. You didn’t answer me.”

“He has contacted several influential Aristocratic Families.”

‘Aristocratic Families’ refer to families of high standing, with a lineage of governmental roles. These families, regardless of the former dynasty or Daqi, hold significant power..
