“Master, are you storing so much grain to help the Crown Prince support the soldiers at the border?”

That night in the Su Clan’s residence, after the Little Prince had gone to bed, Little Kingfisher asked the same question that had been bothering her.

“Yes.”

Su Qingluo nodded frankly.

“How will it be transported to the border?”

Little Kingfisher was a little worried.

“There’s no hurry to transport it. Store it in Mystic Canyon first to be prepared for emergencies.”

Su Qingluo already had a plan: “Raising an army is not easy, the Empress is suspicious of Lin Clan’s army, the situation at the border is getting more and more difficult. For now, my father is still able to solve the problem of food supplies, we don’t need to reveal ourselves.”

Little Kingfisher understood: “Master means to keep it in storage, unsure when it will be needed.”

“Mhm.”

Su Qingluo’s gaze flashed, and she sighed softly: “Actually, in my heart, I sincerely hope that there will never be a need for it.”

“Alas, Master is really hard-pressed.”

Little Kingfisher gazed at her with sympathetic eyes: “Not being able to enjoy a day of happiness at the Duke of Zhen’s residence, and still having to worry about them.”

“There’s nothing to feel wronged about.”

Su Qingluo looked back with a smile: “I grew up in the countryside and spent nine years of carefree happy time. Compared to the scheming in the midst of palace intrigues, I prefer this place.”

“That’s true.”

Little Kingfisher agreed wholeheartedly: “People in the countryside are simple-hearted. Playing freely in the mountains and forests is much more interesting than engaging in intrigue in a big family.”

“Hehe, you’re amazing, Yin’er.”

Su Qingluo laughed, her eyebrows curving: “You even know how to play intrigue.”

“Of course, I know a lot.”

Little Kingfisher raised her little head arrogantly, bragging: “I know all the dirty tricks of the big families. In the future, when Master returns to the Duke of Zhen’s residence, with my help, Mother can certainly annoy those concubines to death. Let’s see how arrogant they can be.”

“Hehe.”

Su Qingluo laughed: “By the sound of it, I’m kind of looking forward to the days at the Duke of Zhen’s residence. It should be exciting.”

The Imperial Academy only had a seven-day break during the New Year, from New Year’s Eve until the sixth day. Classes began on the seventh day of the New Year.

Since the journey to the Capital City was far, Su Ziqin could not make it back in time and had to spend the holiday in the Capital City.

As she was not returning, Li Meng, too, didn’t feel safe coming back alone in her place, so they both chose to stay behind.

Li Meng’s father and his wife were also unable to visit their daughter in the Capital City, as they had elderly and young family members to care for at home, so they could only worry privately.

Su Hu and his wife were also anxious. Li Meng was Li Clan’s uncle’s only daughter, and she had never traveled far before.

She would be away for half a year, and wouldn’t even be able to come back during the New Year. The couple, putting themselves in her parents’ shoes, worried for them as well.

After discussing, the couple decided to invite Li Clan’s elderly grandparents to spend the New Year with them at the Su residence, so the uncle and his wife would have a chance to visit their daughter in the Capital City.

Old man Li and Old lady Li were not unreasonable and wouldn’t insist on living with their son.

Su Hu and his wife prepared the New Year’s supplies, took the children, and visited the Grandfather’s home to explain their intention.

The old couple thought about it and wanted to enjoy the peace and quiet with the Su family. Thus, they agreed.

Su Hu hitched the cart immediately and took the elderly couple back to Woniu Village.

They left 20 taels of silver for Li Clan’s uncle and his wife to use on their trip to the Capital City via Furong Town and then by boat.

Li Clan’s uncle, along with his younger son, happily set off.

Li Clan’s grandparents moved to Woniu Village, lived in the big tiled house, slept on the warm kang, and enjoyed the meticulous care and fine food. They were delighted beyond words.
