If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

With the careful care of Meixiang and others, Bailang finally had the strength to open his eyes on the third try.

"Ouch..." A low whimpering sound came from the low couch, waking up Meixiang who was dozing off against Fat Tiger after lunch.

Before Meixiang could react, the white wolf guarding the couch whimpered in response, and then another whimpering sound was heard from outside the door.

"Fat Tiger, hurry up, don't let them bark anymore. It will cause panic among the villagers." Meixiang looked at White Wolf who raised his head and was about to bark again, and she reacted quickly and pushed Fat Tiger who was also a little dazed.

"Awoo..." Fat Tiger growled, stopping his excited companion from howling again.

Situ Yidong's questioning voice could be heard faintly from outside the door. It was the same rule as when the Yelang family was recuperating in the Liu Mansion. Only Meixiang was guarding the house in this yard, and everyone else could only stay outside the yard.

Meixiang hurriedly spoke up to stop him from approaching: "Don't come in, I'm fine, it's the injured White Wolf who woke up." Then she got up and walked to the couch and began to check the White Wolf's body.

After waking up, the white wolf recovered quickly. After another three days, he was able to slowly get out of bed and stroll around the yard.

Meixiang no longer needs to stay here all the time. She only needs to come here in the morning, noon and evening to check the wound and change the dressing.

"Brother Situ Shi, what do you think of Bai Lang's wound?" After dinner that day, Meixiang and a few others sat in the beautiful woman's living room drinking tea and talked about the problem that had been hidden in their hearts.

Situ Yidong nodded when he heard this. "That's what I thought when I saw its wound that day. But it doesn't look like a weapon commonly used by the Haoyue people. I've carefully read the historical records these days and asked some veterans in the barracks."

"If it's not Haoyue's? Then where is it from?" Meixiang asked anxiously.

Situ Yidong glanced at her and gave the answer that no one wanted to hear: "Someone recognized it as a weapon from the country across the mountain, and I confirmed it after checking the historical records."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room suddenly stagnated. The message brought by these words was too big for people to accept for a while.

The injured white wolf is an adult wolf, and the possibility of it accidentally running into or encountering the soldiers over there is almost zero, so there is only one possibility left...

Thinking of this, Situ Yidong and Meixiang looked at each other, and both of them broke out in a cold sweat. Although it was difficult to artificially cross the endless primeval forest, it was not impossible in theory.

If it was really as they thought, then Liuzhou Prefecture, which was backed by the forest, would be the first to be hit. Fortunately, Meixiang had a premonition today and sent everyone away in advance. Now there were only two of them in the house, otherwise...

"Are cousin Chen Dahe and Yijia still in the military camp now?" Meixiang suddenly asked.

"After the first day of the Lunar New Year, we returned to the military camp." Situ Yidong stared at Meixiang, who was frowning, and replied, "Sister Xiang'er, don't be too anxious now. Maybe we are worrying too much."

"Everything that is abnormal must be caused by something wrong. We can't take this matter lightly. Have you received any letters from Brother Chu Shi and the others?"

"Not yet, but counting the days, it should be soon." Today should be the tenth day of the first lunar month, and under normal circumstances, they should be ready to leave soon.

"Well, we two just need to know the situation between us, and don't make it public yet. You should write a letter to the capital tonight. It's better to be safe than sorry. Let them know the situation and see if they can get accurate information through other channels."

Meixiang thought for a moment and discussed with Situ Yidong, "After the New Year, Liuzhou Prefecture will strengthen training and patrol the back mountains. We should be relaxed on the outside and tight on the inside, and be prepared for the worst. Brother Situ Shi, I have a bad feeling that there will not be many peaceful days like now."

Situ Yidong's eyes darkened. He wanted to comfort her but didn't know what to say. He had to secretly stretch out his right hand, quickly hold Meixiang's left hand hanging by her side, and then quickly let go.

Soon they received letters from Chu Zeming and others, as well as gossip written by Eunuch Wang.

"Damn, the capital is celebrating this New Year so lively?" Meixiang leaned against the beautiful woman, and sighed with a smile. Wang Nei Shi was also a wonderful person. Meixiang could not remember when it started, but she would receive letters from him from time to time, most of which were gossips from various prefectures in the capital.

However, it was these seemingly gossipy rumors that allowed the beautiful woman and Meixiang to sensitively grasp the intricate network of relationships in the capital, and to ensure that they could talk to the ladies of various mansions at any time without the embarrassment of not knowing what they were talking about.

Meixiang was very grateful for Wang Neishi's kindness, so every time she sent gifts back to the capital, she would always include a generous share from him, and the relationship between the two of them continued in this way.

"Cousin?" The beautiful woman was very interested in this word.

"Then for a long time from now on, will 'cousin' be the most unwelcome person among the ladies of the capital?" Meixiang asked with a giggle.

The beautiful woman reached out and scratched her upturned nose, and said in a veiled voice, "It's all your fault. Both the Chu and Feng families changed their ancestral rules."

"Mother, what you said is a bit biased. They should thank me. Otherwise, they will cry when they give birth to a child with brain problems." Meixiang shook the beautiful woman's arm and shouted unwillingly.

"You are the only one who is right. You are always right, okay?"

"That's right, but then again, are these ladies really so idle?" It seems that in Meixiang's previous understanding, the wives of big families are very busy. There are endless account books to read and endless reports to listen to.

The beautiful woman didn't know how to answer this question, because she had never been the head of the household for a few days. Thinking about the situation when her mother was the head of the household before she got married, "When I saw your grandmother was the head of the household, she shouldn't have been very busy, at least not as busy as I imagined."

"No wonder they come to ask the cousins ​​to accompany them when they have time. It turns out they are all free." Meixiang was thinking about the things about the Feng and Sun families mentioned in Wang Nei Shi's letter. Sun Yu even assigned his mother a task to help her pass the time.

With nothing to do and plenty of free time, why not think of ways to please people? Meixiang suddenly thought of the modern quintessence of Chinese culture. After playing four rounds every day, half a day would pass. It would be a good way for these ladies and young ladies to kill time.

"Mother, if there is a game that can help these ladies kill time, but it involves a certain amount of gambling, do you think I should play it?" Meixiang suddenly asked the beautiful woman.
