"Why?" Yan Mujun didn't understand why her uncle changed his attitude towards Yan Muxi. Today's time was too short and the two sisters had a lot to say. She was also thinking of going out of the house to find Yan Muxi tomorrow!

"Mrs. Qian saved you, and your uncle will repay her for her kindness. A profit-seeking businessman like her is not suitable to be your friend," explained Uncle Ge.

Yan Muyun still didn't quite understand, "How did Uncle know that Madam Qian was a person who only cared about profit and was not worth making close friends with?"

Uncle Ge didn't want to speak ill of others behind their backs, but after some consideration, he felt that he should tell his niece the whole story to prevent her from being bullied and deceived because of her simple-mindedness.

"The northwest has been in turmoil for years, and prices have been rising again and again, especially for food, cloth, and medicine, which have nearly quadrupled compared to when things were stable, and the people are having a hard time. And this Madam Qian spent a huge amount of money to transport food, cloth, and medicine from the south to the northwest, she must want to make a lot of money. It's understandable for merchants to pursue profits, but merchants who make money from national disasters must have bad intentions. That's why your uncle advises you not to make close friends with this black-hearted Madam Qian."

"Uncle, how does you know that Madam Qian is determined to make money from the national crisis?" Although Yan Muyun didn't know why Yan Muxi wanted to hoard a large amount of supplies, she believed in her sisters and they were definitely not doing this to make money.

Uncle Ge asked her, "Sister Yun, do you know how much money it would cost to transport hundreds of thousands of dan of grain, more than 100,000 pieces of cloth, and a large amount of medicinal materials from Jiangnan to the northwest?"

"I don't know, but I know Madam Qian is not a bad person with a black heart. I believe her." Yan Mujun said with determination.

Uncle Ge was so angry that he laughed, "If you don't invest hundreds of taels of silver for the purpose of making money, what else could it be? Madam Qian is just a businessman, could it be that she wants to change her career and become a living Bodhisattva who saves people from suffering?"

Yan Mujun couldn't find any reason to refute, so she could only say stubbornly, "Anyway, I don't believe that Madam Qian is a bad person. Also, uncle, you must do your best to help Madam Qian, and don't go back on your word and stab her in the back."

Uncle Ge originally thought that his niece was better than her mother, but now it seems that the mother and daughter are just as bad as each other. They were deceived and led astray, and ten oxen cannot pull them back to the right path.

Back then, his younger sister insisted on becoming someone's concubine and he had no power to control it. Now, as her uncle, it seems that he has even less power to control his niece's affairs.

With a sigh, he reluctantly assured, "Although your uncle doesn't have any great talents, he still has basic integrity. If I promise something to others, I will definitely do it."

Yan Muyun was relieved after hearing this and calmed down. She couldn't help but suspect that Yan Muxi wanted to make money from the national crisis. Otherwise, why would he spend a huge amount of money to stockpile supplies?

Uncle Ge couldn't persuade his niece verbally, so he tried to intervene physically. The next day, Yan Muyun took Qing Ge'er out, and many servants were arranged to guard them.

Outside the inn, Yan Muxi couldn't help but twitch his eyelids as he looked at the mother and son with a ceremony that was comparable to that of an emperor's trip.

After entering the house, Yan Muyun forcefully sent the servants away. She then asked in confusion, "Are you afraid of ropes after being bitten by a snake once?"

Yan Muyun explained helplessly, "My uncle is afraid that I will be cheated again!"

"Being cheated again?" Yan Muxi pointed at herself, "Is that person referring to me?"

"Second sister, you can be more confident and remove the questioning tone. It's you."

"Why? Is it just because I'm a businessman?"

"My uncle thinks you are a businessman who wants to make money from the national crisis. He says you are too evil and won't let me play with you." Yan Muyun said truthfully.

After learning the reason, Yan Muxi smiled and said, "Your uncle is a very nice person."

"Of course my uncle is good. He is very good to my mother and me." Yan Muyun realized something and said, "Second brother, you are not speaking sarcastically, right?"

"Don't worry, I'm not being sarcastic. People who care about their country and the people in their hearts can't be said to be good people, but they are definitely not bad people. It's a blessing for you, third sister, to have such a righteous uncle." Yan Muxi said as she pulled Qing Ge'er over to the side, "Qing Ge'er is really well raised, he is so cute with his chubby face!"

"Qing, hurry up and call your aunt!" Yan Muyun asked her son to call for help.

"Aunt~" Qing Ge'er immediately called out sweetly, showing his two rows of little white teeth to Yan Muxi, looking so adorable and silly.

Yan Muxi pinched his little face and said, "Qing Ge'er and Gu Yunting look like they were carved from the same mold, but their personalities are completely different."

"They are somewhat similar." Yan Mujun wanted to say that Gu Yunting's seriousness was all fake, and the father and son were exactly the same when they were pestering people. After thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate to expose her man's shortcomings, but she couldn't say it out loud.

Not wanting to mention Gu Yunting again, Yan Muyun changed the subject, "How have you been these past two years? Have you met someone you like?"

"How did I spend my time?" Yan Muxi thought about it carefully. "I ate and slept, took care of other people's business when I was free, and occasionally went out to earn some money. Hundreds of days and nights seemed to have passed in the blink of an eye. As for the person I like, I haven't met him yet."

"So what if you don't have one? As long as you have money and fun, men are dispensable." Yan Muyun sighed and asked, "You haven't seen Yu Wantai in two years?"

Yan Muxi lowered her eyes, curled her lips and smiled, "Third sister, you can't even figure out what's going on in your own room, and you still have the mind to gossip about other people's affairs."

Seeing that she was unwilling to talk, Yan Muyun stopped asking. After the couple separated, they didn't even want to mention each other. Either they loved each other too deeply and couldn't let it go, or they didn't care at all.

Yan Mujun subconsciously felt that Yan Muxi was the former. As a girl who had always been open-minded and intelligent, she must have fallen in love with Yu Wantai, which was why she was unwilling to mention it at all.

Some grain arrived at the storage warehouse today. Yan Muxi had planned to watch the grain entering the warehouse with his own eyes. However, due to the arrival of Yan Mujun and her son, he had to change his plan and let Dongyu watch it, while he accompanied the mother and son for a day's stroll in Jincheng.

As the sun set, Yan Muyun and her son returned home with a full load of the day's spoils.

Gu Yunting saw with his own eyes that Yan Mujun was fine, and he finally put his mind at ease after being worried for many days.

But the next moment, my heart began to feel upset again, and the mother and son were laughing, each happier than the other.

It would be fine if it was just his son, it was only natural for him to be happy with his mother, but his wife was angry with him and had been separated from him for many days, and she was so heartless that she didn't even care about him at all.

Yan Mujun was about to step into the house when she looked up and saw Gu Yunting in the room. The smile on her face disappeared immediately, she picked up Qing Ge'er, turned around and left.

Gu Yunting turned his head to look at Uncle Ge, who waved his hand in understanding, "General, go quickly!"

Before he finished his words, Gu Yunting flashed out of the house like a gust of wind and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Uncle Ge was stunned for a moment and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

My niece takes after her mother and is a little confused in her behavior. Fortunately, my niece's husband is a clear-headed person.
