Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When the few of them returned to Wanning City, it was already noon the next day. Originally, they wanted to follow the Eldest Prince and escort the captured criminals to the court. However, Qin Huai saw that All Yu was already yawning non-stop, so he said to the Eldest Prince, “If there’s a summon, Eldest Prince can look for me at Duke Yong Manor.”

When the Eldest Prince saw the Wang Family leave, he didn’t know what to say.

It was fine if it was just Qin Huai. After all, he was from the Duke Yong Manor. He was born into a noble family, so it was only natural that he was not afraid of the princes. But what was going on with the Wang Family?

The Eldest Prince asked the guards beside him, “Do you think that the Wang Family doesn’t seem to take me seriously?”

It was not that he wanted the dignity of a prince, but he was purely curious about why this was the case. Could it be that the status of the Wang Family was even higher than Qin Huai?

At first, the guard didn’t dare to answer. Under the Eldest Prince’s questioning, he said, “Eldest Prince, you’re thinking too much. The Wang Family doesn’t seem to care about anyone.”

The Eldest Prince:”…”

Alright.

At the thought of the person among those being escorted who particularly troubled him, the Crown Prince lost all desire for further investigation and immediately led the group back to Wanning City.

After Ah Yu returned to the Wang Family, she was arranged by Old Madam Wang to take a hot shower and pass through a thick cloud of wormwood smoke fragrance.

She watched Ah Yu drink a few more bowls of sweet soup until All Yu held her stomach and said that she couldn’t eat anymore. Then, she pulled her hand and spoke.

“All Yu, tell Grandma honestly. Did you suddenly run to the quarry this time because of His guidance?”

Old Madam Wang pointed at the sky vaguely.

Ah Yu nodded and shook her head. “Grandma, the elf only told me about this, but I heard that there are so many people buried underground. It’s impossible for me to sit back and do nothing. Didn’t Grandma often say that when we have the strength, we should help? As long as we don’t violate our bottom line and don’t put ourselves in danger, we can do it.”

Old Madam Wang snorted coldly and gently knocked Ah Yu’s head. “Listen to yourself. Does it sound like something Grandma will say? Don’t play dumb. All these years, you’ve been learning martial arts from Qin Huai. When you went out to travel, I never restrained you. However, you have to know that there’s always someone stronger out there. You have to prioritize your safety at all times. You have to know that there are many people in the world who suffer, but Grandma only has you, All Yu.”

Ah Yu lowered her head, and her originally excited expression dissipated a lot. “Grandma, I know my mistake. I’ll definitely tell you everything next time.”

“Silly child, that’s not what Grandma means.” Old Madam Wang smiled. She realized that Ah Yu had really grown up now. She could no longer coax her like she was coaxing a child, lest she think too much.

She thought of her children. When they were young, they were very naughty. At that time, she had to protect everyone in the war and had no choice but to let the children grow as they pleased, afraid that they would be too outstanding.

Later on, they became refugees and wandered around, and she lost her beloved child. Her body and mind couldn’t take it anymore. By the time she realized that the children at home were each more silly than the other, all of them headed towards Old man Wang’s foolishness, it was already too late.

On the other hand, before Ah Yu appeared, she only wanted to waste her life and let the children live an ordinary life. Therefore, no one doubted their countryside background.

Even the children mistakenly thought that their family’s wealth when they were young was just an empty dream.

Seeing that Old Madam Wang seemed to be in deep thought, All Yu also sat obediently beside her and accompanied her silently.

After a long time, she heard Old Madam Wang’s earnest words. “Ah Yu, you’re a smart child. As long as you’re willing, you can also become an amazing child. Grandma is unwilling to restrain you, nor can I restrain you. As you grow older, you’ll eventually have your own world. If Grandma interferes too much with you, you will only become like Grandma in the future.”

“Isn’t it good to become like Grandma? I think Grandma is the smartest, kindest, calmest, and most capable person I’ve ever met!” All Yu hurriedly said. “If not for Grandma, our family wouldn’t have become so good. Without Grandma, I wouldn’t have been able to go to so many places and know so many people.”

Not every grandmother could be like Old Madam Wang, let alone bring the family to rise from a place like Hu Family Village.

The older All Yu grew, the deeper her comprehension became. However, based on her age, Meat ball mostly guided her based on the instructions on the books it read. It was impossible for it to have a deeper understanding.

“No,” Old Madam Wang said. “You have to be yourself. Don’t be like Grandma or anyone else. Grandma only hopes that you’ll always know that before you do anything, you have to think about it. There’s a group of people who will always be worried about you. Even if you’re 100% confident, you have to reduce that confidence to 80%. The remaining 20% of caution is in consideration of us.”

“All Yu understands.”

“Alright, you must be tired too. Go and rest well. No one will disturb you.”

“What if the officials sends someone—”

“Be good and go to sleep. Grandma is here.”

This was a huge matter. It was not something that could be resolved with just one archway or a few noble titles.

With this thought, Old Madam Wang waited for Ah Yu to fall asleep. She walked out of the door, patted her clothes, and went to look for Liu Shi.

Liu Shi was also a little tired at this moment. She had been busy the entire day and things only came to an end in the middle of the night. She was really tired.

However, it still seemed too early to go to bed. She couldn’t muster the energy to do anything, so she leaned against the garden and weaved some flowers, planning to bring them to Ah Yu’s room later.

“Mother, why are you here?” Seeing Old Madam Wang, Liu Shi hurriedly sat up.

Old Madam Wang waved her hand and sat down opposite her. “I came because I want you to accompany me to do something…”

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking, Ah Yu’s consciousness was in her spatial pocket, fiddling with something in front of her.

“Is this the gift 1 received on this mission?” Ah Yu looked at the huge item in front of her and felt her expression lose control.

She seemed to have never seen such a huge gift before. It was nothing else but an incomparably huge golden cauldron!

This cauldron had nine dragon heads, and the expressions of each dragon head were different. Some glared, some narrowed their eyes, some had jade pearls in their mouths, and some looked like they were flying in the sky.

The entire golden cauldron was adorned with exquisite patterns, and its three majestic legs underneath left a lasting impression on anyone who saw it.

“Elf, what is this for? Moreover, it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with me.” Ah Yu was indeed puzzled. Even if the gifts she usually received were generally useless to her, they could be used every once in a while. However, she really couldn’t think of any use for this cauldron..
