The Rebirth of a Farm Girl from a Military Family and a Cannon Fodder Princess

Chapter 26 Arrival

Zisu handed Shen Laihui a purse: "Here are five hundred taels of silver notes and a dozen or so taels of loose silver. After you have fully recovered, go and buy a fine horse and other necessities for the journey. My wife and I will probably be setting off in three days. Consider this farewell. Take good care of yourself!"

Shen Laihui didn't stand on ceremony and took it without hesitation: "Miss, please rest assured, as long as I have a breath left, Lord Yu will definitely be alright! Please take good care of yourself during these three years, and I will repay you properly when I return from Yi County!"

After talking to Shen Laihui, who promised to protect her uncle, Zisu's mood brightened considerably.

Three days later, the small house belonging to my uncle was finally sold, just as he had predicted, for a total of five hundred taels of silver. Grandma, along with my younger cousin Yu Han, and Zisu and Madam Yu, embarked on their journey to Wuliping.

Halfway there, Madam Yu couldn't help but worry: "Zisu, do you think it would be a bit abrupt for us to go to your grandfather's old home like this? I'm worried that we might be driven away or bullied if we go there like this."

Zisu: "How could that be? When my father passed away, two uncles came from our hometown. They seemed quite honest and kind. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to decide to settle in Wuliping. Besides, when my father was alive, he donated three thousand taels of silver to our hometown to repair the ancestral hall and build a school. Logically speaking, if we go back, the clan chief should protect us!"

Madam Yu sighed, "It's all my fault for being useless. You're so young, and I still have to worry about you. I don't know what will happen to you after you leave. You'll suffer so much!" As she spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.

Zisu quickly comforted her, "I don't feel bitter. As long as you take good care of yourself and give birth to my younger brother, that's better than anything else! Don't worry, Mother. The people of Wuliping will definitely treat us well. Not to mention, Grandpa still has a brother who is alive! I heard Father say that he is a very kind old man, and he will definitely stand on our side!"

Madam Yu forced a smile and said, "Mother understands." Sigh, let's just take it one step at a time!

From the capital to the county town where Wuliping is located, it would only take two days by fast horse. However, because Yu was pregnant and they were traveling by carriage, the journey was much slower, and it took them five days to finally reach the county town.

As agreed with her mother on the way, the group first stayed at an inn. The next morning, Zisu took Xiangli and, accompanied by Uncle Li and a bodyguard, went to the brokerage firm to rent a two-courtyard house. They cleaned it up and moved in that same day.

After resting for three days, once Madam Yu's emotions had stabilized, Zisu discussed with her: "Mother, Grandma will stay here with you. Uncle Li, a bodyguard, and I will go to Wuliping to pay our respects to the clansmen and buy land to build a house."

Madam Yu: "Go ahead, take another bodyguard with you! Mother won't be going out, she'll just stay at home, she doesn't need so many people protecting her!"

"Well, that's fine. I know it will be a few days before I return, so please take good care of yourself, Mother! I'll take Aunt Yao with me, and Aunt Cai can stay here with you!" Zisu thought for a moment, "Mother, please take good care of yourself!" Zisu thought about it, there were five bodyguards in total, even with two of them, there would still be three left, so she agreed.

Aunt Yao and Aunt Cai are both female bodyguards, and they both look to be in their early twenties.
