I’m the Farmgirl You Can’t Mess With
Chapter 848 - Chapter 848 Reluctance

Chapter 848: Reluctance Chapter 848: Reluctance Editor: Atlas Studios Everyone had their own interests and areas of expertise.

Qi Haoran’s expertise was in the military, while Fan Zijin’s was in economic matters.

Naturally, Zijin had a blueprint in his heart and was truly fighting for his ideals at this moment.

He liked this invigorating feeling.

Seeing the sparkle in Fan Zijin’s eyes, Qi Haoran was happy for him.

“Do you want me to assign you a few guards?

Considering Guangdong is a barbaric place, you should bring more people to ensure your safety.” “I was about to ask you for manpower even if you didn’t offer.” “What about my sister-in-law and nephew?” “They will stay in the capital for the time being.

When I settle down there, you can send them to me.” Fan Zijin did not want to be separated from his wife and children for too long either.

Qi Haoran naturally agreed.

The two of them then went to the Palace of Earthly Tranquility to pick up their children and bring them home.

In the Palace of Earthly Tranquility, other than the Crown Prince and Princess Mingzhu, there was also the half-year-old Second Prince.

The Second Prince was born by Concubine Zhao, and right now, there were two Noble Ladies who were pregnant.

One of them would give birth soon.

There were not many women in Qi Xiuyuan’s harem, only five or six.

However, with Li Jinghua at the helm in the harem, there had never been a miscarriage.

Therefore, one concubine had safely given birth to the Second Prince, and no mishaps had happened to the other two pregnant ones either.

Even though Qi Haoran had never seen the Second Prince before, he liked his nephew very much.

He hugged the kid in his arms and coaxed him.

After stuffing him with a pile of gifts, he left the palace with his wife and children.

Fan Zijin also led Little Madam Xia and Little An out of the palace.

Qi Xiuyuan had already gotten someone to renovate the former Minister Qin’s residence and hang a plaque on Prince Rong’s residence.

Hence, Qi Haoran did not return to the Qi Residence this time.

Instead, he directly moved into his Prince’s Residence.

The Prince’s Residence was only a street away from Fan Zijin’s Duke’s Residence, so when they reached an intersection, Fan Zijin said, “If there’s anything lacking in your residence, just send your steward to my place to get it.” Qi Haoran agreed without hesitation.

The twins could not bear to part with Little An.

When the three of them were in Qiannan, even though they didn’t live together, they always hung out together.

They were not used to living so far away.

The two of them opened the carriage curtain and squeezed their heads out to shout at the carriage beside them, “Brother Little An, remember to come and play with us tomorrow.” Little An also lifted the curtain and shouted, “Come to my house.

We’ll compare whose house is more fun and we’ll go to that house in the future.” The two little friends agreed happily.

Although the Duke’s Residence was quite big and exquisite, in terms of exquisiteness and opulence, it was really inferior to the Prince’s Residence.

After all, Prince Rong’s residence used to be Minister Qin’s residence.

Back then, the powerful Minister Qin had spent a lot of effort to build his Prime Minister’s Residence.

He’d sent his men to dig out the best stones by the lake from Taihu Lake.

Although they’d destroyed quite a bit of flooring by digging three feet deep in order to find the treasury’s silver, the scenery and layout inside were not damaged, and the building structure was still intact.

Therefore, the now-repaired Prince’s Residence was in no way inferior to the palace.

The three children observed both residences for a few days and finally concluded that Prince Rong’s Residence was prettier.

Hence, they set their base at the Prince’s residence.

Every day, after waking up, Little An would come over in a carriage to play with them.

He would rest here at noon and his mother would come over in the afternoon.

When Fan Zijin got off work, he would bring his wife and son home.

Little An definitely felt happier here than when he was in Ju Prefecture.

This was because not only did he have his mother with him, but he also had brothers and his father by his side.

However, he did not expect such blissful days to be so shortaEUR”Fan Zijin was preparing to go to Guangdong to take up his post.

Seeing his mother packing his luggage, Little An thought that they were going to move to another region.

Unexpectedly, it was his father who was leaving.

Little An immediately wailed and clung to Fan Zijin’s pants, refusing to let go.

Even when he slept at night, he refused to let go of Fan Zijin’s pants.

Otherwise, he would definitely cry until no one could sleep.

The next day, Fan Zijin carried Little An to look for the twins with dark circles under his eyes.

Little An’s eyes were still red as he leaned against his father’s chest aggrievedly.

When he saw the twins, he pouted and cried, “My father doesn’t want me anymore.

He wants to leave.” When Tiger Head and Little Lion heard this, they were instantly filled with righteous indignation.

The two of them rushed forward and punched Fan Zijin, shouting, “Baddie, put Little An down quickly!” Though a little embarrassed, Fan Zijin couldn’t bear to say harsh words to Little An.

He only said gently, “It’s not that Daddy doesn’t want you anymore.

I’ll get someone to pick you and your mother up after I settle down.

By then, our family will be reunited again.” Stunned, Little Lion asked, “Brother Little An, you’re not playing with us anymore?” Fan Zijin reassured Little An and rubbed Little Lion’s hair.

“Tiger Head, your Brother Little An is a little sad.

You have to cheer him up, understand?” Little Lion rolled his eyes and said, “I’m not Tiger Head, I’m Lion.

HowlaEUR”” “I’m Tiger Head.” Tiger Head, who was standing at the side, squeezed in and looked at Fan Zijin eagerly.

Fan Zijin looked back and forth between the two of them before fixing his gaze on the numbers on their sleeves.

He asked, “Have you brothers switched your clothes again?” Since Qi Xiuyuan and the others had yet to learn how to differentiate between the twins, Mu Yangling specially asked someone to embroider the numbers two and three on their sleeves so that everyone would know who was who at a glance.

“No,” Little Lion denied.

“I’m wearing my own clothes.” “Nonsense.” Fan Zijin pointed at the second brother and asked, “Aren’t you the third brother?

Why are you wearing your second brother’s clothes?” “I’m the older one now.

My father and Tiger Head have agreed that I should be the older one between us two.” Tiger Head nodded repeatedly.

“I’m the Third Brother.

It’s Mother’s fault.

She didn’t tell us that there was a ranking embroidered on our sleeves and made us wear the wrong clothes for a few days.” Little Lion nodded solemnly.

“Fortunately, we’ve switched them back now.” Fan Zijin’s mouth fell open.

After a while, he said, “Your father is bold enough.

Your Royal Uncle hasn’t been informed about this, right?” Tiger Head asked curiously, “My father has always been very bold.” Fan Zijin chuckled and stuffed Little An into their hands.

“Don’t worry about your father’s guts.

You have to help me take good care of Little An.

Hang out with him and cheer him up, okay?” Little An looked at his father eagerly and asked, “Are you still picking me up tonight?” Fan Zijin stroked his chin and smiled.

“Of course.

Have fun with Little Bear and the rest.

I’ll only leave 20-odd days later.

Moreover, I’ll get someone to pick you up soon after I reach Guangdong.” Little An was still unhappy, but Fan Zijin couldn’t stay any longer.

He only comforted Little An a little more before rushing out of the residence.

Tiger Head and Little Lion grabbed Little An’s hands from both sides and said, “Let’s go.

We’ll bring you out to play.” “We’ve played those games before.

I don’t want to play anymore.” The teary-eyed Little An squatted on the flowerbed at the side, unwilling to move.

“I’ll bring you to see my father and Big Brother play in the water.” Tiger Head went forward to hold his hand and said, “Since you’re older than us, you can ask my father to bring you to play in the water too.” Little An’s eyes were filled with confusion.

“Play with water?

Aunt doesn’t let me play with water.” “Yes, yes.” Little Lion shouted, “My mother was the one who asked my father to bring my big brother to play in the water.

If you don’t believe me, I’ll bring you to see it.”
