Chapter 956: Chapter 215: Get out!

Pei Qin left when Xixi had just turned one year old, the little child’s memory was poor, and after not seeing Pei Qin for half a year, she no longer recognized her mother.

Jiujiu always remembered to look for her mother, but seeing Pei Qin with a pale face wrapped in the quilt, it took her a good while before she dared to recognize her. "Mother—mother—" She plunged into Pei Qin’s arms, crying so loudly it shook the heavens.

Pei Qin gasped in pain from the hit to her chest and hugged her soft little body, scolding her with a laugh, "You little rascal!"

Xixi also looked for her mother every day, and seeing Jiujiu crying in Pei Qin’s arms, she also started wailing.

Grandma Fang, Lady Yu, Lady Ruan, and the others all had tears in their eyes.

After a noisy reunion, before much had been said, Mo Heng hurried everyone away, it was time for Pei Qin to take her medicine and rest.

"The room over there is all warmed up, why is it so cold in this room?" Fang Hui grumbled while holding her grandson, who had just turned a month old.

"During a time of war, where is there extra coal to burn!?" Grandma Fang scolded.

Fang Hui pouted, "Then what are we supposed to do? It’s so cold in the Capital Jingcheng, adults can endure the cold, but babies can’t!"

"I told you to go back and you wouldn’t, who asked you to come!?" Grandma Fang glared at her with a stern face.

Upon hearing this, Fang Hui immediately talked back, "If we all went back to Yuanyang County, wouldn’t we be home already! Without anyone to escort us, what if we run into bandits!?"

Grandma Fang felt a pain in her chest from anger and didn’t want to deal with her, "Then go find your place to stay, this courtyard can’t accommodate everyone!"

Fang Hui immediately looked upset, "Young Master Shen brought us here, is he not going to find a place for us!?"

Shen Songming’s journey to Runing Prefecture was out of the way, every time he passed by to see Pei Qin it was a detour, He was eager to head north and anxious about Pei Qin’s injuries, although he had people with him, their group was transporting a massive amount of supplies. If it hadn’t been for the hand grenades they carried, they would have been robbed by bandits on the way.

He couldn’t spare men to send Fang Hui and the others back to Yuanyang. There was no war in Runing Prefecture, everything was still fine. Fang Hui didn’t want to go, fearing being robbed by bandits. Shen Songming looked at Jiujiu and Xixi and the goods they were transporting with the team, how could he have extra men to escort them.

Feng Bo was even more eager to come to the Capital Jingcheng in search of opportunities. After the chaos of war, there was much to be rebuilt, he believed he could carve out a piece of the world for himself no matter what!

Feng Shouxing also felt that now was the time to take advantage of the situation. If he could make a fortune, then he would really strike it rich! Besides, Mo Heng was fighting wars with the Emperor, he had become a General, surely he would look out for the Feng family. It would be easier to make their way in the Capital Jingcheng! What was the point of going home? Just a few acres of land, and they had been abandoned for half a year, not to mention the dilapidated house at home, which couldn’t compare to the prosperity and wealth of the Capital Jingcheng!

With these calculations in mind, seeing Grandma Fang wanting to drive them away, he hurriedly apologized to her, pulling Fang Hui aside, "Hui Niang! How can you talk to mother like that! Mother is also thinking for our welfare, and we can’t thank her enough!" Then to Grandma Fang, he said, "Mother, don’t stoop to her level. Hui Niang is just shocked from the journey. In the Capital Jingcheng, we are all alone; we only have father, mother, and Qinqin’s family! If everyone turns their backs on us, we have no way to live!" He also played the poor and pitiful card.

Grandma Fang only nagged them because the children were young, she had thought that after seeing a battle with the Waci People and witnessing much life and death separation, they would improve, but to her dismay, they became even more unreasonable, which pained her heart.

"You have silver in your hands, how can you have no way to live?" Lady Yu glanced at them disdainfully; they had been together for more than half a year, and she, like Pei Qian, had grown to dislike Fang Hui and the Feng family.

"What silver do we have left? Our family of more than ten people, eating, drinking, and all that, it’s all been spent in this half-year," Feng Shouxing hurriedly said.

Lady Yu scoffed, "For this half-year, all the eating and drinking was on Young Master Shen’s account, do you have the nerve to say you spent money on eating and drinking and the like?"

"Our family didn’t have much money to begin with, we left in such a hurry. Even if we didn’t eat, other things still cost money! We’re not like you, who received the news early and have businesses and money in hand!" Fang Hui was growing more resentful of Lady Yu, blaming her for becoming so mean and venomous after marrying Pei Qian, that little wretch; it’s no wonder her older brother wanted nothing to do with such a wretch!

Lady Yu had strongly opposed bringing Fang Hui and the others to the Capital Jingcheng to find Pei Qin, "With your kind, what right do you have to rely on Qinqin!?"

"Look at what sister-in-law is saying, we’re Qinqin’s aunts and uncle by marriage, all family. Outsiders can lend a hand, but should you just watch indifferently as our family can’t make a living!?" Feng Shouxing chuckled.
