Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 1052: Chapter 1053: If It’s Not Enough, Come and Ask Me for More

Gong Juese didn’t dwell on Meng Lanqing’s words but instead said, ”I just saw a person in black scaling the wall and fleeing; they were quite skilled. It’s probably too late to chase them now. However, my lord, the security at your mansion is terrible. If we weren’t right next door, my brother might already be gone.”

Meng Lanqing said, ”Although I am a General, I am only one in name, without real power, so naturally, there are not many guards to ensure the safety of the people in the mansion.”

Gong Juechen immediately exclaimed in fear, ”This place is so unsafe, and that person was clearly after me, what am I going to do, what am I going to do?”

Meng Lanqing really wanted to say that there were still some Protectors in the General’s mansion and it wasn’t that unsafe; it was just that the intruder in black was very skilled.

After a moment of silence, Meng Lanqing didn’t mention this but instead asked seriously, ”Whom have you offended?”

Gong Juechen replied, ”The number of people I’ve offended is countless, how would I know who I’ve offended?”

Meng Lanqing: ”...”

”No, I can’t stay here any longer, I really don’t want to die yet,” Gong Juechen hurriedly got up to get dressed. ”I’m going to stay with Jingjing and Changyi; it’s safer there. Se Se, you escort me over, I’m afraid I might encounter someone who wants to kill me on the way, I really don’t want to die, I haven’t even seen my chubby nephew grow up yet.”

Meng Lanqing thought Gong Juechen was being a bit too cowardly, but considering that Prince Yi’s Mansion was indeed safer than the General’s mansion, Meng Lanqing did not stop Gong Juechen from making a fuss.

After all, the intruder in black had targeted Gong Juechen.

If Gong Juechen could live in a safer place, Meng Lanqing did not object in the slightest, in fact, he was very much in favor.

This man was also his wife’s brother.

He certainly did not want any harm to come to him.

”Brother, why do you always say my son is fat?!” Gong Juese was dissatisfied. Very dissatisfied. She really minded this matter.

While continuing to dress, Gong Juechen said, ”Your son is indeed fat. I’ve seen many children, but my chubby nephew has grown into such a big lump.”

Meng Lanqing: ”...”, Are you really okay with speaking about my son, your nephew, like that?

”My son is full-figured!” Gong Juese argued indignanty. ”My mother-in-law said that children like this are blessed! If you talk about my son being fat again, I won’t take you to Jingjing and Brother Changyi’s!”

”Alright, alright, I won’t say it anymore, your son is the skinniest, my nephew is the skinniest, holding him is so comfortable, are you happy now?” Once Gong Juechen was dressed, he started packing up more things to bring to Prince Yi’s Mansion.

Only then was Gong Juese satisfied; she was no longer angry and even started to happily help Gong Juechen pack.

However, Gong Juechen didn’t let her do the packing and instead said, ”Give me three thousand taels. I’m going to someone else’s house to stay; I should at least bring some money with me.”

Gong Juese had never used Meng Lanqing’s money before—it was all her brother’s money with her, and there was a lot of it—so Gong Juese gave the money very readily, not just three thousand taels but five thousand taels in silver notes.

Moreover, Gong Juese even instructed, ”If it’s not enough, come ask me for more.”

”Okay.”

Once Gong Juechen had packed the things he wanted to take to Prince Yi’s Mansion, he asked Gong Juese to escort him there.

Meng Lanqing, seeing that it was the middle of the night, felt somewhat uneasy and decided to accompany Gong Juese in escorting Gong Juechen.

While Meng Lanqing and Gong Juese were escorting Gong Juechen to Prince Yi’s Mansion, elsewhere, at General Han’s mansion, Han Xinrui was anxiously waiting for his brother to return.
