Peaceful Farm Life

Chapter 2552: Chapter 2553: Return to Tianyun (119)

An Jing exchanged a look with Su Changyi, then nodded and smiled, ”She’s truly a remarkable talent. Your father and I would like to meet her, but her family will likely be celebrating her success in the martial arts examination these days. Send someone to issue a royal summons for your father and I, saying that she should come to the Royal Palace in three days. We want to see her.”

”Yes.” Su Yi Jing agreed, and sent someone the next day to issue the summons.

After Su Yi Jing left, only An Jing and Su Changyi remained in the room. Only then did An Jing and Su Changyi discuss whether Huo Xiner was actually from the present time.

”Husband, I think she definitely is. This is ’The Art of War by Sun Tzu.’ I can’t be mistaken. If she’s not a modern person, then she is from my original world.”

Su Changyi had also traveled to the modern era before and was naturally familiar with ”The Art of War by Sun Tzu.” Hearing An Jing’s words, he nodded, ”In any case, she isn’t originally from the world we currently reside in. It’s good to meet her. If she has good intentions, she’ll be of great use; if not, it’s better to eliminate her now to prevent future troubles.”

An Jing laughed, ”You were betting on her becoming Martial Champion because she shares a name with Xiner. Now you’re considering eliminating her.”

”That’s another matter.”

An Jing nodded in agreement. After thinking for a moment, she said, ”Both Gong Juechen and Ye Zi have met her. From what Ye Zi implies, this Huo Xiner doesn’t seem to have bad intentions.”

”We’ll discuss it further after we’ve met her.” He didn’t want to form any conclusions at the moment.

”Indeed.” An Jing nodded in agreement.

Just then, An Yiqing rushed in urgently, ”Dad, dad, dad, can’t you not take the ten million taels you won?”

An Jing burst into laughter instantly, ”What, are you trying to dodge your debts with your father now?”

An Yiqing chuckled, ”It’s not that I’m trying to dodge debts. The money I earn isn’t for my own use, it’s for the people of Tianyun. Mom, please speak to dad and ask him not to take it back, okay~”

”You’re grown up now, still trying to act cute with your mom. Okay, there’s no need to talk to your dad; I’ll make the decision. Your dad won’t take the ten million taels, but you must return the original hundred thousand taels to me. How can you only receive without giving? Even if you didn’t win a single coin, your dad shouldn’t lose his principal.”

”Thank you, mom! It’s just that I only brought dad’s hundred thousand taels of principal. Here, take it!”

An Jing couldn’t help but laugh as she accepted the silver note of hundred thousand taels, while saying, ”Consider it a lesson for you. You were too complacent before, and even underestimated others a little.”

An Yiqing mumbled, ”Who knew that Huo Xiner was a military prodigy.”

Su Changyi kept a stern face, ”Underestimating others and blaming them, do you believe I will ask you for those ten million taels again?”

An Yiqing quickly knelt in front of Su Changyi and hugged one of Su Changyi’s legs, ”Dad, dad, dad, please don’t be angry. It’s all my fault; I should never have acted like that. Considering all my hard work even though I didn’t get a single coin for myself, please don’t hold it against me.”

Only then did Su Changyi’s expression soften.

An Jing smiled while pulling An Yiqing up and asked, ”You don’t have to compensate your dad that much, so you must have profited quite a bit, right?”

An Yiqing sat beside An Jing and smiled, ”Yes, I made quite a profit. The roads in Tianming County haven’t been repaired yet, so it’s just right to allocate this sum for the repairs.”

An Jing nodded in satisfaction.

An Yiqing then pulled a long face, ”My father-in-law clearly lost ten thousand taels, yet refuses to acknowledge it. To appease him, I had to return his ten thousand taels to him.”
