It was just a guess, and there was no way to confirm anything. Although she also felt that there might be a conspiracy behind it, perhaps she wasn’t qualified for the throne…
Jiang Yue said, “We know too little about Beicheng. It’s better to send some people into Beicheng to take a look at how things are there. Now, we have cannons to intimidate them. If one day, their country also finds out how to make cannons, it will still be inevitable for the two countries to go to war.”
Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle.
Moreover, it was not appropriate to take any other actions rashly.
“I’ve already sent them in when I was in the Imperial Capital,” said Xue Yan.
“I see.” Jiang Yue nodded. Seeing that he had washed and wrung her socks, she stood up.
Xue Yan quickly helped her take the straw sandals.
Jiang Yue only glanced at him and did not say anything. She just let him take it. She was used to it. For so many years, since they were young, every time they were together, if there was anything beside them, regardless of whether he could carry it or not, he would always help them carry it first.
Xue Yan really reacted subconsciously.
By the time he reacted, there were two straw sandals in his hands.
He was a little embarrassed, but seeing that Jiang Yue didn’t seem to have any reaction, he shifted his eyes and went home with Jiang Yue.
When he got home, Xue Yan first put the straw sandals aside, then he washed the socks and hung them on the bamboo pole in the courtyard.
Li Hehua and the others were still in the courtyard. Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan were fine, but Yu Hongyan and Princess Jin were watching him dry his socks with amused eyes.
Even though his back was facing them, he still felt his ears burning.
When Liu Guixia and Shao Youyue saw this, they were secretly amused and did laugh out loud. At the same time, they patted Yu Hongyan and Princess Jin lightly as if they were protecting their children, telling them to restrain themselves.
Yu Hongyan and Princess Jin secretly giggled, but they didn’t laugh out loud and restrained themselves.
On the other hand, Jiang Yue helped Li Hehua pull water up from the well and washed the vegetables for her. She had seen the situation over there, but Xue Yan had always been very thin-skinned.
Just as he finished drying her socks, he heard the sound of carriages and the laughter of the children at home.
Xue Shi’s loud laughter kept their attention, he kept saying, “Giddyup! Go!” He seemed to be the one driving the carriage.
Jiang Yue had long guessed that Xue Shi would skip class and bring Xue Bai and the others back, so she was not surprised at all.
It had been so many years, Xue Yan was not surprised either.
Liu Guixia and the others were actually used to it, so of course, they were not surprised.
However, Yu Hongyan wasn’t surprised. She was immediately angered. She picked up a small branch and rushed out, shouting, “That d*mned child! He must have planned it again!”
Xue Shi had just driven the carriage to his house when he saw his mother rushing out with a twig, wanting to hit him. He was so frightened that he quickly jumped off the carriage and ran around his mother to hide behind his grandmother, Liu Guixia, who was closest to him. “Grandma, Grandma, quickly protect me. My mother is going to hit me again!”
Liu Guixia was overjoyed, but she still reached out to stop Yu Hongyan. “Why do you want to hit your son? Isn’t it Xue Yan’s birthday? He wouldn’t have skipped class and come back if it wasn’t for Xue Yan.”
Yu Hongyan said angrily, “But Mom, don’t you see how many classes he has skipped all year round? He always comes back no matter who’s birthday is. There are so many people in the family, and whenever something happens at home, he likes to come back. How many days can he go to school in a year if he keeps up with this?”
