Yingbao: “Why should I go with you? What exactly do you want to do? Xiao Mo, you swore in the past that if you harm my family, you would be struck down by divine wrath and would not have a peaceful death.

Xiao Mo frowned: “I won’t hurt you, nor will I hurt your family. Yingbao, don’t be stubborn.”

Seeing that Yingbao still remained extremely vigilant, Xiao Mo’s face darkened, and he slowly raised his hand.

Suddenly, several men cloaked in black robes and wearing masks appeared behind him, rushing straight towards Yingbao.

Yingbao stepped back a few paces, and a dagger over a foot long suddenly appeared in her hand.

It was something she had kept before, ready to be used for self-defence.

The black-robed figures were closing in, but Yingbao stayed undaunted. In the span of a lightning flash, she had already exchanged a few blows with them.

Upon seeing this, passersby scattered to avoid danger, accidentally knocking over several lantern stands amidst the chaos.

Both adults and children cried out in shock as the entire marketplace fell into chaos. Everyone fled as far as possible from the scene of the fight.

The guards from the Princess Residence wanted to come and help, but their masters were caught up with those figures. They moved so quickly that it was impossible to tell friend from foe.

In just a moment, the cloaked figures lay beaten on the ground, with the remaining few severely injured and bleeding heavily.

Xiao Mo’s face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Ordinary men were all but useless!

He cursed the fact that the injuries to his legs prevented him from taking action himself. Otherwise, why would he have to go to such great lengths for a mere mischievous sprite like her?

Seeing Yingbao rushing towards him, the dagger in her hand flashing coldly, Xiao Mo could not help but sigh, disappearing into the darkness in an instant.

With Xiao Mo’s departure, the immediate crisis was averted.

Yingbao did not dare to pursue him into the darkness, so she could only retreat.

“Princess! Are you alright?” The guards rushed over to ask.

Yingbao: “I’m fine. Tie up any surviving assassins.”

“Yes!” The guards quickly restrained the injured cloak figures.

However, it wasn’t long before all the injured black-robed figures breathed their last.

Yingbao had anticipated this. She wiped her dagger clean, had the guards go to the County Government to call for people to take care of the assassin bodies, glanced towards the street from the steps, then turned and retreated to the residence.

Chunniang and Erniang hurried over, “Baobao, what happened?”

“Some assassins came, but I’ve taken care of it.” Yingbao said: “Mother, you all must stay at home in the near future. Don’t go anywhere.”

She couldn’t be certain whether Xiao Mo would come again, nor could she guarantee that he would definitely keep his promise.

Yingbao was just curious as to why he wanted her to go with him.

Was it really to demand and claim back whatever he had lost?

Chunniang didn’t understand, but she still nodded her head: “Baobao, don’t worry. We won’t go anywhere. But who sent those assassins?”

“It was Xiao Mo.” Yingbao said: “Mother, why don’t you and my aunts go back to your rooms to rest. I have some things to take care of and will fill you all in tomorrow.”

After speaking, she had the maids send her mother and her aunts along with Erniang back to their rooms. She then went to the study alone.

“Xuanwu, come out.” She sat down in the chair and called out to the little turtle.

A glint of golden light flashed, and the little turtle was lazing on the table.

Yingbao stroked the little turtle’s head and asked: “Why does Xiao Mo want to take me away?”

Xuanwu rolled his eyes: “How should I know? Perhaps he’s become obsessed with an idea, which is tormenting his heart.”

Yingbao frowned and thought for a moment before asking again: “Why does he call me a mischievous sprite?”

Xuanwu shook his head: “I don’t know, I’m not a Bai Ze, how could I know everything?”

“But you’re the divine beast Xuanwu, isn’t the ‘Tianyan Book’ transformed from your turtle shell? Foresighting with it shouldn’t be hard.”

“That’s wishful thinking!” Xuanwu immediately bristled, indignant, and went to one side, protesting, “Every foresight takes away a hundred years of my cultivation base, just for a boring question, are you insane?”

Yingbao regretfully shook her head, “Alright, never mind. I was just curious.”

Xuanwu was silent for a moment, then slowly began: “The Supreme Immortal’s family was built on dragon-slaying for thousands of years. That’s all I’m telling you.”

Yingbao squinted her eyes slightly: “Dragon-slaying?”

Xuanwu said no more, suddenly transformed into a golden light, and flew into Yingbao’s forehead.

The door of the study was pushed open, and Wei Zhan strode in.

“Yingbao, what happened earlier?” He held his wife’s shoulders to carefully examine her: “Are you hurt?”

“No.” Yingbao leaned against his chest, closing her eyes and listened to Wei Zhan’s frantic heartbeat.

Wei Zhan held his wife, after a long while, he asked, “What did Xiao Mo want to do here?”

Yingbao: “He asked me to go with him.”

Wei Zhan became immediately enraged: “Did he really say that?”

“Yes, I’ve killed all his dark guards, so he ran away.” Yingbao told the truth.

Wei Zhan’s heart tightened, he kissed the top of his wife’s head and gently patted her back, “Are you tired? If he dares to come again, I will seek revenge for you!”

“Okay.”

Who could expect that Xiao Mo didn’t show up till the end of the first lunar month.

On this day, Yingbao prepared to return to Zhouhe County, intending to leave a few guards to watch over her parents, but Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang firmly disagreed.

“We have several servants in the house, why do we need guards? And I’m not going anywhere, just staying at home to cultivate mushrooms and raise some chickens and ducks. Oh yes, I originally wanted to bring Youyou to the county town, but Youyou didn’t want to come, so he is now being taken care of by my eldest uncle.”

Chunniang held her daughter’s hand: “Don’t worry and take care of your own business. You can leave the household affairs to us. If you have time, come home and see us.”

Yingbao nodded.

If it wasn’t for the slew of matters waiting for her in Zhouhe County, she would want to stay in Qinchuan County all the time.

After saying goodbye to her parents, Yingbao climbed onto the carriage, then poked her head out to wave at them.

Jiang Sanlang and Chunniang also waved back at their daughter, “Be careful on the road.”

The carriage gradually moved away until they could no longer see it. Only then did Chunniang turn her head and said to her eldest sister-in-law, who was wiping her tears: “Elder sister, Xiaolang is working for his cousin-in-law now, he will definitely make something of himself in the future, so don’t worry.”

Jiang Yunniang sighed: “I’m not worried, just a bit sad. If it wasn’t for his irresponsible mother, why would he have to leave his home at such a young age?”

Moreover, Xiaolang was raised by her, there was no difference from her own child, his departure was heart-wrenching, who knows when they would be reunited again.

Chunniang stayed silent.

She suddenly remembered her two sons, who were only two or three years older than Xiaolang, but they were now thousands of miles away in Beijing.

Just like that, March in the lunar calendar arrived amid a light spring breeze.

Wuyang was now a little over a year old and could take a few steps with Anrou’s assistance.

These days, Yingbao would bring them along with Wei Zhan to the nearby rural towns for a walk and to enjoy the spring scenery.

When the carriage stopped for rest, Xiaolang snapped off a few tender willow branches from the riverside and wove two willow-branch hats, one for Wuyang and the other for Wei Fanzhi.

The two children were ecstatic, and Wuyang even shook off Anrou’s hand, wobbled a few steps, fell, then got back up again to keep walking.

In a trice, he had solidified his footing.

“Commandery Princess, look! Wuyang can walk. He learned to walk without the use of restraint cords!” Xinghua exclaimed with delight.
