<h4>183 Return to Their Territory</h4>


    Jun family territory


    Jun Hua stared outside. The numbers of people here have grown even more. The family members of the soldiers of Jun family are all here. Jun Hua stopped the carriage in front of the governor office building. She steps out and a few servantse to greet her.


    "Miss Hua, is there anything you need?"


    Jun Hua looked around. "Jun Kang, where is he?"


    "He is inside."


    Walking towards the building, Jun Hua noticed the people here worked hard. She hopes that they didn''t only do that because of her, but because it is their job. Inside the building, they take her to a small room where a boy around 14 of age is looking through the paper. He stopped when he noticed theming.


    "Sister Hua!" the boy smiled. "Youe!"


    Jun Hua nodded. Jun Kang is Lin Kang new name. Because he''s already considered dead, Jun Qing chooses to take him into the Jun family and rename him with their surname. Since he''s quite smart, he was appointed to help in the governor office.


    "How''s your work, Jun Kang?"


    "There''s a lot, but its fun. Let me take you to meet with mother, she will be happy to see you again," Jun Kang stands up happily. Before he was still a bit shorter than Jun Hua, but now he''s already a few centimeters higher. It seems the boys are all growing so quickly.


    Jun Hua didn''t decline, but she reminds him to finish his jobter. Concubine Qi is now using her previous name, Qi Mei, and live with taking care of a store.


    "Mother, I''m bringing a guest."


    Qi Mei raised her head in surprise. "My, Lady Hua, what an unexpected surprise."


    "I see you have been good here, Madam Yu."


    Qi Mei smiled. Although it is harder to maintain a business here, it is easier than contending against the woman scheme. Besides, she is happy to work here and her son could learn as an officials. For her, everything is great.


    "Yes, I feel really happy here. Is there anything important happened, Lady Hua?"


    "There will be a war soon, so I want you to stay alert. However, you don''t have to worry. I won''t let theme here."


    Qi Mei nodded. "You have to take care of yourself."


    Jun Hua and the two chatted for a bit. They never got the chance to have a proper talk before now. Previously, Jun Hua is talking to them out of interest because Jun Kan is selected at the hunt event. But now, she is talking because she wants to.


    She cannot stay for long and after ensuring that they are fine, she left. Qi Mei also told Jun Kang to continue his job and learn. The meeting is short, but it''s warm.


    Jun Hua walks to the carriage again. "How many days left before my uncle marriage?"


    "There are still 12 days."


    "Let''s head to the Guo vige first before going to Mountain Kingdom."


    "Yes Miss."


    Jun Hua turned her head sideways, thend of Ming Kingdom. How many yearster will she get the chance to step here again? She is wondering what her future would be. Maybe her family would ask her to get married before the plot finished, which she might refuse. Or they might want her to participate in politic too, which she obviously will try to object as much as possible.


    She stopped her train of thoughts. "What is it, Yasha?"


    "Miss, there is news from the capital. The Lan family is attacked by the angry citizen. Aside from that, some of their ces are raided by bandits."


    Jun Hua smiled a bit. "It''s not the bandit."


    It''s Soujin. He must have incited the people to raise their hand against the Lan family. Then using his own people to raid the Lan family. It seems both of them are truly amazing. They used their own way to make the Lan family answered their question of why they targeted Jun Min.


    "Miss?"


    "You''re dismissed."


    Jun Hua thinks about them. They are truly good friends, where can she find someone like them again? Maybe, their meeting that day is truly fated, but it''s a cruel fate.


    Good friends be enemies just because of differences in ce. But, it can''t be helped, this era has forced them to cross des against each other.


    …


    Capital of Ming Kingdom


    Yan looks towards the report calmly. He received news about Nanglong family departure, then the attack on Lan family.


    "Good grief, that Soujin is sure vicious," Yan looks towards the report with a headache. The loss of money from the raid is not in any case lower than what they lost from the failed business with Young Noble Han. The problem is, this method of Soujin would decrease the profit Yan would get in the future.


    "Never mind, I still could pick up the other business. It''s not like he destroyed them all," despite feeling remorseful, Yan cannot say anything. He can''t possibly berate Soujin for his action of doing that because his action too was his selfishness.


    Yan smirked when he thinks about the Lan family. They must be feeling chaotic that their business failed one by one and tragedy strikes them repeatedly. But, to pinpoint the culprit is hard, the three actions are done by three different people with difference force of their own. They must be feeling frustrated over the three actions done here.


    "Shu, has the permite out?" Yan turned towards his servant.


    Shu nodded. "Because of their matter, the permit this time is easier to get."


    "I will visit my mother first. You guard the way."


    "Yes Master."


    Yan stands up and walked to the Cold Pce. Cold Pce is the ce for those who oppose the emperor and those who he doesn''t want to see anymore. Although the name is good, it''s truly a cold ce where people who stays there are not allowed to get out anymore. They can only see the things outside without any chance to experience it anymore.


    He doesn''t like this ce, but he will stille here every time he got the chance. The permission to get inside is hard to get, but since he''s a troublemaker prince without much support, the emperor let him do what he wants.


    Showing the permit, Yan get inside.
