Seeing Zhou E strode away quickly, Li Ran calmly sorted out the problems she was facing:

First, the arrival of the five brothers of the An family is a big deal, but she has already handed over to Xie Ze. What she has to deal with is just some detailed tasks, such as the old lady of the Wang family:

Mrs. An old lady.

This old lady started from the can of the old An family's injury medicine that had been invalid for her. Maybe she started to think about the An family since she heard of her.

Now that the An brothers are coming, I have to meet her and talk to her in person.

Perhaps, she knew more about An’s plans than the An’s brothers.

What I know is more and more clear, and it is better for Xie Ze and the An brothers.

Secondly, I am really short of staff!

Her reservation collapsed at the moment before the An family brother arrived... No, it was the arrival of the An family brothers who brought the collapse a few days ago, otherwise, she would also collapse after the twelfth lunar month.

Well, the sooner the better.

Third...

Let’s talk about what happened next when we meet Mrs. An and the staff are here.

Li Ran called Madam Sang who had been waiting at the door with her hands down and ordered:

"You go there in person and ask Mrs. Xie. If Mrs. An has time, please come here together, as soon as possible."

"Yes." Madam Sang responded first, hesitated for a while, looked up at Li Ran, "Would the princess discuss with the prince first?"

"What to discuss?"

Li Ran was stunned and then woke up, was silent for a moment, and looked at Madam Sang and said:

"I don't think I should discuss everything with the prince first. I will make decisions about small things myself. This is something I can make decisions by myself. You go."

"Yes!" Madam Sang's response was obviously louder than before.

Li Ran looked at her more.

Well, a strong boss is much more pleasant than a boss who cannot be self-dedicated in everything.

She can understand her mood.

Mrs. Xie and Mrs. An arrived very quickly.

Li Ran thought that they would arrive soon, but their arrival was faster than her expectations.

Before Li Ran could meet at the gate of the yard, she had just left the drooping flower gate. Mrs. Xie Xu supported Mrs. An and had already entered the gate of the yard.

Li Ran stopped and looked at Mrs. Xie and Mrs. An who were walking fast.

"The one who came in from the corner gate was the meaning of Mrs. An." Madam Sang, who had originally walked two steps ahead, hurriedly trotted a few steps and explained quickly to Li Ran.

"Yeah." Li Ran said nodded.

This trip is indeed the best way to enter and exit the corner gate quietly.

"Go into the house and talk." After three or four steps away, Li Ran spoke first.

Mrs. Xie nodded with a smile, and Mrs. An responded with a smile, and then turned around and went upstairs into the room.

After entering the upper room, Zijia and others acted very quickly to serve the three of them to the cloak and served tea. Without Li Ran's instructions, they withdrew their hands and left. Zijia and Madam Sang were guarding outside the upper room door.

"In the morning, five brothers came to see me and said that my surname was An."

Seeing Zijia and others withdraw, Li Ran looked at Mrs. An and got straight to the point.

"I know, I sent a letter to ask them to set off, but I didn't expect it to be here today."

Mrs. An's answer was even more straightforward.

"The An family has always been under the care of the old lady?" Li Ran looked at the old lady.

"No, I can't take care of the An family. After An family settled in Nanxi, they kept their names hidden and had a hard time living. When I knew it, it was already three years since Kaiping. The old lady of the An family sent someone to me, namely Wang Cui and Shen Mai.

Before, I sent people to Nanxi almost every year, but I didn’t dare to inquire openly, just go over and take a look."

Mrs. An's tone was calm and smiling.

Mrs. Xie was slightly surprised and moved when she heard this. The An family was hidden in Nanxi, and the old lady sent people to Nanxi every year to find them... She didn't know about these things until she just heard them.

Well, it was Wang Cui and Shen Mai. It was the day she got the entrustment that she realized that these two old ladies who kept silent all day long were old people in the An family...

"I want to say a few words to the old lady." Li Ran looked at Mrs. Xie.

"Don't let her avoid it. No matter what the princess wants to say, she can know."

Old Mrs. An looked at Li Ran with a smile.

"I am so old that I can wait for the time to return. In the future, all these things will be entrusted to her."

"Well. What are the plans of the An family?" Li Ran asked at Mrs. An.

"After the An family left the battlefield for a long time, the An family will no longer be An family.

The old lady of the An family and me all think so.

Therefore, the An family should only hide in Nanxi temporarily. If you hide for a long time, it will not hide, but will disappear.

Even if there is no girl, the An family will leave Nanxi and join the army.

But, far less than that now…”

Mrs. An paused slightly, looked at Li Ran, and lowered her voice: "Bento."

"According to the rules of the An family, the An family brothers should have joined the army ten years ago."

Mrs. Xie looked at Li Ran and answered:

"But, the An family only had five brothers left. Even the old lady of the An family was not cruel and sent them into the army and started fighting in the array...

If you want to lose money and settle down, you will be defeated."

"This is contrary to the family motto of An's family, but..."

"The family motto of An's family is not afraid of death and not giving up on life?"

Seeing Mrs. An nodding, Li Ran continued: "Whether you have to weigh the pros and cons of life and death, you have to choose. This is not a violation, I understand."

Mrs. An nodded and did not answer any more.

“I need manpower.”

Li Ran turned to Mrs. Xie.

Mrs. Xie smiled, "It's all ready."

"Well, let's divide it into two or three batches, and I don't care about it. Old lady."

Li Ran turned to Mrs. An.

"You also saw that, around me, there are all people from the Xie family. My wife's surname is Xie. She married in the Wang family and Wang Xie family. So she is a relative, how about settle down? Who are the old lady? Can you give me some?"

Mrs. Xie was tall and it took her a while to press down her eyebrows.

This girl, no, this princess, these words are really straightforward and clear!

"I've been married into the Wang family for decades."

Mrs. An stopped and laughed.

"The roots of the An family have always been in the army. The princess might as well take some veterans into the mansion, which is also very beneficial to the Xie family.

If there are old and old tribes like this, like the princess and princes, who originate from the old tribes but bring new things out, they are as remote as ancient mountains and forests after wildfires, sweeping away the old and decay for a hundred years and opening up the next hundred years of weather.

The ancestors of the Xie family have accumulated blessings.”

After a pause, Old Lady An smiled and said, "So too."

"The Wang family is the same." Li Ran glanced at Mrs. Xie and bowed slightly to the two of them.

"I'll ask the princess for her blessing. Then I won't bother the princess much. It will be the twelfth lunar month tomorrow. No matter how busy the princess is, she will have to rest.

This family matter is too busy.”

Mrs. An stood up while talking and joking.
