Chapter 2440: Chapter 2440: Let me handle it

...

Inside the treehouse, Qian Jiyun quickly received the message from the secret guards and conveyed to him the exact conversation from Auntie Mei’s house.

His eyes flickered subtly as he gazed into the distance, a faint smile played at the corners of his mouth.

"It’s been many years since I’ve returned, but it seems there’s quite a character emerging in the village." An Jiuyue rested her chin on one hand, shaking her head with an amused smile.

She knew Auntie Mei, but didn’t really understand what kind of person her mother-in-law was.

An Clan Village is truly a place of unexpected talents. Just one person becomes a scholar, and they think they’re an emperor?

"What kind of person is that scholar?" she asked.

But just as she spoke, she silently cursed herself.

What kind of question was that? It’s not like she hadn’t seen that scholar—high and mighty, thinking he’s the only one worthy in the land, as if passing one level can make him the top scholar.

A person like that couldn’t possibly be well-liked in the village.

"Princess Consort, that scholar..."

The secret guard was just about to say the scholar wasn’t much, but seeing An Jiuyue raise her hand to signal him to stop, he immediately shut his mouth and said no more.

"A scholar like that, as you mentioned earlier, needn’t exist any longer." An Jiuyue turned to look at Qian Jiyun, who was holding the little baby, and spoke.

Even if such a scholar were to truly succeed and become renowned later, they would only bring disaster to the people, benefiting them is entirely impossible.

Therefore, now that they haven’t made a name for themselves, just let them peacefully tend their fields.

However, before the title of scholar gets stripped from that person, the farmland owed to the villagers must be returned. This must be done well, one shouldn’t let the people of An Clan Village suffer grievance because of one person.

Not everyone is like Auntie Mei’s family.

"Go do it."

Qian Jiyun instructed the secret guard.

This is just a small task, anyone here can handle it easily.

"Big brother, sister-in-law, let me handle this." An Jiuyue stood up, speaking softly.

She’s encountered that scholar a couple of times, both times when she was picking mushrooms or doing other things in the mountains, ’accidentally’ running into them. After that, she always avoided the people from the village, not wanting too much trouble.

Now, those people dare say whatever they want, treating her like a fool?

She’s not some timid little cat; when it’s time to show her claws, she won’t be soft-hearted. Let them see the consequences of offending her.

"You... alright, you take care of it, I’ll let the secret guards accompany you." Qian Jiyun looked at his sister, hesitated only briefly, then agreed.

Since the matter arose from An Jiuyue, let her handle it herself. Everything has a beginning, and An Jiuyue will eventually have to enter Huayan Peak or Wulong Mountain, let it start with that scholar.

"Thank you, big brother."

An Jiuyue nodded, and seeing her sister-in-law caring for the two children, she left with the secret guards.

"Treehouse, Zhou’er, what do you want to eat? Mommy will make dinner for you today, okay?" After An Jiuyue left, An Jiuyue pulled the two little ones onto her lap, one on each side, and asked them.

"Mommy... um."

Little Nuonuo instinctively wanted to answer his mother’s question.

But before he spoke, he remembered his mother was asking his brothers, so he quickly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
