“So, when will it all go down?” She struggled to speak, her throat tight.

“It’s unclear. As you have seen, the current emperor is not a mediocre, helpless ruler. He is astute, hardworking, devoted to strengthening his rule, frugal, and loves his people. He has the military power of the Imperial Palace in Capital City firmly in his hands. Also, there are many top-level experts in the palace. An attempt to forcefully depose the emperor and kill him is not a viable path.”

“The other option is to seize the opportunity when there is a disaster and rebel, working our way from the local territories to Capital City.”

“If a war breaks out, this stash of treasure will undoubtedly be needed.”

“So, it’s an indefinite wait.” With a sigh, Tong Sanlang concluded.

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

Damn, so this is like a sword always hanging over her head, an indefinite torment!

“Does the Prime Minister know about this treasure?” She ventured to ask.

“He doesn’t. He sees Grandfather Liu as a country bumpkin who clawed his way up from the bottom. While both families are in the same boat, they are not in harmony with each other, and their only goal is to topple the Yang family’s reign over Mount Jiang.”

“Once the Yang family is overthrown, the two families will surely engage in a battle.”

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

Damn, damn, damn.

The Yang family’s reign over Mount Jiang is currently as secure as an iron barrel. However, the Shen family and Liu Liu haven’t even consolidated yet, and they are already indulging in internal strife.

With this level of planning, it would be ludicrous if their rebellion succeeded.

The worry on her small face inevitably grew deeper, and her gaze at Tong Sanlang was full of resentment.

A bitter smile appeared on Tong Sanlang’s handsome face, “You should live a peaceful life, not live each day on tenterhooks.”

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

She silently gazed at the young man seated across from her, an indescribable frustration welled up in her heart.

This damned reality!

“So, you’ll remain single all this while?” After a lengthy silence, she asked.

“Yes.”

“Then I’ll stay single for now too.”

For now.

The word “for now” tightened Tong Sanlang’s heart. What did she mean?

“I think, this won’t continue indefinitely. Ma Dongshu has always been wandering on the mountain, hasn’t he? Yang Ye invited him all the way over here; he must have some real skills. Although his skills may not match those of your great grandmother, he shouldn’t be incapable of finding the treasure, right?”

“This won’t drag on for too long.”

“So, you should consider the consequences of the treasure being discovered.”

“Until then, I’ll stay single, waiting for your result.”

Tong Sanlang was stunned.

Looking at Qiao Xiaomai, his heart was like an overturned bottle of mixed flavors, with all sorts of taste blending together.

Of course, the bitterness was the most prominent.

Many moments later, a light laugh emerged on his handsome face, “Fine.”

That was an unexpected answer.

Qiao Xiaomai, she likes him.

In the past, she was content with merely spending more time with him, but now, she really likes him.

This was a pleasing reality.

Made him want to laugh.

It was also a rational decision, which he entirely endorsed.

“What can I do for you?” Seeing his smile, a bitter feeling surged in Qiao Xiaomai’s heart.

“You don’t need to do anything. Just live your little life well.” Tong Sanlang gently shook his head, “The Sun family and Sun Junyan are walking into a dead-end, so be careful. I fear that they might harm you out of desperation.”

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

Why suddenly change the topic to the Sun family? What a killjoy.

She sniffed dismissively, “Rest assured, Sun Junyan doesn’t have the courage for a do-or-die resistance. As long as there’s even a sliver of hope, he’ll clench on to life. I think he’s likely racking his brain on how to climb up, not on dueling with me.”

“Just in case.”

Qiao Xiaomai’s small face crinkled, with unhappiness she said, “Don’t bring him up, let’s eat.”

She pointed at the food on the table, “If you want to eat, you can come to me every night.”

“Can I come find you even if I don’t want to eat?”
