“Okay.” Qian Jiyun smiled.
That’s right. We don’t have the capacity to do everything. Why should we care so much? We’ll do what we can and leave the rest to others who can do something about it.
“Let’s go up the mountain again tomorrow. We have nothing else to do anyway.”
An Jiuyue was stunned for a long time before nodding. “Alright.”
Can he read my mind? I was about to say that I’ll go into the mountains alone since there are people at home now, but he took the initiative to bring it up first. He’s really taking away all my personal space!
Of course, she hoped that Qian Jiyun would stay at home to take care of the children so that she could enter the mountains alone.
But was that possible? Absolutely not. Qian Jiyun would not let her enter the mountains alone.
However, even if Qian Jiyun and Qian Yiyun left… She would probably not enter the mountains often either. After all, there were five children at home. She had to be careful.
Later, An Jiuyue handed the children to Qian Jiyun and Qian Yiyun’s care. She returned to her room under the pretense that she wanted to rest.
Instead of entering her microcosmic space directly, she laid on the bed and immersed her consciousness in it.
“Master, are you really going to do nothing about the flood?” Wei Na could not resist asking. An Jiuyue had benefited a lot from this flood, after all.
“We should still do something, right? After all, we can earn points! Didn’t you give them the prescription? We can definitely save many people, right?”
An Jiuyue rolled her eyes. “So you know about the prescription!”
Her prescription and Qian Jiyun’s arrangements could decrease the number of people dying from the disease.
However, it was not her place to get involved in the food shortage problems. It was not like she could do anything.
“We’re just ordinary commoners. Why do we have to care so much? We just have to take care of ourselves,” she snapped.
I can’t even manage my own land. Do I still have the time to care about others?
Moreover, she believed that the Imperial Court would not really ignore this.
They might abandon them if the epidemic could not be cured. After all, epidemics raged fiercely like tigers, and the Imperial Court’s involvement might implicate even more people.
However, they would still distribute food if food shortage was the only concern.
The amount of time needed to distribute food would then depend on the capability of the ministers. That was not something she could control.
She was also not stupid enough to let Qian Jiyun get too involved. Qian Jiyun’s assets would belong to Zheng’er and Rong’er in the future. She could not give that away to outsiders freely, right?
Wei Na was speechless.
As expected of my master! She’s so thorough!
“Then why are you going into the mountains with him? Shouldn’t you go alone? You have to gather more herbs, right?”
“Yeah, I thought so too.” An Jiuyue flashed Wei Na a fake smile and nodded.
“Do you think so too, Master? That’s great! Why don’t—”
“Why don’t you discuss this with Qian Jiyun and tell him not to follow me into the mountains?”
“Huh?!”
An Jiuyue interrupted Wei Na’s nagging successfully with words so curt they almost caused Wei Na to sulk in a corner again.
